Groovy Beatles pictures

As for the all know best comment, there is nothing that I can see from that clip where it is an inside joke. I think there is too much reading into it, in this case. I don't see any facial expression or inflection which would lead me to think that Lennon is being facetious here, especially in reference to Pete Best. There is no connection, IMO.

I tend to agree.
"Probably know best.... probably know it best"...
I think it was likely just more a comment about how many times they'd played the song.

The girl to the left, who appears to be in an eye lock with Paul,
is the future Mrs. John Lennon, Cynthia Powell.

Anyone wonder whatever happened to Kenny Brown? Bet he remembers very well playing with the Quarrymen.

Ken Brown is still around as far as I know.

So , why would he say it once, then look over to Paul, and say it again??

He then turns to Paul, and, with a snigger, winks and nods at him, and repeats the line,..."We all know Best!" Clearly a dig at their former bandmate.

Greg, I was going off of your original interpretation quoted above, which isn't accurate, IMO. Nowhere in there do I see and snigger and a wink, or the slightest hint of sarcasm. Besides, when he turns to face over to where Paul and George are, he repeats, "probably know it best."

I might add, in a lot of Beatles' concerts you hear, Lennon & McCartney repeat many words they say, when talking to the audience, announcing songs, etc. Crowd noise probably played a role, along with the fact that monitors weren't used at the time.

When did the use of stage monitors begin?

When did the use of stage monitors begin?

10 minutes after they stopped touring.

10 minutes after they stopped touring.

HAaaaa... I think thats just about right. It's amazing that they were able to sing as well as they did with no monitors and such a primitive sound system.

Ok, point taken guys! I thought i was onto a good thing there!
