    I love the different reactions immediately after Guy starts the tempo faster. Jimmy is obviously irked because that's not what he wrote/rehearsed, T.B. Player is completely like a deer caught in headlights and only gets into the grove in the final chorus (lol), and Lenny (the member whose there for the fun) absolutely loves the vibe and encourages Jimmy to immediately go ahead and even compliments Guy's drumming later.
    Just love it.

    A lot of people don't appreciate how difficult it is to do what this movie pulls off. In the course of an hour and forty-eight minutes, we hear the title track played probably close to a dozen times, and we don't get sick of it. Imagine how much differently we feel about this movie if it's written around a less catchy-tune.

      The filmmakers did a great thing in recording the track DIFFERENTLY for each ambient situation they were in - from this school hall, to a pub, to an outdoor auditorium, etc. That was the greatest wonder about this movie - that they took the time to record the different audio environments, and also the level of skill applied at all those different places. As the group gets more experienced, the song actually gets tighter and slightly more complex as the film progresses.
      It's brilliant.

      The way the song was written perfectly captures the song composition style and structure of the mid 60s, as well as the twangy guitar sound and style of drumming. Same with the other songs in this movie.

      Status Quo only had one hit here in the USA in the late 60s, with the song Pictures Of Matchstick Men, but they were definitely not one hit wonders in England. They have had more charting singles in England than any other band.

    One thing I really like about this scene is that Steve Zahn's character is very much presented as the fool of the group, Tom Hanks later even says as much, but this scene shows that he's actually got a very good mind for music. He hears the tempo and immediately gets it and knows it's right for the song. Jimmy might be the smartest musically, he writes the songs and music, but Lenny had the better instincts.

      @mijnordna 3 года назад +19

      As a musician I was fascinated by the progression of the song from the balled Jimmy envisioned it to be to the uptempo pop hit it became, and how realistically it was done. The three part harmonies added later (and represented on stage with the bass player singing), the vocal flourishes on the first note of the verses that turned into a hook of its own, just fantastic attention to detail. And, that song! As someone who tried (unsucessfully) to write a great commercial tune that was simple and catchy but could stand up to repeated listenings, I can tell you it’s VERY hard.

    This argument about the tempo of their song was screenwriter Tom Hanks' loving nod to The Beatles producer George Martin, who famously promised John and Paul that if they turned their slow love ballad "Please Please Me" into an up tempo rocker it would become their first hit record. They did and the song became their first of many #1 hits in Great Britain.

      Yep, that is true. Also, John Lennon once said that he wanted his song "Help" to be played slowly. I'm not sure if I would have preferred that. I love the song as it is. That's what makes a great songwriting partnership. They complement and build off each other's ideas.

    • @That_AMC_Guy
      @That_AMC_Guy 4 года назад +7

      But it also sets the plot point that Jimmy wrote their big hit at a much slower tempo and was forced continuously to play it at the "hit" speed. This sets it up for when they finally hit the big time studio, and once again he's being told what to do causing him to freak out and quit. That way, his quitting the band doesn't come out of nowhere.

We took two cars, and good thing, as the car with most of the gear got a flat tire. So we shuttled everything back and forth with the other car, and we were late setting up. We were also already tired, hot and sweaty. The crowd was more than annoyed that we started late. We played an instrumental to get warmed up. NO response from a huge, packed house. Then we played DC5's "Glad All Over" and the place instantly exploded with cheers and applause the second we finished the song. What a trip that was. This song reminds me of that, but no Liv Tyler ...
