A piece of The Beatles , The Rolling Stones , Cream , and The Jimi Hendrix Experience. If this wasn't recorded a lot of people probably wouldn't have believed it happened.
I just found about this. I was listening to the album and Lennon’s talking about this to Mick and I’m thinking he’s talking shit, probably high. Eh, here it is.
@@johnnihil1689 I was kidding lol because that's how long it will take for them to die. Actually Paul said Apple is making new version. It's expected to be done by next year. But I'm sure they'll cut out all the controversial stuff and surely what you mentioned if it ever happened. They say John and George got into a fist fight but who knows if it's on camera or not. There's enough footage to make ten films out of it actually
This been on here since the early days, not by this ABKCO-VEVO channel tho. Back in the day it was way easier to get cool recommendations because there were ACTUAL recommendations instead of stuff you have already watched on the right. You could find the coolest things. Like with this you would get Rory Gallagher - Bullfrog Blues (Live) and Jimi Hendrix - Fire (Live at Woodstock) and Lynyrd Skynyrd - Freebird (Live). Last 10-12 years you don't get anything of the sort, and it sucks lol.
John Lennon was an underrated rhythm guitarist with no doubt but is it just me or his live vocals were far more rich,soulful, and emotive than any prerecording could ever capture? His voice was amazing live.
Not seeing Lennon sing live during this period of the Beatles is what we were most robbed of by them not touring. All we got is early Beatles concerts. We missed maybe the greatest rock shows ever. Apparently the Abbey Road rooftop was originally supposed to be the Beatles playing White Album songs in a live televised concert. They should have stuck to that. It would have been amazing.
Lennon was a true genius, this performance is the greatest testament to his phenomenal vocal cords & stage presence! Showcasing him as one of the most iconic rockstars who ever existed. 💜✨

'Yer Blues' (with Jagger and Lennon's introduction) and 'Whole Lotta Yoko' were filmed and are on The Rolling Stones Rock'n'Roll Circus blu ray and dvd. 'Revolution' (and the warm up jam) are audio only extras on the 2019 reissue set. There's a multi camera cut of Yer Blues too, but it's just a four screen version of the same take. PS. Michael Jackson never owned the rights to Let It Be, it was The Beatles publishing rights he bought (now controlled by Sony). I actually think the surviving members don't want it re-issued because it doesn't show The Beatles in a particularly good light.
That would have been nice but John was still in The Beatles, Eric just split up with Cream a month earlier ,Keith was still a member of The Stones and Mitch was still a member of the Jimi Hendrix Experience.That would have caused contractual problems with their record companies.
@@MichaelLantz Mitchell wasnt with Hendrix, this happened in December of 69, the experience broke up in june of 69 therefore mitchell was with hendrix for a little while as hendrix was doing his own thing.

Yes!!!!!!! Best comment!!!!! And for the people in the comments that were asking about this comment, it's from the first back to the future movie. It's a great scene
People today don’t realize Lennon was the actual king of rock’ roll. He was the one people followed, the press was fascinated by, the one other guys wanted to play with, the one doing an entire week on a talk show, giving one of the great Playboy interviews, preaching peace and love. And by remaining a bit aloof and not needing the rock ‘n’ roll lifestyle and the adulation and even walking away for a while it made him more legendary. There’s a reason 40 years after his death thousands of people still gather in Central Park each year. He’s still the only celebrity death that I remember exactly where I was and what I was doing when I heard.
@@jefffawcett And it carries till today! Bona fide start like Phil Collins, Steve Lukather, Dave Grohl and so on strangely shrink when paired any of the surviving Beatles.
@@roycemoltisanti1469they showed this on PBS in the U.S. recently during a fundraising show. They also showed another song with Yoko yelling into a microphone.❤
"But I am of the Universe, and you know what its worth" is a meaningless reference to New Age religion. Yer Blues is the worst Beatle song I ever heard, and I don't care who plays it.
@@cruzgonzalez8326 This is like alternative rock before alternative was a thing. Anxiety in John's vocals, simple yet very stressed rhythm, abstract lyrics, time signature changes and breaks outta nowhere, etc.
3:28 to 3:50 is pure Rock n Roll magic: from that epic shot of Clapton, Lennon and Richards' feet tapping in unison, to Mitch missing the queue for the hard stop while Lennon laughs and Richards shrugs his shoulders to Lennon tuning a string while still singing and playing the song.
You can think of it as Mitch screwing the arrangement. For me it sounds like it was okey arrangement but Keith rushed the note and screwed the execution.
@@lous8619 I agree, ringo was a perfectionist type technician drummer he was always right on point to whatever he was doing never ever over doing it or falling short of what was needed. He was a professional musician not a banger or show off. Just did his role without flaw
"Yer Blues" for any other group, other than the Beatles, would probably been considered a great hit. The Beatles had such a vast catalogue of awesome songs, this one, seems to get overlooked as a classic.
The Beatles? Thats some of The Rolling Stones...The Jimi Hendrix Experience....Cream/Derek & the Dominos,AND The Beatles You cant be very old to make that statement. If you're over 30 im surprised
This is an absolute classic angsty rock/blues number. All four musos were on song. Mitch Mitchell was a legend of a drummer. Keith on bass was rock solid. Eric on lead, what can you say. Signature styling and added so much to the song. And of course, John. This guy's musical brain is second to none. His voice. The emotion. The rhythm guitar - superb. I reckon he really loved this gig. He was always such a great performer.
WHAT A GIG! Lennon could tear up a vocal chord and keep singing. 1:59 John goes into a whole sacred level of singing and Clapton just smiles like "My GOD he is good"
Clapton: "Geez, I'm playing with Lennon, Richards and Mitchell! Richards: "Geez, I'm playing with Lennon, Clapton and Mitchell! Mitchell: "Geez, I'm playing with Lennon, Clapton and Richards! Lennon: "Geez, I'm playing without the Beatles! Beatles: "Geez, John Is playing without Us! Wyman: "Geez, they could've asked me for the bass spot!
Lennon what can you say- he just had that aura about him that no other musician had or has had since. He seemed to have a prescience that all others unbeknowingly bowed to. He was just above all others
In high skool as a insolent punker,metal fucker....a hippy kid wore a john lennon tee shirt....i sneered.....in time i have utmost respect for John Lennon.....i heard the radio unfriendly music.....and thats what i love....raw and true.
Um Cara Qualquer How romantic of John Lennon to forget the lyrics twice! of his paean to his obnoxious and untalented girl friend, Yoko Ono, during the sloppy Apple Studios rooftop concert on January 30,1969. One of those performances was originally included in the "Let It Be" film, with the flubbed lyrics, for all to see. The people who mixed the "Let It Be...Naked" version of "Don't Let Me Down", had to combine two performances on the rooftop gig to make one whole version without the Lennon flubbing of the lyrics at different parts of the song. I've never understood why Producer Phil Spector didn't include the studio "B" Side version of "Don't Let Me Down" on the original "Let It Be" album but included the dreadful throwaways "Dig A Pony" and "Dig It"!!!
@@albertoruiz-dm1de listen to the guitars on the studio recordings of “Sympathy For The Devil” and “Gimme Shelter”. Both were recorded when Brian Jones was out of it and Mick T had not yet joined. It’s all Keith.

John Lennon was a soulful White man, and an unbelievable Rock n Roll frontman. Could sing a range of genres, one of the true greats. Not an artist today can compare to his complete act
@@robertcooney1938now blues is played by any suburban kid from a nice home whose mom bought them a guitar and they usually hate modern black music but love old black blues 😂🤨
This is the best live vocal performance of all time as far as my ears can tell. How the fuck does he not completely shred his vocal chords here? Pure fucking magic.
Woa - Beatles, Stones, Cream and Hendrix all on the same stage at once. And you can hear all 4 bands playing in this rendition. Once in an era, would have given a lot to be there.
John could really rock it out when he felt like it. Not only did he sing and write the songs he also played rhythm and lead himself. He makes the rhythm the lead at times. And the little riffs he puts on choruses and such are pure genius.
Jackson Winkleson no doubt. Probably the best riff guitarist of all time. But nobody, even Keith, is going to tell John to not play his guitar during his own song.
What a band, man, three of the best rock guitarists and one of the best rock drummers and they all just kill it here, not to mention that vocal intensity from John which is just as stellar
Vintage brilliance, what a feeling to hear it all again. It was a raw Clapton at his very best, Keith Richards excellent Rythmn guitar playing John Lennons magnetic frontman Presence and guitar playing. Mitch Mitchell a sensational drummer. Thank you for this ❤
When you put The Beatles, Cream, the Jimi Hendrix Experience and the Rolling Stones in a blender, you end up with such a raw, smooth and unforgettable performance. I wish these guys could have cut an album. What we witness here are four great artists at the very top of their game performing.

John lennon, just forever the coolest guy in a room full of the coolest people. Absolutely NOTHING to prove.
People today don’t realize Lennon was the actual king of rock’ roll. He was the one people followed, the press was fascinated by, the one other guys wanted to play with, the one doing an entire week on a talk show, giving one of the great Playboy interviews, preaching peace and love. And by remaining a bit aloof and not needing the rock ‘n’ roll lifestyle and the adulation and even walking away for a while it made him more legendary. There’s a reason 40 years after his death thousands of people still gather in Central Park each year. He’s still the only celebrity death that I remember exactly where I was and what I was doing when I heard.

Only Mr. Lennon could do something like this. He took blues to a different dimension here. A real blues-rock, clever and soulful at the same time...
He was mocking blues songwriting but I do agree that he took it to something else plus the sarcasm in the lyrics make it even better to me
to a different dimension? what do you mean?
"But I am of the Universe, and you know what its worth" is a meaningless reference to New Age religion.
Yer Blues is the worst Beatle song I ever heard, and I don't care who plays it.
Because he doesn't have one. Neither do you.
@@cruzgonzalez8326 This is like alternative rock before alternative was a thing.

3:28 to 3:50 is pure Rock n Roll magic: from that epic shot of Clapton, Lennon and Richards' feet tapping in unison, to Mitch missing the queue for the hard stop while Lennon laughs and Richards shrugs his shoulders to Lennon tuning a string while still singing and playing the song.
So great so great ....mistakes are made ...love it ...not this packaged crap put out today
You can think of it as Mitch screwing the arrangement. For me it sounds like it was okey arrangement but Keith rushed the note and screwed the execution.
Ringo was much better than people like to give him credit for. Rock solid drummer.
Hahaha, yep. Doesn't get much better.
@@lous8619 I agree, ringo was a perfectionist type technician drummer he was always right on point to whatever he was doing never ever over doing it or falling short of what was needed. He was a professional musician not a banger or show off. Just did his role without flaw
oh my what fire line up. i wish they did a full blues rock album it would have been glorious.
"Yer Blues" for any other group, other than the Beatles, would probably been considered a great hit.
The Beatles had such a vast catalogue of awesome songs, this one, seems to get overlooked as a classic.

@@donjonsen5295 you absolute dumbfuck. hahaha. listen to the white album bitch.
This is an absolute classic angsty rock/blues number. All four musos were on song. Mitch Mitchell was a legend of a drummer. Keith on bass was rock solid. Eric on lead, what can you say. Signature styling and added so much to the song. And of course, John. This guy's musical brain is second to none. His voice. The emotion. The rhythm guitar - superb. I reckon he really loved this gig. He was always such a great performer.
He generally looks like he didn't expect Lennon to be so true to the blues soul
WHAT A GIG! Lennon could tear up a vocal chord and keep singing. 1:59 John goes into a whole sacred level of singing and Clapton just smiles like "My GOD he is good"
Wow talent on talent. The truly the definition of a supergroup.
John's voice is screaming like a Gretsch guitar with distortion, so powerful🔥🔥🔥
well said!
greatest live rock singer ever
Such a shame he didn't use it much after this, and turned to ballads instead
Clapton: "Geez, I'm playing with Lennon, Richards and Mitchell!
Richards: "Geez, I'm playing with Lennon, Clapton and Mitchell!
Mitchell: "Geez, I'm playing with Lennon, Clapton and Richards!
Lennon: "Geez, I'm playing without the Beatles!
Beatles: "Geez, John Is playing without Us!
Wyman: "Geez, they could've asked me for the bass spot!
Richards: "I'm glad to be an afterthought with these other three".
Clapton:”geez, i’m playing Guitar
John Entwistle: "Damn it, I knew I shouldn't have gone to the bathroom."
Keith Moon: "Hold my beer."
Yoko- "geez, john didn't invite me to scream like a freak in this performance"
Lennon what can you say- he just had that aura about him that no other musician had or has had since. He seemed to have a prescience that all others unbeknowingly bowed to. He was just above all others
The Alpha of rock!!!
Totally agree,nobody comes anywhere near him.
prescience or presence ? they are different

Sergio Balaguera John Lennon simply went mad!!! This no talent witch now has all his wealth!!!
Um Cara Qualquer How romantic of John Lennon to forget the lyrics twice! of his paean to his obnoxious and untalented girl friend, Yoko Ono, during the sloppy Apple Studios rooftop concert on January 30,1969. One of those performances was originally included in the "Let It Be" film, with the flubbed lyrics, for all to see. The people who mixed the "Let It Be...Naked" version of "Don't Let Me Down", had to combine two performances on the rooftop gig to make one whole version without the Lennon flubbing of the lyrics at different parts of the song. I've never understood why Producer Phil Spector didn't include the studio "B" Side version of "Don't Let Me Down" on the original "Let It Be" album but included the dreadful throwaways "Dig A Pony" and "Dig It"!!!
@@raulmacias1311 I like Dig a Pony.
The fact that keef played bass shows how much he wanted to be in a band with John. The affect that a beatle has on people I guess.
He loves playing bass, too. Checkout Jumpin jack, Sympathy, Live with me and on
But he's Mick's Soulmate just Like Lennon and McCartney
Not just any Beatle... John Lennon
I beg to differ:
I believe that's Bill Wyman on bass.
@@tuxguys That's Keith
Keith Richards is fantastic on bass! Love his groove.

This is the best live vocal performance of all time as far as my ears can tell. How the fuck does he not completely shred his vocal chords here? Pure fucking magic.
Woa - Beatles, Stones, Cream and Hendrix all on the same stage at once. And you can hear all 4 bands playing in this rendition. Once in an era, would have given a lot to be there.
John could really rock it out when he felt like it. Not only did he sing and write the songs he also played rhythm and lead himself. He makes the rhythm the lead at times. And the little riffs he puts on choruses and such are pure genius.
What a lineup. A pantheon of rock royalty right there. If you know you know..
You know you got a killer lineup when Keith has to resort to the bass. Lol.
We’ve seen this before, but the quality of this video is insane!
Keith is a better guitarist than John was.
@@Y0utubeIsFuckingHomo john never was the lead...😕
Jackson Winkleson no doubt. Probably the best riff guitarist of all time.
But nobody, even Keith, is going to tell John to not play his guitar during his own song.
Guitar players:
Clapton > Richards > Harrison > Lennon
Real talk
What a band, man, three of the best rock guitarists and one of the best rock drummers and they all just kill it here, not to mention that vocal intensity from John which is just as stellar
John: IM LONELY. I WANNA DIE.
Yoko: *good song john.*
A witty remark.
He actually wrote this when he was with Cynthia
Vintage brilliance, what a feeling to hear it all again. It was a raw Clapton at his very best, Keith Richards excellent Rythmn guitar playing John Lennons magnetic frontman Presence and guitar playing. Mitch Mitchell a sensational drummer. Thank you for this ❤

When you put The Beatles, Cream, the Jimi Hendrix Experience and the Rolling Stones in a blender, you end up with such a raw, smooth and unforgettable performance. I wish these guys could have cut an album. What we witness here are four great artists at the very top of their game performing.
