This video is nearly as long as Oppenheimer, for Christ's sake! But Revolver deserved it-all those hours and those sleepless nights were worth it to make this wonderful, giant monstruosity of a documentary. I'm very happy with how it turned out, and I hope you all love it too. Please don't forget to like and comment to help us with TH-cam's algorithm. Oh, and if possible, write us some nice comments, will ya? We could use that extra love. Stay tuned-the next one shall be about _Rubber Soul!_ Peace and love, and stay clean. - Gus
The world needs more of these! Most of us have seen the Beatles Anthology but it's not nearly enough especially with so much material available now on the internet. I hope you keep expanding this as HUGE playlist of all you have done chronologically. Keep up the good work
Hopefully they are making an announcement remix of rubber soul by then!! @Gus did you create the website as I’ve been going there for close to a decade I feel. So thank you!!
Great video ...I'm sure you've read ' Revolution in the head 'as a musician I loved the detail but you clearly love the scousers ...their jump from love me do to revolver was exponential.
Gotta think of those three albums as the evolution of their sound and the expansion of their minds. The trilogy stands together with three very individual pieces. So I value them in that way. Each amazing stride is phenomenal and genre defining. I prefer Rubber Soul and Revolver though lol
I think a lot of why Paul’s favorite tune of his is “Here, There, and Everywhere” might be because John made such a fuss over how much he loved it. I know Paul must cherish that memory of John telling him so in the hotel room, but John mentioned it many times in interviews after the Beatles split up…when things weren’t so good between he and Paul…I think after all the pain of what happened between Paul and his best friend, and adding the absolute horror of John’s sudden death - that song generated a simple, but sweet memory that Paul holds dear, and that stands out to him amongst all the others. Knowing all of that, it’s not difficult to understand why Paul might love that one little tune of his that much more than all of the other masterpieces in his catalog. What a beautiful daydream that song must bring to Paul❤ Dang…I just dove straight into McLennon-ville, didn’t I? 🤣🤣🤣 Anyway, @BeatlesBible1 - phenomenal job on a documentary of probably my favorite Beatles album (if it’s possible for me to have a favorite.) I absolutely enjoyed every minute of it! Much love - Toni from Alabama ❤️🐘
Paul McCartney has been one of the most famous men in the world for about 60 years,and there's never been a bad story about him, guys a musical prodigee and all around decent fella
@@PaulFormentos People still don’t see it, and yet they call us names. I could stoop to that level too but I won’t bc I know the truth. Filming Strawberry Fields was very difficult for John especially.
I love how this video places Revolver in the context of the time when it was recorded. I feel it really enriches listening to the album in its entirety. Revolver was a stroke of genius that sparked the genesis of future albums, both theirs and other artists.
Aged 7, alone in a big house, bored with my kiddie's vinyl, I started flipping through my parent's section. The cover drew me in, I sat on the floor listening ever more intensely. By the time "Tomorrow Never Knows" kicked in, I fell over backwards, virtually knocked out. I hardly spoke for days afterwards, processing what music could be and do... needless to say, no other track or even album has ever brought me close to that experience, but some of that Beatles-stuff is pretty good... 😄👍
Amazing to hear how much of the creative process is like a stroll through a flea market or junk yard picking up this or that…discarding something after trying it out and at the end having…IT🎭
I bought "Revolver" when it was first released in the U.S.A. I was then a teenage musician playing in a band that covered some of the tracks from this album. I recently saw The Beatles perform their penultimate concert at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles. This video brought back so many great memories of those days from long ago. Thank you! Bravo! Well done!
That's awesome! I love personal Beatles stories as everyone has them....but especially from back in their actual day. My mom was at Shea Stadium '65 for her 14th bday!
@@BeatlesBible1 There is an interview here on TH-cam "Anthony Baray interview..." (hopefully unedited)where the podcaster and I chat about growing up in the 1960s playing music in our part of Los Angeles and how The Beatles hugely influenced many aspects of our lives.
@@TupDigital My old landlord told me he was at that show too. He got so animated when recounting it. Watching that helicopter land and all the people screaming at the top of their lungs was the most exciting thing he ever saw, he told me. 😮
The official narrative about 4 lads from Liverpool becoming the greatest songwriters in the world in just a few short years is just that, a story. Lots of cool pictures though, I was and still am a big Beatles fan. They are the reason I play guitar.
A quick note: there are not one but *two* fuzz guitars on "Love You To"--one fuzz, and one fuzz with a tone bender applied. They were buried in the original mix and hardly anyone realizes they were even there, but the remixed versions and outtakes on the "Revolver" box set give them much more prominence. Once you can hear them, it turns the song from a straight-up Indian thing to a really heavy acid rock performance. This is one of the most adventurous songs on the album, eclipsed only by "Tomorrow Never Knows".
Our mum bought our dad Sgt Pepper and my twin brother and I took command of that LP. But as an adult, I came to grow into Revolver being their best work, but that came decades later, because when you're 5 yo, you get branded pretty deeply. Then Dad recorded a copy of Abbey Road and that became our fav as I taught myself how to play the Blues on guitar by dropping the needle on She's So Heavy when I were about 8 years old. Then my first LP of my own was Let It Be and my twin brother (drums) and me shed that record. We both get emotional when we hear I've Got a Feeling. His band covers Get Back which he sings on. But for sure, Revolver is my ultimate jam now. Tomorrow Never Knows is my all-time fav track of theirs.
I thought I’d watch a bit of this last night, but I watched it all and I’m going to watch it again! I’m also sharing it in some groups. This is extremely well done. It’s not just another documentary, it’s far above anything else I’ve seen. Thank you for your hard work. You did a phenomenal job!
Amazing work everybody who is a Beatles fan should see it I recommanded it to many friends...Well done, so informative, with people that were there not just jounalists that try to figure out what was happening. I can't explain how refreshing this documentary was to watch. Thank you for sharing such a masterpiece....
All credit to you guys for delving deep into this masterpiece. Among other things I was not aware of how great a lead guitarist and all round musician Paul was. Keep up the good work chaps!
Did you notice that at 1:02:30 the narrators voice changes? Edit:It goes from a foreign type accent to an American accent.Possibly A.I.? I just thought it was a bit odd for it to change bang in the middle of the documentary
Excellent Documentary, for Beatles sake! BEATLES 4-EVER! The greatest Rock band of all time, and the creators of Progressive Rock with this album! Thank you oh so much and many muffins and scones. Peace!
Ever since I knew The Beatles I was intrigued by 1966. That’s when their music changed and their hair was longer they rebel from Brian Epstein.The music had changed as well. Paperback Writer and Rain was a game changer. The bass on Paperback and the backwards slowed down on Rain was astonishing.Then Revolver was released and wow. The first album I ever bought was Revolver on CD I was 10 years old. I’m 40 now and I still have it😊
This came on via an algorithm and I spent the whole afternoon watching it, not realizing almost 3 hours had gone by...which shows how fascinating it is. One question from the start was, why were they referring to "Taxman" as George's first song, and he hadn't proven himself, yet? Hadn't he already written and recorded "Don't Bother Me", "If I Needed Someone" and "Think for Yourself"...all brilliant songs and so true to his unique and influential style??
Revolver is a masterpiece. Not the biggest Yellow Submarine fan but other than that, stellar from top to bottom. Rubber Soul through Magical Mystery Tour was their creative peak.
The White Album, some would say, extended their 'creature peak', And hey, Abbey Road. For gods sake. And then all the solo offerings; every Beatle, even Ringo, seemed to have a vault of material!!
Rubber Soul and Revolver had been their best albums...by far! And i will say thank you for creating such good, outstanding and excitening documentarys !! After listening and loving for over 30 years the beatles i still learn a lot here!!!
Fascinating insight into the making of a classic. It confirms that creativity is a process of discovery and inspiration. It can't be bottled or mass produced.
Yeah, I always equate Revolver to the Banana album. Bold, pioneering albums made by Masters of their craft. Every song is a revelation. They changed music forever.
@@ArchStanton19966 Music is subjective but to say any of those 2 albums did not pioneer and break new ground for future genres would be a bold faced lie.
@@princebond True but that band and that album are overrated. I think there are as many people who say how great it is as there are people who think it's nothing special. What's so groundbreaking about it? It influenced people to start bands that would bore the hell out of listeners. I would say Zappa's debut album is way more influential and groundbreaking than that album. Are You Experinced would be another.
@@BeatlesBible1 I always felt they should have included the singles on their albums, but I don’t know if that would take away from other great songs we may never had a chance to hear on an album.
@@rickp3753 I almost brought this up. It’s a great what if. If both albums included the singles, I don’t think I could choose one over the other. I would consider them equal. Maybe REVOLVER would have a slight edge, but SGT PEPPER was the one I probably have listened to more than any other BEATLES record.
This was a truly outstanding production, hands down the BEST video I have ever seen on this time period in the Beatles career. Revolver has always been a massive influence over the course of my life because in some ways (my opinion,) it's more enjoyable at times than Pepper can be. But watching this video really helped me to put the music with the times that they Beatles were living in and what made the tracks come to life. Thank you for this gift you have given to the world, a great production for a great band!
I was a Top 40 Radio deejay on my first gig in Long Beach, near Los Angeles, California, when this album was recorded, and I was awestruck by their double-sided hit single RAIN/PAPERBACK WRITER. Then in the summer when the album was released I was mesmerized. Me faves at that time were Beatles, Stones, DC5, Beach Boys, Supremes, and The Ventures. And a new band called Frank Zappa and the Mothers of Invention, and The West Coast Pop Art Experimental Band. Great music, Good times!
This was a very edifying piece. It obviously gave a pertinent and satisfying account of the Beatles rapid progress. In my recollection, Revolver quickly followed Rubber Soul, and that, in itself, constituted a deep new wrinkle in their music.
Absolutely true! 1966 burned out Dylan, the Stones, and the Beach Boys, and 2/3 of the creative Beatles (Lennon and Harrison) - McCartney saved the day.
it is a sad and sinking feeling when you're in a band and try to introduce one of your own songs and instantly you can tell that the guys are really not interested in working on it, it makes just want to pack up and leave
Outstanding work. Always a pleasure when a DieHard Beatles Fan such as myself learns something new! (That's PAUL'S guitar solo on Taxman?!? WOW!!!) Thank you for your labor of love!
it was this record made me a true fan, i liked Animals Stone Kinks and Who more, the early stuff was great but this album opened a seam in reality that you could step thru and be part of, a little bit with Rubber Soul, but this one was it
All masterpieces. But this is not the only album where they pulled it off. How can one pick a "best" or favorite with so much greatness to choose from?
(bp) a masterpiece of scholarship and a fan's love. those rare photos (eg. paul in his backyard with guitar taken by brother mike, paul with girlfriend dot rhone) described but not seen in mark lewisohn's magesterial Tune In Volume 1 (which i've just re-read for the 4th time) are a pleasure to finally behold. what a treasure. i'm exhausted after watching this straight through. like Odysseus must have felt reaching Ithica. a big thumbs up.
Totally enjoying this. So detailed, and we thank you for such an amazing effort. I did wonder about one thing... For No One is in 4/4 I think? Not a waltz, in any case. Such a great and haunting song.
Another interesting thing about Yellow Submarine is that Donovan was working on his song “Mellow Yellow” around the same time and the background “party” voices on that song are the same people who appear in Yellow Submarine’s background.
'I Want to Tell You' might be the best song on the record. The guitar riff is incredible, the piano is incredible, the vocals are incredible, the lyrics are incredible. Could be the best song.
Revolver is their complete, most innovative, most groundbreaking album by far. I’ve always much preferred it and Rubber Soul, The White Album and Let it Be to SPLHCB
This album was the Beatle's finest work. Every song was a banger. 'Pepper's" was also innovative and interesting but far too fragmented for me to enjoy end-to-end. "Revolver" was fresh and crisp from start to end.
I believe that it’s their best- I got this album 😮 at age 12 and listened to it almost every night before going to sleep 🛌 having started playing Guitar at age 10’
Creativity is such a complex process and phenomenon. Where do the ideas come from? Who or what contributes to and inspires them? Who is "the Owner" of the result? When you dive deep into it, creativity reveals itself as a collective teamwork and effort which has no beginning and no ending and thus no "ownership".
I'm only 2 songs into this so far. I do believe Pete Shoddon had the inspiration for the grave bit at the end. I also believe George contributed to the "ah look at all the lonely people" part. John may have contributed a line or two (not 70%). I also think Paul gave the 'stabbing strings' instruction. Definitely not a Paul-only composition. Fascinating.

I'm not a huge Beatles fan, but you have to admire their astronomical creativity so thanks for getting into the nitty gritty, really appreciated!
I suppose they both blew up the world in their own way
Great video ...I'm sure you've read ' Revolution in the head 'as a musician I loved the detail but you clearly love the scousers ...their jump from love me do to revolver was exponential.
Who thinks Revolver is better than Pepper, I do.
Sgt is very uneven while Revolver is complete masterpiece (prefer Rubber, though)
That is a very good question. I like more songs on Revolver than Pepper, so I would agree.
@@piotrq7150 me too, Rubber Soul is their magnum opus IMO. Revolver and Abbey road right behind it, and maybe Sgt Pepper after.
I do too, but Pepper is a masterpiece.
Gotta think of those three albums as the evolution of their sound and the expansion of their minds. The trilogy stands together with three very individual pieces. So I value them in that way. Each amazing stride is phenomenal and genre defining. I prefer Rubber Soul and Revolver though lol

To say Paul didn't help on Taxman is a understatement. Paul's bass part and guitar solo are some of the main parts in Taxman
"People" are dumbasses. Full stop.
He helped with the recording, yes, just not the songwriting.
Incredible bass!! Isn’t that when they tried moving the mic?

Revolver is a masterpiece. Not the biggest Yellow Submarine fan but other than that, stellar from top to bottom. Rubber Soul through Magical Mystery Tour was their creative peak.
The White Album, some would say, extended their 'creature peak', And hey, Abbey Road. For gods sake. And then all the solo offerings; every Beatle, even Ringo, seemed to have a vault of material!!
So Abbey Road and Let It Be lacked creativity?
Utter foolishness.

I loved hearing the "He said, he said" about "She Said She Said" with Lennon's version of the story set against Fonda's.
she's making me feel like i've never seen porn
Very well might have been their last album if Paul didn't take the reins- let alone in such a massively brilliant way!
Absolutely true! 1966 burned out Dylan, the Stones, and the Beach Boys, and 2/3 of the creative Beatles (Lennon and Harrison) - McCartney saved the day.
Paul died in 66 read his book memoirs of Billy shears it’s on his web site for sale !
Mccartney did not die.And Billy Shears is a fictitious character. Or is this a wind up?@@garyhillman4993

Yeah I agree ..there was no fat on rubber soul and it stank of ganga...the tokeing noises on Girl...lol
it is a sad and sinking feeling when you're in a band and try to introduce one of your own songs and instantly you can tell that the guys are really not interested in working on it, it makes just want to pack up and leave

All masterpieces. But this is not the only album where they pulled it off. How can one pick a "best" or favorite with so much greatness to choose from?

Well done! No great new revelations, but very well put together.
Settling in and pressing play. MY FAVORITE Beatles album.... close to my heart and an in depth look? I'm ready!
Hands down one of the greastest, most important and most influential albums ever released in any era or time period
This video is really good, nothing much I can say about it. It’s really different from your other videos. Thank you for your hard work❤
Very good stuff !!!! thanks a lot
Really great, Thanks!
Thank you for the support!
Totally enjoying this. So detailed, and we thank you for such an amazing effort.
I did wonder about one thing... For No One is in 4/4 I think? Not a waltz, in any case. Such a great and haunting song.
Another interesting thing about Yellow Submarine is that Donovan was working on his song “Mellow Yellow” around the same time and the background “party” voices on that song are the same people who appear in Yellow Submarine’s background.
... thank you for uploading. I'm a Clean Machine.
That's Great!!!
Revolver is the greatest album ever.
The story on Rigby is fascinating. The lyrics and the music are simply brilliant.
Yeah but he missed that Rigby is one of the first PID songs
@@PaulFormentos I thought Paul wrote at least part of it…
Long enough to feel like I was living it, yet so short I was sorry to find myself leaving it.
'I Want to Tell You' might be the best song on the record. The guitar riff is incredible, the piano is incredible, the vocals are incredible, the lyrics are incredible. Could be the best song.
Revolver is their complete, most innovative, most groundbreaking album by far. I’ve always much preferred it and Rubber Soul, The White Album and Let it Be to SPLHCB
What a great weekend what a awesome video have a great weekend also happy last day of summer also happy first day of fall ❤😊
Great and interesting. The 3 hours just flew by. Very good.
This album was the Beatle's finest work. Every song was a banger. 'Pepper's" was also innovative and interesting but far too fragmented for me to enjoy end-to-end. "Revolver" was fresh and crisp from start to end.
REVOLVER. Their best album, period.
Congratulations on this GLORIOUS work
Ifyou do this for all the Beatle albums, you would be GODs among us!!!
I believe that it’s their best- I got this album 😮 at age 12 and listened to it almost every night before going to sleep 🛌 having started playing Guitar at age 10’
The Beatles. The great band of the world.
Creativity is such a complex process and phenomenon. Where do the ideas come from? Who or what contributes to and inspires them? Who is "the Owner" of the result? When you dive deep into it, creativity reveals itself as a collective teamwork and effort which has no beginning and no ending and thus no "ownership".
caralhoo vcs sao brasileiro n fazia ideia
Somos sim, dois brasileiros e um brasilo-estadunidense! 🇧🇷
I'm only 2 songs into this so far. I do believe Pete Shoddon had the inspiration for the grave bit at the end. I also believe George contributed to the "ah look at all the lonely people" part. John may have contributed a line or two (not 70%). I also think Paul gave the 'stabbing strings' instruction. Definitely not a Paul-only composition. Fascinating.
I really enjoyed that. 👍🏻
Revolver my favourite Beatles album too,then the 'white' album (most of it). Taxman - awesome, Tomorrow Never Knows - mind blowing!
Dark side of the moon is probably the best selling album of all time!!!😂😂😂
Very Interesting and inspiring.
Harrison should have gotten credit for Norwegian Wood simply for the sitar. Without it is just another folk song. And the list goes on.
Funny how Paul never once spoke about his 'significant' input on John's songs while John was alive.
It’s a different kind of Paul… 😉
Great presentation of information. Do you have a list of sources you used? I'm interested in checking them out.
