They were just plain better than everybody else by a wide margin. There are a few other great bands, but none came close to the wild creativity exhibited by these four. It was as if you had Mozart, Beethoven and Bach in the same little quartet. A spectacle.
Owned a record store when it was released. Played the album over and over again in the store. I'm 83 and still believe it's the greatest and most artistic album ever recorded.
I will never get tired of listening to the Beatles. I grew up with their music starting from “I saw her standing there” to “Let it be” and beyond. In my honest opinion, they are the “greatest band of all time.” 50 years from now their music will still be played on the airwaves.
@drh-ov7eq And of history yet to be written. I can't see how there could be a musical act, to better them. And given the drivel passed off as being music, these days, it's a safe bet.

Abbey Road is a beautiful LP. My girlfreind Nancy and I sat on Miami Beach Dec. 1969 (we were both 17, from Ct.) All we needed was to listen to Abbey Road. That was the best Xmas ever. For lottsa reasons..
John supposedly hated this medley but it always brings a smile to my face. I never get tired of listening to it. I think it's one of the best things the Beatles ever did.
@@musiccollectorJohn knew a lot. But this is very reminiscent of Paul's later works like RAM, now that I think about it. The blend of the 2 styles could have worked well throughout their lives had they held it together.
What makes this medley so much more amazing is it is actually made up of a colleciton of partially-completed songs. It was Paul McCartney who suggested stringing the bits together and rumor has it that at first John Lennon was against the idea. That may not be true as people who were there as these bits were worked say Lennon had a fun time with the project. The fragments were recorded inndividually or two at a time and then strung together more than one way before the final product emerged, and what a wonderful product it was!
I am a staunch supporter that this was the best way for them to go out. My god, Let It Be and Abbey Road. They went out at their best and leaving fans wanting more. Had they stayed together just to appease fans and/or for the money the music could have suffered and we wouldn't have this epic legacy that all us Beatles fans cherish.

Was lucky meself to see the Beatles 'live' in Dublin in 1963, and later in the 1970s met Paul, Linda and Mary in LA and John and Yoko in New York in 1979.
@@emau2459As an artist myself, I notice the best skill one can have is to be able to hear what is playing inside one's head (lyrics, melodies and harmonies) and to translate all of that to the “physical”. Once you learn an instrument, the translating part is not that difficult. The real work lies in learning to hear (or receive) your art. The best artists are the ones that have their channels very open, and The Beatles did it like no one else. So besides love, there is also truth - they were absolutely true to themselves. This is translated in their performances and freedom of production. Even Ringo shared this core honesty, so if the song asked him to record an extra snare or maybe only a tambourine the whole song, that's what he would do. So they treated each song as if it were its own world.
@@edu-lins Well said; thank you for your insight. To me, the Beatles almost represent the expansion of consciousness, how they kept redefining themselves and finding a deeper truth to express; and in the end, returning to where they started, just rock n roll. No other band has ever had the same effect on me, despite the amazing acts that are out there. For me, Pink Floyd is a close second, but still shy of the mark.
The Garden at Gethsemane, followed by carrying the cross (Boy you're gonna carry that weight a long time), followed by being nailed to the cross (drum solo), followed by dying on the cross because he Loves You, followed by it is finished (And in the end the love you make is equal to the love you take). The greatest story ever told set to rock music. Pure genius.
@@jcsgodmother That's an interesting assessment but the lyrics aren't actually referring to religion, Golden Slumbers is really referring to the play Patient Grissel by Thomas Dekker printed in England in 1603. (When Paul wrote this song, he referred to the words of Patient Grissel closely, read them and you'll see). And Patient Grissel is itself referring to Chaucer's Canterbury Tales.
I stand by the interpretation I wrote down. John Lennon said the Beatles were a Christian band and spent his entire life "playing the role" of Jesus. Abbey Road was the last album they recorded (Let It Be was released last because it took so long to get it in shape for release but it was recorded before Abbey Road). This medley is their effort to take everything they were working on but had not completed and put it together in a medley that summed up the Beatles . It was John wrapping up the Beatles and it makes a Christian statement. It is their final masterpiece.
@@jcsgodmother I'm afraid this song has nothing to do with your religion. As I said, the song comes from Patient Grissel (there is a poem in Patient Grissel called "Golden Slumbers", I'll add the poem in another post). And John Lennon did not believe in your god. Nor does Paul McCartney. Nor did George Harrison.
Everyone alive today and alive at any point to experience the Beatles are blessed. It is those before that point that missed out. Or those who for any reason were not exposed to it but unless living in a cave I find that hard to fathom.
The Greatest Recording of All Time!!!...Simply A Masterpiece... Brings me tears of Happiness & Peace to My Soul....im 58 yrs old 🙏Thank You John Paul George & Ringo for the best soundtrack to my Life..
imagine having Mozart, Beethoven and Bach, in the same quartet; that’s what you have with the Beatles .as good as other bands were they simply could not compete with the wildly, creative, ferocious output of these freaks of nature, known as, the Beatles. As a musician I can tell you there is nothing that approaches the difficulty of writing an excellent song and these guys did it effortlessly, even the solo stuff. How lucky ,lucky ,lucky ,🎼lucky we were to grow up with miraculous music all around us.🎼🎼🎼
Afraid that's only because this has a relatively low view count. Once it gets popular, some algorithm will take notice and -woops! ads will start appearing.
It's like the band that invented "going viral" is still going viral. Not to mention there is a good chance John is the 1st original troll. Just research "I Am The Walrus". John knew exactly what he was doing.
George’s mother, Louise, told a story how she listened to Indian music when she was carrying George, and said that how George took a liking to the sitar.
Not so sure any of us are in a position to judge the greatest piece of music ever recorded but that it is objective to claim this was one of the greatest bands ever at their best. And that is more then enough. Heck 50+ years ago this was recorded and so many still love it to no end. I can listen to this every few weeks and never tire of it.
“And in the end, the love you take, is equal to the love you make” correct me if I’m wrong, but there has never been a better farewell track in all of pop music history, it’s literally the definition of a perfect ending
And to think that it was mostly made up from leftover songs that they couldn't really finish. Loads of people say this is their favourite album becuase of this medley. Whereas with a lot of other bands, their material gets weaker as they go on, and no one really likes their final abum, it's an absolute testament to them that thier final output is considered to be thier best.
Golden slumbers fill your eyes. My mother, who has passed on now, filled my ears as a child with this great music. I'm forever grateful. Love ya mom, miss you so much.
I suspect a lot of we Boomer Mom's did this for our children. My 47 year old son was at a Beatles cover band concert last Saturday...he kept texting me, sending video clips He was so excited to share and I loved every moment as I knew how deeply he felt the music and how irrevocably it ties us together.
Absolutely right glennzillable. Remember when MTV named the 'Rolling Stone Magazine's 100 Greatest Pop Songs' way back 2002? The Beatles' song "Yesterday" ranked #1!🥳🥳🥳🎊🎊🎊🎉🎉🎉🎼🎼🎼🎵🎵🎵🎶🎶🎶🎤🎤🎤🎸🎸🎸🎹🎹🎹🥁🥁🥁
An older friend of mine told me that he has proof God exists, and will send messages thru the radio to you on any specific area of concern. His proof was when he somehow survived Vietnam as a draftee (80% mortality rate in US Army in 1969), and on his way to the air field to be transferred home stateside, he prayed to hear some good music with unique meaning to his life. Upon climbing onto the plane to go home, the pilot was listening to a military radio station and when my buddy took his first step onto the plane, and he knew he was going home after 2 tours of unimaginable horrors, the opening piano chords and Pauls vocals started playing. Once there was a way, to get back home...i heard this one over 30 years ago, and still to this day when i hear this masterpiece, esp. this haunting opening verse, i still shed some tears for my buddy, i cannot comprehend the joy he was feeling that glorious day in 69 when he left Hell, and heard this for the first time...Praise God and thank you for the Beatles...
@@evanchristie9778 Dang I never realized that "boy you're gonna carry that weight" could very well be some PTSD carried on after war...makes complete sense now. McCartney is brilliant indeed...
4/10/1970 Sitting in freshman year of high school in the cafeteria when in comes a friend crying that the Beatles had just broken up. The whole table ran through every conceivable emotion. He might as well set off a hand grenade in the middle of us! We were wiped out. One of the worst days of our short lives. Loved them dearly and still do! The best ever!!!
Wow, I thought I was the only person who lost his mind when that happened. But that's how great they were. I mean we were 14 yrs old, and the Beatles had us by the heart strings. Great days indeed..
In 1964, my father begrudgingly - with the help of my mom - allowed me to get a Beatles haircut, but never let me wear Beatle boots. Every one of their albums, upon release, became my new favorite. My girls grew up with the Beatles and other 60s and 70s classic rock, jazz, classical, et al, but the Beatles are our favorite. 2015, I took my wife and daughters to see Paul for her 60th birthday. We had incredible seats and an unforgettable time. My oldest walked down the aisle to In My Life. They brought long-lasting joy to so many lives and generations.
Great to hear that you taught your girls great music that can be appreciated and shared. 😅 it's great when they take control of the stereo fighting over what Beatles lp to play or whose mixtape/cd to put in...have a happy day sir
You can't take anything away from George Martin. Before him The Beatles were playing mostly covers in dive bars for beer money. However it was Epstein that got them to George Martin. So there is that...
@@CB-xr1eg Paul and George Martin putting it together is the ONLY reason I believe John was critical of it. But here nor there his best studio work is on it as well for all of eternity to admire.
Every sound ever produced by a human being led to this. The greatest virtues of mankind condensed in 16 minutes. This is one the things that makes every bad thing we've done worth it.
I agree... but without the other two... Brian Epstein and George Martin there is no way to confirm if their success would have been to the magnitude it eventually got to.
I am assuming my dad will go first and he committed me to playing every version of "Knocking on Heavens Door" from Dylan to Guns and Roses to Clapton during his burial and I assued him that will be the case. My request is much simpler. Abbey Road Medley.
When I was in High School n the late 60's from the Sgt Peppers album through The White Album through to Let It Be I remember the High School having a small Stereo Record Player in the Music Room. When a new album arrived dozens of students would sit in the Music Room listening to the entire album then engage in really deep conversations about the music and its meanings.......... Cant see that happening with Taylor Swift???
and to think that the same eccentric, opinionated, extroverted, oddball, genius, wrote it, and Because for the same album. They were all freaks of nature.
I totally agree!!! My sincere thank you for sharing this masterpiece medley the way it was recorded!!! I will love them till the end of time!!!!! The best band ever!!!
God bless you 70 s guys still listening to the most creative bands in history. I'm 64 in December and I hope I'm dusting off Beatles records if I make it to the 70s. Lol
They did their best work when they were breaking up. They gave it everything they had, for old time's sake. This is a freaking masterpiece. I will ALWAYS love the Beatles
If anyone is unsure what a "ten bob note" means, it's a slang term for what was a unit of currency in England, to the value of half a pound. As with any banknote, they were often rolled up and inserted into the nose to take drugs.
I don't know about anyone else, but at my age of 63 listening to the Beatles brings tears to my eyes. It's not just the absolutely beautiful music but also the memories of what you were doing when this album came to the record store in Fayetteville NY. Wow.....excuse me, I need a tissue....
We all feel the same ! The Beatles transcended place and time . I honestly do believe that they were ( unknown to them ) chosen as the medium through which the Music was given to us.
I am a grown ass man. Hardly anything can make me cry. But some of these Beatles songs that bring back the innocence of my youth as well as the early years of my parents... heck yeah I am going to cry. Healthiest cries ever.
We Beatlemaniacs have the same perception of what these music of the Beatles brought to our lives. We’re lucky to have heard and witnessed the musical geniuses of the Beatles. Nobody can ever replace them. And in the end, the love you gave is equal to the love you make. Classic.
It’s been almost 10 years since my sister Janet passed away. The last song we played for her was The End. It was a beautiful sunny day in the California desert when she was laid to rest and we played the song as loud as possible so she could hear it from heaven- love and miss you always Jan 💗🥲
No other band combined their personal influences (ragtime, British vaudeville, American blues, classical, and just sheer creativity/genius for turning phrases) like they did. They literally re-shaped ALL of western culture. No OTHER band can EVER say that.
Why were they great? They introduced incredible, innovative melodies. They understood the importance of great, close harmonies. They did rock, ballads and even invoked classical music. They included great, thought-provoking lyrics. They changed the entire world of popular music.
As a guitar player, I notice that they used chords that were unusual for rock and roll - not just simple major and minor chords. Doing so added feeling and color to their music.
listen to George Harrison’s guitar work on don’t let me down. It always reminds me of a waltz. It has such percussive quality to it, and that sort of thing was common even from the early days. They were so sophisticated at the deepest levels and it just poured out of them involuntarily.
@@kevinwithers3781 everybody that ever played with George Harrison said he was an encyclopedia of musical knowledge, especially with chords. His close friendship with a Bob Dylan lead Dylan to acknowledge that. when you listen to Dylan‘s music before George Harrison, and after there is a huge improvement in terms of chord-diminished, augmented, etc. George Harrison called them the naughty chords. Tom Petty said the very same thing about him. It turns out they were really close, and that their children grew up together and were and still are very close.
Cowboy Bebop. Yep, I carry it. The moment the words "boy, you're gonna carry that weight" were spoken, everything came back. If you don't know what I'm talking about do yourself a giant favor and just watch the series. Don't Google it.
Maxime PEATAUTON Je célèbre ton bon goût pour de bonnes choses!!! Et que tu aies téléchargé ce medley complet et dans le bon ordre, autrement c'est impossible de l'écouter. Merci, merci, merci. From Argentina with Love.
The perfect end to the most remarkable career of the most successful band in the history of Rock and Roll. Abbey Road #1 1969 and also #1 2019 50th Anniversary Issue. The Beatles will never be topped by anyone ever as 54 years after breaking up their music will continue to appeal to new forthcoming generations. In 1963 their Manager Brian Epstein said “ in the year 2000 kids will be listening to their music.” Well it is April 18, 2024, I am 62 years old and their music is continuing to capture the intrigue and hearts of new listeners. Brian Epstein knew what he was talking about !!! Beatles Forever!!!
If you ask me, i'ved admire so much Beatles specialy this album, Abby Road its the most beautiful beautiful album of the group.. say yes if do you agree..
I was born in 1959, dancing and singing in the basement to Beatles music from early on. So much so, at 5 years of age in ‘64, my Mom bought tickets to see the Beatles at Red Rocks in Colorado on their first tour. I experienced Beatlesmania first hand. All these years later, still my greatest memory. The Beatles… Gods gift to music!
@@lawrenceoctaviuskeet3212Mostly, because unbelievably the show wasn’t sold out. But it was my first experience hearing all those girls screaming! Still, an amazing memory for such a young age.
I was born in '59 also.. we watched Ed Sullivan or Bonanza ( my pop).. my folks said I would not stop crying unless we watched beatles, my dad wanted Bonanza..but gave up because I was relentless.. I watched and the world turned from Black and white to Color forever!.. thanks John,Paul,George and Ringo..❤
@@musiccollector It's nice to know you were alive when this came out. What a gift. It's like being the only person still alive when the pyramids were built. I saw an interview where Paul was asked basically "Do you understand what effect you had on so many people's lives" and he said "Yes" Just wow. Again, talk about gifts.
When they get to Golden Slumbers, I get a feeling of sadness. What once was, is now gone, but wouldn't be nice to be there again. You can never go home~~~ Such a great medley!
Well, I still visit my parents, there is still my room (that I later shared with my sister), but you're right, it's different, I have my own life and do not live there anymore. At least the memories remain.
My daughter who is now 33 years old have parts of this sung to her at bedtime for years. It was the most enjoyable part of my day! Oh, and by the way she is a huge Beatles fan❤
The name Scott represents The Secret Code Of Time Travel. The code is 5 minutes too, 5 minutes after, each end of the cross. Whenever you LEAVE or ARRIVE it will always Match, Watch.
The art of writing to a song He's no virtuoso But he doesn't have to be - that's were his critics' go wrong. They expect him to be a technically brilliant drummer - he, instead, plays to the song. His writing sensibilities are first and foremost in service to the song he's playing. That makes him brilliant in my book.
the drumming through each track just complements each section perfectly. this easily shows that he is an amazing drummer, and that's thanks to his unorthodox style
@@musiccollector you see i hadnt listened to MMT in such a long time i had kind of disregarded it and considered the white album and revolver far superior but just listened to it again and instantly reconsidered, its hard to think of my top 5 all time albums without about 4 beatles records! a radiohead record just about sneaks in
I believe today is the 60th anniversary of the band coming to America. One of the best days in human history. The talent combined in these men could power the world for decades. God bless the Beatles and their music.
This is the best medley by any band in the history of recorded music. It is 16 and a half minutes of pure genius. And also the only time Ringo Starr did a drum solo I believe. A masterpiece.
@@grantgunden83: Your comments are spot on about this being Ringo's only solo but it's more than that: Its a superb piece of musicianship performed by a master technician, linking different phases of a complex melodic sequence that maybe wouldn't have worked with it. None of the usual self indulgence, chest beating tuneless egotism that usually accompanies drum solos, this is pure class.

@@castlerock58 Nah I have a brother that plays in a band and they are like waaaayyyyyyyyyyyyy better
you can leave the beatles for a while and listen to other stuff but, when you come back...just WOW !! it hits you again just how good they were.
They had an otherworldly force behind their music, was it just love?
@@emau2459As an artist myself, I notice the best skill one can have is to be able to hear what is playing inside one's head (lyrics, melodies and harmonies) and to translate all of that to the “physical”. Once you learn an instrument, the translating part is not that difficult. The real work lies in learning to hear (or receive) your art. The best artists are the ones that have their channels very open, and The Beatles did it like no one else. So besides love, there is also truth - they were absolutely true to themselves. This is translated in their performances and freedom of production. Even Ringo shared this core honesty, so if the song asked him to record an extra snare or maybe only a tambourine the whole song, that's what he would do. So they treated each song as if it were its own world.
This just happened.
@@edu-lins Well said; thank you for your insight. To me, the Beatles almost represent the expansion of consciousness, how they kept redefining themselves and finding a deeper truth to express; and in the end, returning to where they started, just rock n roll. No other band has ever had the same effect on me, despite the amazing acts that are out there. For me, Pink Floyd is a close second, but still shy of the mark.
@@emau2459 it was talent, hard work, and dedication. And hard work. Oh, did I mention hard work? Yeah, lots of hard work.
Golden Slumbers is one of the most beautiful songs ever written.
The Garden at Gethsemane, followed by carrying the cross (Boy you're gonna carry that weight a long time), followed by being nailed to the cross (drum solo), followed by dying on the cross because he Loves You, followed by it is finished (And in the end the love you make is equal to the love you take). The greatest story ever told set to rock music. Pure genius.
So good the great jazz guitarist George Benson covered it, rare for George, but it spoke to him.
@@jcsgodmother That's an interesting assessment but the lyrics aren't actually referring to religion, Golden Slumbers is really referring to the play Patient Grissel by Thomas Dekker printed in England in 1603. (When Paul wrote this song, he referred to the words of Patient Grissel closely, read them and you'll see). And Patient Grissel is itself referring to Chaucer's Canterbury Tales.
I stand by the interpretation I wrote down. John Lennon said the Beatles were a Christian band and spent his entire life "playing the role" of Jesus. Abbey Road was the last album they recorded (Let It Be was released last because it took so long to get it in shape for release but it was recorded before Abbey Road). This medley is their effort to take everything they were working on but had not completed and put it together in a medley that summed up the Beatles . It was John wrapping up the Beatles and it makes a Christian statement. It is their final masterpiece.
@@jcsgodmother I'm afraid this song has nothing to do with your religion. As I said, the song comes from Patient Grissel (there is a poem in Patient Grissel called "Golden Slumbers", I'll add the poem in another post). And John Lennon did not believe in your god. Nor does Paul McCartney. Nor did George Harrison.
I'm watching my kitty over under the table half snoozing while really listening, told by the way his ears are turning.
Oh, such a sweety 🐱.
Tiddles has wonderful taste 🐕❤
Cats know what is best in life.
The Beatles were simply on another level, for thoe of you who were lucky enough to grow up with it, consider yourself blessed.
we do
Yes we are
Soy bendecido
Everyone alive today and alive at any point to experience the Beatles are blessed. It is those before that point that missed out. Or those who for any reason were not exposed to it but unless living in a cave I find that hard to fathom.
That’s right!
The Greatest Recording of All Time!!!...Simply A Masterpiece... Brings me tears of Happiness & Peace to My Soul....im 58 yrs old 🙏Thank You John Paul George & Ringo for the best soundtrack to my Life..
imagine having Mozart, Beethoven and Bach, in the same quartet; that’s what you have with the Beatles .as good as other bands were they simply could not compete with the wildly, creative, ferocious output of these freaks of nature, known as, the Beatles. As a musician I can tell you there is nothing that approaches the difficulty of writing an excellent song and these guys did it effortlessly, even the solo stuff. How lucky ,lucky ,lucky ,🎼lucky we were to grow up with miraculous music all around us.🎼🎼🎼

Not so sure any of us are in a position to judge the greatest piece of music ever recorded but that it is objective to claim this was one of the greatest bands ever at their best. And that is more then enough. Heck 50+ years ago this was recorded and so many still love it to no end. I can listen to this every few weeks and never tire of it.

The ending of Abbey Road is the greatest ending of an album - and an incredible poetic end to the GREATEST band ever!
True
And to think that it was mostly made up from leftover songs that they couldn't really finish. Loads of people say this is their favourite album becuase of this medley. Whereas with a lot of other bands, their material gets weaker as they go on, and no one really likes their final abum, it's an absolute testament to them that thier final output is considered to be thier best.

An older friend of mine told me that he has proof God exists, and will send messages thru the radio to you on any specific area of concern. His proof was when he somehow survived Vietnam as a draftee (80% mortality rate in US Army in 1969), and on his way to the air field to be transferred home stateside, he prayed to hear some good music with unique meaning to his life. Upon climbing onto the plane to go home, the pilot was listening to a military radio station and when my buddy took his first step onto the plane, and he knew he was going home after 2 tours of unimaginable horrors, the opening piano chords and Pauls vocals started playing. Once there was a way, to get back home...i heard this one over 30 years ago, and still to this day when i hear this masterpiece, esp. this haunting opening verse, i still shed some tears for my buddy, i cannot comprehend the joy he was feeling that glorious day in 69 when he left Hell, and heard this for the first time...Praise God and thank you for the Beatles...

He might as well set off a hand grenade in the middle of us! We were wiped out. One of the worst days of our short lives. Loved them dearly and still do! The best ever!!!
That is Beautiful. Love ❤️
Sounds like shallow living. The Beatles were probably relieved and smiling!
Ah adolescent angst ... ... ... ... ...
Wow, I thought I was the only person who lost his mind when that happened.
But that's how great they were. I mean we were 14 yrs old, and the Beatles had us by the heart strings. Great days indeed..

My girls grew up with the Beatles and other 60s and 70s classic rock, jazz, classical, et al, but the Beatles are our favorite. 2015, I took my wife and daughters to see Paul for her 60th birthday. We had incredible seats and an unforgettable time. My oldest walked down the aisle to In My Life. They brought long-lasting joy to so many lives and generations.

The absolute greatest 16 minutes of pop music a needle ever touched.

I agree... but without the other two... Brian Epstein and George Martin there is no way to confirm if their success would have been to the magnitude it eventually got to.

Cant see that happening with Taylor Swift???

I love the humour in these lyrics, it's so typically Liverpool.
If anyone is unsure what a "ten bob note" means, it's a slang term for what was a unit of currency in England, to the value of half a pound. As with any banknote, they were often rolled up and inserted into the nose to take drugs.

We all feel the same ! The Beatles transcended place and time . I honestly do believe that they were ( unknown to them )
chosen as the medium through which the
Music was given to us.
For me, the music is everything. But the fact we only have two of them left, both in their eighties is a fact that chokes me up.
I am a grown ass man. Hardly anything can make me cry. But some of these Beatles songs that bring back the innocence of my youth as well as the early years of my parents... heck yeah I am going to cry. Healthiest cries ever.
That's near Syracuse, right?
We Beatlemaniacs have the same perception of what these music of the Beatles brought to our lives. We’re lucky to have heard and witnessed the musical geniuses of the Beatles. Nobody can ever replace them. And in the end, the love you gave is equal to the love you make. Classic.
It’s been almost 10 years since my sister Janet passed away. The last song we played for her was The End. It was a beautiful sunny day in the California desert when she was laid to rest and we played the song as loud as possible so she could hear it from heaven- love and miss you always Jan 💗🥲

Why were they great? They introduced incredible, innovative melodies. They understood the importance of great, close harmonies. They did rock, ballads and even invoked classical music. They included great, thought-provoking lyrics.
They changed the entire world of popular music.
As a guitar player, I notice that they used chords that were unusual for rock and roll - not just simple major and minor chords. Doing so added feeling and color to their music.
Incredible drums
They were the most important musical band in ROCK
listen to George Harrison’s guitar work on don’t let me down. It always reminds me of a waltz. It has such percussive quality to it, and that sort of thing was common even from the early days. They were so sophisticated at the deepest levels and it just poured out of them involuntarily.
@@kevinwithers3781 everybody that ever played with George Harrison said he was an encyclopedia of musical knowledge, especially with chords. His close friendship with a Bob Dylan lead Dylan to acknowledge that. when you listen to Dylan‘s music before George Harrison, and after there is a huge improvement in terms of chord-diminished, augmented, etc. George Harrison called them the naughty chords. Tom Petty said the very same thing about him. It turns out they were really close, and that their children grew up together and were and still are very close.
Golden Slumbers/Carry that Weight always brings tears to my eyes.
i love it when it reprises into you never give me your money
So many Beatles songs can bring tears to my eyes at any given time. I think anyone alive during that decade and being a fan to this day understands.

The Beatles were on another level altogether
We can't come up with a group like that today. No surprise.
@@musiccollector It's nice to know you were alive when this came out. What a gift. It's like being the only person still alive when the pyramids were built. I saw an interview where Paul was asked basically "Do you understand what effect you had on so many people's lives" and he said "Yes" Just wow. Again, talk about gifts.
Spot on. No one else came close and never will.
2 or 3 levels altogether! By a lot!
They were truly superhuman.
When they get to Golden Slumbers, I get a feeling of sadness. What once was, is now gone, but wouldn't be nice to be there again. You can never go home~~~ Such a great medley!
Well, I still visit my parents, there is still my room (that I later shared with my sister), but you're right, it's different, I have my own life and do not live there anymore. At least the memories remain.
Only Maxwell's hammer is a miss
"Everybody's laughing
Everybody's happy...."
When I listen to this, absolutely.
My daughter who is now 33 years old have parts of this sung to her at bedtime for years. It was the most enjoyable part of my day! Oh, and by the way she is a huge Beatles fan❤
You raised her well
Like she had a choice.
when my daughter was in the womb, I would tell her about Mozart and the Beatles.
The bass is so exquisite… I’m crying softly.
The name Scott represents The Secret Code Of Time Travel. The code is 5 minutes too, 5 minutes after, each end of the cross. Whenever you LEAVE or ARRIVE it will always Match, Watch.
Yeh Paul, could play! Nearly invented Pop playing. See ABBA’s session guys
Ringo's versatility is shown in this medley! 🎶👍😊👍🎶
The art of writing to a song
He's no virtuoso
But he doesn't have to be - that's were his critics' go wrong. They expect him to be a technically brilliant drummer - he, instead, plays to the song. His writing sensibilities are first and foremost in service to the song he's playing. That makes him brilliant in my book.
the drumming through each track just complements each section perfectly.
this easily shows that he is an amazing drummer, and that's thanks to his unorthodox style
Yeah, all the way from the pub down the street. Just kidding. A lot of people say that Ringo didn't do this. Ringo sure got a lot of flack! 🙄🫶🕺
this a band with all 4 members bringing something to the table...
Yeah, once he finally gets to do solo. They gave the drummer some.
Thank you Beatles for enriching our lives forever
Such a privilege
One of the most beautiful medleys in the history of Pop / Rock made so far. Nothing to add.
As much as I love many of their early stuff, this one stands together with a hand full of others from their MMT and SP albums at the top of the heap.
@@musiccollector you see i hadnt listened to MMT in such a long time i had kind of disregarded it and considered the white album and revolver far superior but just listened to it again and instantly reconsidered, its hard to think of my top 5 all time albums without about 4 beatles records! a radiohead record just about sneaks in
There’ll never be another band that will have such a transformative affect on the world and humanity
I believe today is the 60th anniversary of the band coming to America. One of the best days in human history. The talent combined in these men could power the world for decades. God bless the Beatles and their music.
Abby road & revolver are simply the best beatles albums
& Rubber Soul
Revolver and Rubber Soul were the beginning of psychedelia. Great transitional albums that stand tall all on their own
Who knew the Beatles would save their best work for last? They went out on top. We should have known they would. Abbey Road. A masterpiece. 😊❤
My first lp under the christmas tree. I'm thirteen and hear the best music in world. Im addicted...
"Abbey Road" is a great listen from start to finish!
No better way to go out at their best and leaving fans wanting more... even after a decade of such massive success.
And then Yoko fucked it all up
This is the best medley by any band in the history of recorded music. It is 16 and a half minutes of pure genius. And also the only time Ringo Starr did a drum solo I believe. A masterpiece.
Ringo's only drum solo is correct and the timings perfect that is his claim to fame
@@grantgunden83: Your comments are spot on about this being Ringo's only solo but it's more than that: Its a superb piece of musicianship performed by a master technician, linking different phases of a complex melodic sequence that maybe wouldn't have worked with it. None of the usual self indulgence, chest beating tuneless egotism that usually accompanies drum solos, this is pure class.
He also had almost one in Birthday, I think.
This record sounds more modern than many modern records.
so true
George Martin didn't get enough credit for producing such a great album !
I’m 75 years old and still listen to the Beatles. I saw them live. The best concert ever and regard them the best band ever.
Well of course they were. So sad it had to end.
who could argue
