listen to George Harrison - All Things Must Pass
Listen to Revolver
Lsd
@@bertrobinson4535 You're right in recommending "Revolver" which is hands down their finest album!
George Harrison makes his presence felt on "Revolver"!
"Pepper" was a Paul McCartney project!
He named the album, invented some more fictitious characters and has his granny music thrown in!
George Harrison is kind of there but not there.
His "Only A Northern Song" was rejected by Producer George Martin but it had already been ruined by the saboteur Paul's obnoxious and amateurish Trumpet playing!
The only songs I like on Pepper are "Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds", "Within You Without You" and "A Day In The Life".
The album us so overrated!
I never liked Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band".
For all I care, it could have been entitled "Dr. Pepper's Lonely Club Band".
Pink Floyd worshipped these guys. Without the Beatles and this album, none of the Pink Floyd albums would exist. This album was the first to put studio-produced sounds in an album and make it work. Without this, hip hop wouldn't exist, and pop music right now would sound vastly different. This album changed how music was produced
@Joe Schmoe SAME ! UNBELIEVABLE!!
Please let's not forget about Pet Sounds by the Beach Boys.
@@halloweenjack95
one of the best albums ever
how to forget it? I would say the best group with the best choirs in the US
@@spiyii absolutely 👍🏻
didn't revolver have studio produced sounds too?
This is widely regarded as the most important record ever, and I don’t even think it’s The Beatles best!
This album came out when I was 18. It was such a departure from anything we'd ever heard. It expanded the idea of what music could be. Maybe not their best, but definitely their most important.
@@snakelite61 absolutely. My dad tells me all the time how earth-shattering it was. A British publication (can’t remember which) said it was “a turning point in Western civilization.”
Like white album more
@@andreasfahlen4936 me too!
@@snakelite61 I like Abbey Road better than Sgt. Peppers.
I just realized that Pepper was an attempt by the Beatles to give the world emotional therapy in a pop album. Each song names a common human hangup, and then resolves the hangup by the end of the song. That's why each song has a "happy" or at least constructive ending. An album for a world full of lonely hearts.
Yes!!!! I’ve tried for awhile to explain why this album makes me feel so good and happy to be alive and you nailed it! :)
Still learning so much about this album after hearing it so many times
Your insights into “she’s leaving home” are what a person hopes for when they play that song for someone.
Keen insight
Honestly that might be my favorite Beatles song. Such a towering Aesthetic achievement.
This kid is great, he should get a job as a music critic.
Upon first listen it became one of my favorite songs of all time. It’s so SO special and I’m glad when it clicks with other people.
a day in the life
probably one of the best songs made, produced, in the history of music!
and of course a masterpiece by the beatles (especially john) :')
When John Lennon was gunned down, TIME magazine put a drawing of John on the cover along with the words, "I read the news today, oh, boy." I cried when I saw that mag...
The best of all times
"A Day in the Life" was two song parts tied together by Paul's part. Try "Strawberry Fields Forever".
@@jnagarya519 Besides being Paul's idea of the whole concept
One of The Beatles greatest songs, John came with the first lyrics but it was Paul’s idea to use ‘I’d love to turn you on”, then his middle 8 and to use an orchestra with the ascending sound. So I would say its definitely a joint song all the way, a true Lennon/McCartney.
When I was a kid in the '60's, I heard this album at a friend's house and immediately felt like I entered another world. I had never experienced anything like that before. At the time, this music was considered revolutionary. My dad was a jazz musician who also gave trumpet lessons. One of his students gave him the Abbey Road album, and soon our whole family was hooked on the Beatles, which led us to explore other rock bands like Santana, Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Jimi Hendrix Experience, Blue Oyster Cult, etc., etc. It's great seeing your reaction to this music.
It is so 'groovy' to watch younger people experience these albums for the first time. By the time the Beatles got to this period in their career, they had given up touring and had a real vacation off for the first time in almost 10 years. Before this album, they were grinding out 2, sometimes 3. albums a year along with quality singles. Even with their grueling touring and recording schedule, the quality of the material and the musical growth was nothing short of astounding. Many, including myself, consider the previous album, 'Revolver', to be their best album as well as the best popular music album of all time, but 'SPLHCB' is rightfully considered the one to have stopped the music world dead. At the time, the Beatles had not released any new material in about 9 months causing people to believe the band had simply died off. Then, it was released to the unsuspecting public. It raised the bar so high for production values and experimentation that many bands simply found no way to keep up. It is also reported to be one of the factors that drove the Beach Boys' Brian Wilson into a depressed 2 year hiatus and breakdown. It started out as a concept that the Beatles would become an alter ego marching band of sorts, but that lasted for only the first two tracks. The rest of the album was a huge experiment with new sounds and ideas. Not bad for a group of lads who couldn't read or write music. Not bad at all.
I think the concept lasted all the way through. The first track is the Beatles introducing SPLHCB and the reprise is them farewelling them. Everything in between is played by SPLHCB. The final track is the Beatles delivering a slice of reality after the psychedelic trip from the other band.
They released "Strawberry Fields Forever" as the "B"-side of a single because of the time it was taking to record the LP. It had originally been intended for the LP.
Credit Brian Wilson with filling in the knowledge about music. He was the silent, but extremely important Beatle.
@@sharidyer4332 Brian Wilson wasn't even in the Beatles!
@@tyrannosauruszeppelin2205 Of course, you are right. I got the name wrong.
This was the first album to have the lyrics printed on the back album cover!
While The Beatles were recording this classic album Pink Floyd were just down the hall at Abbey Road studios recording Piper At The Gates Of Dawn. As Lennon and McCartney were seen many times attending Pink Floyd concerts, they were familiar with the Floyd, so one day invited them to sit in on one recording session for Lovely Rita and Syd was blown away with how McCartney took a mundane person and crafted a song. He got so much inspiration that you can see comes through in his writing, as well. The rest were in awe of how The Beatles used the studio equipment and how they crafted Sgt. Pepper's as a full album and not just a bunch of singles for air play. Needless to say Pink Floyd got a lot of inspiration on how to be experimental in the studio and the ability to craft full albums from The Beatles.
As Brian May (of Queen) said, the Beatles were our Bible; they opened the doors, and we all just walked through.
@@papercup2517 awesome quote!
Cool, but I don’t think it was just the Beatles who inspired them. They were in a similar situation to them in a way. At first (especially after syd barret went away) they started releasing less than impressive albums, but if it wasn’t for years of toiling and trying that they have the status they do now
Keep going with The Beatles man you wont regret this
Keep in mind, when you listen to “Meet the Beatles” (their first American album) it too was revolutionary for its time too! American white Music was much different then! The Beatles were totally influenced by black American music and Elvis (who also was influenced by black American music)! The Beatles brought the British Invasion! The Kinks, The Rolling Stones and many other great bands!👌👍 Music, peace and happiness unites us!!!✌️Fear and hatred separates us and politicians thrive on that!!! 😱🥺
Ringo’s mantra is “Peace and Love”💙👌👍✌️😁
And to think only 4 years passed between Meet the Beatles and Sgt Pepper's!
By EARLY -- Sun Records -- Elvis. After they met him, John said: "Don't look too closely at your heroes: they have clay feet."
Why are you bringing race into a Beatles reaction???
Revolver is a magic album ⭐
That's a solid rock and roll album.
It is essentially the night club version of the Beatles performing at their peak before entering their more experimental phase
@@Lethgar_Smith Nonsense.
@@Lethgar_Smith Tomorrow Never Knows, Here, There and Everywhere, Eleanor Rigby, Yellow Submarine, For No One and Love You To don't feel all that Rock and Roll, does it?
This was a revolutionary album, no one had done anything even remotely like it!!! I think you should start at the beginning of their career and see the evolution of Rock n Roll and understand how everyone after we’re influenced by them!!!👌👍✌️😁😎
Ringos groove is unmatched, his work on this album is just so good.
This was a ground breaking album. A concept from start to finish. Many techniques used that never done before. People listened, dissected, marveled and thoroughly enjoyed it. Opening up minds to new sounds and arrangements. They brought in the sounds of India, where they had travelled. I don't believe that had ever been done before. They aren't music snobs. They draw from Vaudeville dance hall tunes, old English ballads, jugband, R & B and straight up rock and roll and of course, India in this album. Their music endures the test of time. My all time favorite album is Abbey Road. So much to enjoy from the Beatles. Their genius is to make you feel everything is possible.
George MAY have travelled to India at this point. But not all of them.
They all traveled to India before "The Beatles" (aka "White" LP).
Being one Beatlemaniac among millions worldwide since the 1960's, I LOVE your reactions, you're a perspicacious listener! You ''get it', the way their songs 'help' (pun intended), they were truly a guiding light, and remain so to anyone fortunate enough to discover their music, their impact was and remains incalculable, and the fact that so many young people are unaware of them, and yet doing reaction videos to The Beatles which will influence new generations to The Beatles is just great!
This band got me through a lot of tough times. Hard to compare The Beatles to anyone else. The other albums are worth your time. Anything 1965 and later will be like this - kinda crazy. Earlier albums are very "British Invasion" sounding a la "I want to hold your hand".
You haven't LISTENED to the LPS before 1965.
As a long time Beatle fan it was very cool watching you hear this for the first time.
Their evolution was simply incredible. From Twist & Shout to this in 3 short years beggars belief. I used to be sooo excited to get their next LP every time one came out. Always one step ahead. I honestly don't think such a phenomenon could happen again, despite all the amazing musicians before & since.
There was a lot of Musical changes going on from 1964-67.
I had forgotten how good this album is. I have not listened to it for over 50 years and it sounds even better than it did back then The sound of the band, the variety of musical styles, the musicianship, the groundbreaking originality of the songs, and it all hangs together in a way the subsequent album never did. It is a work of genius.
Wow you haven't heard it that long? I guess you wasn't a big fan. Lol
"Being For The Benefit of Mr. Kite" was based on a circus poster from the 1840s featuring an early black British circus master, Pablo Fanques (in fact, the first known non-white circus owner in Great Britain). Lennon had purchased the poster from an antique shop.
Yes and if you Google it you can see it.
I've just realised what 'a hogs head of real fire' is. A hogs head is a barrel size, and it would be wooden and set fire to and someone would jump through it.
Actually John copied it, word for word.
@@jamessmithe5490 almost word for word. Changed some things around, it doesn’t look exactly like the poster, which makes sense to make the whole song line up. I know Paul helped as well
Hello FiendJony , i am really glad to see the way you listen to The Sargent Pepper album and with so respectfull attitude . i am 64 and Beatles is a part of my life . The greatest band ever and will so be . My favorite Beatles album is Revolver but hard to say you can those a album by the mood you are in for the moment. You have great Beatles moments ahead .
That was a great review ! ..honest, positive ....very enjoyable - thanks !
“Sgt Pepper” is the Beatles’ magnum opus, but they didn’t come to this album overnight. One of my favorite things about the Beatles is how their music evolved from album to album. They started as a strong beat driven, four-piece live rock & roll cover band that made its bones playing clubs and small venues in England and Germany, and by the end of their career as a band, they’re probably the most innovative and influential studio band in music history.
Their first and second albums, “Please Please Me” and “With the Beatles” were pretty much studio recordings of their early live act, but it also included a lot of originally penned tunes, which was sort of unusual for the time, since most music artists simply recorded songs written by professional songwriters.
By the time you get to “Help!” and “Rubber Soul” (their 5th and 6th albums) they’re almost exclusively writing all of their own material, and are dabbling in a more folksy sound influenced strongly by Bob Dylan and their use of marijuana. On their 7th album, “Revolver”, which comes right before “Sgt Pepper”, they’re experimenting with, and innovating new recording techniques which they’ll perfect on “Sgt Pepper”. Also, by the time they start recording Pepper, they’ve stopped touring, which they had literally been doing for 7 years at that point, and are able to devote more time to experimenting with their sound in the studio.
When you get to “The Beatles” (aka the White Album), their 10th studio album, each of the four Beatles have come into their own as songwriters, and it plays out on the album, which is basically each of the four using the others as backing musicians on their individual songs, and you can sort of tell that they’re each starting to go their separate ways.
By the time you get to their 13th and last album, “Abbey Road” (which is personally my favorite) the band is having serious internal turmoil which would lead to their breakup, but they come together one last time to craft a fitting swan song.
If you really want to appreciate the Beatles not just as a band, but as a cultural and musical phenomenon, I recommend listening to each of their albums from first to last so you can hear their music evolved for yourself.
Great, thoughtful reaction video. Way better than most.
Great reaction you know that album came out about one year before I graduated high school and it took me years to figure out what it’s all about what you paid attention to the whole album and it seems like you really understand what you’re talking about pretty amazing
great reaction
This is great to see you enjoying this amazing music that I took for granted in my teens. The Beatles music never gets old. I hope it doesn’t get blocked. Great job. Great reaction. Keep it up. Abbey Road will knock your socks off, as will many of their other albums. Rock on.
Your reaction is very insightful! You should go back a little further and do their albums Revolver and Help before you do Abbey Road and the White Album. Great choice! This album is legendary. I first saw and heard the Beatles on the Ed Sullivan Show in 1964 when I was 10 and Sgt. Pepper came out when I was in 7th grade! I have a feeling you’re going to love the Beatles.
Absolutely. The evolution is amazing. Rubber Soul album
Help! seemed to be the beginning of the experimentation and evolution and, holy smokes, did they ever bring the goods. Most bands would be done by the time they had done that many albums (at the point of Help!), but the Beatles were just warming up. It is a phenomenon that will never be repeated.
@@longgrayline8055 That's for sure!
What great memories you must hold - I am truly jealous!
“Within You And Without You” really caught my ear this time. The interplay between Eastern and Western music is beautiful and mysterious.
A boring song
It’s indescribable how good the Beatles actually were and what they did for music. I could go on forever, but it’s also insane how good they were from such a young age, like Paul was writing songs like ‘When I’m 64’ at age 16😱
Rubber Soul is their best record imo, you should definitely react to it, I think it has those songs that you’re looking for that will get you in your feelings lol. Also the reason The Beatles are considered to be one of if not the greatest band of all time is they innovated and reinvented what rock music was and is today, it all started with them.
This so much this
Rubber Soul is up there as my 1st or 2and favorite. In My Life. Perfection. Norwegian Wood. . Ahhh
Yeah, maybe Revolver too.
Maybe the greatest??? They are hands down
250 great songs that all sound different!! You will not ever see that in you lifetime again. BTW they also changed the world while making this timeless music.
I enjoy listening to Beatles albums with you. You may not know it yet but you have hit the motherlode.
I was in college when this came out. Several of us gathered in my fraternity brother's room to listen to it. The hype had us all chomping at the bit to hear it. Some of us were little confused, including me. I recall my comment was, "It's good, but it's not really a ROCK album." That's true enough, but it takes more than one listening to begin to "get" it. It's revolutionary.
It was #1 on both the LP and SINGLES charts on some radio stations -- because every track on all their LPs were played on radio, and made at minimum Top 40.
I took a trip with a girlfriend who was introducing me to a nearby city. It was essentially a college town, and in one neighborhood it was playing out of all the windows.
hell yeah! made my night, jony. now you might ask, do the beatles have any more good albums? oh yeah.
All of them ❤️
@@imagine1004 hahaahh yeah
Do Revolver next. Such a great album, even better than Pepper in my opinion.
😂 does the Pope wear a funny hat? Does the best band ever have good albums? Indeed young sir.
Why is it, when I see young people actually getting the Beatles, I feel like I can die in peace? It's like a motherly instinct. If you know nothing on this Earth child, know this! My mission is fulfilled.
iconic album,possibly the most influential album of all time,it changed everything in recorded music,but for me,although a mega-important album,my own favourite Beatles works are Revolver,Rubber Soul,Abbey Rd,Magical Mystery tour,White album,damn......ALL of them.
My God,what a band.
This Album at the time raised the Bar for all Musicians and Music in General. Everyone had to step up there Game. The Beatles were the true Pioneers of Music Possibilities.
Everyone else chased them, but never caught them. With "Hey Jude" they were still becoming even more massive.
In the comments, Everybody loves this album. John's genius, Paul's sens of melody , Georges creativity. But few told about fantastic, amazing Ringo feeling for drumming. I'm sure that all Beatles songs won't be the same without his feeling.
This is considered the most influential album of all times. Rock music can be divided into two eras. Before Sgt Pepper and After Sgt Pepper. It is consistently ranked in music lists as the greatest rock album of all time. You listened to it correctly the first time, as a complete work. Many people just listen to a song or two and don't get the impact as intended. Even at the end of A Day in the Life that was like 6 guys on three pianos all hitting the E chord at the same time. Being the last song on the album, they even put the nonsense at the end of the song so that it would repeat if the turntable was left on. The entire album was pure genius.
Would be cool to see your reaction to the white album (their double album after this) it’s got pretty much everything, fun/deeper/sad etc
The very ending was a surprise. If you play it on a vinyl lp, you think it's over after "A Day in the Life" then those sounds are in the final grooves of the vinyl. It was really cool!
v glad to see u listening to this album, such a classic
This is rad! Watching someone listen to an album I love so much and watching them enjoy it is great!
I really enjoyed watching you vibe with an album that I’ve enjoyed for so long. Glad to see a younger generation can appreciate great music. I was born in 1982. So, it isn’t as though I was even alive when the Beatles were making this music. It just seems to resonate, despite generational gaps.
The Beatles are TIMELESS
Agreed, it makes me feel old seeing young people discover the music I grew up with even though I wasn't even born until the mid 80s lol.
There were rock bands, popular rock bands, really popular rock bands, and THEN, wayyyy out front on a separate track were the Beatles!
This album was a signal musical n technological, cultural event. In the middle of the decade this record kicked open the door to the psychedelic Sixties we all know n love.
Before this album the world was drab black white n gray.
After was ALL the colors!
We benefit from it now.
I love your Led Zeppelin reactions and now I absolutely love your Beatle reactions. The Beatles changed all music starting in the mid-60s and through the time they broke up in 1970. They were the first band that recorded primarily music they wrote rather than covers. In 1965, their music began to change - Rubber Soul, Revolver let to Sgt. Pepper. Those two albums that came before Pepper have some great music. Then after Pepper there's the White Album and Abbey Road and more so much good music to discover. Regarding Lucy in the Sky, John Lennon said it was not about drugs but was written about a drawing his little son did in school and that a lot of the imagery was influenced by Lewis Carroll (Alice in Wonderland). At the time, the whole album was considered psychedelic and trippy AND alot of people who were listening to it definitely high. That was the thing to do get high and listen to music. . . . The Beatles made a lot of great great music. Hope you check out more.
I like the way you talk about the music and stuff afterwards in depth. A lot of reactors don't really say anything.
I can't stop watching this video haha.
Hope you do some more of they're albums :D!!
Thanks for doing this! I heard this for the first time on vinyl in 2000. One of my favorite albums of theirs. It’s weird and obscure especially for that time period but so comfy.
Did the whole thing on a four track. No one had heard anything like it at the time and was a cultural phenomenon.
Just think what they'd have done with more than 4 tracks
According to George Martin, who made the recordings, it was 16 tracks.
@@jnagarya519 But he did it using four track machines.
3:39 + 4:53 + 6:24 “Good vibes!”
Exactly, that’s why this remains my favorite Beatles album. It has such good vibes and is like emotional therapy via pop music in a colorful, textured, human concept album that leaves me optimistic and happy to be alive. There’s nothing quite like it, it’s a whole magical experience!
So...I want to thank you personally and ALL the other reactors for your hard tireless work on keeping great music "ALIVE" especially from the past like the 60's 70's and 80's inspite of the blocks of UA-cam you guys are influencing young folks every where in different countries.....it is AMAZING!!! I am deeply humble and in total gratitude!!! CCR's Chronicles: The 20 Greatest Hits is No.18 on the Billboard Top 200 Album Charts and climbing this week. Legend: The Best of Bob Marley is No 19 on the Billboard Top 200 Album Charts and climbing this week. Rumours by Fleetwood Mac dropped to No. 23 last week, jumped back to No.12 on the Billboard Top 200 Albums this week. Queen: The Greatest Hits is No.8 on the Billboard Top 200 Albums this week. It is youguys keeping music alive......not a fluke!!! And I have no doubt that Yes's Fragile will probably be on the Billboard Top 200 Albums Chart soon. lol....Thanks. :)
The Beatles are absolutely timeless. 😍
Keep the Beatles journey going. Musical education never ends - never gets old, especially when it's the Fab Four.
Man, I'm sure I'm not the first person to say that getting to watch someone like you hear this for the first time, is almost like getting to hear this myself for the first time.
I really appreciate you just listening and loving this music.
This album captures a moment in time when The Beatles were experimenting with many different instruments and styles of music. They brought Indian music into the mainstream. They started the whole Psychedelic trend in fashion and music. Their next album was completely different from this one, though. The Beatles never stuck to any one style, which is why their music still stands strong over fifty years later. John and Paul complemented each other as songwriters perfectly, which is evidenced on Getting Better and A Day in the Life. The latter song is still regarded as the best rock song ever written and The Beatle's best song! This album is an interesting choice for your first exposure to The Beatles. It's very different than The White Album and Abbey Road ( 2 later albums). My personal favorite is Revolver, but this one is a close second! Rubber Soul still holds up as well. It's very hard to choose because all their albums are so good!
I have so much respect for people that will take the time to actually listen to the Beatles. Whenever I suggest that someone give them a listen they are always "ya ya" they are old. Thanks for giving it a chance!
That was enjoyable. Thanks for doing that. That album brings back memories of my youth.
You should listen to Rubber Soul by The Beatles it’s totally different from this but in my opinion even better
Also like you I recently first listened to the Beatles recently and the best way to do it I think is listen to them from the beginning to the end it’s magical
HELL YEAH, rubber soul is my favorite with revolver and abbey road right behind.
For me I think either a hard day night or the white album is my favorite but rubber soul
And sergeant Peppers is up there
Rubber Soul, Revolver, Pepper, White Album, Abbey Road... all brilliant musically.
@@christhornycroft3686 especially the white album
First time seeing your video and you. What a great reaction. So glad you are listening to the whole album. A must with this particular album. You are only the 2nd person I have seen that actually listens to all the songs. Best experience ever for anyone. You are doing great!!
Liked your reaction, dude. 48 minutes well spent. Thanks
I am enjoying your journey though the music- your reactions are so thoughtful and insightful.
Love them or hate the Beatles The one fact is that we are still talking about the Beatles 51 years after they split up .... That's proof in itself
Who hates the Beatles ? I can't imagine
An intelligent and simple(in a positive way) review from someone so young! You have a peaceful and centred approach that's a joy to listen to. Keep reviewing some of the classics from this era my friend, and I'll be with you all the way! Good vibes to you brother. 🙏
While reading a report about renovating Albert Hall, it said they counted 10,000 holes that needed to be filled. The GENIUS of John Lennon. Turned it on its head with the line
"Now they know how many holes it takes to fill Albert Hall.
The beatles lyrics, as with most 60s and 70s rock had duel meanings and metaphors. Rock never insulted our intelligence by spelling everything out for us.
Great journey, great review - thank you. Please dive deeper - more Beatles!
This was the album that elevated rock 'n roll into the nether reaches of artistry that it still enjoys to this day. It's every bit as important as Stravinsky's Rite of Spring was in 1913. New music couldn't be dismissed as mindless nonsense any more as rock 'n roll had been since 1954. (The tape loops and talking after the final piano chord fades out on A Day In The Life was not on the original Sgt. Pepper's LP.)
Well for the first time listening to the Beatles, you sure dove into the deep end. Congrats.
“Abby Road”
The Beatles best and a top 10 album ever.
Not as psychedelic.
Musically, at least, it's their best work. It created a set of sound strategies that were being used for the next decade and more.
Abbey Road is my favorite, but Sgt. Pepper held the Top Spot as the Best album of all time for over 40 years.
@@YnotNomis yes, I didn’t really elaborate. Of course Peppers is almost always #1 on lists and deservedly so.
I’m saying Abby Road is the better album musically even tho it doesn’t hold the same place in rock history.
How much do you actually KNOW about "psychedelic"? Little if anything -- it's a marketing label.
Eh, “best” varies person to person depending on how an album makes them feel. Sgt. Pepper’s is the best for me 🤷🏻♀️
ITHIS WAS ALL ANALOGUE, FOLKS! No sampling, no (relatively) easy digital editing. Producer George Martin was the real brilliance of the album. No-one had ever heard anything so layered and complicated. It's Martin who took two unfinished Lennon / McCartney songs and turned them into A Day In the Life. Strawberry Fields & Penny Lane were originally to be on this album. But Capital Records was screaming for more singles so Martin released them. He later regretted that they weren't included on the album. But they were part of the same project and would have been two hits from the albut. Amazing chops and an incredible leap for The Beatles
Very good review.....Shes leaving home was based on real event that McCartney read in a newspaper. Benefit of Mr Kite lyrics he got the idea from a circus poster that lennon bought from a shop. You have to react to Abbey Road thats my fav album of theres. Keep on reacting very good!! Day in a life was new paper stories that lennon had read
"Being for the Benefit for Mr. Kite" was written and sung by JOHN.
John Lennon got that from a circus poster. Not paul
So nice to hear these young cats diggin' on these classic albums! Sgt. Pepper Isn't the Beatles best album (that's Abbey Road) but it's their most IMPORTANT album. It's Possibly the most important album in pop music history. As amazing as the music is on the album, I suggest you to look up the meaning behind the songs on the album and how it change everything about the music industry and it'll blow your mind even further. By the way many of the songs were Banned from radio when it came out.
Sgt. Pepper's was the no-return point of the rock music history.
They were not banned on US radio. Stock talking made-up nonsense.
By the way, everything they did was phenomenal. The only band where each album may have been better than the next and every album was super solid. If you start at the beginning and listen to their albums, you will hear them evolve and mature. It’s unbelievable.
Great review man! Would love to see your do more Beatles. Abbey Road and Revolver would be my recommendations :)
I would begin with the first, and listen to them in order of release. Only that way can one appreciate their evolution.
35:58 the thing about the Beatles is that they did everything they did in like 7/8 years, so the whole run of the band is their prime. Some people just prefer different albums because they pushed their boundaries with each release. I think the kind of songs you're specifically looking for from them, you'll find in the album titled Abbey Road. This one that you just heard is more on the experimental side (although it is considered by many the best album ever recorded lol)
"The Beatles" were a kick-ass band. But you won't hear that through your snobbery that ignores their earliest LPs.
@@jnagarya519 Hi... I'm sure I said "the entire run of the band is their prime", how is that disregarding anything? I simply suggested he listened to a specific album I think he will enjoy, based on what he said in the video. This is my favorite band and I love every album, I just don't pretend they all sound the same. That would be snobbery, and that would be disregarding the talent they had for innovation. I don't think there's any need to be this aggressive over an album recommendation
Great reaction and liked some of your interpretations.
This is a fucking AWESOME react video, man!!! I didn't think anyone would have the balls to do this one! And you STARTED with Pepper?! Amazing!!! Thats like starting on Episode 8 of a show and just rockin' with it! You're starting in genius classes, my friend. 😎 I mean, you had the balls to say "I wanna check out The Beatles... lemme start with the undisputed best record ever made, that will be remembered 500 years from now!"
Dude! So fucking admirable!!!
Can I suggest "Pet Sounds" by The Beach Boys next? Its right the hell up there with this one... really!
Man, She´s Leaving Home gives me chills EVERY FUCKING TIME
Sgt Pepper was revolutionary at the time and can be thought of as the start of progressive rock. What they did technically to achieve the sound was amazing. The piano crash at the end was done on multiple pianos simultaneously. Today, it would be some software:).
The fact that Beatles fans had to wait 9 months for Sgt. Pepper added to its popularity.
"I don't want to compare..." Well, THEY compared themselves. SGT PEPPERS set a standard that just about every band tried to match, or aim to achieve. It was The Gold Standard for bands and performers for a long, long time. Even the Beatles went in another direction with The White Album - fans also couldn't help but 'compare'. (Magical Mystery Tour was sort of a 'fill in' or 'catalog emptying' because there were a lot of SGT P-era recording sessions included there.
For Kaleidescope Eyes, you need to see the movie YELLOW SUBMARINE. You'll 'get it' then.
MR. KITE is John's incredible use of a circus poster from decades ago, and he was basically writing a tune based on those lyrics. When you google that image, you'll see those words written on the poster. It's an amazing song for that reason. And fun, and so deeply 'instrumented'.
Go back to REVOLVER's LOVE YOU TO, to match with WITHIN WITHOUT YOU, and then in a year, George delivered THE INNER LIGHT as the B-side to the LADY MADONNA single. Those three tracks are pretty amazing introductions to Western audiences to George's fascination with Indian music.
One other point - all these months after your reaction - there are songs on here that bands pull out and play in the middle of the live-performances that are simply KICK ASS. Crank up FEELING BETTER, MR KITE, LOVELY RITA and audiences anywhere are guaranteed to smile, sing along and MOVE.
The mixture of musical and other sounds on this was very innovative. You would not have heard anything like this album at the time. Some of the songs were inspired by drug experiences like LSD - Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds (LSD). Within You Without You includes the sounds of Indian instruments and was probably inspired by their interest in Indian philosophy.
This great album is not only good music...it makes you think about stuff...all these years later...it truly is a masterpiece and it rocks too!!! Yeah...yeah...yeah!!!
I love that you do entire albums, man! Its the right way to check these out, since they used to make songs to fit the feel of the whole album...
Can I suggest you check out The Beach Boys "Pet Sounds" next? Its one of the most satisfying musical experiences you'll ever have, honestly.
This young man may or may not know that he is listening to Music as ART. The best Album of the 20th Century.
I say Abbey Rd is
To understand the impact of this album you have to put it into the context of the times. Listen to to music of the mid-60s to hear how different this was. The compositions and orchestration was unlike anything on the radio. Everything was moving and changing at this time, including The Beatles. This is one of the original concept albums, with the band taking on the alter ego of Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band. The Beatles had tired of of themselves-the Pop songs, the touring, and Beatle mania. It was early times of mind altering drugs that they were experimenting with. Viet Nam war was at its height. There was social upheaval, with riots and protests in cities and campuses across the country. You know how you said the songs made you feel good? We needed this album, and we loved The Beatles for it. I was a teen at the time and an older friend of my mom’s visited. We went to a record store together; he said he wanted to get a Beatles album. I showed him Magical Mystery Tour, the Beatles next and most current album at the time. No, he said, it’s got to be Sgt. Pepper’s. I don’t think he had listened to any Beatles music up to that point, but he had to have that album. Even people with no interest in pop/rock music had to own that album... and they did.
One of my most beloved albums ever. Just incredible, Beatles in their prime.
The only band that’ll ever come close to toping the Beatles......
SGT. PEPPER’S LONEY HEARTS CLUB BAND

Who you didn't mention who? Guess you mean the rolling stones
I was born when this came out. I was literally raised on it thanks to my brother and sister. They bought me my own copy along with Meet The Beatles when I was 9. I took them everywhere. Spent hours staring at the covers while listening. My favorite all time records are Abbey Road and Dark Side of the Moon. It's really fascinating watching people first time react to the Beatles and Pink Floyd as teens and adults. I'll never know what that's like.
"He didn't notice that the lights had changed" was talking about suicide. Someone blew his mind out in a car, but didn't notice that life was about to get better. He was so consumed by himself that he couldn't see things change. ✌️
Paul stated blew his mind out in a car was a drug reference. John said it was about Tara Browne's fatal car crash. But I suppose everyone can interpret it however they want, best not to state your opinion like it's a fact though, especially when it differs to what the writers said it was about.
The Beatles were in their mid 20s when Sgt. Pepper came out. They were incredibly talented. They knew how to harmonize their voices and their musicianship was superb. Pink Floyd released Dark Side of the Moon around 1973 or 1974. By that time, the Beatles had broken up. They were always better together than alone. Paul had Maybe I'm Amazed and Band on the Run, John had Imagine, George had My Sweet Lord, and Ringo had Photograph. In the end they were better as a group. I recommend that you listen to "Moving Pictures", the album, by Rush. It blew my mind due to their musicianship.
You keep picking class albums and are interested in the detail . Great .
Did You Know? In 1968 the Beatles had "Apple Recording Studio" built, in London, not only so that they could now produce their own Music, but the main reason was that the Beatles wanted to help others by opening the Studio to Musicians that couldn't afford to book Studio Time anywhere else. Pretty Sweet don't you think? Full use of Studio, Never a charge!
In the 70’s, someone came up with the idea to make this album into a movie musical. The premise was rather weak, but it gave us some really great covers. Some of my favorites are Earth, Wind, & Fire singing “Got to Get You Back in My Life”, Robin Gibbs on “Oh Darling”, and Billy Preston with “Get Back”.
And Aerosmith cover of Come together
WHEN I bought this ablum I was 17 yrs old. I loved it and still do. I grew up with this band from 1964 and witnessed them until they ended. Then onto more rock. Today's music is a let down.
5 minutes in and your're already sining along. This album really is something special.
I'd highly recommend Abbey Road as your second Beatles album. The final one they made, and arguably their best. I'd also suggest that if you're going to listen to their earlier albums, you listen to the Mono versions, as their Stereo mixes tend to sound weird through headphones.
Rubber Soul. The first indication of the Beatles that were to come.
Mono is definitely for people just getting into them. I couldn’t stand listening to the stereo versions I even changed the settings on my phone lol. Now I prefer the stereo version. You hear a lot of little things in there that are hidden in the mono versions
That's because they aren't stereo; they are pre-mixed MONO. George Martin explains all that in his book "All you Need is Ears".
@@El1society They aren't stereo. They were pre-mixed MONO.
I wish you people would inform yourself by reading Martin's book: he made the recordings and supervised the mixes.
Sir, your takes are excellent and correct!
The important thing to remember about rock music and the 60's in general is that it started out as a positive light-hearted decade but things like the Vietnam war and racial issues changed the message of the young musicians in England, U.S.A and beyond.
What made this album great for us living in the times was that it was ground breaking in many ways. The production was something else and as the Beatles weren't touring anymore, their restrictions were off them to have to try to reproduce the songs on stage. This album greatly influenced other bands including Pink Floyd.
...and all this was done using a 4 track system...
