Thanks for making these documentaries about the Beatles albums! What an incredible journey they took us all on! I always wanted to see the details from each album they made because of how they progressed and kept getting better and expanding their sound! Incredible growth for only 7 years of their existence as a group! No other group did this. They went from Love Me Do to A Day in the Life! That’s mind blowing Artistic Growth never achieved before by anyone! Absolutely stunning! Which is why they are the GOAT to this day! They were better than anyone else 50 years ago and they are better than anyone else now! They beat everyone! That’s why I call them the Beat Alls! 😅😂 Thanks, Man! You Rock! 😊

I call TNK the greatest song of the 60s. This group went from lyrics like "I want to hold your hand", to "Turn off your mind, relax and float downstream", in a little over 2 years. Unbelievable. Ummm - of course, watching this excellent documentary, we learn that that line is actually an exact quote from Timothy Leary!... Well - it's still amazing that Lennon wrote that into that amazing song. So cool.

That concert they gave on the roof doing the song Get back & seeing all the crowd down on the street was great! That kind of fame is really overwhelming & frightening to me!

[@dleetr]

@@zanzone7133 Yes, explosion of creativity in music, driven in great part by technological innovation, opening up new possibilities for music creation and rapid product delivery to the market, television, recording equipment, new instruments, cheap electronics etc. Our people responded to the possibilities and did what we do best. I think sadly, that every era has it's grifters and it's naive marks and the arrested development innate in being a pop star doesn't help you not to get fleeced. We've seen that with not just hangers on, but managers, accountants, lawyers, labels and so on. An endless conga line of undeserving twats, parasiting off of the innocent creative types. Thankfully with the internet, you can cut out a lot of that once necessary delivery mechanism and artists can get more of a cut, but simultaneously we saw the rise of social media, computer games and streaming sites.

I did a thesis paper on the Beatles in college and researched their recording techniques and shenanigans when I was trying to record my own songs. I grew up listening to Abbey Road after my parents bought the album in a mild hippy phase of their life. All day long, the songs were in my head. Magical Mystery tour was my obsession in my teens. Sergeant Peppers 20th anniversary release was my next fascination in my early 20s. I experimented with the same drugs they took and I am still stunned by what they captured on A Day in the Life.

[@comfortat]

Well done, sir. This is my favorite Beatles retrospective that is done by an independent.

[@kjeldpedersen666]

In my eyes “Revolver” is and remains the best Beatles album. It’s the most innovative album, the biggest jump forward. You might be able to find even stronger tracks here & there on other albums and singles. You might even be able to find more coherent albums. But when it comes to innovation and experimentation nothing tops “Revolver”. There might be some reasons behind this (-in my eyes) fact. The drugs and the inspiration from the whole counter culture is one thing. Another reason is the fact that The Beatles had decided to stop touring. Would it even be possible to go on as the no. 1 band in the world without disposing their music live - something no one had ever tried before. At least no one in their position and with their prestige... For The Beatles it was make it or loose it at this point. And making it meant boldness when it came to risking it all throwing themselves into a whole new and insecure direction. Interesting to hear in what order the songs were really made. Great video😊👍

[@mpemberton7760]

Good points! One small correction, however: The Beatles went on their final tour right after Revolver was released in Aug of '66. They did 18 concerts in 13 days, the last show being at Candlestick Park. And that's when they said "NO MORE!"

[@kjeldpedersen666]

@@mpemberton7760 i know😊 The final decision had not been taken yet before the recordings. But after the Manilla incident the “bigger than Jesus” incident (or was that on the 66 tour?) and other things The Beatles were getting sick of touring. Especially George… Surely they felt that their future was making misic in the studio. Were they also inspired by seeing what The Beach Boys acomplised by letting Brian Wilson stay at home conposing… Hmm…🤔

[@mpemberton7760]

@@kjeldpedersen666 John's "more popular than Jesus" remark was from an interview he'd done in March that year. It didn't cause a ripple in the UK, but once the good Christians of the southern US got wind of it a few months later, they were caught up in anti-Beatles mania. This was right before their American tour, and Brian Epstein thought about cancelling it out of concern for their safety. After that, they were ready to pack it in...not just touring, but they were done being The Beatles. Then Paul came up with this crazy concept about an alter ego band...

There’s no mention here of Paul walking out during the recording of she said she said. Apparently Paul was mad that George’s guitar was mimicking John‘s vocal. Also, George Martin had asked George Harrison to help John finish the song, apparently Paul couldn’t be bothered. So Paul was already in a bad mood. He got upset and he left mid session. John just said, let him go we’ll finish it ourselves. It’s the only Beatle song Paul didn’t play on.

[@PaulFormentos]

On Revolver Box set outtake Paul's voice can be heard

[@monovision566]

I think Paul left after the basic track. He can be heard just before the take they used, and the bass sounds like him rather than George. Where you can tell Paul isn’t there is the vocals, especially in George being the one to repeat John (flatly) at the end, “I know what it’s like to be deeeaaaaaad.” Paul is definitely not SINGING on the song. The high part sounds nothing like him throughout. He had to have left before vocals were done.

Emerick and the engineers at Abbey Road were brilliant and their creations live on.

[@zanzone7133]

Emerick's auto-biography is an excellent book.

I always found it interesting the classical musicians became big babies whenever something wasnt "the way it has always been done" during their sessions with The Beatles. Maybe thats why classical music isnt as popular nowadays. They dont think out of the box like rock music does.

Having been a chart producer and arranger for four decades, I can tell you truthfully that many orchestral players are like stenographers - they read the notes but have zero creativity!

ASK AND YOU SHALL RECEIVE! THANK YOU FOR MAKING THIS :)

[@Kidraver555]

That was so well done, thanks.

Those amps were not used in the US ‘66 tour. They used the «Vox Super Beatle». Also, Paul switched from Hofner to Rick on the Rubber Soul recordings

[@bobbystereo936]

I think he means those amps kicked off the 66 tour in both Europe & the far East.

One distinct sound on Tomorrow Never Knows was, I believe made using a "Swazzle" - a reed held on the tongue which is often used as the voice for Punch in "Punch and Judy" shows.

Funny how John and George looked down on Paul for being the last to try the wonder drug LSD and yet he came up with all those freaky sounds they use in Tomorrow Never Knows and at this point in the Beatles career McCartney was listening to really advanced stuff like John Cage and others.

Paul was taking drugs too but weed and cocaine were his choices. Pepper is the result of Paul's prodigious imagination, fuelled by cannabis and coke, and a sumptuous side order of Lennon acid and Harrison mystic!

[@tunesdonebyone3428]

@davecostello560 Agreed but Paul did take acid just not as much as George and especially John. I love George's comment in some interview about how you really only need to take LSD once and then later saying he's taken it lots of times!

[@davecostello560]

Me too, it's a classic!! 😂​@@tunesdonebyone3428

Yes ,Harrison used to say 'we had our dentist experience John and me well before Paul so we had that early bond ',A dentist introduced it after their dinner with their coffee, nice dessert.
