@@vascoernesto78 Indeed! Sir George Martin AND sound Engineer Geoff Emerick (I've terribly misspelled his last name!) played a gigantic part in the music of THE BEATLES!!!

It’s different and good, but I like the album version with Spector’s strings and vocals better. But this is certainly a more garage 60’s version I was craving!

I wish they'd worked up a tight band version for the rooftop with Billy on keys. I like the wah guitar, and the Chuck Berry rhythm on the first verse is an interesting idea too.
So incredible how this early version is so rock n roll and classic wonky beatles, and interestingly the time is kind of irregular, the electric guitars and all feel like something they'd add later on the evolution of the song... but it's very interesting to think it evolved into something more minimal but SO much more atmospheric and timelessly beautiful. Or maybe I'm wrong or this is just them jamming on the chord progression.
It was recorded after the version we all know (saved from the trash by Spector, sped up, put strings on it). John wasn't happy with this version and wanted to rework it for the get back sessions.
@@SirCommoner Yeah it happens all the time with John. You love one of his songs and you'll always find an interview in which he dismisses it (production, lyrics or even the composition). But well we're talking about a guy who notoriously didn't like his own voice, I mean WTF John
So cool to hear how it might have been. This always felt like a song that never quite was. Over-produced, over-sentimentalized, over-reverbed thanks Phil. But here you can hear the good bones of it. They could have done a real slow-burn rocker on this.
@Ronaldo Laquidara No, I knew the owner of the record store. I don't know where he got the bootleg albums from and I wasn't going to ask. Back then you kept your mouth shut and just paid for it.
Check out the version done by Rufus Wainwright, Moby and Sean Lennon (John's son). It has nice harmonies like this but with the mood of the album version.
Across The Universe was originally recorded in February ‘68 along with Hey Bulldog and Lady Madonna in the final session before going to India. It was considered as a single but Lady Madonna was chosen instead,
@@BigSky1 song would have probably gone on the white album if it hadn't been set aside for the wwf charity thing in 68. Also it seems that phil spector and the group ditched this live '69 recording and just did a remix of the original GM recording(s) for the 'Let it be' film/LP
I don't know if I would call this a serious version more a run thru than anything else, if they were to release it thou I would as Kewkabe mentioned get rid of Yoko and her interruption.
I agree, they may have started the game seriously, but it quickly dissolves into an extremely weird and rough run through! I love the acoustic version on LET IT BE NAKED sooooo much more!
I’m so sad the harmonies aren’t in ANY of the final versions. I’m like actually sad I think the song would be better considerably. Not saying it’s bad but dear lordddddd the jai guru deva harmony and second verse is just 🤌🤌🤌
@@evanwolf6618 Maybe she didn’t do it all by herself,but she certainly contributed to it in a BIG way. I have my own theory on what ultimately broke them up and it’s not the usual version of Brian’s death or George feeling unappreciated.
@@Vingul I don’’t know as I want to say…I’m pretty sure a lot of narrow minded people would disagree with it;but it is NOTHING to do with the idiotic PID theories. I will just say that John and Paul being the head writers and co-founders of the Beatles when their relationship went phttttt, so did the Beatles. There has to be another reason besides Brian’s death and Geo feeling under appreciated that they broke up when other groups like the Stones have stayed together. JMO, though.😎
across the Universe... did you know that not only can we not see any borders when we look at our lovely Planet from space... the reverse is also true.. and... we.. each person.... here... there... and everywhere... mathematically speaking, in an infinite Universe... are in the exact center... which may be why those blighters act like that 🤔 it's ok.. they have been thinking this same thing.. about you. so let it go... it's going to be OK... pretty much whether we like it... or not Peace y'all.. please

Sometimes when the band is learning a song a drummer will stay on the high hat because it's a bit quieter and you can hear what's going on better when you're learning it
Because he's doing his art but he's paying attention at the same time !!!once he knows the song then he becomes Ringo and plays it better than anyone on Earth..
What a day we live in where new Beatles material gets posted all the time. Red Hector - you're a godsend.

Paul’s harmony for “Jai guru deva” was great. Wish they kept it in the final version
I definitely agree with you
i always liked the harmony to.
Feels more like a beatles song
Also Agee great version 👍
This was recorded after the "finaL" version.
Beatles throwaway rehearsal tapes are 100% better than any music produced today.
I love to hear all the versions! This sounds like it's in my living room, listening to the boys jam...
I do too. It’s like they’re still with us and anyway, their music always will be. True class, so sad but they live on forever.
Yes their voices were perfect together
The picture of John and Paul is everything

Beatles rehearsals are amazing for all kinds of reasons. I love them.

I love the Beatles rough rehearsal and demo recordings as much as the finished album versions. They are amazing on both levels.

They were and always will be the Mozart and Beethoven of our times
Words are flowing out like endless rain into a paper cup
They slither wildly as they slip away across the universe
Pools of sorrow, waves of joy are drifting through my opened mind
Possessing and caressing me
Jai guru deva, om
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Images of broken light which dance before me like a million eyes
They call me on and on across the universe
Thoughts meander like a restless wind inside a letterbox they
They tumble blindly as they make their way across the universe
Jai guru deva, om
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Sounds of laughter shades of life are ringing
Through my open ears inciting and inviting me
Limitless undying love which shines around me like a million suns
It calls me on and on across the universe
Jai guru deva, om
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world

It certainly does sound like they're in my soundproof basement
この曲、シングルレコードの候補に上がっていたとか。ま、ビートルズは、どの曲もヒットするから、あんまり関係ないか。松尾芭蕉の俳句をヒントにジョンが作った傑作。サージェント以降、ポールマッカートニーの曲が多くなったが、ジョンは作品が減ったとはいえ、一つ一つの曲が斬新で、甘ったるいポップな曲がない。
Yes, I understand.
Great stuff, think you've got the description slightly wrong though, the song wasn't released until it was on a charity compilation later in 1969
