The year was 1989. I was a wee lad in kindergarten with a profound fascination for this song. Something about the orchestral arrangements, the repetitive chorus, the background harmonies - it all made my little five-year-old world seem so vibrant and alive. I remember feeling absolutely on top of the world with a portable cassette player and this song playing over and over again, and I thought everyone would appreciate the song just as much as I did, so I brought my little cassette player to school when it was my turn for show-and-tell. I didn't quite get the reaction I expected. 
Oasis to the Beatles. I get the hidden message.
Few could credibly deny that they were the most influential band ever. I live within a mile or two of John Lennon's childhood home, Strawberry Fields, which backs onto it, and Penny lane. I even had a hand designing an extension to what used to be "The shelter in the midlle of the roundabout" referrred to in Penny Lane which is in Smithdown Place. It used to be a tram shelter but is now a  (Sadly vacant ) incomplete cafe / restaurant. It did trade for some time as "Sgt Peppers".
1967, the year I left school and the world was my oyster, playing this constantly.....not sure how many pearls I've created but it's been fun trying!

Great segue from Oasis, Bill.

I guess it makes people feel quite superior to state that the Beatles weren't any good. But of course they are pretty much wrong on a number of levels. To put things into perspective, consider that pretty much everything we hear from the Beatles comes from a mere six year time period. We in the states first heard them singing simple thoug very well executed pop songs like "She Loves You" on the Sullivan song in 1964, and those songs made everything else on the radio sound old. Less than three years later they gave us Tomorrow Never knows and Sgt Pepper shortly after that. Every single Beatles album moved the game on for everyone. They were the backbone of the rock world and almost everyone else could be seen taking some part of what they did and expanding on it. Can you think of any other band that changed so much in six years, not to mention taking the whole popular music world with them? The fact that they were the center is probably why the parties MXDCED went to (and I as well) didn't play them. Then as now, people didn't want to do the obvious, so they play the off-shoots cause it showed what they themselves discovered. Nothing wrong with that. But you would be hard-pressed to find any of those bands the weren't influenced by the Beatles in some way. And I'm sure everyone at those parties had favorite beatles songs of their own. We all like to think we are alternative thinkers and too cool for what is pop and obvious. But when it comes to the Beatles, the general conventions do not apply. In fact, given their constant experimentation, one could argue that they pretty much were an alternative band, that everyone just happened to listen to.

Well, love, and some really cold beer.   ; )

I believe that they may have been referring to love at a higher dimension than just anti war, e.g., love for oneself and handling difficult people, those with different opinions etc, with love.
There will NEVER be an equal for so MANY reasons!

A bar or two of that string play sounds like a slice of Vivaldi 4 Seasons. Not saying they borrowed, I'm saying they were inspired to experiment. How many un-rock instruments did the Fabs ever incorporate? A bunch.

Cool! Great memory. I remember seeing that episode play in its first run on US TV back in the late sixties. Too damn cool. Be seeing you.
I hope someone burns in hell for selling this song for a commercial. "Been A Long Time" is one thing. This is entirely another. As I child I watched the debut performance of this song telecast via satellite LIVE around the world. Of course, we do that all the time now, but then it was a true feat of engineering, and very expensive....talk about your rich philanthropists.

You know, at the end of the big shindig for the Queen of England recently, there were a ton of stars on stage (including the brilliant moment where Brian May stood on top of the building and played "God Save The Queen") and, like all those shows, everyone came on stage for the big finale. They played "All You Need is Love" and Paul was there with the rest of rock royalty. I leaned over to the wife and said "You know, there's not one soul on the stage or in the production team who, at any time, said 'I have a better idea for what tune to play!'"
I could have come up with plenty of better ideas if they had asked me, like the Pistols' 'God Save the Queen', The Smiths' 'The Queen is Dead', or The Stone Roses' 'Elizabeth My Dear'. That would have given the parasites something to rattle their jewellery about while those of us in the cheap seats clap our hands.

I got chills, while hearing this song and reading these lines....it's freezing
All you need is to define it in some sort of similiar way.
Pretty much the greatest love song ever written!
The Beatles were letting their historic significance play a role in making a better world for all of us. I will always love them for that. Plus their music, of course.
I love the audio collage of other music at the end of the track...I picked out at least three: 1. One of their own tunes ("She loves you, yeah yeah yea") 2. A Bach 2-part invention - I think the one in F major, and that's on the trumpet part... 3. What Child is This? (Greensleeves?) played on the strings... One of my favorite tracks on Magical Mystery Tour, the first Beatles album I ever bought.
I love how "She loves you, yeah yeah yeah" is incorporated into it

Sorry but the Beatles are far from outdated and meaningless. Everyone keeps coming back to them. Everyone discovers them once in his life. And "All you need is love" means a lot, or at least it should ! BobbyCat wrote:
... pick up some good surprises like "You're Going To Lose That Girl", "She Loves You", "Do You Want To Know A Secret", "Please Please Me" ... for example.
Sorry again, but from these four tracks, at least two were no.1 in the charts, so it would be difficult to classify them as surprises. But I agree that some great songs like Good morning good morning should be played more. So we agree: more Beatles !!!

I'm so tired of hearing the Beatles over and over again. Please. That's my only complaint about RP. I used to listen to them when I was 15. I had ALL their records all right. The walls in my bedroom were covered with the Beatles. I still know nearly all their lyrics by heart. Their music was revolutionary then, but it's all flat now, outdated, boring and meaningless. At least the tracks that you choose to play. From a nostalgia point of vue, I don't need to go back to this period of my life that often. So if you really want to play more Beatles, pick up some good surprises like "You're Going To Lose That Girl", "She Loves You", "Do You Want To Know A Secret", "Please Please Me" ... for example.
A very good message!
...there's no place you can be that isn't where you're meant to be....

My sister did the same thing at her wedding two years ago as a surprise for the family. And she didn't even see the movie. For her recessional song, my brothers and I performed "Here, There and Everywhere". We are all die-hard Beatle fanatics.

Well,get the h*ll off of here then if you don't want to hear great Beatles music! They have the highest rated songs on here so most people want to hear them!!!! Billy Preston would tell you what an ignorant fool you are too! Songs like Paul's great blues rocker She's A Woman from late 1964,his hard rocking(especially for 1965) screaming rocker I'm Down,John's great 1964 rocker,You Can't Do That,his song I Feel Fine recorded in October 1964 was the first ever to use feedback guitar,Paul's Back In The USSR,Birthday,Helter Skelter which has been called the first true heavy metal/punk rock song,John's great hard rocking song,Revolution,Yer Blues,Every Body's Got Something to Hide Except Me And My Monkey,most of the whole White Album,many on Abbey Road and many more are GREAT *ROCK* songs! Also,John's If I Fell,I'll Be Back,etc,Paul's And I Love Her,Things We Said Today etc are beautiful songs with beautiful melodies and harmonies and great singing! Also The Beatles are the most covered music artists of all time,everyone from Heavy metal,to classical composers,to motown artists have recorded their great songs! Rick Wakeman of the group Yes recorded a Beatles tribute album in 1998! :verymad: :verymad:

Not true at all,I was born in 1965 during the middle of their recording career,but I have been a highly impressed huge Beatles fan,especially a big John and Paul fan since I was 9,I got my first Beatles book for my 11th birthday and I had every album by age 13! The Beatles Anthologies came out 1n 1995 25 years after they split up and yet it went to # 1 and sold millions worlwide,I heard a radio DJ say that 40% of the people buying them were teenagers. Same thing with The Beatles CD 1 which came out 31 years after they broke up and went to # 1 in many countries including the US soon after it came out and 30% of the people buying this CD are teenagers too!I just saw on a guys blog that The Beatles are the # 1 selling artists in The Amazon.com's Hall of Fame. He said it's plausible because The Beatles are the greatest rock group of all time! U2 is # 2 and The Rolling Stones are at # 10 in The Amazon.com's Hall Of Fame! But these groups are still together The Beatles broke in 1970! And this is because they *REALLY ARE* THE GREATEST ROCK GROUP OF ALL TIME and they made great timeless music that will always endure! I have found many teenage and college age Beatles fans and musicians on music reviews,Beatles fan sites and other message boards!
This is a very good song that was written specifically for the British TV show Our World in June 1967 and was the very first live via satellite program seen live by many other countries. The Beatles were chosen to represent the summer of love 1967 and John came up with the perferct song for the times. Mick Jagger can clearly be seen sitting in the front row clapping his hands and singing All You Need is Love! He was there along with many of their other friends including Eric Clapton,Keith Richards and Gram Nash. Please see my recent review of The Beatles song, Dear Prudence to see why poster mxdcec and some others,have totally inaccurate,ridiculous,ignorant myths and misperceptions about The Beatles! :)

Thank you, Tux! Couldn't have said it better. It is odd that every argument for why I'm misguided in not liking the Beatles begins with how influential they were ... almost as if without the Beatles we would all be listening to chamber music. ...not that there is anything wrong with that.

What is it that people are somehow not allowed to not like the Beatles? Do they live in an Ivory tower? I indeed hesitated to post my dislike here, because I expected a flood of "You're wrong" messages. Beatles fans prove to be rather reluctant to accepting others to not like their favourite music.

One of my favorite tunes ever! I love towards the fade how Paul tips his cap to "She Loves You". In that movie LOVE ACTUALLY, it was pretty cool how they played "Love Is All You Need" as the recessional song of the wedding scene.

Thank you Bill, Thank you John! Strange to think he's been gone 24 years, but with us for so much longer!
Shoot. Here I thought Bill was playing La Marseillaise, which kicks the Star Spangled Banner's butt as far as national anthem go.
What the heck is a squealer?
This song should definitely be played. I truly believe that when something is done with love. Anything at all. There would be no loss in the world.
