Peter Jackson's technically brilliant and emotionally authentic exhaustive / definitive summation of the unique musical and cultural creative partnership that was Lennon and McCartney is so joyful and satisfying for all of us who were on that ride. The McCartney interview)s) with Rick Rubin - McCartney 3,2,1 - totally compliment Jackson's redemptive narrative. Resolution at last. And that their work prepared us all for the next great musical force - Jimi Hendrix. Tomorrow Never Knows ( August 1966 ) takes us to Are You Experienced ( May 1967 ) - what a time.
12:18: The statement that Maureen wasn’t present is incorrect. At the end of the Get Back encore, Paul says ‘thanks Mo’ in response to her joyful cheers.
Great discussion and nicely produced! I'm Gen X and was born a few years after The Beatles broke up, but became a fan in the nineties. Until quite recently, I used to think millennials, let alone Gen Z would not appreciate them, but great to see that here! Also, very good knowledge on the subject, I'm subscribed 😊
Paul chooses songs these days based on what he can still sing. Not all of them, obviously, some songs are too big for him not to sing… but bless him, it’s good to hear anything.
The Let It Be album is sorely underrated. Yes, the songs aren't as sorted as The Beatles or Abbey Road but the cinema verite sound of the album (depsite the reverb overproduction trying to spakfilla over poor takes & PS not being at his best) really suits their intention for the project - back-to-roots honesty. Compare it to a near contemporary album & film - The Monkees' 'Head'. Compiled by Jack Nicholson, it's also a cinema verite exercise in production. After the production excesses of the 'Summer of Love' this approach was a direct response to the polished output of that period. A very good song analysis, Gentlemen.
There was some John-Paul lyric collaboration on the song Get Back, you can actually see it happen in the Documentary! Granted the song about 98% is McCartney but they do work together on the lyrics of Get Back. George’s guitar work on I’ve Got A Feeling also really drives the song to another level.
In December of 1968, the Jefferson Airplane gave their famous (infamous?) illegal live rooftop performance of “The House at Pooneil Corners.” How much of an influence was this on the Beatles’ choice of a rooftop performance?
Correct me if l'm wrong but a think this is the only song where two songwriters are singing their own respective, independently written songs simultaneously to the same music. Any other examples?
"No Sugar Tonight/New Mother Nature" by The Guess Who from the "American Woman" album in 1970. Although the music did change between the two sections within the song. Randy Bachman wrote No Sugar and Burton Cummings wrote New Mother Nature. In similar fashion to I've Got a Feeling, they sang each song back to back, and then over top of each other. Side note: i believe the single "American Woman" bumped the beatles last number one single(in North America), The Long and Winding Road off the top spot in the singles chart during the spring of 1970 to give the Winnipeg born Guess Who their biggest hit of there career! 🎵🎶
@@bigj4905 Thanks for the reply! l listened to the song you mentioned and indeed there seems to be an overlap of singers for some 15 seconds or so (just like in l've Got A Feeling). 👍🏻
“Watching Rainbows” was written a week or so after “I’ve Got A Feeling” so it was likely John being inspired by that song. Perhaps we should have mentioned it yeah 😊
Regards the Let It Be... Naked production... I prefer the George Martin produced Don't Let Me Down (Get Back beside) and Phil Spector Let It Be, especially the rocky guitar solo. I also like the banter on the original Let It Be as it gives a bit of atmosphere. The omission of Don't Let Me Down from the album was a major mistake.
@@johnp515The Get Back single and b-side Don't Let Me Down are officially credited to Glyn Johns and George Martin. But notwithstanding, that's my favourite version of Don't Let Me Down.
Absolute nonsense. It’s the passionate singing and harmonies and a band, tight and in sync that everyone remembers. They didn’t need Preston to sound great.
David’s instrument is keyboards. He is an excellent all-around teacher of music theory, and his “David Bennett Piano” teaching posts are always informative. He is a remarkably clear and effective teacher. Sorry that you don’t like his guitar playing. It isn’t his instrument.
Another great walk down memory lane for us old guys. Thanks

David Bennett is such a good musician. I his piano channel, and it's great to see him playing guitar too.
Thanks Donnie, you've got a new subscriber.
Great episode lads
Thanks!

I think that statement was more about the sessions rather than just the rooftop performance.
This has always been one of my favorite Beatle songs. I love Paul's amazing vocal on this. And John's contribution complements the song so well.

I’ve played this song live at least 1000 times and it never gets old
That was very enjoyable, two very lovely guests and you are a gracious host Kinsey.
I've got a feeling is a classic song for any other band.
Exactly, and a way below average Beatles song

Billy Preston's contributions can never be underestimated...

For The Beatles a below average song, for any other band it would be a classic

billy Preston was on tour with Ray Charles not Little Richard
Musically it's similar to watching rainbows a demo John had about that time.
"Watching Rainbows" was written after "I've Got A Feeling" so it was likely inspired by it

Good point! 😊😮

They did still collaborate two of us is about their partnership
Paul wrote it about Linda.
No mention of "Watching Rainbows"?

George Martin didn’t produce any version of Get Back or Don’t Let Me Down

Billy Preston saved the rooftop concert from being a bit ordinary.
So much respect - they ( esp Lennon ) really had to get their sh!t together. And they did.
Absolute nonsense. It’s the passionate singing and harmonies and a band, tight and in sync that everyone remembers. They didn’t need Preston to sound great.
Clearly the guitar is not your instrument 😅 you have no idea how to play it properly and with the right rhythm but thx anyway 😊
David’s instrument is keyboards. He is an excellent all-around teacher of music theory, and his “David Bennett Piano” teaching posts are always informative. He is a remarkably clear and effective teacher. Sorry that you don’t like his guitar playing. It isn’t his instrument.
Chill out, piano is his thing anyway but it was good enough to demonstrate the point.
Unless you can perform it better than him, please save us all the time and stop talking.
A blues riff? I didn't know A major and D major chords constitute a blues riff. 😅
That guitar riff is very wrong.
"I've Got a Feeling" is in no way, shape, or form, a "Blues." It's Blues inspired, it's Blues Rock, but it's not Blues. Thank you for your support.
No one supports you
