Harrison said: "I didn't mind not being on the record, because it was none of my business … If it had been 'The Ballad of John, George and Yoko', then I would have been on it."
@@Loganmanko
But this song was played by only John and Paul.
I want to hear the ballad of john george and yoko now
Harrison was kind of jelous? A truly spiritual man...
I didn't mind not being on the record either .... eh, go figure.
It’s a great little line from George. It’s funny how everyone projects themselves into the Beatles stuff. If you are over 40, How many friends do you have from age 19? That’s what I thought
True story: John and Paul did this song. John played guitar and Paul played drums. John turns to Paul and says, Go a bit faster, RINGO! Paul replies, Okay, GEORGE!
-they we're soulmates, actually, this is not the Beatles, this is the Nerk Twins playing.
@@reijosalminen7502 wait what?
Ringo was in Sardinia when this was recorded. When you became a Beatle "Expert" better do some research. they did everything with NO ONE else in the room.
Hahaha!
@@reijosalminen7502 They had reunions several times in the relationship.
TWINS being a critical word.
You and I have memories
Longer than the road that stretches out ahead......
John and Paul were really made to work together.
wow youi're a genius I never would have guessed
Shut up no one likes a smart arse
I thought they have never worked together before. Thanks for enlightening me!
Two geniuses, it's too bad they didn't stick together.
So top legal beijos
The fact Paul helped John with this song, and much later on, helped Yoko repair her marriage to John following the "lost weekend," reveals so many sweet layers to their friendship. Paul was always a real friend to John and all the people touched by him, no matter what.
Yes I agree Paul McCartney was a great friend to John Lennon.Paul McCartney is very kind
Depends where you're standing and the perspective you see from there
"I think that people sometimes forget, than I'm the biggest John Lennon fan of all!" - Paul McCartney
"Paul was always a real friend to John and all the people touched by him, no matter what."
except pete best.
Ja, ja, ja Paul und John waren immer und zu jeder Zeit Freunde. Die Medien haben es anders und falsch dargestellt.
Hard to believe The Beatles made so much great music in such a relatively short space of time. Less than seven years. Unbelievable.
Great point. They recorded so many classics that you'd swear they were around for decades together.Amazing.
Yes - that’s what is the most amazing thing about them. It was like 8 years and the made so many great songs
I always think of this song with Creeque Alley-Mama's And The Papa's & I Dig Rock And Roll Music-Peter,Paul & Mary. Great spontaneous sounding story songs...that just flow effortlessly.
@@kmckenna45 no, it was from July 1962 - August 1969 .. that's their RECORDING career. 7 years.
true
That's how much of a friend Paul was. Even tho he didn't quite agree with the yoko thing he still helped john record the song and did the backing vocals! Lennon and Mccartney 4ever
ROAD To The Top wrote and record it lol Love the two of 'em
Good observation. I also think that Paul saw how happy she made John and so he had a bit of a soft spot for that part of her.
Paul loved John about as much as John loved Paul brothers forever
Rafael Sandrini de Oliveira think despite the issues they forgot them had a good laugh and recorded it like they use to. Didn’t last but nice to know anyway
McCartney also played drums on this song. Ringo was making a film and George was producing an album.
A bit of trivia....
John and Paul were the only two Beatles playing on this.
Paul played all the percussion and piano and backing vocals and bass obviously.
John on lead.
George was out of town and Ringo was probably drinking.
George was on vacation, rings was making a movie
Trevor Perry and drinking
Now that's what I call friendship
George was visiting the United States and Ringo was filming The Magic Christian with Peter Sellers.
Thats where the "he's not even the best drummer in the beatles" comes from
Still blows my mind that this was a Beatles song.
True!!!
Feel that way about Maxwell's Silver Hammer.
@@NormAppleton Granny music
Beatles is evertthing , boys
Great song! Sorry you can't hear that!
"The way things are going, they are gonna crucify me". Unfortunately, he was right.
Teresa Gomes shit I didn’t think of that. RIP John.
Teresa Gomes Christ you know it ain't easy! Stop. Think! Instant karma's gonna get you!
true...
Noah He didn’t mean literally. He’s referring to how he and Yoko are relentlessly bullied. Just like Yoko is still bullied 50 years after this was made. I do hope you were joking. But yes he’s the second coming of Christ lol
It wasn't they though, just a lunatic, who should never have gotten a gun from Hawaii to the mainland. Lennon died a martyr though shot in the back by a coward.
"Drum faster Ringo.""OK George."
That's Paul on drums.
Pat Petrelli ya and
@@516choochoo Yeah. thats the joke. John and Paul jokingly said that while recording.
legend words
what time? xd
1:18 - 1:28
omg wtf was that xD
Paul representing every cigarette addict trying to quit lmao
Then he hops back onto smoking a few months later
Ha ha ha!
Okey p por
No, it was days later
Thanks for the clarification dude
Considering this song was done by John Lennon and Paul McCartney with no Ringo or George Harrison, it's amazing. They certainly were phenomenal in every way.
The Nurk Twins ...
Hell, Paul has made THREE entire albums where he wrote every song and played EVERY instrument!
@@baviation1872 Paul was the best bassist, guitarrist, singer and drummer of the Beatles; a brilliant musician. His biggest fault were his sometimes lousy lyrics.
All the Beatles ages today
Paul: 82
John 83
Ringo 83
George 80
John will be 80 soon. 🥺😭 That’s so sad that he won’t enjoy his 80th birthday with his friends
it’s just sad the fact that Paul lasted twice as john😢
The month when John death was same month when Colonel Sanders KFC death that I know...
They are young boys still.
Jasmine Day well John turned 80 yesterday
The Ballad Of John And Yoko.... and Paul plays everything in it....
Except the lead vocals
Unless he imitated John's voice
Paul has gained so much musical talent he can know imitate other people's voices. He's unstoppable.
He played bass and drums- The guitars are played by Lennon
Lennon wrote the lyrics , Chords , and Play guitar and percussion in this song , the rest is Paul
That’s not true. Check your research... John plays both guitars and Paul plays drums and bass
I love how Paul's harmony sneaks in gradually until he's just ripping it up at the end.
If you pay attention, this happens with frequence on many Beatles songs
@Liam Chave I Want to Hold Your Hand and Nowhere Man for example
So true. They always played great together, but when that McCartney Lennon harmony kicks in in any of their songs it just soars into beyond the divine. Love to you and all the great people here!
This, combined with how the drums also get crazier every section is one of the main reasons this song is so great
42 years gone, but never forgotten. RIP John.
Sometimes I think I’m leading his life for him.
Except for the zillions of dollars.
Absolutely spot on totally brilliant music. Will never be forgotten
@@Penfold497 and the sincere lack of talent
@@Stantheman848 well, you’ve got me there
42 years already? Lord I'm old.
2:26 I love Paul’s vocals “You know it ain’t EASY!” “You know how hard it can BE!”
He and Lennon both as well as the Beatles in general were genius at harmonizing. I agree totally with you on this. I love the song which song wrote on his own...but Paul's contribution in playing drums and the bass are great and his harmonizing at the end just adds a heavy bit of icing to the cake. I just love his harmonizing at the end of the song. And I'm not a big McCarthney fan either. Still...his bass playing on this song is amazing and his drumming works. It's a great song and John and Paul once again display their genius in how the were able to immediately record with just themselves doing it all. Peace.
Paul’s backing vocals made the song great.
@@giltovar6531 Get off it. If his vocals were not there it would still be a great song.
My thoughts exactly.Great minds an all that 💖
Dylanesque
“They look just like two gurus in drag”. Best line.
Paul D'Argent, I said I'm only tryin to get me some peace, has my vote.
"The man in the mac said 'You got ta go back'." has always been my favorite line of this song - for years I thought he sang "The Man and the Mac...", referring to authorities and Paul. Only when I learned that a mac(intosh) is a raincoat did the line make real sense to me, and for that reason it has stuck with me since.
They littarly sang the line, while I read this xD
Self aware
@@noremorsewoodworking2258 Just shows how younger people, or those not from the UK, often don't get - unless, like you, they take the trouble to piece together - references that are automatic to those of us who were around at the time. I guess it's why, massively popular as they still are, the Beatles don't register with a lot of younger folk.
2:02 - Ringo: "Did I leave the oven on this morning"???
🤣
Hahaha!!! Love.
On this video he looks like he’s dead inside😂💀🥺
🤣🤣
Then he fades away
This is one of my favorite Beatles song. John’s voice is so distinct. Love his voice.
You're not alone. I have a many "favorites" but this is probably at the top, which doesn't make sense to a lot of people, but if you get it, you get it.
And it's only John and Paul!
Is it actually a Beatles song?
@@StevenCarinci Yes, by name but not including two members of the Beatles
It's a good song
I think this song is proof that how McCartney loves Lennon
Why?😞
@@lunarods5466 because isnt this song about John and Yoko so Paul didnt have to sang this song
@@sinemamudavimi9906 It is a beatles song, doesn't care It was about John and Yoko. Martha my dear is a beatles song and its about his dog
@@ivamenolike6393 dude I want to mean like George probably hated this song but Paul plays literally everything but rhythm guitar
Vergi Soru Cevap Paul didn’t play rhythm guitar and didn’t play lead. John did. And George didn’t hate it. Why do you think that?
Lennon and McCartney were the greatest song writing duo in the history of Rock. They accomplished in 1 decade what many other bands never accomplish in a lifetime in music.
Yeah it's unfathomable really. The Beatles have a joy and brilliance no words can describe. What's even more amazing is how did they write all those classics with the press and everyone in their face 24/7?
Actually what they accomplished in one year few bands would achieve.
Actually Holland,Dozier & Holland of Motown produced far more music that Lennon&McCartney and more hits. They were writing for The 4Tops, The Supremes, Marvin Gaye, The Temptations, Martha & The Vandellas etc;
@@humandroid53 fr the revolver sgt pepper year , both albums within a year of each other, if bands had the amount of success those two albums did that’d be a successful career
Dylan alone beats them both by far.
2:03 Ringo's face says it all
Mad bored tryna let John have his moment! 😂
@@lastnamefirstname9695 Anyway I don´t like that Japonese. She is awful and caused their separation.
@@amagnifica Me too
George and Ringo didn't play at all in this song. It was all John and Paul.
@@amagnifica you never knew her and all 4 of them said she didn't break up the Beatles so you are wrong there too
The Beatles are the best band ever. I listen to this song every day. Never tire of it. This song would be a top 5 hit even today.
Yes. Well it was no. 1 then, after all.
A Beatles song every day is good. Never a bad one. Even,'You Know My Name,Look Up The Number'.🇬🇧📻
This is the song I like among many songs from the Beatles loop
Omg! It’s so funny when folks say that. Until the next one comes along. As Sonny and Cher would say; “The Beat Goes On”! 🤣🤣😊😊
What a hit? Nobody buys records anymore
It's so easy to forget this is actually a Beatles song.
Paul and John - The Ballad of John and Yoko
the music is good
This song has nothing to do with the Beatles. It's John's indulgence, propped up by Paul playing the instruments.
Hardly a classic rock or love song, nothing more than a travelogue. Not as easy to forget as many would like.
@@owenwilliams105 You're angry that the song is catchy? 😂
@@gorgolyt Why would anyone be angry because a song is catchy? Your comment doesn't make sense.
This could’ve been released today and still holds up.
SHATAPP
@@Nick80082 but its true
Sarcastic Mike yeah it’s true
EnderSam2249 yeah it’s true
Hiccoughs Official I know it’s true
The blending of Lennon & McCartney harmony is music to my ears
No-one did it better
And then there's this...

th-cam.com/video/HdZ9weP5i68/w-d-xo.html
That's THE BEATLES
Yes I agree a great harmony John Lennon and Paul McCartney great singers
The magic of the Beatles is in the layering of those vocals.
SOMENTE ESTAO PAUL E JOHN NOS VOCAIS!!! JOHN FAZ AS DUAS GUITARRAS, E PAUL O BAIXO E A BATERIA!!! OS OUTROS DOIS ESTAVAM DE FERIAS, NO DIA DA GRAVAÇAO!!!!
They can’t do it today
@@adalorusso3816 Neither can Bach, Beethoven, Sinatra and Presley but that doesn't detract from their greatness. What else ya got?
The best band this planet will ever see. Thank you beatles .
They were definitely the best of their time,but there's lots of terribly good music these days...
@@luciusjamalgreye Nothing like The Beatles, it's criminal to say the opposite
@@franciscoespejolopez7271 uh huh.
You're a shoe salesman. What do you know about music? 😉
@@luciusjamalgreye Are you crazy! There's absolutely no one even close to The Beatles around today.
That break at 1:42 blows my mind every time.
THINK
Isnt it because the wind is high?
I like that part also
The first time I heard the song in TH-cam,I thought the Think was an advert
it's cool af
That probably came from Yoko. You have to appreciate every influence.
Man I’ll never get sick of Paul’s vocals on this. That bass line too 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
John on vocals
@@donwhitlock3216 johns vocals go hard but the harmony w john and paul together is my favorite part of the song
@@donwhitlock3216 he meant Paul’s backing
It's John singin
PAUL BACKGROUND VOCALS
The everlasting Beatles❤
That bass line... I could listen to it for hours!
Like Level 42... 😁
It's damn good !! xxx
So good!!!
Paul's famous Hoffner bass. When they first came to the U.S. and were on Ed Sullivan (old black and white TV in the early '60's; I'm 69 now!) I was just a kid who liked them a lot. I later in my teens became a big fan. Anyhow, I often wandered why Paul played his guitar on the "opposite side" of everyone else. Someone told me he was a "leftie" and that's how lefties play a guitar. A few years later and and still a big fan, I almost wore out my 8 track tape (anyone remember those?) of "Abbey Road".
Yeah that bass line always drew me in
This song was recorded without George Harrison (who was on holiday) and Ringo Starr (who was filming The Magic Christian). McCartney recalls that Lennon had a sudden inspiration for the song and had suggested that the two of them should record it immediately, without waiting for the other Beatles to return.
John Lennon - lead vocal, lead guitars, acoustic guitar, percussion
Paul McCartney - harmony vocal, bass, drums, piano, maracas
CORRECT
I've read that during a take John said to Paul(on drums) "Go a bit faster, Ringo!", and Paul replied "Ok, George!". Oh, to be a fly on the wall.....
I thought you were talking about George's this song lol
What an awesome band, making this song and sounding like all of them were there in the studio. The Beatles were just the best band to come out of the 60's.
Mike Bonita, If you don't mind me saying so, the best band ever!
You know it’s a good day when multiple Beatles vids end up in my sub feed :)
Especially when you know they won't get taken down in a short period of time

Lyrics:
"Standing in the dock at Southampton
Tryin' to get to Holland or France
The man in the mac said, "You've got to go back"
You know, they didn't even give us a chance
Christ, you know it ain't easy
You know how hard it can be
The way things are going
They're going to crucify me
Finally made the plane into Paris
Honey mooning down by the Seine
Peter Brown called to say
"You can make it OK
You can get married in Gibraltar, near Spain"
Christ, you know it ain't easy
You know how hard it can be
The way things are goin'
They're going to crucify me
Drove from Paris to the Amsterdam Hilton
Talking in our beds for a week
The newspapers said, "Say what you doing in bed?"
I said, "We're only trying to get us some peace"
Christ, you know it ain't easy
You know how hard it can be
The way things are goin'
They're going to crucify me
Saving up your money for a rainy day
Givin' all your clothes to charity
Last night the wife said, "Oh boy, when you're dead
You don't take nothing with you but your soul
Think"
Made a lightning trip to Vienna
Eating chocolate cake in a bag
The newspapers said, "She's gone to his head
They look just like two gurus in drag"
Christ, you know it ain't easy
You know how hard it can be
The way things are goin'
They're going to crucify me
Caught the early plane back to London
50 acorns tied in a sack
The men from the press said, "We wish you success
It's good to have the both of you back"
Christ, you know it ain't easy
You know how hard it can be
The way things are goin'
They're going to crucify me
The way things are goin'
They're going to crucify me"

Oct 9 2019. Happy Birhday John. Love and Peace for ever.
Nice

Peace for everyone!! The world really need it. LOVE and PEACE!!!
Wow i did not know that john and I share the same birthday
MemeGuy 7726
Really??? Oh man!! That’s great. Congratulations.
John for ever!!!!!! I really love you, I really miss you!
The title should have been "The Ballad of John and Paul".
yesss!!!
Why? Because they were the only musicians on the record? I mean, the lyrics aren't about them. They are about the trials and tribulations of John and Yoko, after all.
Mr22thou I agree with you...should have been called “The ballad of John and the Greatest Session Player on the planet (Paul)”
@@Oh_I_Will Oh I love (Paul)
You're adding fuel to the fire that John Lennon was 🏳️🌈 😆
The ballad of John and Yoko:
Paul, George, Ringo: 😑
No Ringo.
Brilliant song Darling
“Christ you know it ain’t easy!” You said it, John. ❤
Blasphemy is wrong..
Love John's vocals on this one, and McCartney's harmonies are flawless as usual.
It's been said millions of times by now...but I'll say it again.
These guys were geniuses.
And then there's this... th-cam.com/video/T4K07Kz7M8Q/w-d-xo.html
Add to it this... th-cam.com/video/HdZ9weP5i68/w-d-xo.html
Yes I agree genius awesome singer and song writers John Lennon and Paul McCartney
Aye your right, They weren't bad.
@@lisaparsons4124 Agreed miss Lisa ,,They performed here way back July 1966, and I'm only 8 yo and my elder brother mentioned that Paul McCartney had no negative comments to our country(Philippines🇵🇭). Since then at my young age I idolized him and mastered all his songs in my videoke...thanks God Bless U....
I've always wanted to visit Austria and if I ever do, I'm going to Vienna and eating a slice of chocolate cake out of a bag just because of this song.
They were actually in a bag when they ate the cake. I imagine, being in Vienna, it was sacher-torte.
You can do it!
I Love ❤️ that type of Cake 🎂 $ !
Torte reform !
Vienna Choco Ration Cake 🎂 🥮 🍥 !
Double Plus ➕️ Good 👍
He meant they were in a sleeping bag dude not that the cake was in a bag
@@matthewclark8373 I know lol but I don't own a sleeping bag so this is the best best thing.
"Last night the wife said. oh boy when your dead, you won't take nothing with you but your soul." One of my favorite lyrics of all time. It truly is revealing.
Songs like this make love Lennon
THINK
Are you sure you get to take your soul with you?
They're gonna crucify me is also quite revealing.
@@jonnysupreme hey, I read it when John sang it, thanks!
The era of the Beatles was indeed the high water mark for music, art and culture in the history of the human species.
paul's vocals man man man he's the best backing vocals ever
true, and John is the best Rock Lead singer ever. Together the greatest
Paul's solo albums had the best backing vocals
Linda!
@@marcocardia3960 Linda was good but common now
Paul’s a better singer than Lennon period! Macca’s range is next level!
@@coopergleason5022Why do you have to compare? And a better range than Bob Dylan too. But I will take Bob Dylan's voice from "Blonde on Blonde" over Michael Bolton any day.
You're John Lennon, you have all these disagreements with Paul, relationship at an all time low, etc... but then when there's music to be made he records your song with you playing all these instruments, godlike vocal armonies and makes the song sound great. How can you not love this guy? it's impossible. I totally love John and his music, but Paul deserves sooo much credit. Genius isn't a big enough word to describe Paul's talent.
They ALL deserve so much credit. And they all get it. There is no underrated Beatle except Ringo and George Martin

looooooove this song ❤
The Beatles were so good, it literally makes me cry sometimes. Not in a sad "we'll never have music this good again" way, but in a happy way. Stevie Wonder is also pretty great.
Decoy Account I’m both sad we’ll never have it again but I’m glad and thankful that we have it now.
Stevie Wonder or
Eivets Rednow was or is pretty great as well.
Did you know he recorded a song under the name Eivets Rednow? Or Stevie Wonder backwards.
He wanted to see if people loved his music or if his being blind was a pity Stevie kind of thing. True story...
How do you het Stevie Wonder out of The Beatles? Stevie is really great. But We will have The Beatles music for eternity as well as solo Beatles.
Stevie is a genius
Music good enough to create that feeling comes along every couple decades or so; I feel the same way about Elliott Smith. If you’re looking for some Beatles-level songwriting and arrangements, check out his albums XO and Figure 8
Ringo:😑
George:😐
Paul:😄
John:😆
Yoko :😏
They always were so cute belive it or not.
Great story and song 😀👍

RINGO DIDN'T PLAY DRUMS ON THIS SONG..PAUL MCCARTNEY PLAYED DRUMS AND BASS..

The beatles, the best in 1964 and the best in 2022. I still listen to their music all the time. They are just as relevant today as they were in the 60's. Their message of peace and love will never be obsolete. Its timeless. Love and peace is what everyone wants. Love u Beatles.

Last night the wife said, "Oh boy, when you're dead
You don't take nothing with you but your soul
Think"
Made a lightning trip to Vienna
Eating chocolate cake in a bag
The newspapers said, "She's gone to his head
They look just like two gurus in drag"
Christ, you know it ain't easy
You know how hard it can be
The way things are goin'
They're going to crucify me
Caught the early plane back to London
50 acorns tied in a sack
The men from the press said, "We wish you success
It's good to have the both of you back"
Christ, you know it ain't easy
You know how hard it can be
The way things are goin'
They're going to crucify me
The way things are goin'
They're going to crucify me
OMG, THANKS. PLEASE DON'T STOP!
Anel McCartney gotta say that's a cute profile pic
Bruno Zarate, thanks ^^
That's what she said...
Two of the four Beatles recorded this song. Knocked it out as a single during the Abbey Road sessions, but not on Abbey Road. There was no end to their creativity, even up to the end.
It Proves that "The Two of em" could have carried on making hits, after Ringo& George walked out previously!
@@tgray119 Yes, but John wanted to move into his cathartic and social commentary stage and he could not do that in the Beatles. Look at John solo work and it's much more personal and insightful in terms of the human condition.The entire plastic Ono band record, was Written following intensive and eEmotionally disturbing "primal scream therapy". In the Beatles, John's work is highly original maverick, Artistically and structurally brilliant both lyrically and musically, but surface level, in terms of semantic depth. In fact "all" of the Beatles work except nowhere man, in my life, yesterday, and a couple of others was brilliant in its originality, genre spanning, execution (on the ear) and structural innovation, but not particularly authentic, or deep in its Semantics
This is a Criticism that Lou Reed made in the early Seventies of the Beatles. He Called their music "garbage", because it wasn't really saying anything authentic, just like he called everyone's music garbage 🤣 except the Velvet Underground. Although, you may say who is he to say anything, as a banal artist, but one thing you can't say about Lou is that he wasn't authentic, or writing from his soule, even though the results were not easy on the ear.
Within a decade of their solo work, he called "mother" 1 of the greatest tracks ever written and played A rendition of "jealous guy" at the John Lennon tribute concert. Lou had entirely changed his opinion on John's body of work, if no one else's
Pete feels the music he creates ❤️
CAN WE TAKE A MINUTE TO APPRECIATE HOW GOOD LOOKING PAUL IS IN THIS
Nour Amr lord Jesus. I’m a John girl, but Paul is looking pretty perfect.
Amen to that
"Beatle Mania", all over again!!
1:25
peak gorgeous
1:20. Paul is such a wise man. Look at how he protects himself. He was up to light the cigarette but then thought about it again.
Idk why I like this song so much
Sampatha Sampath wtf is that
Because it doesn't have a shitty annoying hooky chorus. Every verse sounds different and he doesn't repeat any of the lines except for the main chorus. It's just all brilliance
Johan Villaseñor Because it's The Beatles, enough said!
I'm no. fan of John lennon but this song will get one tapping, bobbing and singing...great story, great song
Beautiful Beautiful Beautiful
John (On Guitar) : Go a bit faster, Ringo!
McCartney (On Drums) : OK, George!
Rest In Peace John. Your soul rocks on in us all.
1 of the best n world. All. R. Great
Yes John Lennon awesome singer and song writer alot of awesome songs
@@lisaparsons4124 yes undeed
Chapman killed his body. Nothing could kill his soul
Well said...
there are so many 'get back' scenes here, it's amazing how Peter Jackson restored them flawlessly
The morph of the Beatles in just six years was just incredible!
Musically and appearance wise.
Just incredible.
That is so true.
Yeah, George said that in the 60’s, for them, 1 year was like 10 years
No hay que ignorar que gran parte de la transformación de debe al 5to Beatle: George Martin
Esa pequeña parte de mi vida se llama felicidad :')
Te creo amig@!
Exacto, aunque falta I am the walrus,A day in the life,I want to hold your hand y más xD
Sii
😍😍😍😍😍
grande inglatera buena musica aca cumbia y reggetone AJ AJ AJ AJ AJ
Looks like they are not gonna let me sleep today, but I'm really pretty tired.
Good night to all the Beatles fans all over the world.
Dhammadeep Bhagat goodnight
Geoff Emerick's book (after describing how dire some sessions were): "On this one day, they reverted to being two old school chums, all the nastiness of recent months swept under the rug... It was a great session, one of those magic times when everything went right and nothing went wrong. The whole record was completed in just a few hours, from start to finish, including the mix --- just like the good old days.... they made for a great two-man band. It was so refreshing to see Paul and John in good spirits and not arguing."
John and Paul did the whole song. No one else, classic example of friends working together. ❤
I like it when everytime John says "Christ", there's a warning sign. Well, you can obviously tell why.
HAHAHAHAH I just noticed that. XD Can you tell me why? I'm doubting.

H o l l i e , ʼ - because it’s blasphemy. That was a much bigger deal at the time. You didn’t hear that language in music.

The next: Let it be Please
No Let It Be sucks, I like this song
very catchy song! i bet this band gonna be huge! 👉
oh that's funny
Where have you been?😂
Are you serious? ...
Ah yes The Beatles, the least known band in the world
Hell it was a number 1 hit in 1969. Coming up on 50 years old in May 2019. But if you just discovered it and the Beatles your in for a treat. Hey Bulldog is another one that is catchy and that's only a scratch of what they recorded as a group, plus what they did ķ
One of my fave John songs.
Ringo.left the chat
George.left the chat
joined the chat Ringo McCartney
joined the chat George Lennon
2:34 I'm guessing that that is the same jacket that John wore during the rooftop concert.
Haha
"Hey, Yoko, can you fix my fur coat?"
"HeHeehHeeEHhheE Yeah"
Skippy Bean the coat was yoko’s. As the coat that ringo wore at the rooftop was from maureen
Just goes to show that Paul and John were so amazing together. Recording the song in a night with just the 2 of them.
Such a masterpiece of music...the bass, the drums, guitar, piano, vocals, lyrics, all top notch....
The Ballad Of John & Yoko features a spectacular bassline by the one and only Paul McCartney!
"The way things are going
They’re gonna crucify me." is quite the prophetic lyric.
Ballad of John & Yoko is my favorite Beatles song
OOoo I KKkkkkknnnooowww... Then there's this... th-cam.com/video/T4K07Kz7M8Q/w-d-xo.html
Please don't stop, don't stop!
Paul's bass playing ,drumming, backing vocals, piano and maraccas make this record!
Umm don't forget who wrote and sings the song.
@@andrescarrero8152 Hi Andres, I didn't forget that, but the fact still remains.
@@andrescarrero8152 Will never forget that, Paul always the working to make things as great as they could be. He has never stopped working and still at it 2021. th-cam.com/video/AIp8ElF8kjo/w-d-xo.html
The seventh in a day? HALLELUJAH EVERYBODY!
I hope they upload more tomorrow, but this is probably a rare occurrence and they're gonna take a year to upload the next ones
I have always wondered if young people understand just how great music was from the late 50's to the late 70's and the Beatles were in the thick of it all and when they all went solo they continued with hits INCREDIBLE!!
And to think all this music was created without all the electronic devices used in today's recordings! Music during this era was the real deal.
No Robert they don't realize anything Feel sorry for them the music today is PITIFUL I wouldn't have wanted to live without hearing this music
@@carolhill9278 Like the singer with the national anthem
*please upload "I Am The Walrus" next!*
Nurpus please please
Pleaseeeeeeeeee
Nurpus I'm Only Sleeping
Nurpus YEEES
Yeahhhhhh
More than fifty years are passed away since then. Yet their music is still marvalleous!
Would give anything to see footage of Paul playing those drums. ...
I used to think so too but i've come to appreciate it more and more. It's a great little number
No thanks, I have enough listen to Paul atacking monotonically that poor drums 😁
Hes good at the kit but hes no ringo
@@davidcalderon7724 I think Ringo wouldn't play much differently in this song. They were both competent enough as drummers for the music of the Beatles.
Funnily enough John once was asked was Ringo one of the best drummers In the world ,,John replied he's not even the best drummer in the Beatles lol 😂
What an addictive song
I love the Beatles music 🥰 I love John's voice 💗
John's voice is to love
what else is there other than John's Voice?
oh wait, isn't he dead?
Oh no!
Thank goodness for magnetism
I have always loved John Lennon I thought of how happy I was to purchase the milk and honey album May God bless John and the rest of the Beatles. May all live forever.
Yes I agree 💯 John Lennon awesome singer and Paul McCartney and song writers
Paul’s backing vocals are 🔥🔥🔥
I was only singing this todav as I was cleaning up. God John was a major talent.
Now I will have this in my head for days. Lol 😁
Paul is the major of the Quartet
john wrote the song its Paul playing all the instruments on this
@@NUS01 Both John and Paul worked well together. 👍
One of the best original song recorded in the spur of a moment when the composer still feel the spirit of the song. Yeah emotion is needed even by one of the greatest singers ever.
Most creative band on the planet !
Dragon - mil50010 Queen only had one genius and the beatles three
Dragon - mil50010 theres a difference between a good songwriter and a genius after freddy died everybody knew Queen was over,after The Beatles were over Harrison and Mccartney were two of the most iconic singers and songwriters of the 70's that's a genius ...Lennon turn to politic but still wrote a lot of good songs,it's amazing how after 8 years writing hit after hit they still make amazing songs ...that's a genius.
Dragon - mil50010 i heard those songs a lot of times...don't get me wrong i respect all the members of queen they are great musicians but only freddy had that imagination and talent that only a genius has
the really special thing about queen was freddy's voice and the really creative thing they did was bohemian rhapsody, i listen to them i like them but their work doest come close to stuff like sgt pepper's lonely hearts club band or some of the other stuff like abbey road or revolver the beatles had such a huge body of work tried so many different styles did a ton of innovative and obscure stuff and their influence did reached out beyond just the music. Queen are good but they arent the beatles.
Dragon
Queen vs Beatles for creativity, c'mon, no comparison. Beatles well over 100 great songs - Queen under 15
I miss my old man brother, I can't listen to old music if it's not loud, so here I am listening to this with earbuds with the volume on full blast
