Beatles "Penny Lane" (from 1967)

This Lennon-McCartney song, with Paul McCartney being the main contributor in the writing, is one of their finest songs.
The song was written about an area they frequented as youths, in Liverpool England but the filming for the music video they did in this 1967 appearance, was actually in London.
The age of the film, the time period, the cool garb the Beatles are dressed in, the cool sunglasses and mustaches, make for moments captured, that can never be recaptured.
Notice the amazement of the people who see John Lennon walking down the street in public, with his own look of dazed-amazement on his face. Again, this is an interesting Beatle video and one of their greatest songs.
