19:45 this goes so hard

All the instruments and the voices were recorded into one single track. I don't know why they decided to do that when they had all the resources they wanted. EMI never denied giving them what they wanted to complete their albums. I guess they were lazy at the end.

Billy was such a big part of the band in 1969.

would it be possible to separate the vocal tracks?

Buddy Holly would FLIP if he heard this!….if only😢

Paul notes on the bass from 5:55 to 5:57 went totally out of tune, but, only because it was isolated, it was the first time I could notice!

always wondered about 9:25 where the piano stops for a few moments before starting again

Billy is the real 5th Beatle 🤷‍♂️

What software do you use to isolate the individual tracks from The Beatles’ songs?

“Ticket To Ride” is definitely in my Top Ten Beatles’ songs list. It’s the one Lennon-penned song that I equate to McCartney’s “Penny Lane” in that it’s a pop tune that I could listen to a thousand times in a week. And by the end of that week, if I only had two choices given to me to either listen to it a thousand more times the following week, or to be given a pill that I was told would “un-alive” myself in the most painless and peaceful way possible, I’d choose to listen to the song a thousand times more by the end of the following week.

This may be the most perfect song ever written and performed. It’s so unique. Every note following the first could have no alternative. The drumming is imaginative and soulful, the harmonies stirring, the baseline iconic. Their talents conflate to achieve the pinnacle of songwriting.

Ringo's drumming was absolutely brilliant!, not just the solo alone but throughout the entire Abbey Road album right to the end!

Definitely “Rye”. You don’t hear a “d” at the end of it. Rye is a town in Sussex southeast of London.

I also heard them say that part of the reason why they got rid of Pete best was that his timing wasn't that great. He would speed up and slow down and he was all over the place compared to Ringo whose timing is just rock solid

It's a great way to experience Ringo's rock solid timing. He's a human metronome with perfect timing.

Ringo MADE this one! Paul's bass, too!

Absolutely beautiful orchestration on this song. Hearing the completed track in the studio for the first time must have been incredible.

A masterpiece

John actually played the riff on this song.

*B A S S*

Del Shannon always explained with studio drummers that he was looking for a Ringo style. Don’t over play, keep the beat and add nice fills when needed.

Flam snare,tap snare,Flam on tom & playing 3 different beats in the song

I wish McCartney would come clean one of these days and confirm the real title was 'TICKET TO RYE' and confirm all the stories the Capitol Records, when issuing the single in the US, thought they said Ticket To Ride.

Read Ian MacDonald's book "Revolution In The Head" about the complete in-studio recording history of all their songs. He found that Ringo only messed up about 10 times in recording. Baring in mind The Beatles could do scores of takes for an individual song. The other 3 made a lot more errors.

Fantastic!!!

At 14:13 John's guitar is cut from the mix. Then it's back again at 14:37. Such an interesting arrangement decision. They probably wanted the last verse to sound more "orchestral" so the strings were lifted in the mix while the guitar was cut off.

Billy’s keys are great!!!

According to the Bob Spitz biography, John doubled his vocals on this tune (as well as many other later songs) because he did not feel that his voice was strong enough. If you listen to the backing vocals carefully, you can clearly hear John's voice doubling, not Paul's, most easily heard begining at 15:49 ("He wear no shoeshine..." through "he got walrus gumboot"..., etc. and verses beyond. However, Paul does contribute characteristically high "woo"s in the far background ( 17:10 )

Love George Harrison's lead bits

They knew each other so well, loved each other for a time, wrote sang & played a song by the feel of the song, worked out things among each other so well with high standards....what else can result except the high quality & timelessness of their songs with great melodies and harmonies plus have that simple international meaning of.....love. Without any question, they are the 20th century greatest legends of popular music.

Ringo was a genius at knowing intuitively what drum pattern would serve a song. Listen to his drumming on- Rain A Day in the Life The End Hello Goodbye Etc There are drummers who are technically more advanced but none as good for The Beatles. He was perfect.

Sinatra called it ‘the greatest love song of the past 50 years and the word love isnt even in it’.

Was John saying "shoot me"?

this doesn't include the volume-pedal'd guitar in the chorus

Sound like a 🚬🥃

All it's very good

LENNON NO FUE NECESARIO EN LA GRABACION, CON 10:04 RINGO, GEORGE Y PAUL FUE SUFICIENTE, no fue necesario el soberbio de Lennon

Absolutely no comparison to the present day "artists" to what these highly-disciplined individuals achieved at such a young age. When this musical masterpiece was released back on October 6, 1969, their ages were: Ringo Star (28); Paul McCartney (27); John Lennon (29) and George Harrison (26). Stop for a minute and let that sink in.

Wh' d they hv to leave us with a masterpiece?

Cum together

A piece of heaven itself

very helpful, thank you

Ringo was, is and will always be my favorite drummer.

That chunky rhythm guitar at approximately 1:22 is so stimulating. Each little section of it is different from the other. This is a remarkable sense of timing

I hear some very faint vocals.

Wow! Once, a long time ago, i owned a c.d. copy of the beatles unsurpassed masters vol 5. It blew me away.

Where were these outtakes found? Or was the medley run through a thompson vocal eliminator?

Wow!!!!!!!!!!

Espetacular

Gorgeous! I think Paul's bass line was superb! George's vocals are incredible! The whole song is pure perfection, imho.
