Saw Ringo live in 2019 and it was a great show. His All Star Band carried a lot of the load, but Ringo delivered. And he closed the show with "A Little Help From My Friends".
Don't forget, when this album came out in June '67, it spent 27 weeks at number 1 in the UK and 15 weeks at number 1 in the US. It was everywhere and marks a c-change in human consciosness. Great reaction fellas :)
When we returned from Congo in 66 to the USA after several years, it was an entirely different country. My dad said, "Well, while we were gone, the Beatles and the birth control pill happened. Everything we knew is gone." Wise man spoke truth. No one had any restraints, nor personal accountability after this...
Fella's, The Beatles opporate in another Dimension. They had contemporaries but no competition. They set the pace throughout their career. Wait till you get to a "Hard Days Night". Pure craft from the #1 band on the planet.
I enjoy the vocal interplay within this song. In the first and second verses Ringo is asking the questions. In the second and third verses, as well as the bridges, they start to switch it up with his friends now posing the questions to him. 😊
I got this album the week it came out. The first thing that hit me was the recording quality. It sounded so much richer, better than any thing before it. Then they upped that quality with the white album! I assume it was advances in studio equipment. It was '67 I think. And each song ran to the next one without a gap. That was a 1st for me too. Also, Ringo is left handed but had to learn on right handed kits. Part of his uniqueness I think.
Joe Cocker made it his own with a little help from his friends Leon Russell's arrangement and Mad Dogs and Englishmen backing. Its easy to enjoy both versions because they are so different from each other.
Probably my favorite song, from my favorite album. The harmonies, friendship, optimism, and Paul's fantastic walking bass warm my soul. Adding to the sweetness, Paul wrote the song for Ringo, and tailored it to his vocal range--he had to work to hit that last note. 🙂 I think the more your hear this track, the more you will like it. Paul's plays magnificently on this track--and the entire album. I often focus on just his bass. Thanks for doing Sergent Pepper, I hope you love it.
You always have to listen to The Beatles with respect to the era they were coming out with this material in. Nobody was doing anything remotely close. The Kinks surpassed them early on but do to inner conflicts and managerial problems they were stifled and never reached the heights that they deserved to reach. In overall creativity, they couldn't touch The Beatles.
Awesome song that Joe Cocker made his at Woodstock, but the original is sublime and Ringo is perfect singing it. One of my top 5 albums ever and this song was a reason why. The Beatles forever! Thanks guys and enjoy the rest of this Masterpiece! 🔥🎵🎸🎤🎸🎤🎸🎹🎶🔥
Another fantastic reaction La/Chee In my opinion this is a special album by the boys from Liverpool. It’s an amazing journey of their artistic style. They are all over the map when it comes to genre of music. They just did what came to their heart and soul. This album is a banger. In my opinion I could not find one bad song. Keep on doing what you are doing.
Joe Cocker's "Little Help" and "Bathroom Window" were the two best Beatles covers that have ever been made. Totally made them into something else, and the something else was awesome.
Maybe the best cover of any song ever! Joe Cocker and Mad Dogs and Englishmen (with Leon Russell) (cut and paste) Joe Cocker - Mad Dogs & Englishmen - With A Little Help From My Friends
Love the reaction. I never get tired of hearing this and when Ringo jumps up the octave to that E4, and it's really well supported, and he holds it, with all those incredible harmonies around it? Oh my God it's just great. The bridge pulls you up into the atmosphere to some degree, with those powerful backing vocals taking the lead, but when Ringo's voice comes back in on the answer parts, the chords and the composition and the rhythm and the words work together to insistently steer us right back to something very basic. He just wants someone to love.
I’m so HAPPY that you’ve gone to work on this album. When it was released I was a young fellow, not yet working, but managed to buy it myself somehow. This and Magical Mystery Tour (which you should also go through start to finish) were like cosmic psychological missiles fired into my head, by way of my ears. And now at age 68, they’ve never lost relevance or importance.
I highly recommend the Carpool Karaoke with Paul in Liverpool. It's pretty great. They visit places, including Paul's childhood home, where he lived when they started to get big. Also check out the deleted scenes.
Gentlemen, arguably the greatest Beatles song of them all , “A Day in the life” is from this album. I simply can’t wait to see you guys react to that one. Peace!✌🏽
I am listening to the Beatles since 1965 when I was 8 years old. And to this day they remain etched in my heart. The greatest band ever. I was mesmerized, the sound was surreal. They changed the World. In this song Ringo Starr shines. From Ringo I like I am the Walrus, Yellow Submarine and Photograph. Thank you for the memories
Most people will (rightly) go on about how with its arrangements and complexities Sgt Pepper revolutionised music, but I think it's easy to forget that behind all that the Beatles never lost the skill of writing and brilliantly performing perfect little pop songs like this
The Ringo song on the first concept album and the greatest album in the history of pop / rock. You listen to this music 55 years after you first listened to it and you still find little delicious new tidbits of musical genius.
Such a jaunty little tune. Loved it then and still do. Joe Cocker made it so much different but both are fine. Joe and the Beatles were great friends too IIRC. I can't wait for Lucy in the Sky. A whole nother place.
Yes, Ringo probably didn't have the vocal versatility of a Joe Cocker, but Ringo's singing is very smooth with a nice register. Ringo gave a recent interview this year where he said John and Paul sprung this song on him at the end of the day's recording session because they both knew Ringo was a bit nervous about singing a lead vocal. But he did alright in this one! Ringo said he was nervous at the end because Paul was pushing Ringo to sing that last high note he holds to end the song, and said he was relieved that he got through that take.
Second comment, same album. Love how much you gets are "in" these mixes. Had to smile ... when La says, "check out that bass." Sir Paul definitely placed his bass MUCH more prominently in this album, and going forward. Before, he was more in the background. Lucy In The Sky is next up ... pretty amazing work there (and all), but Mr. Kite is extra special. Hope you guys post all your review of SP here.
@@AirplayBeats But in all seriousness, as much as I complain, without UA-cam how woukd we get classic things like Gene Krupa from the Sullivan show.. ua-cam.com/video/fyAUKU_ImNg/v-deo.htmlsi=cSPpb_3R81U2eXsf
Fyi...Ringo is 84 years young, still playing the drums and singing, and looks great! Amazing Ringo 🤩
Saw Ringo live in 2019 and it was a great show. His All Star Band carried a lot of the load, but Ringo delivered. And he closed the show with "A Little Help From My Friends".
The amazing Ringo Starr! No one else like him.
@@tackysum Saw him in 2022 and had the same experience.
Ringo just celebrated his bday here in LA. bloke looks in his 40s or 50s.
Ringo and Bill Ward have those deep style voices.
@@GinnyRobertsonLLC 😀 He did all the hits we expected except Act Naturally.
It's amazing that Joe Cocker made this into an entirely different tune, but the Beatles' version still is so soothing to listen to.
Cocker did his in 6/8 time, among other changes.
Love Ringo but Ringo vs. Joe Cocker? No contest but nice song
RIP💜 Joe*
@@jimmoore8951 word* no contest
@@jimmoore8951 joe's version is more soulful Ringo's equally soulful in a more lofty or gentle side. Or so i belive.

Yes, talk about a cultural touchstone, it caused many 1,000s to start a band. They gave permission for music to be far more than a 3 minute single.
@robinfoster7597 Sea change.
Paul's bass line makes me smile.
Always.
@@Grizazzleespecially on Sgt Pepper tho. The more deeper bass sound of the White album is great too
Paul is one of the best bassists of all time. Most people have no idea just "how" good he is.
In the upbeat songs it has this delightful “doop-de-dooo” bounciness to it, like the footsteps of a happy Sasquatch.
SAME!!!
That bass line is just genius.
The Beatles were unstoppable back in those days and the momentum and explosion is still felt all these years later. They were that good
They are still unstoppable!
@@dimitrioskarastamatis4919 you’re absolutely right my friend only a Malakka would think otherwise!!! 😝!
I’ll get by with a Little help from Laa and Chee!!! And the Beatles!
HELL YEA
This song is so true to life!! Excellent reaction, fellas!!! 😊❤👏🙏
This song is true to life!! Excellent reaction, fellas!!!😊❤👏🙏
That " get high with a little help from my friends" was radical beyond belief back in 1967!
Speaking of the Wonder Years/ Joe Cocker version, Jimmy Page is playing guitar on that version.
Ringo aka the 1 and only billy shears
Every Beatle album from Rubber Soul on is an 11 out of 10.
Wrong! Every Beatles album is an 11 out of 10
@SenorDesmadre you think A Hard days Night and Please Pease Me aren’t top notch albums?
Strawberry fields forever 💖Magical mystery tour💖
While the Stones, Zeppelin and a couple others are in the conversation but when all is considered The Beatles are the GOATS!
I think you guys did the Joe Cocker cover from Woodstock.. One of my favorite covers ever..
The Beatles took us to a new level, a higher existence that transcends us even now 50 years later!
When we returned from Congo in 66 to the USA after several years, it was an entirely different country.
My dad said, "Well, while we were gone, the Beatles and the birth control pill happened. Everything we knew is gone."
Wise man spoke truth. No one had any restraints, nor personal accountability after this...
It just keeps getting better!
It's getting better all the time ...

I love how John and Paul wrote songs for Ringo.
Ringo 🔥🔥🔥🔥
This song feels like an old friend. 💜💜💜

Love your Beatles reactions... It will be enjoyable to see you guys react to the White album
When the Beatles heard Joe Cocker's version of this song they were blown away, they loved it so much they told him " This is your song, man"
Undoubtedly the greatest band of all time

Always loved Ringo. ❤
Yes…Ringo definitely gets by with a little help from his friends 🤣🙌🥁
Great to see you both tackle this one! I appreciate what you provide via your channel!
100%
Almost every singer has sung a Beatles song. They usually had at least on song for Ringo to sing and this was his song.
This is one of the most joyful Beatles tunes, coupled with some of the best bass PMC has played (the whole album, really)
I often think the same thing. Paul's bass is amazing, so melodious and playful, fitting the songs perfectly. I often focus on just his bass.
Joe Cocker made it his own with a little help from his friends Leon Russell's arrangement and Mad Dogs and Englishmen backing. Its easy to enjoy both versions because they are so different from each other.

Alright. I’m all in
The Beatles are Gods gift to his children… They always put you in a good mood… Magical! GOATS and NO one’s close!

Absolutely everything about this album makes me smile. If I'm feeling out of sorts, hearing this album is guaranteed to give me a lift.
I was 6 when this came out. My older cousin played it for me and my sister. I’ve heard this thousands of times. It still gets an emotional reaction.
I was finished with my freshman year of college when Sergeant Pepper first came out. I still have the album.
Awesome song that Joe Cocker made his at Woodstock, but the original is sublime and Ringo is perfect singing it. One of my top 5 albums ever and this song was a reason why. The Beatles forever! Thanks guys and enjoy the rest of this Masterpiece!
🔥🎵🎸🎤🎸🎤🎸🎹🎶🔥
Joe Cocker sang this song at Woodstock. The Beatles loved it
top 5 album of all time - of any genre..
This version + Joe Cocker's version = Musical Enlightenment.
Together, for me, they constitute a mind-opening rush of musical understanding.

Made me smile with nostalgia. Thanks guys.
Great reaction. Great tune. All my best to you and yours from Liverpool
Was lucky enough to have seen Ringo sing this!!!
If this song doesn’t make you feel amazing, you are not human.
That song is so good.
A Ringo Special.
Joe Cocker's "Little Help" and "Bathroom Window" were the two best Beatles covers that have ever been made. Totally made them into something else, and the something else was awesome.
This was like my 3rd album I listened to at 12 yrs. old. It was so different & I was just hooked on R&R after that. Great R & R group!!!!.
The first LP I had bought in my teenage years. 🎶🎶🎶👍😘🙋♀️

"What do you see when you turn out the lights? I can't tell you but I know it's mine." Love it!!
You know guys, more than one person has said this is the greatest album ever made.
Best band ever!
Amazing album from top to bottom.
Another great Beatles reaction
Anything Ringo sings. This was a great album!

The vocal stylings of Ringo.
Going to enjoy this one! It's going to be one of your classic shows!
Ringo singing, a rarity to hear his voice as the lead vocal, they could all sing very well.
Nice to see the deeper cuts of The Beatles.

Thank you for the memories
Don’t we all?
Totally agree! Cocker's version smokes!!!
These songs were my nursery rhymes ,the album is a book of them
Need this one today Gentlemen..thank you. ✌️😎
Ringo didn't think her could do that note at the end, the other three convinced him he could, and he did.
...classic!

Love the backup singers! ❤ Keep em coming, gentlemen!
I cannot wait for you to react to A DAY IN THE LIFE. That will blow your mind
".... how fire the group band was..." Very nice!!
Such a jaunty little tune. Loved it then and still do. Joe Cocker made it so much different but both are fine. Joe and the Beatles were great friends too IIRC. I can't wait for Lucy in the Sky. A whole nother place.

Elton John's cover of "Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds"
is Amazing....!
I can't believe you have Lighthouse Live on the wall behind you!
WOW! I've never heard any covers to this song. Learn something new on this channel! This is one my favs since I was a kid. Never gets old!!!
This is a ton of fun,guys-- you're going to LOVE this album!! Enjoy. T
That's Paul on the bass. He could play!
Written by John, for Ringo to sing.
This song gives me the hugest smile!
