Ringo is a BEAST on this....proving he can do that whenever it is needed

[@jonrmartin]

The man is a human metronome. His consistency and ability to keep time is genuinely impressive and his natural talent made him irreplaceable as a Beatle. There is a reason the other 3 all called Ringo in at one point or another for their solo projects and in turn showed up to play on his without hesitation. To that end I'd say Ringo is a beast on everything he recorded with the Beatles.

[@MrsColumbo823]

So true. Amazing drumming on this.

[@robinfoster7597]

It was actually played much faster when they recorded it - the final version is slowed down!

[@williamj.sheehan2001]

@Darrell7777 Darrell, I'm honestly not trying to be argumentative, but although Ringo's voice may not be "technically great", it is the perfect fit for a song like "Goodnight" --- a lullaby that moves me greatly every time.

[@williamj.sheehan2001]

@Darrell7777 Fair enough!

[@dansace1]

Time to flip that 45 and get to Paperback Writer. One of the best singles of all time.

[@edwardchiles4907]

[@LongGone77]

One of my favourite singles of all time. Beatles at their peak imo.

[@rickspencer6573]

The mono version of Paperback Writer, I think, is much better than the stereo version. It feels like a heavier sound. Great bass. Also, the echo, near the end of the song, is more prevalent.

[@daydream_believer]

I'd be curious to learn if they know what a 45 is?!! 😊

[@AceAnnie1-7]

Definitely!

[@BClarke]

“Rain” and “It’s All Too Much” are the two most criminally underrated Beatles tracks.

[@99tonnes]

Where do you find the underrating stats, B?

[@dadoleyna]

My overall picks for most underrated Beatles songs are "I've Just Seen a Face", "The Inner Light", and "When I'm Sixty Four", which was one of Paul's early song-writing efforts, only brought out YEARS after he wrote it.

[@paulnickson8734]

'Hey Bulldog' has a great groove ... And I can't deny the simple rock 'n roll fun of 'Leave My Kitten Alone'.

[@SP-fs2jc]

Agreed

[@jazny]

@@99tonnesJust my opinion, but I’ve always felt that if they didn’t make the cut for the red and blue double albums (1962-1966 and 1967-1970) they are inherently underrated.

Leave it to John to wear sunglasses on a song about "Rain".

he was always a poser.

[@99tonnes]

You know the back cover of 'Revolver', the album they were recording when this came out? On that photo he's the only one _not_ wearing sunglasses indoors.

[@jefflake9855]

Keep in mind that John was severely nearsighted. I guess they were likely perperscription glasses with tinted lenses for the sun.

[@sclarkehamlin]

More than 30 years ago, I was stuck in a terrible hours-long So Cal traffic jam and limped into my garage where I sat in my car for another 15 minutes to finish listening to an NPR interview with Ringo Starr. During the last part of the interview, Ringo said "Rain" was one of his personal favorite Beatles compositions because the drum intro was so much fun to play. Every time I hear "Rain," I think how Ringo's memories made stop-and-go driving a bearable experience.

[@rogerdaly6326]

As always , Ringo being the consumate pro , adding only what's needed for the song , never over embellishing.

[@jimcarberry8262]

I've heard people critical of Ringo's drumming but to me he was as important as the rest of Beatles. They wouldn't have been the Beatles without him.

[@99tonnes]

No disrespect to Ringo, but they were just that for several years. But I guess their first single wasn't by the Beatles then? Wonder who it was.

[@scottandrewbrass1931]

​@@99tonnes The first single in Britain had Ringo on it. The version with Andy White drumming was on their first album. And also had Ringo on it ( Tambourine). The Beatles before Ringo weren't really worth bothering about.

[@harold3165]

Paul was the hero of The Beatles.

[@rrailguitar2211]

This is one of the two songs where the Beatles' engineer Geoff Emerick rigged up two bass amplifiers facing each other with one having the transducer wiring reversed so that it functioned like a giant microphone and took in the sound waves from Paul's amp and turned them to electrical signals going to the board, I guess. Paul and Geoff had talked about how they could get a really BIG bass sound like on Motown records in those days. The other song they used this on was "Paperback Writer." Paul also used a Rickenbacker bass on this cut, although he's shown in the video playing his trusty Hofner. I've had each of the Beatles as my favorite at different times. When I was a drummer in elementary and junior high it was Ringo. In bands I've favored singing George songs because his range is lower. John was such a great shouter...nobody could holler like him. Paul is the great melody writer of our time.

[@tawnieriekena7]

No. Emerick did not do that on Rain. Check the session notes.

[@benjaminbarrera214]

Interesting about the bass, because Motown recorded direct into the board. Whatever works.

[@tawnieriekena7]

@@benjaminbarrera214 For his live shows, we have one channel DI, and another channel is a miked amp for Paul's bass, and the same for his guitar rig. For Rain, a conventional mic and amp setup was used. Not the procedure implemented on Paperback Writer. The comment above is mistaken about that.

[@99tonnes]

I'd say Paul does most of the hollering songs, from Long Tall Sally through to Oh! Darling, via I'm down and Helter Skelter. John has a couple of notable ones too, of course, famously Twist and Shout, plus there's Bad Boy and Don't Let Me Down. Both pretty good at the belting, I'd say.

[@amb2745]

@@benjaminbarrera214 it was John who asked Geoff Emerick about how songs in the U.S. have a more bass presence than Beatles records in the UK. Geoff told John that it had to do with cutting the record so that the record needle wouldn't jump when playing song with a heavier bass content. EMI's technical division came up with a way to control the bass so that there's more bass without causing the record needle to jump. It's called Automatic Transient Overload Control, or ATOC. If you want to know more about it, check out Mark Lewishom's Beatles Recording Sessions book for more details.

[@chicklets4ever51]

@@gristlevonraben I love the Doors too and have often wondered what would have happened had he not died. But he left at a good time, since ALL the Doors' albums were great, and the whole music scene was changing and would be completely transformed by 1975. The angel that inspired the Sixties had finally left the earth. The surviving bands (Grateful Dead, Rolling Stones, Traffic, and a few others) carried on valiantly, but I think that by the early 70s their best work was already behind them. The same would probably have happened to the Doors. Or Jim would have become a full-time poet.

[@chicklets4ever51]

The Jefferson Airplane had probably as many talented people as the Beatles, both in terms of musicianship and songwriting ability. Three great songwriters (Paul Kantner, Grace Slick, Marty Balin), top tier musicianship (bassist Jack Casady was one of the best of the classic-rock era, lead guitarist Jorma Kaukonen practically invented the San Francisco acid-rock fuzz sound, Grace was a good pianist and Kantner a superb rhythm guitarist), and excellent vocals, especially from Grace and Marty. But the candle burned too fast.

[@timwhitnell7145]

I've always been a Paul guy but of course acknowledge the immense talent of John, George and Ringo. John was so creative especially in their early to mid-years and also had a great voice. Paul is the most talented musician of the group, the professional when needed to get things started and done, and also a nice guy, like Ringo, so I believe he was the most important member. George played some great lead and rhythm guitar along with his superb backing vocals/harmonies. Ringo kept things loose and kept the beat ... all ... the ... time.

This was recorded faster and then slowed down for the record. That's why the vocals have that psychedelic drawn-out sound, other instuments too. Cool reaction to a great song!

[@greywolferhm]

Indeed. Sir George Martin was way ahead of his time. And all of this on a 4-track!?

[@Jessica_Roth]

Such a deep catalogue! The Beatles are the greatest because they have winner after winner after winner. This was the B-Side to "Paperback Writer", so it's a fine contrast to Paul McCartney's perky A-side, with John Lennon showcasing his experiments in psychedelia. Similarly groundbreaking songs by John in this 1965-1966 period include "Tomorrow Never Knows", "She Said, She Said", "Dr. Robert", "And Your Bird Can Sing" and "I'm Only Sleeping". Worthy listens, every one. Geoff Emerick, one of the recording engineers, said that he got the sound here by speeding up the recording of the instruments, but slowing down John's vocal when he recorded it separately. When both were adjusting to normal speed, the backing track had this scratchy feel and John's voice was higher than normal, and the effect was what you hear. Btw, I'm #TeamJohn, easily. (No offense to the others.)

@@shyman99 What about her? Anybody who watched "Get Back" saw that Yoko was not in the least disruptive and unfairly blamed. Let's recall that it was PAUL who actually quit the group, and who tried to arrogate all the control to himself. Maybe if he hadn't insisted on turning the finances over to Linda's dad, things would have worked differently. (And yes, I know that Allan Klein turned out to be the scam artist Paul thought him to be. That doesn't mean he couldn't have worked to find a more agreeable solution than "give me all the power.")

B side us awesome also, Paperback Writer

[@thewizard6077]

Oh, you really need to show amber "Blackbird" and "While My Guitar Gently Weeps"! She will love them! Also, you listened to the live version of Led Zeppelin's "Since I've Been Loving You" when you started the channel, but neither of you have listened to the studio recording of that song, which is so superior to the live version, and is one of the greatest achievements in audio recording history. I highly recommend listening to that studio recording as well. it will touch your soul. Peace

[@redletter2008]

Actually, Amber did listen to “While My Guitar Gently Weeps” with Jay. She may have forgotten - it was one of their earliest reactions. Neither of them realized or acknowledged that it was a song written/sung by George - my favorite Beatle!

[@brianparker663]

No true Beatles fan has a favourite Beatle. You need all the ingredients for the recipe to work. Mick Jagger called them "the four-headed monster".

[@DonaldMcCormick-q7m]

Thank you so much for playing my choice. This song features the very first use of backward tracking ever on a recording. Love you guys!!! Thanks again.

[@Spo-Dee-O-Dee]

Avant-garde composers started doing it in the 50s and the Doctor Who theme used it in 1963.

[@mikeguerrero72]

I think John was into trying different things that separated their music from others.

[@DonaldMcCormick-q7m]

@Spo-Dee-O-Dee oh. Maybe I'm wrong. Let me correct myself... it's probably the first time it was used when anyone cared.

[@Spo-Dee-O-Dee]

@@DonaldMcCormick-q7m Millions of Whovians would disagree...and even if the avant-garde experimenters didn't catch the ears of the masses, they were providing proof of principle for what others could build on that did reach the wider public.

[@imkluu]

In an interview, Mick Jagger was asked about their rivalry with the Beatles, and he said something like, there is no rivalry, How could we even compete when they have three lead singers.

[@Linda-y9h]

Loved them all for each personality. They were everything to us.

[@Billp19733]

Alright, I can’t believe it. I love you guys and you’re reacting to Rain!!!!!! I’m a Beatle fanatic and this is in my top five. LOVE YOU GUYS!!!

[@garfle1959]

You know that it's one of the earliest psychedelic songs if it's in in black and white

[@philipgavin6962]

Tax man.Yer blues. Paperback writer. Everybody’s got something to hide except for me and my monkey. I could go on for days naming great Beatles songs.

[@djd2819]

Ringo's drumming is letter perfect on this. Nothing embellished or over the top but precisely what the song needed.

[@floridaboy6051]

The last phrase he sings you cannot understand, because it is "When the rain comes" recorded backwards. (semoc niar eht nehw ). You could only hear it if you put the record on and spun the turntable backwards. I used to do that on my record player. Neat little trick. When this first came out, it was instantly one of my favorites by them. Great song. Thanks for reacting to it.

[@ricknbacker5626]

Rain is a drug induced Tour de Force song from John Lennon. At this time in the Spring of 1966, Tape Speed Manipulation became more common on Beatles recordings. Here the band first played the instrumental track in a higher key (B flat)) and at a faster tempo. Whilst speeding up the tape machine during the recording of the basic track. When the tape machines speed was restored to the standard setting (making the song now slower and in the key of G major) it gave the instruments more depth and sustain. John then sang his lead vocal with the tape machine slowed down. Again, when the tape machine was restored to standard speed, John's voice had an almost otherworldly quality. Amazing. 2 separate tape speed manipulations in 1 song! Throw in the reversed Lennon vocals on the songs fade. The Beatles at their experimental best. This means "RAIN", the song we've "known for all these years', was in reality never performed by the Beatles and was a creation of 2 separate 'songs'. Great reaction I really enjoyed it. RNB

[@johnsilva9139]

Thanks for that info. It explains a lot. Who else would have thought of those tape speed manipulations? And reversed vocals?!

[@ricknbacker5626]

@@johnsilva9139 Glad I could help John. Best wishes, RNB

[@tawnieriekena7]

No. They played in B-flat major at 42 kilocycles per second. When played back at 50 kilocycles per second it is in G major. Rain was not two songs grafted together either.

[@ricknbacker5626]

@@tawnieriekena7 Good evening. What I said was, it was not a single performance. It was 2 separate and distinct music beds. One for the band's instrumental performance (B flat I fixed my OP, thanks for the heads up) ) and one for John's Lead vocal. Please note, I never said grafted. The tape speed wasn't manipulated out of necessity i.e. A Hard Day's Night and In My Life. It was used for creating a sonic collage. Something beyond a "normal" Beatles record. I wish they played it during the 1966 World Tour. Who have been awesome. Cheers, RNB

[@tawnieriekena7]

@ricknbacker5626 Yes. Track 1 is Ringo on drums, Paul and John on guitars at 42 kps. Track 2 is Paul's bass at 50 kps Tracks 3 and 4 are John's vocal at 42 kps. ( rather than using ADT on the lead vocal, the finished track features 2 separate takes of John's lead, (actual double tracking.) A reduction mix was made , combining tracks 3 and 4 at the slowed down 50 kps. The now empty Track 4 was filled with Ringo on tambourine, and John, Paul, and George on backing vocals treated with ADT ( artificial double tracking) and vari -speed manipulation. So technically, it was composed of five separate performance takes. While Rain was never performed live, its flipside, Paperback Writer was performed on the 1966 Tour.

[@gwilli9511]

Ringo has said his best drumming was on this song. My fav Beatle is Ringo, I started playing drums back in 1965 because of him.

[@yesi2117]

Tomorrow Never Knows. One of the first Psychedelic songs

[@z0n0ph0ne]

I think Rain was one of the first psychedelic songs.

[@GeoffVincent-l3d]

This song is about the concert they played in Melbourne (where I now live) in 1964. The rain was smashing down and Lennon thought the reaction of the buttoned down people of the city was very amusing! Two years of separation and some LSD, and this tune was born!👍

[@johnbyrnes7912]

Whilst Rain is in Rolling Stones list of the best Beatles songs it was not very popular at the time. Tomorrow Never Knows was way more advanced and brilliant but they flinched releasing it just after Rubber Soul but it's generally accepted that it as an A side would have been spectacular and game changing. It is still talked about today as unbelievably ahead of its time ! So may I recommend this for next time guys. Good to see you all back had me worried there ! 😹🌈🤡🎱👁️🌟

[@pattiatkins8440]

My fav has been Paul since day one.💜Even in his 80s, ten years older than me, still my heartthrob. A musical genius and still writing songs and doing concerts. A remarkable human being who supports several worthy causes.

[@PaintedCavern]

One of my all-time favorite songs from my favorite band! ❤❤❤

[@TERRYHROVAT]

Ringo said this was his favorite track to play on.

[@dawnrosecrants8919]

Love Lennon's voice. ❤️ Great song. Thanks guys. 🤩

[@edstein5642]

In 1966-67 the Beatles frequently sped up their vocals to create the effect you mention. They literally increased the tape speed. This song also featured John’s closing vocals played backwards.

[@Play2Win1958]

Psychedelic captures the time and the harmonies of the Beatles are incredible all their tunes and my favorite Paul McCartney !
