Gabe has been slowly warming up to the Beatles. He has enjoyed the later stuff. Nick has him listen to Let it Be for the first time ever. This is easily one of the Beatles best songs.

What Gabe doesn't get is before the Beatles there was 1950s Rock n Roll. Michael Jackson was the King of Pop but it was the Beatles in the early 60s that ushered in Pop which was a totally new sound. The Beatles are credited for creating at least ten different genres. They were together for only 7½ years but just about every few months they transformed music into something never heard before. They invented and reinvented music like none other
I think the Beatles music matured along with their audience. We all grew together.
This was my journey .... I was 11/12 when the first single came out and around 15/16 with Magical Mystery Tour and Sgt Peppers and 18 or so when they split up. In later life I went back to the early 'pop' albums ..... the first 4 albums...... and really enjoyed them, singing along !
Billy Preston was the premier organist & keyboard player in the world when this was recorded and he is the only artist to share label credits with the Beatles on the #1 hit called Get Back, also from the Let It Be album.😮😊
What you reacted to is the single release of Let It Be, released two months ahead of the album. The album version of Let It Be has stronger guitar work in the bridge and in the latter part of the song. I said at the time it was a shame they rushed the single out because the stronger guitar adds tears to the song, making it much better. That's long time friend Billy Preston on keyboards. He played with several bands and had a pretty successful solo career as well.
Yes that's Linda McCartney taking the photos in the video. Yoko added strain to an already strained band as she was always with John. But I think she was just the easy scapegoat for the band breaking up. After they quit touring they just didn't spend much time together. George was tired of only getting two of his songs on albums. Paul and John rarely worked together on songs. Ringo just was tired of the all bickering in the studio. Things really started falling apart after their manager (Brian Epstein) died. Then came the major disagreement over who would handle their business and finances. Paul wanted to start performing live again, George and Ringo were indifferent, and John had little interest in touring. There was far more to their break up than just Yoko Ono.
I agree with you about the album version. Far superior to the single version, mainly because of George's guitar solo but also because of the horn section recorded in that January 1970 session.
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Nice to hear someone who isn't immediately on Yoko's case. Totally agree on the far superior album version,and George's solo.
@thereunionparty I don't know about "horn section". George Martin added orchestration in January 1970 which included brass and strings.
@@normandavidtidiman9918 Brass is a horn section isn't it? According to the Beatles Bible channel, in their "On This Day" Community post about the Beatles' last recording session (minus John), there were two trumpets, two trombones and a tenor saxophone recorded onto track 5 by session musicians.
I find it a little irritating when you dismiss their earlier as less mature. They were in their early twenties, so of course it was. Disliking the earlier music is of course completely fine, but commenting about maturity feels silly. Realise that without the earlier music, you wouldn't have their later music - it is development.
Regarding the solo...there are two versions, this was the single version where George is playing guitar through a Leslie speaker which is normally used with a Hammond Organ, on the LP version the solo is a distorted guitar.
The album take solo is far superior IMO
@@normandavidtidiman9918 100% agreed
The Beatles are the most important influential and inspirational musicians ever. Let it Be was sung at Live Aid. So emotional .Paul said Mother Mary refers to his own mother who passed away tragically when he was young. Also British musicians have always championed black musicians who were appalling not given the recognition they deserved in the USA. David Bowie even lambasted MTV to their face for not playing black artists in the eighties. Amazing
The Beatles woke up the music industry.
I was with the Beatles from the beginning right when they premiered on TV in 1964.
They changed Music!
Their early music was revolutionary for 63-65. Great songs, but the era then was different.
The Beatles loved everyone... Black, White, Brown, Red, Green, Purple, Gay, Straight, whatever.,. The Beatles are THE BAND!!✌️❤🎸🤟🔥
They preferred green people when they weren't so "lime"-colored.
The Beatles had begun the process of disbanding before Yoko's arrival with each member having desires of exploring individual pursuits
Not Stevie Wonder but Billy Preston, the only commercial recording artist to have ever been invited and allowed to play with The Beatles inside the studio in an official capacity.
They evolved so quickly as songwriter's that only 33 months separated Love Me Do and Yesterday
Yes it was Linda McCartney taking photographs; she was quite a well known photographer and, of course, during her time with The Beatles took pictures of many well known musicians and famous people. That little box Billy Preston was fiddling with was known as a Stylophone, which was a small electronic music device, which started being produced in 1968; it had a small keyboard that was played with a small wand that was connected to the box by a wire, so completing an electrical circuit. David Bowie famously used it on his first hit record ‘Space Oddity’, which some will know as ‘Major Tom’. Billy Preston also can be seen playing on the rooftop on The Beatles ‘Get Back’ recording/film. The mid to late sixties was quite a time to grow up; I turned 16 in 1969.
One thing to remember is that the Beatles were a rocking band from the start. The contrast came in what was popular before they entered the scene. Pop music in 1960 was moving away from that new fad a few years ago called Rock & Roll.
The Beatles came on the scene and rocked out I Wanna Hold Your Hand and such. It was so good that labels went in search of bands, especially from England, to meet the demand.
If you think Beatles early Pop was too soft, listen to what Pat Boone was doing before they showed up.
@Uatu-the-Watcher, I AGREE, that is the one thing that a lot of young people DON'T understand. They have NO idea WHAT the music we were listening to about a year before the Beatles hit here in the U.S. SO HOW can they tell us that they were too soft, or jingly like. It sure WASN'T, it was AMAZING!!
Billy Preston the keyboard player was coopted in to be a critical part of this project. The Beatles had met him around 1960 in Hamburg when he was working with Little Richard and knew that he was the guy they needed to handle the keys. Little Richard always insisted that the Beatles picked up their famous " WHOOO " while watching his performances in the club in Hamburg and I wouldn't doubt that for one second .
When the Beatles first gained traction (after 5 years of playing together) More than 90% of the record market were American teens from 12-15 years old. Their early songs were a marketing plan to become big, then they did mature and do more what they wanted, instead of just what numbers they would get.
Norhing touches the early Beatles stuff and its what the majority of the fanbase loves.
Stuff like i want to hold your hand ,Please ,please me , She Loves you ,All my loving ,drive my car ,Yesteday ,Nowhere Man ,Paperback Writer,Im Down,Help ,Hard Days Night, The Night Before,Im down , If i fell ,She a woman , You cant do that,i feel fine, things we did today,Norwegian wood, etc are probably as popular as anything else done on revolver,Pepper,Magical Mystery tour, Abbey Road,Let it Be and White Album ..
It's definitely not merely poppy , light stuff...
Totally agree with you. I am 77, was 17 for most of 1964 and I LOVE their earlier songs, STILL DO, probably because that was when I first fell in love with them and their music, it was a VERY SPECIAL and FUN time for me. The Beatles were young too, but with each album they progressed and evolved. It's just like you have to learn to crawl before you can walk, and walk before you can run. It's the same thing with music, or dance, it will GROW and change. We fans grew and changed along with the Beatles.
This is by far Harrison's best guitar solo, especially when the light fuzz was added.
You can always tell when John is playing base because his concentration is always so intense. It reminds me of when I learnt to play guitar - every finger placement was watched with total concentration! :)
Paul McCartney released a solo album in 1982 called Tug of War where you'll find a duet with Stevie Wonder "" Ebony and Ivory "" ❤
i am sure they meant billy preston
@Mediawatcher2023 They did mention Stevie Wonder....mine was a suggestion of a duet they could look at.
@@roseoconnor5938 Stevie Wonder never appeared in let it be it was billy preston
@@Mediawatcher2023 That's correct....but they did mention Stevie Wonder ! You've made your point...
Early on, they were basically a really great cover band with a few of their own songs thrown in. As they matured, so did their music.
I completely disagree. Much of there early work was masterful & influential & wonderful ! Yes, they did some covers, but their original early songs led the way. All My Loving, I Saw Her Standing There, A Hard Days Night, And I Love Her, Ticket To Ride, Help, Yesterday,...and many, many more early period songs are classic & great!
@@dannygriffith6185 I should have been more specific: I was referring to their live work in Hamburg and the Cavern Club. If you look at those set lists, they were almost entirely covers.
@@xchiro1818 Yes you SHOULD have said that you were referring to their Hamburg and Cavern Club days before they had a record contract. They did mostly covers then with a few of their own songs as well. But we took it as you were talking about their earlier records. Yes the first two albums in the U.S. and some on the U.S. "Beatles Second Album" had some covers on them (and their covers are FANTASTIC, I LOVE them) but still had more of their own songs.
1960 record companies wouldn’t release a single if it was 3+ minutes. Radio programmers wouldn’t play it.
British radio was two BBC channels that were definitely not ‘down with the kids’, plus Radio Luxembourg, which was.
1964 Radio Caroline came along, a ‘pirate radio station’ broadcast from a ship outside of British waters. Several others followed.
1964 to 1970 everything changed, music, fashion, design, tech. The Beatles were riding on the first wave.
@AlBarzUK The Beatles weren't just "RIDING" on the first wave.....they STARTED it! Our hairstyles, fashion, music CHANGED BECAUSE of the Beatles. Boys (and girls) started growing their hair long, and when they other British bands started pouring in to the U.S. that increased the hair, fashion and music that STARTED with the Beatles. The Beatles OPENED the door for all the other British bands and singers, as well as the MOD fashions that were created initially by Mary Quant in London, and U.S. Teenagers (like me, I was 16/17 years old in 1964) GLADLY jumped on all that and wanted to look JUST like the Beatles girlfriends with the longer straight hair and bangs, plus the style of clothes the British girls wore, same with many of the teenager boys who wanted to LOOK just like the Beatles and many of them started learning guitar and drums and forming their own bands. It was a WONDERFUL time for us then
In their early days they had to conform to the record industries restraints like all singles have to be less than 3 minutes. In fact it was the Beatles that eventually broke those rules and produced singles longer than the 3 minutes.
Billy Preston on the keyboards
It's a shame this version does not have the amazing guitar solo that appears in the album. Thanks!
G'day Guys!!! Gabe has to realise that in 1962/3 when the Beatles had their first hit songs the charts were full of stuff he would consider "jingles" Go back and listen to some Lesley Gore, the Crystals, the Four Season, The Shadows and the Tornados...Yes there was Elvis but the rest was pretty much MEH!!! I am 73 and I grew ups with all this stuff... Cheers!
The "Get Back"documentary is over eight hours long. This version is from the single "Let It Be". I by far prefer the version from the "Let It Be" Lp. George plays a much harder guitar solo.
That was Billy Preston playing with them. He stopped by the studio while they were recording the "Let It Be" Lp. They invited him to play on the track "Don't Let Me Down". They had such a good time they invited him to play on the entire album. Ever since he's been known as the "Fifth Beatle" on that album. You two really listen to the Lp version of "Let It Be".
Like I stated, Harrison kills the guitar solo. Would love to see your reactions and thoughts on this one.
One footnote here,
Preston and The Beatles had a long history going back to 1962 when they met in Hamburg, Germany. Preston was only 14 and an organist in The Ray Charles Band. The Beatles had been playing residency's in Hamburg since 1960.
The Beatles were older than Preston but they liked him an they became friends.
George Harrison was the baby in The Beatles. In 1962 he was 19, Paul 20, and John 22. I don't think Ringo was even in the band yet, he didn't join until September, 1962.
Pete Best probably would have been their drummer up until they fired him in September and Ringo then joined.
Ringo and Preston would have at least been aware of one another in Hamburg.
He was a member of another Liverpool band name Rory Storm And The Hurricanes. I think Paul was even dating Rory's sister at one point or maybe it was George. The Beatles were very good friends with Ringo at that point.
These musicians were all in the same circles so yeah, Ringo and Preston would most likely been aware of one another. Hope this info was helpful for the two of you.
Peace ❤❤😅
Thank you for the info. I had no idea Billy Preston was so young when he played with The Beatles.
They should react to his song “Will It Go Round in Circles”. Or “Nothing From Nothing”. 🔥🔥🔥
Like Marty McFly in back to the future, if they hit you with their later works in the beginning you wouldn't be ready for it 😂
Absolutely!!
Early Beatles were the way music was. Help basically started every thing changing. If there were no Beatles you'd still be listening to twist and shout today.
This song is about his mother who died who came to him in a dream and said let it be hence why he wrote the song
The piano player was Billy Preston (the fifth Beatle)
It’s the best song of all time
I am n my late 60’s
I grew up with the early stuff.
I loved it.
When they took the India trip, and dabbled in weirdness, I went right off them.
Only about 10 years ago, I started to love Sgt. Pepper.
That's Linda Eastman of The Eastman Kodak photography empire, the future Linda McCartney!
"The Long and Winding Road" from the same album, please.
It’s coming
@@BoringReviews Please not. One of the lamest Beatles-tracks ever. There are roundabout 200 more interesting tracks of the band.
lol. We have actually already recorded it.
@@BoringReviews Aargh. Shocking... 😄By the way, I suggest the early tracks Twist and shout, Long tall Sally, I'm down (only the studio version), You can't do that, Money (that's what I want) for reactions.
@@braudabo It's not boring to a LOT of us. I LOVE it and I can relate to it as well, especially now that I am in my 70s. It makes me very emotional, it's a beautiful song. I am glad they will be reacting to it. Don't worry, I am sure they will do more
That was Linda taking pics. She was a photographer. There is a better version, in my opinion, which has a grittier guitar solo. That was Billy Preston, not Stevie Wonder. He played on "Get Back". That was a guitar but George was using an effects pedal. There is a version of this song where the guitar just uses distortion and that is my favorite version.
Back when The Beatles first started out radio stations wouldn't play songs longer than 2 - 2.5 minutes
Try oh darling and come together
They're best song.
I LIKE your T-shirts !!!!!
That was Billy Preston, brought in by George to play keyboards. Billy was one of the many musicians that Little Richard used to use in his backing band, the Upsetters. The Beatles were number one fans of Little Richard; Paul McCartney will often mimic Richard's singing style. Anyway, they knew Billy from those days. If you watch the Disney film documentary "Get Back" George had enought of Paul's bossiness and John's snide remarks about his (George's) songs and quit the band. It took several negotiations before George would finally come back, and when he did, he had Billy in tow with him. Cured the Beatles of their bitchiness in these sessions as they all loved and respected Billy. John even asked Paul if Billy could join the Beatles, to which Paul's response was "it's bad enough with just 4 people.". So it never happened, and they broke up. Too bad. Would have been awesome to see the Beatles performing live again with Billy on the keyboards. Listen to the song "Get Back"-a McCartney song, and you will see how integral Billy's keyboard playing is to that song.
This version has Billy Preston's organ solo. You can faintly hear George Harrisons guitar solo because it was muted down on this version. For whatever reason, the single and album versions highlighted different instrumental solos even though they were originally recorded together.
He would have liked the album version more with the charp guitar solo
The Blonde Lady you see taking the photographs was in fact paul's first wife linda and you have you noticed the little girl its actully linda's daughter heather the black guy was actually billy preston not stevie wonder. Can i make a suggestion if you going to do a reaction video seeing a band for the first time do some research first so you can get a better understanding.
Billy Preston was the best organ player in the world when this was recorded. The Beatles with Billy Preston/Get Back😮😊
I actually like early Beatles a bit more than later Beatles. Love all their music. BUT. What’s wrong with great pop? The moment it comes on I am happy and young again.
I think its just the production for him. The early days have a softer production, you can hear less bass and drums and maybe more flat. And the style changes, the guitar sound got a lot more charper in the late 60s. This is still considered as the norm now.
@FavoriteMovieDate That is me as well! Their early music just makes me feel so happy again, it's joyful and lifts my spirits, especially when I am down. It DOES make me feel young again, as it does for you
I notice that a young Cillian Murphy just couldn't help photobombing in there at 6:01 lol [joking of course]
Great stuff guys, classic, classic song!
Billy Preston was on the keys!
Great song from a great band, never will there be anything like them again. Also YOKO did not break up the Beatles..They reached there peak as The Beatles and where each looking at new directions in there music. Harrison was first to quit then come back, then John quit and didn't want to come back. Then Paul quit and announced it to the press which made it official...It was the press at the time blamed Yoko because she was Japanese
It wasn't Michael Jackson It was Billy Preston.
Yoko is as good as gold. Done some good albums.
Billy Preston/Space Race😮😊
Billy Preston
i hate that channels say "official video" but post bootlegs
There more mature music starts with rubber sole
bottom 10
my god, you black guys gotta get over your worship of rap. i'm glad to see you're broadening your outlook a bit. when i was in my 20s i was into all genres of music. jazz, classical, fusion, blues, swing, hank williams and all genres of rock from the 50s through the 70s. but rap freaks seem to be stuck in some fantasy world of some kind. i don't get it. rap ain't that good.
anyway, thanks for checkin' out the beatles. i'd reccomend 99% of their discography. they started out new, exciting and energetic and progressed to vistas never achieved in music before or since. the beatles lasted on record for 7 years and in that short time they became LEGENDS! and deservedly so.
there's 3 versions of this song. there's the version from the film "let it be." the single version which i think is being played here. and the version on the "let it be" album that features a kick-ass guitar solo in the middle and at the end. that's the version i like. check it out. thanks for the video.
If you don't like early Beatles - then you don't like 60's music. It's not like with Jay-Z that's not an accurate analogy.
In the early 60's rock n roll was almost dead, the likes of the Everly Brothers and Roy Orbison helped keep it alive, but there music had a very 50's sound. When The Beatles came along, they created a new sound, a sound so big it became the norm what was known as the 60's. And as the decade went along, The Beatles grew the industry from babies to men. You make it sound like there was his amazing sound going on in the early 60's, and The Beatles came along with their sound, then matured into what everyone else was doing - you have it backwards Friend.
@smartenuphumans WELL SAID!!!
Fake Paul.
I hate this song. When I was like 15, my music teacher made us all sing a song and i got this this crap. Voice breaking all over the place.
Voice still in soprano mode and im 30 and 6ft 😒 more like let it f*** off...
Sorry, im bitter... 😠
I hated this song too. In my opinion, 11:10 one of their worst songs they ever recorded.
@@anitawhite2669 Do you know what's wild? I don't make new years resolutions per se but I try new things.
I've just started a short novel. No title yet, but it's about the mystery of Lord Bertrand Whistlehog's death.
One of the main characters is a detetective called Anita Sharpblade.
I'm writing it for my bf. As it's in very early stages, I don't have a description for her appearance.
It would be awesome if an actual Anita could help me out with a description of Detective Sharpblade.
(She's a badass with a well protected heart of gold) and her partner is Gregory Melancholy, a shy but courageous in times of need fellow.
If you could Imagine what Anita Sharpblade would look like please tell me. (I am dedicated to her having red hair, though) 😊
