The Beatles are a once in a millennia phenomenon. The quality & variety of work they produced in 7 short years is beyond belief. People will still be listening to & studying their music in 1000 years time.
What is dirty about it? "Lennon based the song on his childhood memories of playing in the garden of Strawberry Field, a Salvation Army children's home in Liverpool."
Stereo is multi-track recording. They did not invent multi-track recording -- in fact, at the beginning of their recording career with George Martin the standard was to record all the music to one track, all the vocals to the other track, and then mix it to the market standard mono. Over-dubbing was invented by Les Paul in the 1940s-50s. This is one of the greatest recordings in recorded music history. The other is their recording of the song "Please Please Me".
it's not a euphemism, Strawberry Fields was a Salvation Army Home near where John grew up that he used to play in the grounds of - held a lot of memories for him. Also, you missed the end of the song where it fades back up - it is pretty cool and was something else no-one had ever done before on a 'pop' single. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strawberry_Fields_Forever. George's biggest solo hit was 'My Sweet Lord' which is the biggest selling solo song by any of the Beatles. ua-cam.com/video/AR4lpQWcT5g/v-deo.html. Got a few facts incorrect. The most strained relationship was between Paul & George. They had some issues and anger when they broke up in 1970, but it was not the reason they stopped touring in 1966, which was with the screaming and primitive amplification back then they couldn't hear themselves. Paul and John made up in early 1972 - they never really hated each other
Singles were interspersed with LPs throughout their career. They stopped touring in part because they were fed up with it, and because they couldn't hear themselves play because of the screaming. They did not hate each other; they were like brothers who argued and fought from time to time.
again, you're watching the video version but not showing video. on the single version of this song, the b-side to "penny lane," (both songs wound up on side 2 of their "magical mystery tour" album,") the song fades out and comes back in where john ends the song saying "cranberry sauce" which, on the recording, sounds like "i buried paul."
The Beatles did NOT invent multi-track recording. Les Paul, for instance, created his own multi-track system (built by Ampex), and a LOT of his singles with his wife Mary Ford in the early 1950s had multiple guitar tracks and multiple vocal tracks. Patti Page released a single called "Confess" in 1947 on which she overdubbed her own voice. Phil Spector, Motown and Atlantic Studios were all using multi-track in the early 1960s, among others.
It was relatively primitive at he beginning: a second two-track machine was used to record dubs, then those were dubbed to one of the two tracks on the "main" machine. It's surprising how little overdubbing there was on the first several LP -- mostly handclapping. Amazing -- no matter how sophisticated they became, they continued to use handclapping, and it was always effective. However simple. it belonged.
This is my first time watching any of your content. I don't want to begin by being mean-spirited but . . . you are an almost completely inaccurate guide to The Beatles. Almost every thing you've said about them is either partially or complete wrong. My recommendation for getting to know them is to start with their music, and at the beginning: they began with all the established forms of popular song (listen to the Isley Brothers doing "Twist and Shout," then listen to the Beatles' version) and brought tremendous energy to their covers. Then they began to write all their own tunes in those styles. Then - because they were so inventive - they blew those forms apart: "Strawberry Fields" is a great example. On the "Revolver" album the first track, "Taxman," begins with a few seconds of studio or control room talk and tape rewinding before the song begins. A small thing but that was never done. I'm biased because I'm a complete Beatles fan. I think they are great and their achievement, for me, just keeps getting greater and greater. If you want an accurate description of their life and times you could read Mark Lewisohn's biography. Lewisohn is a great Beatles scholar. Or you could watch Lewisohn's appearance with Conan O'Brien (on UA-cam). Cheers!
Yeah, I don't CLAIM to be an authority on The Beatles. I am just a guy who enjoys their music. There are some things I got wrong... but that's what comment sections are for! Correct me! Nothing is too precious in this world to me for me to not be corrected. But THANK you for your comment. You laid out things in an awesome manner!
Hi again "A View ..." While I'm not changing my opinion that you got a lot wrong about the Beatles in your video, I also want to say that I wrote my comment because of my passion for the band, and their historical importance. While I did begin my comments by saying that I didn't want to be "mean-spirited" I just may have come across as, as our Brit friends might say, "a bit of an officious twit." My apologies. Cheers - again.
@canonrivette no no! Not at all! I respect your passion as well as the rest of the commenters here. I just like an open communication on my page. I WELCOME all comments about anything I have said in my videos! I LIKE it when people say something that may contradict what I said. It's all about truth on my page, soooo fire away :)
You have offended Beatles fans everywhere by totally ignoring the last part of the song that comes back after the fade out. Not becoming a subscriber. Your channel only insults.😮
I wholeheartedly agree, plus I don’t care much for her attitude. She’s clueless, and he ain’t much better. He keeps on presenting spurious opinions as fact, such as that John and Paul hated each other, which is patently absurd. They had a disagreement over who should become their manager and had a falling out over it for awhile. However, this does NOT mean that they “hated” each other. They fought like brothers sometimes do, but they still loved each other.
I have to disagree with your description of the Beatles' breakup as well as the description of their interpersonal relationships. Shortly before John was killed, he and Paul were in touch and discussing things like baking bread. Hopefully they were on the road to repairing their relationship.
Yep! I know. They mended fences in the mid 70s... but I think it's disingenuous to think that they DIDN'T loathe one another for a time. Not to mention the fact that they both created "diss tracks". And the entire band imploded. Yoko and all.
Dude, The Beatles were the greatest band, but Les Paul invented multitrack recording in 1945, when The Beatles were still in diapers. Also, The mellotron was an instrument that has to be played like a keyboard and not anything like sampling. Yes, it used tape loops for each note but you had to play each note yourself.
Yep... I know how the mellotron works. But trying to describe that to someone who knows ZERO about musical instruments, "sampling" is the quickest way to explain it. And also, I realize that Les invented mutitrack recording, but the Beatles amped it up by using ADT to get the results that shaped the late 60s.
YES!!! ANOTHER 'AMERICAN REACTS' CHANNEL ON UA-cam!!!! CANNOT BELIEVE IT HASNT BEEN DONE 86 MILLION TIMES BEFORE!!!!!!!!!! DO BRITISH SNACKS NEXT. CAN'T WAIT!!!
Lol. Do you have something against Americans reacting to stuff? Btw - I have also seen videos about British people sampling American foods. Just sayin’
If you haven’t, give a listen to Take 7 (Sgt. Pepper’s Super Deluxe Edition); personally, I find it is a cooler version than Magical Mystery Tour’s one. Peace out✌🏽
If you are going to base a reaction channel positioning yourself as an expert, around informing and educating, you need to have control of your subject. As the discussion of the song develops, you get looser and looser until you are just making things up. It becomes a bit embarrassing, to be honest. Strawberry Fields is not a euphemism. It is a place where John played as a child. The Beatles did not hate each other in the way that you suggest. They never stopped releasing singles. The song is called Yesterday, not Yesterdays. By the time you start implying that John and Paul fought over who would sing Strawberry Fields and the band only stayed together at that point in their career due to obscene amounts of money they were making, I started wondering whether you are really a fan at all and are actually trolling Beatles fans…..
I don’t want to be harsh in response to someone who clearly loves their music. However, your inaccuracies are quite astounding here. From the multi-track statement, through to the Beatles ceasing to be a singles band (this very track is an example of a single that was not contained on an album), the reason they stopped touring, and finally the hatred for each other. Everything stated here was incorrect. Not to mention failing to let Strawberry Fields finish. A reaction channel that isn’t familiar with the music or artist is fine. Most are in that category. But it’s probably best to fact check if you are going to “educate” as part of the reaction.
You missed the end of the track. Try the studio-version from "I'm down". It's nonsense, that they hated each other. Lots of content errors. The end of the tours came from the weariness, the stress, the danger, that Beatlemania brought with it.
I read about the band after... I would say I made content errors. Just my opinion. And it is NOT nonsense about them hating each other. John and Paul at least. Paul made a POINT to, unbeknownst to him, "make up" with John before he died. There were many lawsuits, and everything else that came into play. I'm definitely no authority on the Beatles. But come on man! Correct me and inform the group. We are all just people livin on this rock trying to do some good. :)
@@aviewfromthestage Generally: absolutely no problem. It's of course true, that McCartney and Lennon got into a fight. They even performed it musically. But it certainly wasn’t “hate.” Maybe a linguistic misinterpretation. I think, in the English language people use the term “hatred” more loosely. I'm German and if people here say I hate someone, it can end in death. In my opinion, even though I'm not in McCartney's shoes, they never stopped loving each other. It was more disappointment, some jealousy, that the group didn't particularly like Yoko Ono and Lennon was bitter about it. Yes, then also the legal stories. But that's not why one hate. McCartney gave an awkward interview after the assassination, in which he seemed relatively unconcerned. To my mind, he was in shock and couldn't even understand, what had happened. And maybe the thought also played a role: will all the Beatles be shot down now...? But definitely an exciting journey, to explore the incredible career of the Beatles...
Drug potency hasn't changed. They took mostly psychedelics that can be harmless for many people, weed too. But John got addicted to heroin which recked his life.
No they didn't invent those things. I love the beatles so i know what they did pioneer and invent, and they didn't invent that much, it's annoying when people lie to boost the beatles... they don't need it.
And who said I was lying? I wasn't. I thought I read that. And if you are looking at the comments... you will see that PLENTY of people have called me out on that :)
The mellotron doesnt sample The mellotron uses tapes and it loops the sounds. If your going down "the rabbit hole", do some research. Strawberry Fields was a children home at the rear of John Lennons home. Paul and John DID NOT HATE EACH OTHER......again do some research, you've spouted nothing but crap.

As for your other comment you made on a SEPARATE video, thanks for the comments btw, she was just speaking her mind. For everyone to agree on everything all of the time would be a boring world indeed. Don't you agree?
@aviewfromthestage I apologise if I've come across wrong. I'm a bit over possessive on the Beatles. I first saw the Beatles play in 1961 at the Cavern Club. On stage we're John, Paul, George and Pete before Ringo joined. I was 15 years old. I was there the day Mr Brian Epstein came to see them, and John made him aware of his presence and ridiculed him. I was there the 1st time Ringo joined them as "A Beatle." I've seen them live 68 times, and I've been there from the very start of their career and now to "the end" with the release of Now and Then. I still live in Liverpool, just along the street from where "The Quarrymen" recorded for the 1st time. I might a bit over the top in my responses. It's just that sometimes when people comment, I automatically think they should know the history and its afterwards I realise they don't. So I apologise sincerely 😔
@Ken_Dodds_Tickling_Stick no worries! I LOVE finding out about history, so "i" also apologize if "I" came across as being a daft prick lol. But, honestly, I love your passion!
P S. they didn't "hate eachother" the issue started with Yoko, Paul and John fell out over her actually and every Scouser you could ask will tell you SHE destroyed the Beatles 😮

They were anointed of God that's why 😮
What is dirty about it? "Lennon based the song on his childhood memories of playing in the garden of Strawberry Field, a Salvation Army children's home in Liverpool."
Yes this true. He is singing about this children's home. Hardly getting love and caring.😮
I grew up by "Strawberry Fields" which was a children's home in a village called Woolton in Liverpool. 😊😊

Les Paul invented multi track recording.
Correct, I was going to post the same thing.
Even that's not strictly true. When "Fantasia" premiered in 1940, it had a stereo soundtrack. But yes, Les Paul was a pioneer in that area.
Just a note, this song fades back in after a brief fade out.
"And your Bird Can Sing".
Once more Ringo's drumming is key for this song, like most are
Like most are what?
@@iamhudsdent2759 Ringo played to the song, he gave the timing beat to most of the songs. He had a unique sound that was key to their music.
Strawberry Fields is a real place.

"Can't Buy Me Love", "Rain". Wow - so much misinformation in this video. BTW, the name of the song is "Yesterday", not YesterdayS.

Sampling is stealing
I am the Walrus....
Uh-uh, nope, you are not -- the walrus was Paul.
This hatred statement bring a new slant on the word fiction
LSD used to be less potent??!
John dominated the songwriting, and therefore lead singing, into "Revolver".
Tsk tsk.
