He's not "the drummer." He's Ringo -- the most famous drummer in history! And "the guy in blue" is the most successful songwriter in history -- Paul McCartney.
Look on the record labels dufus. Lennon/mccartney. All of pauls solo 💩 is just that. Bubble gum music, paul was stuck in the 60’s mode. He was not a word smith like his partner.
@@Brandi6666You've got to be kidding. Sir Paul, on his own, was the most prolific songwriter of the 20th century and still going strong in the 21st. The order of names is pretty insignificant. No disrespect to John's brilliance.
Ringo is miming on a childs drum kit. Never - never - refer to Ringo Starr as "The Drummer" again. If you don't know him you shouldn't react to Beatles music again until you do. Wait. No. Just don't react to them again. You don't know enough. You actually mentioned Coldplay within the same half hour of the Beatles. They couldn't shine the Beatles boots.
That's why some people doesn't like beatles fans. Because when you are still learning about them, there's people who treat you like you should be born knowing them already from your first second alive. Jeez man, give him a break and let him learn about the beatles calmly!
It's funny that you said The Beatles can take one lyric, repeat it and make it into a song sensation. Yes, yes they could. Who else could sing "Naa na na nananana, nananana, hey Jude" for over four minutes and turn it into a monster hit?
The Beatles produced three promotional films for the song "Hello, Goodbye". The first one shows the Beatles dressed in their Sgt. Pepper uniforms. This song is from the Beatles 1967 album "Magical Mystery Tour". Lots of other great songs on it including the title track "Magical Mystery Tour", "The Fool On The Hill", "I Am the Walrus", "Blue Jay Way", "Your Mother Should Know", "Flying" etc.
@@B.R.0101 - MMT was released as a full album in the U.S. on November 27th, 1967. It was released as an EP in the U.K. on December 8th, 1967. So... based on their release dates - it was "originally" released as an album (since that is what came out first).
@@aBeatleFan4ever the date of delivering doesn't mean that the disc was an LP, for the Beatles it was an EP, but in the USA they wanted it as an Album, they just delivered it in November...
@@B.R.0101 - You said that it wasn't originally an album... but it was in the US. And it is still, to this day, a part of The Beatles albums that can be purchased by any fan around the world. Can you currently buy the EP..?
Throughout his entire musical career (and especially with the Beatles), drummer Ringo Starr invested more love, affection, energy, and talent into every drum stroke than you will ever begin to appreciate.
To me it’s saying you always have to choose between negativity and positivity or ying and yang. Decisions are made every day, all day. Their costumes are because in this album they belong to Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band.
What are the outfits? Are you serious, dude? You might want to take a look at the cover of the most famous rock album in history: Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. Check it out, please!
“The guy in blue.” Uh, that would be Paul McCartney. The drummer is Ringo Starr. Those two are still with us. The middle guitarist in kind of peachy orange and wearing the hat is George Harrison. The guitarist in lime green is John Lennon. Growing up I heard The Beatles on the radio a lot, even in the early seventies, but didn’t see them on TV very much. Watching them on reaction videos I’ve realized that part of their appeal, aside from the incredible music, was that they had a lot of fun together. They took their music very seriously (even when singing silly songs) but weren’t afraid to show their goofy side.
This is a promotional video - I doubt they were actually playing. It looks like they are miming to the studio recording. The costumes are what they wore on the cover of the Sgt. Pepper's album. These words may seem simplistic, but listen to the musical arrangement. How the lead guitar follows the same melody as the backing vocals. How the sounds are layered for increasing complexity as the song progresses. The surprise fade out after the false ending. There is thoughtful arranging like this in almost every song in their catalog. Enjoy!
Michael, I think you are adorable, but you REALLY need to do a little research on The Beatles. To call Ringo Starr "the drummer" and Paul McCartney "the guy in blue" is borderline sacrilege. (this is a little funny if, in your history quest, you learn what John Lennon said about who The Beatles were more popular than.) The fourth one is George Harrison. Come on, there are only four names. Unlike almost every other band that ever was, those of us who were around when they started ALL knew John, Paul, George and Ringo.
My top 5 underrated Beatles songs are probably: It’s All Too Much; Hey Bulldog; Only A Northern Song; I’m Only Sleeping and Savoy Trufflle. I also suggest that you please check out the video of George Harrison playing “This Song”.
This song was #1 in the UK for SEVEN weeks (tied for the most weeks at #1 in the UK for any of their songs). It was a #1 hit around the world including the US, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Germany, Poland, France, Holland, Sweden, Norway and Denmark.
This was the “psychedelic” era (meaning LSD) thus the day-glo outfits, and the Beatles spent only a little time there. Their next album stripped back down to basics, but they wrote and performed in virtually every musical genre: The White Album. (PS: not every thought should be vocalized. Golden Retriever?) 🤨
This song is in my Top 5 favorite songs! Their songs are never simple if you listen closely. It’s a song about duality - but I think its meaning goes even deeper. This was right after their manager died and John, George and Ringo were afraid it was the end for them, but not Paul (the optimist and workhorse!) He’s saying, guys, it’s not goodbye, it’s hello. It’s not the end, it’s a new beginning! And McCartney’s middle 8 (where he was locking eyes with you lol) is my favorite part of any song, ever. Obsessed! And the shadow lyrics in verse 3 giving the opposite viewpoint. Genius. 💙💙💙💙
Top Beatles songs? That's a hard one. Across the Universe is one of my favorites. The entire Revolver and Abbey Road albums, and of course the White Album is a must. I've been a Beatles fan since I first saw them on Ed Sullivan Show in 1964!
Has this guy never heard of the Sgt. Pepper album? In My Life, Golden Slumbers medley, A Day in the Life, All YouNeed Is Love, and of course, Now & Then......
Ringo, the drummer was always like that, just kinda detached and doing his thing. But the funny thing is that he did a damn good job with what was often difficult material. I have known two professional drummers and they say some of the Beatles stuff is the hardest things they encountered.
If you want a really cool Beatles song that is a huge fan favorite but probably wasn't a huge hit although I definitely remember hearing it on the radio, Bulldog. Another really hardcore driven piano song where is John Lennon tearing his throat out with emotion, and I think it may even be from the same album, check out I'm Down.
I'm Down was Paul's song and vocals. The coverage at Shea Stadium was incredible. Paul was singing his heart out, and George and John were on the other side of the stage. John was playing the organ. John and George were singing backup vocals and got each other laughing. When John played the organ with his elbow, they were all having a good time.
Get culturally literate. Top selling musicians of all time and most influential band of the rock era. They had multiple styles because they had 3 songwriter/singers.
The drummer??? Really??? That's Ringo Starr, the most well-known drummer in history... and one of the best. Since The Beatles are the biggest-selling (fact), most influential (fact), and greatest (my opinion, but one shared by millions of musicians and songwriters) recording artists in history, isn't it time you actually learned their names??? John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr. Honestly, please stop calling them "the guy in blue" and names like that. It's ignorant.
Hm, why underrated? Beatles have about 100 masterpieces, and people usually react only on few of them. Try "Michelle", "Girl", "All You Need Is Love", nobody reacts to those. The last one is the quintessential song of that generation, and the first two are interesting examples of Paul (the first one) and John (the second one) doing the same thing, only differently, but equally well.
This was from their movie: Magical Mystery Tour. That was why they wore those outfits. Just like they had outfits for the Sgt. Peppers album. And as far as the lyrics, they may be simple, but, I find the lyrics in treating because it is about two people who are not on the same page. Who is Paul talking about? Why do they disagree on everything?
Ringo's drum were half-sized through a lot of the video. No wonder he was not too enthused. The lyrics going into the coda are Hela, he ba Aloha. Hence the hula dancers.
@debjorgo They did THREE different videos for "HELLO GOODBYE" THIS one was the one that was released officially and is more well known. The SECOND video that was done, Ringo is on his normal kit and the guys are each wearing something different, the style that was typical in 1967. In the THIRD video, they are still wearing the clothes that they are wearing in the SECOND video, but they are not miming, they are just fooling around, dancing, being silly and having fun while the song is played. Ringo is NOW playing an OVERSIZE kit!! For ME, the THIRD video is my favorite. It is SO FUNNY and shows how they loved being silly and just having fun, they NEVER took themselves seriously and that is what we hard core Beatle fans LOVED about them. It's hard to find that third version, but it ALL 3 versions are included in the DELUXE DVD called "1" It contains ALL the promo films and videos that the Beatles ever did. SOME of the 1967 Beatles you see in the current "NOW AND THEN" video were TAKEN from the first "HELLO GOODBYE" video (John and George in their Sgt. Pepper outfits) and some from the THIRD "HELLO GOODBYE" PLUS many of the OUT-TAKES from the THIRD "HELLO GOODBYE" video, much which has never been seen before.
Outfits are stylized band uniforms from.....wait for it .....Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band... probably the most successful pop album...ever!... You are SO young. It's cute....but... you're learning.
A worldwide hit in the winter of 1967. Underlined McCartney's talent for writing highly effective pop tracks. Other tracks with few lyrics, but very memorable, are for example "Why don't we do it the road" and the Beatles' pre-doom metal track "I want you (she's so heavy)". Rarely discussed is the Beatles' early hard rock track "I'm Down" from 1965, with McCartney's vocal cord-shredding rock shouter style. Only the studio version is recommended here; strangely enough, it often lacked the punch live. On the same day as "I'm down", McCartney also recorded his all-time classic and musically the completely opposite "Yesterday". Also a track, a fine psychedelic masterpiece by the Beatles, written by Harrison, "It's all too much" deserves more attention.
@@michaelwduffy Don't worry about it Michael. You still have a LONG way to go on the Beatles before you get more familiar with each of them, and their albums. I KNEW you had never seen the cover of their 1967 album "SGT. PEPPER'S LONELY HEARTS CLUB BAND" otherwise you would have recognized what they were wearing here. Paul McCartney in blue, George Harrison in peachy/orange (wearing the hat), John Lennon in lime green and Ringo Starr in pink, on a child size drum kit.
Release date 1967, 5 years after first stepping into a recording studio. The Beatles are dressed as Sgt Peppper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, the title characters from the famous groundbreaking album.
They're just having fun lipsynching. See also the video for Stawberry Fields for how they clown around and the video for Penny Lane for a catalog of images from Liverpool. Both of these songs were also on the Magical Mystery Tour album.
You want top 5 underrated, as opposed to well-known hits. Here you go: Savoy Truffle, I'm Only Sleeping, Tomorrow Never Knows, Think For Yourself, Being for the Benefit of Mr. Kite.
Whoa just a second. You CANNOT view/judge/analyse video from the LATE 1960S by comparing it with the AI/CGI/digital 255-tracked glossy product of another century. When I was an adolescent, I could only see the bands and musicians I was listening to on the pages of magazines. Making music videos was not a thing. Video tape was a gleam in an engineer's eye. The scratchy old video we see of musical performances - in black and white, fer chrissakes - were recorded on FILM and transcribed into today's digital media, and more power to the people who find this treasure and convert into a format that can be played on a computer device which comes with a media player that can tell what you are asking it to play and does so, seamlessly. Instead of smirking and slagging off this video and making off-hand comments about what they are playing (or even miming to, as the technology of syncing tape to film is still shonky today) or wearing, you might look past your 21st-century levels of inexperience and thank as many deities as you can name that someone took the time to put a moving image recorded in 1967 onto a screen in your sad little room in 2024. An awful lot of technologies have been developed, introduced, beaten to death and superceded in the last 57 years. By the way, anyone who has been listening to The Beatles since 1963 is glad to get these glimpses of one of the best bands to ever walk into a recording studio, and who CHANGED MUSIC FOREVER.
The outfits come from the 1967 album Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. Just wait till you learn about all the clues on Beatles album covers that Paul McCartney is dead.
You have dissed the Beatles. People are annoyed. I'm one of them. You actually couldn't be bothered to learn the NAMES of the band members? You really might as well have pissed on the Statue of Liberty. They were- and forever will be - the Fab Four. Nobody ever did it like them before them, they changed EVERYTHING.
You dont 'know' 10 to 15 of their songs, youve heard 10 to 15 of their songs. If you KNEW them you'd know! And the drummer, as you called him is Ringo Starr. ( look him up). The Beatles had a proper apprenticeship, playing for many years in Hamburg and pubs and clubs, up and down Britain, fame wasn't instant, but boy when it came, it came and we're still playing and buying their music. Until you can appreciate real talent please still to nursery rhymes.
They were lip synching. They actually did a pretty good job, but John & Ringo were sort of half hearted... Outtakes from this were used in the Now and Then video...
In Paul's book "Lyrics", he talks about the song's meaning. There is none. It came from a game he played with their roadie, Mal Evans. One person throws out a word and the other throws out a response. And from that, you build a song. Mal threw out yes, Paul threw out no. Mal said goodbye, Paul said hello.
You ought to react to the double A side Hey Jude and Revolution. Two great live versions, especially the David Frost show performance of Hey Jude and then follow it up with a real raw rocking Revolution.
I suggest you watch the video channel, Call me Caroline. Caroline is a serious musician who undertook serious research into their music. She listened to their singles and albums in order and learned how they and their amazing music progressed in a very short space of time. And there's so much info about them, try doing some reading and finding out who they really were, instead of using vague terms like 'the drummer' or 'the guy in blue'. It's pretty insulting you dont know. I'm 71 and have loved The Beatles since I was 10. Your flippant attitude is really annoying. And for goodness sakes, shift that jat of mayo!
The drummer's name in Ringo Starr. The guy in blue is some guy named Paul McCartney. You might've heard about him. And the song is not that simple. Listen to the last part. Probably the first time a band double tracked a song and made it magical. Not simple at all.
They're in their St Pepper outfits because for a few months they were thought renamed St Pepper 's Lonely Hearts Club Band. They're lip synching here and not even with their own instruments.
The "drummer" haha is not "not caring"! He is playing the most minimal fills-completely against expecations. It's actually a form of musical genius to play *nothing* when everyone expects you to play some spectacular fill.. Does that make sense? Oh, and this was a #1 song in the US, so many people agreed it is "magic".
IMO, you might try a hit or two from each of them after the Beatles disbanded, just to try to get a better sense of who they are as individuals. The drummer - Ringo - makes everything he's doing look very easy. He plays with a somewhat reserved style, not looking to try to steal the spotlight, but always supporting the band.
It's jarring how this promotional video is taken by the commentator to be "the song" when it's obviously lip-synched, and that keyboards and strings are dominant on the recording.
UK musician union rules at the time said you can't be fully miming your song in a video - so they had to do these kind of things where something is obvious - see Paperback Writer video (and hey react to that one!)
He's not "the drummer." He's Ringo -- the most famous drummer in history! And "the guy in blue" is the most successful songwriter in history -- Paul McCartney.
Watch the drums they change in size in the video 😊
Look on the record labels dufus. Lennon/mccartney. All of pauls solo 💩 is just that. Bubble gum music, paul was stuck in the 60’s mode. He was not a word smith like his partner.
@@Brandi6666 Paul McCartney is one of the the greatest songwriters of all time

The Beatles are everything. The most important group in history. End of story.❤😊
Everything ! Agree ✌🏼
I couldn't have said it better.
Ringo is miming on a childs drum kit. Never - never - refer to Ringo Starr as "The Drummer" again. If you don't know him you shouldn't react to Beatles music again until you do. Wait. No. Just don't react to them again. You don't know enough. You actually mentioned Coldplay within the same half hour of the Beatles. They couldn't shine the Beatles boots.

Well said. He needs to learn a thing or two about the most important band in history.

It's funny that you said The Beatles can take one lyric, repeat it and make it into a song sensation. Yes, yes they could. Who else could sing "Naa na na nananana, nananana, hey Jude" for over four minutes and turn it into a monster hit?
Also, "I want you, she's so heavy"

Love your reaction. The outfits are from Sargent Peppers Lonely Hearts Club band

She said, She said
And I love her

This song was #1 in the UK for SEVEN weeks (tied for the most weeks at #1 in the UK for any of their songs).
It was a #1 hit around the world including the US, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Germany, Poland, France, Holland, Sweden, Norway and Denmark.
Couldn't get enough of it. Played it till the grown-ups complained.
This was the “psychedelic” era (meaning LSD) thus the day-glo outfits, and the Beatles spent only a little time there.
Their next album stripped back down to basics, but they wrote and performed in virtually every musical genre:
The White Album.
(PS: not every thought should be vocalized. Golden Retriever?) 🤨
Michael, this one of my favorite Beatles songs! You sure can pick 'em! Good job! Carry on, you're doing a great job!💯👍😎
This song is in my Top 5 favorite songs! Their songs are never simple if you listen closely. It’s a song about duality - but I think its meaning goes even deeper.

What they were wearing.
Is there New album clothes..l felt like you are laughing at them don't diss what you don't know....yeah yeah yeah ☮️
Top Beatles songs? That's a hard one. Across the Universe is one of my favorites. The entire Revolver and Abbey Road albums, and of course the White Album is a must. I've been a Beatles fan since I first saw them on Ed Sullivan Show in 1964!
Please. The lyrics are brilliant! Makes total sense. Think about it!!!
Has this guy never heard of the Sgt. Pepper album? In My Life, Golden Slumbers medley, A Day in the Life, All YouNeed Is Love, and of course, Now & Then......
Watch the drums Ringo plays..in the video..they change in size
So when the drummer did care…you didn’t. 😅
Ringo, the drummer was always like that, just kinda detached and doing his thing. But the funny thing is that he did a damn good job with what was often difficult material. I have known two professional drummers and they say some of the Beatles stuff is the hardest things they encountered.
Please react to the Beatles song and video Day Tripper
Please on't disrespect Sir Ringo Starr. He cared and was always the consummate professional. Read his bio.
Sargent Pepper, you had to be there. Some acid wouldn't hurt either!
1) Helter Skelter
2 I’ve got a Feeling
3) Tomorrow never Knows
4) She said She Said
5) Golden Slumbers Medley
If you want a really cool Beatles song that is a huge fan favorite but probably wasn't a huge hit although I definitely remember hearing it on the radio, Bulldog.
Another really hardcore driven piano song where is John Lennon tearing his throat out with emotion, and I think it may even be from the same album, check out I'm Down.
"HEY Bulldog" is the complete title, and "I'M DOWN" is Paul singing lead vocals. l

their Sgt. Pepper uniforms
Dude, they were fucking around, have you no sense of humor. They hated, hated, hated lip syncing
The outfits are what they wore on the most iconic album cover in history "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band".
You’ve probably already been told that the song is from The Beatles’ “Sargent Pepper” album; hence the costumes.
song is from the album after Sgt Pepper... called Magical Mystery Tour
Not from Sargeant Pepper.
Underrated Beatles Songs-I'm down, The Inner Light, Ballad of john And Yoko, I'm A Loser and And Your bird Can sing.
I'm Down is grossly underrated - pure rocking out!
Enjoyed your reaction. 👍Ringo was the “beat” in Beatles. He was the spark that ignited the magic of these for lads from Liverpool.
you never heard of the beatles where have you been over the past fifty years
Everything they touched was golden.
Think of marching band uniforms. Those were the uniforms of Sergeant Pepper's lonely hearts club band.
You may notice that much of the footage of this video was used for the AI, John and George appearances in the "Now and Then" video.
The drummer??? Really??? That's Ringo Starr, the most well-known drummer in history... and one of the best.

Those outfits....look at the cover of the Sgt Pepper album, possibly the most iconic album ever - as was the cover art!!!
Hm, why underrated? Beatles have about 100 masterpieces, and people usually react only on few of them. Try "Michelle", "Girl", "All You Need Is Love", nobody reacts to those.

It’s All Too Much
Because

Across the Universe (Let It Be album version)
The guy in blue?!
Paul McCartney…….not focused?
Sort yourself out and listen to Come Together by them.
Ringo Starr, the drummer, went on to play a charactor "Mr. Conductor" for a children's show called Shining Time Station.
This isn't one of their best songs, but somehow it works.
You need to see the movie "Yellow Submarine" to understand the outfits.
How does it feel to be the only guy on the planet to not know the names of the people in this band?🤦🏻
He should be embarrassed.
You didn’t noticed that Ringo’s drums are changing in size drastically.
Great song from a seriously under-rated album....!
This was from their movie: Magical Mystery Tour. That was why they wore those outfits. Just like they had outfits for the Sgt. Peppers album. And as far as the lyrics, they may be simple, but, I find the lyrics in treating because it is about two people who are not on the same page. Who is Paul talking about? Why do they disagree on everything?
This song was not in the movie although its on the MMT album.
This was a promotional video to be shown on TV
Just 4 stoned buddies having fun...
Check out Sgt Pepper album
You're right... Even in the hysteria of the time, this was a 'nothing' song. But but but, they made it something magical.
True, this is a nothing song, but it's a nothing song that went to #1. They did that a lot.
Ringo's drum were half-sized through a lot of the video. No wonder he was not too enthused. The lyrics going into the coda are Hela, he ba Aloha. Hence the hula dancers.
@debjorgo They did THREE different videos for "HELLO GOODBYE" THIS one was the one that was released officially and is more well known. The SECOND video that was done, Ringo is on his normal kit and the guys are each wearing something different, the style that was typical in 1967. In the THIRD video, they are still wearing the clothes that they are wearing in the SECOND video, but they are not miming, they are just fooling around, dancing, being silly and having fun while the song is played. Ringo is NOW playing an OVERSIZE kit!! For ME, the THIRD video is my favorite. It is SO FUNNY and shows how they loved being silly and just having fun, they NEVER took themselves seriously and that is what we hard core Beatle fans LOVED about them. It's hard to find that third version, but it ALL 3 versions are included in the DELUXE DVD called "1" It contains ALL the promo films and videos that the Beatles ever did. SOME of the 1967 Beatles you see in the current "NOW AND THEN" video were TAKEN from the first "HELLO GOODBYE" video (John and George in their Sgt. Pepper outfits) and some from the THIRD "HELLO GOODBYE" PLUS many of the OUT-TAKES from the THIRD "HELLO GOODBYE" video, much which has never been seen before.
@@patticrichton1135 Yes. I have all three on VHS, saved for perpetuity, for what it's worth now. I'd forgotten they were on "1+".
Outfits are stylized band uniforms from.....wait for it .....Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band... probably the most successful pop album...ever!... You are SO young. It's cute....but... you're learning.
A worldwide hit in the winter of 1967. Underlined McCartney's talent for writing highly effective pop tracks.
Other tracks with few lyrics, but very memorable, are for example "Why don't we do it the road" and the Beatles' pre-doom metal track "I want you (she's so heavy)".
Rarely discussed is the Beatles' early hard rock track "I'm Down" from 1965, with McCartney's vocal cord-shredding rock shouter style. Only the studio version is recommended here; strangely enough, it often lacked the punch live.
On the same day as "I'm down", McCartney also recorded his all-time classic and musically the completely opposite "Yesterday". Also a track, a fine psychedelic masterpiece by the Beatles, written by Harrison, "It's all too much" deserves more attention.
Always had the magic. Still do.
No more!!! Hate it if you want BUT don't disrespectful to human beings tried to follow you but I'm DONE!
Haha I’m not hating just noticing peculiar outfits sorry if you’re offended don’t know what to tell ya 🤷♂️
@@michaelwduffy Don't worry about it Michael. You still have a LONG way to go on the Beatles before you get more familiar with each of them, and their albums. I KNEW you had never seen the cover of their 1967 album "SGT. PEPPER'S LONELY HEARTS CLUB BAND" otherwise you would have recognized what they were wearing here. Paul McCartney in blue, George Harrison in peachy/orange (wearing the hat), John Lennon in lime green and Ringo Starr in pink, on a child size drum kit.
Picked those outfits? Dude, it was Sergeant Pepper! Geez, show some respect for the Beatles! I'm done with your channel!
Release date 1967, 5 years after first stepping into a recording studio.
The Beatles are dressed as Sgt Peppper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, the title characters from the famous groundbreaking album.
They're just having fun lipsynching. See also the video for Stawberry Fields for how they clown around and the video for Penny Lane for a catalog of images from Liverpool. Both of these songs were also on the Magical Mystery Tour album.
The Album was Magical Mystery Tour.
This is entry to the psychedelic era.
They're dressed as "Sargent Peppers's Lonely Hearts Club Band"
their outfits are from the sgt pepper album they are pretending to be a make believe group called "SARGENT PEPPER" thus the funny outfits
The outfits are from the Sergeant Pepper Album in 1967. These are now VERY famous outfits and you have no clue, lol.
You want top 5 underrated, as opposed to well-known hits. Here you go:
Savoy Truffle, I'm Only Sleeping, Tomorrow Never Knows, Think For Yourself, Being for the Benefit of Mr. Kite.
Whoa just a second. You CANNOT view/judge/analyse video from the LATE 1960S by comparing it with the AI/CGI/digital 255-tracked glossy product of another century.
When I was an adolescent, I could only see the bands and musicians I was listening to on the pages of magazines. Making music videos was not a thing. Video tape was a gleam in an engineer's eye. The scratchy old video we see of musical performances - in black and white, fer chrissakes - were recorded on FILM and transcribed into today's digital media, and more power to the people who find this treasure and convert into a format that can be played on a computer device which comes with a media player that can tell what you are asking it to play and does so, seamlessly.
Instead of smirking and slagging off this video and making off-hand comments about what they are playing (or even miming to, as the technology of syncing tape to film is still shonky today) or wearing, you might look past your 21st-century levels of inexperience and thank as many deities as you can name that someone took the time to put a moving image recorded in 1967 onto a screen in your sad little room in 2024. An awful lot of technologies have been developed, introduced, beaten to death and superceded in the last 57 years.
By the way, anyone who has been listening to The Beatles since 1963 is glad to get these glimpses of one of the best bands to ever walk into a recording studio, and who CHANGED MUSIC FOREVER.
The outfits come from the 1967 album Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. Just wait till you learn about all the clues on Beatles album covers that Paul McCartney is dead.
You have dissed the Beatles. People are annoyed. I'm one of them. You actually couldn't be bothered to learn the NAMES of the band members? You really might as well have pissed on the Statue of Liberty. They were- and forever will be - the Fab Four. Nobody ever did it like them before them, they changed EVERYTHING.
You dont 'know' 10 to 15 of their songs, youve heard 10 to 15 of their songs. If you KNEW them you'd know! And the drummer, as you called him is Ringo Starr. ( look him up). The Beatles had a proper apprenticeship, playing for many years in Hamburg and pubs and clubs, up and down Britain, fame wasn't instant, but boy when it came, it came and we're still playing and buying their music. Until you can appreciate real talent please still to nursery rhymes.
They were lip synching. They actually did a pretty good job, but John & Ringo were sort of half hearted... Outtakes from this were used in the Now and Then video...
'The drummer', is Ringo Starr...possibly the most famous drummer in the world. You need to do some research, my son!
In Paul's book "Lyrics", he talks about the song's meaning. There is none. It came from a game he played with their roadie, Mal Evans. One person throws out a word and the other throws out a response. And from that, you build a song. Mal threw out yes, Paul threw out no. Mal said goodbye, Paul said hello.
Bongo is 7ft '1 ,....thats why the drums look so small...and he is NOT bored ..just on heroin
You ought to react to the double A side Hey Jude and Revolution. Two great live versions, especially the David Frost show performance of Hey Jude and then follow it up with a real raw rocking Revolution.
It's funny that you said Ringo (the drummer) reminds you of a golden retriever-like the dog breed, Ringo was pretty much up for anything.
I suggest you watch the video channel, Call me Caroline. Caroline is a serious musician who undertook serious research into their music. She listened to their singles and albums in order and learned how they and their amazing music progressed in a very short space of time. And there's so much info about them, try doing some reading and finding out who they really were, instead of using vague terms like 'the drummer' or 'the guy in blue'. It's pretty insulting you dont know. I'm 71 and have loved The Beatles since I was 10. Your flippant attitude is really annoying. And for goodness sakes, shift that jat of mayo!
The drummer's name in Ringo Starr. The guy in blue is some guy named Paul McCartney. You might've heard about him. And the song is not that simple. Listen to the last part. Probably the first time a band double tracked a song and made it magical. Not simple at all.
3:44 You should listen to "You Know My Name (Look Up THe Number)" then hahaha
They're in their St Pepper outfits because for a few months they were thought renamed St Pepper 's Lonely Hearts Club Band.
They're lip synching here and not even with their own instruments.
The "drummer" haha is not "not caring"! He is playing the most minimal fills-completely against expecations. It's actually a form of musical genius to play *nothing* when everyone expects you to play some spectacular fill.. Does that make sense? Oh, and this was a #1 song in the US, so many people agreed it is "magic".
IMO, you might try a hit or two from each of them after the Beatles disbanded, just to try to get a better sense of who they are as individuals.
The drummer - Ringo - makes everything he's doing look very easy. He plays with a somewhat reserved style, not looking to try to steal the spotlight, but always supporting the band.
It's jarring how this promotional video is taken by the commentator to be "the song" when it's obviously lip-synched, and that keyboards and strings are dominant on the recording.
I think the outfits are from A argent Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band!
They did Lip synk videos to go with hit songs. That's why the drummer does not care. He's not really playing in the video.
Ringo, the drummer still tours with his all star band. McCartney(bass player) is also on tour.
Wow! Haven't heard in years! I was instantly in my parents living room again...❤
UK musician union rules at the time said you can't be fully miming your song in a video - so they had to do these kind of things where something is obvious - see Paperback Writer video (and hey react to that one!)
I’ve said it over and over… The Beatles built the house. Everybody else, and I mean everybody else, is just tryin to rent a room.
I agree that McCartney has sophomoric lyrics, but he has some great melodies.
