The timing is absolutely brilliant, at one point time signature mixes between 6/8 time and 7/4. After that on the last section Ringo’s in 4/4 time and then a couple bars in, the rhythm section plays 3/4 Time over top of Ringo’s 4/4. How hard that must’ve been for Ringo to stay in time while they’re playing that. That’s genius!
Polyrhythmic counterpoint, mixed meters and a wicked groove that never waivers. One of the Beatles most sophisticated songs. And I haven't even mentioned the lyrics
John had a complex sense of rhythm and unique time signatures changes. This song is exhibit A: Time signature changing masterpiece, but you can also hear it in “All you need is Love”, “Good Morning”, “She Said She Said” and many more
Great call hw his timing is so professional, doubt he went in going, "we need a time signature change here", think he just followed the wherever each song took him, regardless of results, fearless imo
Definitely a top 10 Beatles song of mine... such an abstracty weird song... breaking a lot from their early 4/4 Beat days.... Damn I love that Rick tone!
John Lennon - vocals (doubled), electric guitar, Hammond organ Paul McCartney - piano, bass, backing vocals George Harrison - electric guitar, backing vocals Ringo Starr - drums, tambourine
YES! It has such a clean 'snap' to it--the strokes feel almost like whip-cracks at times. It's hypnotically phrased, and he leans into it just where the push will increase the overall tension of the song. Definitely, it makes me think of the crack of a whip. Or how some girls can move their hips when they dance. It's a sexy blues--something a lot of the British invasion rockers had a feel for. And you're right--we love them for it. :)
What a haunting organ intro-molds this song perfectly into what it is, like molten liquid gold forming itself into the structurally sound palace of John's thematic universe
Two things really stand out for me here: George’s harmony in the background is almost impossible to detect but it’s one of those super nuanced and important parts that would throw the whole thing off if it wasn’t there… And two: can we PLEASE talk about the INSANE time signature in the whole “when I hold you” bit??? Ringo is holding a 4/4 beat SUPER STEADY while the band is doing 3/4, to then just fall back I to place with all members doing a 4/4 again. That is absolute perfection!!!!
Oh my GOD!!!! That Hammond organ track @10:34 felt like a complete surprise--like you gave me the gift of a completely lost Beatles tune they might've written for a 60's tv show like the Addams Family or the Munsters... or maybe a low-budget horror flick. This and the isolation of the laughing track for "And Your Bird Can Sing" are two audio files you own that I'm supremely jealous of :) But in the good way. I'm finally catching up on your uploads--it feels like an early Christmas present! Thanks @DLD2 Music!!
@@MrUsermister Thanks for the tip! That wasn't a theme I knew but your comment made me look it up and John Barry composed it--I feel surprised I didn't know it already. You rock :)
Yes! I always heard it the mouth bass, but when I came in here and read the word tuba I thought it was going to be that, but no, it turns out it was a voice!
I agree but this started to create problems for them because people thought they had the answers to everything. Which is not true. They were brilliant at music, not business or anything else. They lost money on their Apple Boutique. People just robbed them and walked out with things. Business men they were not!
No wonder this was Paul's favorite song on the White Album. 'Brilliant' is thrown around as we all know - way too much in the last 40+ years. But this is truly brilliant.
Possibly but Paul stated it was the best song in the album. I think it was just the fact that's a great song mainly but yeah he did encourage him to play on it well Lennon did you're right...
Ringo is so awesome. Perfect timing unlike most wannabes who overplay every song. Hey drummers out there, stop your worthless fills. You only impress 13 year olds while pissing off the rest of the band when you miss the beat. Ringo has the knack of listening to the entire band and not glory hogging.
@@americanpatriot7233 “amateur” Beatles fans? As opposed to “professional” Beatles fans? Like you make a living being a Beatles fan? Get over yourself. I’ve been a fan since I saw them on Ed Sullivan in 1964. I have a many bootlegs. Some of these isolated tracks are recent developments and weren’t on bootlegs.
Interesting to hear Lennon doesn't play the Dm6, just a normal 5th fret barred Dm but picking with F on second string being the highest note, with A on the sixth string being the lowest. Logic says it would be easier to just play the Dm like this X O O 2 3 1 but you can definitely hear the hand slide back down to the Am position, which means he picks different strings for that Dm to Am section. Fascinating (to me anyway ha!)
I think it's because of the picking pattern. As on other tracks like Julia, this pattern has the thumb playing the lowest three strings (in an A D E D pattern) with fingers playing the top 3 strings. It only really works well for chords that can be played on all 6 strings, so for the Dm a bar chord at the 5th fret suits the picking pattern. Like you say, the Dm shape can slide down to Am with the bonus that the picking pattern (in terms of strings) doesn't change. For the Dm chord, I hear a B at the top so I think the shape is actually Dm6/A 557767 (probably fretting two strings at 7th fret with 3rd finger), similar to the Am6 shape in the intro.
@@Howard_Wright Yeah, I got it wrong, listening to it now I can hear the high B. I've just downloaded Take 19 and the Lennon's guitar picking is a lot clearer than this extracted one. So...I got the Dm/A wrong too, it's the same fingering as the Am (i.e. first notes: thumb A string 5th fret, 3rd finger high E string 7th fret.) Dm6/D. So it's 5 5 7 5 6 7, except when he moves his pinky from the high B to the D on the G string, which he does on the 4th beat before sliding down to Am. STOP THIS RECORD! STOP THIS RECORD! THIS TIME FOR SURE! Sorry, forget the above, had another listen. X O O 7 6 7. Same first notes, except thumb playing open D string. D'OH!!!!! The simplest way is usually the right way. I hate overcomplicating Beatle "how-to"s. The slide up and down is on the G string, not the A.
@@beatlesfan2884 No it's not the fretless guitar. Discussed this with Ably House some time ago and I think the consensus was that it wasn't. They conjectured that it was also used on Everybody's Got Something To Hide but that was conclusively proven not to be the case. The fretless was pretty much useless as a serious recording instrument and there's no record of The Beatles using it on any track. Anyway, the riff is perfectly playable on your normal common garden-variety electric guitar - not that it's easy to replicate, mind you.
I have no idea how Ringo kept time in this song. The time signature is all over the place: 4/4, 2/4, 5/4, 3/8, 9/8, and 10/8. And of course, Ringo played it perfectly.
actually the video was mine. I gave it to him because I didn't want to upload the whole white album He helped me with the photos and instruments personnel previously
I remember being on LSD back when this album came out and walking into my friends house and this song just came on later in the mid 70's I listened to it just on pot with headphones and it seemed to say hare krisna hare hare when it says Mother superior jumped the gun.. see if you can find it 6:20 we youse'd to think it was about sticking a needle in your arm ☠
Ok, on my second listening, I have a few questions: 1) The Hammond organ @10:34--it sounds like it's 'kind of' in stereo, but then there's a burst of what sounds like full/true stereo @11:07 (where my left channel REALLY kicks in) but then it fades strongly to the right @11:11 again. Can you say any more about the source of the bootleg or how it ended up mixed this way, or if there are other versions available? It feels like listening to the sountrack for Rosemary's Baby, or maybe something Lurch would've played if he'd had a Hammond instead of a harpsichord. :) It's such a dark spin on a groovy 60s aesthetic. 2) at the very end of the organ track, does anybody else hear what clearly sounds like "a burst of Yoko" @11:15?
@@DLD2Music Sorry, for being late. But I must ask this. Are you sure this is actually the studio's Hammond? They had their own Vox Continental to their proposal, it doesn't seem to be that for sure, but what about that old cinema organ that they used so often, from the Pepper LP until very late in their short career. Late in short 😂🤣😂 I do have the idea it could be that one. Have forgotten the name. Was it something like Lowery Organ?
Oh wow--I have ALWAYS wondered what friggin harmony to sing at that chord @7:23/24 (if I'm remembering right from memory it's an f minor?), but I can hear now it's John in the background of the right channel, and he's singing, essentially fa sol, fa-sol-fa, fa..... which I guess means he's singing a 2nd on that iv? (it's been a minute since I studied theory, so correct me if/where I'm off) :) But my ear has always had such a hard time dissecting that chord in my head, and hearing John's voice clear as day, burst forth with just those two notes... the clouds of my musical confusion have been lifted. Thank you once again, DLD2_Music! for a thoughtful, well-constructed Beatles deconstruction. :)
Yeah the low one is what you said and the high one is la ti, la-ti-la, le…… so it lands on a minor third. An F and an Ab. It’s just the classic dramatic IV iv I thing drawn out a bit
I’m going crazy over trying to figure out what Fuzz pedal was used for the first solo at 2:07. And is he really just bending the notes to the higher frets to stay in key? I’m not a dude who misses much
I was gonna ask the same thing! Do you know what the bootleg is from? (Like, the source or the date?) Just curious--you do such great research I just figure you know all the answers. :)
Whatever guitar George used, I'm guessing he ran through the Vox Conqueror with the distortion on full, or the Twin Reverb using the Tone Bender, or digging the Fuzz Tone out of storage.
I had a real ah-ha moment when I first played a vox tone bender (mk1 w/ germanium) and it sounded uncannily similar to fuzz in this solo. They were contracted w/ Vox from so I put 2 and 2 together. Their use of distortion was unique, especially in Revolution (single) and on Revolver, that guitar sound is from plugging DI into the mixer and leaving it in the red
Yeah I’m gonna go on the limb here and venture to guess it’s a Vox Tonebender but it’s got an old germanium transistor. So it’s probably paired with a newer pedal to cut down any radio interference. If Clapton was around he’d he’d probably have a good Dallas arbiter Fuzz Face. Then he would probably be with George’s wife for the next day.

5:37 McCartney imitating Lennon's vocal timbre. What a genius! was in all the details
Woah, of course!
hahaha wth? He isn't
Not even close and not really
Had to comment, been singing together for 10 years now, sure it came more natural than 'imitation' imo
Imitating? What?
I wish John actually appreciated the exceptional voice he had. He was on fire here. I also love his voice in Anna.
He did. Otherwise he wouldn’t sing. Greatest voice in rock
@@hw343434 He's referring to lennon once saying he hated his own voice.

Polyrhythmic counterpoint, mixed meters and a wicked groove that never waivers. One of the Beatles most sophisticated songs. And I haven't even mentioned the lyrics
No one can do it like Ringo did, and no one will. I just love how Ringo has that same fill in slower songs. He’s the best and doesn’t need the praise.

The were and are the Greatest Band in all of History.....no one comes close ...they will never be Beat
Ringo Starr is the lead of this, top drummer, my best of all time
I love you

What a haunting organ intro-molds this song perfectly into what it is, like molten liquid gold forming itself into the structurally sound palace of John's thematic universe
That was solid-alloy prose you got there J.D. Clever!
I always liked the solo breakdown. The guitar sounds like machine gun fire, the bass like mortars being launched. Such a violent song, all about love

'Brilliant' is thrown around as we all know - way too much in the last 40+ years. But this is truly brilliant.

Not a tuba. It’s the weird software making something sound like a tuba. That’s the other guitar line getting stuck in the mess

Do you know what the bootleg is from? (Like, the source or the date?) Just curious--you do such great research I just figure you know all the answers. :)
That’s the Bee’s Knees
Wow
There’s no tuba. The guitar solo is Lemmon playing a fretless Bartell guitar. There’s no second bass part.
Paul is the one playing drums not Ringo. Ringo had quit while recording this song.
Absolutely incorrect
The Rick or the Jazz?
I lean towards the Rick, owing to the pick attack sound.
whats the low harmony singing at the “Happiness Is a Warm Gun, (Bang, bang shoot, shoot!)” part?
John
That’s 100% Lennon playing that piano part. The left/right hand voicing and choice of rhythms is totally Plastic Ono Band sounding.
Whatever guitar George used, I'm guessing he ran through the Vox Conqueror with the distortion on full, or the Twin Reverb using the Tone Bender, or digging the Fuzz Tone out of storage.
I heard for this solo he played a rare fret less guitar, not sure which one.
I had a real ah-ha moment when I first played a vox tone bender (mk1 w/ germanium) and it sounded uncannily similar to fuzz in this solo. They were contracted w/ Vox from so I put 2 and 2 together. Their use of distortion was unique, especially in Revolution (single) and on Revolver, that guitar sound is from plugging DI into the mixer and leaving it in the red
Yeah I’m gonna go on the limb here and venture to guess it’s a Vox Tonebender but it’s got an old germanium transistor. So it’s probably paired with a newer pedal to cut down any radio interference. If Clapton was around he’d he’d probably have a good Dallas arbiter Fuzz Face. Then he would probably be with George’s wife for the next day.
Are we sure the solo is not John. Sounds more like John to me
