This video is nearly as long as Oppenheimer, for Christ's sake! But Revolver deserved it-all those hours and those sleepless nights were worth it to make this wonderful, giant monstruosity of a documentary. I'm very happy with how it turned out, and I hope you all love it too. Please don't forget to like and comment to help us with RUclips's algorithm. Oh, and if possible, write us some nice comments, will ya? We could use that extra love. Stay tuned-the next one shall be about _Rubber Soul!_ Peace and love, and stay clean. - Gus
The world needs more of these! Most of us have seen the Beatles Anthology but it's not nearly enough especially with so much material available now on the internet. I hope you keep expanding this as HUGE playlist of all you have done chronologically. Keep up the good work
Hopefully they are making an announcement remix of rubber soul by then!! @Gus did you create the website as I’ve been going there for close to a decade I feel. So thank you!!
Great video ...I'm sure you've read ' Revolution in the head 'as a musician I loved the detail but you clearly love the scousers ...their jump from love me do to revolver was exponential.
I think a lot of why Paul’s favorite tune of his is “Here, There, and Everywhere” might be because John made such a fuss over how much he loved it. I know Paul must cherish that memory of John telling him so in the hotel room, but John mentioned it many times in interviews after the Beatles split up…when things weren’t so good between he and Paul…I think after all the pain of what happened between Paul and his best friend, and adding the absolute horror of John’s sudden death - that song generated a simple, but sweet memory that Paul holds dear, and that stands out to him amongst all the others. Knowing all of that, it’s not difficult to understand why Paul might love that one little tune of his that much more than all of the other masterpieces in his catalog. What a beautiful daydream that song must bring to Paul❤ Dang…I just dove straight into McLennon-ville, didn’t I? 🤣🤣🤣 Anyway, @BeatlesBible1 - phenomenal job on a documentary of probably my favorite Beatles album (if it’s possible for me to have a favorite.) I absolutely enjoyed every minute of it! Much love - Toni from Alabama ❤️🐘
Gotta think of those three albums as the evolution of their sound and the expansion of their minds. The trilogy stands together with three very individual pieces. So I value them in that way. Each amazing stride is phenomenal and genre defining. I prefer Rubber Soul and Revolver though lol
Paul McCartney has been one of the most famous men in the world for about 60 years,and there's never been a bad story about him, guys a musical prodigee and all around decent fella
@@PaulFormentos People still don’t see it, and yet they call us names. I could stoop to that level too but I won’t bc I know the truth. Filming Strawberry Fields was very difficult for John especially.
Aged 7, alone in a big house, bored with my kiddie's vinyl, I started flipping through my parent's section. The cover drew me in, I sat on the floor listening ever more intensely. By the time "Tomorrow Never Knows" kicked in, I fell over backwards, virtually knocked out. I hardly spoke for days afterwards, processing what music could be and do... needless to say, no other track or even album has ever brought me close to that experience, but some of that Beatles-stuff is pretty good... 😄👍
I love how this video places Revolver in the context of the time when it was recorded. I feel it really enriches listening to the album in its entirety. Revolver was a stroke of genius that sparked the genesis of future albums, both theirs and other artists.
I bought "Revolver" when it was first released in the U.S.A. I was then a teenage musician playing in a band that covered some of the tracks from this album. I recently saw The Beatles perform their penultimate concert at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles. This video brought back so many great memories of those days from long ago. Thank you! Bravo! Well done!
That's awesome! I love personal Beatles stories as everyone has them....but especially from back in their actual day. My mom was at Shea Stadium '65 for her 14th bday!
@@BeatlesBible1 There is an interview here on RUclips "Anthony Baray interview..." (hopefully unedited)where the podcaster and I chat about growing up in the 1960s playing music in our part of Los Angeles and how The Beatles hugely influenced many aspects of our lives.
@@TupDigital My old landlord told me he was at that show too. He got so animated when recounting it. Watching that helicopter land and all the people screaming at the top of their lungs was the most exciting thing he ever saw, he told me. 😮
I thought I’d watch a bit of this last night, but I watched it all and I’m going to watch it again! I’m also sharing it in some groups. This is extremely well done. It’s not just another documentary, it’s far above anything else I’ve seen. Thank you for your hard work. You did a phenomenal job!
@@BeatlesBible1 I always felt they should have included the singles on their albums, but I don’t know if that would take away from other great songs we may never had a chance to hear on an album.
@@rickp3753 I almost brought this up. It’s a great what if. If both albums included the singles, I don’t think I could choose one over the other. I would consider them equal. Maybe REVOLVER would have a slight edge, but SGT PEPPER was the one I probably have listened to more than any other BEATLES record.
Amazing to hear how much of the creative process is like a stroll through a flea market or junk yard picking up this or that…discarding something after trying it out and at the end having…IT🎭
Ever since I knew The Beatles I was intrigued by 1966. That’s when their music changed and their hair was longer they rebel from Brian Epstein.The music had changed as well. Paperback Writer and Rain was a game changer. The bass on Paperback and the backwards slowed down on Rain was astonishing.Then Revolver was released and wow. The first album I ever bought was Revolver on CD I was 10 years old. I’m 40 now and I still have it😊
Our mum bought our dad Sgt Pepper and my twin brother and I took command of that LP. But as an adult, I came to grow into Revolver being their best work, but that came decades later, because when you're 5 yo, you get branded pretty deeply. Then Dad recorded a copy of Abbey Road and that became our fav as I taught myself how to play the Blues on guitar by dropping the needle on She's So Heavy when I were about 8 years old. Then my first LP of my own was Let It Be and my twin brother (drums) and me shed that record. We both get emotional when we hear I've Got a Feeling. His band covers Get Back which he sings on. But for sure, Revolver is my ultimate jam now. Tomorrow Never Knows is my all-time fav track of theirs.
Long live Revolver. I loved listening to this on my Bose speakers or my friends JBL 100s. Blasting out about a 100 watts of raw power of love. One of my favorite Beatles' albums/music ever!
Excellent Documentary, for Beatles sake! BEATLES 4-EVER! The greatest Rock band of all time, and the creators of Progressive Rock with this album! Thank you oh so much and many muffins and scones. Peace!
All credit to you guys for delving deep into this masterpiece. Among other things I was not aware of how great a lead guitarist and all round musician Paul was. Keep up the good work chaps!
The official narrative about 4 lads from Liverpool becoming the greatest songwriters in the world in just a few short years is just that, a story. Lots of cool pictures though, I was and still am a big Beatles fan. They are the reason I play guitar.
Incredible work! As a Beatles obsessed human since like age 3, I very much appreciate the level of detail and quality of source material seen here. Not easy to cover a monumental piece of art like Revolver with anything approaching comprehensiveness, but this comes as close as practicality allows. Really enjoyed this and will be watching more! Thanks!
Yeah, I always equate Revolver to the Banana album. Bold, pioneering albums made by Masters of their craft. Every song is a revelation. They changed music forever.
@@ArchStanton19966 Music is subjective but to say any of those 2 albums did not pioneer and break new ground for future genres would be a bold faced lie.
@@princebond True but that band and that album are overrated. I think there are as many people who say how great it is as there are people who think it's nothing special. What's so groundbreaking about it? It influenced people to start bands that would bore the hell out of listeners. I would say Zappa's debut album is way more influential and groundbreaking than that album. Are You Experinced would be another.
it is a sad and sinking feeling when you're in a band and try to introduce one of your own songs and instantly you can tell that the guys are really not interested in working on it, it makes just want to pack up and leave
Amazing work everybody who is a Beatles fan should see it I recommanded it to many friends...Well done, so informative, with people that were there not just jounalists that try to figure out what was happening. I can't explain how refreshing this documentary was to watch. Thank you for sharing such a masterpiece....
A quick note: there are not one but *two* fuzz guitars on "Love You To"--one fuzz, and one fuzz with a tone bender applied. They were buried in the original mix and hardly anyone realizes they were even there, but the remixed versions and outtakes on the "Revolver" box set give them much more prominence. Once you can hear them, it turns the song from a straight-up Indian thing to a really heavy acid rock performance. This is one of the most adventurous songs on the album, eclipsed only by "Tomorrow Never Knows".
Revolver is a masterpiece. Not the biggest Yellow Submarine fan but other than that, stellar from top to bottom. Rubber Soul through Magical Mystery Tour was their creative peak.
The White Album, some would say, extended their 'creature peak', And hey, Abbey Road. For gods sake. And then all the solo offerings; every Beatle, even Ringo, seemed to have a vault of material!!
This came on via an algorithm and I spent the whole afternoon watching it, not realizing almost 3 hours had gone by...which shows how fascinating it is. One question from the start was, why were they referring to "Taxman" as George's first song, and he hadn't proven himself, yet? Hadn't he already written and recorded "Don't Bother Me", "If I Needed Someone" and "Think for Yourself"...all brilliant songs and so true to his unique and influential style??
@@andrewarthurmatthews9990Meh, he got by. John, Paul, and Ringo were irreplaceable. Who knows how much better they could have been had they had a top-notch lead guitarist like a Clapton, Page, or Keith Richards.
All masterpieces. But this is not the only album where they pulled it off. How can one pick a "best" or favorite with so much greatness to choose from?
My God. I was 7 years old when I first broke into my big brother's room to steal this album and take it downstairs and listen to it. My parents were clueless as REVOLVER blew my little kid mind back in 1972. This video answers so many questions in my head that started all those years ago. Anytime someone asks me THE QUESTION, the answer is always Revolver (fyi -London Calling comes in second...). 👏👏✌✌😎😎
This is my second Beatles Bible video and I commend you on the content. Weaving all these quotes from different books and tapes is documenting all the available information in one video. An amazing effort. Thank you!
(bp) a masterpiece of scholarship and a fan's love. those rare photos (eg. paul in his backyard with guitar taken by brother mike, paul with girlfriend dot rhone) described but not seen in mark lewisohn's magesterial Tune In Volume 1 (which i've just re-read for the 4th time) are a pleasure to finally behold. what a treasure. i'm exhausted after watching this straight through. like Odysseus must have felt reaching Ithica. a big thumbs up.
Fascinating insight into the making of a classic. It confirms that creativity is a process of discovery and inspiration. It can't be bottled or mass produced.
Rubber Soul and Revolver had been their best albums...by far! And i will say thank you for creating such good, outstanding and excitening documentarys !! After listening and loving for over 30 years the beatles i still learn a lot here!!!
@@RogerPeet I remember when I got Revolver and looked at my cousin's Revolver album which was the UK version. I was confused and remember asking him "Why is your album different from mine?" The U.S. version of Revolver left out "Dr. Robert", "And Your Bird Can Sing" and "I'm Only Sleeping 💤" because the U.S. released the Beatles album "Yesterday and Today" (remember the butcher cover 🤣?) and those three songs were on there.
I have to say you really do your research well. From the age of 12 and first hearing the US release of "I Want to Hold Your Hand" I was mesmerized by them and wanted to know everything I could find and read (pre internet, pre- music streaming) and I remember collecting pop bottles and carrying them in by Red Flyer wagon to get the nickle deposit back on each one. I did that until I had enough to buy Meet The Beatles and every subsequent album and 45 they made. I listened on my portable low fi phonograph until I wore the grooves out of the vinyl. You have no idea how much I appreciate this work and imagine it must have taken a great deal of time. Your knowledge of the recordings were done is amazing. Yes I knew bits and pieces before but nothing this complex. Thank you.
This is truly excellent. Well-researched, well-written, well-edited, with lots of helpful visuals and voice clips. Thank you so much for the effort. I’m excited to check out more of your documentaries, and I’d be excited to see you make even more.
This was a very edifying piece. It obviously gave a pertinent and satisfying account of the Beatles rapid progress. In my recollection, Revolver quickly followed Rubber Soul, and that, in itself, constituted a deep new wrinkle in their music.
Revolver was the album where The Beatles truly EVOLVED as musicians. the masterpiece's got everything... soul psychedelic rock funk indian music orchestral piece pop rock etc.
I was a Top 40 Radio deejay on my first gig in Long Beach, near Los Angeles, California, when this album was recorded, and I was awestruck by their double-sided hit single RAIN/PAPERBACK WRITER. Then in the summer when the album was released I was mesmerized. Me faves at that time were Beatles, Stones, DC5, Beach Boys, Supremes, and The Ventures. And a new band called Frank Zappa and the Mothers of Invention, and The West Coast Pop Art Experimental Band. Great music, Good times!
it was this record made me a true fan, i liked Animals Stone Kinks and Who more, the early stuff was great but this album opened a seam in reality that you could step thru and be part of, a little bit with Rubber Soul, but this one was it
This was a truly outstanding production, hands down the BEST video I have ever seen on this time period in the Beatles career. Revolver has always been a massive influence over the course of my life because in some ways (my opinion,) it's more enjoyable at times than Pepper can be. But watching this video really helped me to put the music with the times that they Beatles were living in and what made the tracks come to life. Thank you for this gift you have given to the world, a great production for a great band!
I found this to be a remarkable documentary so thank you for the stellar content and obvious hours of effort that went into it. To me it got to be a little disconcerting to keep hearing who wrote what song, who contributed this line or that, or it was 80% Paul vs 20% John. I know there are some fans who crave that level of minutiae and I fully understand why, but it almost devolved into a urination contest. I saw a RUclips interview with George where he was asked to comment on why John felt like he wasn't given the credit he deserved as a role model & musical influence in the book I, Me, Mine. George flatly said John felt disrespected since he wasn't acknowledged for contributing one line of Taxman. The quiet Beatle didn't want to play the game of "well I wrote this refrain or that phrase" and I admire him for it. Sometimes too much information can ruin a good thing. Still, I'll be watching all these documentaries on The Beatles Bible channel. 🙂
I'm only 2 songs into this so far. I do believe Pete Shoddon had the inspiration for the grave bit at the end. I also believe George contributed to the "ah look at all the lonely people" part. John may have contributed a line or two (not 70%). I also think Paul gave the 'stabbing strings' instruction. Definitely not a Paul-only composition. Fascinating.
Totally enjoying this. So detailed, and we thank you for such an amazing effort. I did wonder about one thing... For No One is in 4/4 I think? Not a waltz, in any case. Such a great and haunting song.
Outstanding work. Always a pleasure when a DieHard Beatles Fan such as myself learns something new! (That's PAUL'S guitar solo on Taxman?!? WOW!!!) Thank you for your labor of love!
Wonderful documentary. Thanks so much. 🙏 I recall eagerly waiting for the next album after Rubber Soul when I was a teenager, but when I first played Revolver, I was stunned. What had happened to The Beatles? The Day Breaks was the only song I could still feel was them! It was traumatic I recall. But of course it was so far ahead and an amazing musical work. I just wasn't ready.
I believe that it’s their best- I got this album 😮 at age 12 and listened to it almost every night before going to sleep 🛌 having started playing Guitar at age 10’
This video is nearly as long as Oppenheimer, for Christ's sake!

Long winded but true
Who thinks Revolver is better than Pepper, I do.
Sgt is very uneven while Revolver is complete masterpiece (prefer Rubber, though)
That is a very good question. I like more songs on Revolver than Pepper, so I would agree.
@@piotrq7150 me too, Rubber Soul is their magnum opus IMO. Revolver and Abbey road right behind it, and maybe Sgt Pepper after.
I do too, but Pepper is a masterpiece.

To say Paul didn't help on Taxman is a understatement. Paul's bass part and guitar solo are some of the main parts in Taxman
"People" are dumbasses. Full stop.
He helped with the recording, yes, just not the songwriting.

Glad you enjoyed it!
This is my second Beatles Bible video and I commend you on the content. Weaving all these quotes from different books and tapes is documenting all the available information in one video. An amazing effort. Thank you!
(bp) a masterpiece of scholarship and a fan's love. those rare photos (eg. paul in his backyard with guitar taken by brother mike, paul with girlfriend dot rhone) described but not seen in mark lewisohn's magesterial Tune In Volume 1 (which i've just re-read for the 4th time) are a pleasure to finally behold. what a treasure. i'm exhausted after watching this straight through. like Odysseus must have felt reaching Ithica. a big thumbs up.
Fascinating insight into the making of a classic. It confirms that creativity is a process of discovery and inspiration. It can't be bottled or mass produced.
Damn definitive at just under 3 hours,. Well done
Glad you enjoyed it!
I loved hearing the "He said, he said" about "She Said She Said" with Lennon's version of the story set against Fonda's.
she's making me feel like i've never seen porn
Rubber Soul and Revolver had been their best albums...by far! And i will say thank you for creating such good, outstanding and excitening documentarys !! After listening and loving for over 30 years the beatles i still learn a lot here!!!
Revolver is the greatest album ever.
The U.S. version of 'Revolver' was missing 3 Lennon songs.
'Dr Robert' 'And Your Bird can Sing' 'I'm Only Sleeping' terrible
@@RogerPeet I remember when I got Revolver and looked at my cousin's Revolver album which was the UK version. I was confused and remember asking him "Why is your album different from mine?" The U.S. version of Revolver left out "Dr. Robert", "And Your Bird Can Sing" and "I'm Only Sleeping 💤" because the U.S. released the Beatles album "Yesterday and Today" (remember the butcher cover 🤣?) and those three songs were on there.
Those three needed on Yesterday and Today album to complete a PID clue from the song title sequence
“Revolver” is a MASTERPIECE!

I have to say you really do your research well. From the age of 12 and first hearing the US release of "I Want to Hold Your Hand" I was mesmerized by them and wanted to know everything I could find and read (pre internet, pre- music streaming) and I remember collecting pop bottles and carrying them in by Red Flyer wagon to get the nickle deposit back on each one. I did that until I had enough to buy Meet The Beatles and every subsequent album and 45 they made. I listened on my portable low fi phonograph until I wore the grooves out of the vinyl. You have no idea how much I appreciate this work and imagine it must have taken a great deal of time. Your knowledge of the recordings were done is amazing. Yes I knew bits and pieces before but nothing this complex. Thank you.
This is truly excellent. Well-researched, well-written, well-edited, with lots of helpful visuals and voice clips. Thank you so much for the effort. I’m excited to check out more of your documentaries, and I’d be excited to see you make even more.
Superb work!
This was a very edifying piece. It obviously gave a pertinent and satisfying account of the Beatles rapid progress. In my recollection, Revolver quickly followed Rubber Soul, and that, in itself, constituted a deep new wrinkle in their music.
Revolver was the album where The Beatles truly EVOLVED as musicians.
the masterpiece's got everything...
soul
psychedelic rock
funk
indian music
orchestral piece
pop
rock
etc.
love it ! !. never thought that there were a documentary about it.
Excellent work! Watched the whole thing in one go.
Settling in and pressing play. MY FAVORITE Beatles album.... close to my heart and an in depth look? I'm ready!
I was a Top 40 Radio deejay on my first gig in Long Beach, near Los Angeles, California, when this album was recorded, and I was awestruck by their double-sided hit single RAIN/PAPERBACK WRITER. Then in the summer when the album was released I was mesmerized. Me faves at that time were Beatles, Stones, DC5, Beach Boys, Supremes, and The Ventures. And a new band called Frank Zappa and the Mothers of Invention, and The West Coast Pop Art Experimental Band. Great music, Good times!
Love your channel and truly enjoyed this video. Well done, and thanks for what you do!
so glad you do these
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks, very much. Quite and education. Happiness and Peace.
Awesome Stuff👍
Excellent Work..
Any government that takes 90% of my earnings is a government I don’t agree with.
This LP came out the same year I finished high school. It's always been my favorite of all their albums.
it was this record made me a true fan, i liked Animals Stone Kinks and Who more, the early stuff was great but this album opened a seam in reality that you could step thru and be part of, a little bit with Rubber Soul, but this one was it
Same here 1966
Awesome!!! Good work and well done 👍👍👍👍
That's Great!!!
Great work! Lots of details and going deep into the stuff! Parabéns!!
Excellent documentary! Thoroughly enjoying it. Thank you for this. Rubber Soul is my favourite album but Revolver is a close second.
Yeah I agree ..there was no fat on rubber soul and it stank of ganga...the tokeing noises on Girl...lol
This was a truly outstanding production, hands down the BEST video I have ever seen on this time period in the Beatles career. Revolver has always been a massive influence over the course of my life because in some ways (my opinion,) it's more enjoyable at times than Pepper can be. But watching this video really helped me to put the music with the times that they Beatles were living in and what made the tracks come to life. Thank you for this gift you have given to the world, a great production for a great band!
What a great weekend what a awesome video have a great weekend also happy last day of summer also happy first day of fall ❤😊
This video is really good, nothing much I can say about it. It’s really different from your other videos. Thank you for your hard work❤
Great work guys! Congrats!
Thank you!
I am so soo happy I found this channel
I found this to be a remarkable documentary so thank you for the stellar content and obvious hours of effort that went into it. To me it got to be a little disconcerting to keep hearing who wrote what song, who contributed this line or that, or it was 80% Paul vs 20% John. I know there are some fans who crave that level of minutiae and I fully understand why, but it almost devolved into a urination contest. I saw a RUclips interview with George where he was asked to comment on why John felt like he wasn't given the credit he deserved as a role model & musical influence in the book I, Me, Mine. George flatly said John felt disrespected since he wasn't acknowledged for contributing one line of Taxman. The quiet Beatle didn't want to play the game of "well I wrote this refrain or that phrase" and I admire him for it. Sometimes too much information can ruin a good thing. Still, I'll be watching all these documentaries on The Beatles Bible channel. 🙂
I'm only 2 songs into this so far. I do believe Pete Shoddon had the inspiration for the grave bit at the end. I also believe George contributed to the "ah look at all the lonely people" part. John may have contributed a line or two (not 70%). I also think Paul gave the 'stabbing strings' instruction. Definitely not a Paul-only composition. Fascinating.
This is a beautifully crafted piece of work! I always enjoy the minutia you manage to reveal, Thanks much.
This is fantastic!
Totally enjoying this. So detailed, and we thank you for such an amazing effort.
I did wonder about one thing... For No One is in 4/4 I think? Not a waltz, in any case. Such a great and haunting song.
The Beatles. The great band of the world.
Fantastic video. Revolver is my all time favorite Beatles album. (Rubber Soul is second) Thank you 😊 for creating this video.
Thanks Beatle Bible for this great documentary!
Outstanding work. Always a pleasure when a DieHard Beatles Fan such as myself learns something new! (That's PAUL'S guitar solo on Taxman?!? WOW!!!) Thank you for your labor of love!
Fascinating documentary. Thank you
Fantastic!! Thank you!
Great piece of work Congrats
I’m early!! Great work to your production skills
Thank you!
Very good stuff !!!! thanks a lot
Long enough to feel like I was living it, yet so short I was sorry to find myself leaving it.
Wonderful documentary. Thanks so much. 🙏
I recall eagerly waiting for the next album after Rubber Soul when I was a teenager, but when I first played Revolver, I was stunned. What had happened to The Beatles? The Day Breaks was the only song I could still feel was them! It was traumatic I recall. But of course it was so far ahead and an amazing musical work. I just wasn't ready.
Great work. Thank you mate❤
I believe that it’s their best- I got this album 😮 at age 12 and listened to it almost every night before going to sleep 🛌 having started playing Guitar at age 10’
