A Tribute to
Four lads from Liverpool who changed the world. The greatest band in history — twelve albums, a cultural revolution, and music that will never die.
How it all began
John Lennon forms The Quarrymen in 1956 — a skiffle group from Woolton. In July 1957, he meets Paul McCartney at a church fête. A handshake between two teenagers becomes the founding moment of modern music.
Ringo Starr joins, locking in the final line-up. EMI's George Martin signs them. "Love Me Do" reaches #17 in the UK. They record their debut album in a single session of barely ten hours.
Britain erupts. Five number ones in a single year. The screaming is so loud at concerts the band can barely hear themselves play. Royal Variety Performance. Five million viewers. Nothing like this has ever happened before.
73 million Americans watch The Beatles on The Ed Sullivan Show. They simultaneously hold the top five positions on the Billboard Hot 100 — an achievement that has never been matched. America falls completely in love.
The Beatles stop touring and retreat into Abbey Road. Revolver. Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. The White Album. Each record rewrites what popular music is capable of. The world holds its breath and listens.
Abbey Road — their masterpiece — is their final recording together. On April 10th, McCartney announces the split. The music of the decade is over. The music of all time has only just begun.

The melodist. McCartney's gift for irresistible, hummable melody produced some of the most played songs in human history. His knighthood in 1997 only made official what the world already knew.

The quiet Beatle. Harrison brought Eastern philosophy, the sitar, and transcendent spirituality into Western pop. Songs like "Something" and "Here Comes the Sun" proved his genius was equal to anyone alive.
