    Abbey Road is the Beatles’ 9th Symphony. A final masterpiece achieved in difficult circumstances by the greatest composers of their time. Both the 9th Symphony and Abbey Road have amazing and joyful finales that put a giant exclamation point on the artists’ magnificent career. Despite the struggles, Beethoven and the Beatles finish with a triumphant masterpiece. Excellent video - as always.

    • @bgraif

    Abbey Road is tied with All Things Must Pass as my if-necessary one-and-only "desert island recording". I've saved it to play it through my great ear buds with an MP3 player at the end of several trips on the way home, either on the airplane or in the shuttle/Uber/Lyft. It just transports me to a wonderful different place and time and eliminates any negativity from the rigors of travel. Several times, the album has still been playing when it's time to land or arrive at my house, and I want the journey to last a little longer, even if its hot or bumpy or uncomfortable, in order to let the album finish - that's how powerful and enjoyable it is. Thanks Abby for your perspective on it!

      george is undeniably magnificent and is strutting his stuff on this record but lennon and mccartney performing songs they wrote from 63 to rubber soul especially are what set the stage for george to shine as bright as he did later. i think you're an old soul, a wordsmith, a gorgeous replica of women george had at his disposal constantly, a woman who hopefully takes care of herself when relating to the tragic figures of rock but lennon and mccartney writing and singing those songs is the heart of the beatles. long live the fab 4 and soon may people start shipping you the records you're missing from your collection....pamela des barres' copies of stones records, etc..

    I agree with you about Billy Preston. It's a British thing instilled into us as children that when you have an important visitor you have to be on your best behaviour. Billy was a great musician with a real soulful feel, and a genuinely nice guy. His influence held them together in that final year.

    First, I'd like to tell you that I just discovered your channel and I love it. Now my comment has to do with what you said about George writing the hits. I think it has to do with the fact that most of his compositions were rejected by Lennon-McCartney. He was allowed a couple of songs per album at most so whatever got through had to be excellent. This is also why, after the breakup, he was the most productive former Beatle. No wonder he needed a triple album for All things must pass.

    I've only recently heard Pauls bass lines isolated on "Something". He's doing some very inspired playing indeed. I had the opportunity to meet Robert Moog in the Ninties. He lived in Black Mountain NC just outside of Ashville. He was more an engineer than a musician, but he was a very nice and considerate man.

    12:44 The Les Paul:
    "Lucy"
    OK, so...
    She started as a 1957 gold top Les Paul with a Bigsby, it seems (Gibson has some doubts about it). She belonged to John Sebastian then Rick Derringer. She was refinished to a natural red. Derringer felt it changed the guitar too much so he sold her to a guitar shop.
    Eric Clapton bought her, but didn't use her much, then gave her to George Harrison. During the recording of the 'White Album', Harrison was focused on sitar, so he asked Clapton to come in and record a solo for 'While My Guitar Gently Weeps' on Lucy. Harrison also used her for the solo on the album version of Let It Be.
    Later, she was stolen from Harrison's home, sold to a guitar store, then bought by a Mexican musician who took her to Mexico. Harrison had to trade another red (or maybe sunburst) Les Paul and a P-bass to get her back.
    George apparently kept her after that, but I can't find any info on where she exactly is currently.
    In 2013, Gibson released a limited edition (100) copy of Lucy. It came with a copy of the 'White Album'. I saw one had been re-sold for $17,000.

    Abby Road is the Beatles' slickest production record and probably the most pop, not that mindblowing. Meet the Beatles is their most mind-blowing record, the start of Beatlemania. The bootlegs, reissue and reissues, extras, remixes, scrambles, new songs by "The Beatles" a plethora of solo releases only dilute the legacy. The deconstructed versions of their songs are a revelation. This record is the Beatles on autopilot.

    "She's So Heavy" for me is the greatest moment of the album. The two versions of "I want you..." make a very pleasent contrast, and the noisy-long end is simply marvelous (yes, I'm a huge fan of Sonic Youth!). A solo, Harrison's or Hendrix's, would have lost its magic feeling.

    I just want to get this quick thought in about Abbey Road. Abbey Road is a much better album for The Beatle to go out on than Let It Be. Abbey Road is the nice beautiful bow that is wrapped around a box of amazing body of work. It is the finally of a firework display. You can say they went out on a blaze of glory and a wonderful way to end the most remarkable work of artistical music expression in modern popular music. Now each every member of the band can go on to their solo work after having climb the Mt. Everest of what an artist can reach. The Beatles showed that not only the heights of Mt. Everest but the sky was the limits in music creativity.

    Ok, Abbey, ooh I mean Abigail. You nailed it. Abbey Road is an experiential album. Long after we all agreed we loved it, we started to examine why we loved it. Maybe examined it too much. Just let it be. Hey...

    It’s the most modern sounding Beatles album that was made. That’s why it was so accessible in the 1970,s when I first heard it. You could hear it alongside the wall by pink Floyd or ELO quite happily. By the way well done on this review. Your understanding and grasp of the records of this time is improving in leaps and bounds. Your spirit is definitely in the 1960’s. Probably LA the dreamy summer of love in 1967.

    Aabb(e)y Rhoads.....it's one of my favorite album covers. So damn sunny and positive. Lennon and Macca should've had The Beatles do Cold Turkey. Instead of, say, Maxwell? Yoko in bed in studio 2. Is 'I Want You' the prototype doom metal riff? I love Paul. And that voice on Oh Darling. Excellent. See you in court. 😊

    Abby, third and final comment about what else the Beatles were doing in 1969...
    John was banned from the USA at the time, because of a drugs charge. Instead, he and the wife went to Toronto, where he recorded Give Peace A Chance in the hotel room and also organised a concert for peace (documented by DA Pennebaker).
    The Beatles put out another great single, The Ballad of John and Yoko b/w Old Brown Shoe. The Ballad of John and Yoko is a John masterpiece of sorts, all about the recent adventures, with some really choice lyrics. John was keen to put it out as an "instant single", so he and Paul got together and did all the parts, including Paul on drums. Old Brown Shoe on the flip side is just as good (George, sounding great). The two tracks may be found on Past Masters Vol.2.
    The end. From me to you, peace and love.

    • @tonywhittaker9485
      @tonywhittaker9485 Рік тому

      Correction. Get it right, mate. Montreal in Canada is where Give Peace A Chance was recorded. Apparently the locals are very proud of that. But the peace concert was in Toronto. Clapton was in it, and it was filmed by DA Pennebaker.
