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.
@@bingsinatra5283 is there a complete footage of this performance? its only this 4 min song??? theres no after footage to be found?! ugh i hope jackson has a good stash of let it be footage
'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. 'Revolution' (and the warm up jam) are audio only extras on the 2019 reissue set. There's a multi camera cut of Yer Blues too, but it's just a four screen version of the same take. PS. Michael Jackson never owned the rights to Let It Be, it was The Beatles publishing rights he bought (now controlled by Sony). I actually think the surviving members don't want it re-issued because it doesn't show The Beatles in a particularly good light.
At 74 I want to cry, as there is no future music like this. Eric, Mitch, John and Keith. You could never find a better combination of men taken from their own magnificent bands. Love you till the end of my days

@@Junior13113 John liked to use his good friend from the early days Hamburg, Klaus Voorman. He was a great bass player, listen to the bass intro of your so vain by Carly Simon for evidence of his inventiveness.
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.
@@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
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....
"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.
@@roycemoltisanti1469they showed this on PBS in the U.S. recently during a fundraising show. They also showed another song with Yoko yelling into a microphone.❤
"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
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
Greatest Band Includes An A Greatest Song And Includes A Five Greatest Artists And A Genius Musicians John Lennon, Keith Richards, Eric Clapton, Mitch Mitchell, Yoko Ono
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
@@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.

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"
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!
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! Wyman: "Geez, they could've asked me for the bass spot!
Nearly 2 years having not performed in front of a live audience, John Lennon proves he is the most formidable rock 'n' roller of all time. He commands the stage by default. The greatest rhythm-lead guitar player of all time.
Lyrics to sing along Yes, I'm lonely, wanna die Yes, I'm lonely, wanna die If I ain't dead already Girl, you know the reason why In the morning, wanna die In the evening, wanna die If I ain't dead already Girl, you know the reason why My mother was of the sky My father was of the earth But I am of the universe And you know what it's worth I'm lonely, wanna die If I ain't dead already Girl, you know the reason why The eagle picks my eye The worm he licks my bone I feel so suicidal just like Dylan's Mr. Jones I'm lonely, wanna die If I ain't dead already, yeah Girl, you know the reason why Black cloud crossed my mind Blue mist round my soul Feel so suicidal Even hate my rock and roll I'm lonely, wanna die If I ain't dead already Ooh girl, you know the reason why
It's pretty straightforward. Keef wanted to play bass with John so much he wouldn't let Bill do it. Clapton literally joined a band with John less than a year later.
Of course not, they knew each othe for long. It was not like they looked at him as a god like many fans do. They were incredible musicians on their own.
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.
When you put The Beatles, Cream, the Jimi Hendrix Experience and the Rolling Stones in a blender, you end up with such a raw, smooth and unforgettable performance. I wish these guys could have cut an album. What we witness here are four great artists at the very top of their game performing.
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.
John Lennon was a soulful White man, and an unbelievable Rock n Roll frontman. Could sing a range of genres, one of the true greats. Not an artist today can compare to his complete act

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.

Rolling Stones Rock And Roll Circus, 1968

i was asking myself the same thing lol.
Man he just had one of the coolest voices of all time. Just raw emotion pure and uncut
That’s my Johnny❤️💔
He's taking the piss. That's what the Beatles have always done.
John: IM LONELY. I WANNA DIE.
Yoko: *good song john.*
A witty remark.
He actually wrote this when he was with Cynthia
This must be Yoko's best performance ever
Her best performance as a large piece of black cloth. lol
@@max2082 no her best performance cause we can't hear her the black bag doesn't really matter!

My favorite track on the White Album.
Cool
But this isn't the White Album. It's the Rolling Stones Circus with the Dirty Mac - Lennon, Clapton, Richards and Mitchell. WOW!
@@richardseegman803originally from white album 🤯
Yessssssss.
Super of the super groups. Man I wish they would have released an album.
yes
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
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
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....
Lennon, the real king of rock. His voice delivers what he feels at the right moment with amazing ease.
John Lennon is the greatest songwriter of all time.....the King of rock and roll was, is and always will be ELVIS !!!!!!!!
@@ITILII Chuck Berry will always be the King to me. Sorry.
@@ITILII How dare you disrespect Chuck Berry like that? THE true King of Rock n Roll
Agree
@@ITILII Paul was a better writer tbh lol
John's voice is powerful, trully missed this legend
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.
Felt like I was dreaming while watching this! F’ing 60’s supergroup!
John's voice is screaming like a Gretsch guitar with distortion, so powerful🔥🔥🔥
well said!
greatest live rock singer ever
Such a shame he didn't use it much after this, and turned to ballads instead
Looks like his faithful Epi Casino...
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
@@roycemoltisanti1469they 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.
Yoko playing undercover was her best performance ever BRILLIANT!!
I think Dirty Mac showed John there was life beyond The Beatles.
"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

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.
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 Dirty Mac!!.1 of the best Blues/Rock bands ,I ever seen & Heard!!!😮
One of the best vocal performances EVER. Top notch af, 10/10.
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
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

Yoko frigging Ono ! Give me a break!
@@brutus4013 You're too kind Brutus! To call Yoko Ono a genius musician is blasphemy even to average musos. Talentless wailing wa23er.
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
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.✌️
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.

They're still debating which one was more popular.
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"
Astounding performance. Lennon just tears this song apart. No histrionics. Just pure power and soul.
What a lineup. A pantheon of rock royalty right there. If you know you know..
"The eagle picks my eyes the worm he kicks my bones feel so suicidal just like Dylan's Mr.Jones"what a great lyric.the greatest line ever written.

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;)
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!
Fantastic! Cannot stop watching the pure energy from these 4 legends
Seeing these 60s legends in a 4K cinematic live video is just mind-blowing

John Entwistle: "Damn it, I knew I shouldn't have gone to the bathroom."
Keith Moon: "Hold my beer."
Yoko- "geez, john didn't invite me to scream like a freak in this performance"
Nearly 2 years having not performed in front of a live audience, John Lennon proves he is the most formidable rock 'n' roller of all time. He commands the stage by default. The greatest rhythm-lead guitar player of all time.

Lyrics to sing along
Yes, I'm lonely, wanna die
Yes, I'm lonely, wanna die
If I ain't dead already
Girl, you know the reason why
In the morning, wanna die
In the evening, wanna die
If I ain't dead already
Girl, you know the reason why
My mother was of the sky
My father was of the earth
But I am of the universe
And you know what it's worth
I'm lonely, wanna die
If I ain't dead already
Girl, you know the reason why
The eagle picks my eye
The worm he licks my bone
I feel so suicidal just like Dylan's Mr. Jones
I'm lonely, wanna die
If I ain't dead already, yeah
Girl, you know the reason why
Black cloud crossed my mind
Blue mist round my soul
Feel so suicidal
Even hate my rock and roll
I'm lonely, wanna die
If I ain't dead already
Ooh girl, you know the reason why
Thank you
Beautiful lyrics.
@@osamabinladen824 Nice that you are still rocking. I knew Bush was fake. Like most yanks 98% bullshit and 2% authenticity.
BRILLIANT
Clapton and Keef both know how ridiculously good it is to be playing with John.
What
No me parece
It's pretty straightforward. Keef wanted to play bass with John so much he wouldn't let Bill do it. Clapton literally joined a band with John less than a year later.
They loved to play with John!
Of course not, they knew each othe for long. It was not like they looked at him as a god like many fans do. They were incredible musicians on their own.
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
When you put The Beatles, Cream, the Jimi Hendrix Experience and the Rolling Stones in a blender, you end up with such a raw, smooth and unforgettable performance. I wish these guys could have cut an album. What we witness here are four great artists at the very top of their game performing.
They could do an album is 3 days.
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.
2:29 this shot of John just vibing is what gets me.
John Lennon was a soulful White man, and an unbelievable Rock n Roll frontman. Could sing a range of genres, one of the true greats. Not an artist today can compare to his complete act
Haha imagine modern/today's artists trying to play something like this. Maybe some session guys, but they don't have the look or attitude.
and some bastard shot him
@@robertcooney1938now blues is played by any suburban kid from a nice home whose mom bought them a guitar and they usually hate modern black music but love old black blues 😂🤨
