Vladimir Sánchez: The only thing which could've made it even more epic was if Keith Moon had been on drums, John Paul Jones on bass, Clarence Clemons on sax and Ray Manzerak on organ/keys.
A piece of The Beatles , The Rolling Stones , Cream , and The Jimi Hendrix Experience. If this wasn't recorded a lot of people probably wouldn't have believed it happened.
I just found about this. I was listening to the album and Lennon’s talking about this to Mick and I’m thinking he’s talking shit, probably high. Eh, here it is.
@@johnnihil1689 I was kidding lol because that's how long it will take for them to die. Actually Paul said Apple is making new version. It's expected to be done by next year.

This been on here since the early days, not by this ABKCO-VEVO channel tho. Back in the day it was way easier to get cool recommendations because there were ACTUAL recommendations instead of stuff you have already watched on the right. You could find the coolest things.

'Yer Blues' (with Jagger and Lennon's introduction) and 'Whole Lotta Yoko' were filmed and are on The Rolling Stones Rock'n'Roll Circus blu ray and dvd.

That would have been nice but John was still in The Beatles, Eric just split up with Cream a month earlier ,Keith was still a member of The Stones and Mitch was still a member of the Jimi Hendrix Experience.That would have caused contractual problems with their record companies.

Lennon was a true genius, this performance is the greatest testament to his phenomenal vocal cords & stage presence! Showcasing him as one of the most iconic rockstars who ever existed. 💜✨
Now listen to Baby It's You from Live at the BBC and try to reconcile the fact that it's the same singer.... he mastered every vocal style he attempted.
John Lennon was an underrated rhythm guitarist with no doubt but is it just me or his live vocals were far more rich,soulful, and emotive than any prerecording could ever capture? His voice was amazing live.
Not seeing Lennon sing live during this period of the Beatles is what we were most robbed of by them not touring. All we got is early Beatles concerts. We missed maybe the greatest rock shows ever. Apparently the Abbey Road rooftop was originally supposed to be the Beatles playing White Album songs in a live televised concert. They should have stuck to that. It would have been amazing.
@@Junior13113 Not to suggest Keith is a hack on guitar, but he's always been the rhythm guitarist. Ronnie Wood has long been the lead, and Brian Jones before that in the original band. Given that, his finger work on the bass is pretty impressive! As a bass player, I can appreciate that. Wasn't surprised at all to see Eric on lead, but quite surprised to see Keith on bass.
@@scotdunlop4949 Oh yeah, for sure. I can always appreciate a multi-faceted musician.

Um Cara Qualquer How romantic of John Lennon to forget the lyrics twice! of his paean to his obnoxious and untalented girl friend, Yoko Ono, during the sloppy Apple Studios rooftop concert on January 30,1969. One of those performances was originally included in the "Let It Be" film, with the flubbed lyrics, for all to see. The people who mixed the "Let It Be...Naked" version of "Don't Let Me Down", had to combine two performances on the rooftop gig to make one whole version without the Lennon flubbing of the lyrics at different parts of the song. I've never understood why Producer Phil Spector didn't include the studio "B" Side version of "Don't Let Me Down" on the original "Let It Be" album but included the dreadful throwaways "Dig A Pony" and "Dig It"!!!
@@8rr725 I don't think it was broadcast at the time, for a few years anyway, the rolling stones were involved and got it buried as they didn't like their performance

put on your headphones shut your eyes and sit back and take in all that this track has to offer- you will not be disappointed... i can listen to this on repeat and it recharges the soul....
@@barrylydianthey showed this on PBS in the U.S. recently during a fundraising show. They also showed another song with Yoko yelling into a microphone.❤
3:28 to 3:50 is pure Rock n Roll magic: from that epic shot of Clapton, Lennon and Richards' feet tapping in unison, to Mitch missing the queue for the hard stop while Lennon laughs and Richards shrugs his shoulders to Lennon tuning a string while still singing and playing the song.
You can think of it as Mitch screwing the arrangement. For me it sounds like it was okey arrangement but Keith rushed the note and screwed the execution.
@@lous8619 I agree, ringo was a perfectionist type technician drummer he was always right on point to whatever he was doing never ever over doing it or falling short of what was needed. He was a professional musician not a banger or show off. Just did his role without flaw
"Yer Blues" for any other group, other than the Beatles, would probably been considered a great hit. The Beatles had such a vast catalogue of awesome songs, this one, seems to get overlooked as a classic.
The Beatles? Thats some of The Rolling Stones...The Jimi Hendrix Experience....Cream/Derek & the Dominos,AND The Beatles You cant be very old to make that statement. If you're over 30 im surprised
@@albertoruiz-dm1de listen to the guitars on the studio recordings of “Sympathy For The Devil” and “Gimme Shelter”. Both were recorded when Brian Jones was out of it and Mick T had not yet joined. It’s all Keith.
@@adamkhan1480 And Keith also played not in time, he rushed and so his note wasn't the same time as begining of Mitch's transition. You can think of it as Mitch screw the arrangment or it was the arrangment and Keith screwed execution.
@@bichiyalboys John was definitely the most talented, but each of the others were in some of the greatest groups of all time; stones, cream and hendrix experience; so I think it was still a honor for lennon to play with them
This is an absolute classic angsty rock/blues number. All four musos were on song. Mitch Mitchell was a legend of a drummer. Keith on bass was rock solid. Eric on lead, what can you say. Signature styling and added so much to the song. And of course, John. This guy's musical brain is second to none. His voice. The emotion. The rhythm guitar - superb. I reckon he really loved this gig. He was always such a great performer.
Lennon what can you say- he just had that aura about him that no other musician had or has had since. He seemed to have a prescience that all others unbeknowingly bowed to. He was just above all others
"But I am of the Universe, and you know what its worth" is a meaningless reference to New Age religion. Yer Blues is the worst Beatle song I ever heard, and I don't care who plays it.
@@cruzgonzalez8326 This is like alternative rock before alternative was a thing. Anxiety in John's vocals, simple yet very stressed rhythm, abstract lyrics, time signature changes and breaks outta nowhere, etc.
People today don’t realize Lennon was the actual king of rock’ roll. He was the one people followed, the press was fascinated by, the one other guys wanted to play with, the one doing an entire week on a talk show, giving one of the great Playboy interviews, preaching peace and love. And by remaining a bit aloof and not needing the rock ‘n’ roll lifestyle and the adulation and even walking away for a while it made him more legendary. There’s a reason 40 years after his death thousands of people still gather in Central Park each year. He’s still the only celebrity death that I remember exactly where I was and what I was doing when I heard.
@@jefffawcett And it carries till today! Bona fide start like Phil Collins, Steve Lukather, Dave Grohl and so on strangely shrink when paired any of the surviving Beatles.
This is the best live vocal performance of all time as far as my ears can tell. How the fuck does he not completely shred his vocal chords here? Pure fucking magic.
On the Beatles version if Twist and Shout he did lose his voice immediately after, so there's only one take. It's THE definitive version of a song covered by every band in the world at the time.
In high skool as a insolent punker,metal fucker....a hippy kid wore a john lennon tee shirt....i sneered.....in time i have utmost respect for John Lennon.....i heard the radio unfriendly music.....and thats what i love....raw and true.
Clapton: "Geez, I'm playing with Lennon, Richards and Mitchell! Richards: "Geez, I'm playing with Lennon, Clapton and Mitchell! Mitchell: "Geez, I'm playing with Lennon, Clapton and Richards!

1:01 My mother was of the sky 🎸 My father was of the earth 🎸 But I am of the universe… 🎸 *AND YOU KNOW WHAT ITS WORTH* 🎸 Absolutely love that verse! Gets me every time!!! ✌🏻❤️🎸
The Dirty Mac was a Supergroup par excellence! John Lennon, Eric Clapton, Keith Richards and Mitch Mitchell on stage together... Pure Magic! Pure Rock 'n' Roll!
WHAT A GIG! Lennon could tear up a vocal chord and keep singing. 1:59 John goes into a whole sacred level of singing and Clapton just smiles like "My GOD he is good"
John could really rock it out when he felt like it. Not only did he sing and write the songs he also played rhythm and lead himself. He makes the rhythm the lead at times. And the little riffs he puts on choruses and such are pure genius.
Jackson Winkleson no doubt. Probably the best riff guitarist of all time. But nobody, even Keith, is going to tell John to not play his guitar during his own song.
What a band. John Lennon on vocals, Eric Clapton on guitar, Mitch Mitchell on drums, Keith Richards on bass and Yoko Ono on blanket

Keith played several basslines for the Rolling Stones too. He ain’t no flub on the bass.
Sympathy for the Devil is my favorite example.

@@8rr725 I don't think it was broadcast at the time, for a few years anyway, the rolling stones were involved and got it buried as they didn't like their performance
wasnt that from back to the future? lol. and yeah i do love it. my friends think im crazy but i dont care
Yes!!!!!!! Best comment!!!!! And for the people in the comments that were asking about this comment, it's from the first back to the future movie. It's a great scene
put on your headphones shut your eyes and sit back and take in all that this track has to offer- you will not be disappointed... i can listen to this on repeat and it recharges the soul....
The coolest thing ive ever stumbled upon. Why isnt this short lived supergroup not talked about?
because the tv special this was scheduled to be on never aired.
Yoko
@@barrylydianthey showed this on PBS in the U.S. recently during a fundraising show. They also showed another song with Yoko yelling into a microphone.❤
Glorified drugs🤫
Because the Stones felt the who upstaged them, and they really did.
Richards bass playing is insane, what a lineup.
Yoko playing undercover was her best performance ever BRILLIANT!!
I love how this one transcends from bluesy to classic rock !!!
3:28 to 3:50 is pure Rock n Roll magic: from that epic shot of Clapton, Lennon and Richards' feet tapping in unison, to Mitch missing the queue for the hard stop while Lennon laughs and Richards shrugs his shoulders to Lennon tuning a string while still singing and playing the song.
So great so great ....mistakes are made ...love it ...not this packaged crap put out today
You can think of it as Mitch screwing the arrangement. For me it sounds like it was okey arrangement but Keith rushed the note and screwed the execution.
Ringo was much better than people like to give him credit for. Rock solid drummer.
Hahaha, yep. Doesn't get much better.
@@lous8619 I agree, ringo was a perfectionist type technician drummer he was always right on point to whatever he was doing never ever over doing it or falling short of what was needed. He was a professional musician not a banger or show off. Just did his role without flaw
"Yer Blues" for any other group, other than the Beatles, would probably been considered a great hit.
The Beatles had such a vast catalogue of awesome songs, this one, seems to get overlooked as a classic.
One of my top five
The Beatles?
Thats some of The Rolling Stones...The Jimi Hendrix Experience....Cream/Derek & the Dominos,AND The Beatles
You cant be very old to make that statement. If you're over 30 im surprised

Keith Richards is fantastic on bass! Love his groove.
Yea, Is fantastic on bass and very bad guitar player
Too bad it's so out of tune!
@@MacbthPSW That's right
@albertoruiz-dm1de yeah and you're watching him on RUclips
@@albertoruiz-dm1de listen to the guitars on the studio recordings of “Sympathy For The Devil” and “Gimme Shelter”. Both were recorded when Brian Jones was out of it and Mick T had not yet joined. It’s all Keith.
When Keith picked up the reprise post-solo at 3:39, John gave him an appreciative smile and Keith winked back. Two leaders in a band. Very cool.
Mitch missed a cue
@@adamkhan1480 And Keith also played not in time, he rushed and so his note wasn't the same time as begining of Mitch's transition. You can think of it as Mitch screw the arrangment or it was the arrangment and Keith screwed execution.
John was by far the FUCKING leader
@@63002 True, but if anything Keith was the 3rd wheel as Clapton was the ace who pushed Keith to bass.
Who cares who the leader was or wasnt...they were musicians jammin & enJoying each others talents.....LISTEN.✌️
One of the best vocal performances EVER. Top notch af, 10/10.
Each of them is thinking, "Damn, I can't believe I'm playing with THESE three guys!"
the other 3 , not lennon
except John xd
@@bichiyalboys John was definitely the most talented, but each of the others were in some of the greatest groups of all time; stones, cream and hendrix experience; so I think it was still a honor for lennon to play with them
4 guys
John was such a titan that he forgot which Bowie songs he featured in! 😂
Felt like I was dreaming while watching this! F’ing 60’s supergroup!
This is an absolute classic angsty rock/blues number. All four musos were on song. Mitch Mitchell was a legend of a drummer. Keith on bass was rock solid. Eric on lead, what can you say. Signature styling and added so much to the song. And of course, John. This guy's musical brain is second to none. His voice. The emotion. The rhythm guitar - superb. I reckon he really loved this gig. He was always such a great performer.
He generally looks like he didn't expect Lennon to be so true to the blues soul
Seeing these 60s legends in a 4K cinematic live video is just mind-blowing
Lennon what can you say- he just had that aura about him that no other musician had or has had since. He seemed to have a prescience that all others unbeknowingly bowed to. He was just above all others
The Alpha of rock!!!
Totally agree,nobody comes anywhere near him.
prescience or presence ? they are different
Yeah it’s the silly auto spell on my I-phone - presence
@@b577960 : ) Know what you mean. He was an exceptional person
2:10 love that feeling while playing some rock and roll.
Only Mr. Lennon could do something like this. He took blues to a different dimension here. A real blues-rock, clever and soulful at the same time...
He was mocking blues songwriting but I do agree that he took it to something else plus the sarcasm in the lyrics make it even better to me
to a different dimension? what do you mean?
"But I am of the Universe, and you know what its worth" is a meaningless reference to New Age religion.
Yer Blues is the worst Beatle song I ever heard, and I don't care who plays it.
Because he doesn't have one. Neither do you.
@@cruzgonzalez8326 This is like alternative rock before alternative was a thing.
Anxiety in John's vocals, simple yet very stressed rhythm, abstract lyrics, time signature changes and breaks outta nowhere, etc.
40 years old, a massive Lennon fan for a father and I'm only just discovering this now! Better late than never. Absolute banger!
I discovered the Beatles at age 17. Still love them and I'm 38.
I first saw this with my grandad who taped the Rolling Stones circus when I was 15. 17 years later and it gets better each time I see it! 😀
same here;)
3:38 Yoko Ono slowly rising at the bottom right of your screens. What a performance
Her best one
I literally never noticed that until now lmao
You should see/hear what happened next.
The Greatist moment of all time in the history of rock music...
oh my what fire line up. i wish they did a full blues rock album it would have been glorious.
John lennon, just forever the coolest guy in a room full of the coolest people. Absolutely NOTHING to prove.
People today don’t realize Lennon was the actual king of rock’ roll. He was the one people followed, the press was fascinated by, the one other guys wanted to play with, the one doing an entire week on a talk show, giving one of the great Playboy interviews, preaching peace and love. And by remaining a bit aloof and not needing the rock ‘n’ roll lifestyle and the adulation and even walking away for a while it made him more legendary. There’s a reason 40 years after his death thousands of people still gather in Central Park each year. He’s still the only celebrity death that I remember exactly where I was and what I was doing when I heard.
@@jefffawcett he’s immortal , a man amongst boys in the rock roll game
@@alex11v3 strange...
@@harrythomas1252 Troll..do NOT take the bait.
@@jefffawcett And it carries till today! Bona fide start like Phil Collins, Steve Lukather, Dave Grohl and so on strangely shrink when paired any of the surviving Beatles.
Sometimes I forget what an amazing singer John Lennon was
Dont forget it
He was a real rocker
His voice, his range, his RaGE was gear as f*ck
How did you forget? He was in the goddamn Beatles. That’s like saying you “forgot” Picasso was a great painter.
The thing is, he doesn't sound like this all the time. This is a truly remarkable moment.
John: IM LONELY. I WANNA DIE.
Yoko: *good song john.*
A witty remark.
He actually wrote this when he was with Cynthia
What a lineup. A pantheon of rock royalty right there. If you know you know..
Marvel: Avengers is the most ambitious crossover event in history
Meanwhile in the 60's:
Avengers is barely a crossover.
@@applescruff1969 no shit sherlock
The Beatles inspired and were the reason for Rocket raccoon. From the song rocky raccoon!
No kidding. The Rolling Stones, The Beatles, Cream AND The Jimi Hendrix Experience! No act could ever top that!
btw the image quality is also better. 50 yrs till we can see it in the quality is meant to be...
That voice really scratches an itch in my mind. It's an incredible performance
Great way to put it!🕊☮💖
John's voice really is powerful.
Greatest supergroup of all time , even if just for a day.😎🥃
The band's name is: "The Rolling Beatles Cream Experience" ;-)
Now at Starbucks!!
@@terrybacon818 hahahah
Omg 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Eric and the Stone Rolling Beatle
Damn muthas shoulda toured. They'd've made good.
This is the best live vocal performance of all time as far as my ears can tell. How the fuck does he not completely shred his vocal chords here? Pure fucking magic.
On the Beatles version if Twist and Shout he did lose his voice immediately after, so there's only one take. It's THE definitive version of a song covered by every band in the world at the time.
Lennon, Clapton, Richards, Mitchell...damn, Imagine if they'd have released an album together...
God, just thought about it for a second, probably it would have been one of the biggest albums ever
Maybe their managers did not want - it was a real supergroup with god Clapton on guitar and Mitch Mitchel as one of the best drummers
@@parisss01 and how many sets of album would you purchase? are you capable?
Super Group of eternity. It's a shame they didn't do an album.
impossible the gods wouldn't have allowed it
In high skool as a insolent punker,metal fucker....a hippy kid wore a john lennon tee shirt....i sneered.....in time i have utmost respect for John Lennon.....i heard the radio unfriendly music.....and thats what i love....raw and true.
Bravo 💪🏼
Clapton: "Geez, I'm playing with Lennon, Richards and Mitchell!
Richards: "Geez, I'm playing with Lennon, Clapton and Mitchell!
Mitchell: "Geez, I'm playing with Lennon, Clapton and Richards!
Lennon: "Geez, I'm playing without the Beatles!
Beatles: "Geez, John Is playing without Us!

Keith Moon: "Hold my beer."
Yoko- "geez, john didn't invite me to scream like a freak in this performance"
All time classic goosebump moment ! Lennon’s voice is great !
You mean goose pimples.
Where I’m from they’ve always been called goosebumps . Same thing , different variation or colloquialism I guess . Cheers .😎🖖🏽
Lennon, the real king of rock. His voice delivers what he feels at the right moment with amazing ease.

one of my all-time favourite beatles lyrics, which honestly makes me feel a little silly knowing he wrote the song as a parody!
I always feel like the “I AM OF THE UNIVERSE” line should be flashing white times new Roman text on a black background
In Egyptian Mythology, this would make John Lennon SET.
@@DrTomoculus HELP cover has Egyptian symbolisim
Astounding performance. Lennon just tears this song apart. No histrionics. Just pure power and soul.
Beautiful trio
The Dirty Mac was a Supergroup par excellence! John Lennon, Eric Clapton, Keith Richards and Mitch Mitchell on stage together... Pure Magic! Pure Rock 'n' Roll!
Lennon will Live FOR EVER.
Damn!! God Bless You, John
They're still debating which one was more popular.
Dirty Mac should have done at least one album 🤔
I just jumped on here to say the same thing. Would've definitely rocked for sure...
Just saying it wouldve been one of the best
would have been great
I would've had to go back in time and be the first in line to buy it, if that happened!
It would have been too powerful
My favorite version of Yer Blues. Play it again!
WHAT A GIG! Lennon could tear up a vocal chord and keep singing. 1:59 John goes into a whole sacred level of singing and Clapton just smiles like "My GOD he is good"
John could really rock it out when he felt like it. Not only did he sing and write the songs he also played rhythm and lead himself. He makes the rhythm the lead at times. And the little riffs he puts on choruses and such are pure genius.
Hell yeah, listening to this at 7:20 a.m. , waitin' to go to work.....the workin' man's blues.
Nailed it, Robert...have a great day!
Have a good one robert!
Working class hero
Lol...its 7:34 in the morning waiting to go to work
Fantastic! Cannot stop watching the pure energy from these 4 legends
You know you got a killer lineup when Keith has to resort to the bass. Lol.
We’ve seen this before, but the quality of this video is insane!
Keith is a better guitarist than John was.
@@Y0utubeIsFuckingHomo john never was the lead...😕
Jackson Winkleson no doubt. Probably the best riff guitarist of all time.
But nobody, even Keith, is going to tell John to not play his guitar during his own song.
Guitar players:
Clapton > Richards > Harrison > Lennon
Real talk
This song has been my current mood for the covid quarantine. Stay safe folks.

especially with yoko..
yes they are

Opposed to the Beatles?
The absolutely BRILLIANT JOHN LENNON! This is REAL MUSIC!!!
Big Boss Lennon, Clapton's look and smile of surprise and admiration around 2:10 min says it all.
The greatest supergroup ever!!!
Keith was pretty dope on bass.
