Elvis is the GOAT. Even the Beatles said that, as well as a zillion others - Springsteen, Chuck Berry etc. The Beatles are great, but no one comes close to The King.
MarkRogersTV College Football I like Elvis too. And he was the King from about the middle of 1955 until he went into the army in early 1958. After that, mainly thanks to his crooked manager Tom Parker Elvis his career was totally mismanaged. Perhaps the most mismanaged career of any superstar in the history of show business. From the time Elvis got out of the Army in 1960 until his Christmas special of 1968, Elvis did not any live performances whatsoever. Zero. All he did were Elvis movies which were all the same and not very good. And they would release the occasional single to keep his name relevant on the charts. After his comeback TV special, Elvis Did nothing but live performances in Vegas and arenas throughout the USA. He got burned out, fat and at the end of his life became a caricature of his once great self. It is true that all the Beatles admired Elvis, but they admired his pre-army career which gave them a lot of inspiration, but not his post army careers. And the Beatles played live concerts all over the world. Elvis Presley never played a live concert outside of North America. That was because of his manager Tom Parker who was afraid to leave the US because he would get in trouble with European authorities for things he had done in his past. Also, Elvis was never the same after his mother died in 1959. So yes Elvis was great and truly the King, but the Beatles ruled and still rule today. Elvis Presley the most versatile voice in history and could sing any kind of music you could imagine. If Elvis had had proper management throughout his entire career, He would’ve shared the ruling status with John Paul George and Ringo. Also note that after Brian Epstein died the Beatles did not have good management either. But they could still write and play their own music. They would’ve broken up eventually anyway but not nearly as soon and not nearly as nasty. This is why when you look at the big picture the Beatles were at least a little better than Elvis.
@@shackdaddy7106 Hey Larry, I appreciate the thoughtful and detailed response. I agree with most of your take. I'm aware of the history. I understand that a debate could be waged (and is all over the internet) on popularity and influence. I refrain from such discussions. I simply speak based on what I hear. The Beatles are one of my 5-10 favorites and probably have the second most number of songs that I enjoy listening to. I consider them the greatest band of all-time. Elvis' place in my musical universe is untouched though. To me he is simply the greatest vocalist and stage performer and no one rivals him. As you mention, he was mismanaged and also destroyed himself. Those facts actually magnify his enormous talent. Imagine, someone forged arguably the greatest career in the history of entertainment and because of the Army, Col Parker and drug abuse, only truly was doing what he should have been for about five years of a 23 year career. Amazing. Again, thanks for the response.
Koozie modo I always knew Paul was a terrific singer but never knew just HOW good til I moved to Japan, and got into Karaoke, at a place on the hill, near me. The range that lad had was unbelievable. I can sing most John, George and Ringo-led songs quite passably - Paul's are another proposition entirely. I can Just about do 'Hey Jude' but the rest... I can't get anywhere near. My Billy Joel's, Rod Stewart's, even Tom Jones' sounds ok in karaoke. But I've learned to give Paul's songs a miss now, to avoid sounding like a fool (on the hill).
At first I thought I had it figured out: John would let Paul take all the high runs. Makes sense. Then John sang "soooo long" near the end. and I just marveled at the vocal tapestry. I don't know how barbershop quartets arrange their harmonies, much less The Beatles. I blame a lifetime spent listening to these guys for making me try to harmonize alongside every melody I hear.
Paul and Johns' voices go together like nothing else. Edit: some people in the replies say this is George singing back up. Upon closer listening, I can't tell if it's George or John, but sounds like John to me. I'm sure everyone would still agree with my statement though.
I just absolutely love the way they trade off the lead vocal like that so interchangeably. Unless you listen really closely thanks to isolated audio tracks like these, it's hard to notice how nicely blended in it sounds with the rest of their rock band instruments. No other songwriting duo was this awesome and talented quite like Lennon and McCartney,
Without a doubt Their 3 part harmony climb (straight B chord) on the bridge knocks me out every freakin' time 1:33 - 1:43. Even top tribute bands don't always get that part right.
phenomenal is a strong word. basic is more fitting. this was very simple drumming, a child learning to drum could do this after like 3 solid lessons. ringo is a fine drummer in his own right, but calling this phenomenal is like calling mcdonalds a fine dining establishment with gourmet food
@@El6Magico6Arlequin6 It's the right word - 5th greatest drummer of all time according to Rolling Stone. You make the same mistake most people make about Ringo: that all he did was keep time. Have a listen again to those 27 #1 hits and see how Ringo shaped every one of them.
@@Tonetwisters You can judge a lot about someones knowledge, by their opinion of Ringo. People who know nothing about drumming don't rate him, musicians think he's really good and great drummers hero worship him!

@@martincvitkovich724 Yes, there are softwares nowadays to correct the pitch of the voice to the point that It sounds robotic (especially in mainstream pop or trap)

Caleb Perez I love John and Paul but seriously you are kidding yourself if you think they have better voices than Elvis!! As for MJ don’t even start me on his weak vocals and girlish squeals!!
MegaKrisso you’re kidding right? Elvis’s voice is great, but his voice is not nearly as interesting or rangeful as Paul or John. Elvis has to be the most overatted singer ever. He is one of the greatest entertainers ever, but not a godly singer. He ain’t no Stevie, Freddie, Marvin Gaye, or countless other singers. You may not like MJ, but he is one of the greatest singers of all time, even when he’s not “squealing” as you put it
@@calebperez7204 you have to put the time Elvis came along into perspective. He came out of nowhere and onto a music scene that was just beginning to develop from dance hall/wartime music to a new genre of Rock and Roll. Without Elvis many others wouldn’t have followed including The Beatles.
@LudVan 75 why is it going too far? Are you able to substantiate this claim? Many have made this argument but do not list significant reasons why Delius, Elgar Beethoven's works, are superior to the works of Lennon and McCartney. Most people would be able to recall many Lennon and McCartney tunes, but apart from a couple of melodies by Elgar and fewer by Delius, therenot widly known or appreciated outside the classical circles. Lennon and McCartney in my opinion were exceptional composers and produced many complex vocal arrangements and all without a formal foundation in music theory and harmony. Please don't discount their musical achievements just because they worked in a modern condensed pop/ rock sphere. They were as inovative and experimental as any os 5he past masters. And they took a large portion of humanity along on thier journey. If you care to intellegently discuss the musical merits of their compositions, both sides I'm certainly up for it. Regards to you.
This ‘65 into ‘66 period was unbeatable. So fracking tight. When John breaks into that falsetto on “so long to find out” - just such a John moment. But what’s so great is Paul is right there.
Most Beatles fans do not know that Paul sings under John on the following lines: "For taking the easy way out (now)", "She took me half the way there (now)" and "She only played one-night stands (now)" If anyone doubts me, search The Beatles at Candlestick Park (their last concert). John's mic is very very low on Day Tripper and Paul's is very loud and you can hear Paul singing "Got a good reason, then he sings the low "For taking the easy way out" MIND BLOWN!😊
It's unbelievable that four guys from Liverpool (or anywhere, really), each so talented ( songwriting, musicianship, et al) would meet and create this wonderful music. The odds of that happening anywhere, anytime in this universe or beyond are - in my conservative estimation - about 10 billion to 1. Make that 20 or 30 .... It was a once-in-a-lifetime experience if you, as I, was a 12 year old watching The Beatles Feb. 9, 1964 (I think) live on Ed Sullivan. I was so lucky (my parents weren't: they had to get me a guitar right away - I pestered them; thanks Mom and Dad).
*Stages of being a Beatles fan* 1st stage: Affection. Thinks their music is quite good, listens to a few. 2nd stage: Starts listening to more songs, beginning to get into them more. 3rd stage: Loves them, starts listening to every songs of theirs. 4th stage: Beatlemaniac. Listens to every songs, watches all of their interviews or anything related to them. Craziest stage of being a fan. 5th stage: Realization. Knows that they won’t ever get to meet Lennon and Harrison or go to a Beatles concert. Becomes sad for being too obsessed.
I'm almost at stage 5, I don't think I'm properly depressed yet, either that or I've gone to the 6th stage which is to forget the fact that you won't meet them and just underatand that I am now a massive Beatles fan
Goddam their three-part harmony is unsurpassed! Just John and Paul together is magical. Their voices were naturally harmonious even if they were singing the same thing the same way. There will never be another band with that kind of prolific and consistent creative output. There are very VERY few Beatle songs that I think are just ok. And can we talk about Revolver? Why is it whenever the topic of “best album ever” comes up it’s “Pet Sounds” for The Beach Boys and “Sgt Pepper” for The Beatles? Don’t get me wrong, Pepper is great but Revolver is GROUNDBREAKING! Nothing, NOTHING had ever been heard like that before. It truly is their best, most influential album in my opinion. And with the exception of The White Album is the only LP to feature not only three Harrison tracks, but start off on a Harrison track. Which is arguably one of the best tracks to ever kick off an album. Anyway... yea Revolver!
1:33 is the kind of transcendental moment that makes the Beatles seem almost supernatural. I wonder if Paul ever watches these new track separation videos. Does he also think: how, how?!
Greatness. Listen how tight the vocals are and how they interweave, with harmonies going above and below the lead, so that you can't really tell which one is which. Just brilliant.
They were in the right place, at the right time. There was something new and different in their music and lyrics, and people loved it. If they'd been a few years earlier or later, we might have never heard of the Beatles, playing Liverpool gigs.
I like these kind of snippets into Beatle recordings. With the lack of recording technology in those days I think it's quite amazing what they achieved. It's 50 years since they split and they still sell there music. I wish I could be here in the next 50 yrs I bet they will still be popular.
79goldmaster1 its because music isn’t about good music anymore, its about what you look like and if you can dance and sing at the same time. You can thank MTV for ruining it by making looks more important than music..
Because music along with all other forms of entertainment has been deliberately dumbed down in order to make it easier to sell to women, who by nature are shallow and do not require depth.
@@davids.7238 You might consider looking up the difference between 'relative, and relevant'. And please understand that relative is used as an adjective here...not a noun. Good luck on your English lesson. (Something you should have learned back in the 4th grade). You Americans always crack me up with your, how should I say it...'understanding/grasp of your own language'. Lol.
@@baberoot1998 What a pompous reply! You confused us Americans with your sentence fragment. We’re much too dumb to read between the lines (dots). Lol. I think you’re just too proud to admit that you goofed. Interesting cover though. (I’m using “cover” as a noun.)
I love these... I never noticed before; there's a minor slip up by Paul, I believe; around 2:07. It sounds like he starts to sing the lyrics from an earlier chorus, but then catches himself and corrects it. Sound like "A one-day driver, yeah". Sort of a mash up of "one-way ticket" and "Sunday driver". Anyone else hearing that?
Actually, these little “goofs” were very common during their early recording years. John was notorious for forgetting even his own lyrics but being the pros they were, they kept on playing/recording. Of course, studio time wasn’t cheap so if the goof wasn’t that huge, it made history!
Day Tripper was recorded on October 16, 1965 at Abbey Road's EMI Studios, the same day as If I Needed Someone, George Harrison's title on Rubber Soul. The band repeats the title in the afternoon and records three different instrumental takes, finally choosing the last one to add the vocal parts. John Lennon and Paul McCartney share the singing and the chorus, but it is Paul who holds the vocal lead on the verses: unusual for the Beatles, where it is generally to the main composer of the title that returns this role
It was a warm summer day in the 60's..they were young and couldn't even "imagine" what it's like to be 64 years old. The sun seemed brighter then. They would say "Here comes the sun". Life was perfect..but all things must pass.
I had to sing lead on this at a summer rock camp when i was eighteen. I mustve listened to it fifty times in a row the day before the performance, i was so nervous about getting it right. I'd like to think i pulled it off but it's hard to recall now, honestly. I remember rehearsals a lot better than the actual performance.
Their harmonics, I was 18 when first heard “I Want To Hold Your Hand” One thing brought up my attention was the sound of their harmonics, their high pitch chorus voices, that was completely different of everything I’ve heard before. So, first their music, theirs voices then of course the lyrics of their songs. A whole revolution.
I can hear Paul singing lead at each intro with John singing lead unison notes with Paul to finish each verse. John's vocal is more upfront only during the chorus with Paul singing falsetto and then singing unison notes along with John to finish it off. As far as George I only hear him during the Ahhhss during the solo section.
As I've posted before, I've run out of accolades, hyperbole, praise for Johnny and the Moondogs. And, because I'm a 68-year-old Beatlemaniac and know whereof I speak, I say the world will never see their like again; that's for darned sure.
@@79goldmaster1 You know it. The world is a better place because of Beatles' music. I used to work as a staffer in Illinois Senate politics, and during sessions full of acrimony, vitriol, etc., I dreamed of the idea of breaking into the PA system and playing "All You Need is Love" loud. I ain't no hippie or flower child - I wouldn't have attended Woodstock for all the tea at Lipton's - but Beatles' music has such a soothing effect. The best ther ever was, the best there ever will be: JPGR!
they influenced the entire r&r scene but in late 70's when disco was shoved up us, they had nothing to do with that, or punk and definable not rap. Beatles influence groups like Beach Boys that influenced Beatles . All of the music of that era fed off each other, but it would have been lame if not for Beatles!
I like the way they switch off. Paul is lead singer in the verse and John is harmony in the second /fourth line. Then John is lead in the chorus and Paul sings the high harmony.
There’s three singing “She Was A Daytripper, Oneway Ticket Yeah”. I can’t tell if George has the middle harmony, or Paul. I’m guessing George. Great harmonies, so tight, it’s hard to tell!
When time put these 4 gentleman together it created a virtuous circle! These guys made each other better, while in some other bands it works the other way ‘round.
What a phenomenal vocal. God gave us a true gift when he got these Fab 4 together. They were truly a gift from heaven. I know they made my world a happier place.
"I - tried to please her." I've heard, and played this song a thousand times, and I never knew he said I - tried to please her, I only ever heard "Tried to please her."
Absolute eargasm to hear the focused, crisp vocals from this No. 1 song. Rare "John" song to have the vocals led off by Paul. Concert shot at end of clip is from Cincinnati, Ohio, Aug 21 1966. Cool threads! Note the dongle hanging from the neck of John's Epiphone Casino guitar, acquired in Japan that year.
The without the 🎶 music makes the Beatles voice sounds great because you can actually hear how the Beatles combine their voices together and sing that's makes the it more amazing
Holly Bo - I think John often forgets or mixes up the words... There is a performance (live) of Twist and Shout with John singing a different part than the backing harmonies... Also another live performance John misses the verse for Help... :)
They switch lead parts ... John sings low harmony first part of verses; then sings lead with Paul singing high harmony on the choruses, I think it is ...
It’s as simple as this: The Beatles were the greatest musical aggregation ever to walk the planet. Period.
Agreed. I've said the same thing to many videos using different words. Their depth of talent was staggering.
Indeed
Elvis is the GOAT. Even the Beatles said that, as well as a zillion others - Springsteen, Chuck Berry etc. The Beatles are great, but no one comes close to The King.
MarkRogersTV College Football I like Elvis too. And he was the King from about the middle of 1955 until he went into the army in early 1958.

After his comeback TV special, Elvis Did nothing but live performances in Vegas and arenas throughout the USA.
He got burned out, fat and at the end of his life became a caricature of his once great self.
It is true that all the Beatles admired Elvis, but they admired his pre-army career which gave them a lot of inspiration, but not his post army careers.
And the Beatles played live concerts all over the world. Elvis Presley never played a live concert outside of North America. That was because of his manager Tom Parker who was afraid to leave the US because he would get in trouble with European authorities for things he had done in his past.
Also, Elvis was never the same after his mother died in 1959.
So yes Elvis was great and truly the King, but the Beatles ruled and still rule today.
Elvis Presley the most versatile voice in history and could sing any kind of music you could imagine.

Starts out singing lead (John on lower harmony) ... then switches over to high harmony on John's lead part.

Sounds more like "One Day Driver" to me.
Love the incredible power of Jl's voice on "SO-OH LONG" ETC.
This sounds so good.
*Stages of being a Beatles fan*
1st stage: Affection. Thinks their music is quite good, listens to a few.
2nd stage: Starts listening to more songs, beginning to get into them more.
3rd stage: Loves them, starts listening to every songs of theirs.
4th stage: Beatlemaniac. Listens to every songs, watches all of their interviews or anything related to them. Craziest stage of being a fan.
5th stage: Realization. Knows that they won’t ever get to meet Lennon and Harrison or go to a Beatles concert. Becomes sad for being too obsessed.
I'm almost at stage 5, I don't think I'm properly depressed yet, either that or I've gone to the 6th stage which is to forget the fact that you won't meet them and just underatand that I am now a massive Beatles fan
Great John. Plus Paul and George. What vocals. Yes they do all the instruments first and then with headphones they complete the vocals.
McCartney just scared the shit out of my cat.
Hugo Chavez lol I couldn't hear anything so i turned up my volume, and when the first lyric came. I nearly had a heart attack
God bless you Beatle People!
Goddam their three-part harmony is unsurpassed! Just John and Paul together is magical. Their voices were naturally harmonious even if they were singing the same thing the same way. There will never be another band with that kind of prolific and consistent creative output. There are very VERY few Beatle songs that I think are just ok.
And can we talk about Revolver? Why is it whenever the topic of “best album ever” comes up it’s “Pet Sounds” for The Beach Boys and “Sgt Pepper” for The Beatles? Don’t get me wrong, Pepper is great but Revolver is GROUNDBREAKING! Nothing, NOTHING had ever been heard like that before. It truly is their best, most influential album in my opinion. And with the exception of The White Album is the only LP to feature not only three Harrison tracks, but start off on a Harrison track. Which is arguably one of the best tracks to ever kick off an album. Anyway... yea Revolver!
1:33 is the kind of transcendental moment that makes the Beatles seem almost supernatural. I wonder if Paul ever watches these new track separation videos. Does he also think: how, how?!
Greatness. Listen how tight the vocals are and how they interweave, with harmonies going above and below the lead, so that you can't really tell which one is which. Just brilliant.
Cool to hear stuff like this, gives the audience more insight to the band.
You can hear Ringo beating the hell out of the drums in the background.
No ya cant
@@chrishill6276 Not my fault you are deaf.
@@chrishill6276 I can.
Inconfundible JOHN!!
They were in the right place, at the right time.
There was something new and different in their music and lyrics, and people loved it.
If they'd been a few years earlier or later, we might have never heard of the Beatles, playing Liverpool gigs.
I like these kind of snippets into Beatle recordings. With the lack of recording technology in those days I think it's quite amazing what they achieved. It's 50 years since they split and they still sell there music. I wish I could be here in the next 50 yrs I bet they will still be popular.
Two Great lead singers in one band. Amazing.
One of the best. Why can't we get anything similar to this now ??
79goldmaster1 I’d like some of the early stuff will sound raw as
One reason, a band cannot get steady work anymore. It's all one nighters. The Beatles honed their skills playing live night after night in Hamburg.
79goldmaster1 its because music isn’t about good music anymore, its about what you look like and if you can dance and sing at the same time. You can thank MTV for ruining it by making looks more important than music..
Because music along with all other forms of entertainment has been deliberately dumbed down in order to make it easier to sell to women, who by nature are shallow and do not require depth.
It is because the music industry is promoting electronica music which is cheaper to make and means more money for them.
I can't add a thing except they are the best there ever was, the best there ever will be. Thanks, JPGR for everyting.
And if you disagree with me, I'll flail (Flail?) you with my synthetic Beatle wig!
Greatest band...that ever lived. The Beatles will be relative...500 years from now.
relevant?
@@davids.7238 You might consider looking up the difference between 'relative, and relevant'. And please understand that relative is used as an adjective here...not a noun. Good luck on your English lesson. (Something you should have learned back in the 4th grade). You Americans always crack me up with your, how should I say it...'understanding/grasp of your own language'. Lol.
@@baberoot1998 What a pompous reply! You confused us Americans with your sentence fragment. We’re much too dumb to read between the lines (dots). Lol. I think you’re just too proud to admit that you goofed. Interesting cover though. (I’m using “cover” as a noun.)
@@cantgetnobooty Can't get no booty? I can believe it.
@@baberoot1998 Lol!
i love this guy. the youtuber that posts all of these. thanks a ton !!! (:
Only one word can DESCRIBE them FABULOUS!!!!
I love these... I never noticed before; there's a minor slip up by Paul, I believe; around 2:07. It sounds like he starts to sing the lyrics from an earlier chorus, but then catches himself and corrects it. Sound like "A one-day driver, yeah". Sort of a mash up of "one-way ticket" and "Sunday driver". Anyone else hearing that?
yeahh😂
Yeah I heard it hear but never on the actual song. They do the same thing on please please me you can hear it really clearly.
OMG LOL. Never realized that until I read you’re commenting it and hear it carefully in this isolated track.
Actually, these little “goofs” were very common during their early recording years. John was notorious for forgetting even his own lyrics but being the pros they were, they kept on playing/recording. Of course, studio time wasn’t cheap so if the goof wasn’t that huge, it made history!
Yup :)
Yes, ladies and gentlemen, they were that good. And always better than you thought they were
One of my favourite tracks from the Fab Four brilliant 👍
Damn, I think this just became my new favorite Beatles vocal track.
So good. What great harmony.
Day Tripper was recorded on October 16, 1965 at Abbey Road's EMI Studios, the same day as If I Needed Someone, George Harrison's title on Rubber Soul. The band repeats the title in the afternoon and records three different instrumental takes, finally choosing the last one to add the vocal parts. John Lennon and Paul McCartney share the singing and the chorus, but it is Paul who holds the vocal lead on the verses: unusual for the Beatles, where it is generally to the main composer of the title that returns this role
It was a warm summer day in the 60's..they were young and couldn't even "imagine" what it's like to be 64 years old. The sun seemed brighter then. They would say "Here comes the sun". Life was perfect..but all things must pass.
Just stunning to hear without the instruments "cluttering up" the sound. Their voices so pure, and the harmonies locked in.
Such dedication to and love for their songs and their band! 😊
These isolations are "it" for me now.
Thank you!
I had to sing lead on this at a summer rock camp when i was eighteen. I mustve listened to it fifty times in a row the day before the performance, i was so nervous about getting it right. I'd like to think i pulled it off but it's hard to recall now, honestly. I remember rehearsals a lot better than the actual performance.
Their harmonics, I was 18 when first heard “I Want To Hold Your Hand” One thing brought up my attention was the sound of their harmonics, their high pitch chorus voices, that was completely different of everything I’ve heard before. So, first their music, theirs voices then of course the lyrics of their songs. A whole revolution.
Thank you for posting. I can practice the song and I won't feel like a fool singing along with the car radio....
The " so long" is pure magic
Fantastic..Raw vocals of Lennon here too...
And Paul!
He and Paul switch leads ...
Ooohhh this little treasure right here!!. Nice and loud and clear.
Incredible vocals.
I think I could hear a little bit of George's vocal in the middle "ahhhhhh" part with the guitar solo.
I think George was getting the very top parts through the song ...
I can hear Paul singing lead at each intro with John singing lead unison notes with Paul to finish each verse. John's vocal is more upfront only during the chorus with Paul singing falsetto and then singing unison notes along with John to finish it off. As far as George I only hear him during the Ahhhss during the solo section.
Yes!
It's a three part harmony. George is lowest.
The mixture of their vocals is one of the greatest things ever. And, no AutoTune needed.
Because The Beatles were The Beatles, it may be unappreciated that their voices and harmonies are peerless.
As I've posted before, I've run out of accolades, hyperbole, praise for Johnny and the Moondogs. And, because I'm a 68-year-old Beatlemaniac and know whereof I speak, I say the world will never see their like again; that's for darned sure.
There will never be another you either, you're a part of the story!!!
If I'm having a bad day I simply play Rubber Soul, Help, or Revolver. The Beatles have been a huge part of my happiness for 40 years.
@@79goldmaster1 You know it. The world is a better place because of Beatles' music. I used to work as a staffer in Illinois Senate politics, and during sessions full of acrimony, vitriol, etc., I dreamed of the idea of breaking into the PA system and playing "All You Need is Love" loud. I ain't no hippie or flower child - I wouldn't have attended Woodstock for all the tea at Lipton's - but Beatles' music has such a soothing effect. The best ther ever was, the best there ever will be: JPGR!
The finest harmonization in the history of music. There will never be another perfect combination.
True. But let me suggest: Simon and Garfunkel at their best harmonized really, really well, whatever one thinks about their style of music.
So good it scary. They were in their 20's its almost like paul and john where destined
McCartney is a master
I would go so far as to say ,the Beatles influence all the modern music that came after them .
they influenced the entire r&r scene but in late 70's when disco was shoved up us, they had nothing to do with that, or punk and definable not rap. Beatles influence groups like Beach Boys that influenced Beatles . All of the music of that era fed off each other, but it would have been lame if not for Beatles!
@@martincvitkovich724 ,Yes Agreed , they certainly influenced me , and i went on to play in bands for some 40 years , i think because of them .
I like the way they switch off. Paul is lead singer in the verse and John is harmony in the second /fourth line. Then John is lead in the chorus and Paul sings the high harmony.
another listening, they were so fab mixing their voices, mr Emerick was in the console I guess, s good to understand the work
Greatest band of All - Time !
There’s three singing “She Was A Daytripper, Oneway Ticket Yeah”. I can’t tell if George has the middle harmony, or Paul. I’m guessing George. Great harmonies, so tight, it’s hard to tell!
When time put these 4 gentleman together it created a virtuous circle! These guys made each other better, while in some other bands it works the other way ‘round.
What a phenomenal vocal. God gave us a true gift when he got these Fab 4 together. They were truly a gift from heaven. I know they made my world a happier place.
目まぐるしく変わるリードヴォーカルと低音とファルセットで厚みを出すジョージ。
たった3人の声なのに芸術的過ぎる。
ビートルズを超えるバンドはやっぱり永遠に現れないんだろうな。
"I - tried to please her." I've heard, and played this song a thousand times, and I never knew he said I - tried to please her, I only ever heard "Tried to please her."
Ikr
Fishing for the notes at 1:29. How precious!
Amazing voices!
Best song by the Beatles, as in them working as a band and each member at their absolute best.
Lennon is a master
1:29 they’re getting ready to go up the vocal rollercoaster 😍
godlike harmony right there
Absolute eargasm to hear the focused, crisp vocals from this No. 1 song. Rare "John" song to have the vocals led off by Paul. Concert shot at end of clip is from Cincinnati, Ohio, Aug 21 1966. Cool threads! Note the dongle hanging from the neck of John's Epiphone Casino guitar, acquired in Japan that year.
Never be another musical experience
Like the Lads from Liverpool😍
This is quickly becoming my favorite channel.
Good lord that is great
The without the 🎶 music makes the Beatles voice sounds great because you can actually hear how the Beatles combine their voices together and sing that's makes the it more amazing
Sensationally good with some really interesting harmony from John. The three were telepathic
No words can do this band justice I'm telling you
actually The Beatles changed the way we live our lives , but just few of us admit it
Laurentius Widiawan i Agee. John Lennon inspired me to be an activist for peace and love. He made me Imagine. I
@2.07 I think its Macca but he sings a one way ticket and Lennon sings a Sunday driver
I recall, it also happened in a live performance
Great spot
Holly Bo - I think John often forgets or mixes up the words... There is a performance (live) of Twist and Shout with John singing a different part than the backing harmonies... Also another live performance John misses the verse for Help... :)
They did flubs like that a lot. John says you’ve got a new boy/girlfriend on “Slow Down” for instance.
They switch lead parts ... John sings low harmony first part of verses; then sings lead with Paul singing high harmony on the choruses, I think it is ...
Just noticed that.
A couple of fantastic Ringo Starr transitional rolls.
