Just a brief suggestion going forward . Since all of the Beatle albums , up until the White album , were originally recorded , mixed and released in a monophonic format , you might want to consider , if available , using brief monophonic background samples to accompany the narration . Thanks again for your informative efforts across all of your entertaining reviews .
Beatles facts you may not know. 1. To play it safe, because of George's strep throat, The Beatles tuned their guitars down one half step for the February 9,1964 Ed Sullivan Shows, both the afternoon taped performance as well as the historic live night-time performance. They were also tuned down as well at The Washington Coliseum and Carnegie Hall concerts. But they tuned back up into key for the second Sullivan Show from Miami Beach. 2. Some songs in the film A Hard Day's Night are a half step flat. They are If I Fell, And I Love Her, I'm So Happy Just To Dance With You, and the entire Finale including Tell Me Why, If I Fell, I Should Have Known Better and She Loves You. The Beatles recorded all these songs in their proper keys but there was a problem. During the filming of those songs, there were t.v. monitors in the scene. When filming those scenes in 24fps, the producer and director noticed the monitors were rolling. So they had to shoot at 25fps to stop the roll. When the film was released to the world, it was released in the standard 24fps. Therfore those songs with the t.v. monitors in them were a bit slower and therefore the keys were a half step flat. So in the movie, If I Fell is in Db, And I Love Her in Eb, I'm So Happy Just To Dance With You is in Eb. Tell Me Why it's in Db. She Loves You is in Gb. Now the Beatles performed I Should Have Known Better twice. Once in the train playing cards with no tv monitor in the scene. That version is in the proper key of G. However they also did the song during the finale WITH TV MONITORS in the scene, which is why that version is in Gb. Most Beatles fans do not know these facts. But now you do! 🎼👌
when you wonder how or why they broke up, look at the schedule they were put through from 64 on, they got so burned out from their own fame and success
@@peterlois1086 This was the real reason for the end of their touring. In 1966 John said, “We're more popular than Jesus now; I don't know which will go first-rock 'n' roll or Christianity” It had no affect in England but in the United States: Public bonfires of Beatles records Protests by the Ku Klux Klan DJs refusing to play the band's songs Pastors sermonizing against them A chaotic tour that turned out to be their last.
@@lennon1252 well they also took alot of pride in performing as a solid group and with the screaming during shows they struggle to sound tight and perform at the level they wanted. Their success literally caused them to retreat to the studio and stop playing live. Also technology sucked for live shows in those days
@@peterlois1086 Exactly, I can only imagine how frustrating it would’ve been to think “our album sounds so perfect but we can’t even begin to reproduce this live on tour”
Its great the way you allow us to see how things unfolded for rhe Beatles. How one thing flowed into the other for them. It allows us to experience it as it really happened. We hardly ever get that perspective. Thank you.
Those of us who grew up between the 50s and the mid 70s we're the lucky generation. It was a period of relative economic stability when freedom of expression and of criticism of the system was permitted. Yeah, they were good day that are not coming back. The Beatles music was the backdrop to my entire childhood and it seems so natural. I remember when they come to Australia in 66, I was seven years old and the concert was held at Festival Hall. It was telecast on TV in black and white and I watched at my grand mother’s. Poor old Ringo was sick and did not make the trip.
Very nice stroll through early 1964. You mentioned that they travelled back to New York for the second Ed Sullivan show, but of course you now know that they performed live at the Deauville Hotel in Miami Beach for the second show, and that they were "live" on tape for the third show as they were back in the UK by then. One thing I wish you had included was how Richard Lester wanted a "big" opening number, and the result was the fabulous first chord on A Hard Day's Night. I've read about how they experimented with it, but would have loved to see that included in this video.
Everything's comes to an end 8 yrs of grueling concerts n recordings.They have a very successful solo careers The most succesful musical band of all time Thanks guys for giving us unforgettable music
He means drop-off in creative songwriting and originality due to multiple covers. No Reply and I'll Follow The Sun were written before it and 8 Days A Week is "the lone stand alone". Like I've said in other videos and posts, all you got to do is read Emerick's book to get the just of most of the album reviews perspective wise.
@ Hey, I just wanted to clarify what I meant about those songs like No Reply, I’m a Loser, and I Don’t Want to Spoil the Party. These tracks reflect a deeper intensity and introspection compared to much of their earlier work, with themes that touch on personal struggles, vulnerability, and even darker emotions like rejection and self doubt. That’s part of why they’re some of my favorite Beatles songs, they showcase a more nuanced side of their songwriting that feels authentic and raw. Also, no offense, but I think it’s kind of a slippery slope to base your opinion on music solely on what someone else like Geoff Emerick wrote in a book. While his perspective is interesting, it’s still just one guy’s opinion, and everyone brings their own biases to the table. Music is so personal, and I think forming your own connection to it is way more meaningful and authentic than relying too heavily on someone else’s take. Just my two cents!
@@stevegilmore2093 I agree, my point of bringing him up is that these videos are basically structured to fit that book's narrative in a lot of ways. I think he basically is using it to bridge a narrative so his personal bias can be left out. An example I can use off the top of my head if he does in fact do Beatles For Sale is Emerick called Mr. Moonlight the worst cover ever recorded or something to that extent. While I personally think it is in fact a piece of of shit tune, I know personally from their personalities it was meant to be a humorous endeavor so I can find enjoyment in listening to it because of how they sold it. There in lies the beauty of what they recorded, sometimes even they knew it sucked, but they could sell the phone book in 63-65 and the public would buy it anyway.
@@joepermenter7228 yeah, although I can’t fathom how you think “Mr.Moonlight” is a bad take , John’s vocals are incredible and it’s just a great song, beautiful written song.
@@stevegilmore2093 I like it(mainly because of John), it's just viewed as terrible by the majority of people who've heard that album. Trust me though, don't watch his For Sale video if you are hoping for a glorious review because in Here There and Everywhere it's described as awful.
1:18 Capitol didn’t need to sign the Beatles; Capitol was a subsidiary of EMI, whose label Parlophone, the Beatles were signed to. Capitol had been turning down Beatles singles for months.
So many great songs on AHDN, though some are often overlooked. Here's a Beatles tribute band playing Tell Me Why, never having seen it performed live their version has given me a new appreciation of it. Thanks for another great Beatles video!👍👍 th-cam.com/video/1e74aD2aM_k/w-d-xo.htmlsi=ggpPxgYH6VOesp0s
@@joepermenter7228 yes I know of the white album drumming and Ringo played drums on the album version of Love me do..but It's what drumming parts on the AHDN album Norman added,I'd like to know. Thanks though ..have a smashing weekend.

Nice thanks for that.

You have OCD?

Mate, whatever you did, you sound the best you've ever sounded. Nice, crisp highs and plenty of oomph in the low end. Nice mix. Well done.
Great job!!
I think Beatles for sale wasn’t their “downfall”, at all. You should do a video on the making of that album!

A great album. I personally prefer Help!, but this one is up there too
Brilliant!!
Beatles For Sale is a quality record that fits in well as a mile marker of their evolution.
This is the FIRST time I've ever heard that Norman Smith played Ringo's drum part on "Can't Buy Me Love".
My favourite album next to Revolver
hell yeah
1:18 Capitol didn’t need to sign the Beatles; Capitol was a subsidiary of EMI, whose label Parlophone, the Beatles were signed to. Capitol had been turning down Beatles singles for months.
“To the topermost of the popermost!” Boy, John sure wasn’t kidding.
2:45 The second live Sullivan show was broadcast from Florida, not NYC.
"Well, I just hope we alright, ya know ..."
Yeah - they did alright.

Not heard that one before..just how much drums did Norman Smith play on AHDN ?
Just read Geoff Emerick's book, basically every anecdote is lifted from it and inserted into these videos.
@@joepermenter7228 Can't you just tell me how much drumming did Norman Smith do?
@@strawman80 No, because I'm pretty sure it's just this and possibly love me do. Ringo played all his parts except those two songs to my knowledge.
White Album had Paul playing side one's first two songs as well.

Do Beatles For Sale/Help soon
9:57 everyone go check out that cover its reallly good
Wow, so it’s not Ringo on the recording of Can’t buy me love but Norman Smith 😮
John’s song “I call your name” was written before the Beatles formed so how could it have been written specifically for the film ?
Swell
"Ringoisms"
HARD DAYS NIGHT ISN'T THE BEATLES 1ST ALBUM
the band were always magnificent but brian epstein and george martin were indispensable to the formula
Ughhh. Billy speaking for Paul. I really hate that!

Ughhh...another lunatic.
