The Beatles Tour - Social Studies

The Beatles are an English rock band, originated in Liverpool, England, in 1960. The band consists of 4 members; Paul McCartney, John Lennon, Ringo Starr, George Harrison. 

What made The Beatles famous? The Beatles contributed in the music industry influencing the music, filmatography and literature, this made a big impact to the art and fashion industry as well, as a result of a change in cultures and lifestyle of several generations. 

How long were they together? The Beatles had been together for eight years.



The Difference between The 1975 (Band I like) and The Beatles: 




People who liked The Beatles tour in New Zealand (Positive):
The Maori performed the "Haka", a traditional and cultural Maori dance for greeting someone important. 
The Beatles able to feature their music during the tour. Some fans said it was "life changing" because of the influence the band made to varieties of industries. 

People who disliked The Beatles tour in New Zealand (Negative): Over 7,000 fans greeted The Beatles at the airport in Wellington, violating the police officers and the band's privacy. Jealous boyfriends of fangirls threw eggs and tomatoes at the windows of The Beatles' hotels. The Beatles disrespecting the Maori culture. Fans screaming which made the music performed by the band unheard. The Beatles struggling to perform infront of screaming and hysterical fans. The Beatles had a hard time going in and out of their hotel and the concert halls. Crazy fan girls trying to climb up the windows and fences. Fans hurting each other and themselves, risking their lives just to see The Beatles. A girl slashed her wrist after The Beatles refused to receive introduction from the fan. Some people think that the music The Beatles make are "Anti-religious".
