I love Paul's expression starting at 1:57. There's real joy, affection and admiration. It must all seem like some distant, incredible dream to him now...
It's more than obvious that Paul was expecting John to forget the lyrics, but he didn't so Paul was just disappointed. Paul was very nervous he forgot the lyrics in the first time of the chorus, both were actually nervous because of the screams , I think is hard to play and sing when girls are screaming at you and you have an Armónica around your neck
I think it must be so odd for him if Paul watches these videos now, to see himself next to John and with all the screaming girls (I guess his fans now are way less hysterical at his shows) and to remember beatlemania with the four of them altogether...😢😢
@@agnethawings4930 HA! thank U. that was a very fun video. I always thought rock stars lives would be SWEET. But I never could have imagined their life until I read Patty Boyd's book. UN FRIGGIN BELIEVABLE :)
Only a few more songs would have it after this... "Being for the Benefit of Mr. Kite!" (1967) "The Fool on the Hill" (1967) "Rocky Raccoon" (1968) "All Together Now" (1969) And one Lennon solo song: "Oh Yoko!" (1971)
Always love when they give George the spotlight...which he so richly deserved.....he was a Great guitarist and songwriter ....rock on, George, one time for Ringo...and for us all :-)
Looka at Joh'n's model looks early on , and thick great hair, before any mop, combed over which showed a great manly profile, snd compare it to what he 'was" with Yoko Now split down the middle , never washed? with "peace" glasses that did not fit his normally rugged good looks.. Is there the opinion thyat YOKO was type of Narcissit?. So I picture her driving his desire to look like ozzie Osbourne today aka : I am a wild looking , not attractive woman, and my John will be a step below me!!Oh John , please do not wash those wonderful healing oils from your hair!! He becsme a "loser" in his appearance and giving over his strong alpha to YOKO? She near the end probabaly had more Testerone than he. Duff Gordon on "rocks oddities"
A male winner , by transferring his Alpha to already Alpha Yoko, became a loser, granted w=his wit was second to none, bout it appears he could not go outside himself to see himself in that bed looking - worse than Brian Wilson in the sandbox
@@duffgordon9005 ... Wow, why don't you go research on Mr Lennon.. From what I understand he would go into depressions which leads to not taking care of yourself.. Part of it was caused by the drugs he was doing.. Which back then they were some serious drugs.. Not like what it is today.. Where do you think the expression " take a trip and never leave the farm" came from.. Another expression " To many trips without the helmet" came from.. The 1960's and the 1970's were nothing but one big Trip for most people..
Love it when Paul leans in to sing harmony with John...as his right hand effortlessly dances up and down the bass fretboard. It's obvious they were all happy and close knit at this point. Paul mouthing the words. George looking at John during his solo. This was magic. This video captures their talent, their essence their brotherhood.
I love how John sings my tears are falling like rain from the sky and then goes on to treat the audience with a very charming smile. Conflict of emotions.
The most subversive opening song in history. John Lennon was such a genius it makes my head spin on a daily basis. To this day, people still don't get it: They announce the hottest band in the world EVER up to that point--no other band ever had anything approaching the levels of hysteria they did...Paganini, Mozart, Sinatra, Elvis, Martin & Lewis were the opening acts--and Lennon opens up with "I'm A Loser! And I'm not what I appear to be!" and they all CHEER like he's giving out free candy. Years later he would follow with "HELP!!! I need somebody!!!" and "Nowhere Man" and they just threw jelly beans and screamed whenever he shook his long hair and smiled, meanwhile he knew he had a kid crying to see his daddy back at home that he was never gonna see and a Dad he never knew looking to sponge off him, holes in his heart, and a night that was going to fit into a matchbox because he was Beatle John. Anybody that can't put his music into context is missing the point of this gigantic intellectual, creative man. I owe a large part of my life to this guy. When I was in fourth grade, my teacher was crying about the assassination of John Lennon and I remember thinking "Cool, he must be a great guy! Don't all the big bulletin board guys get shot?" Lincoln, Kennedy, MLK, Sadat, Reagan and now this guy that my parents play on the radio with Cousin Brucie in our Buick every night? Many years later, I was on an elevator in Milan and Yoko Ono walked on. A few hours earlier I had shot a picture of a kid tagging a street stone with the words "John Lennon is Live" and I was really happy about my good fortune as I'm not a photojournalist. It was a neat moment. But now I knew why...Yoko was in town. So I looked at her and I will never forget the incredible conversation we both had that day. Me: "Hi." Yoko: "Hi." Sometimes I try not to overthink it, either.
A very human and real moment for both of you. I'm sure she appreciated it too. Not being a fan boy for John: not a hater. Just real. Peace. The Dream Lives...
The way Paul looks at John, it’s like he’s constantly amazed that he gets to work and be friends with someone as incredible as John. The other three all looked up to John and fo varying degrees, I don’t think they ever truly stopped. Paul had/has an ego, but he also recognized that as great as he is, John was just as brilliant.
As usual when performing live Paul tries hard not to catch John's eye. John could barely stop himself smiling and laughing even when performing and Paul knew that he (Paul) would crack up completely if he faced John for too long. Despite the later differences which were eventually being patched up these two guys were as we know simply very, very close to one another. They had shared so much and together they were a brilliant writing duo. This did not mean that couldn't and didn't write some great numbers on their own, but together the combination of writing and musical styles made for an irresistible combination. Great memories.

I love this for so many reasons, notably: 1) Paul's uninhibited singing-along while John sings lead, 2) their complete unbridled joy to be singing and playing, 3) George's excitement during his guitar solo, 4) the little looks between Paul and John while they share a mic. They can't hide how happy they are. Love love this video :)
I was thinking the same thing :) The looks that Paul was giving John are just priceless - you could see the admiration in his face! Paul always looks like he's having the time of his life on stage whenever I watch him sing. Class act all 'round :)
Karen Campbell I think this is the Beatles we all 'know' whether true or not. We all wish their lives were like a glimpse of Hard Day's Night. I prefer to think that and born so long after it all, why not?
What a singer John was, he was tenor, but he could also hit baritone (as he does in this song) and his falsetto was really good. I often wish I had range like that.
@@karolkuter5194 he's one of the best at showing emotion through his voice, something that some music nerds tend to leave out because it's not "technical" enough.
If the Beatles didn't have so many freaking number 1 hits then songs they did like this one could have been number 1. They were just that damn GOOD!! It's mind boggling!
This was one of Johns first songs not about love, girls, fun.. I identified with this song somewhat, the questioning and unsurendess of adolescence. Everything they sang and did, was the backdrop for my life.. being a musician as well. I explored life, and they lead the way..
All four of these dudes are beyond belief!!! What a great live version of them all smiling! George’s solo is completely cool AND the connection with John is priceless... the connection between all of them is very apparent on this vid!
+morpher44 However , difficult to imagine and admit that someone like John, one of the most well known singer in the world - with the other 3 - ,could be a looser...
Gata Barbieri John's father left the family. John's mom left him with his aunt. So both parents abandoned him. John later got to know his mom better when he was in his teens. John's mom got killed by a drunk policeman. So actually its not hard to imagine that John considered himself a looser, not in the rock-world sense, but in the emotional baggage sense.
John and Paul sharing a mike? Not their typical configuration but clearly indicated in this space and time. So joyful to see their young enthusiam and that of every boomer alive back felt it too. John and his rhythm guitar and raw throat, Paulie's thumping Hofner- so cute and willing to play to the camera. George, just finding himself and Ringo on top, sitting high up showing us what a drummer actually does. After hearing and seeing them in 63 and 64 - we knew NOTHING was ever going to be the same again.
How many bands do you see today, playing live, with the kind of rapport and sense of fun that these boys exhibited? Paul and John's side-ways glances at each other, obvious private jokes, about to break into laughter - and all the while, displaying such incredible musicianship! God what we had and what we've lost.... Ps Paul was hawwwwt here ;)
John suffered the death of his mother when he was a child and desertion by his father one can only assume that his mother's love and the love of his auntie Mimi gave him the strength to survive many would have gone under in those circumstances "I'm a loser and I've lost someone who's near to me I'm a loser and I'm not what I appear to be although I laugh and I act like a clown beneath this mask I'm wearing a frown........ my tears are falling like rain from the sky is it for her or myself that I cry"
So good. The likelihood that we will ever see a band with 2 one in a million genius songwrriters...it just aint gonna happen. The way Paul keeps his eyes fixed on John, mouthing the words, with a huge smile, Paul absolutely adored John. Such a cool clip.
Gracias a Dios por crear a éstos cuatro fabulosos de Liverpool y gracias por ponerlos en éste mundo en el mismo espacio tiempo y lugar, para unirlos con un plan perfecto, para deleite de los que tuvimos y seguimos teniendo la gran fortuna de conocerlos y sorprendernos con su maravillosa música a través de generaciones, The Beatles fueron, son y seguirán siendo, patrimonio musical de la humanidad, larga vida a la mejor banda de todos los tiempos🎼🎶🎵🎤🎸🇬🇧 The Beatles👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👍🏻😍😍😍😍😘los amoooooooooo❤❤❤❤
I was about 12 when I saw this on snowy T.V. in Toronto on a Buffalo station we could get. I remember this and remembering learning it on my cheap electric guitar...it has always stayed with me, this song....thanks for posting it. I remember "when".
Under appreciated song. It is one of my all time favorites. I especially love this live version. Great! Paul's bass playing and George's simple but effective riffs on his guitar. What a classic. Tie it all together with John&Pauls vocals and the harmonica.
I get my calcium from other sources not stolen baby's sustenance- namely calves. Yes you guessed I am a proud vegan who was disgusted at this farmer's out of date propaganda.. White Lies..
Another kook who believes every negative that she hears, which is all that's fed to the current gullible generation. Sad, very sad! Let's hope they grow up!
Thats the John Lennon I love ! It brings chills down my spine, the most talented and versatile group this world has ever seen. Simply amazing!Yeah and never forget Sargent Peppers and the White album and not to mention my favorite, Rubber Soul!
They are really enjoying themselves here while taking this performance super seriously at the same time. The mouthing of another’s vocals is a sign of preparing for the changes in a song. Shindig was a major appearance for the all-important U.S. market.
Among many many other things it was the sheer joy of performing together and the energy they generating while doing it that made them so great in this early.mid period. Ist all on dosplay here. The amazing synthesis of four separate people uniting to produce one glorious sound institution!
THE BEATLES WERE THE KINGS AND THEIR MUSIC STILL ON TOP AND THE BEST, IF YOU SEE THIS VIDEO YOU WILL THINK WAS RECORDED LIVE YESTERDAY ,CAUSE THEIR HAIR STYLE, THEY WERE THE FIRST TO HAVE THAT STYLE IN THE MUSIC INDUSTRY.
"I'm A Loser" I'm a loser I'm a loser And I'm not what I appear to be Of all the love I have won or have lost There is one love I should never have crossed She was a girl in a million, my friend I should have known she would win in the end I'm a loser And I lost someone who's near to me I'm a loser And I'm not what I appear to be Although I laugh and I act like a clown Beneath this mask I am wearing a frown My tears are falling like rain from the sky Is it for her or myself that I cry I'm a loser And I lost someone who's near to me I'm a loser And I'm not what I appear to be What have I done to deserve such a fate I realize I have left it too late And so it's true, pride comes before a fall I'm telling you so that you won't lose all I'm a loser And I lost someone who's near to me I'm a loser And I'm not what I appear to be
I think at 0:53 Paul forgot the lyrics and try to catch up with John, and John notices and they both crack a smile. Simple detail that makes them more lovable ❤️❤️❤️
I was obsessed with constantly listening to their music for a few years, yet never noticed how much John and Paul were so giggly even though they're professional musicians live in front of an audience. funny.
I was 9 years old and sat entranced in front of our old black and white TV the very night this was aired. I loved Shindig. And seeing the Beatles sing this blew me away. My mom was telling me she didn't like me watching this but I got my way anyhow.
I'm having so much fun listening and remembering THE hours I d ent up in my bedroom as a 12 year old girl singing my guts out at the top of my lungs to all OF these Stupendously simple tunes. I'm 61 now and can remember every lyric and harmony I sang to this day. I can't recall my checking account number ive had since 1879"but. Over till got these lyrics locked in my head and heart forever. Thanks Fab Four for the soundtrack to my life.
The Beatles were under exclusive contract with Ed Sullivan for live US TV appearances. They got around this by sending film and video clips from their British TV appearances to US TV shows like Shindig and Hullabaloo.
I just love reading all these wonderful comments about a period in history like no other. I'm so glad I was part of it. The music of the 60's was epic.
I love Paul's expression starting at 1:57. There's real joy, affection and admiration. It must all seem like some distant, incredible dream to him now...
Too True Great comment
I think he was trying to get Lennon to laugh..
It's more than obvious that Paul was expecting John to forget the lyrics, but he didn't so Paul was just disappointed.

It's one Genius respecting the talent of the other.
The smile George throws to John at 1:47......PRICELESS :)
1:47 HEY!
Then George smiles.
That was funny.
Cool guys! All of them, that's why they were known as the

John gives him a shotout and George just beams. It's so cute.

John suffered the death of his mother when he was a child and desertion by his father one can only assume that his mother's love and the love of his auntie Mimi gave him the strength to survive many would have gone under in those circumstances "I'm a loser and I've lost someone who's near to me I'm a loser and I'm not what I appear to be although I laugh and I act like a clown beneath this mask I'm wearing a frown........ my tears are falling like rain from the sky is it for her or myself that I cry"
Phil Thornton a very sad song
Phil Thornton Powerful huh?
Help is another very meaningful song. Fame overwhelmed them.
Very astute correlation, that ... Methinks you have quite a good point.
Phil Thornton, I never thought of it that way -- good observation!
What a great, great song. So simple, so effective.
So good. The likelihood that we will ever see a band with 2 one in a million genius songwrriters...it just aint gonna happen. The way Paul keeps his eyes fixed on John, mouthing the words, with a huge smile, Paul absolutely adored John. Such a cool clip.
Great tune ,great performance, johns voice is amazing, the harmonies, the electric guitars ,rings powerful groove ,pals walking bass....wow.
I'm only here for the milk commercial at the beginning
Not at all.
Same, totally😂👌
Hahahaha
Ye god- no wonder people were so unhealthy. 3 times a day, ummm lactose and cassein.
Milk burps = gah-rosse >barf
NOT a looser, a good looking, amazing, and TOTALLY EPIC singer!
'The chemistry...the chemistry...'

I was about 12 when I saw this on snowy T.V. in Toronto on a Buffalo station we could get. I remember this and remembering learning it on my cheap electric guitar...it has always stayed with me, this song....thanks for posting it. I remember "when".
John on the harmonica, rocks it!!!!
He's so good it keeps playing when he takes his mouth off it...lol
+Jeremy Shirland is a backing track but he plays too
That part my dog was dancing 😂

Oh! man, the bass of Paul is incredible in this song.
JOSUÉ CARNEIRO was going to leave a comment on Paul's rocking bass on this tune but I'll just dido your observation !

... And he never even looks at the fingerboard on those walking lines ...
@@Tonetwisters ...while singing harmony! That bass must have felt like an extension of his arm.
Under appreciated song. It is one of my all time favorites. I especially love this live version. Great! Paul's bass playing and George's simple but effective riffs on his guitar. What a classic. Tie it all together with John&Pauls vocals and the harmonica.
They were the cutest. ❤
The Beatles were flying high here. Whenever I see a Beatles live video , I always look for the "look" between John and Paul. I love The Beatles.
Odd and wonderful to see an actual live version of the Beatles and being able to hear it! Fantastic. But no way am I gonna drink 3 glasses of milk!
Relaxing músic
You have to to get calcem, sorry.
I get my calcium from other sources not stolen baby's sustenance- namely calves. Yes you guessed I am a proud vegan who was disgusted at this farmer's out of date propaganda.. White Lies..
Judith, there is no absolute proof that eating veggies is better than eating meat at all. It's all about genetics. Great genes....no beans!
Another kook who believes every negative that she hears, which is all that's fed to the current gullible generation. Sad, very sad! Let's hope they grow up!
*1:56 the way Paul is looking at John and the little 'yeah' he gives. Adorable.
Thats the John Lennon I love ! It brings chills down my spine, the most talented and versatile group this world has ever seen. Simply amazing!Yeah and never forget Sargent Peppers and the White album and not to mention my favorite, Rubber Soul!
The list goes on..and..on..and..on..and...on....................✌️
Some of the best bass guitar work you'll ever hear!
Such a great performance! A song that sounds as fresh today as then. Like most ALL their songs! What songwriters!!
I miss John Lennon so much it isn't funny. What a genius.
Thanks to that piece of human waste M.D.C. we all lost him.
MadFashionista1 STFU you grandma 👵
Buu3tb 22 ur an idiot. You’re just disrespectful to this musical genius who literally got shot! I hate fucking trolls like you who mess everything up
Stop Snitchin that was so disrespectful and very unneeded. If you are going to say stuff like that just get off of UA-cam
stunning words everytime I listen to it it just feels like the first time
The entertainment phenomenon of the century. Yep. Thank u. And 3 of them from the same neighborhood
change century to 'teraannum' (a trillion years), and it's correct.
I've been failing at life and struggling, so I searched up "im a loser" in tears, and found this. This cheered me up a bit! Thank you guys.
Hi Archie! Look up the song 'Keep passing the open window' by Queen. I lost my son recently. Just wanted to encourage you! Music is a good release.
Unreal musicians
the songs are evening delights. they really are immortally great , unsurpassed.
Espectacular la cara de admiración de Paul cuando ve cantar a John.
Sounds as good today as it did 52 years ago! Thanks for posting this gem!
Ok, so...I was alive then...not by much...but I was. And what a wonderful song! Peace!
They are really enjoying themselves here while taking this performance super seriously at the same time. The mouthing of another’s vocals is a sign of preparing for the changes in a song. Shindig was a major appearance for the all-important U.S. market.
This is just so awesome there almost aren't words to describe it...
Among many many other things it was the sheer joy of performing together and the energy they generating while doing it that made them so great in this early.mid period. Ist all on dosplay here. The amazing synthesis of four separate people uniting to produce one glorious sound institution!
Real music ❤ real talent ❤😊
THE BEATLES WERE THE KINGS AND THEIR MUSIC STILL ON TOP AND THE BEST, IF YOU SEE THIS VIDEO YOU WILL THINK WAS RECORDED LIVE YESTERDAY ,CAUSE THEIR HAIR STYLE, THEY WERE THE FIRST TO HAVE THAT STYLE IN THE MUSIC INDUSTRY.
Many thanks for putting together these songs by the greatest band ever. Brill that much of the focus is on the late great Johnny Ace.
Band of the century!!!!!!
John singing about being a loser and they still screamed. No wonder he was disenchanted at performing live.
Paul's bass sound is so clear, love it ❤️
"I'm A Loser"
I'm a loser
I'm a loser
And I'm not what I appear to be
Of all the love I have won or have lost
There is one love I should never have crossed
She was a girl in a million, my friend
I should have known she would win in the end
I'm a loser
And I lost someone who's near to me
I'm a loser
And I'm not what I appear to be
Although I laugh and I act like a clown
Beneath this mask I am wearing a frown
My tears are falling like rain from the sky
Is it for her or myself that I cry
I'm a loser
And I lost someone who's near to me
I'm a loser
And I'm not what I appear to be
What have I done to deserve such a fate
I realize I have left it too late
And so it's true, pride comes before a fall
I'm telling you so that you won't lose all
I'm a loser
And I lost someone who's near to me
I'm a loser
And I'm not what I appear to be
I think at 0:53 Paul forgot the lyrics and try to catch up with John, and John notices and they both crack a smile. Simple detail that makes them more lovable ❤️❤️❤️
John ' s voice sounds great in this live version. I love it.
I was obsessed with constantly listening to their music for a few years, yet never noticed how much John and Paul were so giggly even though they're professional musicians live in front of an audience. funny.
I can't get enough of their music is just the best!!!!😍😍😍😍😍
Just love the Beatles...
I was 9 years old and sat entranced in front of our old black and white TV the very night this was aired. I loved Shindig. And seeing the Beatles sing this blew me away. My mom was telling me she didn't like me watching this but I got my way anyhow.
I'm having so much fun listening and remembering THE hours I d ent up in my bedroom as a 12 year old girl singing my guts out at the top of my lungs to all OF these Stupendously simple tunes. I'm 61 now and can remember every lyric and harmony I sang to this day. I can't recall my checking account number ive had since 1879"but. Over till got these lyrics locked in my head and heart forever. Thanks Fab Four for the soundtrack to my life.
john completo musico cantante y persona ...grande John
Pretty much said it..."The entertainment phenomena of the century."
John Lennon - "I'm A Loser"
Kanye West - "I'm A God"
You do the math
Omg :'(
+One Astronaut Milk ? Kanye West seems to have ended up with a "Michael Jackson" syndrome. Needs a bit of "Jarvis Cocker" to put him right.
NOOOOOOOOO! NOOOOOOO!
What was John, an atheist?
and?
Never to be repeated. Such talent to came together is beyond belief!
I really remember watching this program I'm still in Love with The Beatles
John sure knew something the rest of us mortals didn't, and probably never will.
just like king david, he knew a secret chord
The Beatles were under exclusive contract with Ed Sullivan for live US TV appearances. They got around this by sending film and video clips from their British TV appearances to US TV shows like Shindig and Hullabaloo.
If Lennon is a loser i'm a...

A loser god!

@@rivverbonner3787 :) ty I needed that
I just love reading all these wonderful comments about a period in history like no other. I'm so glad I was part of it. The music of the 60's was epic.
Paul watching John sing and saying yes to cheer him on is the best thing ever
