Yes, he's great at that, as is Crystal Shannon, another very perceptive reactor out there. Her review of how gobsmacked she was by Abbey Road, for ex., should have any Beatles fan going "OMG, why didn't **I** think of that?" LOL. Ditto for some of her reactions to The Who and Zeppelin! And, also like our friend Dariius, a fair amount of time can pass between her dropping videos, which can be frustrating, yes (tho it IS, of course, THEIR time), but makes the arrival all the sweeter, like Revolver here!

[@OroborusFMA]

They began as the world's biggest touring band for teenage girls, got bored with that, stopped touring, and became an experimental psychedelic band, then got board with that and became a mature rock band, and finally got bored with that and on their last album laid down a sonic template for the 1970s and broke up.

[@octurn]

They began by playing 12hrs a night for the crims, whores & existentialists of Hamburg's red light district.

[@GBURGE55]

Well said. That about sums it all up in one sentence.

[@martifingers]

Yes for sure artistic progress was their antidote to stagnation and boredom and we all gained as a result. Two caveats though - one was that, while of course their musical sophistication grew as they progressed even the early work had great originality. The second was that it seems that right up to the end another spur was competition both from other bands (they seemed acutely aware of what others were doing) and within the band (mainly between John and Paul - the dynamic with George was somewhat more complicated as is well known.)

[@scottamichie]

“They began…touring band for teenage girls.” Nope. That’s not what it was. You really think Beatlemania-a worldwide phenomenon-was just teenage girls? Not the way it was. To put it in one sentence: with all the “girls” in cavern club seats there were guys lining the walls…there for it all.

[@cuebj]

No. They began a few school friends that morphed into teenage John, Paul, George, and Stuart with different drummers or none. They lucked out to go to the reddest red light gangster port town of post-war Germany playing 12-hour shifts at the sleaziest club on the street, The Indra Club, before moving to the next sleaziest, The Kaiserkeller. They persuaded Pete to go with them as drummer. George was underage. Stuart fell in love with Astrid and left the group to further his brilliant fine art studies. As teens, they learned very fast to entertain tooled up adult gangsters and prostitutes for 4 hours with a short break in between. Stuart died soon after of a brain bleed possbily the result of a beating after a gig in Liverpool but a gang of teddy boys. They were the hardest, toughest garage punky band that ever existed... as teenagers. When they returned to Liverpool, they had transformed from kids messing about to something very different and very tough. When it all looked like they couldn't take it any further, Brian Epstein, a local record store owner-manager, became their manager. He persuaded them to smarten up and soften their show to appeal to a wider audience than thrill seekers and real hard men. They had two eras before pop stardom: kids messing about; then the toughest punk ever; then pop 'boy band' before the term was invented while being in control of their singing, playing, arrangements; then studio-based inventing the concept of studio as instrument; then all of them had productive post-Beatles careers. But they were always evolving and rarely repeated themselves. It's just that they were doing it before anyone else so they were also inventing genres for others to devote whole careers to something The Beatles did once or twice brilliantly before moving on

[@robertsaul234]

Taxman is f'n great. Spiritual George was really pissed about losing 90% of his income. Paul really shreds on lead guitar too. "My advice to those that die, declare the pennies on your eyes." Brilliant!

Tomorrow never knows was the first song recorded for revolver. The Beatles kicking off the psychedelic era with sounds never heard before such as sitars and instruments being played backwards. Truly avant garde. You have to remember that nothing like this had ever been heard before.

[@arich97]

Paul was so inspired by John’s idea, he rushed home and recorded all kinds of household sounds for them to use frontwards and backwards for the song.

[@mistabook]

It STILL sounds radical, that's the crazy thing! As much as music became psychedelic in the years after Revolver, most of it just sounded like fairly standard groovy rock n roll music. This song sounds like it's being transmitted from another dimension.

[@cuebj]

@@arich97 Except Paul was the Beatle into avante garde and all sorts of current stuff in London as he was living in his girlfriend's family home in central London while John had a wife and baby in a country house.

Yes, listen to this album many times and let these brilliant songs sink in, including "Good Day Sunshine"!! This is The Beatles version of "Pictures at an Exhibitions". All 14 had their own artistic signatures. By the way, songs like "And Your Bird Can Sing" and "Dr. Robert" are straight up guitar-driven, super-tight, Beatles badass songs!

Those cuts between 1963 Beatles and 1966 Beatles you did at the end: comedy gold

[@mikecaetano]

The story of "She Said She Said", from what I understand, goes something like this. The Beatles were hanging out with The Byrds at a party in Beverly Hills in 1965 and they were all tripping on acid, that is, LSD. Among the guests were the actor Peter Fonda (star of Easy Rider, son of actor Henry Fonda, brother of actress Jane Fonda), who kept pointing to a bullet wound he sustained in an accident as a child and pestering them by saying "I know what it's like to be dead" again and again. Although that bummed out John Lennon at the time, it gave him the first line for the lyrics and the rest was more or less filled in later in the studio. "She Said She Said" and "Tomorrow Never Knows" marked the point where they psychedelic era in music really kicked off.

[@joexpoe]

Your best reaction, "Got to get you into my life" charted for the first time ever, on May 31, 1976 on the billboard top 100 charts, at number 6, ten years after the album's release. A song for the ages, then, and even now.

[@samguberman2288]

One of my favourite tracks on the album.

[@charliemac64]

Coincided with the release of the compilation "Rock and Roll Music" LP.

[@mistabook]

​@charliemac64 My dad had that when I was little and it was my first exposure to the Beatles. It was an unauthorized release (I think?) and the art and packaging were so ridiculous that even Ringo said he hated it in an interview, but the songs were of course amazing.

[@sarahfullerton6894]

I LOVE "Good Day Sunshine"! Please listen to it again. Beatles songs have a way of growing on you!

[@mikecaetano]

"Tomorrow Never Knows" kicked the psychedelic era in rock music into high gear. John Lennon pinched the lines in the first verse from the Tibetan Book of the Dead, which LSD guru Timothy Leary translated into English as part of the manual for acid trips he published back in the sixties. I met Leary once in the nineties when he was touring his last book. One thing important to note about The Beatles is that radio stations continued to play their music well into the seventies, so the kids born in the late sixties more or less "absorbed" many of these songs by osmosis when they were little. My earliest musical memories were hearing Beatles songs, including "Eleanor Rigby". And "Yellow Submarine" was one of the songs we played musical chairs with when I was in kindergarten in 1972. The Beatles impact back then was huge.

[@michaelbriefs9764]

Re: "Good Day Sunshine": I have four words for you...The Summer of Love. In 1966 and into 67, the Beatles were the Summer of Love and Psychedelia Ambassadors! Good Day Sunshine fits perfectly in with that milieu, circa 1966. Now, this song is one of Paul's "Grannie" songs, as John would say; it does have that ragtime/early-20th century piano sound and solo. It is a throw-back song, admittedly, but in the Summer of Love-ethos of the time, it was a perfect statement by the Maestro himself, Paul McCartney!

[@lifeofdariius]

Returning after hearing the whole reaction to say I enjoyed this do much and the realization of the rapid transformation in three years. So insightful!

[@anarcovision]

About the bass in Revolver: up until then Paul recorded the bass together with the basic track, the band playing altogether. Starting here, he will record the bass afterwards, alone, that will give him more room to create these wonderful basslines, and also the bass can be treated in the mixing separately, pumping up the sound in an incredible way. Then the drums here. The Beatles had a new engineer here, Geoff Emerick, who was eager to experiment. And he set up a new way to place microphones in drums, that was revolutionary, and still today is the standard way to record drums. Then about Tomorrow Never Knows. They had been playing with tapes on small tape recorders at home, and decided to use tapes as what 15 years later would be know as "samples". This was very laborious and precarious in 1966. So what you hear in TNK is drums, bass, tambura (an indian instrument that produces that cool buzzing drone), and the first ever use in pop music of samples.

Yellow Submarine is Paul proving that he can write a hit in any genre. “Let’s do a kids song! Why not?” That’s what makes it psychedelic - that freewheeling, no rules any more, vibe.

[@pemp9606]

Great song, they made music for everyone

[@lifeofdariius]

great description 👌🏾

[@gettinhungrig8806]

Written by John and Paul. John the verses, Paul the chorus.

[@nancyknoblauch6864]

I’ve been waiting!!!! Thank you for coming back STRONG!!!!

[@joescott8877]

Well, look who's back! LOL, very good indeed to see another drop from you, Dariius! Hey, Life happens, man, I trust that we're all understanding here and just psyched to see you seemingly doing OK and back on our screens and distributing honest, and honestly GOOD, analysis and appreciations!

[@jakemcdonald2783]

Darius, you’re AMAZING! Thanks again for your incredible reactions and insights and for keeping it real! Like the Beatles themselves, You inspire me! ❤

[@robertsaul234]

Doctor Robert was the dealer to stars...the Doctor Feelgood of his time. John wrote "She Said She Said" about a very high Peter Fonda who kept telling him "I know what it's like to be dead". John's reply was "who put all that shit in your head?"

Welcome back man missed your vids

[@revevsetcandwhatnot8484]

So glad to see you back!

Tomorrow Never Knows was the first ever recorded “soundscape” in popular music. It changed music forever and may well be the most influential track ever recorded.

[@samuelmiller7987]

I've been waiting 5 months specifically just to watch the expression on your face as your brain melts during 'Tomorrow Never Knows'. LOL! Classic Darius. You didn't disappoint. By the way, 'Tomorrow Never Knows' is one of the best songs on the album; it just might take multiple listenings to appreciate it as such.

[@lifeofdariius]

It's already grown on me, John's haunting melody sucks me in every time now

[@samuelmiller7987]

@@lifeofdariius When listening to 'Tomorrow Never Knows', it's best to turn off you mind, relax and float downstream.

[@julianmassaldi]

I was gonna wite the same thing, been waiting for Darius to come face to face with Tomorrow Never Knows ever since he began his chronological journey. It was great to be reminded through him of what a mindfuck of an audio experience that song is, even over half a century later! It STILL sounds like the futur to me, can't even fathom what it must have sounded like to 1966 ears

[@anthemguy]

Love your reactions and personality, Man. Keep 'em comin'

[@loganpike3915]

great to see you back!

[@jprq]

I was actually starting to worry about you… So happy this popped up today. Great, as always! One comment on Yellow Sub… I think it would have fit right in on Sgt Pepper… & on Tomorrow Never… it’s STILL ahead of its time. Much appreciation… You’re the best!

[@lifeofdariius]

i've never heard a song like Tomorrow Never Knows in my life and I listen to tons of music man. These guys we're just different 😂

[@jprq]

@@lifeofdariius Mind blowing!

[@jorgeb555]

He everybody else: Is TAXMAN going to grow on Darius, or what? It’s my favorite track with TNK a close second. Btw, Darius, that’s Paul on the solo, incorporating Indian vibes to please George. 😎

[@ryban1001]

Darius, I love your reactions to the Beatles albums. Your excitement about tracks you like is infectious!

[@ca_jon2980]

Fire cut thank god you’re back

[@betsyab121]

John- I'm Only Sleeping She Said She Said Dr. Roberts And Your Bird Can Sing Tomorrow Never Knows-- however, Paul brought in the tape loops that sounded like birds. George did the Indian drone ( the whole song is in the key of C) and the backwards guitar, Ringo did the sick drum beat, and John took the lyrics from the Tibetian Book of the Dead! Paul- Got to Get You into My Life For No One Eleanor Rigby Here There and Everywhere Good Day Sunshine George- Taxman ( Paul did the guitar solo) Love You To I Want to Tell You Ringo- sang Yellow Submarine...but John and Paul wrote it specifically for him to sing on the album

[@JoaoGabriel-lk9cv]

John didn’t take the entire lyrics from the book, tho.

[@morpher44]

@@JoaoGabriel-lk9cv Actually John was inspired by a book about the Tibetan Book of the Dead. I don't think John was running around with scrolls from Tibet.

[@MichaelBeckman]

This makes me so happy to see you back and reacting to my favorite band of all time The Beatles.

[@sallypursell1284]

The Beatles were the first band I bought an album from, in 1963. I remember every song they ever did, and I still love them. Sergeant Pepper knocked me out.

[@futuregenerationz]

What matters is how good your videos are, and so far they're phenomenal. Take all the time you need.

[@John-et9yl]

Lennon nails it on this album and took The Beatles to a new level

[@kevinsmith8321]

And your bird can sing never gets old

[@fuzzlewit9]

The genius of anyone doing new music that's never been heard before is to give their audience stuff they are comfortable with also. So some who say "my favourite track on Revolver is Good Day's Sunshine" will still hear Tomorrow Never Knows and eventually get used to it. And perhaps even grow to like it. New listeners may say "I hate Good Day's Sunshine" but love Tomorrow Never Knows. Some will like something inbetween, like For No-one, or Here There and Everywhere. They ticked everyone's boxes somewhere along the line, and took everyone out of their comfort zone. What else is music for?

[@IsaacWale2004]

Revolver is my favourite Beatles album, tied with Rubber soul. They're both masterpeices.

tomorrow never knows is my all time favorite beatles song, one of the first songs to use a fucn DRUM LOOP, SAMPLES, A FUGN REVERESED GUITAR SOLO???, THIS SONG WAS PLUCKED RIGHT OUT OF THE LATE 90's TRANCE-HOUSE SCENE

[@benlewis6453]

I've never been sure if it is a drum loop, or just Ringo playing with such ridiculously high precision that it sounds like a drum loop

[@sojiwoji]

My favorite Beatles album. The album was game changing when it came out and it set new musicians up for failure because no one beats the Beatles!

[@thewizard6077]

Man, glad to have you back Darius! I was worried about you brother. I was hoping everything was OK. I seen you posted this yesterday, but I play guitar and had practice with my band yesterday, and wanted to wait until I had time to watch your full reaction without any interruptions. Man, I dig every second of your videos. When it comes to analyzing these songs, your words are like gold and I didn't want to miss one! So happy your back, and looking forward to the continuation of your Beatles and Led Zeppelin journey. Peace
