:11:01
And it was there that,
really, it all started.

:11:05
It took about eight months to...
:11:07
get to the stage
where we had a recording contract...

:11:10
and we were having
the first record issued.

:11:13
That was Love Me Do.
:11:36
I think it was a very fortunate
coming together...

:11:39
that we seemed to hit it off very well.
:11:41
When we were in the studio,
we did really collaborate as a team.

:11:45
There weren't any egos
protruding through.

:11:49
But I was very, very lucky
to have met up with them.

:11:53
George had done no rock 'n'roll
when we met him...

:11:56
and we'd never been in the studio,
so we did a lot of learning together.

:11:59
He had a very great
musical knowledge and background.

:12:05
So he could translate for us
and suggest a lot of things. Which he did.

:12:08
And he'd come up with
amazing technical things.

:12:12
When the Beatles were depressed,
thinking the group was going nowhere...

:12:16
and this is a shitty deal,
and we're in a shitty dressing room...

:12:19
I'd say, "Where are we going, fellas?"
:12:21
And they'd go, "To the top, Johnny!"
:12:23
And I'd say, "Where's that, fellas?"
:12:24
And they'd say,
"To the toppermost of the poppermost!"

:12:27
And I'd say, "Right!"
Then we'd all sort of cheer up.

:12:32
When I was a Beatle...
:12:34
I thought, "We're the best fucking group
in the goddamn world. "

:12:37
And believing that
is what made us what we were.

:12:39
It was just a matter of time
before everybody else caught on.

:12:47
Thank you.
:12:49
For our last number,
I'd like to ask your help.

:12:53
For the people in the cheaper seats,
clap your hands.

:12:57
And the rest of you,
if you'd just rattle your jewelry.
