I think the message of this song is extremely important as well. It’s a warning against cancel culture and destroying our society rather than improving it.
Absolutely the best band ever ,. their music is so diverse . What they did in 10 years was incredible . After that they all had solo careers . John Lennon and Paul Mcartney the bands prolific song writers. One of my favorites from them is called IF I FELL . Also We Can Work It Out. Thanks for bringing these guys to your channel . PS . John Lennon was killed in the early 1980s by some mad stalker in New York . Thanks John
Actually, John was killed in December of 1980. He liked Ronald Reagan a lot. He met Reagan when the great Howard Cosell invited him to the booth for part of a Monday Night Football broadcast. After the game Howard was looking for John on the field when H saw "little Ronnie Reagan" showing him how to throw a spiral pass. John was in love with the USA. Cosell did a great interview of John in 72 in which John admitted "Paul was right" about the argument that ended The Beatles.
You cannot go wrong with the Beatles, whether early British Invasion breakout days, middle psychedelic period or the mature rock band going out on top, they will amaze and entertain. If you have not sampled their psychedelic period, try the official videos for A Day In the Life, All You Need Is Love and I Am the Walrus. Compelling both as groundbreaking songs and pioneering videos. You should also see the Yellow Submarine movie sometime, a timeless and priceless piece of animated artistry with a psychedelic soundtrack for the ages. Enjoy! 🎵🎸🎤🎹🎶
One of the things not often realized about the accomplishments of the Beatles is just how young they were still, after all that output. When the band broke up in 1970, not a one of them had reached his 30th birthday, though Ringo and John would later than year.
Days of my childhood. The culture, music and all, was so different in the early '60s. By 1970, when they split up, the world had changed. The Beatles revolutionised music and reflected the rapidly changing world around them.
Yes, Maggie, what Vic said below. The Beatles began pioneering the use of unusual instruments and sound effects during this period. They are worth every second of study.
One mistake in Wikipedia, and I've seen this one before - The Beatles weren't formed in 1960. They changed their name to The Beatles in 1960. The first incarnation formed in 1957. Literally, the only change that happened to them in 1960 was a name change.
The “White Album” version is a slower shuffle. That was how the song was written. I heard this version before I heard the album (in 1968 when I was 9 years old) so I prefer this version.
@@jnagarya519 From Wikipedia: "Although the single version was issued first, it was recorded several weeks after "Revolution 1", as a remake specifically intended for release as a single."
@@sourisvoleur4854 Yes. But the single version was the "B"-side of "Hey Jude," which was #1 for much of late Summer 1968. The "White Album" was released on November 22, 1968.
If I recall , the doo-wops were on the slower White Album version , not on this faster version which was the b-side to the Hey Jude single . They kinda added them here live like a mix of both versions . If that makes sense ? I know what I mean anyway
Correct. Revolution 1, from The Beatles/The White Album, had the doo-wops, while the single did not. This version was the promotional film for the single, basically a music video, and was not totally live - the vocals may have been, but the instrumentation wasn't.
Their producer and mentor was George Martin who was a genius with a lot of classical knowledge - his suggestions and ideas added so much to ideas and raw talent of the band
Im a Beatles fanatic. I got interested in music as a kid when my cousin played a Beatles album in my presence. I had never cared about music until then. I think it was their harmonies that first attracted me. They were also very innovative musicians.
That would be me. They weren't as great as history paints them. Early stuff was saccharin bubble gum pop but it came out at the right time where teenage girls lapped it up...some of their later stuff was better music, but frankly the Stones along with half a dozen other Brit groups were way better musicians.
At the very beginning, George leans to Paul to comment on John's microphone sound (direct recording to the board). "John''s mic is shit" is what he says.
Nice reaction! The doo-wops were indeed a bit of retro fun, and the distortion was deliberate. I'd love to hear your reaction to Eleanor Rigby but following the links, I see a blank screen that says 'only available to subscribed viewers' (or something like that) and no results from a general search. More Beatles reactions would be great. Check out A Day in the Life (with interesting use of a classical orchestra) and Tomorrow Never Knows (lyrics from the Tibetan Book of the Dead) and more musical innovation.
The Beatles ended up not touring because of Beatle mania . It was like 3 years in to their band . They only did studio music . They were too big . Couldn’t even hear themselves play . They did very few live recordings. Just recently they published old recordings from an un planned concert on the rooftop of their home offices. Peter Jackson produced the new footage.
The Beatles made at least 1 of every kind of rock n roll. They are the roots of every rock genre. from Helter Skelter leading to heavy metal and all that, to Changes, which led to a more pop like sound. The Beatles are the roots of every kind of rock n roll. Yellow Submarine is my fav Beatles album, and i could never pick just 1 song. Just pick 1 and enjoy
Exactly ! Very few bands would have the nerve to place Doo- Waps into a song during this period. The Beatles had nothing to prove at this point. They were fearless and wanted to have some fun with it.

The vocals were live (Sept.4th), but the instruments were a playback of the single (July 11th). Notice pianist Nicky Hopkins isn't onstage or ever shown during his electric piano solos.
Estimates vary depending on the source concerning the album sales by the Beatles. The accepted estimate is 800 million albums since 1962 but that estimate is at least 5 years old😮😊
Within you without you and love you to use mostly if only Indian instruments. The other ones use a mixture of European, American and Indian instruments.
You literally read off wiki that there were three versions. Then you say”there are other versions?” Haha. By the way,by the 70’s,they were all solo. The band split in 1970. They utterly owned the 60’s and beyond.
Small correction: this TV clip for the music shows back then is not a real live version. The microphones were open, some passages were sung live, but the instrumental part is complete playback, which is a little sad, a real live version would've been even more exciting, because on motivated days the Beatles could be a kick ass live-band. The half-playback studio version of "Hey Jude" was also recorded on the same day, this time with a lively studio audience, invited for the occasion.
The reason for this is that in the late 60s live TV sound technology was still lagging behind recorded sound technology, so bands playing live on TV didn't sound that great. Also, it was a huge pain to drag all your gear to a TV studio just for one song, so many bands at that time opted for lip-synching to their records. A complication arose when both the British and American musicians' unions banned their members from lip-synching on TV. To get around this rather silly ban, bands would sing live on to the instrumental track of their record being played back. Very common practice back then. However, unlike many current performers, the bands of the 60s never lip-synched in concert.
There was an electric piano track from the album added to thier live performance as thier albums progressed so did thier appearance they represented and reflectad societal change so much in so little time
things changed fast in the 1960's... from 1963 to 1968 is the chane you're talking about... that's one thing that makes the 60's so fascinating... the message behind the grunting is to have fun!
This version and clip is double tracked. Its the heavy version played with singing over it. This is why you hear the doo ups etc . The doo ups are on the original slow version from the white album. Lennon wanted it out as a single, but apart from the political angle they thought it was too slow, which angered Lennon even more , hence he went over the top heavy and loud as he was pissed off at their attitude towards this. In this clip they sing over the original heavy track and add the doo ups and you can see slip ups . In this version you get the count me out/in as Lennon sang over the original heavy version adding the in for the clip recording , saying that he really wasn't sure after thinking about how he felt so he said in just in case. I believe it was a tough day recording this tune , George never liked the heavy distortion on the guitars, and John couldn't get the attitude he was after, ending up laying on he's back on the floor to get the thats it take for the vocals for the song. It did come out as a single , as a B side on the back of Hey Jude ! They could of easily made double their money as they are both A sides , but Lennon wasn't getting his way alot at that time, so it played out like this . 2 versions on the white album, the very slow version and Revolution number 9 on the white album , then the heavy version as a b side to Hey Jude single. This is the only way to hear the song with a clip. Its my fav beatle songs and my first introduction as a kid to heavy guitars , which was a good thing for me to hear lol ! Cheers from down under 🤘😈🤘
Distortion is part of the "Hard Rock/Metal" sound. 1968 wasn't the end. You should listen to "Helter Skelter," 1st Metal song. The Beatles were very versatile!!
You haven't listened to a lot of rock, have you? Yes, grunting is part of the sound effects. The "Shoobie-Dos" weren't on the radio single but they were on the original slower version on the White Album - but I love them on this fast version!
The guitar George Harrison played on this vid has a very strange history: Her name is "Lucy". She is a refinished (gold top to burgundy) 1957 Gibson Les Paul Standard. With this guitar Eric Clapton played the famous solo on "While my guitar gently weeps" (as "Revolution 9" from the Beatles "The White Album", too). Clapton lend Harrison "Lucy" for the video shoot. Later, after having stolen Harrison's wife Pattie Boyd-Harrison from his best friend, Clapton gave Harrison "Lucy" as a 'compensation payment' for his wife. And both were considered the owners of that guitar. Even though Clapton stole Harrison's wife, they remained best friends for life! After George Harrison's death in 2001 the guitar was returned to EC. Worth of this guitar? Although it is 'only' a 1957 LP Standard and on top refinished (usually they punish such terrible crimes with the death penalty) and not a 'Burst' (1958-1960 Gibson Les Paul Standard in Cherry Sunburst, the Holy Grail of electric guitars) with this two previous owners definitively priceless!
I saw this the very first time it was broadcast on TV in 1968. it is the flip side of Hey Jude. they were singing to a backing track... notice there is an electric piano in this, who is playing that? the recording that's who.
I’m a singer/songwriter. After recording all day in LA my producer and I started singing Beatle songs. I had brought my daughter and after we finished she said, “The Beatles were so good it’s like it isn’t fair.”
I’ve always heard the distortion is on purpose because regular amps weren’t producing the sound they wanted, so they plugged directly into sound board. At the start of this video, if you read George Harrison’s lips, I think he says, “John’s mike s sucks.” This caused George to laugh.

I love your chat but I keep on missing the live ones
Introducing the world to hard rock. While it had been around for a while, many people in the mainstream had never heard heavy guitars like this.
And Helter Skelter!
I think the message of this song is extremely important as well. It’s a warning against cancel culture and destroying our society rather than improving it.
@@Great-Documentaries Deep Purple was hard rock-Hendrix was more psychedelic acid rock-there is a difference.

Paul used to joke about The Beatles' prowess as a live band. He'd say "We could lick anyone ... except for this one lady who played the spoons." 🤣

Beatles... from 63-69 accomplished more than all other bands combined, in their lifetimes.
Probably about the 80th best Beatles song
"The Beatles" allways had FUN. So the "doo-wop" is being FUNNY, SILLY.
I love the Doo-wops!
Exactly ! Very few bands would have the nerve to place Doo- Waps into a song during this period. The Beatles had nothing to prove at this point. They were fearless and wanted to have some fun with it.
It was from the original slow version on "The White Album."
Apparently John plugged his guitar directly into the mixing desk instead of the amplifier to get more distortion. This was 1968
The first single (with “Hey Jude”) on the band’s own Apple Records.
Hi from Montreal. All the tech stuff is working and looks great!!
"I Am The Walrus" is a very unique Beatles song
Goo Goo G'joob!
check out the cover by Jim Carey
'Very' unique ? No such thing.
You should check out their live renditions of Don't Let Me Down and Get Back that they performed on the roof of their Apple office building.
Imagine teenagers nationwide and in Europe etc dancing to this at their school dances and private parties for hours on end
They're the Beatles - they can do anything.
Helter Skelter is also worth a listen - started a whole new genre of music. Beatles led - others followed
The electric keyboard in the background is from famed studio keyboard player, Nicky Hopkins.

Within you without you and love you to use mostly if only Indian instruments. The other ones use a mixture of European, American and Indian instruments.
Also some songs like taxman use Zero Indian instruments but use chord structures inspired by Indian music.
The thing about these guys is that they never released B sides of singles. This for example was a double-A with Hey Jude. They were that good.
You literally read off wiki that there were three versions.

Greetings from Gillam Manitoba Canada 🇨🇦 😀
The information was wrong the original drummer was Peter Best who was replaced by Ringo Star.
I consider the Beatles the greatest rock band in history! 😎
We'd thought we had lost you, Fanny Annie.
Wikipedia mention R&B, the bands biggest influence?Idk for sure but I think the grunts were orgazmic. Lennon's subtle way of saying make love not war
You haven't listened to a lot of rock, have you? Yes, grunting is part of the sound effects. The "Shoobie-Dos" weren't on the radio single but they were on the original slower version on the White Album - but I love them on this fast version!
The grunting symbolizes the hard work that is required for a revolution.
You say the Beatles sounded " good"!!
They were and are GREATEST ROCK Band EVER!!!
When the album Hey Jude released in 1968 , they were into hippies oufit
There is no album titled Hey Jude. Hey Jude and Revolution were a double A sided single.
I have a friend who's a walking Beatles fact book.
Here's the mind blow......When they broke up in 1970, none of the 4 lads had yet reached 30 years of age.
The guitar George Harrison played on this vid has a very strange history:
Her name is "Lucy". She is a refinished (gold top to burgundy) 1957 Gibson Les Paul Standard. With this guitar Eric Clapton played the famous solo on "While my guitar gently weeps"
(as "Revolution 9" from the Beatles "The White Album", too). Clapton lend Harrison "Lucy" for the video shoot. Later, after having stolen Harrison's wife Pattie Boyd-Harrison from his best
friend, Clapton gave Harrison "Lucy" as a 'compensation payment' for his wife. And both were considered the owners of that guitar. Even though Clapton stole Harrison's wife, they remained
best friends for life! After George Harrison's death in 2001 the guitar was returned to EC. Worth of this guitar? Although it is 'only' a 1957 LP Standard and on top refinished (usually they
punish such terrible crimes with the death penalty) and not a 'Burst' (1958-1960 Gibson Les Paul Standard in Cherry Sunburst, the Holy Grail of electric guitars) with this two previous owners definitively priceless!
Greatest Pop n Rock band of all time!! 👍👍🎸🎸🎸🥁😎
that grunt was my dog.....he likes the Stones
A electric piano was dubbed in later in those middle bars.
I saw this the very first time it was broadcast on TV in 1968. it is the flip side of Hey Jude. they were singing to a backing track... notice there is an electric piano in this, who is playing that? the recording that's who.
I’m a singer/songwriter. After recording all day in LA my producer and I started singing Beatle songs. I had brought my daughter and after we finished she said, “The Beatles were so good it’s like it isn’t fair.”
I’ve always heard the distortion is on purpose because regular amps weren’t producing the sound they wanted, so they plugged directly into sound board. At the start of this video, if you read George Harrison’s lips, I think he says, “John’s mike s sucks.” This caused George to laugh.
Later in New York's arena, he wants to be counted in. It's online.
Young lady - I saw this when it first came out.
Yes! Big fan 👍🎸🎸🎸🥁😎
Though not in my personal top ten I still believe the Beatles are the most important and best band in history.
