The Beatles in Vegas - Any Love For Their LOVE Album?

[@dt9344]

Thanks Andrew. I've been able to see the show 4 times. 3 times before they revamped some of the visuals. I think Cirque shouldn't have changed bits of the show, but I guess they were trying to keep interest in the show. Best seat selection is further away from the stage. Ticket prices are more for seats closer to the stage, but you miss out on some magical sequences in the show.

[@sdt33]

You miss out on some magical sequences in the show if you get seats closer to the stage?

[@dt9344]

@@sdt33 Yes. The beginning of Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds and Tomorrow Never Knows sequences. You miss out on the effects if you are too close to the stage.

[@alexshkoditch4593]

I had some seats at mid-level when I saw Love, and they were great. There are a lot of effects coming from lighting in the audience you miss when you are down low (also, the performers are doing a lot of things simultaneously - like a 3-ring circus - that you could miss down low). There was a spoken word section that showed The Beatles as shadow figures that was projected up high you could miss in the front. I didn't care for that section much, since the dialog echoed off the theater walls and was all but unintelligible to me.

[@martindomines5863]

JMO but I feel the changes are due to key performers leaving the show and Cirque unable to replace them with someone with the same skill set. As well as keeping the show fresh as you mentioned. Cheers

[@richardblayneamerican8149]

I agree with you about the changes to the show. Like you, I saw it 'before' and 'after'. Was it because I was seeing 'Love' for the second time that it didn't have the same impact as before? No, I think it was because something had changed. 'Before' was better.

[@BentheDalek]

I completely get that people don’t want to mess around with stuff like this, but this is honestly one of my favourite albums of all time for its sheer creativeness and flow. It’s also so beautiful.

[@nicholasgarcia6402]

Well said!

[@bigredjanie]

I'm one of those "Gen-Z" fans who was really introduced to The Beatles through this album, playing it a ton on CD. I also got the chance to see it live back in 2013, and it really is an incredible experience. Without spoiling anything, there are sections you didn't hear on the album, and some otherwise atmospheric moments on it now make more sense if you've seen the show (such as the build-up to Mr. Kite)

[@sdt33]

Cool thanks everyone

[@vinylarchaeologist]

LOVE contains the only true stereo mix of I AM THE WALRUS in its complete form. The original stereo mix is fake-stereo (albeit creative) for its last third, because they had mixed in a live radio broadcast during the mixing of the mono master. They couldn’t recreate that at the time for the stereo mix, so they chose to re-channel the mono mix for that part. When they did LOVE, they finally managed to find a recording of that BBC broadcast that was used on the original mono mix, so now we finally have the entire song in true stereo. (The LOVE mix hints at the fake-stereo part in the old mix by having the string start out in one channel only, then slowly bloom out into true stereo! Something never heard before at the time, and I’m sure many fans were very excited, at least those who got the joke.)

[@bobby666666]

I like it. It's a fun listen and sounds different. If people are not happy about it, they still have the original versions.

[@rossdelain1645]

I have been listening to Beatles albums for years. And this is exactly what I hear in my dreams if my dreams play any Beatles music.

[@JaymzMhart]

I know what you mean! I teared up when I heard George’s vocals for ‘Within You, Without You’ over the music of ‘Tomorrow Never Knows’… It was exactly the way I would’ve done it. I even knew what was coming before I heard it… like I heard that mix in a past life or something. Amazing!

[@theseanwardshow]

My 4 year old daughter loves Get Back and I usually play the version from this album for the fun and variety

[@squirrelguy2195]

Count me as one of the folks who enjoys Love. I think the thing that impresses me the most with it is how well it flows together, to the point that it actually feels like the songs are supposed to go in that order. Somehow George and Giles Martin managed to make a track listing with classic Beatles songs feel like something entirely new and original.

[@savilerow4383]

The segue from 'Here comes the sun' into 'The Inner Light' is nothing short of magic

[@scatteredfrog]

Just saw Love for I think the ninth time two days ago! Some advice for those who haven't gone yet: - Get the CHEAPER tickets. You'll sit high up (even the highest seats aren't really THAT high though), but you will get to see EVERYTHING. It's a theater-in-the-round, so there's stuff going on all over the place. You won't cramp your neck from looking up! Also, during the "Tomorrow Never Knows / Within You, Without You" scene, there's a giant sheet that gets pulled across the room, and if you're sitting in the first several rows, you will be covered with that sheet and you won't see what's going on above it. - Arrive EARLY. Before the show starts, they play backing tracks to a lot of Beatles songs. It's quite a treat -- ESPECIALLY "I'm Only Sleeping." - Even if you already saw it and don't want to go back because you already saw it...it's been different *every time* I've seen it. Some differences are subtle, some are major. The overall story and timeline is still intact though. They did a complete revamp about five years ago and somehow made the thing much more colorful, which I didn't think was possible! - Be prepared to be emotionally overcome when the show starts and you first hear The Beatles' voices. - Oh...also among the changes..."I Am The Walrus" has since been replaced by "Twist and Shout." Anybody who saw the show with IATW might wonder why the change -- it actually makes perfect sense because the scene was replaced by the arrival of rock'n'roll. And "Strawberry Fields Forever," instead of being the demo -> version 1 -> version 2 -> version 3 progression, is now much closer to the standard version (just versions 2 and 3), but still with all the chaos that ends the song --- "Piggies," "Hello, Goodbye," etc. I'm wondering if they're thinking of gradually making enough changes to the music to put out a new soundtrack album (Love 2.0 or something?)

[@Parlogram]

Thanks for sharing your experience of the show.

[@michaelrochester48]

I always love mash ups, and this is probably the greatest mashup album ever

[@jesserussell7242]

I would have to agree it is the best mashup album ever especially with songs like drive my car/the word/what you’re doing and tomorrow never knows/with any without you/rain sounds really good together and even some of this song is that were featured at the end of Strawberry Fields forever while we’re on amazing version using different outtakes and starting off with the home demo version of that song.

[@ingridfong-daley5899]

The Mr. Kite/She's So Heavy track is next-level badassery. I could kiss Giles's and George's brains (and ears) for making this album. Genius exponentialed. The documentary of the making of the stage show is one of my kids' fave videos to watch when we get together over the summers/holidays. Creativity and brilliance are both fine, but creative/brilliant people who can speak intelligently about their process and people who retain their enthusiasm even when being 'technical' are the ultimate pleasure, and the LOVE stage project was headed by people with such talent and intelligence in every facet of production. The Beatles' music seems to be a bottomless wealth of inspiration to many such people. Thank goodness. :)

[@JaymzMhart]

I LOVE that mash-up also! ‘Kite’ has always been one of my favorite songs (for fifty years). I especially love the bit of Paul’s vocal from Helter Skelter screaming in!

[@jon_the_guanlong]

I'd like you to go through the album eventually and talk about all of the components of each track. I think it'd be interesting.

[@bruceblank2642]

Just saw the show. It was amazing. Talented acrobatics, great costumes, incredible dancing and multimedia. Now combine that with the greatest music ever recorded. An absolute must see for any Beatles fan.

[@johngalt5411]

I got the DVD-A version for the 5.1 mix. I love LOVE, and the surround experience really makes it even more special.

[@barnetpluscommittee238]

As a long-term Beatles fan, I love this album. The mix is inspired as the songs themselves.

[@panslegs2773]

I remember hearing about this album and thinking oh no, what a terrible idea... until a Beatles fan friend played it to me. Then I was won over by it. I agree about tracks like Help! sounding their very best hear. I also wholeheartedly agree that George Martin's input helps the result immensely. Giles hasn't really hit the same heights since unfortunately.

[@DeckerIV]

Hi Andrew, I have to say that I LOVE this video. I just got back from my trip from Las Vegas, where I was able to see the last ever performance of the Love show on July 6. It was absolutely spectacular, and I was able to talk to some employees about the closing of the show. According to them, it was seriously considered to move the show to Liverpool after the Hard Rock demolishes the Mirage Hotel. They said that the cost to rebuild the theater for the show in Liverpool would be around 48 million dollars, and sadly, the idea was scraped. I have a family member who lives in Vegas, and they know someone who works for the Circus de Souli company, and they were ordered to delete all the music for the show. It's sad to see this come to an end, I could see the performers were very emotional towards the end of the show. I will never forget how special it was, and I did my best to document my experience. I hope you got a chance to see the show in person!!!

[@Parlogram]

Yes, it's all very sad. I'm sorry I never got to see it myself. Thanks for sharing your experience of that last night.

[@normansaunders6891]

Brilliant narrative Andrew. George Harrison was definitely underrated as an innovator. I would be interested to see a similar mash-up of their solo works possibly based around Band On The Run as the central theme. Much of their post Beatles work does measure up and a sequel to Love is long overdue. It would be nice to see them re-united on disc one more time.

[@jesserussell7242]

I would have to agree Norman being one of the biggest Beatles fans ever I’d love to see another love album sequel that would be great songs that didn’t quite make it into the first album I absolutely love this album it’s fantastic all the mash ups and I love the fact that George Martin and his son Giles used original master tapes which sounds so good and sounds really clear. What are your favorite songs off of the album and mash ups?

[@terrythekittieful]

A remixed Revolver would be the next best thing.

[@normansaunders6891]

@@jesserussell7242 Personally I like the whole album (played it to death in the car) but Drive My Car, Strawberry Fields, Within You, Without You, Here Comes The Sun and Octopus's Garden to name but a few stand out. While My Guitar was also very tastefully done.

[@normansaunders6891]

@@terrythekittieful Rubber Soul was the point where George Martin began separating and keeping everything on 1" tapes so I guess maybe along with AI technology the 60th anniversaries may be another interesting milestone.

[@elzuzo]

My story with this album is very special. I've been a beatlemaniac since I was 9 or 10 -I´m 56 now- but for some reasons I stopped hearing Beatles for many years until I heard LOVE. The first time I heard it I was IN TEARS, and since then I hear Beatles almost everyday. Apart from the emotional component I think that is a masterpiece that Sir George could only have done. The ending of "Strawberry Fields Forever" is an example. In, 2016 I saw the show and again I was deeply moved and emotional. Thanks Andrew for this great review.

[@chriscampanozzi6516]

Great information as always. LOVE is a wonderful album. The sound quality is exceptional as is the sequence of songs and how it all flows.

[@georgeprice4212]

I found this CD at a pawnshop in Humble and bought it out of curiosity. My friend thought it was going to be “Dance Remixes”, which he absolutely despises. I put it on, and we were both impressed by what we heard! He admitted after that this was one “remix” that was actually done well and creatively.

I stumbled across this album by accident and it blew me away! I would love to relive that experience again. Still play this album every now and then!

What was that like Tom Bing Abbey Road listening to the Beatles live album I bet that was great love would have to be my all-time favorite Beatles compilation album it’s a fantastic album not just on TV but on vinyl what are the great highlights for you of the songs from that album? I know for me it’s hard for me to pick because I love the entire album and I was so excited when I heard all the songs in a fresh new way especially octopus’s Garden starting with a good night instrumental then going into the original and then having the saxophone solo missing in the master version because it was buried in the mix and I love that saxophone solo plan by Ronnie Scott.

[@draregniknot6542]

Deep, detailed and entertaining. Keep up the good work. I bought the cd/DVD version when first released upon being surprised to see a new Beatles album in my local record store! I was very happy with the music, though a little surprised at the time that there was no video content in the DVD. I love the clarity of both discs and I believe that the remixes are totally in keeping with the spirit of the studio Beatles output, post 1966, which i had much enjoyed when firstreleased during my childhood and early teens. Thanks for this illuminating video.

[@Parlogram]

Thanks for watching, Dr.

[@alanshepherd4304]

I've been a Beatles fan since 1963 and STILL a fan to this day, the Beatles are the number one band in the world ever!!! When the Love album came out as a fan I obviously bought it, with I admit a little trepidation!! I needn't have worried, I thought the album was excellent!! It gave the Beatles music a breath of fresh air and exposed the entire Beatles catalogue to a whole new audience. In fact I'm going to listen to it right now!!!😁😁😁🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

[@mattgaskell945]

Love the sound on this album. It just shows how much better the sound of the Beatles music will be in the future. It’s a really good listen and a nice addition to the Beatles cannon. Thanks, Andrew.

[@carlnielsen3477]

I like "Love" a lot more than that never ending remaster thing. Because you can listen to "Love" without comparing with an older version. This is something else, and not ment to be a replacement for something, but a work in its own right. I listen to it sometimes, and I think it is entertaining and a fresh approach. To me it is an addition and not destroying anything, such as - at least to me - that constant stream of new remixes of original Beatles-releases do. "Love" is wha it is, and offers a different experience of Beatles-music.

[@moondogaudiojones1146]

Well done! The important thing here is that you focused on George and Giles. Brilliant job from the both of them. Though I’ve not seen the performance either the music showed how “in the forefront” the Beatles music still was in the era of Mashups. I didn’t think anything would work as well as it did…together! Love was smart, beautifully constructed and audibly sonic for the brain! I’ve listened to it several times over the years. I have collected mashups for some time now and this fits in beautifully when I’m ready to to knock some cobwebs loose from this old cranial tuning station… Thanks! Well done!!!

[@Wurlyscope]

I love the way the songs are mixed together. For me the 5.1 dvd is pure hapiness. It is a fantastic immersive experience.

[@Goldberg1337]

The Love album really brings me back to when I was a teenager in high school. I still remember being blown away by the remixes, and discussing the album with other young Beatles fans over instant messenger. With the remastered albums coming out a couple of years later, plus Beatles Rock Band, it was a magical time to be a Beatles fan! It was amazing to see new Beatles albums being released - especially something so high quality. "Love" is definitely up to the Beatles' high standards!

[@stephentansleysr.4625]

Hi Andrew, Excellent video on the LOVE soundtrack album. I love this recording and have been a big fan of it since 2007. My wife and I were fortunate to see LOVE in Las Vegas in February 2007. The sound in the theater was sonically INCREDIBLE. The sound coming from the seats was mind blowing. I continue to enjoy both the vinyl and the cd… most especially the dvd in 5.1.

[@douglasconover6109]

Thanks for another great video, Andrew. I have been lucky enough to see the LOVE show in Las Vegas three times. Obviously, I like it. Even though it's been 3 years since I saw it last my opinion of it has not changed. I have seen a lot of live performances of all sorts in my lifetime, and I have to say that LOVE is the best live performance of any sort I have ever seen. Not only is the music fabulous but the Cirque du Soleil company made an absolutely remarkable, moving and profoundly beautiful production. The first time I saw it I realized near the end I had never stopped smiling. As a Beatles fan, Andrew, you owe it to yourself to experience LOVE. I also love the soundtrack and listen to it quite frequently. I wish they would release the rest of the songs that they produced for LOVE. As a first gen fan -- I received the VeeJay Songs Pictures and Stories for my 8th birthday in 1964 -- I consider myself a Beatles purist. However, that the Beatles and their families approved of the release is good enough for me. After all, the Beatles were all about new sounds and new ways of creating music. LOVE is just another step in their story.

Thanks for sharing your experience, Douglas. It's on my bucket list.

It appeared in 2006, of course - I lived in Portugal at the time and remember asking in local record shops when it was due out, and the assistants said they'd never heard of it. I had to wait until I got home to the UK that xmas to be gifted a copy.

[@michaelf9693]

The sound at the show is amazing with speakers placed right in your chair. Paul’s harmony vocals on Come Together were brought way up in the mix and came out in the chair speaker. So much so that I actually jumped a little the first time because it sounded like someone was next to me singing. Since you mentioned Rock Band how about a video on those mixes? I really appreciate the knowledge you bring to these videos as well as the visuals and general style of the videos themselves.

[@huhuhu557]

To me the Beatles rock band mixes are better than the remixes we got recently, but the game also introduce me to more Beatles songs. Just how the love album did when I was 6

[@rolandbogush2594]

Thanks, Andrew - I've been fortunate enough to see the Vegas show 3 times, and it really reinvigorated and reinforced my love for The Beatles. More importantly, it got my kids hooked on them too! Watching the show, you get to feel some of the EXCITEMENT the Beatles generated which you don't always get from listening to some of the slightly sterile sounding studio albums. I would go so far as to say I actually prefer the Love versions of 'Lucy' and 'Gently Weeps', even though I am normally a stickler for authenticity and originality. As Andrew correctly says, only by seeing the show can you fully appreciate how the songs work in the context of the show, although listening to the album is a pretty good vicarious alternative.

This version of Walrus is by far the best headphone experience. I had to pick my jaw up from the floor. I love the original mono mix of course, but good god, a dynamic modern remix of Walrus was SO needed. Lovely audio deliciousness! Thanks for the video Andrew!

[@geoffmower8729]

I for some reason get very emotional listening to this album. Right from the start with the wonderful vocals of Because without music and the bird sounds takes me to an old day church cemetery. It took me to a place where the Beatles had died and were seeing and hearing there lives in music flash before there eyes. After each song it ether morphs into another song or goes to a dreamy background sound almost as if with each memory makes you forget your on this strange journey and brings you back to reality. One part that always gets me is when the music to Ringo's Goodnight starts up and then after a beautiful run of a hand across a harp Ringo starts reciting the words to Yellow submarine as if he was just standing there speaking the words reflecting his memories of the Beatles and then it go's strait into the full song just beautiful. LOVE IT.

[@johncollier6959]

I bought the album several years before I made it out to Las Vegas to see the show. Loved the album and the show. I have seen it twice. The first time, on the front row of one of the theater sections, and the second time, seated about mid way in another section. Both were great experiences, but I recommend sitting about mid section if you are only going to see it once. And since it is almost completely in the round, you can see it from different sides of the theater and get a whole different perspective. Incredible show.

Another interesting video Andrew with great detail regarding the Love album. As for me, I received the cd for Christmas in 2006 but I was too scared to play it in case it was like 'Stars On 45'.

I also really liked the snippets of other songs being dropped in and identifying them, some took me ages to work out. I played it a lot more than the Anthology series. Seeing the show in Las Vegas is on my bucket list, might get there one day.

I saw the show around 2007. Going in I wasn't sure what to expect. I had seen some cirque shows prior to this and they all were fantastic. This show was no exception. Even if you somehow never heard of the Beatles you would ❤ the show. My only concern is that the Mirage has been sold and will be replaced with a Hard Rock hotel. Apparently from the ground up.

I'll never forget my first spin of 'Love'. My jaw was on the floor over the mashups, especially Drive My Car/What You're Doing/The Word and especially Tomorrow Never Knows/Within You, Without You. Honestly didn't listen to anything else for weeks. Having grown up with the Stars On medley, all I could think was WOW, they could actually redo that medley PERFECTLY now with the originals.

[@DarthStone]

I’ve been fortunate enough to have seen this show 3 times, and I can’t wait to go see it again. I can’t fathom just listening to this without the visual information displayed on the show itself. It would be like just listening to the star wars soundtrack, without ever watching the film: The way some performances just build up towards our beloved Beatles music is simply astounding, I couldn’t recommend this show enough. Worth a trip to Vegas all by itself.

I love this album! I still think it was very inventive and creative. I especially love George Martin's string arrangement added to the demo of "While My Guitar Gently Weeps." The album, for me, was quite the experience, especially in 5.1. Then, getting to see the stage show took it to another level. I hope you get a chance to see it, Andrew.

My daughter’s friends dad had a big job at Le Cirque she told me. I eventually met the guy. He was the artistic director of ‘Love’ !!!! He invited us to his house. He told me very normally that he worked with Sir Paul and Mr Starkey specially with Sir many times for the then project LOVE. As I was dealing with my jaw when it went crushing on to the floor he told me that Paul was very nice not a bit snob. But you see, that was not my biggest surprise of the evening. When he told me that music for him was ok but that he never was a Beatle fan, that’s when I totally went nuts in my head!! For me LOVE is wonderful not because I’m québécois (French Canadian if you will) where Le Cirque was created. But because of the reinvented ways to listen to the songs that I have been listening for 50 years.

Great story, Patrice! Thanks for sharing it.

I hope you will do a follow-up video going into the specifics of each song. What parts of what songs were used where.

Many thanks Andrew ... once again. "Love" is for me a lot of fun (sounds like a blind test !) and sounds so great. The 5.1 mix is a must have.

[@AndrewAmbrose]

I listened to the Love album for the first time before watching this video. I personally find it to be a brilliant album.

[@Pacmanfan-po9rn]

This is my favourite Beatles release ever

[@michaelkurtz4447]

It’s totally inspired. I’ve seen /heard it three times. I’ll go experience again. It’s fantastic.

[@mitchellaxelrod5286]

I like the album a lot, especially this version of While My Guitar Gently Weeps. Yes, you DO need to see the show. I saw it in 2009 and both together create a full package of what "Love" is supposed to be. When you hear Come Together during the show, you will be blown away. The harmonies are in the back of your head because the speakers are surrounding you in your seat. I thought somebody behind me was singing really well..lol. As always, wonderful video.

[@Parlogram]

Thanks for sharing your experience, Mitchell.

I love it! Usually I’d be against something like this, but they pulled it off superbly!

[@5000lamas]

I think of it as a soundtrack. I love the mashups. Wish it was longer.

[@bobf.5538]

Best way to hear this if you don't have surround sound is to play the cd while wearing headphones .it's a journey...I swear every time I play it I hear something new I missed the first 20 plays...it s getting better all the time ! A splendid time is guaranteed for all

[@timbrown1834]

It's interesting and really brings to light different things in the mixes of various songs that you wouldn't normally notice.

[@pigoman6566]

This album and show introduced me to the Beatles. The most important thing that I’ve ever listened and watched. Lead me to realize that I want to play music which is a path I hope to take further. It closing and me never getting to see it again because I saw this show when I was 6 before the revamp in 2016. I’m still coping about not seeing it before it closed….

[@Revolution9Beatlesfanclub]

I see it 4 times in different levels and sides and it is FANTASTIC

[@farrellmcnulty909]

On the one hand, I loved what they did with these mashups. I think my favorite one is the one in which Lucy In the Sky With Diamonds merges with outtake audio from Good Night and then as the Good Night riff is played in the background Ringo is singing the first verse occapella (yeah, everything's gonna be mellow......😄). On the OTHER hand, I do prefer the songs the way they are on the original albums just as they are (including Giles' remixes) , but LOVE can be fun. The point of this was to thank you for mentioning the two bonus tracks that appear on I Tunes. I instantly downloaded them. I had no idea they existed because I bought the original CD the day it was released, so I saw no need to look on I tunes. Anyway, thanks again for pointing those out.

When I first got this album in 2006 it was a shocking experience as a fairly young but well knowledgeable fan. Through the years it grew into me and it became a very important part of my Beatles collection. I saw the show live in 2022 and it was such a magical experience. I felt confident to tell my friends this was the closest experience to hear the band live that you can ever get. Amazing experience.

[@felixlusash]

Loved it. (The combination of songs. I hope more are coming…

[@kadzlostandfoundmedia]

I saw that show in Vegas in 2019

[@LHChristopher]

You've got to make it a point to see the show. I've seen it 4 times, but always made sure my seats were at different locations of the stage. I love this CD... Stay Gold!!

[@mbgaomo]

Love It Love It Love It...Some highlights for me are Get Back/Glass Onion, Octopus's Garden, While My Guitar Gently Weeps and the wonderful version of All You Need Is Love.

[@indigohammer5732]

I really like it. It's a great way to present familiar songs, while augmenting them with deeper cuts. The first time I heard Within you, without you/Tomorrow Never Knows, I was literally open mouthed with shock and delight! It's a great fun album. And that's what it's all about!

[@darkhorsejim]

Having grown up with the Beatles & a total purist, I was skeptical when LOVE was released. But after one listen, and countless more since, I have nothing but LOVE for this masterpiece. It's an amazing soundtrack for an amazing show, that I hope to see one day. My biggest disappointment is that George never got see his vision become as successful as it did.

[@Peter-nm5yr]

As a massive beatles fan, I can honestly say this is my favourite vinyl. The songs just flow wonderfully! I put off playing it for a few years thinking it's just a compilation of Beatle songs. Boy was I wrong. It's an absolute masterpiece. You must give it a listen.
