The Beatles have something for everyone, The Beatles at their worst wrote some of the catchiest pop songs, and at their best wrote some of the most significant songs for a generation that still remain timeless
Definitely -- they definitely matured/changed over the years too. I always say I like the Beatles once they started smoking pot lol -- Love their later stuff!
George Harrison also wrote “Something” which according to Frank Sinatra (I think) and others said it was the greatest love song ever written! And it is absolutely beautiful.
Yes , and Frank was funny since he said it was the greatest 'Beatle' song he'd ever heard ---- leaving quiet George out of the recognition he deserved.
You're correct. Mr. Sinatra was not a fan of rock and roll at all, but among many other talents he was great at recognizing great songs.speaking of great Beatles songs check out Here there everywhere
At a tribute to George Harrison, Tom Petty and others played this song. Prince was invited to do the end solo and killed it. One of his best guitar solos.
BTW. Prince wasn’t invited. Look for the interview with Dhani Harrison where he says Prince crashed the jam on a borrowed Telecaster and, when Dhani motions to Tom Petty and Jeff Lynne, they both shrug as if to say “Let Prince be Prince!”
Yeah Prince invited himself to participate. He really didn't belong there. Sure, his performance was superb, but his egotism really detracted from my appreciation of it.
This song is fire. George Harrison was a genius singer/songwriter. Eric Clapton was guest guitarist and took no credit on the album but you know it’s him. Brilliant, just Brillant song. Still gives me chills since 1970.❤love it! It sounds simple but is a musically complex song.
I can't tell you how nice it is to have such young people getting what they did. These guys literally changed the world. That's not what they set out to do but it is what they did. They were a cataclysmic event that I am so happy I got to live through. I remember the world before the Beatles and I know the world after the Beatles and they are not the same worlds. Thank God for those guys. They made us all better even if that's not what they were trying to do. They did. Love you guys.
I'm 76 years old. My husband's cousin was Pete Best (the Beatles' first drummer). They stayed with his family during their first tour of the U.S. I've heard so many stories about that visit. Wish I had been there.
George Harrison wrote this and Eric Clapton played the guitar (the only outside guitarist to ever play on a Beatles record, one song). Listen to "Something" by the Beatles, Another Harrison song.
I did not know that story about Eric Clapton playing guitar on this because Harrison was a freaking guitarist but that's kind of cool. My favorite track is Eleanor Rigby but that's just me. Few weeks ago I asked my pop what Beatles song did he think was my favorite? When I told him Eleanor Rigby was very surprised. Those guys were pumping out so many freaking hits. I'll admit it was long long before my time but my pop was a kid. Eleanor Rigby because I like the lyrics and the double meanings. Thanks for helping me out with that do trivia that I can do it somebody about Eric Clapton on guitar on this track. If they do not have a Beatles board trivia game, they should. Sometimes it's just cool to play something like Monopoly and the old school way. If they do have a Beatles trivia board game that is cool, but if they don't one of you guys use the idea and get the patent because I'm pretty freaking sure that it would sell just because of the Nostalgia of a board game but then of course the Beatles and that Nostalgia and and everybody like trivia usually.

The live performance of this song at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is awesome! They have an ensemble group of musicians and Prince steals the show with his guitar solo
RIP George Harrison. He had an amazing career in and out of the Beatles. Other George songs you would love, My sweet lord and Here comes the sun. So good!
I always felt one of the best pieces George ever wrote (even though I've never heard him sing a version of it) was "Isn't It A Pity". I love Nina Simone's cover of it, and I have no problem listening to Eric Clapton's version either.
One of my all time favourite Beatles songs...it's just a hauntingly beautiful song with powerful lyrics from George Harrrison and a terrific lead guitar performance from Eric Clapton.

@@827dusty you're thinking in absolutes. The world can get better. It doesn't mean EVERYTHING in the world will be 100% better, but even a small part would be great.
The Beatles songs that sounded “different “ were by George Harrison. He knew what’s up with the world... very spiritual man. His first solo album,”All Things Must Pass”is amazing. I got it in high school, but didn’t really get into the lyrics until I was older. George has become my favorite Beatle. George wrote and performed the biggest love song ever”Something “...also great is “Here Comes the Sun”,and “Think For Yourself “from Rubber Soul album. My 2 favorite Beatles albums are “Rubber Soul” and “Revolver”. One of their BEST songs is “Rain”, which was the “B” side of “Paperback Writer”. When I was about 9 yrs old I purchased “Paperback Writer”, and once I played “Rain” my allegiance changed. “Rain” is a very overlooked song... unbelievable bass, and the first time backward masking was used.
George was working on a higher plain than everyone else. I’ve got “all things must pass” surrounding a wheel of life (the wheel on the flag of India 🇮🇳) tattooed on my feet
One of George Harrison’s masterpieces. People finally started to pay attention to his songwriting after always being overshadowed by Lennon/McCartney in that department. He knocked this one out of the park. Such a beautiful song. Love your reaction. There’s a lot more for you to discover. Keep em coming. 🥰
Ok, here are some vibes I think ya’ll will like: Here Comes The Sun, Yesterday, Let It Be, Strawberry Fields Forever, Something, Across The Universe, All You Need Is Love, In My Life. Hope that helps. Every one of them is amazing. ❤️
Marie that's a great bunch of songs they should listen to especially since there are so many I mean the whole Abbey Road album the entire White Album are classics they just need to listen to them and they'll love She's So Heavy also
@@johnsaldana8667 I meant to say thanks! Absolutely-so many. As far as albums go, besides their first one, those two albums are obvious choices for top two.
@@paw9213 Paul played bass, Lennon wasn't there the day when most of this song was recorded and it was a slight that Harrison never fully forgave him for.
The most pleasurable part of growing up with the Beatles was listening to them over and over again, along with the excitement, anticipation, musical adventure and inward growth that came with each new album.
One of the most iconic moments in music history! George Harrison wrote a masterpiece, he was such a classy and beautiful soul and a magnificient musician. My absolute favorite. Thanks for the great reaction!
"A Day in the Life"..."She's Leaving Home"..."If I Fell"..."Things We Said Today"..."The Night Before"..."You're Gonna Lose That Girl"...."I'll Follow The Sun"..."Norwegian Wood"..."Eleanor Rigby"..."I'm Fixin' A Hole"..."Because".."Paperback Writer"..."Taxman"..."Fool on the Hill"..."When I'm 64"...Those should get you started...And that's just scratching the surface.
I'm a loser All my loving Hard days night I don't want to spoil the party Wait And your bird can sing Sexy Sadie Rain For no one I'm only sleeping And SOOO many more
You hit the nail on the head Amber in your commentary about the difference between todays music scene versus that of the 60's and 70's. Back then, commercial success and fame were the result of the artistic output, creativity and passion. It was art first. Now it seems that celebrity, fame and money, are the goals, artistry just seems accidental. Today's "artists" hide their lack of talent with "production values", 25 dancers, light shows and fireworks
Love Eric Clapton guitar solo work in this song w/Beatles. Weeps is right. Glad you are enjoying your musical journey. Keep it up. I grew up in the 60's/70's and music was the best.
Me too!😁 Graduated in 1970!🤫 My first concert was Led Zeppelin during my senior year.🤩 First acid trip too!🤯 We were so blessed to be young during those times.😋 I miss those days but the music takes me back there to visit.🤗 The music revolution from '65 to '75 literally changed the world!😳 And we were there!😅🤣❤✌
It's hard to impart the magnitude of how much mastery is in this song, when engineering tricks and studio digitizing make today's music sound polished - but this stuff towers over today's sound by hundreds of feet.
Rob & Amber… I was 6 when I saw the Beatles at Shea Stadium in ‘65… I saw them on their first appearance on The Ed Sullivan Show in ‘64… to be able to listen to them grow as a band and listen to all the new sounds they introduced … I’m 65 now and let me tell you growing up as a kid in the ‘60s and being exposed to all that awesome music will be something I will never forget! I enjoy you guys… keep up the good work and please control explore more music of The Beatles… y’all will love it!!!
One of my all time favs. I listen to it on a regular basis so I’m super stoked you are doing this. George was an amazing songwriter. You can tell because the music has held up for 50 years. Please do more Beatles. Anything is good for me. As in, ANYTHING. Love you guys. Hope Amber is feeling as well as she looks! You guys must be so excited!🤘🏼🔥❤️
Love ❤️ the both of you. Thank you 🙏 for the music ❤. You two make a lovely couple. May you live as long as you want. May you never want as long as you live.✌️
You both remind me of how lucky I am to be a child of the 60’s. The radio brought hit after amazing hit to us every single hour of every single day. There was no TH-cam, no internet, the only way we heard new groups was through the radio and what a wonderful way to hear new music and be introduced to so many different artists! By far, the Beatles were the group that influenced my life the most. Enjoy your reactions so much.
So, you've found George Harrison. His songs are amazing. You should try some of his solo material. Wah-Wah My Sweet Lord Let it Down Apple Scruffs Beware of Darkness
Bravo. I’m 73 . I was in high school when the Beatles started the so called British Invasion and I have always felt I was a young man during the golden age of popular music and the Beatles were the apex of that era. I am delighted to see you perceive that the music is different than anything on the pop charts today. Melodically, harmonically and lyrically it is of a higher standard and I have listened to a good sampling of contemporary popular music. I was also a young man before the music video began to dominate the pop music field, a development many people at the time predicted would be the death of popular music. When the video I.e. what Aristotle called the spectacle , for the eyes becomes more important than the music itself you have a problem. I used to tell my. music history classes that you will need to accept 3 aesthetic ideas to progress in your understanding of music in all it’s forms. 1) popularity is rarely a measure of artistic merit 2) what you like or dislike is , by itself , no measure of artistic merit . 3) you can like a work of art (song, painting, movie, sculpture book etc. without enjoying it. Keep stretching you ear.
Jordan says this is the Beatles song he's been waiting for and I say this is my favorite Beatles song of all time having come out on my 19th birthday! Yes, he's bemoaning the state of humanity.
You have just played my favourite song of all time. A George Harrison classic. You MUST watch the live recording of Prince, Jeff Lynne (ELO) and Eric Clapton in early 2000 playing this song at George Harrison’s entry into the Music Hall of Fame (as George had recently died). It’s an absolutely amazing live performance and one of the best live guitar solos I have ever seen by Prince. Thanks guys for letting us enjoy watching you enjoy our music for the first time. It proves to me that our music isn’t dead. It just skipped a few generations. Keep rockin !!!!!!
You MUST watch this version. Prince's guitar solo is outstanding! George Harrison's son is also in the line up. Search while my guitar gently weeps Tom Petty and others
I think a greater power brought these 4 lads from England together. No other explanation. I've loved the Beatles since I was 5 in 1963. I was a John girl. ✌🌻🌻
Timeless. Superb. George Harrison who wrote this song for The Beatles said that The Beatles will still be around long after all The Beatles are gone. How true is that?
The Beatles songs ‘Eleanor Rigby’ heavy on the violins, violas, and cellos; and ‘Got to Get you Into my Life’, awesome trumpets and sax. These songs will make your day.
"I've Just Seen a Face" and "Ticket to Ride" are brilliant mid-60s Beatles that show the shift from more simple tunes to complex musicality. They're also (sadly) pretty overlooked by other reactors....try them, you'll love 'em!
Listen to a live Cream jam. This is great, but fairly basic for Clapton by a technical standpoint. Clapton at the time was considered by many to be the greatest guitarist in the world. He’d soon be eclipsed by Jimi a year or two later. Jimmy Page and Zep were about to debut.
The solo here from Georges friend Eric Clapton is quite possibly Eric's best ever guitar solo, and I mean I'm keeping this right up there with White Room and Crossroads, the string bending and finger vibrato are incomparable .. my god it's as good as Dave Gilmour may have done if he was offered the job.. Well done George and Eric and all Beatles concerned, this is a classic!!!
The Beatles are one of the two arguably most important rock bands in music history (the other being The Beach Boys), not necessarily for their popularity but for their contributions to composition and production and musical styles. John Lennon is the rhythm guitarist, who plays the song's primary melody. He also occasionally plays piano and, I think, bass. Paul McCartney is the bass guitar player, which is also part of the rhythm section, playing the deeper notes of the melody. He's also a pianist and occasional drummer on Beatles songs. George Harrison is the lead guitarist, who plays the flourishes and guitar solos. Ringo Starr is the drummer. Most of The Beatles songs were co-written by Lennon and McCartney, and they alternate on lead singing on most of the songs. But all, or most, of The Beatles albums feature songs written and sung by Harrison or Starr. This one was written and performed by George Harrison, for instance. Neither were considered great singers, so songs were usually written especially for their vocal range. The importance of The Beatles comes in the sheer number of musical styles they employed, from boy band style pop songs, to psychedelic rock, progressive rock, and even heavy metal (Helter Skelter is widely considered the first heavy metal song, but has also been described as Punk or even Grunge). They also employed innovative production techniques for mixing tracks, and utilized non-traditional (often Indian) instrumentation and even non-musical sound effects. In America The Beach Boys were sort of a mirror for The Beatles, also employing complex compositions and arrangements and production, and they're associated with a wide range of genres as well, from pop rock dance music to progressive rock. Between The Beatles and The Beach Boys they pretty much invented every major genre of rock and roll music that later evolved throughout the 1970s and 1980s. Definitely a worthy deep dive to get into both of these bands, a super deep rabbit hole. And yeah, there really isn't a "sound" you can associate broadly with either of them, since their musical styles varied so widely. No two songs sound alike, just like you said.
You need to know, each member wrote songs and they sang the lead on their own songs. While my guitar weeps was all George at his best.RIP George and John.
Ahhh, The Beatles had a special knack of making the simplest of songs sound sooooo nice! Your body language says it all. That's George Harrison on lead vocals. He wrote some of their best songs, like "Here Comes the Sun" and "I Need You". Great reaction! P.S. The next Beatles song you experience will become your new FAVORITE Beatles song LOL.☮☮☮
I watched on tv as the Beatles made their first appearance in America on the Ed Sullivan show. I was hooked on them from that point on. I have lived with all of the great music that was made from that point on. I got to experience how those songs were relative to the era when they came out. You are lucky, in a way, as you can just reach into the files and pull up one of those songs. It was a great time to have grown up in and I really appreciate your deep understanding of those songs in their timeframe.
George really did a great job catching the emotion of the song with his guitar. Side note: Eric Clapton (best friend) fell in love with George’s wife and wrote the song Layla about her.
and it's 'Lucy' Eric is playing in the song. He later gave George the guitar called 'Lucy' as an gesture after sleeping with his wife. John Sebastian bought it new in '63 I guess, later sold it to Rick Derringer who painted it Red, the decided he didn't like the color and sold it. Eric bought it then later gave it to George. George loved that guitar.
Hi Jay, now this is MUCH MUCH better. This is a George Harrison written & sung song. And this is easily in the top 5 Beatles songs of ALL TIME!! The Beatles magic is on full display here!!
I lived through all of this from an early age. The Beatles' first appearance on The Ed Sullivan Show that introduced them to the US mainstream was just before my tenth birthday. They have been the soundtrack to my entire life. I am just thrilled to see you feel the same things I felt back then. You guys get it. I can't think of anything better.
Neither could George. He felt only one person could do it perfectly - his friend Eric Clapton. And I’m sure George was looking down and smiling when Prince took it to another level.
I just went back to Prince's solo and gave it a good listen. I have heard it several times before and thought I should listen to it more carefully this time to see if I still fest the same way about it. It didn't change my mind, his guitar solo just doesn't impress me that much. The technical skills he used any good 2nd or 3rd year guitarist could do. It was his many ears of experience and knowledge of the fret board that allowed for a somewhat impressive solo.
@@dinodasbunce6224 Eh, I wouldn't say that. I do enjoy Clapton's solo more, but I am biased because he is my favorite guitarist. Prince's solo was definitely smooth and technically impressive.
Listen to this song (live) on the George Harrison memorial concert (after his death). Eric Clapton pays tribute along with George's son Dhani. Such a powerful moment!
Eleanor Rigby is my very favorite song by the Beatles. It's a little rare because most people would not choose Eleanor Rigby as their favorite Beatles track like I
@@choice12ozborne It's my favorite too. Even when I did not understand english and did not know what the lyrics were about, the music was incredible to my ears.
Tony, haunting hits the nail right on the head. The songs probably only 60 years or so old but hangs in there with the best of them as do the Beatles!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The Beatles, (nor ANY human band) could have EVER have created the extremely DEEP and soul touching sounds and music they did without the Lord's Blessing of Freedom of that time. Thank you Lord for giving them, and the young people of that period, the Freedom you did...
I think there was a induction into the Music Hall of Fame of several candidates and they played this song. Prince was one of the inductees, if I'm not mistaken, and played one of the best guitar solo's ever...plus a little extra levitation at the end...lol! It's a Definite must see!
Unending great Beatles tunes: Here Comes The Sun, Get Back, Lady Madonna, Yesterday, Birthday, on and on. They could do any music and do it well. Literally hundreds of songs you can check out.
As I continue my journey with your channel guys I like it more and more, also the first song from The Beatles I see here is a favorite of mine and it happens to be practically the first one you both heard and loved from them as well. This song is epic, the lyrics, the sweet voice, the guitar weeping. By now I see you have done many Beatles reactions, and I'm sure you have been delighted with every single song along the way.
i'm not really into cover versions, no matter how well done or spectacular or in other peoples opinion 'better' the cover is, i always feel a cover loses a little bit of soul. Joe Cockers version of WALHFMF is, however, IMO, the greatest cover version of all time.
There was a tremendous amount of turmoil in the world at the time... Vietnam..assassinations... protests...etc....so yes Rob you are correct. His guitar is weeping in tandem with a broken world...
This is so old that electric guitars were a new technology, and recording to magnetic tape was in its infancy. Most guitar FX hadn't been invented yet. Yet they produced an incredibly sophisticated and layered sound.
I grew up with this music and still play it. I thank you guys for featuring so many British bands and artists. One element missing from your experience is nostalgia. When I listen to the music you feature and discuss I am transported back to a place long ago and a different world from which we live in today. Peace and love to you. ✌
Another stellar George Harrison composition (along with this song, “Something”, and many others is the song “Beware Of Darkness” from his first solo album “All Things Must Pass”If I’m not mistaken, “All Things Must Pass” is also the very first triple album ever recorded for commercial sale.
♥ this song! I suggest the following Beatles songs: Norwegian Wood, Yesterday, In My Life, Revolution #1, Let It Be, Get Back, Eleanor Rigby, Something, Here Comes The Sun, Help, Nowhere Man, I'm A Loser, Across The Universe, Strawberry Fields Forever & Helter Skelter
Agreed with all. Norwegian Wood is so underrated and beautiful. Tomorrow Never Knows is oddly one of my favorites, which is weird and no one ever agrees.
Try some solo George Harrison (this is one of George's songs). "Give Me Love (Give Me Peace on Earth)," "My Sweet Lord," "All Things Must Pass." Many to choose from.
One of my absolutely fav Beatles and Harrison songs. Timeless masterpiece with one of the best guitar solos Eric Clapton ever played - and that means a lot! With bringing his friend Eric into the studio saved the band from breaking up even earlier than they did.
The great Eric Clapton adds his confident guitar to this Beatles classic, written by George Harrison, who was his friend. This one of the few of his songs by George that helped define the Beatles late period studio prowess. Another composition by George does it again with measured elegance of his song called, 'Something'. Look into each others eyes when listening to this.
When George first presented this the rest of the guys realised it was special. George was even allowed to bring in an extra lead guitarist, Eric Clapton, to get the sound that he wanted. The bass line is duplexed, probably John on the 6 string bass playing with Paul on the 4 string. I think this was the first use of 8 track recording as well.
I have to say that the best version of this was played at the 'Concert For George' 2001. Eric Clapton and Paul McCartney together was sensational but Eric played out of his skin, you could feel his love for George.
Yeah, everyone talks about the Prince solo version, but this tribute was much more tasteful in my opinion while still being masterful in it's own way. Not to mention so touching when thinking about all the musicians on that stage just absolutely jamming to celebrate George's memory. When his son Dhani came over and thanked Clapton at the end it just made me finally break down in tears.
The Beatles have something for everyone, The Beatles at their worst wrote some of the catchiest pop songs, and at their best wrote some of the most significant songs for a generation that still remain timeless
Well said.
Definitely -- they definitely matured/changed over the years too. I always say I like the Beatles once they started smoking pot lol -- Love their later stuff!
So succinctly put! :) ❤️
@@kierstenridgway4634 without a doubt!

Smaller body of work, but wrote the best Beatles titles.
At a tribute to George Harrison, Tom Petty and others played this song. Prince was invited to do the end solo and killed it. One of his best guitar solos.

The “Others” included Dhani Harrison (spitting image of his dad,) Jeff Lynne, Steve Cropper, GE Smith, Ray Cooper, Phil Collins, Paul Schaffer…

50 years on it is still difficult to express what this group achieved and the world it changed.
George explained it as His dismay at the world's unrealized potential for universal love, which he refers to as "the love there that's sleeping"

Ok, here are some vibes I think ya’ll will like: Here Comes The Sun, Yesterday, Let It Be, Strawberry Fields Forever, Something, Across The Universe, All You Need Is Love, In My Life. Hope that helps. Every one of them is amazing. ❤️
Marie that's a great bunch of songs they should listen to especially since there are so many I mean the whole Abbey Road album the entire White Album are classics they just need to listen to them and they'll love She's So Heavy also
@@johnsaldana8667 I meant to say thanks! Absolutely-so many. As far as albums go, besides their first one, those two albums are obvious choices for top two.
Marie they should listen to Let It Be I love when people first Listen to Let It Be everybody always cries LOL
I would add I'll Follow the Sun
@@billgappmayer7911 you absolutely right. 🌞
The bass tone on this song shouldn’t be overlooked. It sounds so chunky and fantastic. Tube preamps for the win.
Paul played piano in this song.
@@paw9213 John played organ. Paul’s on both piano and Fender Jazz Bass
John on 6 strings bass here. Organ played George Martin.
Actually, I think that’s George overdubbing Fender Bass VI.
@@paw9213 Paul played bass, Lennon wasn't there the day when most of this song was recorded and it was a slight that Harrison never fully forgave him for.
The most pleasurable part of growing up with the Beatles was listening to them over and over again, along with the excitement, anticipation, musical adventure and inward growth that came with each new album.
One of the most iconic moments in music history! George Harrison wrote a masterpiece, he was such a classy and beautiful soul and a magnificient musician. My absolute favorite. Thanks for the great reaction!
This is my favorite Beatles song. Great reaction from you both.
One of the most hauntingly serious songs the Beatles have done
It was a Harrison/Clapton collaberation
@@gmatt200 Ya. What’s depressing is that we are still killing children.
60 years later and it’s gotten worse.
No Gary. George wrote it by himself and Clapton played lead. They did co-write Badge for Cream though.
"A Day in the Life"..."She's Leaving Home"..."If I Fell"..."Things We Said Today"..."The Night Before"..."You're Gonna Lose That Girl"...."I'll Follow The Sun"..."Norwegian Wood"..."Eleanor Rigby"..."I'm Fixin' A Hole"..."Because".."Paperback Writer"..."Taxman"..."Fool on the Hill"..."When I'm 64"...Those should get you started...And that's just scratching the surface.
Don't Forget "Twist And Shout"
Norwegian Wood with the sitar is the bomb.
I'm a loser

All are wonderful! A great beginner's course in Beatledom.
You hit the nail on the head Amber in your commentary about the difference between todays music scene versus that of the 60's and 70's. Back then, commercial success and fame were the result of the artistic output, creativity and passion. It was art first. Now it seems that celebrity, fame and money, are the goals, artistry just seems accidental. Today's "artists" hide their lack of talent with "production values", 25 dancers, light shows and fireworks
Exactamente 🔆
"The Beatles made the world a better place to live".
As great a lead guitarist that GEORGE was, the lead in this studio version is actually Eric Clapton.
Years later Eric Clapton did the song, and George Harrisson did the slide guitar
George played lead. Clapton only played the solo.
@@willdwyer6782 yep, tru
And in a really weird f’ed up way it also gave us Layla so you know… two-fer
Yup! ya beat me to it!
Love Eric Clapton guitar solo work in this song w/Beatles. Weeps is right. Glad you are enjoying your musical journey. Keep it up. I grew up in the 60's/70's and music was the best.
Me too!😁 Graduated in 1970!🤫 My first concert was Led Zeppelin during my senior year.🤩 First acid trip too!🤯 We were so blessed to be young during those times.😋 I miss those days but the music takes me back there to visit.🤗 The music revolution from '65 to '75 literally changed the world!😳 And we were there!😅🤣❤✌
@@tomaleshire4145 Me 1976 in the S.F. bay area which explains a lot. lol. I'm an AC/DC fan, my first trip. ah the good old days.
It's hard to impart the magnitude of how much mastery is in this song, when engineering tricks and studio digitizing make today's music sound polished - but this stuff towers over today's sound by hundreds of feet.
People don,t realize that almost all of the Beatles songs were recorded on only 4 tracks,,Amazing what they put down in the studio!!
Very well said. Your so right, the more time passes the more I turn back to the 60s and 70s for my music. Todays stuff is without soul.
There wasn't then, there isn't now, and never will there ever be anyone like them again
Rob & Amber… I was 6 when I saw the Beatles at Shea Stadium in ‘65… I saw them on their first appearance on The Ed Sullivan Show in ‘64… to be able to listen to them grow as a band and listen to all the new sounds they introduced … I’m 65 now and let me tell you growing up as a kid in the ‘60s and being exposed to all that awesome music will be something I will never forget! I enjoy you guys… keep up the good work and please control explore more music of The Beatles… y’all will love it!!!
The Beatles wrote so many tunes that are beyond their years and are iconic and no one will ever step up to their level.
One of my all time favs. I listen to it on a regular basis so I’m super stoked you are doing this. George was an amazing songwriter. You can tell because the music has held up for 50 years. Please do more Beatles. Anything is good for me. As in, ANYTHING. Love you guys. Hope Amber is feeling as well as she looks! You guys must be so excited!🤘🏼🔥❤️
GEORGE HARRISON WROTE THE MOST BEAUTIFUL SONGS! LOVE HIS VOICE! HIS ALBUM; ALL THINGS MUST PASS IS ONE OF THE GREATEST ALBUMS EVER RECORDED! 💖
In my opinion, the GREATEST of the Beatles solo albums (and that's saying a lot!)
Check out the same song with Prince.
th-cam.com/video/6SFNW5F8K9Y/w-d-xo.html
Love ❤️ the both of you. Thank you 🙏 for the music ❤. You two make a lovely couple. May you live as long as you want. May you never want as long as you live.✌️
You both remind me of how lucky I am to be a child of the 60’s. The radio brought hit after amazing hit to us every single hour of every single day. There was no TH-cam, no internet, the only way we heard new groups was through the radio and what a wonderful way to hear new music and be introduced to so many different artists! By far, the Beatles were the group that influenced my life the most. Enjoy your reactions so much.
The great Eric Clapton on lead guitar 🔥🔥🎸
Clapton the creep cheated with Harrison’s wife
He fell in love with her
@@josephjohnson7256 George and Eric stayed good friends
@@josephjohnson7256 clappy is a Total POS for that among other things.
So, you've found George Harrison. His songs are amazing. You should try some of his solo material.
Wah-Wah
My Sweet Lord
Let it Down
Apple Scruffs
Beware of Darkness
..."He's So Fine"
oh, wait, never mind ;-]
'Tears of the World'
Apple Scruffs is a great song. Underrated & rarely played on the radio.
Also Isn’t It A Pity.
Also Got My Mind Set on You!
Bravo. I’m 73 . I was in high school when the Beatles started the so called British Invasion and I have always felt I was a young man during the golden age of popular music and the Beatles were the apex of that era. I am delighted to see you perceive that the music is different than anything on the pop charts today. Melodically, harmonically and lyrically it is of a higher standard and I have listened to a good sampling of contemporary popular music. I was also a young man before the music video began to dominate the pop music field, a development many people at the time predicted would be the death of popular music. When the video I.e. what Aristotle called the spectacle , for the eyes becomes more important than the music itself you have a problem. I used to tell my. music history classes that you will need to accept 3 aesthetic ideas to progress in your understanding of music in all it’s forms. 1) popularity is rarely a measure of artistic merit 2) what you like or dislike is , by itself , no measure of artistic merit . 3) you can like a work of art (song, painting, movie, sculpture book etc. without enjoying it. Keep stretching you ear.
George is so powerful. A whole 'nuther level. 💜
Jordan says this is the Beatles song he's been waiting for and I say this is my favorite Beatles song of all time having come out on my 19th birthday! Yes, he's bemoaning the state of humanity.
You have just played my favourite song of all time. A George Harrison classic. You MUST watch the live recording of Prince, Jeff Lynne (ELO) and Eric Clapton in early 2000 playing this song at George Harrison’s entry into the Music Hall of Fame (as George had recently died). It’s an absolutely amazing live performance and one of the best live guitar solos I have ever seen by Prince. Thanks guys for letting us enjoy watching you enjoy our music for the first time. It proves to me that our music isn’t dead. It just skipped a few generations. Keep rockin !!!!!!
You MUST watch this version. Prince's guitar solo is outstanding! George Harrison's son is also in the line up. Search while my guitar gently weeps Tom Petty and others
Don't forget George's son DHANI; he is a talented musician and played at the ceremony! 💙
Now you've discovered Tom Petty this is a must!
George's and Paul's voices always mesh together so well.
Prince guitar solo of this song at George Harrison’s memorial concert, EPIC!
The absolute best and George Harrisons' son is playing with the other Music Gods on it too.
@@robindavisduckworth8992 I love the look on Dahni’s face when Prince falls back into the crowd while playing lead guitar 😁
@@talkingdonkey1817 i wish they would compare the two versions.
It was the 2004 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony. Prince was inducted and George Harrison was posthumously inducted.
It's hard to see Prince on stage off to the right through most of the song, but then he magically appears near the end and lights the house on fire! 🔥
I think a greater power brought these 4 lads from England together. No other explanation. I've loved the Beatles since I was 5 in 1963. I was a John girl. ✌🌻🌻
Timeless. Superb. George Harrison who wrote this song for The Beatles said that The Beatles will still be around long after all The Beatles are gone. How true is that?
The Beatles songs ‘Eleanor Rigby’ heavy on the violins, violas, and cellos; and ‘Got to Get you Into my Life’, awesome trumpets and sax. These songs will make your day.
"I've Just Seen a Face" and "Ticket to Ride" are brilliant mid-60s Beatles that show the shift from more simple tunes to complex musicality. They're also (sadly) pretty overlooked by other reactors....try them, you'll love 'em!
Here are some great Beatles tunes "Got to Get You Into My Life", "Eleanor Rigby", "Day Tripper", "In My Life", "Come Together", "Let it Be"
Also Free as a Bird or Black bird
Also when we was fab :D
@@thecoconutgum Blackbird for sure. Free as a Bird wasn't really a Beatles song
@@markthompson7983 Wdym
And around 178 more!
That's some of the best playing Eric Clapton ever did.
Definitely great but don't think you've heard much Clapton! Should have seen him live in those days!
Listen to a live Cream jam. This is great, but fairly basic for Clapton by a technical standpoint. Clapton at the time was considered by many to be the greatest guitarist in the world. He’d soon be eclipsed by Jimi a year or two later. Jimmy Page and Zep were about to debut.
The solo here from Georges friend Eric Clapton is quite possibly Eric's best ever guitar solo, and I mean I'm keeping this right up there with White Room and Crossroads, the string bending and finger vibrato are incomparable .. my god it's as good as Dave Gilmour may have done if he was offered the job.. Well done George and Eric and all Beatles concerned, this is a classic!!!
I feel that the classic rock era wasn’t just great music. It simply had a huge number of super artists.
So true mate...so, SO TRUE!
The Beatles are one of the two arguably most important rock bands in music history (the other being The Beach Boys), not necessarily for their popularity but for their contributions to composition and production and musical styles. John Lennon is the rhythm guitarist, who plays the song's primary melody. He also occasionally plays piano and, I think, bass. Paul McCartney is the bass guitar player, which is also part of the rhythm section, playing the deeper notes of the melody. He's also a pianist and occasional drummer on Beatles songs. George Harrison is the lead guitarist, who plays the flourishes and guitar solos. Ringo Starr is the drummer. Most of The Beatles songs were co-written by Lennon and McCartney, and they alternate on lead singing on most of the songs. But all, or most, of The Beatles albums feature songs written and sung by Harrison or Starr. This one was written and performed by George Harrison, for instance. Neither were considered great singers, so songs were usually written especially for their vocal range.
The importance of The Beatles comes in the sheer number of musical styles they employed, from boy band style pop songs, to psychedelic rock, progressive rock, and even heavy metal (Helter Skelter is widely considered the first heavy metal song, but has also been described as Punk or even Grunge). They also employed innovative production techniques for mixing tracks, and utilized non-traditional (often Indian) instrumentation and even non-musical sound effects. In America The Beach Boys were sort of a mirror for The Beatles, also employing complex compositions and arrangements and production, and they're associated with a wide range of genres as well, from pop rock dance music to progressive rock. Between The Beatles and The Beach Boys they pretty much invented every major genre of rock and roll music that later evolved throughout the 1970s and 1980s.
Definitely a worthy deep dive to get into both of these bands, a super deep rabbit hole. And yeah, there really isn't a "sound" you can associate broadly with either of them, since their musical styles varied so widely. No two songs sound alike, just like you said.
Why are the Beach boys one of the best groups historically, I only know one song by them which was mediocre
@@robanks3895 True.
The Beach Boys ?
George was a SUPERB GUITARIST. AND COMPOSER.
AND A HELL OF A GOOD GUY.
You need to know, each member wrote songs and they sang the lead on their own songs. While my guitar weeps was all George at his best.RIP George and John.
Ahhh, The Beatles had a special knack of making the simplest of songs sound sooooo nice! Your body language says it all. That's George Harrison on lead vocals. He wrote some of their best songs, like "Here Comes the Sun" and "I Need You". Great reaction! P.S. The next Beatles song you experience will become your new FAVORITE Beatles song LOL.☮☮☮
I watched on tv as the Beatles made their first appearance in America on the Ed Sullivan show. I was hooked on them from that point on. I have lived with all of the great music that was made from that point on. I got to experience how those songs were relative to the era when they came out. You are lucky, in a way, as you can just reach into the files and pull up one of those songs. It was a great time to have grown up in and I really appreciate your deep understanding of those songs in their timeframe.
The amount is amazing music the Beatles put out, in such a short amount of time, will never be beaten.
Absolutely my favorite Beatles song. Eric Clapton played guitar on this.
During era of Beatles 1967-69 George made 1/3 of their best songs. His legacy has grown big during the last 20 years.
George really did a great job catching the emotion of the song with his guitar. Side note: Eric Clapton (best friend) fell in love with George’s wife and wrote the song Layla about her.
That's Eric Clapton on the lead.
The name Layla (not Pattie, who was married to George) comes from an Arabic love poem.
Eric was best man at George and Patty’s wedding. Then later after George and Patti split. George was the best man at Eric and Patty’s wedding.
Layla is so great . i must have listened to it ten thousand times. i love ths solo in it i hope J and Amber listen to it .
and it's 'Lucy' Eric is playing in the song. He later gave George the guitar called 'Lucy' as an gesture after sleeping with his wife. John Sebastian bought it new in '63 I guess, later sold it to Rick Derringer who painted it Red, the decided he didn't like the color and sold it. Eric bought it then later gave it to George. George loved that guitar.
I grew up with The Beatles playing in my house I'm glad to see a younger generation appreciating it.
This song speaks to me. It allows that despite all the beauty you see around you can still feel the blues.
Hi Jay, now this is MUCH MUCH better. This is a George Harrison written & sung song. And this is easily in the top 5 Beatles songs of ALL TIME!! The Beatles magic is on full display here!!
I gotta say thank you. Great reaction. You're getting it. Multiple songs that make you want more. I love it.
A beautiful song written and sung by George Harrison (bottom left on photo). The Beatles were a BIG part of the soundtrack of my youth.
I lived through all of this from an early age. The Beatles' first appearance on The Ed Sullivan Show that introduced them to the US mainstream was just before my tenth birthday. They have been the soundtrack to my entire life. I am just thrilled to see you feel the same things I felt back then. You guys get it. I can't think of anything better.
Clapton fits this song perfectly. I don’t know another guitarist that could have played this solo better(aside from Prince).
Neither could George. He felt only one person could do it perfectly - his friend Eric Clapton. And I’m sure George was looking down and smiling when Prince took it to another level.
I just went back to Prince's solo and gave it a good listen. I have heard it several times before and thought I should listen to it more carefully this time to see if I still fest the same way about it. It didn't change my mind, his guitar solo just doesn't impress me that much. The technical skills he used any good 2nd or 3rd year guitarist could do. It was his many ears of experience and knowledge of the fret board that allowed for a somewhat impressive solo.
@@dinodasbunce6224 Eh, I wouldn't say that. I do enjoy Clapton's solo more, but I am biased because he is my favorite guitarist. Prince's solo was definitely smooth and technically impressive.
Happy Birthday Prince, June 7th. RIP.
Cough cough...... David gilmour.......
Listen to this song (live) on the George Harrison memorial concert (after his death). Eric Clapton pays tribute along with George's son Dhani. Such a powerful moment!
I have the tape, really good concert
And Paul leading them all on something 😢❤😢❤❤❤❤
The Beatles were often so magical. In the 60s the world awaited there newest spells.
George has credited Clapton as playing lead on this recording. He said they were in a rut and needed some fresh sounds to inspire them.
"A Day In The Life" is one of the greatest Beatles songs. A very early hit, "She Loves You" is very different but iconic of that era of the band.
YES!!!!!! Love all the changes in that song.
You've definitely got to check out Eleanor Rigby from them, it's one of the most hauntingly beautiful songs they ever wrote.
Eleanor Rigby is my very favorite song by the Beatles. It's a little rare because most people would not choose Eleanor Rigby as their favorite Beatles track like I
@@choice12ozborne It's my favorite too. Even when I did not understand english and did not know what the lyrics were about, the music was incredible to my ears.
It's also the only song on which none of The Beatles played any instruments.
It's definitely in my top 5 Beatles songs.
Tony, haunting hits the nail right on the head. The songs probably only 60 years or so old but hangs in there with the best of them as do the Beatles!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The Beatles, (nor ANY human band) could have EVER have created the extremely DEEP and soul touching sounds and music they did without the Lord's Blessing of Freedom of that time. Thank you Lord for giving them, and the young people of that period, the Freedom you did...
One of my favorite Beatle songs. Things We Said Today, early Beatles, one of their very best.
I really prefer George Harrison’s voice over John and Paul’s. His voice just touches your soul in a way that I only feel from him.
George was always my favourite Beatle!
Agree George was great
It's the accent I think
STOP IT
I've always liked John Lennon's voice the best. Not that I dislike the voice of George. I was not around in those days.
I think there was a induction into the Music Hall of Fame of several candidates and they played this song. Prince was one of the inductees, if I'm not mistaken, and played one of the best guitar solo's ever...plus a little extra levitation at the end...lol! It's a Definite must see!
Unending great Beatles tunes: Here Comes The Sun, Get Back, Lady Madonna, Yesterday, Birthday, on and on. They could do any music and do it well. Literally hundreds of songs you can check out.
As I continue my journey with your channel guys I like it more and more, also the first song from The Beatles I see here is a favorite of mine and it happens to be practically the first one you both heard and loved from them as well. This song is epic, the lyrics, the sweet voice, the guitar weeping. By now I see you have done many Beatles reactions, and I'm sure you have been delighted with every single song along the way.
The intricacies of their music will never be equaled; they’re on a level most can’t even imagine.
So simple yet so utterly divine…
Try: Joe Cocker - 'With a little help from my friends' (woodstock 1969). It's a Beatles cover, but he makes the song his own.
Yes he does. ❤
Personally I think his performance on the "Mad Dogs and Englishmen" tour was better.
THis is the best version visually and sheer joy
th-cam.com/video/oL1JyDTq3Qc/w-d-xo.html
i'm not really into cover versions, no matter how well done or spectacular or in other peoples opinion 'better' the cover is, i always feel a cover loses a little bit of soul.
Joe Cockers version of WALHFMF is, however, IMO, the greatest cover version of all time.
Paul told him that the song was his now.
There was a tremendous amount of turmoil in the world at the time... Vietnam..assassinations... protests...etc....so yes Rob you are correct. His guitar is weeping in tandem with a broken world...
This is so old that electric guitars were a new technology, and recording to magnetic tape was in its infancy. Most guitar FX hadn't been invented yet. Yet they produced an incredibly sophisticated and layered sound.
I grew up with this music and still play it. I thank you guys for featuring so many British bands and artists. One element missing from your experience is nostalgia. When I listen to the music you feature and discuss I am transported back to a place long ago and a different world from which we live in today. Peace and love to you. ✌
Another stellar George Harrison composition (along with this song, “Something”, and many others is the song “Beware Of Darkness” from his first solo album “All Things Must Pass”If I’m not mistaken, “All Things Must Pass” is also the very first triple album ever recorded for commercial sale.
♥ this song! I suggest the following Beatles songs: Norwegian Wood, Yesterday, In My Life, Revolution #1, Let It Be, Get Back, Eleanor Rigby, Something, Here Comes The Sun, Help, Nowhere Man, I'm A Loser, Across The Universe, Strawberry Fields Forever & Helter Skelter
Best feedback. Best suggestions of songs!
Agreed with all. Norwegian Wood is so underrated and beautiful. Tomorrow Never Knows is oddly one of my favorites, which is weird and no one ever agrees.
Get Back
@@amouseaderful thanks!
George Harrison, known as the quiet Beatle, has always been my favorite. Love your channel!
Mine too!
Try some solo George Harrison (this is one of George's songs). "Give Me Love (Give Me Peace on Earth)," "My Sweet Lord," "All Things Must Pass." Many to choose from.
Dark Horse is great, too!
One of my absolutely fav Beatles and Harrison songs. Timeless masterpiece with one of the best guitar solos Eric Clapton ever played - and that means a lot! With bringing his friend Eric into the studio saved the band from breaking up even earlier than they did.
Older music sometimes had so much more feeling than current music. The artists put the heart and soul into their music.
The great Eric Clapton adds his confident guitar to this Beatles classic, written by George Harrison, who was his friend. This one of the few of his songs by George that helped define the Beatles late period studio prowess. Another composition by George does it again with measured elegance of his song called, 'Something'. Look into each others eyes when listening to this.
‘Clapton is god’
literally the best band ever to exist. (and by far the biggest selling)
anybody who disagrees just hasn't listened to them enough
I was a teen during the 60's...and the music was AMAZING! Beatles forever!
Me too.
When George first presented this the rest of the guys realised it was special. George was even allowed to bring in an extra lead guitarist, Eric Clapton, to get the sound that he wanted. The bass line is duplexed, probably John on the 6 string bass playing with Paul on the 4 string. I think this was the first use of 8 track recording as well.
I think amber is a Beatles fan now. I love her reactions to these Beatles tunes.
I have to say that the best version of this was played at the 'Concert For George' 2001. Eric Clapton and Paul McCartney together was sensational but Eric played out of his skin, you could feel his love for George.
Yeah, everyone talks about the Prince solo version, but this tribute was much more tasteful in my opinion while still being masterful in it's own way. Not to mention so touching when thinking about all the musicians on that stage just absolutely jamming to celebrate George's memory. When his son Dhani came over and thanked Clapton at the end it just made me finally break down in tears.
Completely agree with you.
I was there! Amazing night.
