Another old guy - curious to see how a group of young musicians could present not only a very difficult composition, but to recreate the sound from an immensely complex recording process that tore open the imagination of millions of young people at that time. Bravo! Absolutely brilliant and professional. Adding the choir for vocal support to achieve the sonic quality of the "orchestra rise" was a touch of genius. To think that George Martin hired only 42 musicians to play the tracks, and then to use available space on a 4 track recording tape to insert the same performance so that it increased the tonality to where it sounded like 168 instruments was mind shaping for its time. That you were able to bring out the essence of the piece with a smaller group is very commendable. Keep working it. Growth never passes by returns to prior work to provide new perspectives. "A Day in the Life" is a musical arrangement full of secrets and slants that keeps revealing itself.

[@kdmdlo]

No disagreement about Strawberry Fields, and Tomorrow Never Knows. But Across the Universe and Come Together as experimental? Don't think so. In the top 5 list of Beatles tunes would also have to be Eleanor Rigby (McCartney). Written in E minor, Dorian ... it is complex both musically and lyrically.

[@hw343434]

KM definitely, I believe “Eleanor Rigby” to be Macca’s best song ever. He did receive help lyrically from the others including John and even Ringo, and George Martin did the fantastic String score as he did with “Yesterday” but it’s still my favorite Paul masterpiece. “Across the Universe” to me is the most amazing lyric any Beatle ever wrote. It’s also musically unique as far as the guitar chords/progression. Just a shame it didn’t get a proper production. I believe it to be perhaps the Beatles’ most underrated song because it was never produced with the attention other lesser songs had

[@joe6096]

Paul said it many times that he just had the "woke up, fell out of bed" part lying around doing nothing. Which means he'd probably written it long prior to them beginning work on Sgt. Peppers and it just never went anywhere as a song on it's own. It just happened to fit in perfectly with what John had just conceived for A Day In the Life. I guess what I'm trying to say is for all their brilliance as song writers, a lot of it was either magic, sheer coincidence, or luck. As in John going "how do we join these verses?"..... (Paul thinking a minute)...... "John, I've got this little bit I wrote a while ago about just getting up and getting out of bed, maybe we can fit it in here somewhere"....... and out comes a brilliant masterpiece.

Joe I hear you but it’s definitely more magic than sheer luck because it happened SO MANY TIMES for them as songwriters!! The Beatles were, among other things, the best band ever at taking advantage of accidents!!! Like John inventing FEEDBACK on Electric guitar cause he stood to close to an Amp and decided he loved the sound so much he wanted to use it for the intro of “I Feel Fine”. Same with the backward vocals at the end of “Rain”, he was stoned and put the tape on backwards and loved the sound that came out 😆. I guess they were searching for these things so much that somehow they found them consistently. They were adventurous. And that’s the only way “A Day in the Life” can emerge, it also help a LOT to have a seasoned arranger/producer like George Martin to join the two bits together so seamlessly.

@@hw343434 Yep, a lot of what they did was by accident or sudden little mishaps and mistakes in the studio that most people would have just ignored and went on about their day and never given a second thought to.

What a fantastic rendition of A Day In The Life by The Beatles...!!!

One of my favorite songs from The Beatles. It's so beautiful and melancholic

Sam's conducting alone had me feeling totally a part of this. I've watched it several times. I hope you go on to do more work like this.

The arrangements in Beatles songs were absolutely incredible, Lennon & McCartney were quite simply genius and put together with Harrison & Ringo they are a one in a several generation band! Btw, I was born & bred in Liverpool. I still live not far from where they lived. My Mum's 1st cousin who we are very close with to this day actually knew them as he was a club manager in Liverpool. He's got a few stories about them...one of them includes, John Lennon headbutting some dude who was jealous/paranoid that John was looking at his girlfriend "too much" and so he went after John which ended in him being headbutted! lol

What I find when people understand The Beatles, Tangerine Dream, Chick Corea or even Frank Zappa in this fashion. Is that they recognize the genius in their works. In great detail that few can appreciate. Bravo.

Excellent rendition! She has a future with that sweet voice.

[@pianoman19541]

. Such beautiful voice entered so far above the grade. . Instruments fill the room as she softly blankets so sweetly over them all. Beautiful feeling her heart's soft and sweet beat. Beautiful performance.

[@philipmcglasson533]

Wow. Those young folks were having fun also. The drummer had the little Ringo head bob as well. Nothing about this that wasn’t on point. Thank you for introducing these people to such an iconic song.

[@crabbysid8434]

I am 72. Very Cool. Great rendition of possibly the best Beatles song. Released in 1967. I don't believe people will be listening to today's music 56 years from now.

I dont know if anyone realizes the paul part was meant to sound like he just woke up. ( like the lyrics wow)

@@jadenplays6095 listen you do it like Paul or you don't do it. That's something you don't improvise on. Especially on that part. My point is the the timing of the orchestra was right there. His wasn't. Either do it right, or don't do it.

It's especially wonderful that everyone, from the director, of course, the choir and to the drummer, really enjoy it
