The Beatles - A Day In The Life Complete Recording/Promo Filming Session (February 10, 1967)

- Hi everyone,
This is my compilation of all the available footage we have of the Beatles’ orchestral recording session and party for A Day In The Life on February 10th, 1967. I have attempted to properly sequence this film in an accurate way, as well as using all available sources for outtakes (the HMC discs The Long and Winding Road, Rare Unseen & Unheard, and the Sgt. Pepper Commemorative Issue), as well as the Joe Cocker promo for With a Little Help From My Friends. All of this footage was silent so I have added various John demos from 1967 as an audio counterpart. It was very difficult to attempt to make sense of all this footage, so I hope you all enjoy!

That last 5 minutes with John Lennon working on Strawberry Fields is amazing.
Yeah, hearing John's genius as he relentlessly worked out Strawberry Fields was fascinating! As a long time fan I was astounded when it got to that part. The rest was great footage of how much levity they brought to the session.
Mick and Keith were hanging out and right in the beginning I could have sworn I saw Roger Daultry but I'm not sure. What a rare find ! Every true Beatles fan will be on cloud nine if they come across this one and watch it through. A true fan _will_ watch it through right?
I don't know about you but knowing Strawberry Fields I was watching and thinking "There he just got a bit closer when he went from "it's not too bad" to "I mean it's not too bad " knowing he'd eventually sing "That is I think it's not too bad "
Alright, Peace and Love as Ringo says. ✌️❤️
Along with the visuals
This raw footage is a dream for all Beatle fans around the world......incredible......
Yes this very nice for watching this yes
Yes!
Nesmith was definitely proud to be hanging out with Lennon. Even in his final interviews, Nez would always talk about how great meeting Lennon was.
Seeing Papa Nez with Lennon ….so cool. A Beatle and a Monkee!
Nesmith definitely could have been a Beatle , and produced quality songs on the par with Harrison with John and Paul providing the mold. I really love his Monkee song “The Girl I Knew Somewhere”.
And Mary, Mary…You Told Me, You Just May Be The One, Sunny Girlfriend, Daily Nightly, All The Kings Horses, Sweet Young Thing, Aunties Municipal Court, While I Cry etc…
Of course he was. Ultimate chuff.
my friend you r insane i mean cmon like to be on your drugs though happy trails@@jmadratz
I feel like I just participated in someone's acid trip. Bizarre. You did an amazing job on this.
The beatles estaban evolucionando y eran democráticos compartieron su música con Bryan Jones mick Jagger Keith richards Keith moon Eric clapton. Mick Jagger Keith richards sabían q los beatles estaban evolucionando ellos necesitaban de ellos para evolucionar musicalmente y en sus portadas de sus albumnes artísticamente y en la administración fueron estafados ,a los beatles les pasaron igual con la desconfianza de la administración de Alan Klein y en las composiciones de sus inicios la dupla Lennon mccartney las rivalidades de Lennon mc cartney y la presencia de yoko ono en las grabaciones de estudio acabaron con l disolución del grupo y llegó al aburrimiento y a la desintegración del grupo los máximos representantes de la década de los 60
Yes, how it captures the edgy, erratic but ultimately brilliant recording session.
I’m sure they didn’t give it much regard at the time, but all those studio musicians must cherish the stories of being a part of the most famous album ever recorded. Something to pass on to their children and grandchildren. Something real and audible for them to experience.
Absolutely 😊.
But this is not dark side of the moon
@@fchampd4512no, it was the album that influenced Dark Side!
A lot of those would have looked down on pop acts like the Beatles at the time. History has put it right
It's a happening! This footage is an important documentation of a monumental event in music and cultural history. It should be preserved forever.
Can you imagine if they'd filmed the process of "Pepper" the way they did for "Let it Be"? What an incredible document that would be.
@@redadamearth Yes, absolutely! Also, I read that Ron Richards, producer of The Hollies and friend of The Beatles, was visiting Abbey Road Studios and stopped by a control room to say hello to George Martin and Geoff Emerick. The George Martin and Lennon/McCartney approved mix of the completed Sgt. Pepper had just been done. Martin offered to play it for Richards partly to get his professional reaction and critique. The story is that Richards started sobbing during A Day In The Life towards the end of the playback. Asked what was wrong, he told Martin and Emerick that he wanted to quit the business, because "no producer or band can ever equal or top this music and production" and he left the studios visibly shaken. That is reportedly a true story.
Brian Wilson felt like that too. That’s why smile took so long
@@robertcooper5604 Yes, Brian tried doing more LSD to see if that would bring out his musical creativity to the level of Pepper, but instead of miraculous results, it contributed to a series of nervous breakdowns, making him a broken man. Pet Sounds is Brian's masterpiece and will remain one of the greatest albums ever produced.
@@redadamearth Maybe this gave inspiration for a) Magical Mystery Tour (the film/tv show) and eventually b) Let It Be/Get Back by simply pointing cameras anywhere and everywhere and see what happens? This is an amazing conglomeration right here. They were beginning to document themselves and we can see where they had invited people to come by to hear/see/experience "the BIG show" of the orchestra on A Day In The Life. And the orchestra definitely when along for the playful ride.
Great job! I had no idea there was this much from this session out there. Great idea to marry it up with John’s home tapes too! Superb
Love the footage of Patti Boyd...an absolute beauty. She was amazing.
This is amazing! THANKS! (Also, thanks for not putting a logo on the footage as a few channels have started doing. The quality here is amazing...a great gift to The Beatles community.)
Does this also include the footage used in Joe Cockers "With A Little Help" promo film ?
@@user-xv9vz8lq6tYes, it's mentioned in the description
@@user-xv9vz8lq6t Yes, it does
@@adambound7284 Dear Adam .. I can't thank you enough for this and all the other videos you have put on UA-cam that feature The Beatles. Thank you !!!
Thank you for the awesome work Adam 😻
thank you for your work man, that's truly amazing
This is AMAZING, extraordinary work Adam!! Thank you for doing this and sharing it.
wow, ive always been looking around for more footage of the beatles in the studio, THIS is an absolute goldmine, thank you!
Awesome...love this stuff... it amazes me to keep seeing things like this. Growing up reading every Beatle book I could find...this is a surreal dream to see these images...just WOW!!!!
Thanks a lot Adam.
Fantastic work.
For having tried this very task myself and having seen another vid of a guy attempting it too, i can tell you that you did a wonderful job ! Even going as far as correcting the speed of many of the shots, i bet this was a nightmare to do, as usual thank you so much for your content ! 👏
This is great. Thanks for all the work you put into these videos.
Seconded.
The entire thing was some of the most rare footage I've seen! Hearing John's genius as he was in the early stages of working out Strawberry Fields was fascinating! Thanks for uploading this. As a long time fan I was over the moon!!
what a treasure! Thank you!
Thanks! What a great time to be old enough to enjoy this era!
Wow!! Amazing.. thank you for sharing this!!
Many thanks for the upload.
Thanks for sharing this fascinating insight into the trippy world of mid-60's Beatles psychadelia. (subscribed)
This is great footage! I didn’t even know Nesmith was there and Jagger and Richards. Plus more footage of George, Paul and Ringo. Fantastic! And the parody music John was making is amusing as well.
Thanks for sharing this gem.
They were in the “music video” compiled from this footage on The Beatles Anthology in 1995. Go back and watch it perhaps.
At 16:24, Paul is talking to percussionist Tristan Fry. later of Pop-Classical Supergroup "Sky".
Amazing... thank you very much!
Thank you very much, a wonderful document
This is some of the most amazing Beatle-material to ever reach the public - both audio and footage.
So groovy this is insane ! What a VERY,,VERY strange trip it's been. SMILE IN PEACE !
Went on a tour of Abbey Road recently and they spoke about the recording process. The orchestra was in studio 1. Studio 1 had fallen out of favour for classical recording because of its lack of reverb so EMI stuck a hundred or so speakers on the walls and fed the recording back through them with a little delay to give a tunable atmosphere - "ambiophonic" I think it was called. It was taken down in the 70s. Maybe you can just make out the speakers in the shadows (around 10:04 for example). The orchestra's reverb comes from that system. John's voice was recorded in studio 2 and that reverb comes from the echo chamber in what used to be a bomb shelter at the back of studio 2.
How does it feel to be one of the beautiful people?
Now that you know who you are?
@@walrus413 What do you want to be?
And, you get to trip balls, play with sparklers and smoke copious amounts of cigarettes. Lol. But, the kicker is you're doing all of this with The Beatles. Not to mention The Stones, Donovan, et al. A splendid time is guaranteed for all...
@@waynej2608 and have you traveled very far?
There's nothing you can sing that can't be sung.
This one is amazing, thank you
Thanks for doing this! I'm sure it was a lot of work.
What a treat, thanks!
WOW! This is mind-blowing stuff! I can't believe this exists. What an absolute gift it is to see and in such exceptional quality. I really luv the soundtrack you put to the footage as well, it suits the film so well. All so fantastic and my new favourite. And such wonderful clips of George & Patti together looking absolutely in love. ❤
GREAT! Thank you
Amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yes they were beautiful people I was one and I’m not bad now 😊 Hey thanks for this. Far out man!🇬🇧
What an incredible collection of «Strawberry Fields ...» prototypes!
The Beatles espetacular, sensacional. The Beatles para sempre!
Magical! Hard work but well worth it. Thanks
Excellent!!
This is fantastic
"It was very difficult to attempt to make sense of all this footage.....". Actually, makes total sense once the 3 hits of LSD take effect.
Excellent & Wonderfull work A/B. í doubt if The Beatles nor anyone involved at the time could have made much sense of it, so your stab is as good as any other...!
John's demos are mostly using mellotron backing tracks. Whereas the Beatles used the mellotron as an instrument e.g. Strawberry Fields flute setting, I can only think of the classical guitar intro to Bungalow bill where the actually used one of the backing patterns. Fascinating!
The music here is John and his mellotron keyboard, with its prerecorded samples that you can manipulate to produce an (almost) endless arsenal of musical backgrounds. Other parts are guitar and piano, played live. Some of the things he says and sings toward the beginning indicates this was the beginning of the "You Know My Name" concept, which was during the sessions for SGT. PEPPER, so this all fits together. The footage is all over the place, but it looks like much of it was someone else's, starting around the 14 minute mark.
And all of that is John? I could have sworn I heard Ringo messing around vocally at some point earlier on.
Also early on, it sounds like John is working out the idea for Good Morning!
The John Audio cracks me up
What a Joy to Watch/Good Times 🐞
So groovy this is insane ! What a VERY,, VERY strange trip it's been. Smile In Peace !
A Day In The Life the greatest song ever recorded
Nice find 👍 👏👏
So great to see. God, if only there was audio to know what some of those conversations were. lol
Wow! It's a veritable who's who in the dawn of Classic Rock. Who would've ever thought to see Michael Nesmith talking to John Lennon? How many of The Stones were there, besides Jagger and Richards. Was that a baby-faced Chris Squire? It's amazing how they all came to sit at the feet of who they believed were giving direction. I would love to see the list of the turnaways. I bet it was long and distinguished.
Donovan is at the beginng
Charlie Watts was shown briefly as well.
Is just me? Or those John's 5 minutes singing make me nostalgic..
Brilliant!!
That is fantastic. I'd never heard Strawberry Fields being written before. Some parts still not resolved as in later works where such progressions were left as is. Very interesting.
Wow gear fab Adam out of bounds!!
MIKE NESMITH!
FAB WORK!
Some of the singing with Caribbean beat sounds like John's trip to the Bahamas with Julian when he was about 3. It sounds like his voice about that time as well. 3:40
Superb xx
Yeah…the You Know My Name (Look Up The Number) masterpiece.
John's "stranger " song shows he wrote standard type songs also
Frank Zappa would've probably liked them more if these demos had been put out as product.
OMG I can't believe there is a recording of John Lennon messing around with his Mellotron MkII and singing random stuff. From 1967. He had a set of demo tapes that were not available to the general public - it's where the guitar intro to Bungalow Bill came from.
What a scene
Haunting.
Holy Sh*t... .You ROCK AdamBound!!!! BigTime!!!!What else are you hiding...lol !
John and Ringo were the two best at doing accents and changing their voices. John in particular. It is evident in their Christmas messages as well. You can definitely see where You Know My Name came from. Goofing around and having a jolly old time.
Paul is pretty good too
Yes, check the beginning of “Rocky Raccoon” and the spoken word part on the beginning of the full album version of “Listen To What The Man Said” from “Venus & Mars” album.
Naw Paul is better and I don’t think it’s even close. In Get Back Paul changes his voice so many times and can imitate people and accents much better. There is a clip of John and Paul doing accents, and Paul is much better at it. There’s so much evidence of Paul being better at it

@@JoaoGabriel-lk9cv nice reply
Muy buen matetial,felicitaciones
JOHNS SINGING IS MAKING ME SHAKE BECAUES IM LAUHGING SO HARD WHAT THE HECL
Incredible footage for this old HUGE Beatles fan to see-thank you Adam! Where in the heck did you dig up this footage? It was really cool to see all of the other famous people hanging around, Donavan, Stones, Nesmith. This was around the same time that the Stones recorded their kind of response to Sgt Peppers-Her satanic majesties request. I could be wrong but I swear I remember hearing some of Johns rambling on here on that Album.
Shame there's no sound, but what a great fun way to record the orchestra, have a party!
This is so cool.....Melotron Madness.
This is fantastic I love hearing all of the Beatles home demos and sessions this is Billy and all the way through.
Thank you for this. I’m amazed this much footage is around. I wish there was sound. I would love to hear what Mike and John wee talking about. Whenever I see someone with a movie camera, I wonder where that film is right now. There could be more film out there.
How did you get ahold of this? Amazing!
I took quite a bit of Acid back then and this reminds me of those times.
At 21:30, The LP being played is "Sunshine Superman" by Donovan. Unavailable in the U.K at the time or recording the Day in The Life overdub
I did a bit of digging and I believe it's a French pressing of the record (basing myself off of the "face 1" on the label).
Simply spectacular footage of a spectacular moment in cultural history. What were they originally planning to use this footage for?
That was pretty much the centre of the universe in 1967.
Pepper and Piper being recorded at the same time, in the same building under psychedelic skies. 🌈
Probably one of the greatest days in history
Wonderful to see! A bit frustrating how the film teams at the time were so disorganized though. It would seem natural to record sync sound at an occasion like this, as well as setting up a couple of master cameras to document the entire event. But then again, these were psychedelic times.
It's amazing there is even footage like this. Was that Geoff Emerick donning the shades and fancy clobber? If so it must have been peak acid that night!
the film teams were the Beatles themselves
love paul bopping around to the music!!!
They all look somber, like they lost someone very close to their hearts? Paul seems active, though, like he's trying to hold it all together.
I think I c Jane A. a couple times
Thank you for posting this high quality video! I’ve seen segments of this footage, but never this much. John said so, but I don’t think Good Morning is a throwaway track at all………Excellent to hear them goofing around, Patti and George look so much in love.
"A splendid time was guaranteed for all...."
at mminute 7.09 is playing the Cumparsita tango!!!!!
Marvellous. The way he weaves what will become Strawberry Fields out of thin air is amazing. He was; and so funny. Who is that stunningly beautiful woman with the perfect Vidal Sasson cut at the end? Anyone know?
The one blowing bubbles? I would like to know too
@noscrubbubblez6515 ,
actually color TV was introduced in retail stores by the late 1950's. [I remember seeing a beautiful new color TV with a round-shaped picture tube in our well to do aunt and uncle's home, in about 1957~1958, where we traveled to Longview Washington from our home in Portland Oregon, for a holiday dinner.
I'm hoping there's more color movie footage that accompanies this short 23 minutes. So with all due respect to Adam to at least release this beautiful sample footage, it would be great to find that there's more, they're going to hand all this footage to Peter Jackson one day, and he'll carefully edit and possibly enhance the sound with the help of Giles Martin, then we'll see another masterpiece documentary film work at least an hour or two in length.
Thanks so much for posting this Adam.
You were way ahead of the UK: we didn’t get colour TV until 1967.
7:08 "LA CUMPARSITA" TANGO DEL URUGUAYO GERARDO MATO RODRIGUEZ,COMPUESTA EN 1917. UN GRANDE LENNON
¡Sí! Qué maravilla
Wow!
these John demos are incredible! i can hardly believe it's all him, where can i find all these?
You just did ;)
Just search johns home demos
Incrível.
❤
4:18 I love this girl blowing bubbles why looking around for anyone to notice her. Haha
That’s Marijke Koger from The Fool design collective.
Paul was a boss and underrated as a cool 60s cat
He was the ‘man ‘ of the 60’s for many. When were you born?
Mk2 was a bit of a tit
The cameras were laying around for anyone to pick up and film.
Federico Fellini would be proud
...in benefit of human race..!❤(from Jujuy,Argentina)
It’s kinda hard to believe
that there’s no sound to these images as they were being filmed but perhaps they’d the only camera they had, a silent film camera…
it’d be great
to hear these casual conversations they’re all having
It would have been great to see footage of Paul, Mal Evans or whomever declaring "I will F*** you like a Superman!" (spun backwards on the closed-loop groove after the song ended). 😀
This is a seismic moment in culture captured on film, when so-called "pop" music became high art and the kids took over the candy store.
Great to see Mick and Keef sprinkling their stardust and magic - you have to raise your game when these two are around!
They hadn't become the greatest rock n roll band in the world yet though, that'd be a year later after getting rid of Jones who held them back badly
Nonsense. The day Brian departed musical innovation went out the window and the Stones resorted to basic blues rock. They made a few good records in that genre but it soon became repetitive and boring.
@@wilhelmhagberg4897 Agree with you. Word for word
Bwahahaha! Get real bro, Stones couldn't hold the Beatles jockstraps.
@@dondamon4669 How exactly did Jones hold them back? He contributed some great moments on the mid 60s songs. Sitar- Paint it Black, Marimba- Under My Thumb, Recorder- Ruby Tuesday, Oboe- Dandelion, etc.
