Fun fact! The shows at the Budokan in Japan were a big reason as to why they stopped wanting to perform live. The crowd in Japan were much more respectful that most, which led to them being quiet. That led to the boys actually being able to hear themselves, which itself led to them realizing how awfully they were playing. There's even a clip from one of the shows where they play If I Needed Someone, where George gets so mad at how they sound that he sings "If I fuckin' needed someone".

as a music theory student, seeing that he was literally the first person to bring Indian-influenced music into the pop and rock genre is insane. It probably would have been integrated eventually, but as early as it was and how beautifully he meshes Indian and Western music theory together (probably without realizing it) is so monumental and cool, that it just blows my mind every time I think about it.

I love the ending of she’s so heavy and how it transitions into here comes the sun. One of the greatest moments in their catalogue as far as I’m concerned. It’s genius how oppressive the end of side one feels then the literal breath of sunshine side two starts with. It helps when you had it on physics media and needed to manually fill the record or the tape to start side two.

[@ElectricLotusBand]

This comment .

[@simonsoylu1178]

I agree. I think I want you is a great song and I never get tired of the riff that goes on and on and on. And it gets so loud and it makes you tired in a way because the track sounds so heavy.... And then stopping only to go into one of the most calming songs of all time is just such a great relief from a great heavy song to a great light song. In my opinion those 2 songs belong together

[@samp4184]

In Abbey Road's defense, it was made during a time when the main way to listen to music was on vinyl. So when I Want You (She's So Heavy) had that abrupt ending, the band stated that the original intent was for you to be left in silence for a bit, before playing the second side. I honestly think of it as a brief pause between two short albums playing back to back, but that's just me

[@id4ug]

This was exactly what I was about to comment. Same with with an album like Led Zeppelin IV where if you're streaming it, Stairway to Heaven ends then the happy Misty Mountain Hop plays. It was made with the intent for you to take in what had just happened, then go to the turn table and flip the record.

i don't usually leave comments on KZbin videos, but here we go: the Beatles are probably the most important band in my life, and despite not listening to them as much as i did when i was younger, they changed my perception on music and what it could be, not to mention all the memories that have with them. i don't exactly remember the fisrt time i heard any of their songs, but it probably was with an old compilation album that my grandpa had, it wouldn't leave his radio player and we had a great time listening to it. with that compilation i was exposed to all those songs from the early days, as well as some later songs, and they all were stuck in my head, but i didn't think much of them. some years later in my early teenager days, i saw a 1h hour+ video by a very famous Brazilian creator (Felipe Castanhari), very much in the style of the DDD, however it dove more on their personal lives. that video simply blew my mind, and it was from that point on that i started looking at music much more as an art form, rather than a collection of noises, and i wanted to take part on that art form, so i took up drums and started a band. the switch had been turned on in my head never to be turned off again, and still today i keep looking for more and more music, with that same joy that i had, when i was first descovering their catalog. it might not be the most well written text, or the most interesting one, but your video made me remember some very special times in my life. thank you mike, and keep up the quality content

​@@fernandofilho7967 Great comment. It's cool how we all have our own super personal stories of how these 4 guys changed our lives. My love affair with the Beatles began, oddly enough, with Magical Mystery Tour. While Revolver is definitely my favorite Beatles album, a close second is Magical Mystery Tour. I love it. In fact, I think it's way better than Sgt. Pepper...which I've always found rather overhyped. A part of my love for MMT is that it just happened to be the album in my car CD player back in 2008 when I started smoking weed for the first time in my life. Needless to say, that album blew my mind. But even to this day, I still think it holds up. It's just a weird album...very hazy and trippy. Sgt Pepper is obviously psychedelic....but in a more colorful bright loud way. MMT is psychedelic in a more hazy eerie moody way, and I like that a lot. Ahhhh....I'm just thinking back to 12 years ago, when I was in college, driving around aimlessly at night after smoking a bowl(yes, i know, irresponsible), and listening to Blue Jay Way with the volume and bass nice and loud.....just feeling trippy and cool af. Those were better days.... It's kinda sad to realize you'll never be able to re-experience the first time the Beatles came into your life. For me it was MMT, and just happened to coincide with trying marijuana for the first time....and falling in love with both. Looking back, it was such a special singular feeling/experience....but I didn't really realize that at the time. I was just living my life. But yeah....the fact MMT coincidentally happened to soundtrack my first encounter with weed.....well, you could do worse.

Don’t get me wrong - There was a lot of trashy music that came out in the past also. It’s just that much of it has been forgotten by people who only engage in feelings of nostalgia. The main difference between now and then is that the really great music that is produced now often does not receive the same amount of promotion that it did back in the old days.

Except for Help! and Rubber Soul (that were remixed in 198x), the 2009 releases are the original stereo mix, as heard on the 60s. They started remixing the canon albums in 2017 (?) with Sgt. Peppers and so on. I don't agree with his take because he missed one way of listening to the Beatles: with actual speakers.

[@TheWonkyAngle]

@@braulioacosta6816 will not deny that all of said 2009 mixes are perfectly fine playing out of speakers and the way they originally did it makes sense given the technology they had available to them at the time, but imo that's kind of a moot point. I don't think your particular setup should impact the listening experience of a given mix in the first place, I think it'd be much more preferable for an album to sound good both on headphones and speakers than for it to only sound good on speakers, and I can't just give them a pass given how I've heard plenty of other albums from that era that still sound good in both settings by today's standards (The Moody Blues - Days of Future Passed for instance)

[@gclip9883]

@@braulioacosta6816 It is worth noting though that the Beatles themselves were only involved in the mono mix, the stereo mix was more of an afterthought. So if you want to be a purist, you have to listen to the mono mix. And Giles Martin even took the mono mix as a base for his new remixes, so you could argue that they are closer to the original vision of the Beatles.

It's not about liking their voices or whatsoever, someone could not like the Beatles but saying they're overrated is just wrong. It's not an opinion, it's just false. Not everything can be questionable. Music history at some point is not so different from history itself or science.

She's leaving Home is a favorite in my family because my Grandmother was a professional cello player. My mother tried to play her the song but she was dismissive of that ruckus rock music noise.

My favorite is Across the Universe. I first listened to it during my junior year of high school, but it really hit me during graduation. I saw my growth in this song when comparing it to the lyrics and compositions of earlier Beatles songs. The line "Nothing is gonna change my world" is particularly meaningful to me since it represents graduation, marking the end of childhood and the beginning of adulthood. It marks a big change that occurs in a normal day.

Ask any guitar player if they know what the flange effect is... They of course will say yes. Ask them when it was first used.. most will not know... It was first used on Tomorrow never knows on John Lennon's vocal... Then ask the guitar player where the name 'flange' came from... Most likely they will not know... The effect was originally called artificial double tracking or ADT... John Lennon asked Geoff emerick how he achieved the effect... Emerick proceeded to explain how he ran the tape over a flange wheel and used a verispeed to slow down a second recording of the same track to give it the impression of the two playing together being two different tracks... Lennon did not understand what he was saying because it was all just technical mumbo jumbo to him... So whenever Lennon wanted that affect he just asked emerick to 'flange' it. That's where the famous guitar effect gets its name.... John Lennon off the cuff remark

How come Sgt. Pepper is the last of your top four? Why Revolver over the White album and why is Abbey Road your favorite? I’d love to hear your opinions

[@jamescarlisle4023]

@@killme9534 okay I got a lot of thoughts on this, so this'll be a two-parter. Bear with me. 1. I think Sgt. Pepper is massively overrated. Look, it's a good album. A Day in the Life is one of the greatest songs they ever did. However, going through the track list, there's quite a few flawed songs: Getting Better: The jump from "I didn't like school and I used to get angry" to "I physically abused my wife, boy, what a jerk I was" is pretty excessive. It's also ignorant of how horrific the act of beating your wife is. I know attitudes were quite different in the 60s, but still. She's Leaving Home: Not a bad song, but it's a carbon copy of The Beach Boys' Pet Sounds. Yes, the Beach Boys were inspired by Rubber Soul, but they expanded on that influence. This just sounds like a Brian Wilson impression. Within You Without You: Sounds way more profound than it actually is. Reading into the lyrics, it's pretty contradictory. Harrison goes from saying "with our love we could save the world" to "you're really only very small" and "life flows on within you and without you". The laughing at the end only adds to that perception. I don't call music "pretentious" often, but this is it. Lovely Rita: It's not *bad*, per se. There's some catchy instrumentals on there. But it's just really fruity. Kind of obnoxious. "When are you free to take some tea with meeeeeeeeee?" And what is this weird hiccuping sound from Paul at the end? It's just not one of his best performances. Good Morning Good Morning: Simply put: Pure filler. It feels like a non-song.

[@jamescarlisle4023]

2: Additionally, I just don't think Sgt. Pepper is *that* game-changing. When I think of 1967, I think the most game-changing music of that year came from Hendrix and the Velvet Underground (I know the latter took time to gain the acclaim they have now, but still). I also think that the jump from Rubber Soul to Revolver is much, much bigger than the jump from Revolver to Sgt. Pepper. It's not ahead of its time, it's of it's time. Abbey Road, on the other hand, is ahead of its time. It's the band's best-produced album. It sounds more pristine and spotless than any other album I've heard from that era. The melodies, the harmonies, the instrumentation; it's just absolutely fucking gorgeous.

[@killme9534]

@@jamescarlisle4023 I was only asking because I feel somewhat the same way, though not as strongly against Sgt. Pepper. I do think the concept of it gets overrated when half the bands admitted to not having the concept in mind for most of the recording. That and I feel they would’ve made the same music regardless of said concept, even if it adds to the amazing album cover and some cool transitions. I enjoy the lyrics off of Getting Better and Within You Without You, but I agree in that they aren’t nearly as deep as they come off to be on the latter. I don’t know the word but Sgt. Pepper is probably one of their most schmaltzy? Fruity like you said records, so much so it kind of brings some songs down for me. I think a third of the tracklist certainly was ahead of its time, not a lot sounded like it’s best moments. But I do think those moments like Lucy and A Day overshadow a lot else that’s on the record. Hard agree with Abbey Road though! I really didn’t think it needed the remaster it got, it seemed pretty pointless just making an already crisp record sound louder than it needed to be. But everyone was really operating at their peak. Some of George’s best songs yet, killer performances by Paul, his bass work is phenomenal, Ringo shines more than ever, his second song is miles better than Don’t Pass Me By, John really owning his blues influence and just adding onto his already great psychedelic sound. What a legendary album.

From UK...Nice one Mic - I was a Beatles fan from aged 9 (1963) and saw them live that year...Almost all you said positive and negative was spot on...Your research was admirable for a whipper-snapper (check that one out)...Just stumbled on your site...I became a guitarist and enjoyed playing live gigs for over 40 years ...Cheers !

When I was in college one of my teachers told us about a friend of hers that had a terminal illness and that he was a massive Beatles fan. I don't remember exactly how it happened, I think someone turned on Hey Jude on a little music player in the room, and the whole class ended up singing along to it. My teacher recorded it and sent it to her friend and later told us that it brought a huge smile to his face. He died not too long after, and quite honestly I haven't listened to the song since. But it's a strange little Beatles adjacent story I've always got in the back of my head. Other than that the day we got Beatles rock band in the house was a very exciting day.

I'm not sure I could pick a favorite Beatles song, even their "misses" are darned good. If I could request a DDD I request Genesis: their long career and how they went from '70s prog rock pioneers to 80s pop powerhouses is an interesting journey. Gabriel era Genesis is almost a whole different band entirely, and Phil Collins is criminally underrated as a drummer.

[@killme9534]

Genesis are fucking amazing, great take!

[@Yakkymania]

I actually requested Genesis a while back then deleted my comment cause it wasn’t a very good comment. I certainly still stand with that opinion, and i plan on doing a big release order review once i listen to all of them, so if you wanna listen to a squeaky voiced middle schooler talk about Genesis than you can watch it if i make it. Self advertising aside, I totally agree with everything you said. The prog era was outstanding, and i gotta say Peter Gabriel is a genius, his solo stuff could also be worth a DDD. Anyways, yeah, the 80s stuff is great too, except i’m not as familiar with it as of now as i am with their 70s work. And yeah, i agree, Phil Collins should be known as a drummer for more than that fill from In The Air Tonight.

[@Aquatarkus96]

Genesis as an ensemble don't get talked about enough outside of the solo work of Phil Collins, and its baffling considering how unique and pioneering they were. What's strange is that I wouldn't say they're underrated, really they are pretty properly highly rated, especially amongst musicians. I think misunderstood would be a better word. IMHO, Tony Banks is a genius songwriter, Steve Hackett is a genius weaver of textures, and Peter Gabriel was a genius in his costumes and makeup. The dreamy cozy vibes the band would conjure in the early days is still unmatched by anyone else I've come across, their arrangements and mixes just clicked in a really appealing way. Also, they are responsible for moving lights and gated reverb so god knows music and live performances today would be completely different if not for them.

I'd love to see an updated version of your thoughts on Let It Be now that the doc is out. It really changed my mind on an album I thought sounded so flat and uninspired. It's a band trying desperately to find the spark that made them love being in a band together. The messiness of it now makes sense since every song is recorded live and it sounds so organic compared to their more studio wizardry style of albums past. Seeing them perform I've Got A Feeling, Don't Let Me Down, and One After 909 and learning that THOSE WERE THE VERSIONS THAT WERE ON THE ALBUM blew my mind out my ass. And seeing them slowly write Abbey Road songs while making this was so fucking cool too. It is WILD that Let It Be was supposed to be this grounded return to their roots and they instead made a studio masterpiece. Also the Naked version is far superior to the Spector mix and, if they didn't remaster it last year, would probably be the definitive version of Let It Be to me personally. But yeah I'd love to hear your thoughts on the album after Get Back released.

[@lisamarieligreci-newton7804]

I agree - Let It Be has always been, along with Please Please Me, my least favorite Beatles album. Some gems, for sure, but overall just kind of average to me. And while I maybe still don't love the album, it was so fascinating watching those songs just come into being and appreciating the various details.

[@jorjicostava6657]

For the longest time I thought that roughly release year equaled songwriting year; making the entirety of Abbey Road concieved BEFORE Let It Be. Learning that it was pretty much the opposite blew my mind to pieces. I thought in the beginning of get back that they were using Abbey Road tunes to warm up

[@wesley_wiskar]

I really love Let It Be, especially the naked version of the album. Despite it seeming to be a more basic album similarly to their earlier music you can see on songs like Don't Let Me Down, you can see how tight they were as a musical unit. Attempts at covering this song always seem to fall flat for me, because only after a decade of playing music together day in and day out would you get that good at reading each other and playing together. The whole album when stripped back feels like an attempt to 'get back' to why they loved making music together. Two Of Us being an example of this, describing the relationship between John and Paul vividly and beautifully with their luscious harmonies. I got a feeling, a raucous bluesy number with one of the last lyrical partnerships of Lennon/Mccartney; contrasting John's wit and sardonic cynicism and Paul's whimsy and exuberance , and the amazing work of Billy Preston on this song as well as every other song he features on. I Me Mine and For You Blue being great additions from George on this record, with the former being a brief, but punchy meditation on the discord in the band since prior to the White Album. It's not a perfect album, and it isn't as ambitious as Abbey Road or Sergeant Pepper, but when you remove all the Spector production, the album reveals itself for what it is; a gorgeous distillation of the Beatles 'getting back' to their roots. It's bluesy and rocky like their first albums, it has not one but two beautiful Paul-led piano ballads that just shine, and the additions from George as well as the sonic dreamscape that is Across the Universe round out a solid tracklist. It's slowly become my favourite album of The Beatles and one of the best and tightest 35 minutes of music you will ever listen to from any band. I am beyond excited for the documentary to see the process of it's creation.

[@Thakar98]

I used to have a playlist that combined my favorite Spector and Naked versions since both of them absolutely ruin some songs But since the new super deluxe came out I've pretty much switched entirely to the Glyn Johns mixes which sound exactly like what i thought naked should've been all along

[@AstroSully]

Across the Universe, Long and Winding road too. It's an amazing album tbh. The production was just shaky.

[@ThomasJohnBourne]

You have a similar joke/interjection/editing style to Scott the Woz but not quite as hyperactive and a lot more grounded. I love your shit, insightful stuff here. You got me back into Floyd! This video is great

[@anshbhagania]

The White Album Super Deluxe Edition is a true 21st Century gift, with such great deep cuts

[@lra1095]

I LOVE the jump from I Want You (She's So Heavy) to Here Comes The Sun. To me it always felt like the calm after the storm. The long stormy hypnotic noise clearing to a sunny quiet guitar, and that song's slow build up to the drop when the drums kick in.

[@efficiencygaming3494]

My first real experience with the Beatles was getting The Beatles: Rock Band as a Christmas gift in 2009. I'd known about their existence before and heard some of their songs with my parents on the radio, but that game made me a fan for life. My personal favorite is the White Album, imperfect as it may be. Can we just take the time to appreciate how much music is on that album? There's a song for everyone on there. You want a heavy proto-metal track? You want a killer birthday song? You want songs to sing when you're lonely, tired, serious, or not? You want nine minutes of sounds pasted together? You want Ringo to sing you a lullaby at the end of the record? The White Album has all that, and that's why it's my favorite Beatles album. I still think that "Happiness Is A Warm Gun" is one of the best Beatles songs, period. I can go on and on, but my reply doesn't have enough space. Thank you for the highly entertaining and informative video.

[@alisonjane7068]

hard agree. like, you could cut songs like "the continuing story of bungalow bill" or "piggies," but please don't. i can't imagine it never not being my favorite album.

[@natalyamartirosyan]

thank you thank you thank you!!! I love the white album so much and "happiness is a warm gun" is a masterpiece. and exactly is has a song for all moods and situations. LOVE IT! and the lullaby in the end is perfect.

[@DukeOfData]

Enjoyed this nostalgia. One slip: "When the band reconvened in the spring of 1996" That would have been quite a feat! Agree that Rubber Soul was ground breaking and took them to another level (though Help! already hinted at it).

[@Kellerwerks]

He said 1996 TWICE.. must have really believed it...

[@fireballninja01]

Growing up, I didn’t realize that popular consensus was “yeah the beatles are holistically and actually good” and figured that it was more “the beatles are known as the best band of all time because they were extremely popular and also the “first”, and abbey road, sergeant pepper, and less so rubber soul are good” I grew up latching onto one album by a band each, and having my entire love of that band be focused on that one album, having little personal knowledge of the artist as a whole. (which i’ve regretfully continued to this day, queue my praise of Concrete and Gold forgetting that all Foo Fighters albums sound the same). Revolver was that for The Beatles. (I had also been introduced to Sergeant Pepper, but 8 year old me’s response to that was “huh cool they’re in costumes and personas that’s really dorky and kinda embarrassing now time to listen to taxman and eleanor rigby”) Not realizing how expansive The Beatles’ discography actually was, only hearing Revolver mentioned in passing, it lead me to believe Revolver was some forgotten gem. It’s been really nice to learn that oh, Revolver is actually hailed as the second to fourth greatest Beatles album, even if by the time I realized that, it was so connected to my early childhood that I listen more to reminisce than to analyze an art piece. I think what you said in the conclusion, about The Beatles being the Citizen Kane of bands; having originated so much of modern production and songwriting techniques, they’re a great Lil’ Tykes First Band. With 55 years since Revolver, I known that is changing, but it seems less that any band has taken it’s place, and more that it’s a role that’s never been filled before or since. There’s no “biggest band of all time” or “biggest band right now” except statistically. BTS is, but will BTS become stylistic innovators, or will the fields of most popular band and most inventive band continue to diverge. Knowing that some day Paul McCartney & Mick Jagger will grow too old to perform has encapsulated my fear of the endless march of time for years now. I had never realized that Beatlemania came partially from the want for vibrance to return to life after the second world war. Knowing that, it’s easy for them to take on the feel of more joyful times long since past. Someday Paul, Ringo, and the Rolling Stones are gonna die, and that time will be truly relegated to history. Also, I know in my heart somewhere in his discography Ringo has his Temporary Secretary/Revolution 9, and some day I will find it.

[@killme9534]

For me, that album was Abbey Road until I found the time to revisit some of their discography. Learned to love and appreciate a lot of what they’ve done and recorded afterwards. It’s easy to hear music fifty years past and call it overrated, but I can only wish those same people will grow out of that way of thinking. They’re missing out for sure!
