Was...was someone not plugged in? Was George not plugged in? Was the gain turned down on John too? It seems the audio was very....thin, as if someone at master control was drunk, or wiring was bad.
I tried to run a campaign to remove the "dislike" button from all the Beatles songs, but I failed. But please don't get mad at me: Justin Bieber ran a counter-campaign against my idea, and then pressed 7 times the button "dislike" of this music...
Too bad that they are not here, now... by the way, I tried to run a campaign to remove the "dislike" button from all the beatles songs, but I failed...(understand me! Justin Bieber was running a counter-campaign against my idea!!!)
The Beatles were more than musicians - they were prophets. Search "Truth Contest" in Google and click the 1st result, then open The Present and read the section about The Beatles, and you will see what I mean.
Lennon had a vision of a man on a flaming pie who suggested the name " beatle." I don't like the truth contest but, I would be grateful of other prophet aspects of the Beatles.
George Harrison was no virtuoso at this point. Are you kidding me? Paul would tell him to step aside in the studio because he'd sit there for hours trying to get his parts right and Paul would just play them himself.
theoffspringguy Case in point: Paul played the lead guitar on George Harrison's song taxman because George was having problems for some reason. McCartney nailed it in the first take!
Lennon´s music will age better than McCartney´s, because Lennon´s compositions have more pain and heaviness, and besides that, are more innovative. McCartney has often conventional and “vertical” melodies, and Lennon has both vertical and “horizontal” melodies”. The greatness of John Lennon´s music as i see it: -His increasing tension. For example I Should Have Known Better. Before Lennon, all pop music structure was AABA, where the tension decreased in the middle part B. But with Lennon the tension from the verse continued in the middle part. Besides that, in this song it is not only a key change in the transition to the middle part, it is even a little key change in it. The increasing tension was what first characterized The Beatles. The first single where the verse lacked this increasing tension was the vers melody in Can´t Buy Me Love. - Other ways of increase the tension by Lennon is to pack together several little songs. Happiness Is A Warm Gun consists of three or four songs, and Bring On The Lucie consists of three songs. -All You Need Is Love has another way: First talking, then repeating half singing, then singing, and finally the climax in chorus. -The melody does not changes, but the chords in the background. For example in Strawberry Fields Forever and in Julia the singing melody uses the same notes, but instead the accompaniment changes! Listen to Puccini. He got tired of his sang melodies in Boheme and in Tosca he composed a lot where the sang melodies are often on the same notes, but the background changes instead. The effect can be stronger. -Octave Leap. For example, in the middle part of Please Please Me, Lennon makes an octave run in “…it´s so hard to reason with YOU…”, the climax of the song. George Martin didn´t understand the quality in that. In his orchestration of it in Off The Beatle Track, Martin excludes the octave, the most important bit of the song! -Verse and resolve. Typical for Lennon is a melody followed by a resolve, for example in No Reply “…I saw the light!”…and in Girl “giiirl! giiirl!…”. Lennon said that “a good song must have climax and resolve”. -Only one chord. In Tomorrow Never Knows there is only one chord, or bass note, an innovation in pop music. In the Middle Ages it was common with that bordun note, an unchanged bass note. When Lennon played the song the first time for George Martin, Martin didn´t like it. -Whole-tone scale. Most scales have both whole step and half steps between the notes in an octave. In the verse in Norwegian Wood, there is most whole steps, and that´s like the impressionists, for example Debussy. It sounds very “clean”. -Church Modes. A Hard Day´s Night is written in the “mixolydian mode”, an ancient vocal scale, preserved in British, Irish and American folk song. -If you play the beginning of Please Please Me very fast, you can hear the similarities with the Westminster bells ringing. When Lennon was a little boy, he loved visiting the divine services. Afterwards he used to improvise anthem music. Westminster bells could unconsciously have inspired him to the beginning of Please Please Me. There is also anthem music in the beginning of All You Need Is Love: “love love love…”. -The lamentation second. A little half step up in the scale. And that´s to indicate a pain. In All You Need Is Love Lennon sings the refrain twice unchanged and then suddenly the third time, rises a little, a very expressive and important step up. That step up started in the baroque epoch, and was called The lamentation second. When Lennon played it the first time to George Martin, Martin didn´t understand it. He leaned towards McCartney and muttered: “It´s certainly repetitive”. -From darkness to light. Happiness Is a Warm Gun starts with a little melancholy, and ends with enthusiasm.-In the middle part of I Am The Walrus the darkness switches over to light: “sitting in an English garden…”. And the transition from the chaos and darkness in Revolution 9 to the light in Good Night. That is very typical in Wagner´s music. I think that temperamentally the two were similar. And I think Wagner would have loved the arrangement in Glass Onion. -Suggestive and hypnotic music. With small intervals between the notes in combination with some dissonance chord, Lennon can create a suggestive and hypnotic feeling in for example Across The Universe. It is more like Wagner than pop music. -Few notes. With few, but effective notes, Lennon can create more feeling than McCartney with all his notes, for example in If I Fell and Love. -A melody sang three times, in succession, with just a little change every time. When you hear it you can get frustrated or desperate not getting out from the melody. That we have in the middle part in I Call Your Name and in the middle part in And Your Bird Can Sing. And at the same time the melodies are stick together with a countermelody at the guitar. Rather hypnotic -Melodies without joint. An innovation. When repeating the verse melody in Any Time At All, the first note is the same note as the last note in the first verse: “…there is nothing I won´t DO if need a shoulder to cry on…” -The accompaniment doesn´t follow the vocal line. In the middle part of Hey Bulldog, the piano doesn´t follow the singer. An innovation in pop music. (The first one was Schumann in his songs). It´s a marvelous bit of beautiful piano music, but the recording isn´t good here, the piano is difficult to hear. That bit is much better heard in a demo! -The first rap song. The talking in the end of Hey Bulldog. --The screaming, ending Hey Bulldog. In combination with the repeating melody in the guitarplaying in the background as if nothing has happened -- that is great hypnotic music. -The most excellent and lovely melodies: The middle part of Bad to Me, the middle part of This Boy, the middle part of Yes it Is and the middle part of Nobody Loves You.
Hey, I think you're right. Listen close at 1:27 and you can hear his ring tone. I think it's the Theme from Scooby Doo. Is John using a digital delay run through a Mac laptop. By jove, I think he is. Probably a harmonizer to double those poor harmonies they always put out.
@TheMJtheGOD Michael Jackson is a good singers and dancer but The Beatles are very very very 10000000times better !!!!! PS: 7 peoples dont know what is the real music !
In the universe of music, there are The Beatles... and then, there is everything else...
This is the best quality video I've seen from the 1964 Washington concert.
The whole concert was 12 songs lasting 40 minutes! And I'd rather watch this than most of the stuff put out since!
What a good song!!I love that!!Thanks for you to post it for us!!
this is my fave beatles song....with a fave ryme:"i do all the pleasin with you its so hard to reason with you"
Love watching Ringo beat the snot outta those drums!! He had to play hard and loud to be heard, though the band was pretty well rehearsed.
guitar's sound is good!!
this song make me moving on my chair!
toujours aussi émouvant , toute notre jeunesse
Watched Jimmy Fallon interviewing Keith Richards. The question was "what's your favorite Beatle's song?" Without even pausing he said "Please Please Me" and sung a little of it.

los mas grandes de todos los tiempos. "los beatles " no existen otros.
Was...was someone not plugged in? Was George not plugged in? Was the gain turned down on John too? It seems the audio was very....thin, as if someone at master control was drunk, or wiring was bad.
I can hear The Beatles instead of the girls it's a miracle hahaha
sigh i wished i had been born in the fifties, or sixties.. sigh, lol, cut back about 40years.
Is it George playing the lead riff before "Come on"?
I tried to run a campaign to remove the "dislike" button from all the Beatles songs, but I failed.
But please don't get mad at me: Justin Bieber ran a counter-campaign against my idea, and then pressed 7 times the button "dislike" of this music...
P L E A S E. PLEASE. ME !
You think YOU have trouble hearing it, that's a major reason why they stopped playing live ...
I wasn't referring to "cover" as cover band...but cover up...the out of tune was covered up nicely by George of course...(-_-)
Check out the boy 1:29, looking so serious, is it deep appreciation , I hope so
pi55ed off of getting his shoulders smacked regularly. by THAT girl behind.
George gets out of tune at 1:30 to 1:33...lol cute...but nice cover.5 stars!!!
Too bad that they are not here, now...
by the way, I tried to run a campaign to remove the "dislike" button from all the beatles songs, but I failed...(understand me! Justin Bieber was running a counter-campaign against my idea!!!)

yeah, can't hardly hear paul and george.

much better sound on the anthology..there you can hear the guitars
