A few things from some of the things I've seen: 1. We had no clue The Beatles had nothing to do with this video. I feel like people are assuming I knew that when I selected this to react to, and that's not true at all. 2. I am planning on revisiting this song in the future, as the video we were reacting to, while from the official Beatles TH-cam channel, was missing some of the music (according to the comments I have read). It will be audio only and I'll go further into the song as it seems like quite a bit was missed. 3. I love receiving constructive criticism. It helps me grow as a person and content creator. But if you are going to be rude about this reaction or towards any guest I bring on, you will be blocked from this channel (I am surprised I have to even say anything about this. We're just trying to learn about music and getting hateful comments is definitely not helpful). 4. This is supposed to be a fun way to learn about music, but if people don't stop gatekeeping music, I will no longer react to that band. I can handle a comment here and there, but being toxic about the music you love doesn't make this fun. 5. This video kept getting blocked so it had to keep being delayed. The reaction format for the channel has changed since this was originally recorded (That's why there's Christmas decorations in the background. This was recorded at the beginning of December. A lot has happened since then, including how we go about reacting to things)
At the first break you said, "When Paul started singing..." John sang the opening and closing with Paul the middle section. They tend to wrote what they sing. I believe that includes this song. Lennon wrote the opening and Paul the middle. The Beatles and stones had a friendly rivalry. In late 1968tge never aired The Rolling Stones Rock and Roll Circus was recorded including a one off supergroup called The Dirty Mac playing The Beatles song Yer Blues. The video is on here. The Dirty Mac were John Lennon on vocals and rhythm guitar, Eric Clapton on lead guitar, Mitchell Mitchell (of Jimi Hendrix) on drums, and Rolling Stones guitarist Keith Richards on bass. Eric Clapton had just left Cream and was about to release an album with supergroup blind Faith.
@AceofBadeReacts I forgot to mention, on the cover of Sgt. Pepper's, the album this song is from, is a child sized doll wearing a sweater that says, "Welcome the Rolling Stones." The doll and sweater belonged to the child of the album cover photographer. The kid got the sweater from Mick Jagger, who received it from a US fan.
Yeah admitedly we focused more on the chaotic video over the music itself, but this was back in mid December. I was doing things slightly different back then compared to now. I may have to re-evaluate this song in the future based on the feedback I received
Admittedly back in December I reviewed slightly differently, so I didn't analyze the song itself like I should have and like I have been doing lately. I might have to go back and re-evaluate the song to give an opinion on the lyrics itself
The video was recorded the night they recorded the orchestra build-up. Many of the musicians were confused as to what to play because nothing was written out (they were instructed to play anything from the lowest note the instrument could play to the highest). The puppet from Mr. Rogers with the nose was Lady Elaine.
A whole lot of things were involved in the general shift in consciousness that occurred during the 1960s - the era of the Beatles as a recording unit - not just drugs. It was a time of great experimentation, including in all of the arts, in social/ cultural norms and expectations, and in specifically consciousness altering activities like meditation practice and taking certain drugs that could give such an effect. So, although some songs do specifically reference drugs, that's rarely the only influence, and quite often specific drug references are not in the songs you think they're in, and are in songs you never realised they were in. Two examples from the Beatles: Paul McCartney's Got to Get You into My Life WAS about marijuana (everyone assumes it's a love song), and John Lennon's Lucy In the Sky with Diamonds (everyone assumes it's about acid, a.k.a. the psychedelic drug LSD because the initials are the same, whereas in fact Lennon's primary inspirations for the song were Lewis Carroll's 'Alice' novels - two surrealist/ fantasy children's books of the Victorian era, and a drawing his young son Julian brought home from nursery school, of his friend Lucy, flying in the sky among the stars. When asked what his picture was about, Julian replied that it was 'Lucy in the sky with diamonds'... If you want a quick way to gen up on who and what the Beatles were and their place in history, I'd suggest, and can recommend, a couple of documentaries which would make a good introduction. Otherwise I think you're going to continue to flounder, without any context. A Brief History of the Beatles - Short enough to make it a reaction video, if you wanted to, and How the Beatles Changed the World - A bit longer at nearly 2 hours but well worthwhile, it gives more of an idea of their cultural impact. (Beware shorter, less well researched documentaries going under the same name.) Best wishes for your Beatles journey, should you choose to take it... Love & Peace
Yeah admittedly growing up while I did listen to the music my parents listened to like The Beatles, I know very little. I thought the same thing about the 2 songs you mentioned. I might have to check out the history video, if you have a link to it
@@AceofBadeReacts It IS distracting. Try listening to the song without it, the way we all did, when it first came out. Videos (or 'promotional films) were just an occasional optional extras back then, the music is by far the most important thing. Also, many Beatles videos you'll find are quite recent additions, inspired by the music but not integral to it.
@@papercup2517 In my defense I had no idea about any of that. I just assumed they put videos together a long time ago since they're on the official TH-cam channel. Apparently there's a part of the song that doesn't appear on the video so I will revisit the song in the future
@@AceofBadeReacts Then, I recommend asking someone knowledgeable or doing a poll as to which version of a song or video you should watch. If you want to do the Beatles right, then start at the beginning. They changed music and changed the world.
Actually this is made up of 2 songs. Both Paul and John had songs that were not finished so they combined the two. Or something like that. You can look it up, the story behind the song.
@@billtmarchi4320 That's pretty cool tbh. It's looking like I'll revisit the song in the future, as part of the song wasn't put in the video we reacted to
As others have said, you should have listened to the song and not watched the video. The video is really just a bunch of floor sweepings that someone stuck together -- it tells no story and has no point. On the other hand, the song is a challenging one by the Beatles. The Beatles had many catchy songs that we all got on the first playing, and they also had challenging songs that we had to play over and over to better understand. "A Day in the Life" is one of those. When you listen to the Beatles, remember that they were the biggest entertainment act in the world at the time. When the Beatles released the Sgt. Pepper album, it was played by literally the entire western world, more-or-less simultaneously -- and "A Day in the Life" was the final track. Nobody had ever heard anything like it. No top pop/rock group had ever released a song that married an orchestra with chaos, that had vaguely menacing sections intercut with happy and upbeat sections, then punctuated with shrieking orchestra crescendos. No one had ever done that before. No one. And especially not a top entertainment act. All the other top acts tried to ride the coattails of their last hit, playing it safe and looking for a path to the next easy chart-topper. Not the Beatles. They broke that mold, and that is why we are still talking about the Beatles today.
Yeah there's a lot I don't know about The Beatles that I have been learning from the comments, which is typically how I have been learning with all the reactions. Before I tackle The Beatles again, someone suggested a documentary to check out
This is one of my favorite songs, and Ringo’s drumming is fantastic. Not wild or flashy, just exactly what the song needs. The bit after ‘He blew his mind out in a car’ is one of my favorite 3 seconds of drumming ever.
With Beatles break through 1962-63 they changed the impact popular music had on young people in general. I was about 10 years old, and for all my class mates, music, pop, the Beatles, hair style, dress code etc became more and more important. When Sgt Pepper and especially this song was realeased, it changed the limits for what was possible to do with music over all. And during the following 5-6 years music had a huge "evolution". Although the contemporary influence from Frank Zappa and Jimi Hendrix was largely independent, the combined effect was immence. Check an interview with Chris Squire of Yes when he tells the story about when he met Hendrix + "Trouble every day" and "Who are the brain police" (audio!) from Zappas first album "Freak out" (1966). If you also add Arthur Brown's "Fire" (1968; video) you have, with "A day i the life", four important influences to the origin of later pop and rock, psycedelic, heavy metal, prog, rap, glam rock, etc.
The 60s were a pivotal time in America with so much happening from what I understand (I was born in '89). I have checked out some Jimi Hendrix and Frank Zappa already and I'll add those to the list as well. I have yet to react to any audio only songs from anybody. Every song thus far has had some sort of a visual. If there are any suggestions as to the best way to go about recording a reaction to those, I am up for some hints
This song went hard for that time period, but it is just as hard today. Its actually a masterpiece and ear and mind candy🤘❤️ most beatle fans know that last piano note goes on forever
this is the problem with music videos. they turn your attention away from the song! this isn't about the video. its about the song. and the song kicks serious butt. thanks for the video.
Try not to get involved with the video. Most people never saw any videos for the majority of Beatles output; all that distracts from the content, meaning and music of this song. Also, as far as the volume of the “chaotic” instrumental sections, when this first came out, most listeners were not using headphones, so the increase in volume was not as jarring, since it was in the entire room where people were listening to a vinyl album. The decision to use full orchestras with a rock band was innovative.
@@AceofBadeReactsvery chaotic. awesome man. The look on both of your faces are priceless. I'm glad you are getting a myriad of comments. There is a version out there with some backmasking, i wonder how you too would of reacted to that.
Videos like this were added to song tracks many years afterwards, and often not by anyone connected with The Beatles. The content is decided by whatever person or company made the video, so there can be many different versions circulating online and might include photos or footage from years after the song was released.
Oh my god, the sheer audaciousness of the Beatles. Nobody had *ever* heard anything like this before. They blew the music scene wide open with Sgt. Pepper. It's been said that the Beatles were both the most commercial band in the world AND the most experimental band in the world. That's why they are legends.
I hear Sgt. Pepper is a phenomenal album, but I have never sat down and listened to it. I think I need to check out the history of The Beatles before revisiting them
@@AceofBadeReacts That's a good idea. There are plenty of videos about their history, from short ones like this -- th-cam.com/video/UEmSjDuTxyc/w-d-xo.html -- to full-length documentaries. The best of those is the four-disc Beatles Anthology. And of course there are *many* excellent books about the band. If you're really serious about exploring their music, the best way to do that is to start from the beginning with their first British album, Please Please Me, and then work your way up from there. They made 13 studio albums in only seven years, from 1963 to 1969, and the extent of their artistic growth is astonishing.
@@michaelt6218 For sure. I'll check out the documentary. In terms of reacting to The Beatles, I was going to treat the reactions themselves like all the other songs I react to: Start with the songs on the request list and then go from there, so they will probably be out of order
@@AceofBadeReacts But, the other poster was correct though. It’s really best to listen to their music in chronological order in order to appreciate how quickly they developed over a relatively short period of time.
Video? Video?….what video???? This is about the MUSIC by the BEATLES….they never made a video to go with it…..I have lived with this since the day of its release….we had no internet, no phones, no videos…we only had the album cover and we listened to the F*****G music….’nuff said
Admittedly back in December I reviewed slightly differently, so I didn't analyze the song itself like I should have and like I have been doing lately. I might have to go back and re-evaluate the song to give an opinion on the lyrics itself
The Beatles gave the Rolling Stones a song to record called I Want To Be Your Man which became a hit for them. They were friends in real life, not rivals😮😊
Agree with other comments that the video is a major distraction. The music is a brilliant surrealistic experience. The abrupt mode swings coupled with the chaos is the point. Next time, I suggest putting the headphones on and closing your eyes.
The Stones (Mick in particular) and Beatles got interested in a lot of things at the time - Eastern spiritual traditions, meditation, experimenting with new ideas, new fashions, etc. They hung around together.
@@AceofBadeReacts and the Beatles (and others) - both reflected the massive social changes going on all over the world and also helped create or push some of those changes.
For sure! I was in 7th grade when President Kennedy was shot. The next few months were surreal. In February the Beatles landed in America and it gave us hope, and a sense that the future still held good things. All my friends and I were beginning to think about sex and relationships and love, and so The Beatles became the objects of our desires and fantasies. We grew up and changed with them, with the music which seemed to increase from everywhere, everyone daring to wear long hair, short skirts and wild colors. (Girls couldn’t wear pants to school till after I graduated high school.) We started to think about politics, and learned what young people were protesting for in Europe. Vietnam, and war or violence in general, became the central issue which everyone had to face. Civil rights of every kind became the call to action, and awareness of environmental crisis. People wanted change in almost aspect of life. Art pushed boundaries, and became international. There was plenty of fear, violence and people trying drugs but the overwhelming feeling was that the world had to change. @@AceofBadeReacts
@@AceofBadeReacts Yah all the Beatles songs from 1963-1966 were mainly "normal songs" then the LSD started kicking in by Revolver and then by Sgt Pepper and Mystery Tour they went full on strange mode.
@@Hester-l6k Yeah there are some chaotic songs for sure, but then there's songs like Let it Be and Hey Jude that are in their later years and sound pretty normal to me
@@AceofBadeReacts “Normal” is relative. Many of the Beatles songs that sound "normal" today, were often unusual at the time of release, or at least had an unusual, but very often very lasting effect. For example, the seemingly normal track "I feel fine" with a very nice riff, that Lennon quotes and varies from another song, begins with the first guitar feedback, intended as a real sound effect. Not much later, many other guitarists turned feedbacks into a style, in a not always attractive, but sometimes interesting and exciting art form. George Harrison's introduction of the sitar for the Modern Popular Culture, 1965, in the seemingly normal "Norwegian Wood" can easily be described as an introduction, to what is now known as world music. There are dozens of other Beatles songs with this kind of impact. "Hey Jude", with the four-minute chorus and McCartney singing in a soul shouter style, can be seen as a track, that creates the stadium rock/pop sound. You know, the stadium singing along to the chorus and waving lighters around, all that stuff. Also very unusual for 1968.
You guys are demonstrating for all of us how easily people who grew up in this tech generation can be manipulated. You truly have to question and consider what was available to the listener when this music was released. I am 100 percent sure this music played as a backdrop for something visually psychotic is frightening. The Beatles manipulated you with love...not fear!
Very misleading. John sparked it off with his opening verse but all the arrangement with the psychedelia, including "I'd love to turn you on" ("a lovely little lick Paul had floating around in his head") and Paul's middle with it's cheeky "had a smoke . . . and went into a dream" reference, the following dreamy "aaaah" section, and the orchestral cacophanies... all of that was created by the two of them together. As John said himself "I had the beginning bit and it urned Paul on, and he just went, bang bang, like that, and it all came together beautifully. It was a good piece of work between the two of us."
Forget the video. The song is the masterpiece here. Maybe you are not prepared yet. If you want to learn music you have to start with the early Beatles songs first and keep going. It s gonna take you a few years but it's worth it. Thanks
Yeah that's what I have come to understand. I'm starting to come to the conclusion there's probably quite a few Beatles songs that didn't have videos to accompany them that do now. I'll have to do a little research in the future
first time watching your reactiion.... have to say I can see something of interest...what you guys donbt get and maybe cant understand is the diferrence sonically... the Beatles were... they changed music sonically...
@@AceofBadeReactsbut the guy who blew his mind out in a car was real. He had been a friend of the Beatles who was killed in a car crash. Really this is a very dark song . The orchestra had all been asked to wear red noses and so on while they played. If I remember the video correctly I think it captures the overall mood pretty well. I mean it is frightening, right?
@@AceofBadeReacts Ok, here's some constructive criticism for you :- 1) Do some prior research. It would take 5 minutes to look a song up on Wikipedia 2) There doesn't have to be a video to react to a song. 3) Don't interrupt the song.
@@thereunionparty 1). if I do research, I'll know what's coming up and ruin the surprise 2). Noted. That is true. I just haven't done that yet. 3). I have to pause to discuss. There's no getting around that. That may turn some people away from the channel, but I will discuss. Plus this isn't a substitute for the actual song. If you want to listen to the song all the way through, don't watch reaction channels
This was 1967 - the world was never the same after SPLHCB and A Day in the Life. It is hard to convey how revolutionary this was at the time we have nothing remotely comparable in today's music - in fact music no longer holds our imagination to speak of possibilities and of change in the way it did. Maybe too many dumb voices obliterating the visionaries?
The normal expectation is to hear you react to the music, you seem to be reacting mainly to the video. The Beatles had nothiing to do with this video, which was made many decades later.
These are some of music videos the Beatles actually made (they were the first group to make 'music videos' as such bty). These were a vewry new art form back in the 60's th-cam.com/video/yYvkICbTZIQ/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/HtUH9z_Oey8/w-d-xo.html Concert footage: th-cam.com/video/-VzBzhiHzHg/w-d-xo.html This is a good live TV peformance: th-cam.com/video/A_MjCqQoLLA/w-d-xo.html@@AceofBadeReacts
@@DavidGigg Yeah i'm going to just have to be more observant in the future of what has a video accompaniment to the song or if it's just the song itself
if this was your first time hearing the actual song… you did a lot better than me, so i’ll give you credit. I first heard this song covered by the Bee Gees (and that dam movie too🙄) when i was a kid. So.. YES! ignore all the naysayers, you doing better than me😂
All the way through, yes. I remember hearing parts of this song, but I never listened to it all the way through. I'm still going to revisit the song later
The first time i EVER heard of “Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band” was through the Bee Gees (i was really into the Bee Gees, late 70s that time) and the movie they did with Peter Frampton i was like 9. it was only couple years after i found out it was a BEATLES album.. To this day i feel culturally lied to. What y’all did was a lot better. I wished i had discovered it the way y’all did than how i did. 👍👍❤️
Not to insult the creativity. We grew up listening to the music, not with the knowledge of the Beatles themselves. I'm here to react to music and learn. Someone suggested a couple of documentaries to check out and I will before revisiting this band. Apparently some of the song was cut from the video itself, so I'll re-react to the album version in the future as a comparison
Man you stopped in the middle of one of the most famous transitions in musical history. Go back. Some artists use sound instead of paint or sculpture. Just listen.
A lot of people have mentioned that. From someone who doesn't fully remember the song and hearing a pause in the song itself, it logically seemed to be the best place to pause to discuss
This song might be a little avant guard for a first foray into the Beatles catalogue. You might try something a little more approachable like Here Comes the Sun, Oh Darling or something from their earlier days like Help or Yesterday to get you started on this journey. As others have pointed out, the video has absolutely nothing to do with the song and was added many years later.
haha yeah it's looking like this song shouldn't have been reacted to yet. This is actually the 3rd Beatles song I've reacted to (there's a playlist at the end). I'll probably re-react to this song in the future as I heard there's more to it
@@AceofBadeReactsThere is a little bit more after that long final note. From 5min 10 seconds . You stopped at about 4-45. Most other reactors do the same. Possibly it's not on that video. It's on the CD and I think it was on the runout track on the original vinyl. So not really part of the track.
With all due respect, if you found the music chaotic, better forget the Beatles and music from the 60s/70s and listen to easier things. If you're going to talk about irrelevances, it's better not to say anything.
@@AceofBadeReacts ok, but don't make a new video with the girl, because she was visibly upset. Considering the facial expression of dissatisfaction that she didn't even hide, the opinion she might have had about the song is no longer important.
Unfortunately you chose the worst possible place to pause. Completely ruins the point of the build up. The juxtaposition between the chaos and the calmness is a pivotal point of the song that builds drama. Now you know I guess. It's about what happens to everyday people every day in their lives. Periods of chaos and calm.
Yeah that is very true. I always just try to pause at a point where there's a break in the performance/song. This was also at a point where I didn't back it up a little bit like I do now
Conservative doesn't necessarily mean political. It means safe, comfortable within accepted norms and uncomfortable once the norm deviates in any way. I know why you stopped the song, but you missed the point of the transition. Besides, discussing a song halfway through doesn't make sense. In fact, it doesn't make sense with any form of art object since the goal of the artist is to create a cohesive whole. Anyway, I'm just irritated by this new convention of splitting 3-5 minute songs for a discussion. On that score, arguably the greatest rock album ever made, Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon is best heard in one sitting. The whole album is around forty minutes. If you do this you will find the experience enlightening and rewarding. You're welcome.@@AceofBadeReacts
@@same2659 There's no way I could sit through 40ish minutes of an album without pausing to discuss. Also finding the time to sit down and listen to 40ish minutes at a time with a full time job is impossible. I have been reacting to the Pulse concert with Pink Floyd if you want to check those out
Hi, I wasn't suggesting Dark Side as a reaction video, but as an example of something that is a cohesive whole as well as being a valuable experience for the relatively small investment of time, particularly for someone like yourself hemmed by work considerations. In fact, Dark Side is ideal for someone like you. The point though is that to derive the maximum from the experience you need to simply listen for the 40 mins ( I think it's actually 38mins). My suggestion was not intended as an imposition, but more as a tip-off, a pointing towards something musically and existentially wonderful and how to best approach the experience to derive the maximum from this particular piece of 20th century art. Best of luck.@@AceofBadeReacts
@@same2659 oh that's fair. It's hard to figure out when people are suggesting reactions and when they're just suggesting I check something out. That is much more manageable to check out on my own
These idiots just dont get it. You are wrong about everything. The damn video has nothing to do with this ground breaking group doing a ground breaking song. A first. But kids dont get it and never will. You have to send them all to the university so they can major in Beatles 101.
You are listening to this with a modern day mind which means being fed with a junk food musical diet. . Back then minds were more open and less blinkered Your confused expressions say it all. Why did you watch a stupid video to go with it?
Kids today like yourselves, scared of there own shadow, the use of a word like terrified to describe music is laughable, in the 60s young'ans might have screamed and even fainted, but i don't remember many, in fact none, blaming everything on there mental health like they do in today's society, pathetic and sad really, need to man up, but that would be criticised for being sexist by wonkiest's 🤣🤣

Close your eyes and just absorb it
Exactly.
Its MEANT to be chaotic.
Why are you yakking on about the video?
Listen to the music man!

The important thing is listen, not watch, forget the video... music, music, music
Be sure to check that pinned comment
Ok, sorry. I'm an old one, I don't really understand this things dynamic 😬
@@TheClarita1984 Understandable.
Forget the video, listen to the song. This was released with out a video
Yeah well I didn't know that when we picked the song to react to
The video was recorded the night they recorded the orchestra build-up. Many of the musicians were confused as to what to play because nothing was written out (they were instructed to play anything from the lowest note the instrument could play to the highest). The puppet from Mr. Rogers with the nose was Lady Elaine.
Thank you for the information about the video itself.
A whole lot of things were involved in the general shift in consciousness that occurred during the 1960s - the era of the Beatles as a recording unit - not just drugs. It was a time of great experimentation, including in all of the arts, in social/ cultural norms and expectations, and in specifically consciousness altering activities like meditation practice and taking certain drugs that could give such an effect.
So, although some songs do specifically reference drugs, that's rarely the only influence, and quite often specific drug references are not in the songs you think they're in, and are in songs you never realised they were in.
Two examples from the Beatles: Paul McCartney's Got to Get You into My Life WAS about marijuana (everyone assumes it's a love song), and John Lennon's Lucy In the Sky with Diamonds (everyone assumes it's about acid, a.k.a. the psychedelic drug LSD because the initials are the same, whereas in fact Lennon's primary inspirations for the song were Lewis Carroll's 'Alice' novels - two surrealist/ fantasy children's books of the Victorian era, and a drawing his young son Julian brought home from nursery school, of his friend Lucy, flying in the sky among the stars. When asked what his picture was about, Julian replied that it was 'Lucy in the sky with diamonds'...
If you want a quick way to gen up on who and what the Beatles were and their place in history, I'd suggest, and can recommend, a couple of documentaries which would make a good introduction. Otherwise I think you're going to continue to flounder, without any context.
A Brief History of the Beatles - Short enough to make it a reaction video, if you wanted to, and
How the Beatles Changed the World - A bit longer at nearly 2 hours but well worthwhile, it gives more of an idea of their cultural impact. (Beware shorter, less well researched documentaries going under the same name.)
Best wishes for your Beatles journey, should you choose to take it... Love & Peace
Yeah admittedly growing up while I did listen to the music my parents listened to like The Beatles, I know very little. I thought the same thing about the 2 songs you mentioned. I might have to check out the history video, if you have a link to it
This song really filters out the music phonies. It really is the best Beatles song ever
It's a fantastic song. One I plan to revisit in the future
Wow talk about killing the energy in a song, that was perfect.
Not sure why you focused on the video rather than the music, but that's okay.
This video was a little more distracting than I am used to
@@AceofBadeReacts It IS distracting. Try listening to the song without it, the way we all did, when it first came out. Videos (or 'promotional films) were just an occasional optional extras back then, the music is by far the most important thing. Also, many Beatles videos you'll find are quite recent additions, inspired by the music but not integral to it.
@@papercup2517 In my defense I had no idea about any of that. I just assumed they put videos together a long time ago since they're on the official TH-cam channel. Apparently there's a part of the song that doesn't appear on the video so I will revisit the song in the future
@@AceofBadeReacts Then, I recommend asking someone knowledgeable or doing a poll as to which version of a song or video you should watch. If you want to do the Beatles right, then start at the beginning. They changed music and changed the world.
This was many years before ELO✌✌
Oh for sure. That's just the song it reminded me of
John Lennon sang the first and third section and Paul sang the second section👌👌👍👍✌✌😁😁
oh ok. I didn't even notice the voice change
Actually this is made up of 2 songs. Both Paul and John had songs that were not finished so they combined the two. Or something like that. You can look it up, the story behind the song.
@@billtmarchi4320 That's pretty cool tbh. It's looking like I'll revisit the song in the future, as part of the song wasn't put in the video we reacted to
@@AceofBadeReacts Wow.
At the very end of the song is the longest single note ever recorded.
Really? That's a really cool fact
If this is your first Beatles reaction it's a tough one to start with. Kind of an art piece.
It's not the first one, but it's the most interesting so far
Back then only squares didnt try weed and Psychedelics. Context is everything.
It must have been a time to experience
It changed the recording industry.... masterpiece.
the fragility of current generations is evident in this reaction.
I love how all the boomers are upset by this, but probably can't figure out how to unzip a file on the computer
@@AceofBadeReacts Um, yes we can
@@AceofBadeReacts Please note that the boomers invented the computer.
@@visarr and are still trying to figure out how to print from their phones
As others have said, you should have listened to the song and not watched the video. The video is really just a bunch of floor sweepings that someone stuck together -- it tells no story and has no point.
On the other hand, the song is a challenging one by the Beatles. The Beatles had many catchy songs that we all got on the first playing, and they also had challenging songs that we had to play over and over to better understand. "A Day in the Life" is one of those.
When you listen to the Beatles, remember that they were the biggest entertainment act in the world at the time. When the Beatles released the Sgt. Pepper album, it was played by literally the entire western world, more-or-less simultaneously -- and "A Day in the Life" was the final track. Nobody had ever heard anything like it. No top pop/rock group had ever released a song that married an orchestra with chaos, that had vaguely menacing sections intercut with happy and upbeat sections, then punctuated with shrieking orchestra crescendos. No one had ever done that before. No one. And especially not a top entertainment act. All the other top acts tried to ride the coattails of their last hit, playing it safe and looking for a path to the next easy chart-topper. Not the Beatles. They broke that mold, and that is why we are still talking about the Beatles today.
Yeah there's a lot I don't know about The Beatles that I have been learning from the comments, which is typically how I have been learning with all the reactions. Before I tackle The Beatles again, someone suggested a documentary to check out
This is one of my favorite songs, and Ringo’s drumming is fantastic. Not wild or flashy, just exactly what the song needs. The bit after ‘He blew his mind out in a car’ is one of my favorite 3 seconds of drumming ever.
It is a great song. Whoever put the video together on the other hand...
The Beatles gave the Rolling Stones their first hit song. They were good friends!!!👌👌👍👍✌✌😁😁
Oh Really? That's awesome. I always just assumed they were rival bands
That's not Paul singing the bulk of this song. It's John Lennon, Paul sings that part in the middle.
I think the effects on the vocals threw me off
With Beatles break through 1962-63 they changed the impact popular music had on young people in general. I was about 10 years old, and for all my class mates, music, pop, the Beatles, hair style, dress code etc became more and more important. When Sgt Pepper and especially this song was realeased, it changed the limits for what was possible to do with music over all. And during the following 5-6 years music had a huge "evolution". Although the contemporary influence from Frank Zappa and Jimi Hendrix was largely independent, the combined effect was immence. Check an interview with Chris Squire of Yes when he tells the story about when he met Hendrix + "Trouble every day" and "Who are the brain police" (audio!) from Zappas first album "Freak out" (1966). If you also add Arthur Brown's "Fire" (1968; video) you have, with "A day i the life", four important influences to the origin of later pop and rock, psycedelic, heavy metal, prog, rap, glam rock, etc.
The 60s were a pivotal time in America with so much happening from what I understand (I was born in '89). I have checked out some Jimi Hendrix and Frank Zappa already and I'll add those to the list as well. I have yet to react to any audio only songs from anybody. Every song thus far has had some sort of a visual. If there are any suggestions as to the best way to go about recording a reaction to those, I am up for some hints

Too chaotic for simple minds
And too good for people who go around wasting their time, insulting people on the internet
This song went hard for that time period, but it is just as hard today. Its actually a masterpiece and ear and mind candy🤘❤️ most beatle fans know that last piano note goes on forever
Yeah apparently this version was missing part of the song, so I'll re-react to it in the future
this is the problem with music videos. they turn your attention away from the song! this isn't about the video. its about the song. and the song kicks serious butt. thanks for the video.
It does. I pinned a comment about it actually
Try not to get involved with the video. Most people never saw any videos for the majority of Beatles output; all that distracts from the content, meaning and music of this song.
Also, as far as the volume of the “chaotic” instrumental sections, when this first came out, most listeners were not using headphones, so the increase in volume was not as jarring, since it was in the entire room where people were listening to a vinyl album.
The decision to use full orchestras with a rock band was innovative.
Yeah with headphones I can imagine it being more jarring than listening to it more open. I plan to re-react to this song in the future
ROFL! I watch these just to see the reaction to the crescendos. They never fail to disappoint lmfao.
It's definitely awesomely chaotic. This might be my most divisive reaction yet based on the comments
@@AceofBadeReactsvery chaotic. awesome man. The look on both of your faces are priceless. I'm glad you are getting a myriad of comments. There is a version out there with some backmasking, i wonder how you too would of reacted to that.
@@THEVIDEOARBITRATOR Well based on the comments about reacting to the audio I think I will be re-reacting to this song in the future
@@AceofBadeReacts good
Paul McCartney wrote the middle part of the song.
Videos like this were added to song tracks many years afterwards, and often not by anyone connected with The Beatles. The content is decided by whatever person or company made the video, so there can be many different versions circulating online and might include photos or footage from years after the song was released.
To me, that is highly disappointing. I wish they would stop doing that and just do a visualizer instead
Mick Jagger and Keith Richards of the Stones and Mike Nesmith of the Monkees and Marianne Faithfull.
Donovan also makes an appearance in the video.
Oh my god, the sheer audaciousness of the Beatles. Nobody had *ever* heard anything like this before. They blew the music scene wide open with Sgt. Pepper. It's been said that the Beatles were both the most commercial band in the world AND the most experimental band in the world. That's why they are legends.
I hear Sgt. Pepper is a phenomenal album, but I have never sat down and listened to it. I think I need to check out the history of The Beatles before revisiting them
@@AceofBadeReacts That's a good idea. There are plenty of videos about their history, from short ones like this -- th-cam.com/video/UEmSjDuTxyc/w-d-xo.html -- to full-length documentaries. The best of those is the four-disc Beatles Anthology. And of course there are *many* excellent books about the band.
If you're really serious about exploring their music, the best way to do that is to start from the beginning with their first British album, Please Please Me, and then work your way up from there. They made 13 studio albums in only seven years, from 1963 to 1969, and the extent of their artistic growth is astonishing.
@@michaelt6218 For sure. I'll check out the documentary. In terms of reacting to The Beatles, I was going to treat the reactions themselves like all the other songs I react to: Start with the songs on the request list and then go from there, so they will probably be out of order
@@AceofBadeReacts But, the other poster was correct though. It’s really best to listen to their music in chronological order in order to appreciate how quickly they developed over a relatively short period of time.
@@MsAppassionata That is fair. But at the same time, it's like that for almost any band that changed their sound and evolved
Video? Video?….what video???? This is about the MUSIC by the BEATLES….they never made a video to go with it…..I have lived with this since the day of its release….we had no internet, no phones, no videos…we only had the album cover and we listened to the F*****G music….’nuff said
I think it's hilarious how people just assume I knew this video didn't exist back in the day. I legit had no clue. Calm down
Are you reviewing the video or the song? 😐
Yes
@@AceofBadeReacts You should listen to the song.
Jeff Lynne of ELO idolized the Beatles and even produced their 2 reunion songs in 1995.
Maybe this is where Mr. Blue Sky got some inspiration from
It does sound like Mr Blue Sky!! Woah!
Yeah there's some similar aspects to it
I woke up, fell out of bed, dragged a comb across my head✌✌😁😁
Admittedly back in December I reviewed slightly differently, so I didn't analyze the song itself like I should have and like I have been doing lately. I might have to go back and re-evaluate the song to give an opinion on the lyrics itself
When you listen to a song for the first time, never watch the video. It distracts from the song.
Not always, but in this instance it did. I'm going to revisit this song in the future
The Beatles gave the Rolling Stones a song to record called I Want To Be Your Man which became a hit for them. They were friends in real life, not rivals😮😊
That is awesome
Beatles/If I Fell😊
It has been added to the list
Agree with other comments that the video is a major distraction. The music is a brilliant surrealistic experience. The abrupt mode swings coupled with the chaos is the point. Next time, I suggest putting the headphones on and closing your eyes.
Please see pinned comment
The Stones (Mick in particular) and Beatles got interested in a lot of things at the time - Eastern spiritual traditions, meditation, experimenting with new ideas, new fashions, etc. They hung around together.
They did seem to have quite a bit going on in the 60s
@@AceofBadeReacts and the Beatles (and others) - both reflected the massive social changes going on all over the world and also helped create or push some of those changes.
@@Dej12328 The 60s were a time
For sure! I was in 7th grade when President Kennedy was shot. The next few months were surreal. In February the Beatles landed in America and it gave us hope, and a sense that the future still held good things. All my friends and I were beginning to think about sex and relationships and love, and so The Beatles became the objects of our desires and fantasies. We grew up and changed with them, with the music which seemed to increase from everywhere, everyone daring to wear long hair, short skirts and wild colors. (Girls couldn’t wear pants to school till after I graduated high school.) We started to think about politics, and learned what young people were protesting for in Europe. Vietnam, and war or violence in general, became the central issue which everyone had to face. Civil rights of every kind became the call to action, and awareness of environmental crisis. People wanted change in almost aspect of life. Art pushed boundaries, and became international. There was plenty of fear, violence and people trying drugs but the overwhelming feeling was that the world had to change. @@AceofBadeReacts
Most normal Beatles song:
Really? I feel like it's quite the opposite, at least in terms of instrumentals
@@AceofBadeReacts Yah all the Beatles songs from 1963-1966 were mainly "normal songs" then the LSD started kicking in by Revolver and then by Sgt Pepper and Mystery Tour they went full on strange mode.
@@Hester-l6k Yeah there are some chaotic songs for sure, but then there's songs like Let it Be and Hey Jude that are in their later years and sound pretty normal to me
@@AceofBadeReacts “Normal” is relative. Many of the Beatles songs that sound "normal" today, were often unusual at the time of release, or at least had an unusual, but very often very lasting effect. For example, the seemingly normal track "I feel fine" with a very nice riff, that Lennon quotes and varies from another song, begins with the first guitar feedback, intended as a real sound effect. Not much later, many other guitarists turned feedbacks into a style, in a not always attractive, but sometimes interesting and exciting art form.
George Harrison's introduction of the sitar for the Modern Popular Culture, 1965, in the seemingly normal "Norwegian Wood" can easily be described as an introduction, to what is now known as world music. There are dozens of other Beatles songs with this kind of impact.
"Hey Jude", with the four-minute chorus and McCartney singing in a soul shouter style, can be seen as a track, that creates the stadium rock/pop sound. You know, the stadium singing along to the chorus and waving lighters around, all that stuff. Also very unusual for 1968.
This is the period when the Beatles were doing more experimental things with their music. Cross over to the psychedelic era
Yeah I'm going to have to learn about The Beatles before I react to them again
You guys are demonstrating for all of us how easily people who grew up in this tech generation can be manipulated. You truly have to question and consider what was available to the listener when this music was released. I am 100 percent sure this music played as a backdrop for something visually psychotic is frightening. The Beatles manipulated you with love...not fear!
From what I understand this video was created by the record company years later. Of course at the time of reacting to this we didn't know that
This is the most frustrating reaction video ever made
Haha thank you
translated my thoughts.
The legendary sustained chord . . .
I'm learning a lot about the Beatles
This was a John song. Paul only wrote and sang the middle section.
There's still a lot about The Beatles I don't know
Very misleading. John sparked it off with his opening verse but all the arrangement with the psychedelia, including "I'd love to turn you on" ("a lovely little lick Paul had floating around in his head") and Paul's middle with it's cheeky "had a smoke . . . and went into a dream" reference, the following dreamy "aaaah" section, and the orchestral cacophanies... all of that was created by the two of them together. As John said himself "I had the beginning bit and it urned Paul on, and he just went, bang bang, like that, and it all came together beautifully. It was a good piece of work between the two of us."
Forget the video.
The song is the masterpiece here.
Maybe you are not prepared yet.
If you want to learn music you have to start with the early Beatles songs first and keep going. It s gonna take you a few years but it's worth it.
Thanks
Please see the pinned comment about this
The video was added by someone much later. Not connected to the song in any way.
Yeah that's what I have come to understand. I'm starting to come to the conclusion there's probably quite a few Beatles songs that didn't have videos to accompany them that do now. I'll have to do a little research in the future
The video has little or nothing to do with the song.
Yeah I have heard that from a number of commenters. I will check this out in the future as a re-react
This is mainly a lennon song both sang
Sorry you missed the sixties kid.
Yeah 89 is a little after the 60s
first time watching your reactiion.... have to say I can see something of interest...what you guys donbt get and maybe cant understand is the diferrence sonically... the Beatles were... they changed music sonically...
There's a lot I don't know about the Beatles. I'm going to watch a documentary before revisiting
Happy Go lucky ???
The melody of the song at first is mellow and then during the 2nd verse is pretty upbeat and happy go lucky.
@@AceofBadeReactsbut the guy who blew his mind out in a car was real. He had been a friend of the Beatles who was killed in a car crash. Really this is a very dark song . The orchestra had all been asked to wear red noses and so on while they played. If I remember the video correctly I think it captures the overall mood pretty well. I mean it is frightening, right?
@@TrudyTrew Upbeat melody with dark lyrics. That sounds like quite a few bands that I have heard nowadays. Also yes clowns are terrifying
I think the song was inspired from the death of someone they knew... and John took it hard..
wow. That's incredible. And they made such a great song
The most epic 5:13 in music history.
It's meant to be chaotic, you dope! Educate yourself. Listen to the whole album and read up about it.
I'm learning, you dope. How about instead of giving a harsh comment, learn to give constructive criticism
@@AceofBadeReacts Ok, here's some constructive criticism for you :-
1) Do some prior research. It would take 5 minutes to look a song up on Wikipedia
2) There doesn't have to be a video to react to a song.
3) Don't interrupt the song.
@@thereunionparty 1). if I do research, I'll know what's coming up and ruin the surprise
2). Noted. That is true. I just haven't done that yet.
3). I have to pause to discuss. There's no getting around that. That may turn some people away from the channel, but I will discuss. Plus this isn't a substitute for the actual song. If you want to listen to the song all the way through, don't watch reaction channels
This was 1967 - the world was never the same after SPLHCB and A Day in the Life. It is hard to convey how revolutionary this was at the time we have nothing remotely comparable in today's music - in fact music no longer holds our imagination to speak of possibilities and of change in the way it did. Maybe too many dumb voices obliterating the visionaries?

The normal expectation is to hear you react to the music, you seem to be reacting mainly to the video. The Beatles had nothiing to do with this video, which was made many decades later.
In my defense I wasn't aware they didn't make it. Did they make any music videos? Do they have any footage in concert?
These are some of music videos the Beatles actually made (they were the first group to make 'music videos' as such bty).

if this was your first time hearing the actual song… you did a lot better than me, so i’ll give you credit. I first heard this song covered by the Bee Gees (and that dam movie too🙄) when i was a kid. So.. YES! ignore all the naysayers, you doing better than me😂
All the way through, yes. I remember hearing parts of this song, but I never listened to it all the way through. I'm still going to revisit the song later

The first time i EVER heard of “Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band” was through the Bee Gees (i was really into the Bee Gees, late 70s that time) and the movie they did with Peter Frampton i was like 9. it was only couple years after i found out it was a BEATLES album.. To this day i feel culturally lied to. What y’all did was a lot better. I wished i had discovered it the way y’all did than how i did. 👍👍❤️
@@derekroberts6654 I mean you discovered it. That's the important thing
This Z generation gets lost so quickly
Imagine assuming we're gen z, you boomer.
John sings most of the song. Paul sings the middle part.
I'm going to go back and listen to this song in the future
hey dudes not everything is about drugs with the Beatles...that is an insult to their creativity.. get educated
Not to insult the creativity. We grew up listening to the music, not with the knowledge of the Beatles themselves. I'm here to react to music and learn. Someone suggested a couple of documentaries to check out and I will before revisiting this band. Apparently some of the song was cut from the video itself, so I'll re-react to the album version in the future as a comparison
Man you stopped in the middle of one of the most famous transitions in musical history. Go back.
Some artists use sound instead of paint or sculpture. Just listen.
A lot of people have mentioned that. From someone who doesn't fully remember the song and hearing a pause in the song itself, it logically seemed to be the best place to pause to discuss
This song might be a little avant guard for a first foray into the Beatles catalogue. You might try something a little more approachable like Here Comes the Sun, Oh Darling or something from their earlier days like Help or Yesterday to get you started on this journey. As others have pointed out, the video has absolutely nothing to do with the song and was added many years later.
haha yeah it's looking like this song shouldn't have been reacted to yet. This is actually the 3rd Beatles song I've reacted to (there's a playlist at the end). I'll probably re-react to this song in the future as I heard there's more to it
Let's guess, somehow your offended, so chaotic, wtf happened to this generation???
Well you would have guessed wrong. Chaotic isn't bad. Did you even watch the reaction?
There was no vids then
Yeah that's what we have learned since this reaction came out
So guys it took 9 pianos, and 4 keyboards to keep that last note going. Which by the way is the longest note in the history of music.
That is so cool. I am going to circle back to this song in the future
The video is irrelevant. I'm sorry that you let the video distract you. It really sent your reaction in the wrong direction.
Based on the comments I would have to agree. I do plan to re-react to this song in the future, after watching a documentary on the band
thisis later stuff, you need to listen to early beatles really
Yeah I plan to check out more Beatles in the future and revisiting this song later on
You just got all wrong. Worry.
Well, that feels threatening. But check the pinned comment
You didn't let the song finish. You say drugs, a lot of our music from that period was drug influenced. Jim
What do you mean we didn't let the song finish?
@@AceofBadeReactsThere is a little bit more after that long final note. From 5min 10 seconds . You stopped at about 4-45. Most other reactors do the same. Possibly it's not on that video. It's on the CD and I think it was on the runout track on the original vinyl. So not really part of the track.

Per some previous comments on this reaction, there's a documentary I am going to check out before re-reacting to this later on
With all due respect, if you found the music chaotic, better forget the Beatles and music from the 60s/70s and listen to easier things. If you're going to talk about irrelevances, it's better not to say anything.
check the pinned comment
@@AceofBadeReacts ok, but don't make a new video with the girl, because she was visibly upset. Considering the facial expression of dissatisfaction that she didn't even hide, the opinion she might have had about the song is no longer important.
Unfortunately you chose the worst possible place to pause. Completely ruins the point of the build up. The juxtaposition between the chaos and the calmness is a pivotal point of the song that builds drama. Now you know I guess. It's about what happens to everyday people every day in their lives. Periods of chaos and calm.
Yeah that is very true. I always just try to pause at a point where there's a break in the performance/song. This was also at a point where I didn't back it up a little bit like I do now
You spoiled the experience by stopping it. Are you young guys afraid of the unusual or something? I've seen this before. You're so conservative.
I stopped it at the break of the song to discuss and then the only other time is when the video ended. Nothing political here
Conservative doesn't necessarily mean political. It means safe, comfortable within accepted norms and uncomfortable once the norm deviates in any way. I know why you stopped the song, but you missed the point of the transition. Besides, discussing a song halfway through doesn't make sense. In fact, it doesn't make sense with any form of art object since the goal of the artist is to create a cohesive whole. Anyway, I'm just irritated by this new convention of splitting 3-5 minute songs for a discussion. On that score, arguably the greatest rock album ever made, Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon is best heard in one sitting. The whole album is around forty minutes. If you do this you will find the experience enlightening and rewarding. You're welcome.@@AceofBadeReacts
@@same2659 There's no way I could sit through 40ish minutes of an album without pausing to discuss. Also finding the time to sit down and listen to 40ish minutes at a time with a full time job is impossible. I have been reacting to the Pulse concert with Pink Floyd if you want to check those out
Hi, I wasn't suggesting Dark Side as a reaction video, but as an example of something that is a cohesive whole as well as being a valuable experience for the relatively small investment of time, particularly for someone like yourself hemmed by work considerations. In fact, Dark Side is ideal for someone like you. The point though is that to derive the maximum from the experience you need to simply listen for the 40 mins ( I think it's actually 38mins). My suggestion was not intended as an imposition, but more as a tip-off, a pointing towards something musically and existentially wonderful and how to best approach the experience to derive the maximum from this particular piece of 20th century art. Best of luck.@@AceofBadeReacts
@@same2659 oh that's fair. It's hard to figure out when people are suggesting reactions and when they're just suggesting I check something out. That is much more manageable to check out on my own
