And your source for this audio is from where?

so gay

[@raptormx9502]

I’ve been trying to replicate George’s technique on this song for years now . This song taught me a valuable lesson really helped me graduate from amateur to intermediate. Along with johns powerful rhythm keeping it solid throughout the whole gig is wild .what talented lads they were / still are ! Beatles on top forever!

[@root1646]

doesn't everyone that can see how billy made the rooftop concert even more awesome. Rest in peace, Brother.

[@luisvitarello29]

George’s guitar is from another world.

[@alexyamach3635]

Great fills throughout.

[@valtergarlet2016]

It's fantastic!!!

[@kleber2001]

nope, his abilities are

[@toddsmith50]

outrageous

[@cisium1184]

I love it. It's dirty and crunchy.

[@user-ui4mn7mt1n]

John's guitar adds depth to the sound.

[@sporkfindus4777]

Actually the bleed gives an idea of what it's like to play live where you're focusing mainly on what you're playing while keeping an ear on what others are doing, and you've got your amp on monitor close by anyway. The drums and bass are so tight on this, it's incredible. Paul and Ringo don't get enough credit for that. I think that John and George's guitars sound better together and in the mix than isolated, but you can hear George's embellishments better. His pull-off licks in the second verse are glorious. I've listened to recordings of my band practising and I'm horrified by my guitar sounding off beat, but I hear the same with George's playing here, so that's OK. Billy's playing is gorgeous as always. I'm so glad he played on these sessions. His sound was perfect for The Beatles and gave them another dimension just when they needed it. In a parallel universe, The Beatles would've continued with Billy as a member.

[@lesleyhale8910]

How much life does Billy give to this great song...and the album as a whole.

[@Drenwickification]

Yeah, it’s a damn shame they didn’t stay together and play with Billy on tour in the 70s! He sounded so good with them immediately

[@edmondlau511]

His presence certainly lightened the mood when things didn’t seem to be going well. You could see the Beatles were visibly happy to see him. In terms of music, it added a depth they couldn’t achieve with 4 instruments.

[@M5guitar1]

George's raw solo is outstanding. Everyone was on it but I know for playing gigs myself, it was white knuckle ride from the start. Just magical and my favorite on the whole album.

[@trailratso]

hahah! George! I love this song but had never heard the entirety of the little fills until now! The Telecaster is the swiss-army knife of guitars, man! One second George's playing jazzy-sounding low-treble rhythm, the next he's soloing and that Tele's cutting through the mix like an axe (no pun intended!). AWESOME.

[@smorgasbordtv4092]

The drum and bass sound so good

[@michaelrodgers6732]

This song and performance IS the Beatles as they were. Great song. First song they wrote together. Dual vocals. Live. Smiles all around. Great solo. Like they were all back in the Cavern in 1962, if only for a few minutes. I don't think any other video shows how much fun they could have with each other. Might be their greatest live performance with this song. "Come on baby, don't be cold as ice..."

[@wboyle9721]

One thing about George's playing is his perfect timiming and fills

[@RichardCook-on3gf]

The Beatles knew how to play together and Billy Preston was the perfect complement. Not only here but also Abbey Road and some of the solo albums by John, George and Ringo.

[@comic4relief]

JL and PM singing together sounds marvelous, as usual. Deceptively intricate. John getting those blue notes. That word in the lyrics might be 'rotation' or 'location'. John makes a portmanteau and sings "rocation", and chuckles.

[@karaamundson3964]

From Day 1, George's solos have been genius. Nobody (except maybe Ringo on vocals) was going to Part The Red Sea Of Egos in that crew, so he simply created electric licks and fit them in where they'd blow the minds of all who heard. It was quite a new way of doing rock 'n' roll, or any music really...a wall of sound, no bridges exactly, just that classic "middle eight" with more lyrics and the continuing guitar solos like astonishing little flowers growing in between the cracks in the bricks & pavers. And, of course, George simply grew in musical stature from a prodigy who could play and sing (harmonizing in timbre identically with his older bandmates, and taking tunes like "Roll Over Beethoven" and "Do You Want To Know A Secret" as well as many more with no public awareness. The guy was a log-jam genius...just ferociously humble 'til he broke

[@baselinesweb]

While I love the Beatles, you cannot honestly claim that George's solos were genius from day one. His early work live was very poor and pedantic.

[@RexfromIslaNublar]

Paul’s Bass playing was amazing in this, especially when he took unexpected turns within his own bass lines. Especially at 0:58

[@jaredsquires2260]

I absolutely love the rhythm guitar on this song, I didn't know how many different strumming patterns were in it until this

[@HashimotoTheBand]

Wow ! I had never heard the little lead chord phrase George does from 3:10 to 3:13 ! What an education to hear Billy Preston's and George's playing so clearly. I've know this performance/recording since I was a kid - but now to hear this ! Preston's and Harrison's parts - fantastic subtle fills throughout - that support - never in the way. So brilliant !

[@DavidTurchickVEGAN]

Cool! I never noticed 9:23 before. Billy Preston's embellishments were key for a lot of this album's songs. And Paul's vocal technique at 13:17 is just something else.

[@Meneervdberg]

He sounds like a horse

[@cliffdwelling3807]

John's part is all grindy and dirty. He's just plowing through it. He was a madman.

[@nestorgimenez1468]

George kill it !!! Perfect time, perfect tone.

[@Marble8008]

I've been listening to this song for years and the guitar solo never get old, love it!

[@johnsain]

Lennon's guitar sounds dreadful....

[@capitolemiproducer]

Billy Preston's jamming sounds a lot like Ray Charles What I Say

[@phillipfritz7014]

Like how you put the bass & drums on the same track really shows how the two tie in together...nice job

[@anthonyglennmollicasr.425]

Solid rhythm section!

[@sergiocaldeira4892]

Amazing... Rhytm Guitar by Lennon... Wouuuuu

[@markgerrard383]

No-one harmonises like John & Paul.. They were born to do it.. But that Lennon lead vocal is summat else.. In the groove or what?

[@victorarena23]

harrison's guitar is so busy! you hear everything he's playing on the actual record

[@maanso050]

La coordinación entre Paul y Ringo es asombrosa!!

[@strothermartin5368]

I always heard that if the police didn't stop the show, George was going to sing Old Brown Shoe.

[@barbatkinson7347]

No, they didn’t have enough time to rehearse that one enough.

[@strothermartin5368]

@@barbatkinson7347 Do you know what other songs they were going to do if the cops didn't stop the show?

[@Gabe7Gal]

​@@strothermartin5368 There weren't any other songs, their set only ever consisted of 909, Get Back, I've Got A Feeling, Don't Let Me Down, and Dig A Pony. The thing is that their plan was to play the songs multiple times in order to have different takes to choose for the album.

[@tedpeterson1156]

This is really cool to listen to, it’s practically the only right proper tune they did that day.

[@richardbeaton7324]

You could set your watch to Ringo's timing , He was the first ever drum machine.

[@alexyamach3635]

Love Paul's bass on this.

[@andrewmatias8435]

Billy*, that's not paul

[@Meneervdberg]

​@@andrewmatias8435Go away

Billy was the hero of the day.

[@DanFarrellmusic]

Thanks for this @alexandrabee. Brilliant! Love this track. What brilliant playing from the boys. Stunning!

[@DSKim-ej5uf]

Whether it's a coincidence or a relationship based on an unknown mysterious algorithm, your video appears on my KZbin window, and I'm watching your video like a dream. In particular, the moment I first saw your video, it made my heart flutter and made me happy. As I watch your wonderful videos, I keep falling in love with them. I am so grateful to you that I am enjoying your valuable video on such a fine day with clouds floating in the blue sky. When I opened the KZbin window today, my heart was fluttering. Among the many videos listed, your video caught my eye. I really like the feeling of your video. In particular, it is more emotional because the sense of space is melted in the colored atmosphere. It makes my heart flutter because I have a feeling that your video, which I feel was made with unsparing sincerity, will soon receive a lot of love. Your video is the best video. It seems that even my heart is touched so much that there is no flaw anywhere. It seems that there is a KZbinr who wants to become a fan after a long time. There are emotions that cannot be expressed in words in this short video. You have the ability to make your videos instantly stunning and attractive. Thank you to the algorithm that made it possible to watch good videos, I hope that you will succeed as you have worked hard for your dreams. I was hesitating whether to open the KZbin window, but if I hadn't seen your video in Hamat, I would have almost never felt another great joy.

[@laurenceschwartz8606]

Always thought the bass,-line in One After 909 pure Paul wonderful.

[@Habs8691]

Best musician on that track was Billy Preston. Thank God he showed up for those sessions.

[@bjornlangoren3002]

Plus his smiling presence got them out of the doldrums.

[@Meneervdberg]

All of them

[@CurtisD01]

love this fucking song but listening to this then listening to the song is amazing just beginning able to see the layers more makes it so much better

[@aaronreeves8376]

Fantastic

[@DoctorLawrencescoggings]

Love it 😊😊

[@jaelge]

Ringo, as solid as a metronome. 🥁 🪘

[@dynaboyjl.4220]

Cool that you can hear mistakes in this kind of live environment. Paul riffs on the fly a couple times and messes up a note or two.

[@doctorlawrence4676]

This is a beautiful intro

[@halweiss8671]

I’d, seriously, like to know what is the one after 909. Is it a train number? A station number? A time? What? For over 50 years, I’ve enjoyed and sung along with the song, and not understood what it was referring to.

[@2JorgeBeat]

Fantastic Billy Preston and George Harrison.....

[@waxdashgd597]

Nice

[@maximillianramirez1189]

Billy is so gospel 😊

[@michaelrodgers6732]

Just wish the Peter Jackson video didn't seem to show such an uncomfortable obsession with George.

[@AndrewLowe-d4j]

Awww George and billy stop it 😋

[@matheustakahara887]

this bass-

[@Henriqueleal0609]

That out of tune harmony on thr start of the lead guitar is beautiful, ong

[@Aderin.]

I don't even hear the bass

[@johnsain]

Billy wins

[@johnsain]

Let's get the likes to 910 !!! 👍

[@franko1544]

how did you get the isolated tracks? what program did you use?

[@alexandrabee]

I extracted the channels from the 5.1 mix and used AI to isolate the individual instruments

[@seangaskin7608]

@alexandrabee thanx so much for doing such a great job. This is a-ma-zing to hear each isolated track of this classic song!

[@marcoantonioorozco1137]

fine

[@jiyujizai]

💙🙄

[@artiewithers6980]

This is really good, as usual, but John’s guitar is a bit out of tune.

[@tedpeterson1156]

He needs a haircut too! Fookin’ Hippies

[@crazyantny9161]

George played this as if he was his idol, carl perkins.. Heck of timing. Johns guitar really sucks

[@EditPaff]

Paul’s bass seems out of tune to me

[@Lukassp]

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@Lukassp]

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

[@Meneervdberg]

It's not

[@aake8497]

Guitar playing is really bad. And how guitar tone also can be so bad?

[@victorarena23]

you're f'n high. this is awesome playing

[@gustavoorio]

All togheter make the Magic happens.

[@aennekin83]

Think the way the tracks are being isolated is doing something to the attack and affecting tone. Notice it a lot in the vocals.

[@leearmit2770]

Yeah because you could do so much better 😂. Clean your ears this is sublime. There’s always at least one Trolling Stones fan😉
