Changes

As the years passed, the Beatles' sound grew. From an old-fashioned rock and roll sound similar to the Beach Boys and Carl Perkins, the boys put out a much more mature sound on Revolver. They even experimented with folk on Rubber Soul. In 1967, the Beatles album Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band changed music as we know it forever. The psychedelic sound reflected what was going on in the world at that time and also displayed brilliant use of new technologies (such as stereo sound.)

With the White Album and Abbey Road, the Beatles had evolved into hard rockers. The songs had become more personal, and the band was beginning to fall apart. In the late sixties, the Beatles had fallen victim to bad business ventures (namely the Apple company,) and ended up losing the publishing rights to their own music. To this date, the rights are held by recording artist Michael Jackson. Also, creative differences were creating tension among the fab four. After 1970's Let it Be, the Beatles decided they'd had enough and called it quits.

Prior to Lennon hooking up with [[Yoko Ono]], the lads had agreed that only the four of them would be in the recording studio (no lady friends of any type).

In 2006, Cirque du Soleil opened a Beatle-themed show in Las Vegas, the aptly-titled "Love." The show has been an outstanding success, and so has the album put out of the same name, featuring new remixes of Beatles songs by Beatles producer George Martin and his son Giles. The album also features previously unreleased versions of Beatles classics such as "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" and "Strawberry Fields Forever."
