Speaker 1 (00:01):
And Amanda gam Nation. Well, speaking of music and people
going crazy, many of us, I'm sure have wondered what
it would be like to be a fly on the
wall in those iconic moments in the early Beatles with
his amazing hits.

Speaker 2 (00:20):
You, I Love You.

Speaker 1 (00:23):
Apparently the Beatles could never hear themselves because the screaming
was just intense. They had to play over that noise.
The crowd couldn't even hear them. They just saw them
and went to bsserve.

Speaker 2 (00:36):
And they didn't have all the stuff that they had
these days in their ears and you know the little
hiphone characters and stuff, well they have so they can
hear themselves sing. They just have fold back. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (00:45):
Yeah, but it'd be an amazing time to be alive
to those incredible crowds. Well, I was listening to a
music historian who shared an insight into what it was
actually like to be at a concert like that, and
he said it was the smell that was intriguing sweat urine,
as he said, the smell of piss. I'm sorry sorry,

(01:08):
because he said, young girls would pass out and we themselves.

Speaker 2 (01:13):
Yeah, they go nuts.

Speaker 1 (01:14):
There the story goes, and this is what he has
said that at the Beatles' concerts, they would get this
scent of urine, he said, peers, and they weren't sure
where it was coming from. As the Beatles would start performing,
they were noticing that girls were passing out all over
the place and winging themselves. It happened so much that
the smell was pretty wild, and he went on to

(01:36):
say he can't think of a modern performer that would
incite the same level. One of the comments here I
thought was interesting, saying it's not only about the artists,
but also the audience's sensitivity. Nowadays, people are so overstimulated,
especially with phones, etc. That they're desensitized to everything. Back
in those days, that was the burgeoning generation really of

(01:58):
teenagers and and them, and all of a sudden you
had the Beetles. Girls just didn't have where to put
themselves with it. Yeah, so who would you see that?
It make you we yourself, Oh, radiators, I think they're
doing that for you up on stage. You know who
do it for me?

Speaker 2 (02:15):
Still doing it?

Speaker 1 (02:16):
This woman Nya or an Oco flow. It's got mine
going right now, ladies. So next time you look at
that incredible Beetles footage, scratch and sniff, No, let it pee, Oh,
let it pee by the Beetles
