For the record, whether people want to admit it or not, the Beatles influenced EVERYTHING that came after them.
Amen.
That's just not true. EVERYTHING? nah
Everyone influences everything, of course, usually in very small ways
Godfathers of music even to this day
You should check out 'ticket to ride', twist and shout, 'I got a feeling' (from the same rooftop recording) 'Lucy in the sky with diamonds' and my favourite 'across the universe'. That's just scratching the surface!
Dude, you have no idea what brilliance lies buried in their rabbit hole. Dig deep and you will be rewarded.
Yessir!!!
Man what breaks my heart about this video is they are truly happy haveing a great time. But this is last time they perform together .
They knew the pressure was finally off.
I'm glad they split up then. If they'd continued, they would have gone downhill. They did well as solo artists.
@@miaschu8175they didn’t break up here though. They made their best album yet after these sessions
They would never had gone downhill if they could have got along doing it. They had 3 top song writers. Would have never had a shortage of ideas
Ringo STARR on drums and George Harrison playing the other guitar
The London police showed up during this song to try to shut them down because of noise and traffic concerns. You can see them milling around on the rooftop. During the final song “Get Back” the police shut off George and John’s amps, but Harrison turned his back on in defiance and their manager turned John’s back on. They finished after that song. Lennon finished the concert with “I'd like to say thank you on behalf of the group and ourselves, and I hope we've passed the audition."
In an interview many years later, one of those policemen said that the issue was that they were causing traffic jams.
Had the chance to go to London some years back and among the many many amazing places I went was this very building/ street. It was super cool just being in London and seeing Abbey Studio, Royal Albert Hall, and more. Very grateful to have traveled and seen a few places outside my little life at home.
Ahh yes. George Harrison on guitar....Ringo Starr on drums
Two young policemen, at least one still alive. They pretty much let the concert finish but the traffic is a big issue. I've known the area very well from 1978 and quite well from way before that. Gridlock prevents ambulance and fire engines getting where they need to be. Doesn't take much to stop everything moving. Almost arrived late for our son's wedding ten years ago and had to walk the last couple of miles to Langham Place.
George Harrison and Ringo Starr are the other members of the Beatles. If you’re not familiar with their music, get prepared for the best musical ride of your life, honey
pschht overrated
On rainy days I will listen to the Beatles. I have most of their recordings!
This was their last time playing together as the Beatles this was the year they split
if I was alive I probably would've cried
I was, and I did.
@@pinerginiw5828Same!
The Beatles pushed boundaries and took things to new levels that no one had before. The talent of all four members was incredible.
Yes. Stay with the Beatles. They are the foundation that rock stands on.
Don’t sleep on Billy Preston on the organ, it completed the song. They “knighted” him as a Beatle during the recording of Get Back
a candidate for Fifth Beatle
Billy's song Will it Go Round in Circles may be a forgotten Hit but it's definitely worth a listen. He was the fifth Beatle. Everyone wanted him in the band but Paul thought it would be too hard trying to keep up with 5 Beatles. 4 was tough enough.
Billy is playing an electric piano here, not organ.
@@callmeoutlaw6601 He also wrote “You Are So Beautiful” (that Joe Cocker had a big hit with).
Love Billy. Y’all should check out videos of when he was younger. He was a badass keyboard player. He started out as a kid. He was only about 16, and playing with Little Richard, when he first met The Beatles in Hamburg, if I am not mistaken. I wonder how he was able to play there when George was kicked out for being underage at 17? 😂
On April 4, 1964, the Beatles became the only musical act to hold the top five spots on the Billboard Hot 100 simultaneously. The songs in the top five were:
"Can't Buy Me Love" at number one
"Twist and Shout" at number two
"She Loves You" at number three
"I Want To Hold Your Hand" at number four
"Please Please Me" at number five
🇬🇧 That's an amazing accomplishment. ❤️🎶🎼🎙️🎙️🎙️🎙️
Yessir
To me “In My Life” by The Beatles is forever my favorite song.
Beautiful...The Long and Winding Road is also one of my favorites.
That's one of two being played at my funeral. The 2nd is Across the Universe, as I go through the final curtain. I'm being carried in to King Curtis' version of Whiter Shade of Pale. I would have had three times as many songs but as we don't have all day, the rest of the music will have to wait for the after party or "the wake" as some people call it.
In My Life was covered quite well by Johnny Cash in his later years ♥️
People also forget that the first week the Beatles charted there were classical records in the charts.Their music changed everything.
Ozzy Osborne states that music before them was in black and white, it went full colour because of them.
The Beatles laid the foundation for most modern music. Everything they did was important.
You might find it interesting to experience the Beatles chronologically. Their music shows a progression over time, as they experimented and grew. I would also say that beyond appreciating the music as it stands, you will gain a greater appreciation by putting it in historical context. Everything they did was new. They influenced and changed the music for all. As others have noted, this rooftop performance was at the end.
Yes, the third guy on the guitar is George Harrison. I recommended a week or so ago that you listened to Prince’s guitar solo on the Tribute to George Harrison’s ‘While My Guitar Gently Weeps’. Well that’s George Harrison himself right there. And on the tribute, you can see his son playing guitar. Looking exactly like a young version of his dad. And so so obviously full of joy (as all the other musicians on that tribute do too) to watch and hear Prince perform. I believe Prince said that he didn’t want to rehearse with the rest of the band on the tribute but just wanted to turn up on the day and surprise them. And so he did. His performance is thrilling. Amazing.
(Prince, maaaan!!) X
Jeff Lynne was the most talented person on that stage, and the Prince solo is overrated as hell. If he hadn’t died, it would be just another solo. It is what it is
I concur
Yup, great performance and to hell with that goofass hater above me
Opinions of Prince vary a lot. My own opinion is that he treated the whole performance with contempt. His ego was on display that night. I got the feeling he was the only person there who knew nothing about George.
All sing lead on different songs. Main lead is Paul and John. George Harrison is lead Guitar and backup vocals. Drummer is Ringo Star
The guitarist is George Harrison. He wrote and sang "While My Guitar Gently Weeps". You should check out not only the original version, but there's also a live version done after his death consisting of his son, and a bunch of his AMAZING guitarist friends including Prince, who gives one of HIS best guitar solos EVER.
I love that song
"A Day in the Life" is my favorites Beatles song
This was at the end of their long and storied career and they were about 28 years old here
Here comes the sun written by George... Perfection ❤
Totally
The great Billy Preston on keyboards, and according to Google, was affectionately called the fifth Beatle.
The fifth Beatle is what George Martin was often referred to as, Billy Preston would be the sixth.
Who calls him that?
@@Brandi6666 Google it
@@joyreno1034 Google it.
@@Brandi6666 The Beatles themselves considered Preston to join the group. They'd known him since 1960 in Hamburg when they were unknown teenagers and Billy was a teenager backing Little Richard. Legal and other issues meant they broke up. Their first solo records give us a clue as to what they might have done together as a 5-piece group
Ringo Starr was the drummer and George Harrison was the other guitar player. McCartney and Lennon wrote and sang most of their songs, but they let Harrison contribute a song or two on every album, and some of their very best songs ended up being Harrison songs. Here Comes the Sun, While My Guitar Gently Weeps, and Something were among his and their best. They all pretty much sang the songs they wrote, although they sometimes threw a song to Ringo to sing. Harrison's voice is difficult to differentiate from Lennon's at first until you get to know them better. Because Harrison only got one or two song per album, when they broke up, he had so many songs stockpiled that he put out a triple album called All Things Must Pass that was tremendous and had multiple hits!
Ringo Starr, George Harrison, John Lennon and Paul McCartney. Their last live performance from the fab four .
Eleanor Rigby, by The Beatles. As a lyricist, you will like the words. We actually studied the poem in a Humanities class in college. Then there's the strings... "Look At All The Lonely People; Where Do They All Come From"
Paul McCartney I did not appreciate his grammer school education which must have covered music inc classics, I have attributed strings to George Martin but now I think that Paul had a lot more say in what they wanted the album and the songs to sound like
Oh Man! This is the BEST live performance. You got the #1 out of the gate of live performances of The Beatles. The man in the red shirt is the great George Harrison. The brutha on the keys is the GREAT Billy Preston.
Now the real mindblower. They performed all these songs LIVE on top of the Apple Studio on Saville Rd. No tweaking, no messing around with the mix. Straight up talent BP!
And freezing cold mid-winter. Up on the roof the wind would make it even colder down on the street - hence the coats
Try "I Want You/ She's So Heavy". It's one of their longest songs yet only has 15 words in it. An awesome song!
The Beatles in around 8/9 years changed the world!!! Not only music, society changed for ever after them!!!
A Day in the Life. "What the hell is that."
LOL Can't wait to see your reaction when you find out.
Great reaction by the way.
Really enjoying your channel
How had he got through life without ever hearing it? The mind boggles.
Let It Be, Long & Winding Road, A Day in the Life, Strawberry Fields, yes, list goes on and on❤🔥
Yes. The Long and Winding Road. Beautiful song. Broke my heart when the Beatles broke up. This rooftop gig is so poignant to me.
Genius, original, creative, innovative band.
To watch them BE the Beatles for the very last time... End of 60s Era❤😢
Highly recommend you react to “Something “ by the Beatles! Beautiful song
Man, "A Day in the Life" is the shiz, top of my Beatles list for sure, and would make for a good reaction
The last live performance they did on the roof.
The absolute greatest rock and roll band EVER!
Greatest rock band EVER.
Led Zeppelin. [mic drop]
@@Cosmo-Kramer Led Zeppelin would have never been what you know as Led Zeppelin if they hadn't grown up on the Beatles. (mic drop)
@@suepall5425 But that's just it, they *_didn't_* grow up listening to The Beatles, they listened to American Blues.
George Harrison wrote a couple of good songs for the Beatles, amongst them "while my guitarr gently weeps ". He got woted in to Rocknroll Hall of Fame 2004. There is an outstanding performance from that played by Tom Petty, Prince, Harrisons son, Steve Winwood and Jeff Lynn. Epic guitar solo from Prince.
@miafranlund6982 yes please while my guitar gently weeps with Prince!
First off, I just discovered you about a week ago and have really enjoyed your journey into my world of music (I was 9 years old when the Beatles played the Ed Sullivan show for the first time and I was hooked). I'm 69 now.
Just a few thoughts and FYI's for you. John Lennon was famous for his wordplay. He wrote a few books of his nonsensical "poems and short stories" called "In His Own Write." See? Another play on words. His second book was, "A Spaniard In The Works." This was a wordplay on "Spanner" in the works. A spanner in English jargon is what we in North America would call a wrench.
They wrote and finally played these songs live in the space of a month, as Ringo was committed to start work on a movie the next day. On one of the songs played here on the rooftop of their headquarters in London, John wasn't so sure he could remember all the words so had one the assistants type them out and he sat below John's feet with them on a clipboard.
This "concert" was performed in late January, so it was very cold.
George Harrison was the "other" guitarist, as many have mentioned. He usually had one or two of his songs on their albums, but it wasn't until the band broke up that his incredible songwriting skills would shine. His first solo release was a 3 album set called, "All Things Must Pass."
Ringo Starr (given name Richard Starkey) is considered one of the finest innovators and perfect compliment to the Beatles songs by a bevy of the rock world's best drummers. Plenty of UA-cam videos of drummers saying so. And at almost 84 he is still performing.
When the police finally were able to stop the performance and wrangle them off the roof, John quipped to the assembled onlookers, "Thank you on behalf of the group and ourselves and I hope we passed the audition! Laughter ensued.
Nice supplementation. 😊
The main dynamic in the Beatles was the songwriting partnership between John Lennon and Paul McCartney... they met as teens and when they started writing songs together, they bounced ideas whenever each came up w/ a song... They made a pact that every song they wrote together would be credited as 'Lennon/ McCartney'... For example, Lennon wrote and sang the song 'Help!'... and McCartney arranged the harmonies... McCartney wrote & sang "We can work it out"... and Lennon added a verse to the song.
So, for the most part, The Beatles were guided creatively by Lennon and McCartney...
The rooftop concert was played in early 1969 on The Beatles' label Apple Corp. building at the time as a free concert... American R&B singer and keyboardist (the late) Billy Preston was invited to the studio sessions in 1968 and he was there playing organ w/ The Beatles on the rooftop.
However, the 1968 sessions were problematic... disagreements erupted and after The Beatles released the album 'Abbey Road' in 1969, John Lennon announced that he was leaving the band... Paul McCartney went public w/ the Beatles' breakup in 1970 when he sued the other Beatles to terminate their partnership and divide their assets (McCartney said later that it was to keep then-manager Allen Klein from stealing from the band and he had no other option because McCartney never signed a contract w/ Klein - the other 3 did...)
George Harrison played lead guitar and some lead vocals ('mustache guy')... He started writing songs as well, if not as many in the beginning like 'Think for yourself'... 'I need you'... However, in later years of The Beatles, he became frustrated that his songs were not given the same urgency by Paul McCartney that was given to John Lennon's songs ... Still, Harrison's songs got better and he wrote and sang major Beatles songs like - 'Something' ... 'Here comes the Sun'... 'Taxman' ... 'Blue Jay Way'... 🔥🔥
Harrison learned to play Indian sitar from his friend Ravi Shankar... he played it on The Beatles song 'Norwegian wood (This bird has flown)'
After the Beatles split in 1970, George Harrison had accumulated a lot of songs that he recorded on his 1971 solo album 'All things must pass'... He became famous for organizing & performing in the NYC charity event 'Concert for Bangladesh' to help the refugees that were in India fleeing genocide in Bangladesh from the Pakistan military... The concert was filmed and can be seen today.
Unlike the other Beatles, George Harrison was quiet and introverted... he had a solo career & eventually recorded a 'supergroup' album 'The Traveling Wilburys' w/ major icons like Roy Orbison, Tom Petty, Bob Dylan, etc. in the 80's... Harrison retired from touring in 1992 and passed away from cancer in 2001 (R.I.P.)
Ringo Starr (drums) joined The Beatles in 1962 and was not a major songwriter in the band... His singing voice was deeper and not as versatile as the other 3, but he was still asked to do lead vocals for a few Beatles songs like - 'With a little help from my friends'... 'I wanna be your man' ... 'Yellow submarine'... He still records and tours today as a solo artist.
Yes, that's John and Paul, and other other guy on guitar is George Harrison, and of course, drummer Ringo Starr. The man on the keyboards is Billy Preston, who is a star himself in his solo career, he was not an official Beatle, but was often referred to as the 5th Beatle. I've said it before and I'll say it again: The Beatles weren't just a band, they were a cultural revolution that changed music and our culture forever, and everything that followed was from their influence. Thanks for a great reaction! Good choice! ✌💙✌
This is a bittersweet performance for Beatles fans as it was their last public performance and broke up soon after. Makes me sad and happy every time I watch it. The guy on keyboards in Billy Preston. He's got a song called Will It Go Round in Circles, which is great.
They all sing lead vocals, normally with the songwriter doing so. The long list of hits they produced occurred within a very short 7 year run. At one point they occupied the 1 thru 5 slots on the Top 40 Hits List and often occupied multiple slots. They are the most influential, most covered band in rock history. Their breakup was followed by successful solo careers for all 4 of them. Check out A Day in the Life, She’s Leaving Home, In My Life, Norwegian Wood, I Want You (She’s So Heavy), I’m Looking Through You, Oh Darling, Here Comes the Sun, Something, Yer Blues, Helter Skelter, While My Guitar Gently Weeps, Let it Be, and Two of Us for starters; the list goes on and on.
Look at John's smile when he sings it, you know he's thinking about that moment with her!!!
Enjoyed this reaction! I’ve been a Beatles fan since the first time I heard “Yellow Submarine” when I was a kid 😂❤️🔥✌🏻🫶🏻
The Fab Four and their fantastic songs. I reckon a few people would show up for them.
The Beatles created the modern music industry. NOBODY sold records like they did! EVERYTHING we love about popular music stems from them - they influenced every genre that came after them!
Peace
I’m 78 and was born in Liverpool. I saw the Beatles aged 15 at Litherland town hall and they were amazing absolutely amazing. That was 63 years ago and I still remember that first time! I’m envious of you BP because you’ve got so much more to listen to from this band.
Rocky Raccoon is a great fun "country" song on The White Album, with Paul hilariously doing a southern U.S. accent.
Love Rocky Raccoon
Blackbird was written by Paul when he first came to the states and saw how a few black women were being treated
Beyoncé does a lovely cover of it on her latest album.
"Day in the Life" and "Helter Skelter" are just two of their genre-defining songs. Must listens! Along with "Come Together", "I want you", Hey Bulldog, etc. The list goes on and on. If you watch the "Don't Let Me Down" video closely, you'll see who I call the "fifth Beatle", the legendary Billy Preston on keyboards. He's tucked away to the side in the video. In my opinion, he was the glue that kept tbe group together in their final years.
Note that the Beatles had given up live touring in the mid 1960s, as they couldn't even hear themselves sing due to all the screaming girls. They proceeded to mainly focus on studio work and rarely played live together again. The 20 min or so "concert" on the rooftop of Abbey Road studios in 1969 in the UK was the final time they ever played together again. You should watch all of this historic event. No one knew at the time that this would be the last ever Beatles live performance......RIP John Lennon in 1980 and George Harrison in the early 2000s. ❤
Perfect explanation!
Little trivia, this was the second album that Alan Parsons as an assistant engineer worked on for George Martin. Parsons went on to engineer Dark Side Of The Moon.
That's Billy Preston on keyboard. John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, Ringo Starr❤
This whole concert is 🔥
One of my favorites ❤
Going completely by memory (and I'm sure others will correct me if I'm wrong anywhere):
Unannounced performance on the roof of their business offices (Apple Corps) in London; the date was 30 Jan 1969 (shortly after 12:30pm) and this was their final performance as a full band.
Because it was unannounced, they had not gotten any permits or made arrangements with local authorities, including police, so no crowd control, no traffic control.
Being unannounced, there was no crowd that otherwise would have gathered in the street to see this wildly-popular band that had not performed for an audience in a number of years. It did stop traffic and draw a small crowd.
Local police showed up to shut them down because of complaints by local businesses and concerns about the crowd, the traffic and the noise, but being the Beatles the band continued on, completing what was only a 42-minute set.
Your lack of knowledge about band personnel and song catalog is shocking. I'm not faulting you, just sad that you have missed out on something that was an international cultural upheaval that literally changed the world. There is no drawback over pressing on to educate yourself about them.
The Beatles innovated in music, initiating what developed into world music, progressive rock, and heavy metal. They developed studio techniques, invented new sounds, added new electric instruments, and broadened their musical tastes. From their first American concerts, their contracts insisted that there was no racial barriers to who could attend or where they could sit. They brought Eastern spirituality to the Western world that is still mainstream. When they stopped touring in 1966, they began making what we can now call music videos, to debut their new songs. I believe "Strawberry Fields Forever" and "Penny Lane" was the first ones, in 1967.
That's just a hint of the impact of the Beatles.
You won't get all of it all at once; some will sneak up on you.
I still remember the day, after following them for 43 years, that I realized the harpsichord bridge in the middle of "In My Life" (written by Paul McCartney, released in 1965) was actually Pachelbel's Canon in D Major.
McCartney and Lennon met when they were 14 & 15 years old, respectively. When they started writing songs, they agreed to share credit,,, even if it was a solo effort. George was brought in not too long after. It took him longer to start writing his own songs, but his contributions were too often pushed off the albums, something that by the late 1960s led to the band's breakup and the band members heading off to do solo albums.
Recommendations:
Paul McCartney: "Blackbird", "Helter Skelter", "In My Life", "Get Back", "Penny Lane", cover of "Long Tall Sally"
John Lennon: "Norwegian Wood", "Imagine", "Give Peace A Chance", "Tomorrow Never Knows", "Whatever Gets You Through The Night"
George Harrison: "Something", "If I Needed Someone", "It's All Too Much", "While My Guitar Gently Weeps", "Got My Mind Set On You", Wah-Wah
Ringo Starr (only wrote 6 songs for the Beatles): "Octopus's Garden", "What Goes On", "Don't Pass Me By" (all 'meh')
Note: "Helter Skelter"
Considered the first Heavy Metal song (released 1968), it is forever associated with disturbed mass murderer Charles Manson because he interpreted the song and lyrics to mean something satanic. Actually, it's about a piece of playground equipment.
In the UK, a helter skelter is a spiral sliding board; the lyrics are descriptive of using the equipment.
"When I get to the bottom I go back to the top of the slide
Where I stop and I turn and I go for a ride
Till I get to the bottom and I see you again"
McCartney said that he was "using the symbol of a helter skelter as a ride from the top to the bottom; the rise and fall of the Roman Empire - and this was the fall, the demise." He later said that the song was a response to critics who accused him of writing only sentimental ballads and being "the soppy one" of the band.
My favorite Beatles song. And Billy Preston on keys is fire.
I love The Beatles and I love this song.But I really wish they would have shown Billy Preston playing that keyboard... It has such a presence in this song
He wasn't a Beatle, he was just a hired musician. Showing him would've detracted from the video, it's about The Beatles.
@@Cosmo-Kramer the referred to Preston as the fourth beatle because he worked with them and wrote songs witht hem
@@lilpoohbear653 How could Preston be the fourth Beatle when they already had 4 Beatles, and he wasn't even in the band??
@@Cosmo-Kramer fifth beatle...my bad
FOR. A BAND THAT RECORDED FOR 8 YEARS THEY HAVE SOLD OVER 900 MILLION THRU LAST YEAR.. NOBODY IS EVEN CLOSE TO HALF OF THAT....THE GREATEST BAND EVER....
There will never be a band like the Beatles, ever again. They came in playing rock and roll, then changed it upside down when they started writing their own songs, and going in directions that shook everyone. They were innovative and took risks. Other bands were always waiting to see what they did next. I was 13 when I first heard them...and their music was a big part of our lives. This song was at the end of their collaboration, 1969. Listen to the early stuff, and then listen to how they evolved.
As a life-long Beatlemaniac, I almost envy you at this time, as you have the chance to discover so many amazing Beatles songs for the first time. A few oddball selections you might want to check out are "Taxman," "Norwegian Wood," and "Octopus's Garden."
Good morning sunshine ✌ hope all is well for ya
The phrase 'You done me good' is colloquial slang and not good English. People from several areas of England might use it in an informal way and it's pretty common in Liverpool where The Beatles come from. But given that pop songs often feature poor grammar, it's a good lyrical device and fits in very well here. And when you hear the band members speak in interview they're all articulate and use good grammar.
I hope he sees your explanation. 👍 ____ "Done me good" has also been around in the U.S. for at least most of my life (I'm 62). And it may have evolved from, & possibly been a counterpoint to, "she done me wrong." Subsequently, I recall hearing "done me dirty" (which did not have the same cheeky meaning of John's lyrics. It just means someone did something hurtful.). I associate all of these with the southern states, but that's just my impression.
One of my favourite songs by The Beatles. They can all sing and Ringo and George have led on some vocals and had their own careers as singers/musicians..
There will never be another band like these La's !
Pure talent, no mimicry or autotune
The other guitar player is George Harrison, the drummer is Ringo Starr, and the brother on the keys name is Billy Preston. Fun fact the only non Beatles to record with them was Billy Preston, and Eric Clapton played lead guitar on a song called While my Guitar Gently Weeps
Nicky Hopkins on Revolution?
I grew up with the Beatles as the band every other band was compared to that followed. I know everyone listens to different music and you're young, but imo every person in the music field should at least be able to identify the four members of the band. This is beyond music, it is important history!
A Beatles track that you might find interesting is Tomorrow Never Knows, from the 1966 album Revolver. Even today it's a stunner - God knows what people would have thought in '66. It was one of their first psychedelic songs, with a ton of tape loops overdubbed onto the track - an early version of using sampling the old fashioned way. It also has a sitar, Ringo playing a slightly strange repetitive drum beat, Paul going nuts on one single bass note, backwards guitars, phased vocals - it's a whole acid trip in just under 3 minutes.
I introduced my grandson to the beatles when he 2 he's 8 now n knows their songs n voices . What makes them special is they all wrote wonderful songs.a day in the life is my fav.but I'll their music
The other guitar player was George Harrison, who is considered one of the best guitarist ever. The drummer is Ringo Starr. He and Paul McCartney are the two surviving members of the band. This was their last live performance together. The police officers seen came up to the roof because of noise complaints. How anyone could have complained about hearing the Beatles live? I love this, one of my faves!
George has a few of the Beatles best selling songs, Here comes the Sun, Something, While my guitar gently weeps.
George Harrison on guitar Ringo Star on drums
1 of their most iconic performances
the beatles live shea stadium was mental and them live on ed Sullivan show bro 🔥🔥🔥🔥
As the Beatles, they're always referred to as John, Paul, George, and Ringo.
My favorite Beatles performances. They're last live performance 😢 Get back from this performance is amazing ❤ Peace out ✌️ ☮️
That's the 5th Beatle (Billy Preston) tickling the keys. He is the only artist to recieve joint credit on a Beatles single (Get Back). BP plays with so much soul! The group sounds phenomenal! Great reaction, TY.
You just witnessed a historical video!!! Their last public concert ever. And John nd Ringo Starr were only 29 Paul was 27 and George Harrison was 26. ABSOLUTELY AMAZING
Greatest Band ever !!!!
they all sang, usually the songs they wrote, George was lead guitar, except for one of their best songs, While My Guitar Gently Weeps. Eric Clapton plays on that and George sings, George wrote the song Badge that Eric Clapton did as payment and the song Layla by EC is about George Harrisons wife...
Wow! I didn't know George wrote Badge! I love that song. I'm going to listen to it right now.
So glad you "got" this one. It was different for those of us who grew up in the 60's and 70's because this was our reality. We turned on the radio and this was playing! I'd really like to see you react to "Revolution" if you haven't already because the iconic riff at the beginning of the song will definitely blow you away. It still blows me away and I'm in my 60's!
Drummer Ringo! Guitar George Harrison. Keyboard player Billy Preston--some have noted that he was the 5th Beatle towards the end of the group. Each of the guys sang. Paul and John did most of the songs. Ringo did a few. Personally George's songs are some of the BEST of the group. Two or 3 that are always voted top 10 to 20 songs from the Beatles--Here Comes the Sun and Something and While My Guitar Gently Weeps. I am sure people will have there own but love these George songs!! Thanks for the great review. Cheers.
George and Ringo! George on guitar and Ringo is the drummer.
She did one exceedingly.
This entire album was written and recorder in about 45 days. They did a performance on yhe rooftop which would be their last as the Beatles
I never was a big Beatles fan but loved some of their songs a lot. Such a shame the way John Lennon died 😢but I know lots of their songs. I loved this one. They are legends - This is so good to see them all alive and well ( and young ) 😊 Love from Lisa a lyme warrior 🦠💚🦠💚
Whle my Gutar Gently weeps tribute with ELO guitarist, tom petty, John's son and numerous others. Then Prince walks on stage with his guitar and drops all their mouths. My favorite Prince vid! In his red fedora
Prince was incredible on it. Stayed in the background then totally took over, amazing
George Harrison was my favorite Beatle. Something is my favorite song. Most of the songs written by George Harrison are my favorites because they make me feel good and calmly hopeful. My Sweet Long and Here Comes the Sun bring me right back to my teenage years.
All Four Beatles were lead singers and all had hit songs after the band broke up. They all also sang hits while with the band. Truly the greatest band ever. Their vocals, their musicianship and overall performances were beyond the times and will last long after us.
Hard to fathom only 5 years before this they were playing “I want to Hold Your Hand”
The drummer is Ringo Starr. I'm sure you've heard of him. They all wrote songs and took turn singing lead. John and Paul wrote and sang the vast majority, but George wrote and sang quite a few, and Ringo wrote a 2 and credited on couple of others. Check out one Ringo wrote and sang called "Octopus's Garden". The other is "Don't Pass Me By". Both excellent songs.
"There's another brother playing the guitar and the drummer. I don't know their names." It is time to leave this world!
You should all so listen and react to the Beatles let it be one of the greatest songs ever recorded
I remember this on national news. They wanted to give a free show for people. There were huge crowds of people in the streets that obviously blocked traffic and caused a bit of chaos. It was good publicity for them so I can see why they did it. As a 12 year old I loved it, trouble is they didn't show much of the music on the news so I never heard it properly until years later.
The drummer is Ringo Starr and the guitarist is George Harrison, he's the guy who made "i got my mind set on you"
Just FYI, the guy on keyboards was Billy Preston who had quite the career himself. But he was often called the 5th Beatle and added a lot of feature sound and style to some of the later recordings. Check out some of his solo stuff: Will it Go Round in Circles and Nothin from Nothing being two of his biggest hits. Also the guitar player you didn't know was George Harrison. The tribute concert they did for him after his death is one of the best things ever. I would love to see you watch some of those songs. Featuring people like Billy Preston, Paul and Ringo (John was already deceased), Eric Clapton, Jeff Lynne (from ELO), Tom Petty and many others.
My son grew up in the 70's watching the Beatles cartoons ❤ they were literally everywhere
Ringo Starr the drummer went on to make solos as well as a hilarious movie called "Caveman"...
John,Paul, George Harrison on guitar,and Ringo Star on drums. All sang and wrote their own songs throughout their careers.. Many styles❤❤
A day in the life ❤️ such a great song
Oh my! Billy Preston is on keyboard. Assume you already have been told: freezing on the rooftop, last minute decision to do it, last performance. They were, beyond all the other things, a great live band.
I'm glad there's not comments raging because you asked George and Ringo's names! This was 55 years ago so it takes some learning 💥🎸🎤
every beatles album has a gem of a song that has risen to the top. this will be a george harrison son. george did a relief concert for bangladesh in the 70s - changed the music industry again - then he started the travelling wilburies and kinda changed the way musicians of a maturer age were represented in popular culture. he was a one man revolution :)
