Serious I can't believe their Beatle career lasted really from '63 to '69 to me it felt like 15 years. So many physical changes as well as musical changes. Candlestick park to Let it be was only 2.5 years!!! Do you believe that?To me these days 6 years goes like the wind.

It actually started back in 1957, when John formed the Quarrymen. Paul joined in July '57 and George joined in February '58. There were many name changes until they finally settled on the Beatles in 1960, while performing in Hamburg. Ringo joined in August 1962, replacing original drummer Pete Best. It was in 1963 that Beatlemania swept the UK.
Okay, well filibuster. -

Really, for me, The Beatles werent really THE Beatles until Ringo joined in 1962. Thats when the band became The Beatles IMHO. Yep they had some, well actually quite a few recordings before 1962, but that was kind of a prologue to The Beatles. Without Ringo, they just werent THE Beatles.
So for me, The Beatles career together as a singular group was eight years in length.

That ignores all the preparation in terms of learning how their personalities / favoured influences complemented and contrasted , go-titans. If Lennon and McCartney had met in 62 instead of 57 then they wouldn't have that shared schoolboyish spirit of being the clever underdogs, that 'we'll show them that Liverpool can be cleverer than London'.

It was a time of many changes, and the Beatles were both a cause and effect of it. It was also a time of intense creativity for the Beatles, and looking back, it's no surprise that their breakup was sudden and nasty.
