I don’t see a difference

The difference here is money and power.
In the first picture they were a new and upcoming band, someone else had the money and power and they toed the line to get the TV spot.
In the 2nd picture none of that was the case. They didn’t need the TV spot and could just sing some shit on a roof top in there street clothes.
Before and after LSD
Ahh, the worlds cultural change and not months on acid?
As Mick Jagger said, the end of the 60s was very different to the start
Everything is fine, change is the law of nature, one who does change himself with time get destroyed.
I hate the Beatles.
Funny thing is, older people saw both the mod and hippie looks the kids were sporting with derision.
That 1969 pictures is featured in Peter Jackson’s documentary. It was a random concert on the top of the Apple studio rooftop. The police came. They took pictures with the Beatles. It was spontaneous. There’s a chyron at the bottom that says something like, “This is the last time the Beatles ever played together live.” I think about that all the time. When I’m hanging with friends or visiting family, for whatever reason, this might the last time I see any of these people.
It’s wild to think that only 5 years pass between these two photos. In today’s time, that’s basically the gap between 2019 and now, but it feels like a century of cultural evolution happened in between
The world changed to colour in the 60s, it was a magical time

People these days don’t understand the suits in first picture weren’t fashion at the time. Their look was closer to Green Day who also wear shirts and ties.
Let’s be honest, John just took his tie off and neglected going to the Barber’s.
The top pictures from 1962. They got the drop t logo on the drum kit in 1963.
The first photo is not from 1964. It’s from 1963 and an appearance on “Thank your lucky stars”
The 60s really went from polished and clean cut to full creative freedom in just a few years.
What’s funny is that the first image looks like the 50s and the second the 70s. The 60s were a psy-op.
Yes. They went outside.
It’s wild how one decade can look like two different worlds.
The 60s speedran cultural evolution.
Early 60s and late 60s barely feel connected.
You can literally watch society changing in real time.
The vibe shift was absolutely seismic.
Who are these guys?
LSD is a hellova drug!
The 60s really felt like an entire generation changed almost overnight.
Drugs, the Beatles did A LOT of drugs in those 5 years too
Five years aged them 15 years.
It still amazes me that we went from Petula Clark to Jimi Hendrix in less than a few years.
The Beatles looked a lot rougher than that in their days in Hamburg with their leather jackets. Brian Epstein got them to dress like that.
And Paul’s still playing the same bass guitar.
The invention of colour alone is such a huge change.
