This was when John still “cared” about things. What’s really impressive about this song is their harmonies. Most people could never “hear” such harmonies, much less actually sing them. Lennon and McCartney were excellent at these hard to hear harmonies from the start. I think that “sound” is a big part of why the Beatles were so popular. They had a sound like no other.
@@gamechanger3396: John had a hard childhood and was psychologically messed up at an early age anyway. But then he found music as a teenager. The music became all important and John was extremely driven. The Beatles then happened and they made it extremely big. But then drugs came along and really messed up his life, his overall motivation, and his attitude in the middle years of The Beatles. I think his old psychological problems and low feelings of self-worth started creeping back and became a problem again around that period as well. (Actually, they never really seemed to completely leave him.) A combination of finally quitting drugs, getting older and more mature, and (apparently) Yoko’s love (and his son Sean) made him a better man. His amazing talent returned, after a lengthy absence from music, before he was assassinated at age 40. His last album was so excellent. It was typical, magical Lennon…with forever memorable melodies/songs.
Beach Boys, Bee Gees, especially early stuff which is very ‘Beatle like’ . Both had great harmonies that are as good as the Beatles. But the Beatles were the ‘complete package’. Seemingly no weakness’. Even with styles and genres.
I can never get tired of stuff like this and the Anthology cuts. The level of musical ambition the Beatles maintained for so long is simply beyond belief.
As a radio station noted when Anthology 2/3 came out "Sleep or the lack of it seemed to be a common theme in John Lennon's music" This one was on Revolver? And later on White Album he did I'm So Tired.
@@NYVoice True. But by this point he was also smoking marijuana for breakfast lunch and dinner too. So surely drug use had some influence here. That said he was surely calling for help a year earlier with the song HELP! . Listen to his original piano version. It was far more melancoly than the final version and was a genuine call and request for help. Though I am no shrink. I think John Lennon showed signs of severe depression in this era. The drugs (marijuana and later LSD) enhanced whichever mood he was in and he was depressed by this point over his life. Not sure how much booze was in there but I'm certain he drank and by all accounts was a mean drunk (ruined Paul's 21st birthday party for example) HIs marriage was rocky to start with, Beatlemania was a nightmare of screaming fans who didn't even care about the music he played or sang anymore. He had two things keeping him going music and sleep. With drug use driving both. So yes. Sleep was his only escape.
@@jeffreykaufmann2867 Didn't he and Yoko also dabble very briefly in heroin? That can sap body weight and muscle. His song Cold Turkey was a product of that experiment. One of the reasons they both kicked it fully was to have a baby after she miscarried. The ultimate result was Sean's birth.
I just try to imagine my 6 year old Beatle fan self being told "in 52 years you'll be listening to their session tapes on a small device and looking at lovely photos of them too". A m a z i n g.
A game changer...this track, is one of the most influential guitar solos in the history of guitar solos. A guitar solo...recorded forwards, then played backwards on the final cut? Only The Beatles...could have thought to do something this innovative...and make it work. An exquisite solo. John...Paul...George...and Ringo...are geniuses.
Someone here mentioned it was written out backwards and played in real time that way. No way...you can easily hear the backward picking attack plus they'd (George I suppose) never have notated anything much less taken the tedious time.
What the heck is a ‘cythar?’ And how did you get that word past spell check which turned it into cathartic first and Cynthia second. I think you mean ‘sitar’ but it’s not that either. It’s backwards guitar, my friend.
I went to the Candlestick final concert and been awed by them ever since. This Take One was a GEM, really a diamond in the rough followed by highly polished and inspiring production sound. Loved it. Such a rare glimpse into the ‘pre-production’ raw creative process. If you have more like this PLEASE post them.
@@danielbouju1688 I do get the Taxman reference...but I seriously wonder wether the idea of George having backwards guitar riffs was Martins idea, John’s or George’s?
The rehearsal version w/ John's slightly out-of-tune guitar is illuminating. Even with that primitive equipment the polish, harmonies, the backwards guitar on the released version are amazing.
Great song one of their best. 4 different mixes available (UK mono and stereo and US mono and stereo) all with different backwards guitar placement. UK mono wins in my opinion. Just brilliant!
It is easy to see the heads of the Vox UL730 amps that they used for the next few years. These amps are hard to find now as only a few were made. Supposedly Jimmy page used one in early Led Zeppelin stuff, also. thanks for posting this and your other videos of these sessions.
There’s a Fender Showman head/cab too. And McCartney’s blonde Bassman. I think they also used this gear on Sgt. Pepper’s and the Magical Mystery Tour stuff.
I love hearing the incredible Beatles music in its developmental stages. It's like being a fly on the wall (one of my dreams.) I thoroughly enjoyed hearing the rough cut back to back with the final version. Of course, it doesn't hurt that I absolutely adore this song and Revolver is my favorite Beatles record. It's incredibly groundbreaking. I very much enjoyed the version of "Got To Get You Into My Life" from Anthology, when it was in development and the song was very different than the final version. I sometimes wish they had taken that direction with the final cut: with the vocal arabesque harmonies, and the proto-psychedelic sound that was emerging there. The Motown sound of the final version was a bit out of character with the psychedelic sounds that were starting to emerge. Not that I'm complaining. It's awesome nonetheless.
What a hauntingly beautiful song that is, and how nice of you to have put together both the crude version and the final polished product in this one clip. Well done!! 🎉👍👍🎉
A few of the pics of George Harrison in the "If I Needed Someone" video I have posted were taken of George singing that song at Crosley Field, in 1966. You were there. Kool.
Rubber Soul was in fact the transitional album for bass guitars in the band. The way to tell which is which? Get the EMI Rubber Soul album, put it on your living room stereo, then go sit on the toilet with the bathroom door nearly closed. The ones that shake the walls are the Rick, the ones that don't, the Hofner, which was developing intonation and playability issues.
It's odd that John is only pictured with an electric guitar in these pics even though the backing track recorded on Apr 27 only features acoustic guitars. George's backwards electric overdub was a week later.
When I record acoustic guitar, I try to always double-track- and split the guitars in the mix. Not here. A simple/raw acoustic in the middle. And, the syncopation he plays, around 5:48 is amazing. No one did that back then. Also, it would have been "easy" to get the tempo going too fast at the end. Ringo kept the throttle running perfectly.
Many of my favorite Beatles songs were written mainly by John Lennon and "I'm Only Sleeping" is high on my list. This recording is far from a final take but in some ways its unfinished harmonies are better. One may get an idea that The Beatles could have produced several quite different arrangements of this wonderful song. It is heartening to hear that Lennon stuck to his budget and did not waste new guitar strings on a first take. One side note. "In My Life" is another favorite, highly characteristic John Lennon song. According to one Paul McCartney, he, Paul, composed the music. If so, McCartney deserves the highest marks for producing music that is so perfectly Lennonesque.
At the Love pre-show they would play the backing track with the full unfaded backwards guitar. Also go search for take 2 (or possible pre-take 1). It's out there sounding similar to take 1 but with George playing random electric guitar notes.
How about the best first five songs? Taxman, Eleanor Rigby, I'm Only Sleeping, Love You To, Here There And Everywhere? Every song is completely different and the first four are way ahead of that time in 1966. Song #5, HT&E is more traditional Beatles but a truly beautiful song
3:55 compare this recorded part with the low-fi demo at 1:03...... John's vocal power is evident in the low-fi version startlingly at the word "crazy". I think Geo. Martin liked smoothing out the loud and rough edges, (aka: passion) of the Beatles.
”The Beatles ran through a good degree of taped rehearsal of the song with acoustic guitar, drums and vibraphone (probably played by Paul). They then decided that they were ready to start taping a new version of the song so, having spooled the tape back, proper recording began. They apparently decided to drop the vibraphone idea and started fresh with a simple acoustic guitar and tambourine arrangement with full vocal harmonies from John and Paul recorded live. Five takes of this were recorded, the first of which began with John exaggeratingly calling out “I’m Only Sleeping, take one” although, of course, there were already eleven takes in existence. He undoubtedly felt they didn’t count since they were starting to record the song all over again.” Dave Rybaczewski
That's new info that I did not know before. I appreciate all the insight from those watching these videos. Always new things to learn. Thanks for sharing.
They would NOT run the tape back. They were told - engineers - not to erase any take. That’s the “ how “ we’re hearing early takes fifty five years later.
@@JesperSalama I don’t understand . Everyone I assume has heard that take, it’s been online quite some time. I don’t own the Anthology recordings, is it on there ?
Fun fact: Hans Christian Anderson, when staying in a hotel, wanted to make sure no one came in the room and thought he had died. So, he left out a little card on the bed stand that said, I'm only sleeping. Not sure if the Beatles got the idea from this.
Last night October 11,2022 I posted the lyrics to this song on my Facebook page so my friends could read them and today October 12,2022 I posted this song on my Facebook page so my friends could hear it - I like this song
One of my favorite tracks from my favorite period of the Beatles. I first heard it on the Capitol album Yesterday And Today, with the (benign) steamer trunk cover. I always thought the bass part on the master version was an upright. Doesn't sound like the Hofner.
One of the " shames " of the American Capitol records release was that this song was not on the album. I didn't know it was on " Revolver " until I bought the Brit/Parlophone version in the early 80's. " Yesterday and Today " was an American Crapital release of hodgepodge Beatles tunes that never existed as a Beatles album. This, and " Taxman " are my two favorites on " Revolver ". Brilliant.
Is it only me who hears Ringo possibly hitting his snare's skin and rim together? (I'm referring to the couple instrumental lines/bars at the very end.)
IMO, best song on Revolver. Yes, above "Elanor Rigby", "Tomorrow Never Knows", "Here There and Everywhere" and even (dare I say it? ), "Yellow Submarine".
Interesting observation! You can certainly hear it in take 1. Ray Davies infamously trashed "Revolver" in a review, but said this was by far the best track on the album.
This was about four months before Revolver was released. Revisionist opinion of some Beatles fans put Revolver ahead of Sgt Pepper as the group's best album. I tend to agree.
Imagine if we had a "Get Back" documentary for all their albums. There are treasures in their sessions tapes and it's a tragedy they never played these songs in public...
Absolutely agree and also wished they had an Abbey Road movie. John with the beard singing Come Together. Would have been a classic moment.

Interesting to hear Paul doing the low part of the harmony here. I can't think of many instances where he did that.
I don't want to spoil the party
At the beginning I thought John was double-tracked. McCartney could change his voice to mimic/complement John. Incredible.
This used to puzzle me when I was young, trying to figure out how John got that sound - eg, the verses of Eight Days a Week or Hard Days Night

I would say it’s a tie between “I’m only sleeping” and “Here, There, and Everywhere”. Both exceptional, just one is John and the other is Paul.
For no one is great too, but i agree i'm only sleeping is the best song of the album
Great.
This is probably as close as the Beatles got to a Kinks type tune.

Studio 3. If you have ever been inside Abbey Road it is the smaller studio upstairs as you enter the building.
1:57 addicting and pretty much beatlesque guitar transition
I like take one better than the album version.
This was about four months before Revolver was released. Revisionist opinion of some Beatles fans put Revolver ahead of Sgt Pepper as the group's best album. I tend to agree.
Id choose take 1
Why would they need another take???
Such cool guitars forwards backwards make sure to keep Sir George Martin busy just brilliant
