The summer of 1967 was popularly known as the "Summer of Love" in America . Here's some Beatles songs from this time. Check out the links to AllMusic.com to read in more depth.
All You Need is Love -This was a world wide live broadcast on June 25, 1967 that was viewed by 350 million people in 26 countries. While many were violently protesting the Vietnam War the Beatles were reminding everyone just to love each other. If you listen closely you can hear John Lennon chewing his gum.
If you've never heard the Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band album by the Beatles you are missing out on understanding a key moment in rock history, a turning point in the way music was crafted and recorded, and a very enjoyable album. We will talk about Sgt. Peppers more in a future post.
Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band - First 3 Songs (Audio)- Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, With a Little Help From My Friends, Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds.

If you play them both at the same time, it is just like being back in the 60's... "for real"

What would you say to someone who thinks rock and roll was "just a bunch of screaming" and loud noises?

In the School of Rock, There is no better place to start than with the Beatles. In my humble opinion.
Is that Mick Jagger in the video towards the end?
