Iv been a Beatles fan most of my life , we moved to Manchester for my Dads work in the early 60s , in 1963 we went to Oldham market one day and I nagged my Dad into buying there first album, Please , please me . I still have it somewhere I was 7 yrs old I love the way you break down their work with so much detail it’s almost a love thing 👌👌
Amazing reaction...and really great video from...You Can't Unhear This This video made me weep, gently... ...I once lived next door* to George, and this brought back a lot of fond memories! *(when I say next door, it's not as if he still lived in Arnold Grove - he was living in Friar Park, so next door was across the way from his vast FPSHOT studio and home!) -- RIP George (and John!)
I really love your Beatles reactions! And for the record, I agree with you about Eric Clapton not being necessary the high point of this classic song. I thought I was the only one who felt that way! My favorite version of this song is actually the "Love" version. It's so beautiful ❤.
I've always had a suspicion about the origin of the line "I look at the floor and I see it needs sweeping". When Harrison started taking sitar lessons from Ravi Shankar, and expressed an interest in Hinduism, Shankar gave him the book Autobiography of a Yogi by Yogananda, which had a lot of supplemental information in its many footnotes. Harrison would give copies of this book to his friends. One was Gary Wright who's "Dream Weaver" is based on a line from a Yogananda book. There is an incident in Autobiography where a touch from Yogananda's guru causes him to go into state of cosmic consciousness. When the experience is over, the guru hands him a broom and tells him to sweep the veranda they were standing on - sort of like saying that although you can have your head in the sky, you should keep your feet on the ground. Of course, Harrison used the sweeping action as a metaphor for getting rid of impurities, but the idea could have originated with the passage in the book.
Hiya JJ. Yur respect and obvious enjoyment of the Beatles is both energetic and influential. I love the Beatles from listening to my dad’s collection and love sgt peppers lonely hearts club band & the cartoon film Yellow submarine is also a fave rewatched dvd that I’ve watched since I was very young the blue meanies are coming! lol. I wondered if your involvement, both technically and passionately, through work and other involvements surrounding music started/originated/comes mainly or partly from the Beatles? As a Brit they are (majority) revered, but have a small minority comparing them as a lucky, basic band that improved with success but were still overrated. They get some disrespect from that observation which I completely disagree with. I wonder how many of them absolutely love Oasis. To me the Beatles are a musical influence that changed the shape of music around the world bringing a new phenomenon of obsession with it. Love your reactions so much-especially the music ones. (Prodigy was particularly meaningful to me for reasons I commented on that video). Keep up the good work. Love Gill, Southend, Essex Uk. ❤
I used to work with a guy who one day said, he thought the Beatles were over-rated and the Stones were in a different league. I was born the same month Beatles for Sale was released and their music has always been a part of my life. I've also been involved in playing music to some degree since I was about 6. I tore into him about what an incredibly stupid comment that was, that he was free to like other music more, but by talking about things he obviously had no awareness of simply highlighted his ignorance about music. But I did agree the Stones were in a different league, the lower half of the 3rd Division vs the Beatles who were top of the Premiership (he was a big football fan). It's controversial, but for tiny number of good, original songs they recorded after about 1973, the Stones might just as well have split up in 1973, their contribution added virtually nothing that moved pop/rock music on. Not something you can say about the Beatles, or even the band members recording after the break up. Hells bells, I'd offer the Travelling Wilburys up as better than anything the Stones have done, ever, but certainly better than anything since Gimme Shelter.
@jaidee9570 exactly and even as someone as me who was born the year Lennon (RIP&music) was murdered, I recognised their magnetism and totally different approach towards the genre as a whole. I was too young but didn’t wanna brag. I was with my dad in London and couldn’t understand his reaction to meeting someone. It was Paul. In a time well before selfies Paul graciously signed the back of my dad’s work shirt under his (jacket). He has it still-will never part from it and I agree. I’ll keep it for as long as I’m alive as well. Such a gentleman and I only later understood dad’s almost religious reaction. X
To me Rolling Stones rode coat tails of the Beatles and their main success comes from the agreeably excessive, energetic and eccentric performance of Jagger himself. I’ve never really been a fan though I see the appeal. Only ever enjoyed ( can’t get no) Satisfaction from them wen Beatles songs all rule 😊
George got into slide playing when both he and Clapton were touring England with Delaney and Bonnie in 1969. I guess that would make it easier to tell who was playing what, and they wouldn't both be competing for the lead guitar spot. When the White Album came out, George did a radio interview where he said that people kept complementing him on his bluesy feel on the song, but he had to keep telling them it was Eric.
Something that you will find mind-blowing. The " (ditto) mark beneath 'complete', signifying the same word, is almost as old as history itself. When archaeologists discovered the library of Ashurbanipal, they uncovered a wealth of cuneiform tablets. Among these, was one which was an inventory of sorts, with lists of items in columns. Beneath many of the cuneiform words were the number two (in cuneiform), two vertical impressions. The scribe, instead of writing the same word over and over, chose to write a number two to indicate that the above word was repeated beneath. And somehow, the very same process has stayed a part of our collective human culture for over FIVE THOUSAND YEARS. (along with 60 minutes in an hour).
Thank you. I for used the ditto mark on a list of items in my workplace and was chewed out by my supervisor for missing items - when I pointed out the ditto mark, she said "well, how am I supposed to know what that symbol means?"...like it was my own made-up mark. That was about 17 years ago - now I feel vindicated and can let it go. 😅😅😅
It doesn't sound like an FVI to me. The Fender pups come across as thinner sounding to me. But even if it were one of Paul's Hofners, the scale-length would be identical to a Fender VI at 30 inches, the only difference would be it the VI not being a lefty.
@@JJLAReacts I love watching your reactions. You bring your expertise to music reactions, which is fascinating and many funny moments to other reactions. Always paying attention and interested in the subject you're reacting to. Highlighting the jokes in Map Men videos for instance. Keep them coming.
No one has ever wondered or cared about the bass in this mediocre song. Stu Sutcliffe left for a girl and art college and calling him a bass player is a bit of a stretch by his own admission.

Stu Sutcliffe had a brain tumour and died..,
@@Galbonfilms just wow can’t think of other words WOW✌🏻& you met Paul McCartney wen you were too young to know who he was - that’s amazing story 🎉
You are right about --"-- basically means as above. (single line each side of the " sign)
Whoa The Sgt. Pepper album was released on my birthday. 26 May.. Exactly 10 years before i was born 👍
BTW the town where George lived is pronounced Ee sher. Its just up the road from me.
lived in ewell for a few years. watch the usa drown trying to pronounce that!!!
@@theplasteredfinger5942Australia, I’d guess at Yule?
Stu Sutcliffe made the ultimate statement in quitting. He died in 1962.
George got into slide playing when both he and Clapton were touring England with Delaney and Bonnie in 1969. I guess that would make it easier to tell who was playing what, and they wouldn't both be competing for the lead guitar spot.

Now we know that JJLA is all about the bass, about the bass, no treble.
If you had been there, it would have been brilliant!!
Ha! If I had been there it wouldn’t have gotten done 😂
You were correct in your guess. ------ " ------ means ditto.
Yeah, it was John.

Whow! I didn't know this is a Slow Hands solo. Anywayz, I think this is my favourite Beatles song of all time.
Yeah, wild! Once you know, you can hear that it’s him!
What i have noticed is how many tracks on some of the beatle albums there are.
I’m pretty sure 9000 people have said this already, but before Stu quit the band, Paul did not mostly play piano, 🎉He also played guitar.
I'm going into self imposed exile to Ibiza. You'll have to really apologise to bring me back
It doesn't sound like an FVI to me.
The Fender pups come across as thinner sounding to me.

Great idea! I’ve reacted to a video about Eurovision in general but not specific songs.
@@JJLAReactsplease don’t as it’s just rubbish. 😢.

I REALLY REALLY REALLY WANT TO TRY FENDER 6!!!!! ..but I can't find one here in Malaysia 😭
Awe man, it’s really fun to play! I hope one finds you soon 🤘
SPOILER ALERT: I haven't watched this video but it's Paul on his Jazz bass. Anyone who says otherwise is a very silly person.
Shouldn't it be Whilst My Guitar Gently Weeps?
I can hear Colin Firth singing that 😅😅😅
might be my least favourite Beatles song, stacked with cheese
The first video in ages you've made John that I'm not interested in watching a bit too niche, but keep them coming!
One of my favourite vids you have done in a long time 😍
