The craziest thing is that this album is almost 60 years old recorded on relatively primitive equipment by today's standards and it still sounds incredible.
@@jp3813 Well, it appears that for anything remotely old - buildings, books, records etc - is crazy or insane to most Americans that comment on TH-cam.
Just goes to show in 1966 The Beatles are leading the pack in popular music. As soon as others try to catch up, they find the Beatles left them in the dust. Just can't keep up .
You just said in one line what I said in a paragraph. Fact indeed! The Rolling Stones regularly imitated The Beatles, like with their flop At Her Satanic Majesty's Request imitation of Sgt. Peppers. Rock on!
This is the Beatles maturing musically & creatively in the studio. They are the best example of of a group that is completely different from 1st Album to last.
They were maturing from their first recording released. The only way to actually hear that is to listen to their recordings chronologically from the beginning, instead of beginning with their last, or somewhere in the middle. What was the LP they made before "Revolver"? Do you know? Have you "bothered" with it? It has greater emotional depth than "Revolver".
Either way it was Paul using an electric bass to get a great tone to complement the song. I doubt Paul even had access to an upright bass at the time. Later on in life his wife Linda bought him the actual stand up bass belonging to Bill Black that was heard in so many of Elvis’ early rockabilly tracks.
From what I have read in 1965 the Rickenbacker guitar company crafted and presented Paul with a left handed 4001. From that time, beginning with the Rubber Soul recording, Paul used the 4001 for the studio recordings and used the Hofner on the tour dates.
@@Dan-zq5wt "Rubber Soul" has an emotional depth that "Revolver" does not. The different effects of two different drugs: the first, weed; the second, LSD, which tends to be experienced intellectually. I love both LPs, but "Rubber Soul" is one of my top three, the other two being "Beatles for Sale" and "The Beatles" (aka "White" LP). Now, this song "I'm Only Sleeping" -- ah, John Lennon!
Another fantastic reaction gentleman. The Beatles are just pure genius. They are one of the all time greatest bands of all time. Just a talented bunch of lads. Keep on rocking and doing what you do for the Airplays family love what you are doing ❤
On top of everything else that has been said here, Revolver was recorded on only 4 tracks. 4 tracks. All of their albums up to this point, and even their next album after Revolver, Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hears Club Band, were recorded on only 4 tracks. They didn't get to 8 tracks until the White Album. Genius.
When I ponder the Beatles and their journey it is incredible to me that they survived. There was no template for them - musically or personally. Much of their experience was absolute insanity with some protection but nothing like it is in the music business now. Their art and smarts were incredible to grow up with and each album is a reflection of where they were in their lives at that point. To get a real sense of this band I think it's a good idea to listen to their albums chronologically - they were such an incredible influence in the world and they were incredibly influenced by world events and trying to cope with the insanity of their lives. At one point LSD played a big roll in their music but so did George Martin's production of their albums. He was key in their sound and some people refer to him as the 5th Beatle. At the beginning of their career as we know it George Martin was asked to produce them but had never heard of them and had no experience with rock music at all - he was a comedy and classical album producer. He agreed to take them on after he met them because he said they were just "so damned charming."
This one was always one of my favorites. A typical John song 😊It is sometimes hard to explain unless you've been around it or know their music journey and what an amazing one it was. Growing up with the Beatles music for me? Pure magic. They are part of my DNA!
"66?! That's hella early!" Exactly, because The Beatles were *creating* the styles you're hearing, a new way to make music, and new expectations from it. Ringo's a master, never drawing attention to himself. And Che hit the nail on the head--Revolver put the exclamation point on the band's evolution from fantastic pop love ballads, to trailblazing albums transforming music. Each song is a mini movie, with whatever style, arrangement, and instrumentation best tell the tale. Their previous album, Rubber Soul, began that trend, and is IMO a must-react. Revolver takes it further, and changes the Beatles image from adorable moptops, to musical wizards. Now united not just as performers but as studio creators, the Beatles were taking music new places. Your enthusiasm, insights, and growing knowledge of the band is delightful. Thanks for having me along. 🙏
With this song (and the single B-sde "Rain", which was recorded during the Revolver album sessions), they recorded the song in one key for the backing instruments, then slowed the tape down a whole step to record the vocals, then the final playback/master was then sped up to a half step between (meaning that, say, if they recorded a D note on the guitar, that note would be a C when they recorded the vocals, then when they did the final mix it became a C#/Db). So this is why the bass sounds so resonate like a stand-up and the drums sounds so deep, and the voices sound pitched up.
Rock is rock is rock. So-called "prog rock" is middle-class pretentiousness by the insecure who were intimidated into believing rock was inferior to classical music, so they tried to stop the snobs' criticisms. The two -- rock and classical -- are incompatible, but they jammed them together anyway, and the musically illiterate believe it some sort of advance. It should be called "crock rock".
They were a "new sound" when they blew up big time 1963-1964, but around late 1965-1966 they became trailblazers that other musicians took a lot of inspiration from as they, themselves, were constantly looking for inspiration from all kinds of sources, including Indian music. Once the Beatles broke that new ground with their own creations, everybody else was discovering it. It was during the mid-1960's that popular music became excited by everything new. By the late 1960's (1966-1969) music creativity exploded, with the result that by 1969, Prog Rock began to take it to a whole new level. Coincidentally, 1968 was when I started high school, so my young ears were filled with wonderfulness during all those golden years of music...
Just so simple, yet brilliantly beautiful and always to quote La & Che “surprising” always blazing a trial of creativity and usually the first to do it!
Hello fellas ,as a rule of thumb , if you hear a genre of modern music in a Beatles song chances are thats where the genre originated . all my best to you and yours from Liverpool
I think I posted this early (apologies if I did), but we used to wait for the next album like it was Christmas, because we knew they were going to do something you have never heard before--in the themes of the songs, the music, the instruments, the arrangement/composition. It was going to be a buffet of beautiful melodies and innovations, even avante guarde music. They were a walking revolution and are and will forever be the GOAT.
Yes, incredible record. Fun story; in 1965 they were coming to Toronto. I have 2 older sisters who wanted to go baaad. The Toronto radio station, Chum AM,had tickets they were giving away all day one Saturday. All you had to do was call up ( you know we'll take the 6th caller) and guess a number on the wheel between 1 and 10. My oldest sister all day, had the first 6 digits of the stations # dialed in and only had to dial the last#. She got through and the DJ said, ok Jean pick a number from 1-10. She said 4 he spun the wheel and said congrats you just won 4 tickets to the show. Well they screamed and my Mom came down a said what's wrong lol. Anyway I didn't get to go but when I saw them the next day I said how was the show. They both were talking with a hoarse voice lol. They were special, both my sisters and of course The Beatles. Memories...
This song perfectly encapsulates a big part of the genius of the Beatles...namely, their ability to take almost any style of music (in this case folk-rock/psychedelia), make it their own and make it so damn listenable.
No auto-tune; no cut and paste Pro Tools fixes; just authentic performance, superior songwriting and as you already noted, great production. These guys were just in a class by themselves. And it's appropriate that you're reacting to them on the 60th anniversary of the day they landed at JFK national airport, two days before the historical first appearance on the Ed Sullivan Show.
George and Paul's backup vocals are incredible. They make it sound so easy, but they're so precise with all of the harmonies. Then Paul goes high behind John and makes it feel like something written in the 20s! Very cool.
Ned from Spain sayin Hey La and Che and thank you for listening to this. Revolver is when these guys got deeper into mind altering substances and the influences of Motown, Dylan, Freakbeat and Indian music Producer George Martin was a mighty MVP in helping put the sounds in their heads on to tape. I might be wrong but I think the backwards guitar solo, imitating a sitar ?, was the first just before Jimi Hendrix did it. Also they had Sitar legend Ravi Shankar play on the track " Love You To " by George Harrison of course. All good things to you fellas.
Gosh: I just feel SO FORTUNATE to have GROWN UP with this type of SOUND and the TALENT that surrounded us!! Will we EVER see it, again? There are some talented people out there...but, it's almost like most of them don't things anymore that MOVE your SOUL!! Everything is "some-kinda-'mix'".... The Beatles are almost like your EARS are enjoying a SMORGASBOARD of MUSIC!! UGH - SO GOOD! I LONG for the DAYS!! Thanks for reacting to this album, GUYS!! HUGS!
Lovely song! This is one of my favorite albums by them. This is where they disconnect from the "yeah-yeah-yeah" phase and start to be more experimental, bringing more maturity and complexity to the lyrics and instruments. The track "Tomorrow never knows" is something out of the box for an album made in 1966.
Nice going through this album with you, can't wait for Tomorrow Never Knows!! Meantime check out PJ Harvey - Rid of me, any live solo version "lick my legs I'm on fire"
I think the Revolver and Rubber Soul albums really showed us how they could evolve and just how exciting they might turn out to be. And boy, were they ever. I remember listening to this on my older brothers 8-track tape player around 1975.
They started with Mono, then cam stereo and the Beatles made use of the advances. I love how you understand and love the Beatles Songs, welcome to the club.
My favorite Beatle song. Adore John’s lyrics and vocal performance. Paul bass work and the harmonies are gorgeous. Beautiful and impactful piece; one of their most underrated.
The Bass is Paul using his Custom Made Rickenbacker 4001 (1st left handed) Bass, that my mother "Dotty" assembled in 1964 while working at Electro-Strings Rickenbacker Guitars, Santa Ana California. The track includes a backwards lead guitar part played by George Harrison, the first time such a technique was used on a pop recording. Harrison perfected the part with the tape running backwards so that, when reversed, it would fit the dreamlike mood. One guitar was recorded with fuzz effects, the other without. Engineer Geoff Emerick described the meticulous process as "interminable". "I can still picture George hunched over his guitar for hours on end", headphones clamped on, brows furrowed in concentration..... It played backwards, and, ‘What the hell is going on?’ Those effects! Nobody knew how those sounded then. We said, ‘My God, that is fantastic! Can we do that for real?’… So that was what we did and that was where we discovered backwards guitar. It was a beautiful solo actually. It sounds like something you couldn’t play"- Paul McCartney ..... 'I don't mind writing or reading or watching or speaking, but sex is the only physical thing I can be bothered with any more"- John Lennon
After listening to the Beatles for the last 60 years, this has become one of my favorite tunes of theirs. The very first instance of so-called "backwards guitar". Thanks for the listen
One of my very favourite Beatles songs both to listen to and to play. As always, Paul's nimble, bouncing bass, Ringo's perfectly tailored to the tune drums, George's pioneering backwards guitar solo and John's effortlessly emotive and relatable lyrics and delivery. Love it. 😴😉🤙🏼🎶❤️✨️🕊
Thank you for bringing out so many of the Beatles songs that’s are off the beaten path so to speak. This song is a gem from start to finish. Appreciate all your work guys. Cheers!
True greatness. I was in 3rd grade when this came out, having grrown up on the Beatles invasion even earlier. I'm 66 and so blessed to have been raised during this revolutionary phase of rock!
I was blessed to have this song an essential part of my childhood. Elder siblings had the album which I loved so very much and would play this in my head to go to sleep. 💤 I called myself a Beatles baby! 😹
What a great reaction guys. Yeah and it really is weird to think that it sounds this good and that was from 1966. I love the song from the first time I heard it as a little kid, I really really have always loved it. And hearing it again now with headphones on? I love it deeply as a musician of many years. What a great depth to add to just already really liking a song your whole life.
You’re absolutely right. After they quit touring (see the Ron Howard doc) they became a studio band and basically were inventing new ways to record and new sounds.
I want to say a thousand things but I'll try to be brief. First of all, thanks for taking the time to listen to the Beatles discography. Once canot develop an appreciation for them unless they hear everything they put out and appreciate the variety. I hope that many others learn to appreciate them too. Second, a greater appreciation can be achieved with repeat listenings, especially if one listens to a whole album at a time. If you're in a different mood, you hear differently. Then you find out you have no real favourite song because it depends on the day you're having. Or you pick up their moods in the music and are sucked in. Magical.
One of the Beatles' finest songs. "Sounded good for '66" you say. Well, there was a lot of excellent music that year - songs like "Good Vibrations", "Paint It Black", "Eight Miles High" and "Sunny Afternoon". The music of 1966 was far better than today's!
Revolver was the first album i was introduced to by my older braother,, i was 11 ,,1975,, you two have made me relisten to so much of the music of my youth, talk about it
Love you. Yall delve into regions that have all but being forgotten by todays young folk. That's why I fell in love with you guys many reactions b-fo. (Bt-dubs. I was eleven when I first heard this song.)
A Grammy was just awarded for Best Music Video for I'm Only Sleeping. Worth watching.
It is sooooo cool!!!
Saw it. Beautiful❤
Came here to post this. Wasted opportunity!

The Beatles changed music forever
I love this album. This song is perfect, classic Lennon
The magic of the Beatles - every new LP set new trends. Each track was stand-alone. Where they went others followed!!! Fact!!
There's the Beatles. Then there's everyone else.
...or tried to.

Radiohead
play all their songs in sequence; none will sound the same. That was the joy of every new release. You never knew what to expect.
I appreciate you for recognizing and appreciating musical genius. They didn't just play it. They created it.
You should watch the video. It just won an award for Best Music video at The Grammys
One of my favorite Beatle songs!
This one is a total jam - perfect for singing along!
That's Paul famous Hofner violin bass. so smooth. The backwards guitar is awesome too. Love this song. Great reaction guys
I think he was using his Rickenbacker bass in the studio by this time.

Later on in life his wife Linda bought him the actual stand up bass belonging to Bill Black that was heard in so many of Elvis’ early rockabilly tracks.
It’s funny that the thing you mentioned about the bass is actually the special feature of the rickenbacker 🤣
yes true...that was widely used in the 60's as well. Paul still uses his Hofner. Its awesome@@juanacosta5469

60 years later and I still can't get over how good their music was.
A beautiful song on a beautiful album. I feel that Revolver is THE greatest pop, psychedelic rock album, that launched 1000s of bands in history.
I'm 72 and experienced all Beatles albums firsthand. Revolver is and always will be my favorite go-to when I need a Beatles fix.
You haven't heard "Rubber Soul".

The guitar solo/fills were recorded normal then played backwards which give it that trippy sound. Beatles were the first to try this

One of the greatest albums ever recorded. A must have. You truly need to hear the entire album straight through.
"Every song sounds different." You just described what made them great.

The Beatles innovated the backwards guitar solo, which quickly became a staple of the emerging psychedelia.
One of my favorite Beatles songs.
When I ponder the Beatles and their journey it is incredible to me that they survived. There was no template for them - musically or personally.

Well Put ❗ Thanks for that narrative. Such a smooth beautiful song.
Excellent explanation. Thank you!
Gentlemen, that you for showcasing this ground breaking album released in the summer of 1966. I think this is the beginning of PROG rock.
Rock is rock is rock. So-called "prog rock" is middle-class pretentiousness by the insecure who were intimidated into believing rock was inferior to classical music, so they tried to stop the snobs' criticisms. The two -- rock and classical -- are incompatible, but they jammed them together anyway, and the musically illiterate believe it some sort of advance. It should be called "crock rock".
Goosebumps. Been listening to it since 1966, and it still washes over me like a Cuban woman bathed in chocolate.
Always loved this song. The whole album

True greatness. I was in 3rd grade when this came out, having grrown up on the Beatles invasion even earlier. I'm 66 and so blessed to have been raised during this revolutionary phase of rock!
That bass sound is Paul's Hofner semi-hollowbody bass with nylon strings. An amazingly unique and identifiable sound.
another banger!
The sound track of my youth. Love them.
Guitar solos and licks are being played in reverse, gives it psychedelic atmosphere. John's idea; genius! Album from 1966.
another great one guys.
It's so fun listening to the Beatles with you guys
One of the BEST Beatles songs ever
Ringo just has that slumber-sesh on the drums...ringo just served the song like no one else...he was an artist, fr.
Beatles, always good!
Paul on bass. Great player.
I was blessed to have this song an essential part of my childhood. Elder siblings had the album which I loved so very much and would play this in my head to go to sleep. 💤 I called myself a Beatles baby! 😹
That swing it is almost as Dominoes by Syd Barrett's also the back masking sound. David Gilmour said that it was the hardest thing to accomplished
Man, they are soooo good!
What a great reaction guys. Yeah and it really is weird to think that it sounds this good and that was from 1966. I love the song from the first time I heard it as a little kid, I really really have always loved it. And hearing it again now with headphones on? I love it deeply as a musician of many years. What a great depth to add to just already really liking a song your whole life.
You’re absolutely right. After they quit touring (see the Ron Howard doc) they became a studio band and basically were inventing new ways to record and new sounds.
I want to say a thousand things but I'll try to be brief. First of all, thanks for taking the time to listen to the Beatles discography. Once canot develop an appreciation for them unless they hear everything they put out and appreciate the variety. I hope that many others learn to appreciate them too. Second, a greater appreciation can be achieved with repeat listenings, especially if one listens to a whole album at a time. If you're in a different mood, you hear differently. Then you find out you have no real favourite song because it depends on the day you're having. Or you pick up their moods in the music and are sucked in. Magical.
Love this reaction, the commentary, and The Beatles.
One of the Beatles' finest songs. "Sounded good for '66" you say. Well, there was a lot of excellent music that year - songs like "Good Vibrations", "Paint It Black", "Eight Miles High" and "Sunny Afternoon". The music of 1966 was far better than today's!
Revolver was the first album i was introduced to by my older braother,, i was 11 ,,1975,, you two have made me relisten to so much of the music of my youth, talk about it
I can't wait till you do Sgt, Peppers album.
I know I’m patiently waiting!
Love how you keep it brief, so refreshing haha! And now if you'll excuse me... 😴
They went from the 1st boy band to musical pioneers with this Album.
such a different song its like sleepy but then has epic feel and really cool dierections in which it goes
The most creative group ever.
The two people I would have most wanted to meet and chat with during my life are John Lennon and Muhammad Ali.
Love you. Yall delve into regions that have all but being forgotten by todays young folk. That's why I fell in love with you guys many reactions b-fo. (Bt-dubs. I was eleven when I first heard this song.)
They used the big reverb plates at abby Road on a fender p
