Um, except Maxwell's Silver Hammer. A goofy song about a serial killer that does his damage with a hammer. URG! George had 2 dozen sterling songs in his hip pocket that he put on "All things must pass." Any number of them would have been totally better than Maxwell on the album. Just say'n.
@@martinhenderson8636 They hated "Ob-La-Di Ob-La-Da" too, and that's fantastic, so what do they know? If it wasn't for Paul, they would've never left the Cavern Club...
It will blow our mind how many deep cut tracks are bangers as much as hit singles. About 95% of them. Very little throw away tracks. 211 song catalog in a 8 year window. 186 of those written by them. It's incredible.
On Abbey Road , side one, track 4 ,we have this awesome track with Paul McCartney singing his socks off, and with Ringo's superlative drumming. Then, on side two, we get The Abbey Road Medley. What an album.
Paul is the vocal chameleon in the band. He has like 4 distinct singing styles with varying timbre and range. For a sample of what they sound like, check out the following Beatles' songs: * I've Got a Feeling - He and John go back and forth, but Paul reigns supreme * Get Back - Paul intentionally made himself sound nasally here * I Will - A lovely ballad and soothing vocals (hear the bass vocals) * Helter Skelter - Many say this is the precursor to the heavy metal genre * Lady Madonna - A little alto, a little rock * Kansas City - He drew inspiration from Little Richards * Honey Pie - Paul dreamt of writing show tunes * Rocky Raccoon - Western movies tribute * Why Don't We Do It in the Road - Pure rock * You Know My Name (Look Up the Number) - A nice mashup of his vocal ability I thank my older brothers and uncles for exposing me to The Beatles music when I was very young. Proud 38-year old Beatles fan.
This song will get stuck in my head for days sometimes and it's just so so good. And I think the backing vocals on this are pure genius. I follow some reactors who do a ton of Beatles stuff and so they figure out a process of some sort. I definitely heard multiple of them say that it usually takes them about 3 weeks to get a Beatles one up.
This is a track that all four loved, as it harkened back to the 50's vibe of the music they grew up with. I didn't know this until the box set was released a few years ago, but this track features George Harrison on bass (McCartney on piano, Lennon guitar, and Ringo doing an outstanding job on drums).
Ringo's fills are incredible in this song, specially the one just before the chorus. And they're even more impressive when you hear the isolated drum track. Some people say he couldn't play drums, go figure
the problem with the beatles is that each new song you hear becomes your new favorite. this album is virtually flawless. full of surprises, the beatles specialty, innovation and magic. as good as this entire album is it still doesn't equal the absolute joy and perfection as the white album. it remains the absolute best t&r album ever recorded. thanks for the video.
So good! It still amazes me that this group achieved such historic iconic success in 6 years (1964-1970). Its wonderful that this is Sam's fav so far...its a passionate blazer for sure. Great as always!
I'm Down, Helter Skelter, cover of Long Tall Sally & Kansas City/Hey Hey Hey! Paul at one time had a 5 octave range! He can belt it out with the very best or sound quite angelic with his ballads!!!!
This is my 2nd favorite song on the album. My favorite is I Want You/Shes So Heavy. This song is mesmerizing, especially the last few minutes. It draws you in. It is the last song on side one of the album. The Beatles are the only band you really cannot pidgeon hole as their music is incredibly eclectic. Listening to their later albums for the 1st time you never know what you are going to get with the next one.
@johndavids4780 ... it may take a few starts, but see if you can spend time with PET SOUNDS. This is a staggering album that blew down the walls between rock, harmonies and orchestration. (Hey - where the guitar solos?!! Uh... where's the guitars, PERIOD?!!) The opening song is rather trite, at first listens... but by the time I finished Side 2, and restarted Side 1, then it made a lot of sense... it 'fit'. But back to your original argument: 2nd Best next to SHE'S SO HEAVY. Yes... what a luxury to 'have to do battle' between those two songs! Or the White Album's LONG LONG LONG vs. I WILL. Each Beatles album presents me with at least two favorites, and sometimes 4 - two from each 'style'. What a luxury!
Paul wrote this and sings the lead vocal. The background vocals are overdubbed and they include Paul John and George. Ringo is fantastic and he used tea towels on top of the drums to get that sound. Paul’s bass playing is always phenomenal. I highly recommend you do a reaction from The Beatles White Album … The song is called Yer Blues.
Early on, the Beatles performed next to Little Richard, who taught Paul how to wail. Paul always wanted to show he could be a hard blues singer, since his voice was so melodic. one of his lesser known songs features that voice "Monkberry Delight" when he was with Wings
Despite most Beatles songs being written and sung by John and Paul, some of their best were actually written by George.... While My Guitar Gently Weeps being one of them.
You need to check out the whole Abbey Road album and when you get to side two you need to listen to it all together with no stops from "Because" to "The End". Octopuses Garden was actually used on a segment of Sesame Street back in 1971. Maxwells Silver Hammer is fun and two great rockers with Come Together and She's So Heavy. Here Comes The Sun is a beautiful George Harrison song as well.
@kallsop2 It’s hard not to listen to the whole album but I sometimes cue up side 2 just to listen to that amazing run of songs you mentioned. When they get to Mean Mr. Mustard, the medley of ensuing tracks sets the house on fire!!🔥
I had all the Beatles albums from the first Meet the Beatles yes I’m that old. Unfortunately I lost all of them which makes me so sad. Thank you for playing their songs ❤
Another gem from Abby Road is Track 1, Come Together. It's the perfect introduction to a perfect album. Abby Road and Dark Side of the Moon are the two perfect albums of the era imho.
It sounds like they used a slight echo for Paul's vocals in the chorus which sounds very cool. Love that effect! Also, the punchy guitar that pounces on that chord with perfect spacing proves that you don't need some slick, fast filling the air with a gazillion notes to have a great guitar sound in a song. As Miles Davis and Keith Richards have said...."let the notes breathe" and the Beatles showed how right that is in this song.
LOVE this album - particularly the Side Two Medley (YOU NEVER GIVE YOUR MONEY, SUN KING, MEAN MR. MUSTARD, POLYTHENE PAM, SHE CAME IN THROUGH THE BATHROOM WINDOW, GOLDEN SLUMBERS, CARRY THAT WEIGHT, THE END -and wait for it- HER MAJESTY), which must be heard straight thru, non-stop -THEN react. Others have successfully aired it, recently.
This is my favorite Beatles song. Have you seen the movie “Across the Universe”? It is a story told using a variety of Beatles songs. “Oh, Darling” is used as a backdrop to a singing duo couple’s break up. I love the movie and feel the songs are appropriately used for the characters and events.
Desde mis 12 años aprox..siempre e sido un soñador en lo musical gracias a The Beatles y Paul es mi preferido,por su calidad vocal ..imitando su registro...tan mal no lo hice ...esto es un don envidiable y mas aun siendo el un músico nivel The Beatles..saludos.💪🇨🇱
I was 13 in Feb 1964...I still remember the joy and excitement buying my first 45 "I want to hold your hand"... this began my musical journey...and I still remember the lyrics to all their songs...we had Beatle weekends and the radio station played nothing but Beatles music! Glorious time to be a teenager!
I think that despite all the gems that they gave us , Hey Jude , Let It Be , Strawberry Fields , Yesterday , In My Life , this one stands as THE MOST BEAUTIFUL ONE … the drums , the passion , … and the CHORUSES ??? … and THIS INCREDIBLE VOICE ??? JUST AMAZING … STUNNING BEAUTIFUL ❤❤❤ … and he was just 27 … 🙈🙈🙈
I've heard Abbey Road so many times I can play it in order in my head. I actually live at the Abbey Road apartments on Penny Lane in Austin. That album really means a lot to a lot of people. We experienced the songs always flowing into each other, as they were meant to be heard.
It's nice to hear fresh music appreciation perspectives from young individuals however, imagine looking forward to each live concert, their bootlegs and new releases by the Beatles as you were living the history in real time .. moreover, understanding the mindblowing musical epiphanies and banter we enjoyed among the millions worldwide of like minded individuals? ... Let me hear translate all those occurences into your more modern day realizations! 😎
The Abbey Road album is an absolute gem from start to finish.
I Have the Abbey Road pop up card on top of my computer tower , LOL m!!!
Side B greatest song of all time!
My second favorite Beatles album, Revolver being no. 1.
Definitely agree
Abbey road, came out when I was an early teen, it was on very high rotation. For all our teenage get togethers. I stil enjoy it
Paul is tearing it up vocally here! ✌
Absolutely not..shouting doesn't equate to good vocals..to quote ringo 'oh darling is basically just Paul shouting'
@@jadebel7006 respectfully disagree.
Absolutely he is. It's not just shouting when you can keep a melody. It's power.
@@jun6174 agree.
The same voice that gave us “I Will”.
I love this whole album, Abbey Road. They show their respect for blues and soul in this song! Paul really rocks this whole song!
Well, it IS one of the 5 greatest albums ever made by anyone who's ever lived, so yeah, I should think you ought to like it...
Um, except Maxwell's Silver Hammer. A goofy song about a serial killer that does his damage with a hammer. URG!
George had 2 dozen sterling songs in his hip pocket that he put on "All things must pass." Any number of them would have been totally better than Maxwell on the album.
Just say'n.
@@martinhenderson8636 No, the hammer song is brilliant.
@@SpaceCattttt Well I get where you're coming from. I do. But the other 3 Beatles HATED it. Despised it.
@@martinhenderson8636 They hated "Ob-La-Di Ob-La-Da" too, and that's fantastic, so what do they know?
If it wasn't for Paul, they would've never left the Cavern Club...
One week Paul came in every morning and sang this vocal intensely as he could in order to deliberately rough up the sound of his voice; it worked!
You know this how?
@@BillO964it's a pretty well known story
@@BillO964why don't you do some research?
@@BillO964 Wiki is your friend: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oh!_Darling
I heard this information from Peter Asher on the SiriusXM Beatles channel.
It will blow our mind how many deep cut tracks are bangers as much as hit singles. About 95% of them. Very little throw away tracks. 211 song catalog in a 8 year window. 186 of those written by them. It's incredible.
Yup. Pretty legendary and hard to believe!
Another example of Ringo Star's brilliant percussion.
Paul is the best. We’ll never see anyone like him again.
And there's people that don't realize the importance of The Beatles for rock music. This is basically rock, GODDAMNIT!
The Beatles Now and Then is a masterwork. No money grab. Just a damn good performance.
Agree! It’s an unexpected jewel!!
The Beatles were the greatest group that have ever had the liberty to have been recorded and have walked this earth
On Abbey Road , side one, track 4 ,we have this awesome track with Paul McCartney singing his socks off, and with Ringo's superlative drumming. Then, on side two, we get The Abbey Road Medley. What an album.
“You never give me your money
You only give me your funny paper…”
"Oh! Darling" is from the Beatles 1969 album "Abbey Road". It is full of great songs such as "Something", "Here Comes The Sun", "Come Together" etc.
I grew up with the Beatles i think they are the best group ever .
Paul's incredible vocal versatility as a young man. Really amazing and the melody is so beautiful. Absolute classic.
Paul is the vocal chameleon in the band. He has like 4 distinct singing styles with varying timbre and range. For a sample of what they sound like, check out the following Beatles' songs:
* I've Got a Feeling - He and John go back and forth, but Paul reigns supreme
* Get Back - Paul intentionally made himself sound nasally here
* I Will - A lovely ballad and soothing vocals (hear the bass vocals)
* Helter Skelter - Many say this is the precursor to the heavy metal genre
* Lady Madonna - A little alto, a little rock
* Kansas City - He drew inspiration from Little Richards
* Honey Pie - Paul dreamt of writing show tunes
* Rocky Raccoon - Western movies tribute
* Why Don't We Do It in the Road - Pure rock
* You Know My Name (Look Up the Number) - A nice mashup of his vocal ability
I thank my older brothers and uncles for exposing me to The Beatles music when I was very young. Proud 38-year old Beatles fan.
The Beatles at the height of their work!
Certainly one of Paul’s most passionate vocals ever! The range and power is unsurpassed!!
Heavenly, they mesmerize me. They have no peers. ❤😊
Love, love, love the Beatles!! Now, if you want to hear Paul tearing it up even more, listen to "Helter Skelter".
Insanely good Paul vocals! Magnificent album.
This is one of Paul's best ever.
This song will get stuck in my head for days sometimes and it's just so so good. And I think the backing vocals on this are pure genius.
I follow some reactors who do a ton of Beatles stuff and so they figure out a process of some sort. I definitely heard multiple of them say that it usually takes them about 3 weeks to get a Beatles one up.
@Stevedahlberg8680... do you not listen to whole albums, though? Not for reaction videos, but just out of musical curiousity?
This is a track that all four loved, as it harkened back to the 50's vibe of the music they grew up with. I didn't know this until the box set was released a few years ago, but this track features George Harrison on bass (McCartney on piano, Lennon guitar, and Ringo doing an outstanding job on drums).

Ringo is one of the best drummers ever, anyone who claims otherwise is deaf.
the problem with the beatles is that each new song you hear becomes your new favorite. this album is virtually flawless. full of surprises, the beatles specialty, innovation and magic. as good as this entire album is it still doesn't equal the absolute joy and perfection as the white album. it remains the absolute best t&r album ever recorded. thanks for the video.
Me pasa igual ,oigo una y digo oooohh esta es la que más y asi con todas y cada una de ellas
Easily, my favorite album by The Beatles. Paul, just kills the vocals and Ringo showing why he is one of the best ever. Thanks Sam & Phil. 🔥
If you’re going to make a final album, this is how to do it. End with a masterpiece.
A perfect album, if such a thing could exist! 👌👍🧔♀🧑👧🧒
Paul worked on the vocals for this over and over and over again until he got it exactly like he wanted it. Amazing song.
Two other Beatles songs to appreciate the INCREDIBLE voice that Paul had are Helter Skelter and I've Got a Feeling.
So good! It still amazes me that this group achieved such historic iconic success in 6 years (1964-1970). Its wonderful that this is Sam's fav so far...its a passionate blazer for sure. Great as always!
1962-1969.
Yes, we here in the U.S. started late, we missed the first two years, but we caught up, and never looked back. Love The Beatles.
lol you should hear him on "Helter Skelter".
Or Long Tall Sally
@@StevenMichals0812 Or Monkberry Moon Delight lol
@@ericanderson8886 Or temporary secretary 👀
I'm Down, Helter Skelter, cover of Long Tall Sally & Kansas City/Hey Hey Hey! Paul at one time had a 5 octave range! He can belt it out with the very best or sound quite angelic with his ballads!!!!
The second side of this album, with the medley, is absolutely magnificent. No equal before or since.

How about "I Want You (She's So Heavy) from "Abbey Road"?
George plays bass on this one
Paul is on piano
George is playing bass
@@jozefzvala It's doubtful Paul was playing an instrument AND singing at the same time.
Paul belting out the vocals!
It's Paul.. The Best!
Yes I agree. He does something similar on Monkberry Moon Delight.
Paul's voice goes straight up metal in this song and I love it lol
As teens... then. ..we would listen to these tracks and our jaws would just hit the floor! Staggeringly good stuff !!!
Abby Road could be the best overall rock album in history.
It’s up there
Paul could do anything..include belt out the blues! Great pick! The more time passes the more I realize just how great these guys were together.
One of my all favorites from them. Paul has an incredible voice. If you haven't alredy, you should check out Paul singing Maybe I'm Amazed.
Try "Let Me Roll It".
@Bars & Barbells- One of my fav Beatle songs ever and yes this is Paul singing the whole song. He is really showing his range in this one.
Back then, The Beatles were driven by American rock and blues. This song is a perfect example. :)
John wanted so much to sing this song but Paul said ‘my song my voice’.
That rock n roll screaming--Paul picked up a way to mimic Little Richard's style in early performances.
Put this on your list as one of a hundred great Beatles songs!
Such a great song by them. Paul really shines on this. I definitely hear John Lennon too
The Beatles are Gods gift to man!✌🏻
Early on, the Beatles performed next to Little Richard, who taught Paul how to wail. Paul always wanted to show he could be a hard blues singer, since his voice was so melodic. one of his lesser known songs features that voice "Monkberry Delight" when he was with Wings
He does a great Long Tall Sally
Despite most Beatles songs being written and sung by John and Paul, some of their best were actually written by George.... While My Guitar Gently Weeps being one of them.
Also “Something” and “Here Comes The Sun”, two of my favorites.
And Ringo smashed it on the drums, awesome!

They didn't just change music, they changed the world. Unworldly.
Paul is mostly known for his bass playing but he absolutely has one of the best voices in rock.
The Beatles had so many songs that alot get missed when people look for their songs
His vocal range, bass playing, song writing is on another level
🥰😍real blues feel to it... the best band of all time...
Not enough people in this world have listened to the Abbey Road album.
This is a great, underrated tune. I really like the heavenly harmonies in the back-half - they just transport the song to another dimension.
Great song choice,one of my favorite Beatles song.
Pure class, so much talent in one band. Try if you can to listen to the rest of this album.
I had all the Beatles albums from the first Meet the Beatles yes I’m that old. Unfortunately I lost all of them which makes me so sad. Thank you for playing their songs ❤
Another gem from Abby Road is Track 1, Come Together. It's the perfect introduction to a perfect album. Abby Road and Dark Side of the Moon are the two perfect albums of the era imho.
Don’t forget, George he was a major part of everything the Beatles did
Always have to crank this up when it comes on!!!
This song was a #1 vocal challenge for me as a lead singer.
Paul McCartney is the man of a thousand voices and he had a four octave range. On of the best vocal performances all time.
Love the Beatles!❤
Great Reaction!!👏👏
Paul at the top of his game.
I flew to London from Arizona and walked that same spot on the photo of the Album. Walked the whole area. I was into it.
It sounds like they used a slight echo for Paul's vocals in the chorus which sounds very cool. Love that effect! Also, the punchy guitar that pounces on that chord with perfect spacing proves that you don't need some slick, fast filling the air with a gazillion notes to have a great guitar sound in a song. As Miles Davis and Keith Richards have said...."let the notes breathe" and the Beatles showed how right that is in this song.
This is Paul subconsciously singing to John knowing that he was moving away from the group and their partnership would soon come to an end.
Love the piano and the backing vocals. Just adds that little bit extra to it that any other band would've blown off.
"Abbey Road" was the final recorded album by The Beatles, and they definitely went out with a bang.
My favourite Beatles album by a distance
LOVE this album - particularly the Side Two Medley (YOU NEVER GIVE YOUR MONEY, SUN KING, MEAN MR. MUSTARD, POLYTHENE PAM, SHE CAME IN THROUGH THE BATHROOM WINDOW, GOLDEN SLUMBERS, CARRY THAT WEIGHT, THE END -and wait for it- HER MAJESTY), which must be heard straight thru, non-stop -THEN react. Others have successfully aired it, recently.
Love this song and album. I have it and listen to it. Also have the White album, it's awesome! You guys rock!
An amazing from an amazing album!
Johns backing vocals are astonishing! Simply insane!😅😂❤
This is my favorite Beatles song. Have you seen the movie “Across the Universe”? It is a story told using a variety of Beatles songs. “Oh, Darling” is used as a backdrop to a singing duo couple’s break up. I love the movie and feel the songs are appropriately used for the characters and events.
Paul is a man of many voices; listen to, for sample diversity, Yesterday, Lady Madonna, Michelle, Rocky Raccoon and then there is, this one.
I think this and Let it Be are my favorite Paul vocals. ❤😊
Number one in my book always
Desde mis 12 años aprox..siempre e sido un soñador en lo musical gracias a The Beatles y Paul es mi preferido,por su calidad vocal ..imitando su registro...tan mal no lo hice ...esto es un don envidiable y mas aun siendo el un músico nivel The Beatles..saludos.💪🇨🇱
All Paul on this one!
Paul McCartney is incredible. What a great vocal range he had, Paul totally kicks ass on that song .
I think this is Paul's best vocal. The entire album is a swan song, being the last recorded.
Well Done! More Please!!
Dear Prudence is a great song you may want to consider
It's an underrated underappreciated gem that one.
I was 13 in Feb 1964...I still remember the joy and excitement buying my first 45 "I want to hold your hand"... this began my musical journey...and I still remember the lyrics to all their songs...we had Beatle weekends and the radio station played nothing but Beatles music! Glorious time to be a teenager!
I think that despite all the gems that they gave us , Hey Jude , Let It Be , Strawberry Fields , Yesterday , In My Life , this one stands as THE MOST BEAUTIFUL ONE … the drums , the passion , … and the CHORUSES ??? … and THIS INCREDIBLE VOICE ???
JUST AMAZING …
STUNNING BEAUTIFUL ❤❤❤
… and he was just 27 … 🙈🙈🙈
Paul wrote and sang it. One the most amazing voices ever. He could do beautiful ballads and belt out songs like this one and even scream on key.
I've heard Abbey Road so many times I can play it in order in my head. I actually live at the Abbey Road apartments on Penny Lane in Austin. That album really means a lot to a lot of people. We experienced the songs always flowing into each other, as they were meant to be heard.
For those who never believed that Paul McCartney was a multi talented vocalist….need to listen to Oh Darling!
It's nice to hear fresh music appreciation perspectives from young individuals however, imagine looking forward to each live concert, their bootlegs and new releases by the Beatles as you were living the history in real time .. moreover, understanding the mindblowing musical epiphanies and banter we enjoyed among the millions worldwide of like minded individuals? ... Let me hear translate all those occurences into your more modern day realizations! 😎
Nice reaction guys, any plans on getting a ring on that beauty's finger? She's a stunner indeed.
Probably my favorite Beatles song.
The Beatles make me happy, have done so since I first started listening to them in 1964!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
