    This is my reconstruction of the filmed session for the Strawberry Fields Forever promotional video. I've combined footage from the official video, a source from Revolver TV, and two other DVD sources to piece together all that I could find from this video shoot. I am sure there is a lot more out there which we have yet to see, but hopefully this will still be enjoyable :)

    Glad you used the "Different" source from RR (It was an inside joke directed to those who complained about their logos in their source).I can't imagine what other goodies they had, great editing and an added plus for the link for the full version! Hoping to see Penny Lane footage outtakes with the scuba diver scene.

      There was this youtube channel called Revolver Records (named after the music store). They uploaded loads of rare music, previously un-bootlegged material. They debut part of the "lost/erased" footage of John Lennon making a music video in 1980. Eventually the channel was shut down. Their music collection was insane, didn't always contained Rock n Roll, also lost TV episodes, movie outtakes etc.

      Years ago I could only find a grainy version of this video so I always thought it was John up in the tree because of that line in the song. When the better-quality video was released I was surprised to see that it was Paul. I really wonder why.

    • @DiegoRodriguez-dw7pv

      John wrote that line because he felt lonely as a child. Paul literally being in his tree makes it specially heartwarming.

    Amazing, Adam! I've admired all the work you've done reconstructing footage of The Beatles and have been inspired to do similar work to other footage of The Beatles and The Beach Boys. A couple months ago I nearly completed reconstructing all the footage of the "A Day in the Life" session on February 10th 1967, but sequencing the footage has become a slight challenge. Let me know if you'd be interested in collaborating on tackling this footage or any other projects in the future!

      @@JFFM730 I imagine they were recorded without audio as that would require more technical set up and cost than was necessary. They probably never intended on using audio from the Strawberry Fields shoot in the music video, just the song, so I'd be surprised if there was audio of it or the Paperback Writer video shoot. Would be cool though!

    • @SuperNevile
      @SuperNevile Рік тому +2

      A half sharp major (near to B flat) actually. There was some adjusting of the speeds of the two different versions (band only and band + orchestra which were recorded in slightly different keys) that had to be spliced together to please John. Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds was mixed in a higher key than recorded because if made John sound more youthful.

    • @eldiablo8580
      @eldiablo8580 Рік тому +2

      Sorry but that is simply not true. The part about the golf course is true but the tree itself is not standing anymore. It was cut down after parts of it fell down during a severe storm many years ago now. You have to remember, this was filmed over 56 years ago and the tree was already dead. Check out Tudor Smith's videos where he tries to hunt down the tree for Beatle fanatics everywhere. He eventually does locate the stump with the road running behind it cutting through the now golf course.

      Interesting, I've visited Lennon's childhood house in Liverpool. Across the street is a golf course - Allerton (built in 1924) - and down the street about a mile is Strawberry Fields. Some reports say that John and Paul would walk through the course to each others houses and were even known to hit a ball or two.

    The Beatles should've put out an EP instead of a Single before Pepper came out. An Acoustic Version of Strawberry Fields Forever plus When I'm 64, Within You Without You and Being For The Benefit Of Mr. Kite. Then put Strawberry Fields Forever on the End of Side 1and Start Side 2 with Penny Lane and then Only A Northern Song.

      Maybe not at first glance but If you study them, they are some of the best ones John ever wrote. Strawberry field was a childrens home with a garden where John often went to play as a child. It’s said that he could look into the garden from a tree in his own backyard. The song is as he described it himself; “a psychoanalysis set to music”. The whole part of “no one I think is in my tree” was about the feelings John had ever since he was a child, that he was different from everybody else. “Am I crazy or am I a genius” as he explained it. It must be high or low. The song is sung mostly from a child’s perspective, that’s (probably) why the lyrics are written as they are “I think a no, I mean a yes, but it’s all wrong” etc. imagine as a child how your viewpoint or opinion on things wasn’t and didn’t have to be that clear. “Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see” as a child, your eyes are not “open” to the world yet. You’re not viewing the world in the same way as an adult. And then, getting older and growing up “it’s getting hard to be someone but it all works out, it doesn’t matter much to me”.
      When John wrote the song he had lost himself a little bit, he took a lot of LSD and although it changed him for the better in some ways (made him less violent and angry) it also made him insecure about himself which he then used and wrote strawberry fields forever, at that time he had probably not spent near as much time on writing lyrics ever before.
