Sorry guys, something I have noticed with other reactions - You somehow picked a different mix of this song. This is not the original [ & far superior version ] - This is more like a demo. You need to double check which version you have chosen. Someone on another reaction played the incredible track "July Morning " by Uriah Heep and did the same thing playing a demo version. This track is brilliant it's just not the original. The proper album version has much more depth & a deeper sound with more overdubs filling the spaces this track has missing. I'm sure you will have a listen on your own later. Still, a Beatles demo is way up there so it's still s great reaction from you guys.
This is the Abbey Road album version. It's not a demo. I have no idea how you came up with that. Listen to the song on the album and then listen to this video... It's one and the same.
This song closed side one. We had to sit with this feeling until we could gather ourselves together enough to flip the record over and we were greeted with Here Comes the Sun opening side two. The record having two sides was part of the art.
Ain't that the truth? And I miss album art - BIG FULL-SIZE album art - too. Liner notes with lyrics so often. I think Billy Preston may have done the organ - those incredibly fast ending-flourishes in some fill-patterns hasn't been demonstrated by any other Beatle (and gosh, George had been playing organ for at least 2 years by this time).
They just don't know what they've missed!! Loved those days of kicking back with friends and "experiencing" an entire album. Liner notes and all!!! So thankful to have lived during that time.
Having grown up at a time when I heard these songs when they were all new, it's really fun to see people experiencing them today for the first time. The Beatles are, WITHOUT QUESTION, the best rock or pop band EVER. Their range, their inventiveness, their musicality, their originality - there's really nothing that can compare.
Eric Clapton did NOT do the guitar solo on "Let It Be"! Eric Clapton performed on just ONE Beatles song and that was "While My Guitar Gently Weeps". The only person assisting The Beatles on "I Want You (She's So Heavy)" is Billy Preston on keyboards... and that's it.
Put on side A Clamp on the head phones and don’t move. Just listen. Only movement: flip over to side B when then time comes and repeat the listening. It’s a masterpiece and deserves to be heard straight through; non-stop. Not in small pieces. (Also, the original mix is essential. This is not it. ) Oh, and that’s Billy Preston on the organ. He also played with the Stones often.
This song is so heavy, one of my fav Beatles songs. Abbey Road was a phenomenal album. Patrick, you've a good singing voice, you should develop that talent. Practice & few voice lessons, you have it son.
2 minutes songs with long deep or simple lyrics = MASTERPIECES 7 minute song with 3 lines lyrics = MASTERPIECE They were able to make every different song or style a masterpiece. "I WANT YOU" or "HELTER SKELTER"(perhaps the first Hard rock song ever made) dedicated to people who still think, Beatles were not able to do Hard Rock
Clear Light released 'Street Singer' in 1967 The Nice released 'Bonnie K' in 1967 Him & The Others released 'She Got Eyes [That Tell Lies]' in 1966 The Who released 'My Generation' in 1965 Kinks released 'All Day And All Of The Night' in 1964. Trashmen released 'Surfin Bird' in 1963. And the list goes way way back.
I'm gonna be honest, while I love the Beatles and have heard most of their songs..... I've never actually heard this one (just heard of it). I freaking LOVE it!!! Thanks for doing this one guys!!! The Beatles are so eclectic, it's incredible!!! GREAT reaction!!! :)
@@elysehfm8797 Hey!! NOT nice 😡! Lol!! Seriously, I grew up with a mother who had seriously limited musical tastes!! It was all bebop/"pop".... My ears weren't BLESSED with Zeppelin and even '80's hair band stuff until I started high school in '84. It was a WHOLE NEW and AMAZING world!!!😎😎
That bass!!!!! There’s no one better than the Beatles. Please review more. I am 65 and they are the soundtrack of my life from the time I was 8❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Paul's bass is so heavy it's a wonder he can hold it. You are right, there's The Beatles then everyone else. Perfect reaction. Beatle mania will never end.
This is a heavy song by The Beatles, and awesome! You two will freak out when you react to "Helter Skelter" by them, which is arguably the very first Heavy Metal song. Some Hard Rock songs came out about the same time, which some people will argue are the first, but most music historians point to Helter Skelter as the first Heavy Metal song. It's hard AF and You'll love it!!
Helter Skelter is not heavy metal. Whosever said that is an idiot. It's hard rock. This song is "proto-metal" but it's still too bluesy to really be heavy metal.
Lennon got criticised for the lack of lyrics by music critics even though they didn’t get that it’s like a mantra of obsession. They said he’d ran out of lyrics. 1 year later he had Gimme Some Truth. He definitely hadn’t ran out of lyrics.
Eric Clapton did NOT do the guitar solo in "Let it Be." He did the guitar solo in "While My Guitar Gently Weeps." And that is the only Beatles song he played on.
This is mature Beatles from their 1969 Abbey Road album, a masterpiece. You need to listen to the whole album it has many great songs. I remember listing to with my college roommates when it first came out for the first of many times.
I'm not sure what version of the song this is. It sounds different. Still great. I know you don't think of the Beatles as having long songs, but their Hey Jude song was the first single played on the radio ever that was over 7 minutes long.
This is an out-take and not the released version on the Abbey Road album, but it sounds very close. It's The Beatles with Billy Preston on keyboards, that's all. They also added George Harrison's new Moog synthesizer on it.
Having heard this song on Patreon, I listened to it a few more times and I love it. I had heard it before but not for a long time, another brilliant song from one of the best and most influential bands in the world. The Beatles was the first band I ever heard from a very young age in the 60s. As I've said before they were always taking us by surprise with their songs and albums. They were a massive influence on me and I feel really privileged to have grown up with their music. It was very sad when they broke up in 1970 but what a legacy they gave us. I've just recently downloaded another fab song from the Abbey Road album - Come Together - be great if you could react to that one, sometime, guys. Thanks so much for this great reaction, though, really enjoyed it, cheers.
John Lennon - vocals, backing vocals, lead multitrack guitar, Moog synthesizer George Harrison - vocal accompaniment, multi-track guitar lead Paul McCartney - backing vocals, bass Ringo Starr - drums, conga Additional musicians Billy Preston - Hammond organ
No other band has the hypnotical power as the The Beatles from first album to the last! They are totally universal in every musical creation, almost perfect.. That is way they have sold more albums then any other musical artist.
Billy Preston plays organ on this track.. which is a unique example of other 'takes' not used on the original Album. So much left behind in the archives.. may still be surprises to come. You guys Rock, i enjoy your reaction very much. Much thanks from us out here. ☮❤
Three guitars (including bass), Ringo's always phenomenal drumming, an organ & a Moog synthesizer....for the "white noise"...toward the end of the song....And of course Lennon's great vocal..with back-up harmonies from Paul & George for the "She's so heavy" part.
Fairly sure this is an alternate version from the one you hear on the Abbey Road album, Some of the vocal lines are delivered the same but the instrumental is slightly different. My guess is this is multiple takes spliced together maybe? That is something Lennon did previously on records. The bass on the album version is phenomenal, It makes the whole song in my opinion. Paul dusted off his Hofner to record this song in the studio. The rubbery sounding, bouncy, slightly out of tune bass line on the studio version can't even be compared to the one used in this take.
@@samuelmregister I could be mistaken but I think the anniversary edition of Abbey Road contains alternate takes of every song on the record. Something is off about the version they're reacting to here.
@@goodskater6789 No question it is an alternative take and maybe an alternative mix. Not as good as the official version, in my opinion. But if you're hearing this song for the first time, this one probably sounds close enough. But I definitely prefer the original to this slightly different version.
@@HidingFromFate Definitely, I prefer the original over all. The one they're reacting to sounds lifeless, Not nearly as organic sounding as the one that made it on the album.
A great, great Beatles track - bass, guitar and organ in particular, and that great arrangement. Master class, the guitar solo makes me think I'm in a small low-lit nightclub, really intimate.
Flashback! I am with my parents in the car and they were singing along with this. And my sister and I begged them to stop. And now I am hearing it again after so many years, and I understand them now. Thanks for your enthousiasm, you totally took me into this song.
Really loving your reactions to The Beatles lads, you totally get them. Like you said, there’s them, and then there’s everyone else. Beyond comparison, absolutely peerless.
They were always evolving and experimenting, innovating. I was 14 years old when my sister gave me the album “Meet the Beatles” for Christmas. It was my first album but not my last! ☮️♥️😎
I’m just barely old enough to remember actually going to a record store to buy a new just released Beatles album. It’s one of the few good things about being old. 😁 Listening to later Beatles music helps you to understand the prog rock bands of the very early seventies.
The first time I listened to this song from the "Abbey Road" (which I have on vinyl), I wondered what happened at the very last second cause the ultimate studio version ends abruptly, no fade out, just cut out as if you parents rushed into your room to stop this song of the devil 🤘🤪🎸
Love your reactions to the Beatles songs! I grew up with them and I evolved along with them and their music. They were trend setters and their music was iconic and they themselves are timeless! Glad you can enjoy them as much as I did and still do!
El último album grabado por The Beatles, fue una verdadera joya, digno cierre de la carrera de la banda más influyente del siglo 20 en la música popular. Este tema y varios de ese album son para reaccionar. Es raro que nadie diga nada de los fraseos que mete Paul en el bajo. En realidad, nadie repara en Paul por su gran capacidad como bajista, algo injusto, que por suerte es reconocido por muchos colegas, contemporáneos y jóvenes.
As mentioned below, this is definitely not the album version of this song. The sound is not as full and polished and the instrumentation is a good bit different. Try to find the album version to listen to even if you don't react to it. If you like this version, and it sounds like you do, you'll be even more blown away by the album version.
Heavy psychedelic blues stuff, man. The Beatles getting nasty, f***ing masterpiece. Paul's bass line and the guitar riff in the second part are legendary
George Harrison did the solo on Let it Be. The only song Clapton played on was While My Guitar Gently Weeps. Other than classical instruments, it was very very rare for someone else to play on the songs. An exception, Billy Preston played organ on this and a few other songs on Abbey Road and Let it Be.
Eric Clapton did the solo on While My Guitar Gently Weeps after George Harrison invited him to play on it. The solo on Let It Be was performed by Harrison himself. I'd like to take this chance appreciating this intoxicating heavy music. Lennon was really a "creative genius" in this song, especially with the white noise from Moog synthesizer and the abrupt ending if you noticed. Also the mixing of this song was the last time all 4 Beatles were in the studio together.
You just have to see The Flaming Lips cover of this, which is over 15 minutes long, jamming in from of a live audience! UA-cam has so many versions of it.
As someone else mentioned, this is a different mix. Still great, but noticeably different. The guy whose channel this is from seems to always have alternate mixes on the stuff he posts - I can tell it's him by the Spanish subtitles. And again repeating what others have said, but Paul's bass playing is fantastic. He goes completely crazy in that last part. As an aside, it looks like you haven't posted anything by Badfinger. You might know at least three of their songs - 'No Matter What', 'Day After Day' and 'Baby Blue'. All great songs and well worth listening to and reacting to. They were the first band signed to Apple, and Paul wrote and gave them their first hit, 'Come And Get It', and George did some producing on the 'Straight Up' album and even some guitar playing. Besides the ones I mentioned, good ones to check out are 'Perfection', 'I'll Be The One', 'Without You' and 'I'd Die Babe'. They got screwed over badly by their management and fell apart, a really sad story. Pete Ham committed suicide in 1975 and Tom Evans 5 years later, but their 'No Dice' and 'Straight Up' albums are fantastic. 'Without You' was a big hit for Harry Nilsson in 1972 and then much later for Mariah Carey, but they wrote it and did the original. Check them out!
I had the privilege to Billy Preston back in 1993. I had always thought the Hammond organ on this song had echoes of that Ray Charles gospel vibe. I asked Mr. Preston if he plays on the track. He said " Yes, that's me" He explained that due to royalty and management issues at that time, he quietly went uncredited on the recording.. Billy Preston's masterful performance takes this song to another level. Great reaction Lads, RNB
Consult the model documentation I Want You (She’s So Heavy) is a song by British band The Beatles. It was written by John Lennon but credited to Lennon / McCartney [1]. It appeared on the Abbey Road album released in 1969 and ended the first side on the original LP. At seven minutes and fifty seconds, it is also the second longest song by the Beatles, after Revolution 9, which exceeds eight minutes. This song is also famous for the fact that when it was completed on August 20, 1969, the four Beatles were reunited for the very last time in the studio. Genesis
The guitar solo on Let It Be was by George Harrison. The there two officially realeased, record versions of Let It Be, and a third, video version. All have different solos, each by George Harrison. The only guest guitar solo in any Beatles song is Eric Clapton in While My Guitar Gently Weeps, otherwise all solos are John, Paul, or George. Billy Preston probably played the organ on this song. He played organ on several songs in the Let It Be/Abbey Road time period.
For those too young to know-Abbey Road was finished just after the Neil Armstrong walked on the moon (and in fact the week of the moon walk was a very heavy week for the Beatles on that album and u could say they took us to the moon and back even before Apollo 11. The Beatles last photo session for the LP (August 8,1969) was done the week before Woodstock. These three events took place in a span of less than one month: The Moon Walk, The Beatles last recordings and ending, and the greatest Rock concert ever. You could might say that mankind reached its greatest peak in history and we've never been the same since. Think about that for a sec. TRULY DEVINE POWER AT WORK.
No. It was pure George on Let It Be. Raw and Soaring. George asked Eric to play the Solo on While My Guitar Gently Weeps. On I Want You (She's So Heavy) it's Billy Preston on Organ and it was his riff, that Haunting Bass riff at the end that was his.
YES, Nancy!!! Skid Row!! I LOVE the Live performance of "I Remember You" at Wembley Stadium!! Sebastian's voice is insane!! I bet Patrick can do a fine job of singing in Sebastian's key!! That'd be fun!!
Paul's Bass line is a masterpiece.
Agree! Here's the isolated bass for that track: ua-cam.com/video/YecOiBE7jVE/v-deo.html Enjoy
@@k_salter Thanks man, I'm a guitarist, but this bass line always make me goosebumps
Yes

Es espectacular lo que hace Paul en esta canción!, justo que lo menciones
Brother, you just said what I’ve been saying for decades: there’s the Beatles, and then there’s everyone else.

This song is beyond words. John was on a different level of song writing on this one.
Greatest 'Rock and Roll' singer of all... JOHN LENNON!!!
I'm not the biggest Beatles fan, but there is no denying that this is a masterpiece

Billy Preston was awesome
@@pinkbeatle2012 Ever watch any videos of him when he was young? He was great from a very early age.

How can it be the first hard rock song ever made when Jimi released, "Purple Haze", over a year earlier?

Absolutely hypnotical! The Beatles are that hypnotical.. Its amazing no other band has that power.
There's something different with this version but I can't tell what it is haha.
Probably the instrumental is not the original recorded by The Beatles?
I don't know you're being facetious, but you are correct, it's THE HONORABLE RYOHEI KANAYAMA.
That intensifying noise is George’s Moog Synthesizer playing white noise. Most artists try to remove noise from their recordings. Lennon added it to
Ah guys not the final version, definitely an early demo. Should always react to the tunes with the album cover on them with the Beatles
I'm not sure what version of the song this is. It sounds different. Still great. I know you don't think of the Beatles as having long songs, but their Hey Jude song was the first single played on the radio ever that was over 7 minutes long.
Damn, this is such an intense song. It has been so long since I have heard it - forgot how cool it is. Thanks so much guys!! Now I need a drink haha..

On the Abbey Road album, 'Here Comes the Sun' is the song right after this. The contrast is amazing!!

Try to find the album version to listen to even if you don't react to it. If you like this version, and it sounds like you do, you'll be even more blown away by the album version.
Heavy psychedelic blues stuff, man. The Beatles getting nasty, f***ing masterpiece. Paul's bass line and the guitar riff in the second part are legendary
George Harrison did the solo on Let it Be. The only song Clapton played on was While My Guitar Gently Weeps. Other than classical instruments, it was very very rare for someone else to play on the songs. An exception, Billy Preston played organ on this and a few other songs on Abbey Road and Let it Be.
Eric Clapton did the solo on While My Guitar Gently Weeps after George Harrison invited him to play on it. The solo on Let It Be was performed by Harrison himself.
I'd like to take this chance appreciating this intoxicating heavy music. Lennon was really a "creative genius" in this song, especially with the white noise from Moog synthesizer and the abrupt ending if you noticed. Also the mixing of this song was the last time all 4 Beatles were in the studio together.
You just have to see The Flaming Lips cover of this, which is over 15 minutes long, jamming in from of a live audience! UA-cam has so many versions of it.
This is an earlier mix. But actually like it. That bass
As someone else mentioned, this is a different mix. Still great, but noticeably different. The guy whose channel this is from seems to always have alternate mixes on the stuff he posts - I can tell it's him by the Spanish subtitles. And again repeating what others have said, but Paul's bass playing is fantastic. He goes completely crazy in that last part. As an aside, it looks like you haven't posted anything by Badfinger. You might know at least three of their songs - 'No Matter What', 'Day After Day' and 'Baby Blue'. All great songs and well worth listening to and reacting to. They were the first band signed to Apple, and Paul wrote and gave them their first hit, 'Come And Get It', and George did some producing on the 'Straight Up' album and even some guitar playing. Besides the ones I mentioned, good ones to check out are 'Perfection', 'I'll Be The One', 'Without You' and 'I'd Die Babe'. They got screwed over badly by their management and fell apart, a really sad story. Pete Ham committed suicide in 1975 and Tom Evans 5 years later, but their 'No Dice' and 'Straight Up' albums are fantastic. 'Without You' was a big hit for Harry Nilsson in 1972 and then much later for Mariah Carey, but they wrote it and did the original. Check them out!
I had the privilege to Billy Preston back in 1993. I had always thought the Hammond organ on this song had echoes of that Ray Charles gospel vibe. I asked Mr. Preston if he plays on the track. He said " Yes, that's me" He explained that due to royalty and management issues at that time, he quietly went uncredited on the recording.. Billy Preston's masterful performance takes this song to another level. Great reaction Lads, RNB
Omg..I love this band with all my heart!!
All 4 of them were NATURAL BORN TALENTS. And they were ALL AT THE RIGHT PLACE AT THE RIGHT TIME.
kind of miraculous really.
This song is a masterpiece, but even better in context of the Abby Lane album. The transition to the next song is brilliant.
At the end, instruments came alive, they were talking to me. YAH ha ha ha, we get it! That's awesome.
Consult the model documentation
I Want You (She’s So Heavy) is a song by British band The Beatles. It was written by John Lennon but credited to Lennon / McCartney [1]. It appeared on the Abbey Road album released in 1969 and ended the first side on the original LP. At seven minutes and fifty seconds, it is also the second longest song by the Beatles, after Revolution 9, which exceeds eight minutes. This song is also famous for the fact that when it was completed on August 20, 1969, the four Beatles were reunited for the very last time in the studio.
Genesis
Haha Did you ever' imagine' you'd stir up this much contravercy? Beatles are a deeply loved band.
Beatles are the greatest band ever.
One of my very very favorites..easy to get lost in this music especially hanging out with a significant other lol
The guitar solo on Let It Be was by George Harrison. The there two officially realeased, record versions of Let It Be, and a third, video version. All have different solos, each by George Harrison. The only guest guitar solo in any Beatles song is Eric Clapton in While My Guitar Gently Weeps, otherwise all solos are John, Paul, or George. Billy Preston probably played the organ on this song. He played organ on several songs in the Let It Be/Abbey Road time period.
Abbey Road Was a work of art.
"The Beatles and everyone else!" That about sums it up ...
One of my favorite songs of them.😘
Creative for every song ever written
Notice the enormous change from their early recordings to then.
Amazing.
PLEASE react to Igor Steiner - My Way
For those too young to know-Abbey Road was finished just after the Neil Armstrong walked on the moon (and in fact the week of the moon walk was a very heavy week for the Beatles on that album and u could say they took us to the moon and back even before Apollo 11. The Beatles last photo session for the LP (August 8,1969) was done the week before Woodstock. These three events took place in a span of less than one month: The Moon Walk, The Beatles last recordings and ending, and the greatest Rock concert ever. You could might say that mankind reached its greatest peak in history and we've never been the same since. Think about that for a sec. TRULY DEVINE POWER AT WORK.
Helter Skelter by The Beatles
No. It was pure George on Let It Be. Raw and Soaring. George asked Eric to play the Solo on While My Guitar Gently Weeps. On I Want You (She's So Heavy) it's Billy Preston on Organ and it was his riff, that Haunting Bass riff at the end that was his.
One of my favorite songs on Abbey Road, no pun intended but this song is Heavy as Fuck!!!!! Love the videos guys! So glad to see this 🙌
Paul, “Ive got 13 words left oner from our last song.” John, “dont
worry, we will just use them and make a new hit song.”
Loved your reaction, so looking forward to more. ✌🏼🍏🇬🇧
Definitely recommend listening to the recently remastered versions of this song, so much heavier
This is not the album recording but awesome none the less.
Please always go to the original version. Those lyrics videos most of time didnt use original instrumentals
Hi guys. Your doing a good job, skid row before the month is over , ok ? 💘
YES, Nancy!!! Skid Row!! I LOVE the Live performance of "I Remember You" at Wembley Stadium!! Sebastian's voice is insane!! I bet Patrick can do a fine job of singing in Sebastian's key!! That'd be fun!!
This is “She’s So Heavy (Light)”. Never heard this particular version before . Great work guys!
Ringo is just cooking in the background. Underrated drummer.
Billy Preston is on Organ I just googled it. Ringo´s playing the drums of course and the wind machine whatever that is.
That wind sound is a Moog synthesizer. George Harrison had just bought one prior the the recording sessions for the Abbey Road album.
