#TheBeatles #reaction
Imagine how this affected us in the 60's!!
World changing.
Game changing.
Life changing.
A phenomenon.
I look at 3 different stages of the Beatles
1. The Ed Sullivan Show "switched on" the world from a dismal gray show in near universal images in black and white, to the colorful world of Swinging London and the beginning of color programming on media and theaters- all coincided in 1964-65. JFK was assassinated 80 days prior to the Ed Sullivan Show. It was a cold and bleak, depressive winter. The Beatles gave the world a reason to smile again.
2. Sgt Pepper changed the world from technicolor to surreal colors and shapes. Lennon hinted at it on Revolver's "Tomorrow Never Knows," and "Strawberry Fields Forever." The swirling "cylinders of sound" on "Day in the Life" were the cannons that launched psychedelia to the masses worldwide.
Context is so important. Remember--- this was the Age of Innocence disrupted by assasinations, forced military service during undeclared wartime, and psychedelics.
The reaction was the "Love Generation" now depicted as the cause of all troubles for the younger generations.
"For thousand holes in Blackburn, Lancashire..."
@@carefulcarpenter Four thousand holes-John had read a news article about the town road crew filling potholes in Blackburn Yankeshire , how they laid enough roadmix to fill the Albert Hall...”now they know how many holes it takes...”
@@scottamichie Thanks.
@@scottamichie its blackburn (a town not a road) in the county of lancashire!
A masterpiece. John and Paul at their best together. Ringo’s drumming is unmatched
Thank God they sacked Pete Best
George's maracas is Unmatched
🙂🤌
I agree ringos drumming was as perfect as it could be
What can you say? I can't imagine the world without the Beatles!!
The Beatles are the best, they not only changed music, they changed the world.
Literally. No other band or solo artist has ever had the success quite like them. It was all due to John and Paul’s incredible songwriting abilities that made them musical pioneers and innovators. Not even the partnership of Mick Jagger and Keith Richards, Paul Simon, Brian Wilson, and Bob Dylan could ever outdo them in any way.
@@brianmessitte8462
Remember Elvis? He was at the beginning of Rock N Roll.
@@eddieboggs8306 yes along with buddy holly, chuck Berry. Fats domino, little Richard and many more others.
@@nigelmurphy6761
I heard white singers took the lead in lot of songs that were black singers songs.
100%
Ringo's drumming deserves more props on this song. So progressive.
A big shout out for Ringo's drumming here phenomenal, this song is very often voted the best Beatle song ever.
Just watched with my new hearing aids linked to phone via Bluetooth. Unfortunately, not a lot of base from Paul or Ringo coming through. Tbf, the hearing aids, testing, and setting up were free on NHS with the Audiology Dept of big hospital only 20 minutes away on bicycle. Just a few years ago, hearing aids like these would have cost £thousands. Now to see if I can boost the base
Yep!
55 years ago. So ahead of their time. So many future bands/artists influenced by the Beatles
The most famous final note in history...
They managed the most famous first note too with A Hard Day's Night
I can't remeber exactly, please remind me. My Mother told me in the 70's that it took a long time to capture that note or something to that effect.
John’s VOICE is so epic here. Haunting, beautiful, and just the right amount of edge.
🎸🎼❤️😎
One of The Beatles' Best. No other word to describe it but "masterpiece"
The Beatles are my favorite band. Almost any song you pick from them will be great.
Without a doubt, from their first appearance in February of 1964 on Ed Sullivan's show, the most influential band in history. Harrison said, " The Beatles will exist without us. " A prophetic statement. Sixty years later, they are still getting new fans.
George Martin's incredible production and orchestration! ( and the final note was produced by all four Beatles and George Martin banging on three pianos simultaneously. As the sound diminished, the engineer boosted to faders. The resulting note lasts 42 seconds; the studio air conditioners can be heard toward the end as the faders were pushed to the limit to record it.)
Mal Evans too.
Three pianos and GM on harpsichord.
And ringo’s shoe squeaks at the very end
@@Noisehead101 actually that was the piano bench creaking.
I had a go on the very piano that’s in this song, yes a lifetime memory
John Lennon's voice is so unique and beautiful!!
McCartney is a great bassist. Very melodic.
"Rain" is a hidden gem.
Oh no... you stopped it to early! There's a little surprise ending that will have you shaking your heads and wondering what's happening here... lol... The Beatles were, are and always will the greatest band of all time. They started everything. They changed the world.
That is not a part of the song, It was inscribed on the tunoff part of the record, before the arm returns to rest
Not in the US originally...that was not on the US album version
Not part of the song and not on some vinyl and CDs. But it is fun
You should watch the video on the making of Day in The Life, so much work went into making it even with that last note. Its quite incredible for its time back in 1967, still sounds great today...Johns voice so haunting and Ringos drumming so perfect...
John and Paul wrote the two parts separately...The result is a masterpiece.
Like I've got a Feeling.
@@deniscastellanos9895 I like your pic there...Clockwork Orange is my favorite movie.
@@davidmckenzie420 yes, great movie.
@@davidmckenzie420 yes, great movie.
@@deniscastellanos9895 really? In Get Back film, we can see that John is trying to find the words first
I Want You (She’s So Heavy) is a gem. I would say, probably Paul’s best bass line along with the abrupt ending to the song which was never heard of at the time.
Gosh I loved that song!!! I couldn't wait to come back from school to listen to the Beatles!! I first listened to Yellow submarine when I was in little school I was what?5/6? then I never stopped! Gosh I love it thanks NicknLex
This song and the album were and are a definitive moment in popular music
It amazes me that anyone could forget about listening to the Beatles!!! I have been a fan of theirs since December of 1963 at the age of nearly 17, and have NEVER EVER taken a hiatus from them. Their music is the soundtrack of my life. I envy people who can listen on headphones and experiencing the sounds traveling from one side to another. I have NO idea what that sounds like, as I lost my hearing in my left ear due to the measles when I was 8 years old (there were no vaccines for the measles, mumps and chicken pox in those days, and I had them all).
I was slightly too young to appreciate them beyond hearing them. Then pub rock, glam, and punk was my thing and I was too cool for school regarding 1960s. Only really woke up to Beatles age 44 in 1999 when 12-year old daughter heard my CD of Pepper. Tbf, I did have that dreadful 'A Collection of Beatles Oldies but Goldies' - the engineering and pressing was a disgrace but I didn't know that at the time
This is their peak. Two absolute musical geniuses at the peak of their creativity. In my mind, this is the best song of the second half of the 20th century.
We had the Best music back in the 60's and 70's!!!
George Martin's arrangements took their songs to another level. From rock band to artists.
Que banda!!! La mejor de todos los tiempos. Lo que han hecho estos tipos es increíble y esta canción es asombrosa. Mas Beatles please!!!
Rock’s supreme masterpiece! It has never been equaled.
When I was a wee young lad this album came out. My grandmother bought it for my birthday. She knew that I wasn’t really into the big bands of the 40’s and 50’s my parents still listened to. Late 60’s listening to the newer music coming out on my AM radio. My music world was changing and so was my parents new Victrola stereo.
i remember 67 like it was yesterday, great time to be alive , for cars and for music.
Love "Savoy Truffle" from the White Album by George Harrison. He wrote it about Eric Clapton's sweet tooth.
Beatles made concept albums which should be listened at one sitting. You should do side 2 of Abbey Road without stopping. How it was meant to be heard
Totally agree!
I think listening to one tune is cool, but you do get the real deal by hearing the full symphony.
They didn't. Pepper was the only LP that began with a concept but the concept got mostly dropped. Abbey Road remains a monument to their genius which took a bunch of unfinished doodlings and created a masterpiece in its own right. The Who and Kinks had already conceived collections of songs that followed a theme with Village Green Preservation Society and Tommy being whole concept LPs
The best ending of any song that I know of. Pure genius.
My fave Beatles song.
SAY WHAAAAA??
"Because" mine
@@alanlucero8075 My fave Beatles song is only 23 seconds long...
Loved this since I was a child. I first heard this when I was 7 (in 1968). I feel lucky to have loved the Beatles from an early age. ThX guys. 😎👍🟥🍁🟥
The discordant piece in the middle and at the end was achieved when producer George Martin gave the orchestra a key signature and the number of bars and told them to play whatever they liked. The final piano note was achieved by 12 (I believe) pianists on grands simultaneously hitting the same note with the sustain pedal on. Incredible production for its time. BTW, you're right about headphones; it brings out so much more. For me, headphones help me better understand why Ringo was considered a great drummer, and why so many drummers credit him as an inspiration.
And as the final note decays, the engineer turns up the recording knob to catch every last second of sound!
Actually, according to an interview with George Martin it was Paul who suggested that he wanted the orchestra to start with their lowest keys and work their way up to the highest notes. George said the orchestra just looked confused so he had to write the score for them. But they were just following Paul's instructions
This is one of their best. A masterpiece.
There are literally dozens of great Beatles songs. I like many including Norwegian Wood, Michelle, I Saw Her Standing There, Something, Here Comes the Sun, Yesterday, on and on.
Hundreds
I was JUST listening to this on vinyl yesterday. The runout groove after the final chord is the phrase, "never could be any other way" over and over again.
Some CDs include it but neither of mine and 50 year old vinyl is in sealed box in basement with no space for a proper sound system
Can you imagine? This great music was created in the 60s
Yup, and even more amazing when you consider they only had 4 track machines to record on, everything had to be mixed and bounced down as they went along to free up more tracks for further overdubs. It wasn't until their swansong album 'Abbey Road' that they had the luxury of an 8 track machine.
Beatles were an absolute exploration of sound, especially in their later years.
Hi everyone! We recently hit 10k subscribers and wanted to thank all of you by doing a fun CONTEST! Starts today and will end a week from today, April 7th. Should be super fun and overall just wanted to THANK YOU for your amazing support!

❤️, Lex
A strawberry Fields reaction would be good. 👍
One of the great moments in modern music. Everyone playing at the top of their game including the engineer and the orchestra. Just an immense piece of music that should be appreciated for what it is an how it transformed the public perception of modern music.
I just love it. I love the song. And the Beatles have supplied the soundtrack of my life.
It's no wonder that these people are famous..to hear those sounds in your head..maybe some "Norwegian Wood" next...great reaction, thanks...
Hidden gem #1; "Across The Universe" !☮☮☮
The "red' and the "blue" are a good first collection. My brother got the 8-track for Christmas when I was 8 yrs. old. That was '76.
that Album came out the year I was born. Never was a huge fan when I was younger. Now that i am older, I really appreciate them so much more.
Fun fact - The father of actor David McCallum ( The Man From Uncle, NCIS ), was one of the session string players on this song. It was he who on another recording session suggested to Jimmy Page that he try a violin bow on his guitar("Dazed And Confused"). Another interesting Beatles song from a recording standpoint is "Tomorrow Never Knows " from Revolver. There are a couple of short Y.Tube videos describing how they manipulated multiple tape loops of found sounds during mixdown.
My uncle Angus was a musician with McCallum sen; both lived in Arundel, but he actually turned the same gig down!
Tomorrow Never Knows would be a great song to react to. What a kaleidoscope of sounds!
A Day In The Life......the best song of all time. The pinnacle of music.
I love the percussion in this song
This is the band who started it all off and influenced everything else that followed . This song is a classic and will remain so forever. So pleased I grew up with them and watched them progress. Their music will go on for generations to come.
Each one if them would completely reject that statement. Elvis Presley, Chuck Berry, Little Richard, early Motown, New York girl groups with songs often by Goffin & King, Everley Brothers, Ray Charles, Roy Orbison, Buddy Holly and The Crickets (hence - Beatles), Bill Haley, Lonnie Donnegan, even Cliff and The Shadows, etc including very many obscure and otherwise forgotten individuals and groups started it. Their genius mastered all that and could play all of it live for 8 hours straight in red light disyrict gangster Hamburg then drew on all of it to generate something amazing. Little Richard and Roy Orbison knew them from the early, pre-fame days and loved them
Number 9, helter skelter, strawberry fields, bang bang Maxwell's silver hammer, happiness is a warm gun bang bang shoot shoot, rocky raccoon, lovely rita meter maid, yellow submarine, penny lane, and so on and so forth, oh and thanks for playing this 1 for me !
Even the title “A Day in the Life” has since become a solid part of our lexicon. 😎
Rubber Soul, Revolver, and Sargent Pepper, along with the Rolling Stones, completely changed the musical landscape of America. They moved rock and roll from light pop to more and more serious musical forms that didn't exist before them, exept in folk, blues, and jazz. The beatles integrated folk music into their music because of Lonny Donegan who started a dance craze in the UK that mixed jazz and folk called skiffle. The Stones were into American black blues music, which they reiterprated into their own rock, These, as well as the growing exceptance, because of Motown, of black soul music changed the musical landscape. I also think in todays instant media access era of youtube and other social media, you can't understand how important this music was to the people who were listening. The impact on people like me, was huge in shaping how we saw the world. Try a song like "Tomorrow Never Knows" which even now would be considered unusual, was incredably radical for it's time.
I love this song, thanks for doing it. While everyone was into disco in the late 70s I was listening 60s and 70s rock and progress rock :)
Bad luck. Paul McCartney had already made Temporary Secretary and Rolling Stones made some great disco style tracks. Disco was wonderful for getting people dancing and full of joy together. Punk was thrilling for a few years. Glam was great - T Rex, Bowie, Mott the Hoople. Pure pop was good too - Carpenters, Abba, Elton John. Listen to the prog heroes bewail their audiences being almost all guys of a certain age and personality type. And a lot of rock had lost the ability to roll and degenerated into thrusting groin screeching. And I did have LPs by Emerson, Lake, and Palmer, Yes, Caravan, plus Matching Mole, Stomu Yamash'ta, Gong, John Cale, Captain Beefheart
If you get a chance, be sure to listen to Jeff Beck cover The Beatles, "A Day in the Life" from his live concert album/video, "Live This Week at Ronnie Scott's." Jeff Beck does an amazing job creating an instrumental of the song. Of course, the Beatles version is amazing.
Try Neil Young, especially when Paul McCartney joined him for his part
This is my favorite Beatles album that piano note at the end it still amazes my ears.
I’m glad I was young when I heard it I was open to everything! Loved it.
The production everyone at the top of their game
My favorite song of all time, by my favorite band of all time.
The song from the Beatles "Double White" album called "Martha My Dear" is often overlooked. Paul wrote it about his old English sheepdog, and in my opinion is a great song. 😃🏴👍
If they're doing Martha they also need to do Sadie, and Prudence. Dear Prudence is one of my all-time fav John songs.
I've thought for over 50 years that a genius of White Album was to ask the question, "Which is easier and better, pure pop like Martha, or avant garde like Revolution #9?" Very few, if any, others have been able to cover the whole spectrum of genres and attitudes
I loved my mother, baseball and the Beatles, and the order changed over time. We listened to the Mono recordings on tiny boxy players and on the AM Channels of the radio, and yet, the magic of the music was there. To say that I was five years old when they first appeared on the Ed Sullivan Show in 63 seems surreal to me, because how does a child understand such a thing, and become entranced? SO, I lived through the transitions of each new album, of each new year; the changing fashion and sound, and the experimentation. I grew some, from 5 years old to 10. I was with my older sister at a strangers home, while she babysat their infant, and for the first time I listened to the Beatles albums on a great stereo system. I lay on the shag carpet floor with headphones listening to this song (and many others) over and over. So, watching the two of you listening, now as adults, seems surreal to me, too, because I was just a child. But I loved the Beatles. I knew what love felt like. I didn't understand what they said, really. It was a puzzle that delighted me. I was so fortunate.We all are.
Guys, much respect to Sgt Pepper, absolutely revolutionary in '67, but if you like this you will probably REALLY like about half of the White Album and every song on Abbey Road. Side One of Abbey Road, straight through, then Side Two. Or just start with Come Together. if you liked that Wurm Outro of Yes Starship Troopers, it's basically their salute to the heavy-duty Beatles outros (or 'vamps'), esp Hey Jude and (much less well known now) I Want You /She's So Heavy. All of the prog bands were pretty much launched by White Album plus Abbey Road.
Nowadays you have a synthesizer for some of those sounds here, but in 1967 there wasn't. So they needed an symphonic orchestra. Listen to more Beatles, please. I suggest the 'All you need is love' video which is often forgotten in the reaction community.
Thanks to George Martin, he was a brilliant Producer.
@@mvunit3 And he had four billiant young musicians. ;-)
A synthesizer can never
substitute an orchestra.
@@ralphcordon5688 For that reason I said 'some of those sounds'.
By the way... for the final piano chord,the very last one,they used 4 diferent pianos with 4 people playing synchronised. After a few rehearsals they succeeded
McCartney never gets the credit for his bass playing.
Just listen to his utterly wicked bassline on Come Together,and you're in bass guitar heaven.
So many to choose from.
No, that's not really right. Probably the most famous music magazine ever, "Rolling Stone" lists McCartney at number 9 (!) on their "Greatest Bassists" list. Whereby you can always discuss something like this excellently.
Generally those not attuned to how the bass fits into songs miss his contribution.Those in music industry reckon he's good. let's agree that Paul did a great job on that track you mention.
Paul's my favorite bassist. Ringo is my favorite drummer too.Super underrated. Heck, John, Paul, and George are all underrated as guitar players.
@@andyjacobs28 Not really. All of them achieve ranks in this "Rolling Stone" list as instrumentalists. Anyone who is interested in them knows, that they certainly did not have the skills of classical instrumentalists or so, but that they were very, very tricky with an extraordinary feeling for an unique aesthetic (with a little help from George Martin...).
Playboy magazine always rated him the best bassist with their annual music list. It was probably the only thing I read in Playboy. :)
One of the most amazing songs ever recorded. The songwriting, the vocals, the piano, the drums, the orchestra, just an amazing piece of music! Thanks for the reaction!
Superb - they asked the orchestra to pick a random page of music in the chaos section! This combines two songs by Paul and John and was inspired by a headline in a newspaper. Timeless excellence and beauty - they were real trailblazers not really equalled since. The mystery is how they went from beautiful pop about love to these masterpieces?!
One of the best songs ever! Paul McCartney is such a good bass player. And Ringo's drumming is spot on. Such good lyrics, such good vocals. For me it's interesting that you say people should listen on headphones. Of course you're right but back in the day people used to buy and set up really nice stereo systems with good speakers in their houses that were used just to listen to music. It was so immersive. Now I guess you only get that from good headphones. Love your channel guys!
Thank you so much for your support! :) - Lex
Thank you for your reaction! I am going to give you a list of excellent, if underrated Beatles tunes to put on your list. No rush to get to them, as others will make suggestions of all the great hits like Hey Jude and Let It Be and so many others. But one day, you will get to the bottom and discover these hidden gems waiting to be mined. After watching many of your reaction videos I know the two of you have a great appreciation for music, so I know you will enjoy them! Dear Prudence, I Will, And I Love Her, She Said She Said, Here There and Everywhere, For No One, From Me To You, Baby's In Black, Because, She's Leaving Home, Long Long Long, Mother Nature's Son, Happiness Is A Warm Gun, Two Of Us, and While My Guitar Gently Weeps! Enjoy!!!
What I find truly amazing and awesome is that since the
Early 1960s .....for every second
.....every minute.....every hour
Someone in the World is playing a
Beatle song.
As I type this hundreds....probably thousands of Beatle songs are are playing at the 4 corners of the
Earth.
It totally blows my mind.
The Beatles
" A Day in the Life "
Is a totally Original song.
It doesn't sound like any other song and to this day , no other song sounds like it !!!
The Beatles " Come Together " can also make this claim.
I doubt very much that in 50 or 60 years there will be people playing the
Hip Hop garbage of today and saying " Isn't that a Great song '.
My children have frequently called me a musical snob....and they are probably right.....but never when the musical topic was The Beatles !!!
"Tomorrow Never Knows" is a unique Beatles tune that still sounds fresh.
The world's first drum loop
Fun fact, the last chord is more interesting than 100% of all music from last 50 years
Great reaction. Good analysis. Best of luck with your channel 🥰
Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. The Beatles response
to The Beach Boys - Pet Sounds. It was an amazing era of
musical innovation.
...and 'Pet sounds' was Brian's response to being knocked out by The Beatles' previous album 'Rubber soul'
@@MrDiddyDee there was
"Revolver" in between though.
This is my all time favorite Beatles song. And that ending........ OH! It is still a masterpiece to this day!
Well you picked the right song now didn't you ....where would we be without the Beatles !
I'm not sure if the version you just listened to had it or not, but the album version had a "surprise" at the very end of the final note. It was a loop of different voices with the prominent voice of Paul saying, "Never to see any other way." , looping over and over. Most people don't realize it because they think the final note is the end. Check it out and see.
Johns voice is haunting on this. Beautiful.
One of my earliest recollections (I was 4) was The Beatles first time on Ed Sullivan. To this day it's one of my fondest memories.
Soooo funny, I remember having my little b/w tv in my room, mom tucking me in on that Sunday night…….. Ed Sullivan comes on and BAM……..I fell asleep and didn’t get to see it. Lol….oh I was soooo upset, but now I can watch it as many times as I want!!!!!
"The Long And Winding Road" and "Across the Universe" were songs that always touch the soul.
Awesome reaction to a classic Beatles song. What they were able to create in the studio was so far ahead of any other band. When you just concentrate on the music you really appreciate just how good they were as musicians and songwriters.
Essentially everybody else you listen to were somehow influenced by the Beatles. They basically fit into the category of the great composers like Bach, Chopin, Mozart, Beethoven as far as having their works influence others of their time and beyond. Enjoy their greatness! (Did you hear the dog whistle at the end?)
My favorite beatle song.
How can you have just ONE favourite?
I could reel off 50 Beatles favourites off the top of my head.
This game changer is definitely one of them.
@@TheCornishCockney yes. I picked just one as my favorite. I'm 67, and I bought every album on first day they came out. Fan from day 1.
@@CrusaderX Me too. Age 68.
The first album or music I ever bought, in 1971. I was 9 y o . I remember trying to understand their accents and figure out all the British references on their albums. Loved it then and still do. Ringos drum fills here are so great. A great answer to Pet Sounds, Paul !!
Wow, your upload of the song was crystal clear, thanks for the effort, I heard the Ringo creaky chair so cleanly at the end.
"This Boy", "I Will", "I Saw Her Standing There", "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" and about a hundred others.
No Beatles song beats tomorrow never knows in my opinion. Hope you guys react to van Der Graaf generator soon ☺️
Banned by the BBC, this is the song that changed everything. Even if you weren't a Beatles fan or even a music fan at all. This song changed the world you would live in from then on. Absolutely no question about it.
IF YOU LISTEN VERY VERY CAREFULLY AT THE 4:51 MINUTE MARK ,YOU WILL HEAR SOMEONE LEAN BACK IN A CHAIR THAT SQUEAKS & YOU WILL PAUL OR JOHN SAY "SHHHHHHH"
This whole album is incredible..When this came out it was like all other music stopped for a few months..EVERYONE played this on a continuous loop, it seemed..You couldn't go anywhere without hearing it..I was only 10, but was already a Beatle junky by that age...My older brother and sister were even bigger fans than I was, so there was no escaping it, and I didn't want to!
The whole of Rubber Soul and Revolver are a great summary of the masterful song writing craft of the band plus the early Beatles transitioning into psychedelia and studio experimentation.
You can't appreciate what The Beatles did in their 8 yrs of writing and recording with modern ears. We have been so inundated with all kinds of incredible sounds since then with technology that it is very hard to grasp what people thought when they first heard the Beatles. Many people didn't even understand what they had just listened to because they actually created these sounds for the first time ever. People were baffled and astonished.
Note: the Beatles & other rock bands in late 1960s, early 1970s started experimenting with music flashing between one track & the other, which felt like it was going thru your head when wearing headphones. (People just started using headphones when all music went stereo.)
You must understand, when this dropped in 1967, it was a mind blower for many folks. Nothing really sounded like this in any way, shape or form. This was the Beatles answer to the Beach Boys Pet Sounds album, which floored the Beatles with it's creativity by Brian Wilson.
This was the pinnacle of head trip bizarre by the Beatles, and this lp is consistently ranked at the top or near it on most lists.
Anything from the album Revolver is great. Some lesser known tracks (but still great) are: "I'm Only Sleeping" & "And Your Bird Can Sing". Of course for some great bass in "Taxman". And if you haven't heard "Tomorrow Never Knows", that'll probably be very interesting for you. Very happy you got this through though since the Beatles block almost all reactions.
Wish I could like this 50 more times. You must check out Revolver. Best album ever.
Lemmy said he tried for years to perfect the guitar sound George got on And Your Bird Can Sing.
Two guitars obviously but the tone was very difficult.
Amazing how many metal Gods were massive Beatles fans too.
Ozzy has a Beatles museum in one of his houses.
Amazingly influential.
@@TheCornishCockney
I think it's George and Paul
playing lead guitar on
"And Your Bird Can Sing".
Geoff Emerick doesn’t perhaps get all the credit he deserves for that overall sound, the echoes, the mic placement really the overall sound.
Paul McCartney does not get enough credit for his excellent bass parts; he always killed it. Especially in the later albums, his bass playing was always very good! Ringo's drumming was also always great!
Born in late 68 I became a Beatles fan in 1980 with five albums of theirs that my brother found in our big sisters room. Four of them were earlier albums, except for Stg. Pepper. We were hooked immediately.
For quite a time I’m watching reaction channels but was still looking for the right one. With you two lovely people I have the feeling I have found them. 🧡
