I happened on you by accident (yes I'm a huge Beatle) fan but I have to tell you don't have to say a word, your expressions are priceless they tell your review without uttering a word I love it
You're picking killer tracks because this stuff is where the lads went next level. I love the gospel feel of " Let It Be". great reaction to the music of my youth.
Strawberry Fields was the name of an orphanage near John's home where he would play in the grounds with his friends as a child. A Day In the Life was inspired by John's leaving thru the newspaper. It's considered a masterpiece. The classical orchestra was asked to play the whole scale of their instruments in unison to create that masterpiece React to more of their early period and middle period of their music:. She loves you; This Boy; if I fell; A Hard day's Night;From Me To You... So many great songs
I was still 15 at the beginning of 1986 when I heard Strawberry Fields Forever and A Day in the Life for the first time - less than a year after Live Aid. They absolutely blew my mind! I never thought that kind music was possible.
"Strawberry Fields" was made of two recordings - one sped up and another slowed down to match key and timing. John recorded one take and days later came back and recorded a different take. Each had parts that John liked. George Martin (showing why he was so important to the Beatles) decided to combine the two takes and viola! We have a completed song.
I think John originally wrote it as a soft simple acoustic version, then they also recorded another heavier version. John wanted both, although they was recorded in different keys. George Martin who originally mixed it had to slow one version and speed up another to get them in the same key.
The lady Madonna music video is actually footage of them recording the song Hey Bulldog. I recommend finding that video. Great song from the yellow submarine soundtrack. George also wrote some amazing songs like All Too Much and While My Guitar Gently Weeps and I Want To Tell You.
What's really interesting about that is, they entered the studio to record the video for Lady Madonna. Rather than simply pretend they were playing Lady Madonna, they decided to take an unfinished song of John's (Hey Bulldog), complete it, record it, and use the video for Lady Madonna.
Oh, I loved every minute of that. Pleeeease do another, I don't care what songs you choose, there are no bad ones, just very different ones. In the less than 10 years they were churning out hits, they changed it up so many times, just doing things no one had done before. Thank you for another awesome reaction. ❤
these are some of my favorite beatles songs ever, in one reaction. its always so cool to see people fall in love with the same music that i fell in love with. please do more videos on the beatles! love these reactions!
I love John's voice, I love Paul's voice, I love George's voice and Ringo is such a fantastic drummer!!!! They were all so ridiculously creative!!!👍👍👌👌✌✌😃😃
I think it's so awesome that new generations like yourself is discovering the greatest of the Beatles. Growing up I remembering running to my local record store and picking up a copy of a newly released Beatles album, which some I still have and still love listening to great hits. Thank you for great takes.
Four superb songs by the Fab Four! “Strawberry Fields Forever” was significant for being the Beatles first single of 1967 (a double A-side with “Penny Lane”), and their first UK single to not reach #1 (stalling at #2). Only four years earlier, the guys were singing simple love songs, and by ‘67, they were creating psychedelic masterpieces like “SFF” and “A Day In The Life”, which closed their amazing album “Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band” - one of the most famous and influential albums ever released. George joins Paul and John on the harmonies for “Lady Madonna” - the band’s first single of 1968, and another #1 hit. Keep up the Beatles reactions! Thank you Bryson! ✌️✨
Yasssss! Glad you’re continuing The Beatles journey! Nearly 300 songs in just 7 years (very few sound even similar) and they changed music forever. Imagine hearing those first 2 in the 60s?!? (I wasn’t alive either, so I can only imagine too lol.) I’ll suggest ‘She Loves You,’ (really spearheaded Beatlemania) ‘Here There and Everywhere,’ ‘Hello,Goodbye,’ ‘Blackbird,’ ‘Yesterday,’ and ‘While My Guitar Gently Weeps.’ From watching you for awhile, I think you’d like them all. ❤
Strawberry Fields Forever is beyond a masterpiece that I can’t really describe. John Lennon magically takes us on a nostalgic journey to his childhood while also taking us to a cosmic journey into our souls. Im glad that you were emotionally affected by his singing. He might be my favorite singer of all time. Great reaction and yes, more Beatles and we will all be eagerly awaiting ❤
Strawberry field forever, you just heard the greatest song of all time, I never tire of this song and watching all these reaction videos videos from young people.
'I'm quite concerned for Paul's safety' This made me giggle! 😃 Strawberry Fields is my fave Beatles song! ♥ 'Should I be scared?' - LoL! 😃 ♥ the face/reaction at the end of A Day In The Life! Priceless! LoL @serial killer comment! 😃 Let It Be is one of the most powerful/beautiful songs ever made! ♥
"Let it Be" was first released as a single. Nearly identical except for the guitar solo. In my opinion THIS version, the album version you reacted to is superior. The solo not only matches the vibe, but completely uplifts the song even farther!
I recognize the dog in Strawberry Fields video! It was Paul's dog Martha (about whom he wrote "Martha, My Dear," one of my favorite Beatles tunes). Loads of pics of Martha on the web, which I just discovered. I still remember the sweet pic of Martha and Paul & Linda's daughter Mary, from the McCartney album jacket --- McCartney is the name of Paul's first solo album. Glad you're enjoying the music!
Keep in mind, VIDEO TAPE had not been invented yet. There was no such thing as videos. The Beatles would take on single, make a promotional FILM to send out to markets to sell a tour. The term "music videos" didn't start until aroun 1979-1980. Friday Night Videos was a late night show after 11pm on Friday where about 30 minutes of "videos " were premiered. MTV came along in 1981. That is when bands started to make videos for their more popular singles. What you are looking at here, are clips from promotional films.
I'm a music noob. Everyone says Paul has the best voice with the best range(?), but Lennon's voice has always been the best for me. It sounds higher and better.
Great reaction, thank you, loved watching your experience! Although I'm foremost a Queen fan, The Beatles come in hard on second place. I'm well aware that these were the 60's , there was no autotune and even more impressive is that in the 50's most hits were very sweet and goody goody. They innovated like no other, and so all bands in the 70's and 80's are standing on the shoulders of the Beatles. (In my opinion of course)
You defenitely have to do "Something", While my Guitar Gently Weeps", "Helter Skelter", "I Want You (She's So Heavy)" "I'm The Walrus", "Oh Darling", "Tomorrow Never Knows" and "In My Life". Those are my recomendations for 2 more videos
All great suggestions - especially George’s brilliant “While My Guitar Gently Weeps” (preferably the album version, as the video uses an alternate take not as well known). “Something” (the only A-sided Beatles single written by George, and his first #1 hit) isn’t too shabby either! I think Bryson would get a kick out of the psychedelic masterpiece “I Am The Walrus”.
@@redletter2008 yeah. It's important that he does the album version of "While My Guitar Gently Weeps", as It Is the original. The video version is the accoustic one. It's beautiful, but still not the best for a first listen, in my opinion
Strawberry Fields Forever and A Day In The Life are considered some of the greatest songs ever written. Both from 1967, both mainly written by John (with Paul in the middle section of A Day In The Life.) Their producer George Martin says that one of his biggest regrets was not putting Strawberry Fields on their 8th album, Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band. I'd love for you to check out some solo tracks fron the members as well. "Mother" for John, "Maybe I'm Amazed" for Paul, "My Sweet Lord" for George. For Ringo I'm not so sure since I've only heard 1 solo song of his that he wrote. Maybe "It Don't Come Easy", but I haven't heard that one yet. I should listen to it. Glad you enjoyed, looking forward to more in the future, if copyright isn't an issue.
if one in the other 54 comments has not said, the film for "Lady Madonna" was actual film for "Hey Bulldog" which was recorded the same week in Jan'1968. The Single "Lady M" was a hit, while "hey Bulldog was an album track -but it was discovered which song the music synched t0 proper, years later.
The star of the first song is not the drums but the mellotron, used for the first time in a recording by a pop rock group. That is the main historical value of this mythical song. He broke musical and structural molds in 1967. . They opened the doors to other later artists who incorporated it into their music.
Great reactions as always. Lol, I loved your comments on A Day In The Life! That really is a song that gets many people hearing it for the first time baffled, especially the orchestral cacophony of noise, lol! I love The Beatles, could never of their music. Btw, you have a very soothing talking voice. :)
It's cool how the Beatles' music is liked by many generations both back in the 60s when both my parents as well and I and friends liked them, and now a new generation of people can share that. Music brings us all together in a briliant way, helping to see the universal soul within us all. The Beatles definitely said, or tried to say, something different and maeningful in a lot of their songs.
You picked easily some of the best Beatles songs to review this time. They truly were innovators in the studio which resulted in some groundbreaking music.
When Strawberry Fields came out it creeped me out. "living is easy with eyes closed" "let me take you down" ....also at the very end supposedly John says "I buried Paul" - that was one of things that drove the "Paul is dead" rumors in the late 60's.
Enjoying your relaxed reactions thanks. The Beatles were such prolific songwriters of variety and quality as well as their talented musicianship! If you like their harmonies listen and react please to their medley on Abbey Road ... Because is particularly beautiful.
Wonderful to see you continuing your Beatles exploration and a fine mix of songs it was ! I listened to all but the last song, as it holds very sentimental value and tonight I did not want to cry. But aren't this band incredible ? They were never afraid to experiment (with everything!) and I love them for it. A most beautiful PMD reaction. ❤❤
I almost forgot: Yes, absolutely a part 3 would be incredible. :) Maybe do 4 songs from the same album next time. Four from Help! (which was also a movie) would be fantastic and would *have* to include Ticket to Ride and You've Got To Hide Your Love Away. Those two are wonderful. Of course, I love most of their hundreds of songs. :D Another possibility would be a quartet from Sgt. Pepper's or 4 from their other movie: A Hard Day's Night. If you do 4 from that movie, it must include This Boy (Ringo's Theme), If I Fell (an awesome ballad of John's), and Happy Just To Dance With You, a great offering from George. I Should Have Known Better (with some great harmonica from John) or And I Love Her, a very pretty ballad of Paul's would round that out nicely. Four from Rubber Soul or Revolver would also be nice. My choice would be from one of the two movies if I had to choose. Honestly, if you ever want to react to a movie, either of those would be great fun. The lads were being themselves in large part for the first movie, it's just delightful.
Thank you for this, really enjoy these videos! Also the way you put songs from close "points" in Beatles' music helps you follow their progression, really nice.
You can hear Lenin's voice slow down from the first section it's two different recording in different keys they slowed one down and set up the second section to match you can hear the drag of John's voice in the second section
Certainly picked a good bunch. 3 of the best, and Lady Madonna... Here's a good 4: 'I've Just Seen A Face'; I Am The Walrus; 'For No One'; Happiness Is A Warm Gun'.
Within You Without You I'd think you'd like for the next one. Something completely different from anything that went before, with amazingly wise lyrics.
The first three videos got blocked, so I had to blur them. Sorry! The unblurred video is available on Patreon: www.patreon.com/posts/watching-beatles-83963632?Link&
ADIML stroke of genius of the Beatles. At the time, some parents were panicking because of Strawberry, Walrus and LucyDS. Only Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da they allowed me to buy when I was 12 years old. Then I became a real Beatles fan. In my mania they parted. My lesson since then: not to concern myself too much with the biography of an artist, only the music counts for me. e.g. since I saw the Eagles documentary, I can no longer listen to Hotel California without worrying (oppressive procurement trip).
Really enjoyable reactions. I sounds to me like the high harmony on the "see how they run" part of Lady Madonna is actually George. Also, the dream section after "and I fell into a dream" line in A Day in the Life sounds like George, which would tie in with Paul meeting him on the top floor of the double decker on the way to school, which is apparently the inspiration for that part. There's always a Beatles nut around when you need one!
These songs were recorded after they gave up touring & live performances. Up until then, they cranked out 2 albums a YEAR, plus an insane concert schedule. Now you’re lucky if an artist puts out an album in 2 years.. Sgt Pepper’s was the first time, they got to take their time & experiment….
I'd like to give you a couple of Beatles suggestions. I believe there is a video for a song called Rain. And there's a video of them playing Revolution, there is a fun TV video of them playing an older song called Day tripper, You can get some concert video taping of them doing one of their first songs, All my Loving, You can find concert video of Paul alone on stage singing one of their most famous songs Yesterday. That being said there are so many album only Great songs that you should listen to. Helter Skelter I Want You (She's So Heavy) Come Together Sargent Peppers Lonly Hearts Club Band Played with the next one they blend together no break With A Little Help From My Friends I Am theWalrus (video is available) I suggest you do more Beatles work they are the most popular band ever. By now you see why.
Phil Spector layered a load of sickly strings and brass over a lot of the Let It Be album after the Beatles broke up, and at John's request, before the album's release.
The original 'Sergeant Peppers Lp! Had a strange groove in the vinyl!! The LP would never stop! You had to get up and turn it off! And I believe that it was saying 'Acid helps your Mind ' But it is from one of my previous Lives!! Along time ago! And I could have been mistaken all these decades! But I don't think I was!!.....
We can't see the videos -believe that you can. That's alright, as I've been a fan of The Beatles since 1978 -Welcome to the group! 😀 (and your concern for Paul's safety in the tree -it's John who isn't sharing the tree.
for the next one I suggest Penny Lane, Hello Goodbye, Paperback Writer and Revolution. Two of the best aren‘t on youtube tho (I Am The Walrus and All You Need Is Love). Keep the Beatles episodes going!
Strawberry Fields is a trip isn't it? The lyrics are so John Lennon People could listen to that 20 or 30 times and still not know quite what he's talking about.
Yeah, the Let It Be version of the songs are a mess. You might wanna listen to the versions on "Let It Be... Naked", which is a relatively newer mix without all the stuff Phil Spector added without asking for any approval or second opinions. Which pissed the hell off of Paul, him being the control freak he is. Let It Be... Naked was released in 2003 and ostensibly it really is a more stripped version of it and, frankly, much better without that whole wall of sound. Let It Be, as a song, specifically suffers from so many sounds being added to the track, and breathes much better without the whole orchestral chaos in the original release. Anyway, your reaction to A Day In The Life is EVERYTHING. That's exactly the face I think I made when I listened to it the first few times lol that crescendo was Paul's idea inspired by his hyperfixation with avant-garde music of the time, and he went at it in his incredibly chaotic way - just told the musicians in the orchestra that they should play it by starting from their instruments' lower note to the highest and go at their own pace in a completely free way, which they Did Not Like, so George Martin (who was the Beatles' producer) just wrote some sheet music for them. Also I love how Paul and John had two songs they liked but they only had pieces of, so they went "ok, let's just put them together". and it works. It all works so incredibly well, it's insane.
Listening to these four songs, you'd get kind of a distorted idea of what the Beatles' music is like. The only one that even comes close to rock is "Lady Madonna" and it's not a very good song. The Beatles were primarily rock'n rollers who tried some other things later in their career. The only thing whoever is advising you probably knows about the 60s is that it's the decade when their grandparents were born. Your might want to try a few songs from the first four years of their career.
Let it Be has 2 versions, but the single that came out first, had no orchestra, choirs, and horns and the guitar solo was less of a standout. History has overshadowed and thrown out the single version, which was more spiritual than this overproduction IMO. Phil Spector was given the tapes by Lennon, with no consultation with the others, flor the whole album to monkey with, Producer George Martin had done the single, and THAT's the first one ANYONE ever heard in Spring 1970, and it went to #1 EVERYONE was in awe of that version. Billy Preston, African American keyboardist played the organ parts and possibly the electric piano, while Paul played the grand piano, John the bass, George the guitar and Ringo the drums.
Billy Preston is also on the album version. And I think Paul ereased Johns bass part in january 1970 when the last three Beatles (except John) finished the song with new bass and backing vocals by Paul, George and Linda that you hear on the single version. Besides that I still like the album version more, especially for the George solo he changed. That version would have been on their hit compilations.
Nice work, young man. The Beatles changed everything including the classical music scene. I think you would really love and appreciate "The Medley" from Abby Road. Just make sure its in proper order as there is an incrrectly ordered 'version' on TH-cam. It really delights me to see reactions like yours. Great work!
Kudos to Ringo for his fills on a Day In The Life.
John's vocal on "A Day in the Life" is incredible. And his voice gets to a lot of people. He's able to just convey emotion so well.
John always hated his voice. He did not like it at all.
There is something magical about the Beatles.
I happened on you by accident (yes I'm a huge Beatle) fan but I have to tell you don't have to say a word, your expressions are priceless they tell your review without uttering a word I love it

React to more of their early period and middle period of their music:. She loves you; This Boy; if I fell; A Hard day's Night;From Me To You...
So many great songs
Thats vhy is nobody in my tree where he just to play. He tells and then he does not..kind of absence 8:39

Penny Lane must be the next song, I've always loved the video too with the Beatles meeting on the street
@@PancakeMarshmallowDude😊
Let it be is one of the greatest songs ever written. A perfect song.
Yasssss! Glad you’re continuing The Beatles journey! Nearly 300 songs in just 7 years (very few sound even similar) and they changed music forever. Imagine hearing those first 2 in the 60s?!? (I wasn’t alive either, so I can only imagine too lol.) I’ll suggest ‘She Loves You,’ (really spearheaded Beatlemania) ‘Here There and Everywhere,’ ‘Hello,Goodbye,’ ‘Blackbird,’ ‘Yesterday,’ and ‘While My Guitar Gently Weeps.’ From watching you for awhile, I think you’d like them all. ❤
Strawberry Fields Forever is beyond a masterpiece that I can’t really describe. John Lennon magically takes us on a nostalgic journey to his childhood while also taking us to a cosmic journey into our souls.
Im glad that you were emotionally affected by his singing. He might be my favorite singer of all time.
Great reaction and yes, more Beatles and we will all be eagerly awaiting ❤
Strawberry field forever, you just heard the greatest song of all time, I never tire of this song and watching all these reaction videos videos from young people.
Your face during A Day In The Life says it all. I think this song gets to us in ways we can't explain.
'I'm quite concerned for Paul's safety' This made me giggle! 😃 Strawberry Fields is my fave Beatles song! ♥
'Should I be scared?' - LoL! 😃 ♥ the face/reaction at the end of A Day In The Life! Priceless! LoL @serial killer comment! 😃

I'd love for you to check out some solo tracks fron the members as well. "Mother" for John, "Maybe I'm Amazed" for Paul, "My Sweet Lord" for George. For Ringo I'm not so sure since I've only heard 1 solo song of his that he wrote. Maybe "It Don't Come Easy", but I haven't heard that one yet. I should listen to it.

Thank you!
Love it Bryson👏🏻💕Have a fabulous weekend !!
Thanks, and same to you! ❤️

recommend "Something "
so different..amazing really. best and most influential band...ever
You're a good analyst and able to seperate the instruments. Keep up the good work 🙂
Thank you! Will do! 😊
We are all fortunate for the experience.
You can hear Lenin's voice slow down from the first section it's two different recording in different keys they slowed one down and set up the second section to match you can hear the drag of John's voice in the second section
Thank you for sharing your thoughts, it’s great to be reminded what talent the Beatles were, so many tacks, you could be doing this for some time!
Certainly picked a good bunch. 3 of the best, and Lady Madonna... Here's a good 4: 'I've Just Seen A Face'; I Am The Walrus; 'For No One'; Happiness Is A Warm Gun'.
Paul lost his mom when he was a boy. Her name was Mary.
I hope to see more video the beatles great reaction
You’ve got really good insights and it’s a great experience seeing you dig into an album I’ve loved for years!
Thank you!
The atmosphere of A Day in the Life does reflect their living at the centre of an incredible fame hurricane for 6-8 years ...
Within You Without You I'd think you'd like for the next one. Something completely different from anything that went before, with amazingly wise lyrics.
Brilliant analysis 👏 😅 thanks man 🙏💙
Thank you for watching! 😊
The first three videos got blocked, so I had to blur them. Sorry!

ADIML stroke of genius of the Beatles. At the time, some parents were panicking because of Strawberry, Walrus and LucyDS. Only Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da they allowed me to buy when I was 12 years old. Then I became a real Beatles fan. In my mania they parted. My lesson since then: not to concern myself too much with the biography of an artist, only the music counts for me.
e.g. since I saw the Eagles documentary, I can no longer listen to Hotel California without worrying (oppressive procurement trip).
Lady Madonna was used in Grace Under Fire
Hope you do more!
Loved it
Many many props to producer george martin. He knew how to put music to the beatles thoughts🤘❤️
A Day In The Life probably has the longest ring out in history.
Really enjoyable reactions. I sounds to me like the high harmony on the "see how they run" part of Lady Madonna is actually George. Also, the dream section after "and I fell into a dream" line in A Day in the Life sounds like George, which would tie in with Paul meeting him on the top floor of the double decker on the way to school, which is apparently the inspiration for that part. There's always a Beatles nut around when you need one!
The A Day in the Life dream section is Paul. If you look up the isolated dream section without effects, it’s clearly Paul
These songs were recorded after they gave up touring & live performances. Up until then, they cranked out 2 albums a YEAR, plus an insane concert schedule. Now you’re lucky if an artist puts out an album in 2 years.. Sgt Pepper’s was the first time, they got to take their time & experiment….
I'd like to give you a couple of Beatles suggestions. I believe there is a video for a song called Rain. And there's a video of them playing Revolution, there is a fun TV video of them playing an older song called Day tripper, You can get some concert video taping of them doing one of their first songs, All my Loving, You can find concert video of Paul alone on stage singing one of their most famous songs Yesterday.
That being said there are so many album only Great songs that you should listen to.
Helter Skelter
I Want You (She's So Heavy)
Come Together
Sargent Peppers Lonly Hearts Club Band
Played with the next one
they blend together no break
With A Little Help From My Friends
I Am theWalrus (video is available)
I suggest you do more Beatles work they are the most popular band ever. By now you see why.
Phil Spector layered a load of sickly strings and brass over a lot of the Let It Be album after the Beatles broke up, and at John's request, before the album's release.
The original 'Sergeant Peppers Lp! Had a strange groove in the vinyl!!
The LP would never stop!
You had to get up and turn it off!
And I believe that it was saying
'Acid helps your Mind '
But it is from one of my previous Lives!!
Along time ago!
And I could have been mistaken all these decades!
But I don't think I was!!.....
Oh lord. When you get around to listening to Helter Skelter😮
The drums were the Starr of the show😅
Happy birthday to Ringo today!
We can't see the videos -believe that you can. That's alright, as I've been a fan of The Beatles since 1978 -Welcome to the group! 😀
(and your concern for Paul's safety in the tree -it's John who isn't sharing the tree.
Great video tho😂😂❤❤❤❤
Another good mix of 4 songs would be:
Rocky Raccoon
Maxwell's Silver Hammer
Octopus's Garden
Yesterday (live version from Blackpool Night Out 1965)
PART 3
John song, then a John song with one section by Paul, then a Paul song, then a Paul song.
Listen to some more Beatles, this is fun
11:32 You'll definitely want to check out Maxwell's Silver Hammer.
Why? Lol
for the next one I suggest Penny Lane, Hello Goodbye, Paperback Writer and Revolution. Two of the best aren‘t on youtube tho (I Am The Walrus and All You Need Is Love). Keep the Beatles episodes going!
11:30 lmaooo
Lady Madonna over Hey Bulldog?!??😭whose choice was that???
No we want you to do them all. All 200 songs.
😁
Love your videos! Recommend:
Julia
Something
Yellow Submarine
Yesterday
Dear Prudence
George Martin doing a little backmasking in the song???
✌️+❤
💯🎶👏❤️🔥
Strawberry Fields is a trip isn't it? The lyrics are so John Lennon People could listen to that 20 or 30 times and still not know quite what he's talking about.
Made you think eh!
Yeah, the Let It Be version of the songs are a mess. You might wanna listen to the versions on "Let It Be... Naked", which is a relatively newer mix without all the stuff Phil Spector added without asking for any approval or second opinions. Which pissed the hell off of Paul, him being the control freak he is. Let It Be... Naked was released in 2003 and ostensibly it really is a more stripped version of it and, frankly, much better without that whole wall of sound. Let It Be, as a song, specifically suffers from so many sounds being added to the track, and breathes much better without the whole orchestral chaos in the original release.
Anyway, your reaction to A Day In The Life is EVERYTHING. That's exactly the face I think I made when I listened to it the first few times lol that crescendo was Paul's idea inspired by his hyperfixation with avant-garde music of the time, and he went at it in his incredibly chaotic way - just told the musicians in the orchestra that they should play it by starting from their instruments' lower note to the highest and go at their own pace in a completely free way, which they Did Not Like, so George Martin (who was the Beatles' producer) just wrote some sheet music for them. Also I love how Paul and John had two songs they liked but they only had pieces of, so they went "ok, let's just put them together". and it works. It all works so incredibly well, it's insane.
Listening to these four songs, you'd get kind of a distorted idea of what the Beatles' music is like. The only one that even comes close to rock is "Lady Madonna" and it's not a very good song. The Beatles were primarily rock'n rollers who tried some other things later in their career. The only thing whoever is advising you probably knows about the 60s is that it's the decade when their grandparents were born. Your might want to try a few songs from the first four years of their career.
Hey Bulldog
Penny Lane
I Saw Her Standing There (Live)
Hello Goodbye
Let it Be has 2 versions, but the single that came out first, had no orchestra, choirs, and horns and the guitar solo was less of a standout. History has overshadowed and thrown out the single version, which was more spiritual than this overproduction IMO. Phil Spector was given the tapes by Lennon, with no consultation with the others, flor the whole album to monkey with, Producer George Martin had done the single, and THAT's the first one ANYONE ever heard in Spring 1970, and it went to #1 EVERYONE was in awe of that version. Billy Preston, African American keyboardist played the organ parts and possibly the electric piano, while Paul played the grand piano, John the bass, George the guitar and Ringo the drums.
Billy Preston is also on the album version. And I think Paul ereased Johns bass part in january 1970 when the last three Beatles (except John) finished the song with new bass and backing vocals by Paul, George and Linda that you hear on the single version. Besides that I still like the album version more, especially for the George solo he changed. That version would have been on their hit compilations.
I'm guessing you're watching
Nice work, young man. The Beatles changed everything including the classical music scene. I think you would really love and appreciate "The Medley" from Abby Road. Just make sure its in proper order as there is an incrrectly ordered 'version' on TH-cam. It really delights me to see reactions like yours. Great work!
Thank you so much!!
@@PancakeMarshmallowDude You are more than welcome. Cheers, my man!
Lady Madonna over Hey Bulldog?!??😭whose choice was that???
