"And in the end the love you take is equal to the love you make" What an incredibly cosmic and poetic end to the most fabulous four boys from Liverpool, who simply defined a generation.
Here Comes The Sun. Every time I here this song , it makes me feel as if the sun is coming out Magic of the Beatles. There songs are about love and colour, to make you feel warm inside
I love all their albums but to me personally I'd say Abbey Road has to be my all-time favorite , it's such a delightful musical adventure ...and it just sounds like they had fun making it ....great reaction !
The Guitar solos during "The End were Paul, George and John trying to outdo each other. Recorded in one take. Every generation discovers The Beatles. ✌🚶♂️🚶♂️🚶♂️🚶♂️
This is one of the few bands where I know the words to nearly every single song from every single album! My parents purchased every album released ( a little unusual for African-Americans in the 1960's. My Dad also ADORED Bob Dylan) and you are basically listening to the soundtrack to my childhood. Welcome!
“Abbey Road is the greatest album from the greatest band of all time!” This is exactly how I’ve felt since the first time I played this album on my dad’s stereo when I was a youngster. I feel the same now and will feel the same until and after I die. Great reaction! Loved seeing your face react to it all. Fabulous! And, yes, Golden Slumbers, Carry that Weight and The End make for the best finale.
I was a young 16 years old when Abbey Road came out. We were all blown away by it.... especially the absolute perfection of side 2. To this very day, I am still in love with it. It never gets old. It is amazing how the Beatles ended their time together with such a masterpiece..... and that final verse of The End embodies everything the Beatles were all about. Love. I'm so glad you listened to it. Your smile from start to end tells the whole story.
Astonishing, towering genius. Abbey Road, the Beatles' last album and perhaps the most iconic of all their iconic masterpieces, the Beatles are at the top of their game. And, oh, the musicianship of the band is breathtaking: George Harrison's lead guitar soloing is astonishingly fluent, fluid, at turns jazzy, majestic, and then fiery and raw, with Harrison's now iconic cascading arpeggios, and narrative driven solos; Ringo decimates naysayers with his inventive and suddenly funk-friendly, sophisticated and melodic (!) fills and grooves; Lennon and McCartney are thunder and lightning in everything from proto-funk rock (Come Together) Latin-rock-funk-metal (I Want You, She's So Heavy), and of course, its the "Quiet Beatle" George Harrison who steals the show with his incandescent Something and Here Comes the Sun. The sophistication and yet immediately addictive vocal harmonies, iconic guitar playing, grooving drums: the Beatles define their sound, their era, and they set the template for future conceptual masterpiece, for geniuses of succeeding generations, from Prince to Beyoncé, the team Dre and Eminem to Mary Blige, and so many more in their conceptual album masterpieces. That is the measure of their influence and the brilliance of the Beatles, demonstrated well...here, there, and everywhere on this chef-d'oeuvre, ABBEY ROAD. And compliments, MANY compliments, to Cimdy Style for HER sense of smart style, strikingly sensitive and insightful reviews, and compelling presence. She's all of THAT: Smart. Compelling. Thought-provoking. Gorgeous. Cimdy Style: Now THERE'S a commentator worthy of the smart, thought-provoking, and gorgeous album, Abbey Road.
@@AryanKulkarni31 : Yes, indeed.However Let It Be, with the exception of the added-on song I, Me, Mine and the album version of the song Let It Be (featuring the iconic "screaming guitar" solo take by George Harrison ,which is actually less technical than his alternative solo on the single but much more raw and emotional) was actually recorded BEFORE the sessions for Abbey Road. Both Albums show the Beatles at the top of their form as musicians, playing a very bluesy, often both jazzy and gospel-influenced, mix of road-house, proto-funk, soul baladry and Latin rock styles.
@@renechateaubriand2645 yeah i know let it be was recorded before abbey road, but let it be was technically their last album released that's what im saying, otherwise you are correct , absolutely not denying it
@@betsyab121 : Indeed, although I do like the raw, bluesy, jam-session based feel of the whole of Let It Be. Abbey Road also features a funk, groove-tight sound, with a startlingly fluid, Harrison-dominating guitar and Ringo's most accomplished, groove-oriented playing. But that doesn't diminish the gospel-inflected power of the song Let It Be, or say, the terrific blues wail of Harrison's guitar solos on his sophisticated I Me Mine, which could have fit easily into Abbey Road (the album version of I Me Mine is actually the last song the Beatles ever recorded together; likewise, George recorded this famed "screaming"lead guitar solo on the album version of Let It Be after his version for the single. It is the last guitar solo that Harrison recorded for the Beatles as a unified band). And songs like I've Got A Feeling, Get Back, and One after 909, all songs written out of jam sessions, have a terrific raw, roadhouse sound and are incredible funky, groovy numbers. It's classic late-era Beatles stuff.
Yes, Ringo is the gold standard! Paul is a genius! John is an ice breaker! George is a virtuoso! All those adjectives! Thx! You and I seem to have great taste in music! -Terry, Canoga Park
Loved that reaction, Cimdy, I have listened to this so many times over the years and I never ever get tired of hearing it. Another half an hour in the presence of the biggest band in the world, and you, with the biggest smile in the world, both brightening our lives. Thank you for sharing. x DJ
I really think Ringo and Paul would really appreciate seeing this video from someone who never heard their music before. Both the comments and reactions really bring a greater light and a deeper appreciation of their music to long time Beatle fans!
This entire sequence has always been my favorite of their many masterpieces! “Because” and “Sun King” have some of their most beautiful harmonies. The rest of it just speaks for itself. Pure genius is the term you were searching for. Musical heaven! 😇
George and John wrote some great songs for this album, but Paul's vocals on You Never Give Me Your Money and Carry That Weight are the best he ever sang. Also, I love the way he incorporates the previous song into the latter. It's pure genius and always gives me goosebumps. Plus, I love The End.
@@tedwoods8117 Originally they had disagreements over whether I Want You should have been the ending song (John wanted the last Beatles track, before Let it Be became a thing, to end in white noise), it's funny to think the Beatles were so good that the A-side wanted to switch with the B-side.
The Beatles are indeed an encapsulation of something wonderful that happened at the right moment in history. As our world drifts and loses its way, they can serve as a reference to what we humans do best - what we need to get back to.
Thank you for reacting to this medley as it was meant to be heard! "And In The End The Love You Take Is Equal To The Love You Make"! What a way to finish their time together as a band! Peace and Love!!
Such an incredible reaction, thank you Cimdy! I think Abbey Road is the best album ever, and side 2 is magic! I 100% agree on Ringo, no one fits drums specifically to the music as well as him. I especially love all three of John, George and Paul playing lead guitar solos off each other at the end of 'The End'. Since this was the last album they recorded together, what a fantastic end to an album and a band!
This was their final recording, though Let It Be was released later. And "The End" was their final message to their fans and the world. "And in the end, the love you take, is equal to the love you make." People are still listening to The Beatles 50 years after they broke up, so they were right. The love they made with their music is still returned by their fans.
I was 18 when this album was released. I have it framed like artwork on my living room wall. Did not know that 51 years later, people would still be listening and showing so much respect.
So glad you did this. The long one is just a masterpiece. I still enjoy it after listen to it for over fifty years. It’s so nice to see you react. Thanks.
Is there anyone that don’t love Beatles? To be honest I don’t really know much about this band Not until I start watching your reactions on their songs and am falling for their songs/voices. Great job keep it coming
You could hunt around and find the most popular songs. Or look at the Beatles discography and listen to them one after the other. Like we did when we were 16 years old and be taken on this musical journey over seven years. Jumping around you loose the musical development, the increasing sophistication, the change in style and the their entire expansion. (At the beginning of course the songs were simpler, but knowing roughly where they ended you can keep your ear out for the milestones they were passing to get there.
It brings tears to my eyes, to watch each new generation discover the Beatles. All love and talent. It makes you wonder why there's no real music written now. Nothing else comes close.
@@johnboylan3591 False, the last song all four of them recorded together was “I Want You (She’s So Heavy)”. They recorded most of side 2 first before side 1.
I not sure if I've ever enjoyed listening to this as much as I did watching your face light up while you listened. Doing reactions to whole sides is a great idea......I know it'd take some time .....but maybe do the whole Beatle experience from start to finish....side at a time......sure would be fun to do that again.....except this time with you along throughout the journey. Totally loved loved LOVED THIS!!!!! 💖💋💖💋💖🎼💖🎹💖🎸💖🌈💖💋💖💋💖
I really really thoroughly enjoyed listening to the very first song, right, but that second one, mhmh maybe because I don't want to hear "makes me cry" part. Listened all the way to the end. Yeah shout out to Ringo, a great drummer! Beautiful reaction always
At times I have a hard time listening to this because it chronicles the end of The Beatles. I tear up at Golden Slumbers (Lullaby) and You’re Going To Carry That Weight. It’s like a message to the fans, and then what they expect after the break up
After the disaster that was the 'Get Back' sessions, Paul was still keen to put out another album and wanted George Martin to produce it. George's main stipulation was that he gets to produce it the way he did in the old days and ALL 4 guys be involved, especially John. Although John did miss out on some of the studio time because of a car wreck (the man can't drive, folks), he did show up and with some enthusiasm. Side 2 of the album is definitely a testimony to Martin's production mastery. John is often disparaged for calling Side 2 'junk'. Well...it actually was. It was a conglomeration of unfinished bits that were laying around which were patched together to be something.It was also the last message to Beatles' fans. Although no one was consciously thinking that this was the last album ever, it turned out to be not only a magnificent end to an album but a fitting goodbye message. Thanks for listening to that with me.
Yeah, pretty junk. John had a habit of talking himself into corners. Like when he said Ringo wasn't even the best drummer in the Beatles. Ringo was the right drummer for the the band . Think if they'd a Keith Moon, or Ginger Baker, super egos who upstage at every chance. And Ringo was learning & developing as they learned & developed.
Although John did not like this assembly of songs so much, it's safe to say he was still pissed off with his songs predominantly ending up on the B side of singles. However this progression of songs really did start the progressive rock movement. It inspired the likes of Genesis, Phil Collins, Yes and Pink Floyd.. thank God for Beatles..
Awesome reaction Cimdy! You pretty much heard the whole Abbey Road album if you include your other reactions. If I may do so I recommend you listen to This Boy by The Beatles. Their early stuff is just as good
Indeed, indeed. Even that most eclectic of near-contemporary icons, the late guitar genius and songwriter Prince, works with the Beatles template: creative control, multicultural/multiracial eclecticism, strikingly inventive melodicism and experimental, often avant-garde musical juxtapositions, and of course, the iconoclastic rebellion against established norms, gender, class, and race hierarchies. And certainly musically, the influence is direct: never mind Prince's shout-outs to the Beatles (Raspberry Beret, Pop Life, his iconic guitar solo tribute to George on George's While My Guitar Gently Weeps, etc.), you can trace Prince's mix of raw intensity and majestic, octave-climbing, narrative-driven guitar solo on Purple Rain almost directly to George Harrison's similarly conceptualized, iconic guitar solo on the album version of Let It Be. In fact, if you think about it, you can find the Beatles' enduring influence in artists ranging from the team of Eminem and Dre (a contemporary Lennon and McCartney in temperament, approach, and areas of genius) to Beyoncé's and certainly Mary Blige's concept pieces, let alone the classic rock-era's masterpieces by Marvin Gaye (What's Goin' On), Stevie Wonder (Inner Visions, Songs In the Key of Life), and so on, ever thus. Unimaginably great , iconic, era-defining works by the Beatles have given rise to and directly and indirectly influenced succeeding generations of iconic artists in different genres. And this perhaps is the most poignant and powerful evidence of the Beatles greatness: they defined the 1960s but they continue forever to shape the Ages.
@@renechateaubriand2645 your suppose to write a comment, not a book 😁. Yes, I believe everyone from blues, rock, rap, metal, grunge etc, have all been influenced by the Beatles. A truly remarkable legacy.
@@ozman9353 : Normally, I post 'em fast, furious, and fairly terse and short. But the Beatles--or a Bob Marley, Jimi You-Know-Who, Prince, Aretha, Chaka, the greats-- deserve The Book, because they single-handedly bequeathed The Word. Jess Sayen'....
Great reaction! They really entertainedme as I was cooking. I didn't want it to end. Wow!! You've made me love The Beatles and I'm Loving the feelings.
Great fun reaction Comfy. This was the last side of the last Lp they recorded together. Pretty good way to go out, right? No deep lyrics here, just straight forward stuff except for Because is John's song with him, Paul and George harmonizing together, we never got to hear enough of that, they were great together. The medley of three songs starting with John's Mean Mr. Mustard and ending with Paul's She Came In Thru The Bathroom Window were incomplete songs that they had and they just stitched them together, it's Genius! Sun King the three of them again and the language at the end is Cod-Spanish, Italian and nonsense Portuguese with a little English. Digest that, pretty cool stuff! Take care and have a wonderful day 💕
Loved your reaction! My dad was a classically trained jazz musician and had a musical instrument repair shop back in the '60's. He "hated" rock music, until one of his trumpet students gave him this album to listen to. He brought it into the living room just to have us (my brother, sister, mom and I) also listen to it. I was eleven years old at the time, and it's one of my clearest memories. From "Come Together" to "Her Majesty" at the end, my dad kept saying, "Wow. I can't believe this. This is pure genius!" My mom, who was an East German refugee, also loved it, especially the song "Because," which, coincidentally, was inspired by Beethoven, her favorite composer. From that point on, my dad started buying Beatles albums and albums by other rock bands. He even started wearing his hair long, lol. To this day, I have to stop everything I'm doing whenever a Beatles song is playing. Thanks for this video!
This side B of Abbey Road is simply the cherry at the top of the tart. They actually showed their inspiration on being a rock band here, there and everywhere. This album will remain into the top of the hall of best music ever written. You can't stop listening and being captivated with every single tune...... yes. They are the best of the best ever.
Wow. Honestly I can't believe you played the 2nd side without saying a word. It was mesmerizing for me. The Beatles... their body of work..... Epic. Can't be put into words and communicate it fully. And Ringo.... what you said is so true. And I wasn't aware of that until recently I've seen videos of drummers singing Ringo's praises and then demonstrating what he's doing and why he stands alone in many ways for what he contributes to the band. And I could see it and listen to it and it made complete sense. And I'm in my 60's (66). My first record album that I purchased is .... Meet the Beatles. Came out in January, 1964. I was 9 years old... and I still have it. Anyway, I was watching and listening to this reaction video and I heard myself say silently... Well you have to subscribe to this. It doesn't get any better than this. So I did. Beautiful. Great smile. Great energy. Thanks, Dave
I'm so glad that you listened to the whole 'side' now, the 'medley' is even more effective when preceded by George's 'Here Comes The Sun' lifting your heart with hope, with John's gentle tranquilizing 'Because', providing the perfect mood setting for Paul's tender 'You Never Give Me Your Money' before the journey begins! The 'medley' alone is great of course, but just sayin'.....glad you heard it 'right' (and with 'Her Majesty' NOT interrupting the transition from 'Mean Mr. Mustard' and 'Polythene Pam' ) ! haha Carry on Cimdy, love your Beatles videos! Have you watched the rooftop performance of songs from the 'Let It Be' album yet? I'm looking forward to your reaction!
I still get chills when I hear the end of this medley. The first time I heard it I was a little girl. My dad would play the Beatles in the car when we went on trips. When this album came out, it was sad as it was the end of an era and also so beautiful at the end. I love the Abbey Road video with them playing on the rooftop in London. I love the way Paul changes his voice to sound like Ringo's in You Never Give Me Your Money. My favorite line is out of Polythene Pam, she could steel but she could not rob....
Ringo is a left handed man who plays a right handed drum kit. His drumming is unique because of that and because he was rock solid. John, Paul and George wanted ringo. That's how good he is.
NOW, THAT IS HOW YOU LISTEN TO A BEATLES ALBUM... THE ENTIRE SIDE EITHER SIDE 1 OR SIDE 2 OR BOTH SIDES.BLESS YOU FOR BEING OPEN MINDED AND LOVING THEIR MUSIC.
When I hear side 2 of Abbey Road this happens to me too ----> 😊 Welcome to the "Abbey Road Side 2" club Cimdy. Glad you heard it the 1969 way! 😁 And your praise of Ringo! You get it! LOL! Ringo's unique drumming style really made that unique Beatles sound, along with the other guys of course. Here are two videos for you to enjoy (when you have time), of two young drummers comparing Ringo's drumming style to that of 'conventional' drumming styles. When watching one can really see the differences as they will play Ringo's drumming, then a conventional style during certain Beatles songs so you can hear the difference. They will play a few songs you're not familiar with so I suggest listening to (or better do reactions to) at least these 3 songs first: "Strawberry Fields Forever", "She Loves You", "Ticket To Ride". The last two there are early Beatles so this will given two "oldies" to add to your growing library. Yep, the planets seemed to aligned when the Beatles did their thing! And it was only a few months after this album release they broke up. It was a shock when they did, and looking back we see this album, particularly Side 2, as their last good jam session together despite the squabbling and arguments that wore them down. Anyway, awesome reaction, happy the vinyl video worked out and I hope your video stays up. Cheers! Here are the Ringo videos: th-cam.com/video/0NCczct2ZIM/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/7CB8xToC-CU/w-d-xo.html
That's surprising. Klaus Voorman who played bass on all the Beatles' first solo albums except McCartney said that Ringo wasn't a technical drummer but adequate enough to get the job done. Voorman was also a friend of John Lennon and designed the cover of Revolver. While Quincy Jones used a session drummer to replace Ringo on an album thinking Ringo drumming wasn't any good.
@@Raider577 I hear what you mean about Ringo. He was not a Neil Peart or John Bonham style of drummer. But for some reason George Martin wanted Best replaced, and perhaps the other three too. Perhaps because Ringo wasn't a technical or conventional drummer, and Martin was possibly looking for a unique style. In the drama, Birth of the Beatles (with Pete Best as 'technical advisor'), the scene where Pete is being fired Pete yells at Epstein that even Ringo knows he (Pete) was a better drummer. But Raider, I can't imagine any other style of drumming on these immortal Beatles songs than Ringo's, as the two young drummers demonstrate in the video links. I recently discovered Voorman designed the Revolver cover. He was with George Harrison in the Concert for Bangladesh too. ✌️😎
@@GrouchyMarx Yes you're probably right. I saw Voorman talk about Ringo on a TV programme made a few years ago on the Sky Arts channel here in England. The programme was called 'My Beatles Black Album' where Conductor Charles Hazlewood creates a unique and personal compilation album formed of solo tracks made by John, Paul, George and Ringo following The Beatles' breakup in 1970.
Good to hear someone give Ringo the credit that he well deserves. He just plays the right thing at the right time. His greatness is bot recognized by most people.
Hi Cimdy, I love how you do this reacting thing. You don't stop every minute to drop your comments. Is like we listening this album together. Beautiful. Much appreciated. Thank you

That is exactly what John Lennon said during an interview all those years ago. Peace and Love!!
Nice to hear your appreciation for Ringo's playing here. The musicianship on this album is awesome.
Thank you so much Briar
This, and all the previous seven years of the Beatles works will be studied 500 years from now.

The medley was mainly put together by scraps of unfinished songs they had written while in India. The result is pure genius. 😀
Totally genius
Only the Beatles could pick up the left overs from their most toxic periode of the band and turn these Into pur gold.

You are so right. The B-Side is uncredible. Even after more than 50 years. Seen as a whole the B-Side is best progressive rock.

I was 18 when this album was released. I have it framed like artwork on my living room wall. Did not know that 51 years later, people would still be listening and showing so much respect.
Thank you for giving ringo his props
So glad you did this. The long one is just a masterpiece. I still enjoy it after listen to it for over fifty years.
It’s so nice to see you react. Thanks.
Is there anyone that don’t love Beatles? To be honest I don’t really know much about this band Not until I start watching your reactions on their songs and am falling for their songs/voices. Great job keep it coming
u should try these songs, Let it be, Something, Yesterday, A day in the life, Im my life, dont let me down, we can work it out etc
Thank you so much Kay 💕
You could hunt around and find the most popular songs. Or look at the Beatles discography and listen to them one after the other. Like we did when we were 16 years old and be taken on this musical journey over seven years. Jumping around you loose the musical development, the increasing sophistication, the change in style and the their entire expansion. (At the beginning of course the songs were simpler, but knowing roughly where they ended you can keep your ear out for the milestones they were passing to get there.
Key, you are not alone. Millions of girls fell for the Beatle's. Their music is timeless.
It brings tears to my eyes, to watch each new generation
discover the Beatles. All love and talent. It makes you wonder why there's no real music written now. Nothing else comes close.
So amazing music and lovely voice thanks for sharing
Right now you're my favorite fan of my favorite band! 🙂
This is simple feel good music, full listen.💃🏾😊 Happy weekend
Happy Weekend Sis🤗
Wow great music of all times, I had a nice time listening... and the drum lines is amazing 🔥,
I love{ YOU NEVER GIVE ME MONEY,I REALLY ENJOYED IT ❤❤👍
After all, this record is downright genius. Few will go beyond this, if ever
Abbey Road favorite album.
The 2nd side of Abbey Road has been favorably compared to Mozart and Beethoven as the greatest music ever written.
John didn't like it thou..
The End the last thing the Beatles ever recorded
@@ZoolGatekeeper You know nothing, John Snow 🤣
@@johnboylan3591 False, the last song all four of them recorded together was “I Want You (She’s So Heavy)”. They recorded most of side 2 first before side 1.
@@rupertschwarz5477 Yr right.. John was the Egg man after all..And maybe you have more fake news for me then? (silence is also good, It's golden).
I not sure if I've ever enjoyed listening to this as much as I did watching your face light up while you listened. Doing reactions to whole sides is a great idea......I know it'd take some time .....but maybe do the whole Beatle experience from start to finish....side at a time......sure would be fun to do that again.....except this time with you along throughout the journey. Totally loved loved LOVED THIS!!!!! 💖💋💖💋💖🎼💖🎹💖🎸💖🌈💖💋💖💋💖
Thank you so much
wow this is amazing thank you for sharing I enjoyed
Wow wow listened from the beginning right to the end..I mean is really hard to pick a favourite song from the beatles 👌👌👌😍😍
yup. Abbey Road is a masterpiece, they are timeless.
For me, it's easy to pick a favorite song from the Beatles; it's whichever one I'm listening to at the moment.
Can't tell you how much I enjoyed your watching you react to this masterpiece
Abbey Road was their last album and they were at the top of their game. Amazing!
Great music from one of history's best music band
One of?
The end of the medley makes me always sad, because it was their final goodbye.
And how many Beatles songs don't make you cry
I really really thoroughly enjoyed listening to the very first song, right, but that second one, mhmh maybe because I don't want to hear "makes me cry" part. Listened all the way to the end. Yeah shout out to Ringo, a great drummer! Beautiful reaction always
Thank you so much Princess
Wow, she was all smiles. I enjoyed that. This album is a miracle. I've gone through 6 copies of it.
Fun fact.....Ringo's 'one and only' drum solo came on the Beatles final song 'The End' of their last studio album Abby Road.
At times I have a hard time listening to this because it chronicles the end of The Beatles. I tear up at Golden Slumbers (Lullaby) and You’re Going To Carry That Weight. It’s like a message to the fans, and then what they expect after the break up
One of the best albums ever
After the disaster that was the 'Get Back' sessions, Paul was still keen to put out another album and wanted George Martin to produce it. George's main stipulation was that he gets to produce it the way he did in the old days and ALL 4 guys be involved, especially John. Although John did miss out on some of the studio time because of a car wreck (the man can't drive, folks), he did show up and with some enthusiasm. Side 2 of the album is definitely a testimony to Martin's production mastery. John is often disparaged for calling Side 2 'junk'. Well...it actually was. It was a conglomeration of unfinished bits that were laying around which were patched together to be something.It was also the last message to Beatles' fans. Although no one was consciously thinking that this was the last album ever, it turned out to be not only a magnificent end to an album but a fitting goodbye message.
Thanks for listening to that with me.
Yeah, pretty junk. John had a habit of talking himself into corners. Like when he said Ringo wasn't even the best drummer in the Beatles. Ringo was the right drummer for the the band . Think if they'd a Keith Moon, or Ginger Baker, super egos who upstage at every chance. And Ringo was learning & developing as they learned & developed.
Although John did not like this assembly of songs so much, it's safe to say he was still pissed off with his songs predominantly ending up on the B side of singles. However this progression of songs really did start the progressive rock movement. It inspired the likes of Genesis, Phil Collins, Yes and Pink Floyd.. thank God for Beatles..
? Both Genesis and Yes already had an album out and Pink Floyd had 4 out by the time Abbey Road was released.
Just one word BEAUTIFUL 🙂 Have always loved The Beatles and love your reaction too.... Peace and love from London UK 🇬🇧. Fin x
A string of gems. Each one sparkles with a clear musical statement.
Awesome reaction Cimdy! You pretty much heard the whole Abbey Road album if you include your other reactions. If I may do so I recommend you listen to This Boy by The Beatles. Their early stuff is just as good
I will listen to it
Ever since the Beatles, I don't think there has been a song written that hasn't been influenced by them. The most versatile band ever.
Indeed, indeed. Even that most eclectic of near-contemporary icons, the late guitar genius and songwriter Prince, works with the Beatles template: creative control, multicultural/multiracial eclecticism, strikingly inventive melodicism and experimental, often avant-garde musical juxtapositions, and of course, the iconoclastic rebellion against established norms, gender, class, and race hierarchies. And certainly musically, the influence is direct: never mind Prince's shout-outs to the Beatles (Raspberry Beret, Pop Life, his iconic guitar solo tribute to George on George's While My Guitar Gently Weeps, etc.), you can trace Prince's mix of raw intensity and majestic, octave-climbing, narrative-driven guitar solo on Purple Rain almost directly to George Harrison's similarly conceptualized, iconic guitar solo on the album version of Let It Be.
In fact, if you think about it, you can find the Beatles' enduring influence in artists ranging from the team of Eminem and Dre (a contemporary Lennon and McCartney in temperament, approach, and areas of genius) to Beyoncé's and certainly Mary Blige's concept pieces, let alone the classic rock-era's masterpieces by Marvin Gaye (What's Goin' On), Stevie Wonder (Inner Visions, Songs In the Key of Life), and so on, ever thus.
Unimaginably great , iconic, era-defining works by the Beatles have given rise to and directly and indirectly influenced succeeding generations of iconic artists in different genres. And this perhaps is the most poignant and powerful evidence of the Beatles greatness: they defined the 1960s but they continue forever to shape the Ages.
@@renechateaubriand2645 your suppose to write a comment, not a book 😁. Yes, I believe everyone from blues, rock, rap, metal, grunge etc, have all been influenced by the Beatles. A truly remarkable legacy.
@@ozman9353 : Normally, I post 'em fast, furious, and fairly terse and short. But the Beatles--or a Bob Marley, Jimi You-Know-Who, Prince, Aretha, Chaka, the greats-- deserve The Book, because they single-handedly bequeathed The Word. Jess Sayen'....
Great reaction! They really entertainedme as I was cooking. I didn't want it to end. Wow!! You've made me love The Beatles and I'm Loving the feelings.
Nice reaction. I was thinking what was going to happen, when you expressed your face like that. Nice music
Great choice. Great reaction. ❤️
Thank you so much
Great fun reaction Comfy. This was the last side of the last Lp they recorded together. Pretty good way to go out, right? No deep lyrics here, just straight forward stuff except for Because is John's song with him, Paul and George harmonizing together, we never got to hear enough of that, they were great together. The medley of three songs starting with John's Mean Mr. Mustard and ending with Paul's She Came In Thru The Bathroom Window were incomplete songs that they had and they just stitched them together, it's Genius! Sun King the three of them again and the language at the end is Cod-Spanish, Italian and nonsense Portuguese with a little English. Digest that, pretty cool stuff! Take care and have a wonderful day 💕
Loved your reaction! My dad was a classically trained jazz musician and had a musical instrument repair shop back in the '60's. He "hated" rock music, until one of his trumpet students gave him this album to listen to. He brought it into the living room just to have us (my brother, sister, mom and I) also listen to it. I was eleven years old at the time, and it's one of my clearest memories. From "Come Together" to "Her Majesty" at the end, my dad kept saying, "Wow. I can't believe this. This is pure genius!" My mom, who was an East German refugee, also loved it, especially the song "Because," which, coincidentally, was inspired by Beethoven, her favorite composer. From that point on, my dad started buying Beatles albums and albums by other rock bands. He even started wearing his hair long, lol. To this day, I have to stop everything I'm doing whenever a Beatles song is playing. Thanks for this video!
This side B of Abbey Road is simply the cherry at the top of the tart. They actually showed their inspiration on being a rock band here, there and everywhere. This album will remain into the top of the hall of best music ever written. You can't stop listening and being captivated with every single tune...... yes. They are the best of the best ever.
So interesting music thanks for sharing
Indeed…
Thy have amazing album, and your smile is so cute
John Lennon told Paul he was going to "carry the weight" of bring a Beatle his entire life.
Their greatest album and the greatest album side ever. The Beatles went out on top of their game.
I love Ringo too.
Your smile is everything ! And this side nr 2 from Abbey Road, have i played so many times. Its outstanding!! Thank you for playing this. 🥰
Thank you so much
Wow. Honestly I can't believe you played the 2nd side without saying a word. It was mesmerizing for me. The Beatles... their body of work..... Epic. Can't be put into words and communicate it fully. And Ringo.... what you said is so true. And I wasn't aware of that until recently I've seen videos of drummers singing Ringo's praises
and then demonstrating what he's doing and why he stands alone in many ways for what he contributes to the
band. And I could see it and listen to it and it made complete sense. And I'm in my 60's (66). My first record album that I purchased is .... Meet the Beatles. Came out in January, 1964. I was 9 years old... and I still have it.
Anyway, I was watching and listening to this reaction video and I heard myself say silently... Well you have to
subscribe to this. It doesn't get any better than this. So I did. Beautiful. Great smile. Great energy. Thanks, Dave
That an finale record abbey road i really love every single song❤☺
because the sky is blue ... that reaction 💕
Thank you all for the Love and Support. The Beatles's Playlist th-cam.com/play/PLJ9dUgur5Qqjj6OVFNLh5B79J3pjEAGQl.html
I'm so glad that you listened to the whole 'side' now, the 'medley' is even more effective when preceded by George's 'Here Comes The Sun' lifting your heart with hope, with John's gentle tranquilizing 'Because', providing the perfect mood setting for Paul's tender 'You Never Give Me Your Money' before the journey begins! The 'medley' alone is great of course, but just sayin'.....glad you heard it 'right' (and with 'Her Majesty' NOT interrupting the transition from 'Mean Mr. Mustard' and 'Polythene Pam' ) ! haha
Carry on Cimdy, love your Beatles videos!
Have you watched the rooftop performance of songs from the 'Let It Be' album yet? I'm looking forward to your reaction!
That was awesome, with the vinyl playing and no stopping. Thanks from a big Beatles fan.
I still get chills when I hear the end of this medley. The first time I heard it I was a little girl. My dad would play the Beatles in the car when we went on trips. When this album came out, it was sad as it was the end of an era and also so beautiful at the end. I love the Abbey Road video with them playing on the rooftop in London. I love the way Paul changes his voice to sound like Ringo's in You Never Give Me Your Money. My favorite line is out of Polythene Pam, she could steel but she could not rob....
she could steel but she could not rob.... is from bathroom window, not poly pam
Ringo is a left handed man who plays a right handed drum kit. His drumming is unique because of that and because he was rock solid. John, Paul and George wanted ringo. That's how good he is.
You're so right no bad album. They are amazing. I loved seeing you smile. Superb reaction Beatles forever!
Thank you so much Estee🤗
The way you vibe out to the Beatles is infectious! ♥️🧡💛💚💙💜
NOW, THAT IS HOW YOU LISTEN TO A BEATLES ALBUM... THE ENTIRE SIDE EITHER SIDE 1 OR SIDE 2 OR BOTH SIDES.BLESS YOU FOR BEING OPEN MINDED AND LOVING THEIR MUSIC.
Thank you so much Colin
I really love it. But my first time hearing about him
When I hear side 2 of Abbey Road this happens to me too ----> 😊 Welcome to the "Abbey Road Side 2" club Cimdy. Glad you heard it the 1969 way! 😁 And your praise of Ringo! You get it! LOL! Ringo's unique drumming style really made that unique Beatles sound, along with the other guys of course. Here are two videos for you to enjoy (when you have time), of two young drummers comparing Ringo's drumming style to that of 'conventional' drumming styles. When watching one can really see the differences as they will play Ringo's drumming, then a conventional style during certain Beatles songs so you can hear the difference. They will play a few songs you're not familiar with so I suggest listening to (or better do reactions to) at least these 3 songs first: "Strawberry Fields Forever", "She Loves You", "Ticket To Ride". The last two there are early Beatles so this will given two "oldies" to add to your growing library. Yep, the planets seemed to aligned when the Beatles did their thing! And it was only a few months after this album release they broke up. It was a shock when they did, and looking back we see this album, particularly Side 2, as their last good jam session together despite the squabbling and arguments that wore them down. Anyway, awesome reaction, happy the vinyl video worked out and I hope your video stays up. Cheers! Here are the Ringo videos:

Thank you so much for sending the link to Abbey Road Side 2 . I truly appreciate you.
That's surprising. Klaus Voorman who played bass on all the Beatles' first solo albums except McCartney said that Ringo wasn't a technical drummer but adequate enough to get the job done. Voorman was also a friend of John Lennon and designed the cover of Revolver. While Quincy Jones used a session drummer to replace Ringo on an album thinking Ringo drumming wasn't any good.
@@Raider577 I hear what you mean about Ringo. He was not a Neil Peart or John Bonham style of drummer. But for some reason George Martin wanted Best replaced, and perhaps the other three too. Perhaps because Ringo wasn't a technical or conventional drummer, and Martin was possibly looking for a unique style. In the drama, Birth of the Beatles (with Pete Best as 'technical advisor'), the scene where Pete is being fired Pete yells at Epstein that even Ringo knows he (Pete) was a better drummer. But Raider, I can't imagine any other style of drumming on these immortal Beatles songs than Ringo's, as the two young drummers demonstrate in the video links. I recently discovered Voorman designed the Revolver cover. He was with George Harrison in the Concert for Bangladesh too. ✌️😎
@@GrouchyMarx Yes you're probably right.
I saw Voorman talk about Ringo on a TV programme made a few years ago on the Sky Arts channel here in England. The programme was called 'My Beatles Black Album' where Conductor Charles Hazlewood creates a unique and personal compilation album formed of solo tracks made by John, Paul, George and Ringo following The Beatles' breakup in 1970.
Exactly how we heard it back in 1971...😄
1969
@@randy8297 September.
Good to hear someone give Ringo the credit that he well deserves. He just plays the right thing at the right time. His greatness is bot recognized by most people.
Hi Cimdy, I love how you do this reacting thing. You don't stop every minute to drop your comments. Is like we listening this album together. Beautiful. Much appreciated. Thank you
"And in the End" I have heard more than 50 times...and gets more poignant every time "the love you take is equal to the love you make."
