When I was 13, I was at the Ed Sullivan show and hearing "Revolution 9" for the first time back in 1964. I was screaming and bunch of girls do too. Now I'm 71 years old and this song will be keep in my heart as always♥️
Damn if I was over there hearing this song... I would've broken down and Fainted! Bcoz of how good this is!! Look how much the girl at 1:26 is enjoying it !!
Four years to go from “I Want To Hold Your Hand” to “Revolution 9”. Their rapid evolution still blows my mind! Great vid, I’ve watched it twice now, all 18:18.
@@memevolution9, I literally made a whole Wikipedia and lore of this video “The Beatles Performing Revolution 9 Live” Is A Video that was Published By Memevolution 9 on his TH-cam channel That was claimed to be lost media of the Beatles he found. The video was published in 2021 The video seems to show the usual Beatles concert crowds saw back then, with screaming and fainting girls, only instead of their usual classic songs, they are performing A live rendition of Revolution 9 The footage is a collaboration of them performing at a variety of specific places, As no official footage of the band performing at a single location seems to be public except for the Washington coliseum During the height of 1986, John Lennon had the idea to do one last tour when the white album came out despite his frustrations with live performances. At the time, John was giving the idea of performing Revolution 9, the song that of course his “unconscious picture of what he thinks will actually happen”, and showing it to “make girls scream even louder than ever”. John was eager to play, but Paul, Ringo, and George tried to persuade Lennon but to no avail. John felt that this song with girls screaming would “propel it into some kind of horror”. George describes the last minutes of their song’s concert as “pure hell breaking loose”, as millions of teenage girls were presumably in shock and terror and going berserk chasing the four, still perpetually screaming The footage seems to show two era’s of the Beatles coexisting together: their touring era in 1946, and their white album era of 1986, as the four look young, but revolution 9 is the song present. Yoko also appears in the crowd of frantic screaming women The four perform Revolution 9 (with the Analogues cover dubbed over To avoid copyright strike) for about 8 minutes as the actual sound collage itself on the album is around 8 minutes as well. After the concert ends, Paul gives an exhausted sigh. The screen quickly cuts to black and later cuts to a scene where the fans are chasing the Beatles from “a hard days night”. After this, clips and interviews of fanGirls appear, with one particular Girl screaming at an interviewer that Ringo “Has A sexy nose”, then cutting to black, ending the video The footage was declared private from the public, as no footage of the Beatles performing their most abstract song would be shown. During the raid of 2019, The footage was formerly hidden by Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr and given to the staff at Area 51 strictly kept it secret before it was leaked online and found by memevolution 9’s channel Before 2018 Had ended, the same year, Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr did the Reunion Tour (paying tribute to John and George), playing almost all of their songs, studio and live, and Revolution 9 was one of them. Despite not liking the performance since he didn’t like Revolution 9 in its whole, Paul liked how it was still a tribute of John Revolution 9 was not made in the studio, for it was a sound collage. So they had to work with the original and make a recreation. George Martin (who was backstage) had connected the Beatles guitars to tape recorders after they had mixed and found redone versions of the samples used in the track and mixed them. Once the tape recorders and amps were both linked, they interfered with one another. this allowed the guitars to play both notes and sounds, Each time someone strummed, it would trigger a sample. The explosions and gunfires are the only exception because they are (in real time) from Ringo’s drums Despite finding most of the samples used in the song, John could not find the Original EMI test tape of the engineer that said “this is EMI test series number nine”. At some point, some unknown engineer had completely demolished the tape by burning and trashing it. Needless to say that John was not happy with this, being quite irritable towards the others As for the vocals, Each member was picked for a specific role. John and George talking over the top of each other, Paul saying “number nine”, and Ringo screaming and moaning intensely John and George Talking over the top of each other was a challenge for John himself because of him having to play and talk with his Bandmate over him throughout the whole song, saying it was a “hell of a job”. Paul was chosen to say “number nine” repeatedly due to the tapes discarding. Surprisingly, Paul had gotten extremely queasy and nauseous to the point where he vomited after the performance. Ringo on the other hand was insanely drunk and had dry heaved for the whole night. He auditioned to fill in for John’s screams and mumbles in the song since John could not do to voices at the same time. Because of his “lack of sanity” (as John called it), Ringo had a rather gruff and angry tone when screaming “right” and babbling incorrectly, yet the others “loved it” Goofs: • This Is By far the most chaotic, rough, frustrating, intense tour the Beatles have ever gone on considering they went to that much trouble • After the song, an applauding crowd can be heard cheering dubbed over the frantic audience, but is later cut off supposedly due to an audio glitch • half a portion of The footage seems to be sped up, with the song being over 8 minutes • brief clips of audio from the white album version can be heard replacing some parts of the live cover. Since the footage is put together like a collage, the sounds and scenes are not all the same • When The brawling Crowd explode Into Applause, The audio of the squalling audience gets noticeably louder but than is cut off and briefly inaudible amongst the audio of the fake applause.

They were recreated live in the performance
omg! they did so good doing this live!! looks so good and i almost peed myself went i went to this concert . great preformance and im asking people to play this at my funeral.
Which proves once and for all that the audience was not there to listen to the work being performed, they were simply screaming. If they had stopped for a moment, remained silent for a minute or 2 and just listened, well then, I can guarantee you that this particular number would have eventually had them all ---- well --- you know, --- screaming!
I love memevolution 9 I have never seen so much funny Beatle content that did not come from the Beatles themselves well it did but it didn’t you get wha I mean
I was there when The Beatles first appeared on the Ed Sullivan show in 1949, and can still remember it like it was yesterday. I said to my granpaw that these boys from little old Britain will shake the world order of music. Elvis Presley learned all he knew from them.
