Are you sure George played the bass? It sounds Mccarney-ish, plus sounds like a hollowbody bass guitar not a solidbody (not aware of them having a right-handed hollowbody bass at that time)
@@P0LGARIS George is playing on a distorted Fender IV Bass (a six string bass). you can hear it in the other tracks, you can slightly hear the bass, the piano and the guitar in the drums track, which shows that everything was recorded "live"
Also, harmony aahs and ooos are three part. McCartney during both bridges, double tracked. I doubt Lennon played anything on this. Just one of three harmonies.
I am one of those guys,,,,yet his drumming is incredible here,,,,, I really think he is no good now cause he doesnt practice and always has another drummer when playing live
@@robertstone1409 it was pertaining to having to use a click track in the 90's when recording Free As A Bird. They had to use a click in order to get John Lennon's demo tape in perfect time; so they could overdub. Ringo seemed to resent this.
All these deconstructed im amazed at the timing issues, the mistakes, they just churned shit out as soon as they had something half ready, and your right, Ringo hauled the timing back in every time. Respect
My God what an incredible voice Paul McCartney had back then! Simply amazing. In baseball, they have what is called a "Five Tool Player". They are extremely rare. Willie Mays was one. So was Mickey Mantle. A five tool player is a player that can hit for average, hit with power, field the ball, has a strong throwing arm, and is a fast, smart baserunner. Paul McCartney is a five-tool rock star. He can sing ballads beautifully, he can scream rock & roll like Elvis, he is a multi-instrumentalist, Is the greatest songwriter ever, and had the rock star good looks. The man was born to be an entertainer. Pure & simple! He is a once in a lifetime musical gift, and I'm so glad that I got to see & hear his incredible talents in my era. We should all be happy about that because look at the direction music has taken. I don't know about all of you, but in my opinion, music basically sucks these days! There will never be a talent like Paul McCartney again. There will never be another John Lennon, George Harrison or Ringo Starr. Thank God they all lived in the same seaport city of Liverpool, England. Thank God they all found each other and decided to become brothers to one another. Thank God they knew exactly how to blend each others amazing musical gifts. And finally, thank you God for giving us the Beatles!
I don’t disagree, a lot (ok most) modern bands stink. But that might be a function of a much higher standard of living we have now compared with post war England when the Beatles grew up. They didn’t have much. But they did have time. Time to listen on the radio, time to learn their instruments, time to compose & time to develop into a proper ensemble and performers (Germany gave them that). If modern bands devoted as much time to their craft as the Beatles and many other groups of the 1950s/60s did, the music today would be noticeably better.
Paul Sullivan- your comment above is one the best descriptions of Paul McCartney's overall talent as a once in a lifetime gift to the world I have ever read. The five-tool analogy is perfect! Thanks for that.
Yes, you are so right, but I think there were more fortunate circumstances, e.g. one must not forget George Martin who was able to implement their ideas, the good studio engineers who were willing to experiment, moreover the special "spirit" of the 60s plus London with its culture, their acquaintances with people who inspired and encouraged them. It was all so perfect and all at the right time and it will not happen again.
with all of those fills? Paul may could play drums, but he's no drummer and has no technical abilities of a drummer which Ringo have. Just compare this with Back In The USSR and Dear Prudence. His rhythms on the hi- hat are steady but sloppy. But not in this one. In this one, the rhythms are steady, solid, and consistent. And the fill has the playing style of Ringo.
Wow, George and John are great, but this musical miracle is all about Paul and Ringo! Ringo has the most beautiful FEEL for the music and his sticks of any drummer ever.
@@aleksandregogolashvili6497 I always thought The Beatles had exceptional vocals. In the early days it's what set them apart from all the other bands. I also thought The Beach Boys had exceptional vocals and were even better than The Beatles with the backgroud "Oohs" and "Aahs." Since I've been listening to some of the isolated vocal tracks of both bands, I have to say The Beatles were right up there with The Beach Boys.
But Paul's piano here! It's heavy, dripping with angst and *feeling* It makes you experience something that is totally visceral and almost *too* much to bear. Superb. Not to mention the immaculate vocals that are violently ripped from Paul's soul. This is what music is supposed to be about - a perfect expression of what it is to be human and experience all the raw emotions that must accompany that phenomena. ETA: Ringo is a f^cking machine gun on this track and this vid deserves way more views and likes!
Pure genius the whole bloody track! Off the charts. After hearing this song and The Beatles body of work countless times over the years I'm still unpacking the the greatness of these 4 lads!
Paul's greatest vocal performance of all time. (And that is saying something...because this one had lots of brilliant vocals to compete against). Definitely one of his highlights.
Agree at it being #1. But he had some others right there next to it. He could do it all, from soft sweet melodic singing (Hey Jude, And I Love Her, Yesterday, I Will), to screaming ("Oh Darling", "Monkberry Moon Delight") to that soaring high falsetto ("Twist And Shout" and "Hey Jude"). He is unquestionably the best vocalist in rock music-- ever.
@@celosemnexo There are two moments where it's only a fraction off tempo and it's only noticeable when isolated. Other than that, it's a great bit of bass that.
George was a phenomenal bass player. I always thought it was Paul on this one, and perhaps he did instruct George - but the performance is so tasty & groovy.
@@chrisledrew5091check the super deluxe of abbey road, alternate take of oh darling has Paul on piano, yet the bass is going, means George was on it because these are rhythm tracks
I love how they put a ton of echo on Ringo's drums when it's called for, on Come Together the drums are so dry, they always knew how to create the correct sound for the song.
you are all wrong. it is lennon on drums. billy preston on lead guitar actually. ringo is singing it in his mccartney imitation voice. harrison on piano. mccartney was not at the session.
It's easy to hear the mistakes on piano, bass and drums in this vacuum, but remember, it's the sum of the whole that made the Beatles great. A few botched notes never made a great song bad.
Ringo fits to a T in the Beatles, all of them have their uncanny abilities that blended very well to the fabulous four's revolution of music here on earth. How fortunate we are to have them. 💜💛💚🧡
You know many people complain about the Beatles breaking up but when you think about it so few bands can even make it 10 years.. yet alone have so many hits. I know through most of the years they were together they had to be as impressed with each other as we all are. I guess there just came a point where they could not even outdo themselves anymore and it was time to move on. But even with there being some animosity at times they knew how good they had it being together. The magic and talent is obvious.
Such a brilliant lead vocal. Jesus, whatta powerhouse vocalist Paul was. WOW. Never realized the bridge was double tracked. Makes sense but still just the coolest.
@@alastairbishop2450I thought perhaps ADT was used, as it would have been easier, but I noticed the “whoooo” was single tracked, which shows there were two vocal tracks, plus you can hear Paul almost flub a lyric - he says “bell down” because he almost said “broke down” but it’s correct on the toppernost vocal.
Lester Paul Well I haven’t read that, but it is well known that he went in early every morning for a week before he was happy. It’s said that he complained that he used to be able to knock it out the park straight away, but that’s when they were touring all the time and his voice was naturally ‘warmed up.’
If you record the voice as soon as you wake up, you'll have this result. I remember that I did this during the recording of the cover on a David Bowie's song... Voice sounds rougher.
I've always loved those rolls Ringo does @1:03 and 2:09 and also how he subtly opens the hi-hat on the 1. George is noticeably behind the beat especially at 4:52 as if he's unsure where the note is. He's out of tune, too and plays the wrong note at 6:02. That said, The Beatles will forever be The Greatest F%#@ Band In The Whole World. Always. And there will NEVER be another like them.
Definitely out of tune bass on one of the strings. Also not on time in places. Maybe Paul didn't want to argue with him about it specially when these mistakes are not obvious in the mix.
I can’t think of another band where the members played so many different instruments and even played another’s primary instrument in recordings (e.g., George playing bass).
Just listening to these amazing harmonies. If you go back to the early Beatles and any harmonizing was crazy good. Their voices were meant to be together.
Interesting how many notes George actually missed on the bass. Cool sound though with a bit of distortion/overdrive. Macca's vocal on this iconic song is unsurpassed in rock and roll, IMO.
Yeah, I wonder how many takes they gave him for this one to be the best. I would have wanted to do it again. At least fix the mistakes. But, I never heard the errors in the final mix down. I guess they knew no one would.
George's mistakes never stood out in the track, I always thought it sounded pretty good! As for Macca.... the man suffered for our benefit as he surely can't sing like this anymore, lol. RIP Paul's vocal cords, you served the world well for over 50 years
Listening to the vocals isolated here some of the background lines, and harmonies, sound more than a little like those on "Because." I like hearing this isolation.
Am I the only one who would of loved The Beatles to have done a whole album with this lineup: John on Guitar Paul on Keys George on Bass Ringo on Drums Would of loved to seen what guitar parts John would of came up with, having to play all of the guitar on the album without George for a change. The rare occasions where John has played all the guitar parts or lead guitar on Beatles songs, they have always been so great. He is way better than people give him credit for. Also would of loved to seen what bass lines George would come up with. If he was this surprisingly good on bass, after barely even playing the damn thing, imagine what he could come up with if he spent the whole recording of an album playing and focusing on the instrument. No one can come close to Paul's bass playing but I'm sure we would of gotten some really great basslines out of George.
Cada pista de cada instrumento es perféctamente ejecutado por los 4 Beatles, la voz de Maccartney aqui realmente se roba la canción...magnifica!!..y los coros de Lennon y Harrison perfectos, como siempre se destacaron...trabajo de equipo total!!
Cuanto hubieso querido es u har la cancion oh dRling en la voz del maestro john lennon paul tambien lo hace perfectamente con una voz maravillosa eleva su voz buena
According to the booklet for the 2021 re-release of the newly mixed Abbey Road, it’s actually JOHN on bass using the Fender Bass VI. If you listen to that augmented chord that brings the verses in, you can hear John hit a high E harmonic on the high E string at the 12th fret. George is on Guitar here using his Les Paul. The very last quirky notes of an A arpeggio plucked at the end of the song are played by playing an A bar chord and plucking the strings BEHIND the bridge and saddles. John’s Epiphone Casino had a trapeze tail piece, making it impossible to achieve an arpeggio that sounds like that.
Paul's Casino has a bigsby tail piece which is how the arpeggio was created. I used to have a 68 Casino with a bigsby in 69 and the first time I heard this song in 70 I was blown away because I knew immediately how they got that sound. I suspect Paul played the guitar on this song.
Paul McCartney is the finest musician of the 21st century. It's almost like there's nothing he can't do. Give him an instrument and he will play it like no other. Give him a sheet of paper and he will write incredible lyrics. Give him a microphone and he'll belt out some of the most explosive vocals you've ever heard. The guy is a phenom.
I’ve just synced up all the instrumental lines on my DAW, and want to add the BVs myself ( As they’re not isolated from Paul’s lead vocal) , so I can use it as a backing track for when I perform it live. I am amazed that the BVs are different on each verse! I was going to do my own track from scratch playing everything myself, but this is too good an opportunity to miss. Fabulous work by Paul, John and George! 👍
@@pieta9097 Has the double bass drum ever been used in any track? It seems that a double bass drum was used in Good Morning Good Morning but that was 1967 and this picture you claim is October of 1968.
@@ramirreyes6414 the only track I can think that would use it would be revolution, but that part is possible with a single kick, it’s just a little harder
@@Thorin-MattfromGO The Beatles did perform Revolution semi-live and there was only one bass-drum there. I heard an isolated drum part of Revolution and its done with a single-kick, just rapidly. I tried to play it too but I'm not as steady as Ringo and I have a bad pedal.
mi canción favorita de todas, la primera vez que escuché el vocal de Paul aquí casi salgo corriendo por todos lados, no soy dramática, de ninguna manera!!! Para ser el momento justo en cuanto me enamoré de Paul McCartney fue poco!!!
Si, es cierto lo bien que canta Paul en este tema ... no sé si lo sabés, pero John estuvo celoso de no poder cantarla él mismo.Creia que su voz le podía sentar mejor a ésta canción... sucede que a esa altura de la trayectoria de los Beatles, el que componía la canción la cantaba, así nomas, y eso no se discutía

I've always loved those rolls Ringo does @1:03 and 2:09 and also how he subtly opens the hi-hat on the 1. George is noticeably behind the beat especially at 4:52 as if he's unsure where the note is. He's out of tune, too and plays the wrong note at 6:02.
That said, The Beatles will forever be The Greatest F%#@ Band In The Whole World. Always. And there will NEVER be another like them.
Definitely out of tune bass on one of the strings. Also not on time in places. Maybe Paul didn't want to argue with him about it specially when these mistakes are not obvious in the mix.
George did amazing on bass! For the longest time I thought it was just another great line by Paul.
Ringo’s time and groove is so good it’s like falling into a portal
I can’t think of another band where the members played so many different instruments and even played another’s primary instrument in recordings (e.g., George playing bass).
Just listening to these amazing harmonies. If you go back to the early Beatles and any harmonizing was crazy good. Their voices were meant to be together.
Ringo is a human metronome. And that kick drum tone is gorgeous. And that little kiss of verb on the snare: perfection.
the whole song is a godamnn killer track! Fantast vocals By Paul !
John's guitar is fantastic.
Amazing drumming. Just brilliant ❤. An album track that would have made a career for any band. And those vocals 😮
Interesting how many notes George actually missed on the bass. Cool sound though with a bit of distortion/overdrive. Macca's vocal on this iconic song is unsurpassed in rock and roll, IMO.
agree!!!
Yeah, I wonder how many takes they gave him for this one to be the best. I would have wanted to do it again. At least fix the mistakes. But, I never heard the errors in the final mix down. I guess they knew no one would.
George's mistakes never stood out in the track, I always thought it sounded pretty good! As for Macca.... the man suffered for our benefit as he surely can't sing like this anymore, lol. RIP Paul's vocal cords, you served the world well for over 50 years
@@thesilvershining love the last part about Paul’s vocal chords! 😂 yes they’ve served us well.
That's Paul on bass.
THANKS, A LOT! GOD BLESS YOU FOREVER! I LOVE YOU, TOU´VE MADE ME SO VERY HAPPY
ringo. oh my god ringo.
Listening to the vocals isolated here some of the background lines, and harmonies, sound more than a little like those on "Because." I like hearing this isolation.
Wonderful drum sound!!
Am I the only one who would of loved The Beatles to have done a whole album with this lineup:
John on Guitar
Paul on Keys
George on Bass
Ringo on Drums
Would of loved to seen what guitar parts John would of came up with, having to play all of the guitar on the album without George for a change. The rare occasions where John has played all the guitar parts or lead guitar on Beatles songs, they have always been so great. He is way better than people give him credit for. Also would of loved to seen what bass lines George would come up with. If he was this surprisingly good on bass, after barely even playing the damn thing, imagine what he could come up with if he spent the whole recording of an album playing and focusing on the instrument. No one can come close to Paul's bass playing but I'm sure we would of gotten some really great basslines out of George.
Cada pista de cada instrumento es perféctamente ejecutado por los 4 Beatles, la voz de Maccartney aqui realmente se roba la canción...magnifica!!..y los coros de Lennon y Harrison perfectos, como siempre se destacaron...trabajo de equipo total!!
El bajo está mal tocado en varias partes. Harrison se equivoca y se sale de tiempo un par de veces.
Cuanto hubieso querido es u har la cancion oh dRling en la voz del maestro john lennon paul tambien lo hace perfectamente con una voz maravillosa eleva su voz buena
According to the booklet for the 2021 re-release of the newly mixed Abbey Road, it’s actually JOHN on bass using the Fender Bass VI. If you listen to that augmented chord that brings the verses in, you can hear John hit a high E harmonic on the high E string at the 12th fret.
George is on Guitar here using his Les Paul. The very last quirky notes of an A arpeggio plucked at the end of the song are played by playing an A bar chord and plucking the strings BEHIND the bridge and saddles. John’s Epiphone Casino had a trapeze tail piece, making it impossible to achieve an arpeggio that sounds like that.
Paul's Casino has a bigsby tail piece which is how the arpeggio was created. I used to have a 68 Casino with a bigsby in 69 and the first time I heard this song in 70 I was blown away because I knew immediately how they got that sound. I suspect Paul played the guitar on this song.
Paul McCartney is the finest musician of the 21st century. It's almost like there's nothing he can't do. Give him an instrument and he will play it like no other. Give him a sheet of paper and he will write incredible lyrics. Give him a microphone and he'll belt out some of the most explosive vocals you've ever heard. The guy is a phenom.
A GENIUS…!!!
I’ve often said if I had my life to live over and I could live as anyone except myself, my choice would be PMcC.
I’ve just synced up all the instrumental lines on my DAW, and want to add the BVs myself ( As they’re not isolated from Paul’s lead vocal) , so I can use it as a backing track for when I perform it live. I am amazed that the BVs are different on each verse! I was going to do my own track from scratch playing everything myself, but this is too good an opportunity to miss. Fabulous work by Paul, John and George! 👍
Nice pic of Ringo. Double bassdrum!!
thanks!
the picture is from "7 October 1968"
during the long long long sessions
@@pieta9097 Has the double bass drum ever been used in any track? It seems that a double bass drum was used in Good Morning Good Morning but that was 1967 and this picture you claim is October of 1968.
@@ramirreyes6414 he didn't have one during 1967
i cant tell if he used it somewhere
@@ramirreyes6414 the only track I can think that would use it would be revolution, but that part is possible with a single kick, it’s just a little harder
@@Thorin-MattfromGO The Beatles did perform Revolution semi-live and there was only one bass-drum there. I heard an isolated drum part of Revolution and its done with a single-kick, just rapidly. I tried to play it too but I'm not as steady as Ringo and I have a bad pedal.
This is so good!!! Thank you for sharing.
The rough instrumentals give this song an edge and the bluesy authenticity of a simulated jam.
In many years from now, when you get to heaven there will be four young men to welcome you with song, and it will sound exactly like this.
mi canción favorita de todas, la primera vez que escuché el vocal de Paul aquí casi salgo corriendo por todos lados, no soy dramática, de ninguna manera!!! Para ser el momento justo en cuanto me enamoré de Paul McCartney fue poco!!!
Si, es cierto lo bien que canta Paul en este tema ... no sé si lo sabés, pero John estuvo celoso de no poder cantarla él mismo.Creia que su voz le podía sentar mejor a ésta canción... sucede que a esa altura de la trayectoria de los Beatles, el que componía la canción la cantaba, así nomas, y eso no se discutía
@@fernandodeleon7466 sí, estoy al tanto de la historia tras el deseo de john de cantarlo lol para ser sincera daría de todo por escuchar su versión del tema ;;
@@boxianparkk En otro comentario, dije que sería fantástico contar con ambas versiones, por qué no?
Podríamos disfrutar de las dos, sin tener que poner una por sobre la otra.
Saludos !
@@boxianparkktambém!!, 😔😔 mas não aconteceu.. e agora com IA não ficara certo, se ele nunca cantou , jamais cantará
These guys were, & will always be, my "Rosebud".
