Now listen to it again, with headphones this time, and focus on this flawless bass player.
Yes the bass work is excellent.
Toni plays great understated yet imaginative bass lines
Lou Davidson She is playing the bassline from the original one
@@AlcaparraLetal flawlessly.
And the bass line is not one of the easiest I guess.
No body can resist that smirk... when they sing "she done me, she done me good" :)
What does "she done me" stand for?
@@fedechiossone9932 A very British euphemism for she f#cked him. John Lennon wasn't always subtle :-)
They had been naughty British schoolboys only a few years before :) See also "four of fish and finger pie"
@@fedechiossone9932 WELL WHEN HE LEFT CYNTHIA, I UNDERSTOOD THAT YOKO DID SOMETHING SPECIAL TO JOHN IN BED.
Phil Spicer 😂😂
Seeing someone play it made me realize the Bass is CRUCIAL for most of this song, it really makes it.
Yeah ofc, bass control lower frequency of song.
@@bimshake I think the OP's point may have slid by you -- the bass is (almost) always key to filling the lower frequencies, but in this song, the bass guitar is effectively a lead instrument, driving the groove.
RaZe Gorky Paul McCartney’s bass lines were above all musical and melodic. Check them all... a great bass player... and of course sang too.
@@bimshake But my comment was discussing the Bass in this song specifically! If you want to discuss bass in general you should go find a place where that discussion will fit in!
@@johnnyfrisco5354 You do NOT gotta tell me that man! I know how fucking absolutely amazing Paul McCartney is, and how beautiful his bass lines are, but this is a whole new level of essential to the song! Come Together levels of the Bass being essential!
Toni quietly sitting in the background just slayin’ the bass line! Aren’t enough Oooooohs in Coool to describe Toni.
Seriously. She made that song. I keep listening to it in awe.
Smokin 🔥.
no lie, i went to comment about the bass guitarist killin it, glad im not the only one who thinks so!!!
Very smooth bass & perfect blend - just right. At first (not noticing the credits), I thought it was Marnie Stern. Great group of talent!
"Carson McKee and his many singing faces" That made me smile. Make all the faces you want: superb voice, uber talented guy.
It worked for Joe Cocker.
@@bguen1234 Totally
@@bguen1234 Totally
Reminds me of the faces that the singer in "The Commitments"movie makes.
Agree!
The bassist, yes, she is great, but the first guitar here, is also fantastic. All of them are. Thank you kids.
I've just realized Josh is playing Billy Preston's piano part. That's amaizing.
Wow
And George's part
@@neilkanatt4557 Indeed. super professional
Josh Turner is very underrated as a musician. I hope he blows up here soon.
@Insignificant Speck Of Dust I met Josh Turner a couple of years ago. Hanging round after a gig chatting to the audience. He was delightful, generous and as far from conceited as it is possible to be. And it was an amazing gig.
I grew up with the Beatles and loved their music. It is so great to see today's young people liking their music too and giving such a great performance.
This crew produces the most tasteful of arrangements.
Alsatiagent agreed
I usually agree, not this time tho’. The Beatles’ version has a hint of desperation, a cry if you will, this arrangement is somehow “just another song”.
1777DK well said
It lacks the cry, the desperation, yet, tasteful
really talented at arranging covers
Far out ... it's truly impressive when a "cover" can take a 67 y.o. back to her 14 year old self listening to the Beatles on her tiny tinny pink record player up in her lower working class 'I gotta get out of this place' bedroom in inner North Sydney (Australia) with real tears. Magic. It's very very hard to do a cover that satisfies the original longing of a teenage heart. And you achieve it every single time! P.S. The bedroom had no power point (it was an 1880's terrace way before 'gentrification') and so a long extension lead snaked its way up 14 late Victorian stairs to my bedroom.
I lived in a very old place in Kurraba Rd Neutral Bay, which still stands. I'm sure the powerpoints were a fairly recent installation.
@@Rollers123a I know that area quite well. I learned to drive around those streets!
A wonderful remembrance, Carolyn. I'm a couple decades behind you and slightly jealous of the wonder you must have experienced at hearing this back then.
I've recently concluded that mostly who we are as individuals is the sum of our memories and experiences. And for all its (many) faults, the Internet is maybe a good vehicle to preserve and share our memories a while longer, perhaps granting our lives a longer reach than what we were originally granted.
In short, thanks for sharing your memories. It was cool to read of them.
IDK. It's nice, this cover. And I really appreciate all these kids who are in tune with old music as well, and I could never do it myself. You feel the 'but' coming? But for this tune I truly have the feeling that one needs to have lived a little different life, or have had some kind of background to cover this one. Lennon had gone through so much already before this one. Please check out the Dillard & Clark version when it comes to this one. th-cam.com/video/oOdxNy6m-A4/w-d-xo.html
Cheers.
Ok boomer
Alright, with the indisputable creativity and virtuosity of these folks, along with Josh's incomparable production techniques, I think they could blow everyone socks off with a Bohemian Rhapsody cover!! Who's with me? The world needs more of Josh, Carson, Reina Del Cid, and Toni!
Carson's vocals were terrific.
The Bass line and acoustic lead were fantastic
This is what I imagine jamming with friends is going to be like
Yup
If you and your friends are incredibly talented
LordWilmore incredibly talented...they are 😊
She is really very talented
Michelangelo y? U planning to?😏
Josh is like a professor, never shows emotions. Carson is living the moment. Best duo.
It just makes me happy to see and hear such talented musicians and singers of your generation keeping these wonderful songs of the late Sixties alive.
"Well, I'm not going to play it any better than that."
It doesn't need to be any better than that. That was perfect!
The sweet spot of acoustic music. Pure. Simple. Refined. Focused. Simply incredible and most enjoyable. Thanks for a wide smile at the end of a hard day.
Dogband Or a hard day’s night. 😉
Acoustic? *Sweats in bass*
There's a lot of talent in this video, but Carson's voice is still a standout - a beautiful warm golden honey.
The beautiful St. Anne's Cathedral in the background in my home City Belfast , and in the foreground four amazingly talented young Americans on tour . Listen to the harmonies , the bass and acoustic guitars , just wonderful ..singing a great Beatles song . But they also have something that is sadly missing in today's empty and sometimes meaningless music ......they have soul ! Rave on you guys . Check out their amazing Harvest Moon cover too.
In the early 1970s I grew up listing to the Beatles (my dad played Beatles records over and over; I think we had all of the Beatles records). The Beatles sounded great to me then even though we only had a so-so turntable. Listening to Carson McKee and co. belt out this tune brings me back to the 1970s and it is awesome!!!! This version that Carson has posted sounds to me just as good as the Beatles version! Thanks Carson, the performance you posted is so incredibly impressive!!!!
Nice to see it posted on your channel Carson
Indeed.
Why did all this time they posted covers on josh's channel??
I love Carson's faces when he sings. So many people look bland when they sing and that isn't the case with any of these musicians. Thanks again for another lovely piece.
He looks like he's taking a very painful shit
Carson is like that really dorky kid in school who turned out to be cooler than everybody else.
Was thinking the same thing
School sucks
You can add Josh to that list. He reminds me of the kid who sat behind me in class. Never said a word in class. Aced every test. Graduated top of the class. He then became this musical genius. Oh hell, I wouldn’t know that he could play an instrument unless I went to a musical recital which I never did.🤓
Love them both. I once had an opportunity to chat with Carson. He is a modest polite young man. I told him that the musical essay they turned in English class was proof of their coming genius. He was quite taken back by that. I don’t think these guys understand how brilliant they are. They bring a freshness to their covers. Their covers are often better than the originals. Their originals are amazing. I wish the best for them both.
Nah, Carson seems like the theater kid that everyone was friends with
This whole group gives me that vibe
I don't know why, but the bass player had me mesmerized. The whole performance was just fantastic.
Toni is an absolutely incredible musician, she can do anything
Make no mistake, the bass player made this song - she was great. McCartney's melodic bass runs were all the difference on these straightforward tunes.
IMHO three things made the Beatles outstanding, their tight harmonies (check), McCartney's innovative bass work (check), and Ringo's unique drum style, (2 out of three ain't bad).
Thank you, sir, for getting IT.
Didn't know Kirsten Dunst could play bass so well
Toni Lindgren is amazing.
@@sailorbychoice1 The McCartney cult are out in full force. This is a John Lennon song (primarily) but the Macca obsessives will have none of it. The Beatles quaternary: Paul the McCartney, Paul the Lennon, Paul the Harrison and Paul the Holy Ringo, amen.
such a great cover.
Bass sounds real nice and smooth aswell
Roele Buijk the young lady on the bass is good.
Toni never disappoints...
Roele Buijk
I wish she played Paul's actual part tho. It's such a beautiful baseline, but disappointingly is not played here... The rest is perfect.
Please
It's tough to cover the Beatles without sounding like trash, but this is great.
what?
That girl has such a feel for the bass, I'd love to ask her what she thinks of McCartneys bass composition on this. I have long loved Paul's bass playing. It's understated, incredibly melodic and brought so much to The Beatles music in those 7 faithful years. His genius shines through in his bass playing as much as it does in his songwriting. Well done guys...
"Well I'm not gonna play any better than that"
Brilliant!
Lol hahaha
“Well I’m not gonna play it any better than that” 😂😂😂
...Spectacular. All of these young musicians are super-talented.
That bass really is fantastic.......so understated, yet the song would be nothing without it.
Whenever I see all of you playing outside, I wonder how many people are watching you. Great cover, thank you.
Her four musicians fit so well together and have been so wonderful and very professional. Thank you for the great music and greetings from Germany.
Just amazing - I wish I had the words to explain what these Beatles songs mean to me after more than 50 years. And these versions are fantastic at keeping it alive.
I agree totally. I was so into the Beatles, way back when, and these talented young artists are bringing it all back to me and I love it, love it, love it.
Great job!!!!
I think we all know what Carson was thinking when he had that little smile on his face as he sang "Woo she really done me. She really done me good." Great job by all! You all never "let me down" with your many performances. And yes there are not a lot of people that can take an original song like this and do such a fantastic job that it will hold my attention through the whole song. Thanks!
Something special happens when you four get together. It feels like there is more joy and less stress in the world. Thank you.
Carson's singing face would be awesome to see on stage with Billy Strings' guitar face. The perfect combination.
There is nothing I love more than a beautiful, heartfelt Beatles cover. You guys nailed it. Thank you! I'm so happy right now.
Toni killing it on the Bass! Vocals are brilliant.
Awesome bunch of friends with massive talent. Love listening to them together and apart. Thanks Carson for posting this.
No one can ever sing this like John and Paul, but this is still a good version.
Lead guitarist is pretty amazing
I think I’ve watched just about every video the 4 of you have made, together, separately and in every combo there-in, and I’m so blown away over what great musicians you are. Never know which instrument any of you might play on any given song but it’s always spot on. Keep having fun and posting your stuff. Thank you.
One word that always keeps coming to mind every time I hear these four. WOW!!! The sky is the limit for this group if they stay with it. Such God given talent is truly amazing to watch.
Way way more than talent here. There are collective HOURS AND HOURS of practice. Practice is where it's really at. All the natural talent in the world will get you nowhere. You must practice. And practice.
Stumbled on these guys...nice to hear good classics from young people... timeless
that falsetto is incredible. flawless.
With Reina’s recent surge on social media I couldn’t help but wonder where I knew her from and then I remembered these videos. Such a great performance.
I love you all as solo artists and duos as well. That said, the four of you together equal way more than the sum of your parts. There is some kind of magic that happens when the four of you work together. It's something very special.
Josh, Carson, Reina and Toni, well done.
I’m 71 years old… Trust me when I say this cover is better than the Beatles original!!! ❤❤❤❤
It isn't, but it's damn bloody brilliant.
Watch the video of The Beatles performing the song on the Apple rooftop. There's a reason it has 475 million views.
Im in love with the bass player. Just beautiful
Awesome Carson, loving the good old Beatle covers.
Man including that bass really makes the difference on this one. Great job to all. Nice to see some young people appreciating a 50 year old song by the great Beatles.
I just discovered this wonderfully talented group of musicians and have been exploring their assorted videos. Wow!
I've seen the bass player play some sparkling guitar in other videos, but her bass playing on this song is masterful and seemingly effortless. This well done and sincere cover would almost be pointless without her. Great job guys.
Carson McKee and his many singing faces are the reasons why i'm subscrived
I am blown away by Toni's bass. Josh is now joined by Toni for my favorite new bass players. This was a really well done video, all of you are so talented.
So inspiring. Thank you so much. That spirit will live on forever.
Born and bred in Belfast, the location is St Anne square, in the back round is St Anne cathedral. Great back drop and amazing version
Such a lovely warm tone on a splendid Belfast day. Beautiful! Josh, Carson, Reina and Toni - our Fab Four!
I love how you guys swap instruments, you are all so talented, such a joy.
always one of my favourite beatles tunes. and your cover really leaves me speechless and with tears in my eyes
Perfection! The whole performance is just brilliant.
this is pure gold, thank you
What’s really amazing is that I always manage to find gems like this. You guys are wonderful.
I couldn't stop a tear of joy. This is fantastic
Keep coming back to this . The harmonies and musicianship are excellent. Great cover of a belter of a song.
One of my favorites by one of my favorites!
One of my favourite Fabs tracks ever. Brilliant guys - love it.
You people give me hope about this world. Thank you so much for loving the music in your own way. Nice bass playing too! Great harmonies.
Great version. You four very talented people give us so much joy. Thankyou!!!
Toni is smooth on that bass line. Comforting sound
Toni's bass cover is the best I have ever heard...said the life long bass player.
All Toni needed was a Hoffman bass and she'd have Maccas parts nailed awesome job👍
Trucker Kev The Paid Tourist couldn’t hear it, could you?
@@truckerkevthepaidtourist Höfner!
head voice harmonies were soooo clean
Absolutely amazing
Such sweet sensations! Smooth as silk. Soft as a spring rain. Soothing as a warm campfire.
The new Fab Four. :) Glad to see your channel taking off.
The best song ever written. Beautiful arrangments, you are a hell of a talented crew. thank you for this moment :)
Hairs on my old (82) head stood straight up on this rendition...what great young talent! Thanks for your well earned virtuosity.
So much talent, all four of you!
dude on lead guitar is killingggg it while delivering a superb vocal
If you're not familiar with Josh Turner, do yourself a favor and look up "Josh Turner Guitar" on TH-cam. He's brilliant, as are Carson, Reina, and Toni.
My absolute favorite Beatles song. Sounded great.
Reina has one of the most beautiful voices I have heard in YEARS! And I love watching her facial expressions when she sings. You can see the heart and energy she put into every vocal. Watching her and Carson sing together is amazing. At first, it appears humorous, but after a few videos of them, you realize it is typically not intended for humor and shows the amount of emotion and effort put into their vocals.
Wow! Perfection! The arrangement, performance, mix! And that bass playing! Thank you so much!
The four of you are just brilliant!
That was a great cover of a classic. You all harmonize very well together. Great job guys.
Great job,....could listen to these guys all day.
One of my favorite songs of all time. You guys did it justice. Thanks!
Toni stands out on that bass playing. Perfection! Can't get enuff Toni! Reina, Josh and Carson . . . perfect!
Good god... hard to express just how good this is.
It's so good. The music, the scenery, everything. Thank you.
Stunning!! Great job!
Breathless I say: Highest quality, girls and boys! Vocals at it's best.
You guys are so fun! Love your covers, they are top notch.
Love when these groups get together and jam! And Toni never ceases to amaze me. I've seen her play slide, guitar, bass....I think she does it all.
drums, harmonica, upright bass....
Man, you guys are so focused and spot on with every performance. Bravo!
Awesome take on this one. Carson, you can really make it real. Love your emotion and effort. As always, Josh takes the details to the next level and makes the song complete. If only I could play like you. Thanks for posting this. It inspired me to break out my Taylor and play along.
Josh is so good at pointing out what makes the genius of songs. His playing shows how G.Harrison could make of a good song an extraordinary one ! Jolly good ! You are great !
Love these guys together. They make such beautiful music together.
Oh my god that bass player can play. Listening on my headphones!
