That’s the real reason they stopped touring. They wanted to perfect their inanimate technique. Unfortunately, they broke up before they could take it on the road.
Let's be honest, they kind of forgot how to play it, and they were just fooling around in any event. George seems to have remembered the guitar solo though.
You don't need to "read" music" in order to compose. After you compose the song, you can hire some other asshole to "write it down" on a piece of paper. The person who knows where to "find" the gold is infinitely MORE important than the guy who digs the hole. LOL
This is the thing that breaks my heart about their breakup and John’s death. Their harmonies, sounds and style were yin/yang. We missed out on so many things that could have been. 😢

Yea it was a rocker for sure. They cut it from the film because the producers thought it was too hard. I like whats going on in the song. Cow bell congas and the over all driving mood of the song. I find it ironic that during that time certain interviews with Lennon where he stated we've moved on from the early mop top days and said we aren't going around singing She Love You anymore but here they are fooling around with a song from the early days.
They are always a joy. Rough tracks or final mixes, just wonderful. I'm glad I grew up with their music - I am lucky to have had them make my early years something more enjoyable. They were a gift.
Kudos to Ringo catching on and staying playing beautiful little embellishments, they sound decking great and you can hear the joy in just playing whatever comes up and out...a certain magic in making music in this way.
The messing around this way still captivated me. It’s like they’re saying “hey, who remembers……hmm, I don’t, but let’s have some smiles winging it” Their spirit, always fueled the fun only they could create ❤️
I know what you are saying but it is easy to forget that "You Can't Do That" was recorded less than 5 years before this recording. They had so many hits in between Feb of '64 and Jan '69 that it seems like a lot longer. If a big recording star sang a tune today that they recorded in 2017 we wouldn't think of it as an oldie.
@@davidpanzer1166 Considering they hadn’t played it since September 1964, that’s hardly surprising. They’d made a lot of music and taken a lot of drugs between then and the start of 1969.
A hard days night is still one of my favorite albums , that whole album is extremely underrated compared to how people view their later work as their best and not blaming them because there’s no such thing as a bad Beatles album 😂 But this was Lennon’s/McCartneys first album of ALL written songs by them. The whole track list is just perfect to my ears from start to finish. This album was the beginning to what separated The Beatles to every other band making music in the 60’s, album has aged beautifully
If anyone wants to know about Beatlemania and what all the fuss was about, just play them that album. Lennon and McCartney turning out fantastic songs like their lives depended on it.
Agree 100%. Not only is it the finest album of their ‘early years’, it is up there in the pantheon of their greatest albums. You simply cannot be in a bad mood when listening to AHDN, and you damn sure can’t sit still either. This is what you play for someone to explain what Beatlemania was all about.
It is always encouraging to amateur musicians like myself to hear the Beatles, arguably the most successful band in history and sound musicians in their own right, sound like me and my buddies strumming thru a song we're trying to learn.
@@davidpanzer1166 Had they known the "Nashville Number system" they would not have had such a heard time remembering the chord in the middle eight on "green"
For our 25th anniversary, my wife and a few friends got a band together. One semi-pro, the rest fair amateurs. We voted on the set list, this one made the cut. Probably the best song we did. Well, after "Summer Time Blues" by Eddie Cochran ... the only cover The Who ever did.
I think this was the song left out of Hard Days Night movie. They asked for 6 new songs and they wrote 7. I grew up with them 12 when they did Sullivan. What a fantastic journey.
@@bobbystereo936 many years ago I saw on PBS Charlie rose show he interviewed Walter Shenson who was sent by the studio to England to produce the movie. It was such a great interview. He told many stories regarding AHDN.
I heard the Beatles and George Martin wanted to have 14 songs for the UK album but had to settle for 13 because Ringo got tonsillitis and they had to get Jimmy Nickol ready for the Aussie tour. I wonder what that 14th song would have been.
It's clear that they forgot this song the way they performed it in 1964. But it's extraordinary hearing this. But one can't help wishing they performed it with the same cohesive quality of the mid 60s version.
It's actually close to being bizarre to me. Like a cover how anyband in anytown would play it. I guess they were really always "of the times" and those times, although only a few years back , had passed.
John's vocals and rhythm guitar were there as well as part of the iconic solo, sounds like Paul is on drums, George could be playing bass and Ringo is probably not there. I listened to the original track, and as a musician, there's no way Paul and Ringo could forget the straight forward driving beat of this great song, unless they were just screwing around as they often did. Still great to hear them jam to it 👍👍
It's definitely Ringo on drums. They're fooling around, and there's no reason whatsoever to think they would have forgotten something simply because they played it in a different manner.
@@kantarelljulletjolahopp5607 Ringo is known for his steady beat and pocket presence as well as instinctively playing in the groove of the song. Go listen to the original track and you will hear how Ringo rides his cymbal and not the high-hat and never adds any fills as a non drummer would. It's definitely not Ringo in any manner.
@@that70sschwinn I'm a drummer since many years back, been studying Ringo closely more than I've studied any other drummer, and the sound of the playing here is Ringo. The sound and feel of the playing here is the same as it is on all tapes from the Let it Be sessions. With all due respect, I cannot for the life of me understand why you think that Ringo, or anyone else for that matter, would be bound to play a certain song the same way every time he plays it. This recording is only a pretty unserious jam.
@@jk4675 A Hard Day's Night isn't even in their top 5. It's riding out the more boring elements of rock they got out of their system before elevating the form entirely. It doesn't hold a candle to Rubber Soul, Revolver, Pepper, the Mystery Tour era, the White Album, or Abbey Road. Hell, it's not even as good as Help! or Beatles for Sale. And you are incorrect about the writing. Collaboration was still quite normal in '64 between John and Paul.
See this is the thing. When some other group covers a Beatles song they are just covering it because they don't understand the song down to its bones. When the Beatles cover one of their songs they reinvent it because the song is in their bones.
@@normandavidtidiman9918 True. But my point was that the vast body of work they put out in a relatively short time span seems like a much longer time period.

John didn't have a solo live performing career. Toronto, the 1972 appearances ( One to One, Mike Douglas, the Jerry Lewis telethon ), and Elton John at Madison Square Garden were exceptions. Also, looking like a complete weirdo, he performed "Slippin' and Slidin'" on a telecast in honor of Sir Lew Grade ( called "Sir Low Grade" by someone, probably Lennon ) in 1975. Otherwise, he didn't have a post Beatles solo career.

its called musical ventriloquism. read a book.
😂😂😂
Crazy how in 1969, the song was only 5 years old, but with their growth in those 5 years, it may as well have been 30 years old
My thoughts exactly. Pop music moved lightning fast during the 60s, and the Beatles moved the fastest of them all.
Let's be honest, they kind of forgot how to play it, and they were just fooling around in any event. George seems to have remembered the guitar solo though.
Very well said and oh so true !
Dylan, psychedelics, Vietnam...it all influenced them.
A "Beatle" year was equivalent to 5 normal years!!
Notice how even when John and Paul are totally messing around, Ringo sticks right with them for every bit of it, still laying it down
They couldn't read music but they turned out to be the best composers of the 20th century and beyond.
