Deconstructing The Beatles - You Can't Do That (Isolated Tracks)

One of the early Beatles era examples of Paul starting to take off melodically and rhythmically with his bass lines.

Lennon's vocals make this song

[@hamueramusic]

is it a coincidence that the beatles started smoking weed at this period AND his basslines got more melodic?

[@mattpadden5631]

Yes - because this song was recorded six months before the band got into cannabis. Take a close listen to Paul's bass part on the official version of Twist And Shout, recorded a full year before You Can't Do That - he was always a melodic bassist, with or without weed.

John's amazing roaring rhythm guitar that fully kick starts the song after George's twelve-string guitar intro never fails to get my blood rushing for this absolute groove of a tune. John rips an amazing roaring solo on this as well, not to mention his vocals. He was on fire

[@teeteebee]

The harmonies on 'greee-eeeen'. One of the greatest Beatles moments. This has to be one of the closest songs to their Hamburg days. Just an incredibly good band sending people wild. Absolutely brilliant track.

So sweet to hear the bass like this.

I am watching April 17 2024 and still enjoy them alot.

Love all of your deconstructions. They are very inspiring. The original mixes of all of the early Beatles are very weak. For the first time we get to hear the bass and drums and they are better than originally credited. Ringo is the first rock drummer and, to his credit, one of the best. Thanks a lot!

[@RossHamilton1961]

Amazing. What a great, great song.

[@watmun]

Drums and bongo!

[@danielbouju1688]

RINGO!!!

[@kevinmoore4237]

Good ear!

Correction, congas 😅

[@iwerning]

This is amazing. The quality of the isolation.

[@televinv8062]

Fantastic. Love hearing that solo on its own too. 🙏👍🙏👍

[@sylviojr]

Great song. Maybe one of these days you could upload Dizzy Miss Lizzy. Cheers.

[@rbstems]

Whole discography on its (slow) way :)

[@Tom-hk6ub]

I've been waiting for this one !

[@tinlinmusic]

Almost sounds like the bass line for 'Psycho Killer' by Talking Heads!

[@paulhopkins8148]

How about some love for that cowbell ?

[@BigSky1]

Thank you.

[@HOLLYWOODHICK]

Shame all the old live film never shows John's bitchin' lead solo; always cuts away...

[@Thomasfan244]

theres a few news films that show it.

[@HOLLYWOODHICK]

@@Thomasfan244 Let's see one

[@michaelorenstein9165]

@@HOLLYWOODHICK I have seen it numerous times. It's the 2nd half of Lennon's solo. Unfortunately I didn't save it. But it exists.

[@Jpw824]

He didn’t want to be on camera during his solos because he didn’t want people knowing it was him. He was very self conscious about his lead guitar skills.

[@KevyNova]

I just spent an hour searching for a live video of them that shows John playing the solo and couldn’t find one! They always show Paul and George or Ringo during John’s solo!

[@ronanfitzgerald7524]

beginning sounds a bit like psycho killer

[@elementrypenguin3116]

Rhythm and lead guitar segments reversed

[@kzeich]

G and J switch on this record, it's presented correctly

[@ericstewart9742]

You got rhythm guitar and lead guitar mixed up

[@rbstems]

I consider John's part as lead since he plays the solo.

[@gmv200700]

Agree. George is lead guitar and John is rhythm. The fact that solo is played on rhythm guitar does not change that.

[@deardre]

First!

Hello Bro 😃
