HOW DO YOU SLEEP?
So Sgt. Pepper took you by surprise
You better see right through that mother’s eyes
Those freaks was right when they said you was dead
The one mistake you made was in your head
Tell me... How do you sleep?
Tell me... How do you sleep at night?
You live with straights who tell you you was king
Jump when your Momma tell you anything
The only thing you done was yesterday
And since you’ve gone you’re just another day
Tell me... How do you sleep at night?
Tell me babe... How do you sleep at night?
You was king...
Whoah... How do you sleep at night?
Whoah... How do you sleep at night?
A pretty face may last a year or two
But pretty soon they’ll see what you can do
The sound you make is muzak to my ears
You must have learned something in all those years
Oh... How do you sleep, brother?
Ohh... Tell me how do you sleep at night?
Hit it!
Jump when your momma tell you anything
But pretty soon you’ll see what you can do
Ohh... How do you sleep at night?
Tell me... How do you sleep at night?
Tell me... How do you sleep at night?

Imagine you are at the Lennon’s home, Tittenhurst Park in Ascot, England. It's night. It's the last week in May in 1971 and you are their special guest, sat in a chair in the very center of the their recording studio, Ascot Sound Studios. John Lennon is sat in front of you, teaching the musicians one of his latest compositions. He is talking and singing and playing the same wood-finish Epiphone Casino electric guitar he played on 'Revolution'. A bearded George Harrison is in front of you, to the right, playing electric slide on John's pale blue Fender Strat. Just behind you and to your right, Rod Lynton with Ted Turner from Wishbone Ash are strumming chords on twelve string acoustic guitars, and directly behind you to the right, John and George's old friend Klaus Voormann is playing his deep hand-painted Fender Precision bass. Behind you to the left, Alan White (who would later join Yes) is playing his Ludwig silver sparkle drumkit, and in front of you to the left, John Tout from Renaissance is playing chords on the Steinway upright piano, and to his right, Nicky Hopkins is improvising on the red-top Wurlitzer Electric Piano, literally days before he leaves for Nellcôte to play on Exile on Main Street with The Rolling Stones. You are listening to the band playing 'How Do You Sleep' and all the hairs are standing up on your arms.

About ‘How Do You Sleep?’ by John & Yoko
excerpted from the 120 page book in the Imagine Ultimate Collection Box Set
John: Somebody said the other day ‘It’s about me’. You know, there’s two things I regret. One is that there was so much talk about Paul on it, they missed the song. It was a good track. And I should’ve kept me mouth shut - not on the song, it could’ve been about anybody, you know? And when you look at them back, Dylan said it about his stuff, you know, most of it’s about him. The only thing that matters is how he and I feel about those things and not what the writer or the commentator thinks about it, you know? Him and me are OK. So I don’t care what they say about that, you know? I’ve always been a little, you know, loose. And I hope it’ll change because I’m fed up of waking up in the papers. But if it doesn’t, my friends are my friends whatever way.

Paul like piece
Talk has always been cheap lol
I have always thought that it was a crime?
WE CAN WORK IT OUT
John: "How do you sleep?"
Paul: "Woke up, fell out of bed!"

Leon Pach About a lucky man who made the grade
While Lennon was dissing Paul, George was just vibing with his guitar.
No, he wasn't - he quit the Beatles in the middle of a recording session for the EXACT, SAME reasons you hear in this song - also felt by Lennon - obviously.
Oh George was fully in on the hit
both of them were on it, they both had the same reasons to dislike paul, i hope someday we all can grow and accept paul was the reason they all broke up, and i think thats not a bad thing, they just had differences, but that main reason still that
Music doesn't get much better than this. This session sounds better than the record.
Much better !!!!
@@geu6270 Much MUCH better !!!!!!!
Couldn't agree more, I don't like the record ver at all,, same with nobody loves you when you're down and out
I hope so
That's when you know if a musician is a real musician. When they play live. Lennon was the same when he was The Dirty Mac in the Rolling Stones Rock And Roll Circus (1968). The only thing added to "Come Together" for the production was George Harrison's guitar playing. Check out The Rolling Stones Rock And Roll Circus live videos
John : Imagine all the people, living life in peace.
Also John : How do you sleep, eh Paul?
Hypocrite
and both songs in the same album haha
@@sebastianfitzptraick7395
He acknowledged it at least lmao.
Everyone's a hypocrite, but few admit to it.
Thisis Theway it doesn’t make me like John any less just because he is a hypocrite but like he talks about peace and love but ditches his first son like what!
@@freddiebarry93 yes related becaus paul human in world ..
george is really just sittin there knowin damn well this song is about paul
I think he shared thoughts with John:/
None of these hoes are loyal
Lol. He's like just playing some guitar. Don't hear nothing
Luis Leal yeah that’s something i picked up on after watching living in the Material World world and the John and Yoko movie on Netflix. John, George And Ringo all played on each other’s post-Beatles songs at one point. Kinda makes me feel bad for Paul.
@@valvortexx5628 shut up
Even after breaking up, The Beatles were still ahead of their time with Paul making a subtle diss and John making a full diss track.
and here I thought hip hop/rappers started this whole diss track genre
George's touch on the slide is impeccable.
George was the main selling point of the Beatles as he had an encyclopedic knowledge of American guitar idioms. But for him John and Paul would be just another brill bld songwriting duo.
There was no one quite like him. It's difficult to "classify" this musician. He came from VERY humble roots, so it's no surprise that he uses restraint when he plays, which makes his music that much more enjoyable. I always thought of him as the "cherry on sundae." Just made it all complete and all worth the enjoyment.
Most people know that Ringo visited the recording of "How Do You Sleep".At one point he said:"That's enough John!"Ringo persuaded John to delete a few really nasty lines.Thank you Ringo!
And this is a guy that wants "PEACE" for the world? John was full of inconsistencies!
@@909Twodogs most great men are. Leonard Cohen for example
@@timclaridge3249 why would leonard Cohen be a good example?? (i just know the songs)
@@909Twodogs:
The whole peace and love routine was just another gimmick. He couldn´t produce great songs without Maca, George, Richie, and Martin' doctoring up his bland contributions anymore, so his excuse was that he wanted to be more earthy and raw.
Lennon, turned out to be just another limousine Liberal, ¨do as I say, not as I do¨. 🙄
@Frank:
They all withered and died after the divorce. Each had a few good albums left in them. After, it was all pretty much shite.
Paul: Subtle references in ram
John: "THE ONLY THING YOU DONE WAS YESTERDAY"
They may been subtle but they were nasty and John knew what he meant. Paul knew John would get it and he knew the lyrics would be unnoticed by the general public. Paul’s a sneaky fucker.😎
next line references "Another Day" from ram although i don't really know if it was on purpose because there's a lot of past referred in the song and how Paul has changed
Well to me, I've always looked it as their two different songwriting techniques, John was straight to the point and Paul would include metaphors and be subtle. Like obviously not for all the songs they've written but like that's what I've noticed from most of their catalogue. Imo Paul's way is better, it makes his songs more relatable, it can give the lyrics he's saying different meanings to the listener, making it easier for it to have secret meanings. Like I say thats just my opinion but yeah I would say Paul's subtle references are way better than John's straight to the point, you want to show the listener what you're feeling, not tell them, this is exactly what Paul did. Even John regretted being straight to the point in this song saying that he shouldn't of used it as a song all about Paul because it the would make a really good song without all the references
I read somewhere that the next line was originally “you probably lifted that one anyway” but was thought too litigious.
It sort of comes down to which album you prefer: Rubber Soul or Revolver.
"Imagine all the people Livin' life in peace"
"Those Freaks were right when they said you was dead"
"You live with straights who tell you, you was king...Jump when your mamma tell you anything...The only thing you done was yesterday...And since you're gone you're just another day
Oh, how do you sleep
Oh, how do you sleep at night?"
😆🤣😂😃 That one made me burst out laughing 😅🤣 Thank You! 😊
Well, that awnsers the hole question about Paul's death
😂😂😂😂 Lennon humor sense is faboulous 😂😂😂😂😂

Klaus may be the only man still standing in this magical session but all these music legends are still very much alive in our hearts just as much and more so even than the people living today due to all the great contributions they have made to the music world and all the great musical material they have brought to us. As long as the music is remembered which I can guarantee will be for generations to come, they to will also still be around.
paul is still alive.I bet he will outlive Yoko Ono.
they r playin it up in the clouds..: )
klaus killin' that bass line btw 💛🔥🤘
@@anthonydixon8967😅
Yesssssss@@murosh
George Harrison's slide playing is sublime. Just like everything else he's ever played it's sensitive and tasteful, yet fits the music perfectly.
Yes
Yes
ren hoek great observation
he get's so little credit- like ringo they always tried to serve the song. and submitted themselves to john and paul (wisely so- usually!)
Your statement is correct.
This unused take is actually a lot better than the final record imo.
Yeah that's why they reuploades this one
Most definitely!! This outtake is my favorite John Lennon song hands down!!
I totally agree
It has more groove to it. George's guitar solo isn't as good though.
@@albedo0point39 It doesnt have more groove, this one makes you feel better because you are not used to it. None of you who think this is better. But you are right Georges solo is nothing compared to the Studio version. In the studio version i can feel the way George felt about paul in that moment. It carries something heavy.
John's voice is sooo beautiful gives me chills
There's a band from my home country (new zealand) called the Doublejumps, you should check them out. It's like The Beatles music
And to think John hated his own voice
@@Maza675 Kate Bush also didn't like her own voice yet fans adored her.
He was an asshole. @@MassiveFish-hp4pm
To hear George's slide is priceless.
The funny thing is that if someone else said something like that about Paul, John would surely smash that man's head.
Indeed, it’s been confirmed by several sources close to the band that John didn’t let anyone say a bad word about Paul. Only he could do it. I recently watched the Imagine documentary, and found one scene particularly amusing. I don’t remember exactly how it went. John was mentioning something about Paul’s records, Phil Spector went: “But who wants to make Paul’s records?” and John, obviously annoyed at the comment, said something like: “But you know what I mean, it was just an example!”. Considering this song, he could’ve joined the trashing, but instead found himself annoyed and chose to cut the conversation off. Very telling.
He always loved Paul’s music, by the way. He talked a lot of shit, but his closest ones have revealed that he had people get all the records for him. He would listen to them with Yoko and either cry or smile through comments like: “There you are!”. He interpreted several loving songs as direct messages to himself. His diaries also show that he nearly obsessed over Paul throughout his life. They loved each other deeply but let their pride get in the way. None of them dared admitting the love explicitly to each other’s faces, and they were both too hurt to give in completely.
John was very protective of the Beatles as a whole and would defend them when other people would try to diss them..he said in an interview that he felt like a parent and would fiercely defend the Beatles especially when someone like Mick Jagger made some comments about the Beatles..John said I can knock the Beatles but not Mick Jagger..I think with Paul, they felt like brothers and brothers fight sometimes but Linda said one time that there’s a love between those two that no one will ever know how deep it runs..except those two.
So much ego by both of them, specially John
@@Nerkin610 John and Paul were mates since high school - and co-wrote since then. Take a look at the Sing-along segment with James Cordon and Paul McCartney - they go to Paul's childhood home - and Paul shows the piano where they'd sit and write - it's very revealing. These guys we're in each others deepest thoughts - to write songs together. So, John knew what Paul was capable of doing - but was frustrated when Paul would not do what he was capable of doing. Many of Paul's songs - including Beatles and after Beatles, are really combination of multiple songs - Paul just writes portions of songs and slams them together. Listen to any early PM solo songs "Jet", etc - they're just different partial songs put together.
bass dude was sleeping and playing at the same time
the real question is how does he sleep?
he looks high as fuck imo
its called heroin
that guy on the bass is nobody else than Klaus Voorman longtime friend of the beatles from the hamburg days and creator of the cover art of the album revolver asswell as a great artist
Being around Lennon at this time...Probably on the nod.
George's slide guitar is what makes this version beautiful to me. It's amazing how he takes liberties and does not restrict himself to same repetitive sounds, yet his understanding of melody is so deep, that it is harmonious with overall music
Right. It's hauntingly catchy, isn't it?
He makes a guitar seem to say words with the incredible way he plays and yes that’s when he slides
Yes, the George's slide guitar but also the Nicky's électric piano.
It's honestly really cool how George follows the progressions in such unpredictable ways
lmao it's funny how some people can easily amaze people just because they are so well liked.

@@randythomastheinsecures5404 no.
Agreed. 👍☀️👍
Nicky Hopkins piano really shines too - they did a lot with a weak song.
Most def...crunchy AF.
I like George's move from finger picking to pick. So smooth.
I'm glad someone else noticed that move, too - Harrison always made everything look so effortless.
He was a master. There is some incredible work in this by Harrison. That little switch was smooth as silk.
That pick was hidden and out of the way til he needed it. Pro !
He upped it like a pistol hidden in his sleeve
Would be great to see them live recording his 1st album.
The posture on the bass player is overtly hip to the point of wonder. Looks like how he sounds. Relaxed yet fully composed and focused. Easy. I like it. He sits like he knows he's very tall and is considerate of the movie goers seated behind. Gentle as needed, kind and deliberate, like his playing. Everyone is playing their ass off, yet fully seated and calm.
That’s Klaus Voorman for you.
No one but Klaus Voorman, also known for being the responsable of drawing the cover of Revolver.
George was truly a slide-guitar master. What a killer tone on that strat!
Yeah!
He learned a lot from Ry Cooder.
@@csedan510 and Elmore James
I thought he used a Gibson Les Paul Standard on this. But looking at the guitar, that's definitely a Stratocaster shaped body and not a Les Paul shaped body. Maybe he used more than one guitar on this album. I know he used a Gibson Les Paul Standard on 'Oh My Love'.
He seems to switching between a pick and finger picking. Is there more than one video being spliced together? (I don't really play guitar)
I actually like this version best. Sounds like you’re in the room with em.
I aggree
Yep, agreed.
True
I also agree. True to his nature, Phil Spector really "killed" the album version of this song with those awful strings. In fact I think most of Lennon's songs are much better "stripped down", like the more recent version of Double Fantasy released a few years ago - the songs without Yoko sound fantastic without the tacky early 80s production.
Best tune I've heard in years
The best way to record a band, when all playing together in the same room.
George's playing is so subdued and mild and clean that it just leaves you begging for more. Incredible.
"Those freaks was right when they said you was dead" daaammnnn
hahaha Lennon was a fuckin' genius
I dont understand..?
@@stevemascarenhas3140 Its a popular theory that Paul died in like 1967 and was replaced by a lookalike

No daaaammmmm at all. Just conspiracy low IQ bs.
Not just John and George but Nicky Hopkins on keys, Klaus Voormann on bass, Alan White on drums! This is a supergroup
I think Klaus used to help them when they needed a bassists before Paul decided to bite the bullet and become the full time bassists.
Plastic ono band for you
Alan White drumming is awesome thats why yes recruit him afterwards
Yeah this would have a been a great band moving forward. If only...
No number 1s made by them as a group 😒 so

True!!!! ...not so secret though
No doubt, brother!
Secret? He is known to literally everyone who is a fan of the Beatles.
VideoAmericanStyle+ I'm just saying that all the attention was focused on John and Paul. That's tough being sandwiched between those two. And he was just as great also! Dont be a Troll:)
Beatles' factoid: Klaus Voorman, the bass player on this track, also designed the The Beatles Revolver album cover in 1966.
And his girlfriend cut Klaus' hair in a Beatlelike cut first; John liked it and had her cut his that way, too. I think George quickly followed, and Paul had to join in the new fad, which would, of course, never catch on in a million years.
Great trivia.
It's also said he took a bath that year
He was one of their oldest friends! He met them in Hamburg back in 1960, along with his friends Astrid and Jurgen. They all had a big impact on the Beatles’ aesthetic.
@@1982pencil thx for sharing your great musical knowledge. Hurrah to Klaus Voorman. I am listening to Charley Pride, Merle Haggard, Jimmy Dean, Perry Como and Lorne Greene at the moment:):)

The album slide is even better because it's meaner. That's the one that blew me away! Believe it or not Yoko contributed to this version informing John How Do You Sleep is a mean spirited song, make it meaner. She was a lot smarter then people give her credit for.
Ringo: "That's enough, John."

Paul should have taken it as a compliment that his two genius brothers teamed up for this masterpiece, and it was about him. After all it is a thin line between love and hate!
And now they're dead & Paul is still sleeping just fine.
@@johnmichaelson9173 The queen's leeches won.
This was pathetically childish tbh.

@@whwnsgk All good man, just helping out other fans with my extensive Beatles knowledge!
Something about John's guitar playing just sits right. Just his strumming patterns are so tantalising to me
He’s such a complete Chad I would love to know what is going through his mind as he absolutely slams that axe with such vigor. This is the invention of indie rock recorded for posterity for all of history it’s so freakin lit
he's one of the best rythm guitarists ever. Rolling Stone magazine even put him at no.55 in their 100 greatest guitarists list.
@@kimi9572 I don’t even consider him “rhythm” all three of those lads could wield an axe. I love hearing their different shredding styles while soloing during “the end” and guessing who’s who. John always has the skiffle rough old school 50s crazy energy rock and roll sound to me in all his playing. George is like Bruce Lee in the dojo. And Paul is the bass man, the lad can groove. Hmm I guess that’s why they’re the GOATs lol
Lennon is a charismatic rythm guitar player
He mainly played up and down
“Tell me Babe!” 😂 love when John calls Paul babe
“John had done ‘How Do You Sleep’ and I nearly did a song called ‘Quite Well, Thank You’”- Paul McCartney

@@alonmuallem784 It's a few seconds into the video from the time it plays in the linked post. Just watch and pay attention.
One of the most hurting and mean songs John ever wrote. Love can be so hateful. I doubt there was anyone more sad than Paul the day John was killed
😢
Ленно супер
Yeah he almost dropped his gum.
By the time John was killed he and Paul had made up
Faul didn't appear sad on camera that day..look it up
John Lenton always had a chip on his shoulder but would regret things he said later at the same time he could come up with some great songs about life he was just human after all
We're ALL human. And most humans don't shit on their friends like this. In this respect, John was special.
This was brutal ….genius
..And the only thing you’ve done was Yesterdayyyy
…And since you’ve gone you’re just
Another Dayyyy
John Lennon’s vocals are perfect here
Something about George’s tone that is so recognizable. Instantly know it’s him.
his sliding
Something in the way he grooves!
Jays Coins, Apple & Beers George furtively played slide on many other artists’ recordings, a Belinda Carlisle song was one of strangest, Clapton teased him about it once when they were interviewed in Japan in the early ‘90s
Charles Patrick can u please elaborate, a bit more? Sounds very interesting!
All george's albums prove it!!!
So what do you want from these guys. They were feuding and both of them wrote songs lyrics going after each other. This is a great song. It's also 50 years ago, and if John had lived the feud would have not only been long forgotten but laughed about.
He doesn't leave much in question when he says "Yesterday" lol.
Klaus Voormann hands down the most laid back rocker of all time.
Indeed! And he designed the brilliant cover of Revolver...
pun intended? haha
I wouldn't call him a rocker, amazing playing but he is just too German, quite boring to watch. Beautiful playing tho
Laid back is one way to put it. Just had a bang of heroin no doubt. ;)
@@autodidacticprofessor869 Who cares?
No, John. You should NOT have stopped and had a listen. This was The Take.
I’m clearly Pro-McCartney although I think they’re all great musicians, but I can’t deny this is a groove for the ages, no matter the words. The duet of the keys and slide guitar are just great, at least John realised he didn’t mean what he’d said. This particular version is a real funky one, love it. Great job on Nicky, George and Klaus. Drums are solid as hell too.
That’s kinda what I was trying to briefly say . You did a much better job. Thanks.
The first thing that is said is what it is worth, everything else is apologies or public relations. I think John was right when he wrote the lyrics for this song. After John's death, his bandmate showed the thread wanting to change the story about each other's role in songwriting, a bad and unfortunate move on Paul's part.
@@stellapolanco6860 he was right? So he made the “momma tell you anything” (reference to Linda) and the “How do you sleep?” parts rightfully so according to you? Sounds like a whiner to me, Ram had only one lyric directed to him
Yes I agree a awesome group John Lennon a awesome singer and song writer
Pro-Macca as the absolute best harmony singer & bass playsr Lennon could ever hope to find. His actions @ the end of the band as well as since 1980 have been quite despicable imo.
George Harrison gotta be saying: even after the group's break-up, it's still about John and Paul. But I'mma lend my riffs coz it's a great tune
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Ya know what this track needs?
A McCartney Bassline.
Klaus is right in the groove with Alan, no need for Macca.
Hahaha, good one, totally agree.
A McCartney bassline... in a diss track for him?
Zack Zallie that’s the joke
Mr. Thanatogenous it was a joke
"Isn't it a pity, isn't it a shame
How we break each other's hearts, and cause each other pain
How we take each other's love without thinking any more
Forgetting to give back, now isn't it a pity."
Yeah
Listen to your own advice George
That song was written before the Beatles broke up.

Not to be dick, but the voice IS a musical instrument. Lennon had a nuclear bomb in his windpipe - and a Stradivarius.
One of my favorite Lennon voices is the chorus to "This Boy". From hushed harmony to full "overdrive" as suggested below. He imbued what are just pop lyrics with "deep conviction". His voice pulled any pop song along convincingly with signature Lennon emotion whether it's vague irony in "Norwegian Wood", or belting sexuality in "Twist and Shout".
I never cared to much what kind of "person" he was but will always wonder where he came up with those ideas for writing and singing.
Then Yoko's voice is a disaster
If Jonh lennon's voice can be a musical instrument, then mayonnaise can too!
For maximum troll points John should have credited the song to “Lennon/McCartney” 🤣
So true! ;o)
hahaha
Holy shit haha damn
Problem
Then Paul will have a royalty
Klaus and George, along with Alan White and Nicky Hopkins. Pretty nice little unit John put together there. Alan White was virtually unknown when Lennon got a hold of him
Alan White played drums for the band YES too replacing Bill Bruford.
People forget it was actually Paul who fired first shots on his first solo album.. it was just john who responded with overwhelming firepower
Yeah, I think "Too Many People" is a much better song. It was tuneful and enjoyable. This is just mean and hateful. It's revolting.
2nd solo album*
i don't think paul really said anything about the other beatles on mccartney? Except for how lonely they'd been, i guess.
@@jmarty1000 I think too many people is a poor song, and the jabs at John and yoko uncalled for and sly. John's how do you sleep is funky, groovy and musically brilliant and typically John pulls no punches, that's not jl"s style
@@jmarty1000isagree. This is a much better song. Completely uncalled for too. This was groovy af
@@jmarty1000 pues si pues, asi consume la miseria de las amistades.
John: how do you sleep?
Paul: TEMPORARYY SECRETARYYY
I know is ten years after but
LMAOOO THAT SOMG WAS A BOP THOUGH
Song*
I Can Only Sleep When I Listen to Temporary Secretary
lol
Imagine if Twitter was around back then? Paul and John full out twitter war
Paul would only reply in gifs
I'm gonna grab my popcorn 🍿😐
Dude that would be a hilarious meme to make parody twitter accounts of Paul & John's twitter war lol
Gallagher brothers be like:
Oh you know it! But they did have alot of fun each writing his own songs knocking the other. They became very competitive.
George was a natural at the slide. So spot on it really is uncanny. Adds a great texture to the music.
Love this song. Especially how the slow, laid-back groove of the music belies the savagery of the lyrics.
Great music, not a big fan of the lyrics personally.
George was there only to get back at Yoko by eating her biscuits
the bitch stole my biscuits
He was there only for John...
I get it
George's solo is one of the most underrated slide guitar solos of all time
His solo on Gimme some truth tops this by a fair bit, could listen to that on continuous loop for hours on end.
What makes you believe it's underrated?
It's arguably his best... even John Said that it was George's best slide guitar solo and he laughed when George wanted to take one more take(John said "are you joking")...
Yes...George's guitaring is so good in this song. Pity this is not one of the "popular" songs. Would have loved George to have got much more recognition for his work here.
The word underrated is banned from TH-cam. You didnt know?
What a great song brilliantly played by everyone. George's slide is sublime. Klaus's base is perfect blues line. John later said he regretted the association with Paul and wished more people saw it as just a great song. It was.
I think that's exactly how most listen to it, nowadays. So his later wishes possibly actualised.
@@Leo_nbd Nice!
Like most every Lennon song, it was introspective. But the devil on his shoulder that he was resisting was Paul. Or, rather, what Paul represented to him.
The good thing was that they both became friends again before John died
Nothing more than excuses! He saw how negative the responses was of him , klein bad mouthing Paul and his music and came out with this bs!
Crazy to think that Klaus Voorman and Yoko (who was almost 40 when this was filmed) are the only people in this who're still with us today.
Klaus looks as a mug in this too. All laid back. Good bloke he is.
yes, even Spector who appears in the background ...
Kinda crazy that she's 88
Yoko and who’re in the same sentence 😆
@@harold3165 and she is still a hot babe
George's slide is so subtle and magnificent on this track.
I want someone to caress me the way George carresses his guitar.
it takes alot of years and losing whats important oftern,for us men to learn selfless love,,its our children that can teach us that (you girls have it more naturally) but hay your a pretty lady,im sure there would be a Q To hold you
❤️❤️
George is a great womaniser
@@lepetitchat123 😂😂he flirted with maureen while married to pattie boyd
Where do you live ?
Unironically this song makes me sleep better XD
I love the guitar work from John an George, it just shows how good they were in their own way, John keeps such a great groove which is what made him such a good backing guitarist for the Beatles, and George just follows that with a lead guitar that serves the song perfectly
rip george and john
If Klaus gets anymore relaxed he may just fall asleep.
Is that the drummer?
@@cesar-fr5hj Bass player.
Ja, any more stoned and i'll take over the bass :)
Klaus was a cool kraut. We Love You KLAUS
@@graemeknox1275 He looks completely wacked out here. I'm surprised he got through it.
John said this was a lash out that he eventually realized was really about himself.
I find it so awesome that it was actually john who first played slide guitar in one of George's songs (for you blue - let it be) , and this was almost like george returning the favour which in turn gave us such an awesome slide guitar sound!!❤❤
🎶🎶“go johnny go”🎶🎶
George is the most gently guitar in a all rock music
Peter Green
@Kevin Oscar Clapton
Just hear it weep
A Lonely Lizard Ha, nice.
Loved Paul's response when hearing the track. " Very well thank You. "
🤣🤣😊
Where do u see that response? Its recorded?
John: th-cam.com/video/FoJQAyrUHhA/w-d-xo.html
Paul: th-cam.com/video/kWFehaQEMYI/w-d-xo.html
Faul's response.
Paul's a punk.
Super canción, al puro estilo de Lennon, cruda, real y directa. Siempre habló sin tapujos.
Y George Harrison también se lo dijo pero con su slide.
John Lennon: Imagine all the people living life in peace
Also John Lennon: makes a song trashing his former best friend on the same album
Paul did it first tho
It was a reply to Paul's song Too Many People. It's just a song. Shouldn't affect you so much. They got over it probably before you were born!
Same album too
The poison was in the video.
One of the things I love most about the Beatles is they so fully captured the spirit of being human in their music. A song about peace followed by a dis track is so freaking human.
The original diss track, John is dropping some bombs over here
I think Too Many People by Paul came first
The poetry of ancient Arabia came first
He was singing about Faul, not Paul, ergo beginning with Pepper. John was a genius and would never have dissed his best friend so he made it about Faul as clear as he could without giving it away and being clipped even earlier than he was.
Jerry Foster It did.
@@veritasinvicta8128 he was know to imitate people with down syndrome, so i don't see why dissing his former friend would be such a suprise
every second of this song is gold
How George coyuld play that and hold a straight face without laughing his ass off is beyond me
He was just a bitter moron. I don't think there was much humor in him when he was singing this shit.
why would he be laughing lol
I'm with you. What would be funny to Harrison?
@@TheClimberbob1 Maybe he was referring to this track dissing Paul?
@@natehunt3415 I think that's the case. xx
My man Klaus just sitting there with his bass playing with 2 beatles
ALL you need is Klaus. Having Paul join on this one: That would be something, really sould be something....!
Klaus knew the Beatles even before they were famous from their time in Hamburg, Germany.
PassCookie Everybody else got mansions but Klaus and Pete.
@@nicoliro Was where?...
Ringo wasn't on this song but he remained indifferent towards Paul. He didn't want the drama. It was everyone against Paul except Ringo because Ringo was friendly with everyone.
Like all families, the Beatles would argue, piss each other off, be nasty to each other. At the end of the day, they loved each other more than anything.
@James Fehr Come on, James. All you need is love. Oh, and how do you sleep at night making a comment like that?
Absolutely! Thank you for seeing that. They would just go to very childish extremes.
@James Fehr if thats how you think, then that will become your reality. Those were the goals they wished for all earthlings, but dont forget they were human too. As long as anyone is human they are bound to make mistakes even contrary to their philosophical ideals.You become a better man to take responsibility for those mistakes, apologise and resolve to do better the next time. No one's perfect, we are a work in progress, our Creator is not done with us yet. "You may think I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one."
This 'raw' recording legit sounds quite a lot better than the album version
I only just clicked thats why george gives such amazing guitar work on this track he's giving McCartney the middle finger as well
Lennon's killing the vocal here..great natural overdriven distortion. Genius
He really is. That raspy tone is really great.
i prefer his vocals in this versus the released version sounds more natural
John nailed it, when he wrote that to Paul. He sued the other Beatles when they broke up. We have Alan White on drums, later he played with the group called YES. They were a progressive rock band
"only thing you done, was yesterday" shits on point yo....
George Harrison slide playing is hypnotic. Amazing video
John : "Pretty face last a year or two, soon people will see what you can do"
Paul : going strong in his 80s, best looking grandpa ever
Looks like my auntie, now. LOL
@@arricammarques1955 Lmao
afif choirul.
Everyone sees what they want to see, that's why our truths are relative and not absolute.
Not in his 80s just yet but sure
This version kills the album version
Almost, the bass on the album version is so desirable. So thick and punchy.
Yeah, love George's slide guitar on this version
@@toma411 Forgot that as well. Love how it's all the way through. How it should of been.
Omg yes. George just MAKES this version.
You’re right. John’s voice is much better fitting here, sounds so angry and pure
Everybody should write a blistering song to their best friend. I'm sure it would be very cathartic.
Great guitar from George.
There's a band from my home country (new zealand) called the Doublejumps, you should check them out. It's like The Beatles music
How is everyone gonna ignore how good Johns natural rasp is ?
Practice my friend
why? And smoking
That's called heroin hun.
Brad Walsh give me some of that shit then
@Amnesty Hop Hop:
Who's ignoring it??
Early 70's George was like.. Damn boy!! The beard, the hair, the slide..
Yupp he really came through in the late 60s...
