Over thanksgiving weekend Disney + is going to release a three part documentary on the Get Back sessions. Directed by Peter Jackson. All the footage comes from 1969 when the Beatles wanted to document the creation of new material to be performed and released live. It was later released as Let It Be. None of the Beatles attended the premiere. It was a depressing movie. This version is going to show a more complete picture and show us how much fun they are having while splitting. Watch George quit! Then return. Dig it was a snippet of a long jam. One After 909 was one of the first songs they wrote when they were 15.
What you might not have noticed, some of the songs are live (I've got a Feeling, Dig a Pony, One after 909, Get back) from the famous "Rooftop Concert" in London on January 30th, 1969 on the roof of their "Apple Studio". The album doesn't have a solid concept, so it seems a little disorganized and the Beatles weren't really enthusiastic about this album either. Nevertheless, the music of the Beatles is still of such a quality, that it survives even that. Except for me "The long and winding road". A gruesome McCartney dumpling, which he later continued for example with his solo song "My love". "I me mine" is the last song, the Beatles (except John Lennon) worked on as a band in January 1970.
These was the last album by the beatles, which was mixed and compiled by a new producer who was roped in just to extract out worth of an album's material from their unreleased tapes, after the band had split up. So that's why the end product is not that amazing as other masterfully crafted beatles masterpieces.
To me, it's the underrated album. I prefer Let it Be Naked, though, the remastered version by Paul McCartney strip of the unnecessary brass arrangement. The order of the songs is different too.
I’m pretty sure One after 909 was like one of the first songs they ever wrote together. Also there’s a Let It Be Naked version and I’m pretty sure that’s how the Beatles wanted the album to be
@@victorhugo-wo2ci, yep. It was Lennon who handed the album over to Spector, he and George then went on to work with him on solo albums. So they must have been fans of his production style.
@@bobbobbins4877 john was a fan of spectors production style until he ran off with a bunch of tapes from lennon and was drunk enough to shoot inside of the studio at the time
As a bald white guy, I love your fro. This album was mostly recorded right after the white album came out. Then shelved for a year as they broke up and then finished off. Paul HATES the strings on long and winding road. HATES. And he’s the sweetest guy. I love two of us.
dude you gotta listen to Don’t Let Me Down which was a single recorded around the time of this album. it’s so groovy and soulful and just all around fucking slaps
I know it’s not an “official” Beatles album, but I highly recommend their album LOVE. It’s basically a compilation of all their good songs but all remixed together. The sound quality is incredible as well. It sounds very modern and vibrant.
I think the problem with this album is that it seems like only Paul brought his A game. Lennon had the brilliant Across the Universe, but that was a song he'd recorded a year earlier. George had good song ideas but was struggling to make himself heard.
The Beatles had intended making a back to basics album with all the songs recorded live in the studio with Billy Preston brought in for keyboards. But the idea never worked. They were still exhausted from the White Album and the sessions for the songs became unfocused with long jams and Lennon loosing interest because of drug problems. The songs were shelved with nobody quite knowing what to do with them. They then went and recorded Abbey Road, their final album and a year later Phil Spector revisited the tapes and attempted to make an album which everyone basically hated, especially McCartney. The idea was good, the execution and timing wasn't. A longer break and Lennon bringing some good songs could have saved the project. Still some absolute peaches on it though that other bands would die for.
Harrison's songs are also weaker than his compositions for the White Album and "Abbey Road." Lennon's "Across the Universe" is a classic, but for the most part, Paul seemed the most invested in this project, and the lack of a cohesive and focused band effort hurts the album.
The album has some great tracks, especially the monumental title track and "The Long and Winding Road," but too much of the album feels tossed off and unfinished. It also is missing George Martin's outstanding production and arrangements. I've never known a Beatles fan who would put this album in the Beatles' top tier of records.
I feel like this album would’ve worked great as a calm laid back transition from the absolutely insane white album before moving on to abbey road, but unfortunately they didn’t release in that order so
This is my second favorite Beatles record… two of us and dig a pony I just can’t get enough of. Along with Ive got a feeling and more.. man great album
Release dates: May 8th, 1970 (UK) May 18th, 1970 (US) October 24th, 1987 (CD first issue along with cassette and original master tape and on 8 track tape version) September 9th, 2009 (Remastered Version on both CD and LP) May 2021 (50th Anniversary Edition)
The phrase like a rolling stone in dig it is a reference to the Bob Dylan song like a rolling stone which is one if the most important songs in rock history
the album was , normally , without orchestration .......he was recorded before abbey road .... Mc Cartney want a album recorded live , without effect ...months after lennon , starr and harrison ask to phil spector to saved the album ........ mc cartney was furious about the orchestration on the long and winding road and he was one of the reason he decided to leave the Beatles .......now you need to discovered all the singles they produced between 1962-1970 you can not miss masterpiece like "rain" " paperback writer" "lady madonna "..... ( on the past master album vol 1 and 2 )
Cool bro! You've already heard the best Beatles albums in my opinion. I think now you should listen to some solo work like John Lennon's Plastic Ono Band or All Things Must Pass
An effect they had back then was a Leslie, which was a two-headed horn speaker that rotated. If you placed microphones around it you'd get a pulsing quality from any voice or instrument played through the speakers. I'm surprised you didn't like "Two of Us," as that's classic buddy music. You like cinematics, and that's a soundtrack to go along with a scrapbook montage of two friends growing up together. "Across the Universe," "The Long and Winding Road," "Let It Be," are some of my favorite Beatles tunes. "Get Back" has a good groove. Now that you've heard all the music, you should watch the video of the concert the Beatles did on the rooftop.
"One After 909" was an early, somewhat primitive Lennon-McCartney song they had played in the studio but never officially released. Years later, they sound like they're horsing around as they recorded this sloppy version that got released on "Let It Be." Check out a tighter, unreleased version they did much earlier at ruclips.net/video/aDdy1MBckSI/видео.html&ab_channel=TheBeatles-Topic.
These mid to late great albums, everything from Revolver on, would have been the entire career of most any other band. But for the Beatles it was an encore to their career: they never performed these songs live as a band after they recorded them. Songs recorded and then never performed live (other than a couple of TV shows and the legendary roof concert). Unprecedented in any other band. Just one more unique aspect of their remarkable history.
You should definitely listen to Let it Be…. Naked. It’s a more recent remix of the album with an added song, but the idea, and don’t quote me, is how the Beatles wanted the album to sound. Certain effects, like the ones in Across The Universe, would be removed and have a stronger focus on the actual instruments.
Get Back was actually a protest song, but key lines were removed. Let it Be was about Getting Back (Get Back the original working title) to their roots, playing live. But, you can hear the tension and distance. Abbey Road that followed, you can hear the difference. Even though there is speculation the Beatles were considering another album, Abbey Road is just full of life, a bang to end it! You should listen to Let it Be Naked without the influence of Phil Spector and the Past Masters for their singles as the Beatles only added singles to an album at the very end of their career as they believed it was ripping off the listener!
It was released in 1970, after Abbey Road, but was recorded before AR, in January 1969. Not one of their best albums, even if it had at least 3 hits (Let It Be, Get Back and Long and Winding Road). How many bands can say that about their average albums?
This album is such a fascinating beast for me. The time period for them recording is such an interesting time in their history, and I’m really excited for the giant Let It Be documentary dropping later this year. Phil Spector produced a lot of the final album instead of their original producer George Martin which is why it sounds so different from their usual sound and is probably why it’s my least favorite Beatles album. Highly recommend the stripped back Let It Be.. Naked album tho, it’s Paul’s original vision for the album and is WAY better imo
@@emiliocecena15 it comes out at the end of November on Disney+! It’s 3 parts, 2 hours each, and each part drops on a different day so it’s a LOT of material
A very Jammy, improvised groove, recorded live, bluesy, funky vibe. George Harrison's lead guitar is outstanding throughout--and you can hear on Let It Be how George Harrison so influenced that guitar genius Prince, the mixing of melody, intense feeling, and screaming intensity. And praise must go to the Beatles' longtime friend and collaborator, brutha King keyboardist BILLY PRESTON, who became a major R&B/Soul/Funk-rock star in his own right after the break-up of the Beatles. MR. Billy Preston is OUTSTANDING on his work on Let it Be and the killer groove Get Back. And KeekayNeNe: LOVE...DIGGING...FEELING all of your insights, reactions, analysis: Dude. YOU are the DEAL.
I would LOVE to see you react to the album “The Mollusk” by Ween at some point. Just look up the album cover and you’ll be intrigued I promise. It has an entire underwater theme to it and actually inspired the creator of Spongebob (Stephen Hillenburg) to MAKE Spongebob! On top of that I think it’s a psychedelic masterpiece as well. Ween are a very underrated band that, to me, are like the modern day Beatles (in terms of their music quality and experimentation). If you have a PayPal link or donation link or something I’d be willing to pay to see you react to it too lol.
i would listen to Let It Be Naked. the Phil Spector production is removed and the songs sound much better and rock harder. it also includes the single Don't Let Me Down which is a great song
If you watch the Movie, "Let it Be", the song "The Two of Us" was done completely different from what was recorded on the album. Also, the voice in Across the Universe I think uses a Flanger to make his voice seem to swirl around. Listen to the "Naked" version of the "Long and Winding Road".
The thing about Across The Universe is that the lyrics are tense against each other. On one hand, the singer is saying my mind is completely open to the world’s possibilities. On the other hand, “Nothing’s gonna change my world.”
The album was recorded in January 1969 but was not released until may 1970 because a lot of album was remix and reproduce by different producers and the Beatles had split up by the time this album was released
It was sort of stuck together out of outtakes and live performances (rooftop show), and released after the band official broke up so its barely even a studio album.
But John tended to trash most Beatles albums he did when he did interviews during the 70s. He wasn’t really one for nostalgia or reminiscing from what I could tell.
@@norryonbass6574 he was projecting his own negative feelings and insecurities onto the group as a whole. It’s really too bad he died when he did, he was reaching a point in his life where he had really grown as a person and gained some much needed maturity and perspective… if he was here today I think he’d take back a lot of the bitter things he said/did in the early 70s
Glad you enjoyed it - they can’t all be your favorite, so that’s cool. I’m certain by now you have seen how the Beatles matured during their time together, and it’s reflected in the music. On another note, I don’t know what camera you’re using, but that constant focus breathing drives me crazy. You really need to set it on manual focus so it doesn’t do that, if possible. Practically every camera will allow you to do that.
Across the Universe was slowed down for this album version, which made John’s vocals sound slightly warped. The actual, regular speed version is on the Anthology 2 set, and it’s a lot better, especially without Phil Spector’s orchestra.
I like your review, 😉👌 I me mine is commenting on incentives in society creating the i me mine drive... That was 50 years ago, today, everyone is expected to produce their own brand. Good review, most people just praise the Beatles, I like your honesty
nice !!! love your reactions ( i speak spanish but some english too) one day listen to "Ram" Paul and linda Mccartney 1971 at the time they said it was baaad it was waaay ahead of its time With the reissue critics come to love this masterpiece !!! now they know its brillant !!! lots of beautiful melodies , rhythms and styles After that , check Band on the run , Paul mccartney and Wings maybe some day
This album is def not for everybody. Only true hard core Beatles fans enjoy this album. I love how raw it is, it was pretty much a jam session. When you look up the history of this album you will appreciate it more. It's like someone getting into Hip Hop and then they listen to MF DOOM for the first time, they just wont get it.
General consensus on this album is, it's one of their weaker ones. You're not alone. I agree you should hear "Don't Let Me Down"! It should have been on the album for sure. Yeah go ahead and argue but surveys show! This is generally regarded as a weaker album.
If youve ever seen the movie " let it be", they perform a live concert atop the roof, and some karens called the pigs on a noise complaint, the pigs shut down the concert. That was the LAST time the beatles ever performed live in front of an audience.....i wonder, if those pigs only knew what they were doing, if theyd have just let them finish....imagine having to live with the guilt that you busted THE LAST BEATLES CONCERT EVER????
You gotta appreciate it for what they were doin, but I agree it's not one of my faves! But it's a stripped back acoustic album with music that can mostly be played live with just their instruments! Instead of the heavily produced stuff they went more traditional rock, but with horns and strings.
I agree, one of their weakest, the only album not produced by their usual producer George Martin. They were attempting to salvage some sessions that didn't go well. They actually recorded Abbey Road AFTER, even though it was released before this. Definitely a kinda sad way to go out for an often flawless band.
Let It Be is my least favorite of the late Beatles albums. But, it still has some fantastic songs. Probably, my favorite song on the record is Across The Universe.
Let it be album is pretty underrated but i think its mostly forgotten by how simultaneously trash and good the mixing by spector can be. That said im excited to hear how good is the 2021 mix going to be compared to the original .
I'm still surprised you are not pulling up lyrics, especially for the Lennon songs - which you constantly wonder what is being said, what's meant, etc. Geez - read the lyrics and start the Ponder. That's what Lennon does. I also enjoy you talking about ACROSS THE UNIVERSE... "very cinematic... like traveling around the sun... across the Solar System..." Uh. Like, uh, maybe across the universe, maybe?
I ME MINE was George's open slap at John and Paul using lawyers to claim everything is theirs, yours, mine. Earlier, the Beatles recorded George's NOT GUILTY (which never was included on a Beatles' album since it was considered too much of a slap in their faces - George was saying, "Hey, so what if I write a hit song. I'm not stealing your thunder. I'm not wiping out your hits. I'm not guilty of those recriminations." John and Paul didn't like being confronted like that. In year or two, Paul would do far worse against John (TOO MANY PEOPLE) and John's response (HOW DO YOU SLEEP AT NIGHT?) upped the ante. Their song-feud made George's two opening salvos seem like nuthin'.
ONE AFTER 909 was one of the oldest unrecorded songs from the Beatles' earliest '60s club gigs. This referred to someone catching the train just after Train 909 passed.
@@RonMishraI've seen all his reactions thus far and he's continuing "mystified" by Lennon lyrics, not understanding the words, etc, when in fact the liner notes often carried full lyrics that the original fans read along. Lyrics are even more readily available, as are notes about instrumentation, song histories, etc, many of which are this reactor's questions. Too confrontational about READING? Really?
This album is weird for me because half of the tracks are, in my opinion, some of the best in their career, and while I do enjoy a lot of the other songs on here, they don’t hit the same highs that some of the deep cuts from their other albums manage to
Don’t worry, I’m a huge Beatles fan and it’s my least favorite album, even though they did have 2-3 spectacular songs (including Dont Let Me Down which is their best track IMO from these sessions)
Yeah they weren’t interested in working with one another anymore. Especially with Paul. You can tell they half assed it and it was just chaotic with George Martin there but not even knowing his role since Phil Spector was there taking over producer duties. Thank God Paul decided to call up the guys and convinced them to make Abbey Road
Thoughts on the Album?
not my favorite, or even in my top 5, but have some good stuff in it

“Dig It” was an 8-minute imorovised jam that started from Dylan’s “Like a Rolling Stone”. But Phil Spector only used the very end of it.

It’s really too bad he died when he did, he was reaching a point in his life where he had really grown as a person and gained some much needed maturity and perspective… if he was here today I think he’d take back a lot of the bitter things he said/did in the early 70s
Glad you enjoyed it - they can’t all be your favorite, so that’s cool. I’m certain by now you have seen how the Beatles matured during their time together, and it’s reflected in the music.
On another note, I don’t know what camera you’re using, but that constant focus breathing drives me crazy. You really need to set it on manual focus so it doesn’t do that, if possible. Practically every camera will allow you to do that.
Across the Universe was slowed down for this album version, which made John’s vocals sound slightly warped. The actual, regular speed version is on the Anthology 2 set, and it’s a lot better, especially without Phil Spector’s orchestra.
Top selling musicians of all time. This was their last album released before they broke up.
Listen to the naked version!
Let it Be is not among the better Fab albums but there are some great tracks. Enjoyed your reaction video!
I like your review, 😉👌 I me mine is commenting on incentives in society creating the i me mine drive... That was 50 years ago, today, everyone is expected to produce their own brand.
Good review, most people just praise the Beatles, I like your honesty
nice !!! love your reactions
( i speak spanish but some english too)
one day listen to "Ram" Paul and linda Mccartney
1971
at the time they said it was baaad
it was waaay ahead of its time
With the reissue critics come to love this masterpiece !!!
now they know its brillant !!!
lots of beautiful melodies , rhythms and styles
After that , check Band on the run , Paul mccartney and Wings
maybe some day
This album is def not for everybody. Only true hard core Beatles fans enjoy this album. I love how raw it is, it was pretty much a jam session. When you look up the history of this album you will appreciate it more. It's like someone getting into Hip Hop and then they listen to MF DOOM for the first time, they just wont get it.
Please check out smile by The Beach Boys!!!!!!!
General consensus on this album is, it's one of their weaker ones. You're not alone. I agree you should hear "Don't Let Me Down"! It should have been on the album for sure. Yeah go ahead and argue but surveys show! This is generally regarded as a weaker album.
If youve ever seen the movie " let it be", they perform a live concert atop the roof, and some karens called the pigs on a noise complaint, the pigs shut down the concert. That was the LAST time the beatles ever performed live in front of an audience.....i wonder, if those pigs only knew what they were doing, if theyd have just let them finish....imagine having to live with the guilt that you busted THE LAST BEATLES CONCERT EVER????
Just wait until the new remix comes out and the long lost Get Back album!
You can also react to please please me to help! But of you dont want to you really should react to the beatles brief history by the beat goes on
Thanks for listening to let it be
You gotta appreciate it for what they were doin, but I agree it's not one of my faves! But it's a stripped back acoustic album with music that can mostly be played live with just their instruments! Instead of the heavily produced stuff they went more traditional rock, but with horns and strings.
BBC- British Broadcasting Corporation. Not what you were thinking.
I agree, one of their weakest, the only album not produced by their usual producer George Martin. They were attempting to salvage some sessions that didn't go well. They actually recorded Abbey Road AFTER, even though it was released before this. Definitely a kinda sad way to go out for an often flawless band.
You should try their early album With the Beatles always one of my favorites
Great album...raw Beatles
You should listen to let it be naked it doesn’t have anything to do with phill Spector
Country rock was the thing at this time which partially explains the aesthetic.
Good reaction... 👌
Let It Be is my least favorite of the late Beatles albums. But, it still has some fantastic songs. Probably, my favorite song on the record is Across The Universe.
It'll grow on you.
Only Beatles for Sale is worse than this album.
Beatles and Beach Boys are my favourite bands.
the song a long winding road means alot to me
I would recommend you to listen to some of their singles. These are top level again.
Let it be album is pretty underrated but i think its mostly forgotten by how simultaneously trash and good the mixing by spector can be. That said im excited to hear how good is the 2021 mix going to be compared to the original .
I'm still surprised you are not pulling up lyrics, especially for the Lennon songs - which you constantly wonder what is being said, what's meant, etc. Geez - read the lyrics and start the Ponder. That's what Lennon does. I also enjoy you talking about ACROSS THE UNIVERSE... "very cinematic... like traveling around the sun... across the Solar System..." Uh. Like, uh, maybe across the universe, maybe?
I ME MINE was George's open slap at John and Paul using lawyers to claim everything is theirs, yours, mine. Earlier, the Beatles recorded George's NOT GUILTY (which never was included on a Beatles' album since it was considered too much of a slap in their faces - George was saying, "Hey, so what if I write a hit song. I'm not stealing your thunder. I'm not wiping out your hits. I'm not guilty of those recriminations." John and Paul didn't like being confronted like that. In year or two, Paul would do far worse against John (TOO MANY PEOPLE) and John's response (HOW DO YOU SLEEP AT NIGHT?) upped the ante. Their song-feud made George's two opening salvos seem like nuthin'.
ONE AFTER 909 was one of the oldest unrecorded songs from the Beatles' earliest '60s club gigs. This referred to someone catching the train just after Train 909 passed.
@@RonMishraI've seen all his reactions thus far and he's continuing "mystified" by Lennon lyrics, not understanding the words, etc, when in fact the liner notes often carried full lyrics that the original fans read along. Lyrics are even more readily available, as are notes about instrumentation, song histories, etc, many of which are this reactor's questions. Too confrontational about READING? Really?
abbey road, please please me and revolver are my fav beatles albums. i also love Help
7:05 haha
Check out”Brief History of the BeaTles
It’s great
This album is weird for me because half of the tracks are, in my opinion, some of the best in their career, and while I do enjoy a lot of the other songs on here, they don’t hit the same highs that some of the deep cuts from their other albums manage to
Don’t worry, I’m a huge Beatles fan and it’s my least favorite album, even though they did have 2-3 spectacular songs (including Dont Let Me Down which is their best track IMO from these sessions)
There's versions of the song without the vocal effect
You should check out some of there solo careers after this
Album sucked because heroin temporarily took away Lennon's creativity. And Spector fucked it up even worse.
The best version of across the universe is on the anthology 2
¿ABBEY ROAD?
Already on the channel 👌🏾

Great lp....enjoyed his reaction
Ain't nothing country about the last song.
Few good songs, but not a good album.
Probably one of the weakest with some very good tunes , a few great and a few duds. They're starting to run out of steam for sure
Yeah they weren’t interested in working with one another anymore. Especially with Paul. You can tell they half assed it and it was just chaotic with George Martin there but not even knowing his role since Phil Spector was there taking over producer duties. Thank God Paul decided to call up the guys and convinced them to make Abbey Road
@@vincegonzalez6804 That McCartney work ethic saved the day again!!
But the music is still better than any hip hop and rap music now that rubbish people in Britain and Australia don’t listen or like rap and hip hop
I Me Mine would have been better if there was a keyboard solo in my middle.
