Today, June 25th, is Global Beatles Day, and to celebrate, The Beatles and Apple Corps Ltd have released a colorized video of their beloved 1967 live performance of “All You Need Is Love.”
The original performance, captured at Studio One in Abbey Road Studios on June 25th, 1967, came as a part of BBC’s Our World; it was the first ever live global satellite TV event and broadcast to over 400 million people across 26 countries. The Beatles performed live vocals over a pre-recorded instrumental, with figures like Mick Jagger, Eric Clapton, Keith Richards, Keith Moon, and Marianne Faithfull in the audience.
Captured at the height of their success — and in the midst of the 1967 “Summer of Love” — the performance became a significant chapter in The Beatles’ global explosion. In 2009, lifelong Beatles fan Faith Cohen began a movement to commemorate the day of the performance, dubbing June 25th “Global Beatles Day.” The Beatles and Apple Corps Ltd have now formally acknowledged Global Beatles Day, and posted the original “All You Need Is Love” rendition from Our World, now colorized, on their YouTube page. It’s the first time the performance has been made available online. Watch it below.
The Beatles and Apple Corps have been happy to walk down memory lane in the last few years. The band released “Now and Then,” an unearthed Beatles song featuring posthumous contributions from John Lennon and George Harrison, back in 2023; it won Best Rock Performance at the 2025 Grammys. The Beatles will also be the subject of a new four-part biopic from director Sam Mendes, with the project set to hit theaters in April 2028.
Meanwhile, Paul McCartney just released a brand new album, The Boys of Dungeon Lane.
