When the Beatles first recorded this in 1963, on one of the takes (available on several bootlegs but NOT on the Anthology 1 release)...at the very end, you can hear John asking George "What the hell was that?" referring to the guitar solo George had just played, which was somewhat awful. Six years later, George more than redeemed himself, playing stellar lead guitar that just rips!! In the 6 years between takes George had become an amazing player! Dig DmGrk
John Lennon, feeling how great they performed, despite the temperature freezing their hands and the wind trying to blow their voices away: "I hope we passed the audition."
Did you notice how he changed his approach to the bass lines between the two different versions? Also when on his version it´s almost as if he holds back as not to show Lennon´s singing up too much.
@@jaelge What? There is just one version of this song. The voices have been isolated on the tracks by the poster.John and Paul are singing together the baselines do not differ.It's Tech Magic!
@@fougee1: 😆 You're right, I´m retarded, sometimes. Leaving my comment just so I don´t look like a poosy that can´t admit he's wrong. 😆 🤣 Embarrassing, but I´ll get over it. ☮
Thanks Fougee, that's why John is inaudible on the second one, and Paul's is inaudible on the first one! Also if you compare the two, it's clear John sings a lower melody and Paul is singing higher harmony. I actually didn't notice all this at first. Duh me!
Playing outside in cold weather can wreak havoc on your hands and a guitar's tuning. It great to see this video and I grew up in that era but geeze that opening groove was blowing my ears off.
I remember when this happened, and for those of you who aren't aware here's the blub from Wikipedia about this concert: "On 30 January 1969, the Beatles performed an impromptu concert from the rooftop of their Apple Corps headquarters at 3 Savile Row, in central London's office and fashion district. Joined by guest keyboardist Billy Preston, the band played a 42-minute set before the Metropolitan Police arrived and ordered them to reduce the volume. It was the final public performance of their career."
John has the dominant vocal on this tune. I think the truest Beatle vocal is John over Paul. Paul has a better voice overall but his highs compliment John a little better than the other way around. One man’s opinion.
Год назад+21
True. Paul's technique was impeccable particularly on his 68 - 71 era and he was way more versatile and in vocal control than the others, but John's raw emotion defines the lead vocal beatle sound. The way they compliment each other when John sings lead is wonderful. I love Paul's lead vocals but there was a reason why John rarely took the higher harmonies, and it works much better like that. Paul can reduce and adapt his high notes on command to blend with John's much better than the other way around (John's attempt to a 2nd vocal on I've got a feeling depicts this very well, he could only push to get to high notes). I think their voices are the special element in the Beatles.
@ Yes, and there was a reason why John sang on most of their great covers. There was a reason he was the Beatle's lead singer as demonstrated on this song.🤷♂
Without a doubt. It's hard singing lead when you're on bass (though Paul is one of the best at doing so), but that said, Lennon's gravel, grit, and pathos blow this song out of the water.
All great comments here and as soon as you’ve completed the analysis on both sides,,,, you have factor in George! OMFG! A third great voice. That’s the Beatles!
They attempted recording the song during the sessions for the first album in 1963 and never played it again until the Let It Be sessions in 1969. When else did they play this song in their lifespan?
As Lennon told biographer Hunter Davies in 1968, “I’d been kingpin up to then. Now, I thought, if I take him on, what will happen? It went through my head that I’d have to to keep him in line if I let him join. But he was good, so he was worth having. He also looked like Elvis. I dug him.”
Definitivamente el tema está hecho para Lennon, Paul hace lo que puede. Fuerza mucho la voz. Una linda rareza que no había visto y escuchado. Estos tipos siguen con la magia intacta, indestructible e imbatibles al paso del tiempo.
@@presto709 I never say Paul's version before. It's rougher, and tragically, John's mike isn't coming through. But George's guitar is even better on this take than the printed track. But ... John had the better voice for this song, anyway.
@@aquamarine99911 Two versions of the same take, each with the audio from one of the vocal mikes muted. The complete version made the lp/theater release.
@@grouchomarxist666 Oh, thanks for explaining that. So Paul's singing a sort of harmony part during the verse. That's why his voice doesn't sound as punchy as John's. But George's guitar just sounded clearer to me on the "Paul version". I'm too lazy to go back and compare it to "John's version".
@@ruelitocayamanda8162 No different than any other instrument that all the Beatle's could do. That's just a performer's talent period. If you don't play and sing you have no idea what you're talking about. Any good musician can do this.
With John's dead mic in the second version I was reminded of those live TV appearances where one or the other's mic was dead. I'm surprised it happened here where they had better personal control over their sound
Well, it didn’t happen here. It is the exact same performance. In the first one, Paul’s mic was muted just so we focus on John’s voice. The second one, it is the other way around. That was done by the person who edited the video.
The song is suited to have John sing the lead vocal-it's too bad you can't hear Paul's voice in the first sequence. I am more impressed how Paul can sing and play an awesome bass at the same time!
John is much much Better as a ROCKER ..... sorry but PAUL maybe has a better voice for Ballads not here ... definitely !! John is really riveting and charming .... Everybody is charmed and follows along !! What a lead-Singer !! [John] [ He said he did not like his voice .... Strangely enough I think his voice is unique !]
I've always wondered how cold it was that day. Does anybody know? John at least has a warm coat, but Paul only has a blazer which, I'm guessing, isn't enough.
Genial. Será possível separar os vocais de "If I Fell", "Because", "Nowhere Man" ??? E principalmente isolar os vocais do Paul do coro de "Hey Jude"???
wow how tf u made this? totally awesome I suppose they recorded the voices on different channels (idk if they're really called that) and not on just one, right? It does not detract from the video, very good.
When it came to rockin out John was the rawest and he was the best in any live performance in the 60s while they were still a band ,Beatles slaved in the early days doing live shows ,they were a true live performing band and that is why after all of the super experiential albums that changed music they all decided to get back the roof top and jam out one more time ..
Mccartney wanted to do something live. Harrison didn't. He only did it, essentially, because he was outvoted. Lennon didn't seem to give much of a toss. Mccartney pushed for it. It had nothing to do with a band returning to the glory days of their live performances because they missed being that band.
@@christopheranderson1968: I played in a band with my best friend and playing is like sex, in that even when you have to be talked into it, it´s still pretty damned good.
‘The pipes , the pipes are calling’. Mind you, knowing Lennon he probably would have changed it to something like ‘the pies, the pies are calling’ just for a laugh. It’s the old Irish ballad ‘Danny Boy’.

George's guitar playing is great,and what a sound

For a throw away song, these guys still had the rock'n roll spirit before they turned 30 years old! They be rockers till the end!!
Yes, Moe ! They kept the rock, they kept the roll, they've kept our hearts (and our ears!) to this very day.❤
Ringo's drumming is on point.
Ringo was an awesome drummer. You might say that he was a minimalist drummer, which is a lot more challenging than it may sound. He made it look easy.
In his prime Ringo was one of the best rock drummers of the era.
🥁🥁🥁
That song wouldn't have worked as well without billy preston on piano
The sound! It’s so identifiable! Only the Beatles 🥳🥳🙏🎉🎉
Pauls bass playing along with Georges sweet fills on lead is fantastic.

John Lennon the best straight rock & roll singer -he literally blows songs out the ball park, such perfection, thanks for video.
Lennon was an absolute political assbag. Yes his harmonies were an equal part but McCartney was the driving force.
若々しいジョン・レノンやジョージ・ハリスンを見ると思わず涙がこぼれます。 ジョン、ジョージ天国で安らかに眠って下さい。
Great to hear the beauty in Georges guitar playing with John cut out.
Wow Paul was so expressive!!

Got these on c-casette like 78 or somethin in radio show about the beatles..dig it ! and seen the original documentary this is pure gold thank you!
George's contribution was the icing on the cake!
They still rock and they rule. They rock and rule!
Very cool, fleet-fingered soloing and riffing by George, in his classic late-Beatles-era style: bluesy, fluid, funky. Dig it,
I see it was filmed in stunning Vert-O-Rama! Perfect for viewing on cellphones.
The true gods of rock,
that every other rocker
wishes they could be.
They where amazing 😻🥰
Wow what footage! The person who took this must feel proud

The last concert. Who would have thought then...
We miss John!
I really dug this. Thanks.
Damn, these dudes could play!
Great tune
Always thought THE BEATLES were at their happiest whenever they played this song at different stages of their lifespan....
John and Paul were still in their teens when they composed and first performed this one.
@@kosmokritikos9299 Written by Lennon alone

Awesome!
fantastico!

amazing bass playing by Paul. on every note.

John wore this one better. And George wore it better when he played a Duo Jet. But it was ALL a gift to the world!
John was the Boss Beatle
Pure Rock N' Roll ! 👍
never had respect for Paul's talents/genius/Voice, but I can now say, without "PAUL'S" gifts there would be no beatles...
Try singing and playing the bass at the same time. Then, you will realize Paul's talent.
Needless to say.
What ???
Paul is THE legend in my mind, but I would also add they were called the Fab Four for good reason. Loads of talent in that band.

Love this.
George looks like he could come up with 909 places or things he rather be doing right now...
Harrison could not stand Billy Faul at all.
Wow. even as far back as 1969 people didn't know to hold their iPhones horizontally when filming video.
It annoys the heck out of me!!!
I love Paul’s voice but Lennon’s voice was meant for this song.
Rooftop footage reveals what they would have been like gigging again. Wow missed out there.
Very cool vid Beatles4Ever
They look like they're freezing but what a great performance they put on.

Fantastic isolation of voices. 👍👍👍
3rd track should have been the full combined version
I like hearing John's voice without Paul's.
This was fun. Wonder who all the suits were. How many people could say they were up on the roof for this? Fabulous
I'm under the impression they all worked for the record company.
♡
Somehow I never saw or even knew about them doing this song on the roof.
A great surprise for you then Nelson X. Hope you enjoyed it.
John is much much Better as a ROCKER .....
sorry but PAUL maybe has a better voice for Ballads not here ... definitely !!
John is really riveting and charming ....
Everybody is charmed and follows along !!
What a lead-Singer !! [John]
[ He said he did not like his voice .... Strangely enough I think his voice is unique !]
Now let’s get George and the Ringo singing lead!
I liked John’s lead vocals more.
uau, nunca tinha ouvido assim
I've always wondered how cold it was that day. Does anybody know? John at least has a warm coat, but Paul only has a blazer which, I'm guessing, isn't enough.
Exelente video gracias por compartir.salud9s Desde Argentina 🇦🇷💪
This is so cool
Defiitely johns song.
Paul is better.
Scandalous that the police put a stop to this once-in-a-lifetime event.
Великая группа, как жаль, что распались...
How did you separate their voices from one another. I think that's so cool.
John's singing is better for this song. Plus John composed it.
Adorei a foto de capa do vídeo, em que eles estão com outra roupa. Alguém sabe quando foi tirada?
It was very cold that day and it shows.
Genial. Será possível separar os vocais de "If I Fell", "Because", "Nowhere Man" ??? E principalmente isolar os vocais do Paul do coro de "Hey Jude"???
ok I will try !
It’s one performance shown two times with the voice tracks isolated.
George is all set for zgreen screen. Someone please put funny feet on him! He'd love it❤
Cool!
wow how tf u made this? totally awesome

Who is this band? They're pretty good. 😊

I am interested in the photo at the beginning showing them with different clothes. Did they do a soundcheck? Or is that Photoshop?
What does John say?: "Oh Danny boy, the old what calling..."? I could never figure that out.
‘The pipes , the pipes are calling’. Mind you, knowing Lennon he probably would have changed it to something like ‘the pies, the pies are calling’ just for a laugh. It’s the old Irish ballad ‘Danny Boy’.
here Paul is only harmonizing with main vocal by John
The picture on the video before playing it is different they are wearing sweaters? Why isn't it on the video????
Ya, that was definitely a john song.
The Last Supper. Beatles Style.
YA habia celulares en esa epoca? jaja que esta filmado asi ;)
So even back then some people just couldn’t turn their cell phone the right way when making videos.
Interesante . Es como que , realmente , la canción aparece mejor delineada cuando se escucha cantar solo a Lennon
Picking between John and Paul is like picking between Tony Dorsett and Emmit Smith
What is the image you see at the beginning before pressing the play button?
Did you travel back in time to shoot this with an iPhone?
I with theyd turn their camera phone horizontally

Why does the thumbnail have them dressed in different clothes? Very strange!
