Maxwell's Silver Hammer

The Analogues perform 'Maxwell's Silver Hammer' by The Beatles during a live rendition of the album Abbey Road, performed at Abbey Road Studios, June 30, 2019.

[@seventeendegree]

That makes me wanna play the anvil again.

[@magraretsbane6274]

It’s never too Late

[@cpt.dr.hawkeye1740]

Do you remember how to tune it?

[@memohuerta4965]

You mean hammer lol

[@77Badger]

Make sure you get the Rosewood anvil by Fender.

[@dinpuiaraltesiakeng2818]

This is the kind of live show i want to watch all day!

[@garychambers5850]

Yes, forget about all those copy Beatles bands, they are beginning to be a drag! These guys are great! Yes, I too can watch them all day! I love it when the cover the complete *"WHITE ALBUM"*

[@lancesheridan5304]

The Analogues are as close a band as you’ll ever get to covering The Beatles with musical expertise- they are masters of their craft! As a Beatles fan for over 58 years, The Analogues have successfully carried on the Fab Four’s music. Bravo!

[@mazasan]

Excellent. If I hadn’t heard the song literally hundreds of times I would have thought it was The Beatles.

[@joesmith34]

@Mazasaan Yup it sure does with or without Mal Evans hitting the anvil.

[@mazasan]

@@joesmith34 😂

[@SRoode]

I'm stunned. Truly amazing.... I have never heard better except for the original. Wow...

[@johnsurrey7426]

Absolutely brilliant! Whoever is on the Moog does a wonderful job. And the rest of the sounds (including the anvil!) are spot on.

[@scotsman6712]

I felt the anvil player had no sense of dynamics, but that's coming from someone who used to shoe horses.

[@MercyPrevails]

@@scotsman6712 hahaha

[@garychambers5850]

The guitarist got the guitar part down to a tee. And its the same style Fender Telecaster George used during the *"Abbey Road Sessions"* although not sure if _George or Paul_ played the guitar part

[@christicar4]

This song illustrates the wonderful range of Beatles songs covering all tastes. Rock on Tommy.

[@scummydummy]

Crazy I was actually randomly searching KZbin for versions of this song and here's 1, 1 hour ago lol. Very obscure song to happen with. Fantastic song, upbeat and demonic. Great cover.

[@MercyPrevails]

They don’t really even cover the Beatles, they play the Beatles. Like how an Orchestra plays Mozart. This is the level, they’re using the literal exact period equal instruments. I’m simping.

[@ritalanderos4208]

Cantan como el grupo original ❤❤❤❤

[@jonathanbailey9075]

Great to see Les Dennis guesting on lead vocals

[@harrynoke6458]

With just a hint of Sting mixed in

[@tarasbidovanets6437]

That's awesome! Hammerman and Moogman play their parts just excellently.

[@hypedelic]

saw them live twice in 2023 ... simply awesome

[@dachille1]

They did a brilliant job on that wonderful song. It was very entertaining. The group has a lot of talent.

[@chrisjohnson1308]

With each subsequent video, I continue to be more and more amazed. It makes my heart smile, listening to some of the soundtrack of my life, performed live. Thank you!!! 💕

[@blueoceantraders]

You guys are wonderful!

[@alfconde7826]

... funny, jollier and very simple. Never thought a music is this fun 😉. Thank you 🙏🏻

[@theovandijk3429]

The bass player does not seem to have any fun at all.

[@slimtimm1]

Unbelievable rendition

[@nestormunozberruecos5917]

No cabe duda los análogos son unos verdaderos maestros, son geniales, seguramente que Paúl McCartney pensará y dirá(bueno estoy conjeturando) o también Ringo caray creo que hasta nos superaron estos músicos holandeses. NUEVAMENTE felicitaciones The Analogues. Saludos desde México!!

[@theo9952]

Best Beatles tribute band that does not have to immitate voices and looks to be so.

[@michaelbarron9398]

Brilliant,best take off of the Beatles yet.

[@analoggil9643]

This dudes !!!

[@patricklemeur4607]

ANALOGUES , nous aident à découvrir , le travail génial des BEATLES ! la précision....

[@user-wj9jf5zg2p]

この曲がライブで聴けるって！！！！凄い！！！！

[@chingandoestoy]

Amazing as always!

[@markszekesfehervar6222]

Melhor banda cover de The Beatles, sem dúvida alguma.

[@franciscowellingtonsilva9670]

Concordo, Mark. Já vi muitas bandas cover, ao vivo e aqui no KZbin. Tudo que tocam fica perfeito; os vocais são muito bons, só não consigo identificar o sotaque, mas já vi elogios em comentários de nativos da língua inglesa. Até a "difícil" Oh! Darling ficou emocionante. Só espero vê-los um dia aqui em Fortaleza. Será missão impossível?

[@Alex-cp5ok]

Silver hammer, lt's cool, amazing

[@garychambers5850]

One word for this performance.... *"EXCELLENT"* 🌞🚶🏿‍♂🚶🏿‍♂🚶🏿‍♂🚶🏿‍♂❤

[@victorbolanos9810]

Si los escucho sin verlos.... juraría que son los Beatles!!!!

[@ManubibiWalsh]

ABSOLUTELY amazing cover right there!

[@westfield90]

Truly the best

[@christicar4]

Due to this song my footballing mates gave me the nickname Max as I was an avid Beatles fan. 😂😂

[@da1215]

Amazing. I always thought they used a Fender Bass VI on this

[@HSaldana3]

Excellent interpretations of Beatles opus.

[@docbrandy915]

All these years listening to this song, I was sure the bass part was not being played by a bass guitar, but rather another wind / brass instrument. Marvelous to see how it was done.

[@theo9952]

The anvil player is awesome !

[@paulobertazzi]

Esta banda é fantástica. Inacreditável a fidelidade ao original, instrumentos e os vocais. Adoro os Analogues quando Beatles! 👏👏👏

[@walterleon5221]

Otro portentoso estreno para hoy ¿La obra? Nada más y nada menos que Maxwell's Silver Hammer. Una creación de letra sangrienta de Macca que cuenta la historia de un estudiante, asesino en serie, que Lennon detestaba tanto, que se negó a tocar instrumento alguno en su grabación el 9 de julio de 1969 (mañana cumple 53 años). The Analogues, en un "Backstage" reciente explicó todo lo que les costó conseguir el yunque que sonara igual que el de los liverpulianos. Ojalá la vean hoy en directo a las 5 pm. Otra joya en ciernes de este grupo tan sorprendente. Los esperamos en Medellin, Colombia. Llenaremos el teatro.

[@MercyPrevails]

I did not know that this was based on a real murder, I heard that one time during a session John Lennon wasn’t playing his instruments because he was recovering from a car accident? Would you be able to tell me which murder this song was related to?

[@obras]

Vengan a Argentina!

[@jaybee9269]

I knew John hated it but not that it was based on a real incident! Kind of like the Stones’ Midnight Rambler.

[@elbitle]

@@MercyPrevails I think it might’ve been lost in translation, but it doesn’t say it’s based on a real life event.

[@John-Wayne]

Thanx for your memories.

[@tvtime1505]

Mind blown.

[@grant3938]

quel plaisir la musique des Beatles live avec le perfectionnisme des Analogues 💕 Hope see you in France soon

[@SharpCinema]

Beautiful - love the song, love the cover

[@talatguneyli2124]

Mais um sucesso da maior banda de rock te todos os tempos!

[@KingfisherTalkingPictures]

Such a creepy song under the pop music. One of my favorite covers is the Steve Martin version.

[@KeonPH]

What 100% on RockBand sounds like.

[@aquilaebenedicti]

yeeeeeah!!!

[@dupont135]

Not the bestest song from Beatles, but I still had a pint listening this. Tastes good....

[@mariacristinasalernocarozz6942]

Jon los adoraría Analogues

[@arielperetz7210]

COME TO THE USA PLEASEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

[@alpumar]

Dudo que los Beatles, fuera del estudio, en directo, pudieran alcanzar esta calidad. A los Beatles les otorgamos la genialidad de sus creaciones. A los Analogues, la interpretación.

[@paul9156c]

If you close your eyes, can you tell the difference? They sound just like the original.

[@olivierrorif6028]

on get back film it is george on bass VI guys ! :)

[@BeatlesCentricUniverse]

What is the guitarist using to get George's EXACT tone? Amazing!

[@Robert-Wheatley]

Right. I always assumed it was done post production with some AR magic.

[@gustavomendoza8989]

Genios. Como se llama la banda?

[@teamcosmeek6467]

The anvil is an instrument everyone 🔨

[@TopperMIDI]

Outstanding! So, did the Beatles use an anvil? Curious. Also wondering if the lead singer here does any Sting songs. Because he looks like Sting.

[@mariacristinasalernocarozz6942]

Well, so it seems we are ALL discovering The Mucho Bueno, Analogues. My father was a bandoneón player and

[@adrianoazevedo8549]

[@pasion4piano]

Eyes closed,,, I would have guess this was the original playing.

[@i8867]

Ребята, меня примите в группу, у меня высший разряд слесаря.

[@jobsgarage]

You guys make it look so efforless

[@Synchronicety]

well, there are some reasons for germans loving the netherlands

[@hcctotaal1]

Subime

[@malcolmgilbert3420]

The Beatles' road manager, Mal Evans, did the hammer on the anvil for the song. Tragically, Mal was shot dead by police in his L.A. home in 1974. 😔

[@yogasoce]

Avoid the story line .. just enjoy the music n the Anvil 😁

[@CluvVenny]

I know for a fact that John Lennon and George Harrison hated this song, maybe McCartney over-rehearsed them in the recording studio. Maybe Ringo hated this song as well, I just can’t verify Ringo’s side of the story.
