The Beatles – Our World global event – All You Need Is Love – 25th June 1967

do you remember watching this?

Alan Esdaile… Remember watching this with my sister and our parents being critical and saying how can you call this a song when they are only singing the same words over again and again. I think we were singing it for the rest of the week to wind them up!

Jim Breeds…. Yes, I watched it and my Dad ranted at it. You know the type of thing, I’m sure. Generation Gap. 🙂

Andy Qunta… Yes I remember watching! Loved it! Thought it was amazing to have the whole world linked up, which was a new concept! Beatles were great! Loved the arrangement!

Dave Nattress… I do remember seeing this having got my parents to understand it was a big deal. I also remember seeing Magical Mystery Tour and expecting a lot but somehow feeling it wasn’t so good after all. As for the repeated words I certainly never bothered letting the old chap listen to the long fade-out of Hey Jude!!!

Mick O’Dowd…. Yes remember this. In good old technicolour black & white!

Andre Martin… I remember playing this record back in June 1967, was booked to do a show at a Youth Centre somewhere in London, very near Wandsworth Town Hall, managed to get a copy from Alan Jensen at the Disc Jockey.

David Edwards… At the time I thought it wishy washy crap, never changed my opinion.

Di Veness… agreed

Colin Bell… I remember, i think that’s the point where my Mum & Dad finally gave up & thought they’d lost me to the dark side..

Matt Thomas…. dunno,you didnt see us when you was in the office lol

Mick O’Dowd….Picture  update. Blonde female turned away from camera was,I think, called Lesley.

Mick O’Dowd… Circuit 4 if memory serves me right were: Cliff Brooker, Mervyn Ashdown, and a guy called Neil(?) on drums but the name of the 4 th one eluds me. Any takers?

Harry Randall… Circuit 4 took the name from Watkins Circuit 4 guitar, wasn’t one of the guys called Clive? He was a lefty and I bought my Watkins Rapier 33 from him when he upgraded to a Circuit 4

Mick O’Dowd… There was Cliff Brooker of the builders merchant family in Norman Road. G.H.Brooker

Geoff Evans… I think the names you’re after are Keith Barron on drums and Tony Hughes lead guitarist (left handed and had a couple of Watkins Rapier models).
