Day Tripper [Beatles Reaction] We Can Work It Out, Paperback Writer, Rain (Dev's first time hearing)

[@IvorPresents]

All of them fantastic.

[@1967PONTIACGTO]

The Beatles were in such a deep groove when songs like these were pouring out of them like water from a fountain... and there was so much more to come!.... Rain was my favourite song when I was 11 years old... pretty much the start of psychedelic music... blew my 11 year old mind!

[@sourisvoleur4854]

The triplets on "We can work it out" (on "fighting my friend" and "ask you once again") were George's contribution. They really were a team.

[@AlisonJones-v1p]

What a great band.

[@braemtes23]

Paperback Writer has always been a favorite and it was a number one hit song.

[@oneisnone7350]

They had 13 albums in just 7 years. Incredible.

[@alonenjersey]

Indeed. Let's see today's so-called "artists" equal that feat.

[@michaelwhelan2376]

Been a Beatles fan for 50 years plus---I had never heard of Rain before Peter Asher on the Beatles channel talked about and it has become my favourite song from the Beatles. Its just amazing. The way Paul and Ringo play together its so cool!! Get reaction. Cheers!

[@jthaw]

Genius! There is a nice video of them miming We Can Work It Out.

[@KISSrocks123]

You had the note in there about the drums on Rain being slowed down. In fact, the entire song was slowed down from the original track recorded. Just one of the MANY innovative things the Beatles pioneered in the studio. When they stopped touring, they were able to dedicate more time to crafting the songs, using studio tricks. Most of the tricks that are commonplace now were the brainchild of the Beatles, George Martin, Geoff Emerick, and others.

[@robbielux8353]

Rain in the best out of these 4 imo. Best music act of all time!

[@michaelwebster8389]

Love the unusual harmonies.

[@johncrowe1427]

I love Rain.

[@alonenjersey]

What's not to love?

[@SteveJenney]

Oasis built their whole career on 65-66 Beatles.

[@mr.macbeevee498]

Many people missed, myself included, the 'fair-ah-jac-ah' in the backing vocals for a long time. Rain is one of their most under-rated songs. Great lyrics, awsome guitar and Ringo's drumming is off the charts! And backwards vocal at the end.

[@braemtes23]

"Frere Jacques".

[@mr.macbeevee498]

@@braemtes23I spelled it phoneticly since Im not good spelling french. But you knew what I meant.

[@artromano2419]

Love the research that you put into these reactions..

[@alexshkoditch4593]

Paperback Writer/Rain was the single that came out from the "Revolver" album sessions. You were right about 2 things concerning Rain. The entire instrumental backing track was slowed down when they put the vocals on. On the Revolver sessions box set they include the backing track at the original recorded speed, and it is much faster. It has some very intense drumming from Ringo. Also, at the end of Rain, the vocals are backwards. That's why the others are smirking as John lip sings to that part.

[@labajadaman]

The fast version of Rain on the Super Deluxe Edition is TOO fast. Giles Martin got it wrong. Yes, it was recorded fast but not at the frantic pace found on the SDE

[@alexshkoditch4593]

@@labajadaman I have no data to confirm or dispute that. However, in support of your contention, it is nearly impossible to sing all the lyrics to Rain at the pace the backing track is given on the Revolver deluxe set. I would imagine the lyrics were already written when they recorded the backing track.

[@arturnienartowicz7213]

Throw into this group Don't let me down, I want you (she's so heavy), It's only love, I'll be back, Things we said today, and Come together and you've covered all my 10 favorite Beatles songs

[@russellburress6240]

There is a famous Beatles tribute band that does costume changes with wigs and other makeup to go from the early Beatles to the time they eventually broke up and they've been touring for decades the band's name is rain

[@nigeltown6999]

The Harmonium, played by George Martin in We Can Work it Out, added so much.

[@harlow743]

It was played by John Lennon

[@nigeltown6999]

@harlow743 yes, my bad.

[@alonenjersey]

This was most likely the world got to see John playing his Rickenbacker guitar. The following yeah, he switched to a Epiphone. Oh yeah, the first video clip is from the BBC special: "The Music of Lennon & McCartney" shown in December '65.

[@garyfletcher844]

One of the first psychadelic songs ever

[@johntrickey7182]

Rain a " B side" 😂😂😂, only The Beatles ❤

[@CraigPMiller]

We can work it out was the final song in the movie HELP (British release - the USA replaced it with a reprise of 'Help!')

[@Zentrix-24]

I remember "Rain" very well.....I was 16 yrs old......I really liked rain mainly because of the middle verse. Thought it was pretty unique grouping/ lengthy harmony at the time. Course I bought every album/single they released.

[@theG-man-p2h]

You are right about The Beatles' singles Mike. Almost none of the songs that were released as singles ever made it onto their album releases. Capital Records, their American label would sometimes include singles onto the albums for the American market. Penny Lane and Strawberry Fields Forever are two singles that were also included on the album as well! Awesome reaction, as always! 😊😊

[@innertube47]

In the early days, in the UK, it was thought wrong to put singles on the albums - as in having to buy it twice. Maybe this philosophy didn’t survive the Atlantic crossing..

[@marascusbomm]

Of course Penny Lane & Strawberry Fields, along with their other 1967 singles, were only included on the American Capitol records release of Magical Mystery Tour but not the original British Parlophone double EP version. Even though the Capitol version is now THE standard if the Beatles had had their way once again there would have been no doubling up of singles on albums for 1967 (the one exception being that I Am The Walrus appeared on both an album and B-side of a single). Fun fact: If we count the Magical Mystery Tour as an album not an EP, then 31 out of the 48 singles/EP tracks released by The Beatles were intended to be unique stand alone songs not available on albums (not including those compiled later in greatest hits style packages) - that's about two thirds.

[@innertube47]

@@marascusbomm Satisfaction and other Stone’s singles appeared on US album versions but not UK, like The Beatles. Was it a generally British thing? I’ll have a look at other acts..

[@marascusbomm]

@@innertube47 Yes, it was 2 different philosophies back in the 60s. In England, based on what I have read, it was about giving the fans value for money and it was thought improper to make record buyers pay for a song on an album that they had already purchased as a single. It was recognised that a lot of buyers were teens and didn't have that much money. But in the US the philosophy was that it was madness to leave the singles off the albums, as the singles were usually the best & most popular songs that would help sell the album. One person's cynical cash grab is another person's smart business. Which side you are on depends on if you are looking at things from the buyer's or the seller's perspective. I have to say the British philosophy is admirable but only really works at the top tier and you need a band that has a proven track record of being able to knock out hits under pressure (As good as the Stones, The Kinks & The Who were they released non-album singles rarely). Most bands on both sides of the Atlantic had a lot of filler on their albums and to have to write hit singles on top of their album output would have been a step too far - But The Beatles were just in a different league. That's why they could knock off an amazing album like Rubber Soul for the Christmas market in just under a month - AND knock out a double A-side single such as 'We Can Work It Out'/'Day Tripper' from the same sessions which they didn't even have to include on the album thanks to the embarrassment of riches they had in the songwriting department. We won't see the like again

[@alonenjersey]

Hi there guys. This Beatles fan of more than 50 years says: "good work on this reaction video"😀

[@alonenjersey]

Good luck & God bless.

[@jnagarya519]

They were tired of touring, so decided to send videos instead of traveling. They sent several videos that were played on "Ed Sullivan Show".

[@CoolCoyote]

yeah ringos drumming is interesting hmm / brilliant songs most of their catalogue . I have heard the rain before reminds me of a peter gabriel song, the loooonnng and short steps

[@mokrodog]

When you guys listen to revolver make sure there the 2022 mixes

[@alonenjersey]

Revolver? My #1 Beatles LP. the British version, of course.

[@smartenuphumans]

The "video's" were Promotional Clips - they would send them on tour instead of themselves, because they couldn't keep up to demand and be in all places at once. This idea - turned into " music videos".

[@irvinakohleraia473]

When they stopped touring they made what we call videos to appear on the Ed Sullivan show instead of being live. The others are from Ed Sullivan.

[@leighloutreedore8926]

Why listen to remixes??? The ORIGINAL ALBUMS are sooo good!!!

[@markhaus2830]

I agree. Originals are the best!

[@garylee3685]

Not really remixed, just better sound. There are no production changes.

[@DavidDill-k6s]

The remixes are better and you are ignorant because they are different

[@mariomf1644]

The drums and bass from Rain are simply insane. Please react to Revolver now

[@Marlenefanclubsimone]

They would be my mom, but I'm oooooold!

[@stevesnow315]

I actually heard both songs before "Rubber Soul" maybe because I had to save up to buy albums. (Hell, they cost almost $5.) 🤘😎❤

[@garyfletcher844]

Rain wasn't as big because they basically put an A -side song on the B-side

[@joyceedwards2708]

Stevie Wonders does a great cover of We can work it out.

[@yakg7976]

react to what does it mean to you by carpetman

[@jnagarya519]

The "Day Tripper' video is lip-synced -- from some TV show. They didn't make that video.

[@garyfletcher844]

Not 3/4. its 3/6 time. 3/4 would be quarter notes.3/6 is 8th notes.

[@xylolife7613]

3/6 is absolutely not 8th notes. 3/8 is 3 8th notes per bar. Even then, it probably is 3/4.

[@michaellast1224]

Rain is arguably the greatest Beatles song. Probably not but could be

[@AndrewLoukidis-jr2bp]

So what's the purpose of this?

[@jeffreyjacobs390]

Sadly LIP SYNCING the words ..... no cords on electric guitars, no Microphones and yet the sound is RECORDING EXACT !
