The truth is, there are The Beatles, then there is everybody else.
I always think people should listen to The Beatles in chronological order in order to understand the genius, evolution and influence but they put out hundreds of songs in just 7 years so, it’s a lot. Most people can’t pick favorites let alone agree on which are “the best.” They’re all so good. ❤ (BTW, the guy’s name is George Harrison.)
ABSOLUTELY, that is the ONLY CORRECT way to go on a Beatles' journey.
@@patticrichton1135 Heartily agree, start with the BBC sessions, when they were doing RnB covers ala The Stones at the same (ish) time , the journey through Help to Sgt Pepper, White Album is epic ... this I just love to bits , so much going on musically , so tight musically, but vocally tight n overbearingly "easy" , such a solid parting shot towards the end of their reign ... and they look like (again) they're really enjoying it ( as are the "Plod" lol) ... love how George is proper cracking up over "Done me good" lol
@@cjwhiterabbit1 Actually the audio was dubbed on this video, or at least for that line. They did two takes of that song on the rooftop and others of course, in the studio. The reason George is laughing, (and they all were sort of) was because John forgot the line and just sang gibberish. Being the pros that they were, they just carried on without missing a beat and John 'regrouped' for the final bit. I'm not intending to nitpick but rather just pointing out what I found to be an interesting little fact about the Fab Four.
John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, Ringo Starr - Legends! Best. Group. Ever. 💞
Billy Preston is added on this album (Let It Be) and plays a fantastic organ on this....he is playing in the frame with the English "bobbies" (police). This is on the rooftop of the Beatles offices in London and eventually the police shut it down. Keep on the Beatles train...you wont regret it!
Ringo is the soul of the Beatles.
Yes Ringo's on the drums. The other one is George Harrison. This was their famous rooftop concert.
They were fantastic! Very inspirational. Thanks for going down this path.. ❤️
Thank you! I'm enjoying the journey😄
Last Live performance of all four together.....👍❣️
With Billy Preston on keys.
Without Billy Preston, Let It Be wouldn't be the album it is. If you ever watch Get Back, then you'll see the incredible change when he turns up. The songs they're writing really take shape with his input on the keys.
The Beatles were so big as a young boy growing up listening to them I can remember the local radio station here in Brisbane playing their latest hit record 3 times in a row just would not hapen today . But I can't remember which song it was there was so many !
On the Australian top 40 The Beatles held #1 position from 28th December 1963 to 13th June 1964. At one point in late May/early June the fab four had 4 songs in the top 5.
The odd song was Peter & Gordon's "World Without Love" written by Lennon & McCartney. Peter Asher's sister, Jane was dating Paul at that time.
Great reaction!👍...Music, hair & fashion the Beatles changed the world.
A Beatles song a week...Great idea. And the Beatles as solo artists would keep you going for years.👍
This is one of the most honest reactions!
Saw a recent video recently where Ringo was playing the drums with the Eagles. He still looks great at age 80+.
Yes...he looks great!
it's a real crime, they didn't show more of Billy Preston, on keyboard for this number!
In the Peter Jackson docu-series 'Get Back' there is quite a bit more video of Billy talking and playing when they were in the studio together but I agree, it would have been great to watch his brillliant playing and his always present and fantastic smile while carrying this song along on the rooftop.
For me it is a song about friendship. It´s that "Don´t let me down" what makes me realy feel intence. Excuse my bad english but I hope you understand my point. I love this song very much on the top of that roof infront of all those peolpe. That was legendary.
I've listened to The Beatles for over 50 years. George Harrison's career after The Beatles is well worth checking out. He not only had some great solos like, While My Guitar Gently Weeps and My Sweet Lord, but he was in The Travelling Willburys with Bob Dylan, Tom Petty, Roy Orbison, and Jeff Lynne. Some great music with much talent!
It would probably be good to start with their early stuff, which is fantastic and then follow them through their middle and later periods, where it's just one masterpiece after another! Lennon an McCartney are widely recognised as being the greatest songwriters of the modern era and probably of all-time, for very good reason. George Harrison was right up there, with them, too! The fact that all 3 were in the same band, is just insane! :)
Billy Preston on the keyboards was like one of the only extra musicians that played with the Beatles.
I remember they were on the roof of this building and the people started gathering below and the crowd grew and grew. Neat.
4 lads from Liverpool England...the rest is history. My first introduction to music on the radio, aged 3, and I heard The Beatles. My love for music has never died. I listen to them in the car, constantly, and I've heard nearly every song hundreds of times.
I miss John Lennon and George Harrison so much 😢
Love your Beatles reactions so much, hope you keep going with them !! Any of the Rooftop songs are a good place to start: Get Back and I've Got A Feeling are both ones that I think you could really get into:) It's so fun watching you listen to them, really brings out the joy I remember from discovering them for myself for the first time.
Excellent song! 👍👍🎸🎸🎸🥁😎
With the Beatles you surely have to start at the beginning man, enjoy really enjoy, it's amazing!!!!
The rock and roll circus Dirty Mac version of Yer Blues is another great live performance which displays Lennon's excellent rock vocals
This shows how talented they were. Just think they are out doors in the cold doing this.
To me it's Billy Preston's playing on the electric piano that really makes this song.
Boppin' stompin' crashin' bingo.....John, Paul, George and Ringo
I know this is a year in already, but I always tell people to start from the beginning with the Beatles..and, when I say beginning, I'm really talking about '64, on through to '70. Then onto their solo careers, where a lot of good music came out of, as well..When you go from that point on you can see how they grew with every album, every song..I grew up witnessing it all. Take my word for it, that time was special..13 albums, and over 200 songs in 6 years..Amazing time! That's all I'll say..Enjoy!
This concert was the last live public performance by "The Beatles".
Ooh, goosebumps! Love this!❤
Had to get older to realise how great and unforgettable the Beatles were. This is iconic - the final time they all played together. Had the pleasure of watching the Documentary "Let it Be" resulting in this performance. Compelling. Thank you for a well informed reaction . Really enjoyed it.
This concert, on the rooftop, was only two weeks before I was born, end of Jan’ 1969 (I appeared in Feb’) -so, yes, you are late to the adventure. Welcome 🎸😎🍷⏰
The Beatles stopped touring in 1966, yet had done some solo performances, and thought of doing a big concert after the recording of “Get back/Let it Be” (remaster sound and film by P.Jackson). They decided to go “up on the roof” in January, in London.
They had an American friend, Billy Preston, join them on piano/keys’ for this session. He is in the Rock Hall too, a great talent. If you rewatch, he is only seen like twice -with Police behind his keys’. The London Police were called, as this was during the day, and the Lads were disrupting office work, with this Rock music. Paul and Ringo, have since said they wished the Police had hauled them off the roof, as the film crew was there. A Police did unplug one Amp’ which annoyed the Beatle, you couldn’t name, George Harrison. George replugged his Amp’ and carried on. The Beatles last performance, Jan.30, 1969,…a half hour, in British Winter, of Rock Glory!! As, Lennon says at the end “I hope we passed the audition!” 🎸😎🥃
What's mostly missed here is George's innovative guitarwork on this track. It was always those types of choices that nade them who they were and set them apart.
Last live performance. The great Billy Preston on keyboards.
Oh and that's Billy Preston was on electric piano for this and Get Back. He's also played on Abbey Road.
When I was 8 yrs old in 1969- I was sitting in the ‘lunch shed’ & 3 girls sat across from me- I overheard them saying- ‘Do you like Paul or John?’- I didn’t know who they were talking about🇦🇺
The fifth Beatle, Billy Preston is playing the keyboards in this track
On the albums Produced at Abbey Road..on the vynl side A was pic of whole 🍏 Apple...Side B had a pic of Apple sliced right down middle.. showing seeds...lol
Well I think since you already checked out John Lennon on the rooftop you should check out Paul McCartney's turn. The song is called I've got a feeling. Paul rocked out like nobody's business he can use a soft voice or a hard one this one he has a very hard voice 😊
George Harrison , John Lennon, Ringo & Paul ! The BEATLES
This was the rooftop concert the cops tried to shut down but the fans convinced them to let them keep playing. You should watch the movie: "Across the Universe".
Start at the beginning for sure
The whole roof top concert was amazing, yep Ringo on drums, Paul Left handed Bass, john of course you know, the Other was George Harrison. Such a huge crowd was forming and choking the streets a shop owner called the Police who had to try and get them to stop.
I remember the day John Lennon was shot and I can remember it was almost as bad as when John f Kennedy was shot i was 10 years old then I personally liked there music put for younger men it was more about growing my hair I thought that was so cool still like the Bee Gees and also Greedance Clearwater Revival better known as CCR Great reaction
Thanks
They did this song twice on the rooftop. The first run through John forgot the beginning of the last verse and just sings jibberish. But the other take was actually the one used on the original single. Amazing.
The beginning would be a great start, you’ll hear the styles and years change, around 1965 is when they released the movie and soundtrack for Help and Also the Rubber Soul album in whick you’ll hear a totally different sound from them, the music was changing and like always they were ahead of their time. You’re really going to enjoy the journey. By the way its my first time checking you out, definitely subscribing.
People will say Paul had the best voice because it's very pretty and melodic. But, I absolutely DO like Johns voice the best because it has that rasp and raw emotion to it, and he can hit the high notes too. I love Georges voice as well, very unique and soulful. ( Like George himself!)
John had the most honest voice in rock.
@@billalbritton4972 Exactly! Well put. The best way to describe it!
Early songs,
She loves you
From me to you
I want to hold your hand
I agree with everyone else, please listen to early Beatles...1963-65, just to get an idea of how they began and how they got to this performance.
Get Back is the 3 part documentary, on Disney+. 58 hours if never before seen footage. I've seen it, highly recommended
Not on camera, Billy Preston jamming away on the organ! :)
Miss John’s edge
Check out live- I've Got a Feeling and Revolution
As far as the next Beatles song you should hear, for another surprising more obscure rocker you could do I Want You (She's So Heavy), or Everybody's Got Something to Hide Except for me and My Monkey. If you want an earlier one, you could try Help, if you want something psychedelic, I Am The Walrus, straight Pop: Hello Goodbye, love song (one by George): Something... with their music there are lots of surprises because they were always striving to find something new.
Its John,Paul ,George and Ringo
YES start at the BEGINNING with LOVE ME DO, their first single and their FIRST ALBUM '"PLEASE PLEASE ME" (wait until you hear the song Paul McCartney wrote for his wife Linda in 1969 for his first solo album "McCARTNEY" (1970) You should watch "I'VE GOT A FEELING" from this same Apple Corp Offices roof top.
Regarding Apple Corp., it is the umbrella company for the various businesses belonging to Apple. The business suggestion made to avoid the Beatles losing even more money to taxes yielded Apple Boutique. By 1968 there was Apple Publishing, Apple Records, Apple Films, Apple Studio, Apple Electronics and Apple Retail.
I'd start with their first single, released in the UK in late 1962, and end with The End, the penultimate track from their last album, Abbey Road.
If you don't want to listen to every track on every album, maybe take each album, in order of their UK releases (not the Capitol cobbled together US albums) and ask us for our recommendations of our top 2 or 3 must listen tracks from that album and take the top voted 2 or 3 to react to. As they move on the themes and music become more complex and diverse, and the albums become more like concept albums that need to be heard as a whole, or groups of songs eg the Abbey Road Side 2 Medley, or whole sides, so you may find then you're wanting to listen to more. But for the first 2 or 3 albums, 2 or 3 tracks from each would do, I think, plus, check the UK release dates and add the singles and B-sides from the same period to include in your audience poll..
I think you would like to react to "oh darling" from them
Check out Tabaco Road by Johnny and Edgar Winter,,.. Beatles I me me mine.
listen toi Tomorrow never knows........ Honey dont....Dear Prudence
Pauls little hip movement 😂is a nod to elvis 🤘❤️. Oh, i will say before any clown out here, tells this man here that there was a 5th beatle. I might hurt someone😂
Start from the beginning, and do it chronologically.
And still guns everywhere in USA !

Listen to Revolution 1968 john lennon
Oh Darling
Helter Skelter

He shouldn't "jump around randomly" in their catalogue, but start at the beginning and work chronologically as they were released, in order to understand how their music evolved and progressed from 1962 through 1970
I'd start with the White Album, it's so intriguing and it's another drastic change between Sgt Peppers period and This Get Back/on roof period.... And it's also more rock on John Lennon's voice
The story goes that John, George and Ringo borrowed their wifes coats, because it was freezing up on the roof... And now that look is iconic!
ps Paul didn't, coz he's proper 'ard, see
LMAO “Yoko Ono is controversial.” Supposedly there are a few people who don’t find her despicable but I don’t know if they’d admit it without their face blurred.
Disagree. I like Yoko!
"She done me good" -- oral sex. The art exhibition of his drawings of he and Yoko was busted for obscenity during this period.
Yoko was not a nice person. She made John’s son, Julian PAY for some items that she had of his dad after John was killed. There’s a lot more too. She and John did heroin together. He looked terrible during that period. So many fans don’t like her for very good reasons.
I'm sorry to say this... But this song is NOT LIVE. You have the original images from this performance, but the sound is coming from the album. You should listen the TRUE live performance to judge by yourself. I think it is better than this one. Also, you can have it in 4K with their last Get Back Movie released recently.
This song was never on the "Let It Be" album but was the B side of the "Get Back" single. Now in 2003 on the release of the "Let It Be Naked" Lp which McCartney wanted released without all of the Phil Spector strings. The only benefit of that release for me was "The Long And Winding Road" which is great. Another version of "Don't Let Me Down" does appear on the "Naked" Lp but it sure ain't this rooftop performance.
They performed this song twice on the rooftop and both are 100% live as hell. Maybe you're confusing this with the "Hey Jude" and "Revolution" videos that they performed on the David Frost Show in 1968.
Sorry, I hit send by mistake. "Hey Jude" and "Revolution" were not completely live. You can google it and research it, I'm not going to go into all that here. The best true version of "Don't Let Mr Down" is the B-Side version to "Get Back".
Listen to it from " The Past Masters" CD, it's incredible and the only one I ever play unless I'm watching my "Get Back" DVD. The entire "Get Back" series is totally fascinating and a great watch.
@@dougsusie2319 I should have 'single' instead of 'album'. But this is the studio sound in this clip.
I 100% agree with @Doug Susie, this is "100% live as hell"! The studio clip has John yelling "Hey!" in the final chorus, which doesn't appear here. Just by watching this, and seeing the filming of how they did it through Peter Jackson's documentary in the Disney Series "Get Back", you know it is live. I am assuming you never watched it because it would be baffling for you to come to the conclusion that this is a studio version if you did.
@@boblabinne Sorry nope, your wrong. If you watched "Get Back" you would see that their producer George Martin and Glyn John's who coproduced the album were in the basement recording and watching through a live feed. This isn't 100% live, its 1000% live. I don't know where you got your info from but its wrong wherever you got it from. Just watch the performance where the hell are you seeing lip syncing at, I'm totally baffled at that one. I guess we'll have to agree to disagree. Peace
