The Beatles - A Day In The Life | Reaction

[@davewilson435]

The greatest band ever. The progression of their music over 7 years is beyond compare. No one comes close.

[@BrendanBrown1]

Oh my god yes, exactly. There are so many bands that did the the same genre of music and never broke out and experimented with different types of music. The Beatles from Rubber Soul onward were always doing different stuff.

[@berniehoe9960]

mntlPurple Pet sounds is phenomenal but that was the beach boy's Apex, after that they never reached that level of greatness again, while the beatles only continued to get more and more innovative with each record. it really does suck that Smile wasnt released until much later, if it were it would've shocked the music world completely since it was so ahead of it's time.

[@junker154]

I think Bowie comes close for me

[@joannparker1977]

It’s mind-blowing

[@kentclark6420]

This is a masterpiece that you need to not only listen to, but FEEL, to get the full effect. To really feel, you need to stop your thoughts and let your soul absorb the true essence and British historical vibrations that are embedded within.

[@586bomin]

I lot of people don't understand the complexity of Beatles songs in the lyric sense and instrumental as well. Their songs are poems with deep meaning behind, it takes an educated mind to comprehend

[@sannimcable]

a day in the life is a masterpiece

[@stephaniekoosmann4042]

I love the Beatles! One of my favorite songs by them!

[@mokrodog]

It was released in 67. White album was 1968

[@personalcheeses8073]

You know it’s not actually called the White Album. It’s just called The Beatles

[@alonsoquirosgranados7568]

Great reaction bros, just saying A Day In The Life is considered as one the greatest song of the history, the most innovate, complicated and influent of The Beatles and their masterpiece

[@malcster2]

one of lennon's masterpieces

[@ArniePorter]

Love the fact that you’re reacting to The Beatles. This and other music from this era should be listened to without watching a video. The music from the 60’s and 70’s did not have videos associated with them. To me they can be unnecessary distractions from fully appreciating the sound. Just a suggestion. Cheers

[@robertrodes1546]

Except "I Am the Walrus." :)

[@escorpioomega2111]

a few videos: Hey Jude Revolution Hello goodbye Strawberry fields forever Rain Paperback writer We can work it out

[@Bertie22222]

For the bloke on the left it's like casting pearls before swine

[@robertrouse4503]

June 2, 1967 in the US. May 26th in the UK.

[@forthechicana3815]

React to happiness is a warm gun, it’s one of my favorite songs

[@zep68cd]

Released in 1967, sink into that!

[@personalcheeses8073]

It’s crazy. Crazier still is, I heard it then. I was very small but my mind was blown. And it still is

[@LKimuraC]

Guy on the right is spot on, guy on the left is clueless

[@robertrodes1546]

Definitely a song you need to listen to several times. Especially those two cacophonous sections.

[@joannparker1977]

George Harrison as well, is my favorite Beatle. “All things Must Pass”, his solo debut album is a masterpiece.

[@johnreilly9424]

It was voted the number one Beatles song of all time... Yesterday was number 2. I definitely agree..

[@personalcheeses8073]

The Beatles classic rock? They are just in a league all of their own!

[@michaelcardarelli6358]

The Beatles Then everyone else

[@gidion4004]

Masterpiece! Thanks boys!

[@johnchrysostomon6284]

It's the best Beatles song. Ringo's innovative drum patterns, Lennon's haunting voice, the orchestra, piano crescendo, McCartney's glib middle bit, roadie Mal Evans counting... wonderful song

[@fredfredrickson5436]

When I first heard this song in '88 on the Blue Album it completely blew my mind, I remember replacing the needle on the record to play the track again and again with my hand shaking with excitement. I must have listened to it about a dozen times and was late for wherever I was supposed to be when. Eleven out of ten (Ray is a tone deaf philistine.)

[@johnandrews3151]

This song was not released in the USA as a single but that didn't stop it from getting massive AirPlay. John Lennon actually took the lyrics from a London newspaper! Meant to be played LOUD! By the way, you clipped the most iconic ending chord in music history. Try the songs called Savoy Truffle and Everybody's Got Something To Hide Except For Me And My Monkey.

[@johndowney8774]

This wasn't a hit single but it was the climactic final song on one of the most creative and innovative albums ever recorded. It needs to be listened to in that context. The guy on the right is sharp and aware. The guy in the left is hopeless. And get the volume right. We need to hear it and you should hear the songs in a good presentation sonically speaking.

[@dannygriffith6185]

Guy on the left is clueless....Meh to him.

[@brodyreyes3235]

Be nice 😑

[@damedusa5107]

Just his opinion

[@experi-mentalproductions5358]

@@damedusa5107 Yeah, but his opinion is stupid..

[@personalcheeses8073]

He does not know what time of day it is.

[@thomastallis8819]

First: i love your enthusiasm for fantastic music (no matter when it was created; as you all know, great art transcends time.) Second: this video background that appears during The Day in the Life is only tangentially related to the music. It's incongruous and only serves as a distraction to this great song. nearly always, videos set to music, post facto, detract from the musical enjoyment. When the video documents the musicians actually performing what is being listened to, then the video serves the music and can enhance the whole experience. Watch -- and listen -- to Snarky Puppy, live in the studio: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gpC7e5Kpaq6mh8U (this is music for people who love music!)

[@arnoldmojados399]

Beatles Goat

[@Jovolution]

You see Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Brian Jones, The Monkees and many more other Music stars in this video.

[@lilianelucas8123]

And Donovan

[@nicolascarey6330]

You could try some Kinks: Waterloo Sunset or Come Dancing are my favourites, but most Ray Davies songs tell a story. I don't know what your mate likes, but Hey Jude or In My Life may impress him more than A Day In The Life. Personally, I am still as impressed today a I was in 1967

[@bradgrauer9148]

Major clues in this song to the death of Paul McCartney saying House of Paul instead of House of Lords which is what the lyrics say on the album itself

[@johnchrysostomon6284]

1967. It was the first track they taped of the Sgt. Pepper tracks

[@davidparris7167]

I can understand the guy on the left not appreciating The Beatles. Back in the day in 1967 when this track came out I was 21 years old and if someone had played me a track from 1914 I too would find it hard to be positive.The trouble with experience you have to spend many precious years getting it.Don't waste any of that time.

[@JohnWesleyDowney]

The volume on the song was very low on my computer. And I've always felt this v ideo was a distraction from the landscape of the song. The video isn't relevant to the lyrics, it was just a promotional video from footage shot at the recording session. Still, in my opinion one of the greatest and most innovative Beatles masterpieces.

[@sirslice]

You did indeed "end it". The last note went on, and on, and on....

[@jr8870]

Need to react to The Moody Blues... Pioneers of Progressive/Orchestral Rock... English contemporaries of The Beatles who toured with them in the early 60s... Check Wikipedia for more detail...

[@DenCon143]

Chris gets it. Ray, I suspect he's so used to today's music sound. Sure the Beales may sound so trite and maybe naive even by comparison. One has to try to throw out all those heavy compressed sounds with subwoofer of today's music and try to think back to a simpler time when radio play was only 3 minutes. And, then the Beatles come out with this among their full catalog. Hit? It was listened too a lot for being so different than anything else or ever being written and played.

[@andyfee2664]

Listen to don’t let me down guys

[@keith1222]

Correction. This was made in1967

[@bradgrauer9148]

Sergeant Pepper's made almost entirely with production everything else from the new Paul McCartney Billy Shepherd whose name is also Billy pepper from Billy pepper in the pepper pots hence Sergeant pepper

[@papercup2517]

Bill Shepherd, who did the Pepperpots novelty records, was a music executive who worked mainly for the BeeGees. (Look him up in any music industry register, if you're in doubt.) He died in the 1980s and his family are pretty p----d off at all the conspiracy theorists who still make up or spread around these stupid beliefs about their Dad. He did look vaguely like Paul when he was younger, which was apparently enough to start the rumour/belief. Of course there are as many versions of the PID conspiracy theory as there are believers, because everyone just embellishes and alters it to suit themselves. It has no basis, as far as I've been able to ascertain, in truth.

[@dggydddy59]

Who is that kid on the left, and why would you play an album track to someone who clearly has no ear or appreciation for revolutionary music from decades ago. There were no "hits" off of Sgt. Pepper, there were no singles released from the album. The first two songs they recorded for it were Penny Lane and Strawberry Fields Forever and they put that out as a single. The Beatles didn't put out singles off of their albums, they put out singles but they weren't on the albums. With only one or two exceptions. They considered putting the same song on an album that people had already bought as a single was cheating their audience. They were revolutionary in every way, they changed music, fashion, popular culture, the world, everything. Oh, and men's hairstyles in a big big way. They evolved and the world evolved with them.

[@porflepopnecker4376]

I like foppo greff meeps.

[@danielrincon7836]

My recommendation to Ray , to show their diversity , Eleanor Rigby. I was disappointed to his reaction but to each their own. I do agree that he may not be exposed to the catalog of the Beatles as the other reviewer obviously has been. This is not a bash to ray but a show of ignorance or personal tastes. What ever it is, I do respect him for his opinion. It may be opposed to mine , but that is the way it is.

[@barriehull7076]

George Harrison. All Things Must Pass Album a must. 3 LP set that I bought when it came out 27 November 1970 and 2 Cd set January 2001. Produced by Harrison and Phil Spector. Ray is only young doesn't know any better. Sgt Peppers came out when I was still at school and 50 yrs later I bought the 50th anniversary 2 CD, likewise I waited for the white album's 2009 remaster which I bought in 2019 and waited another 2 weeks to listen to it, never had the LP. Saw a hard days night at the cinema whenever that was. Looking forward to ZEP. FYI the group dropped the 'a' in lead at the suggestion of their manager, Peter Grant, so that those unfamiliar with the term would not pronounce it "leed". The word "balloon" was replaced by "zeppelin"

[@stephaniekoosmann4042]

Would love to know what you think of Breaking Benjamin. Maybe Breath, I Will Not Bow, or the Diary of Jane.

[@HehehemynamesTom]

Lmao havent heard Breaking Benjamin since like 2006 😂😂 throw back

[@sannimcable]

ok i will join

[@backbeat44]

"i don't buy into the hype" Really, you think a band that disbanded over a half a century ago are only recognized because of hype? That's pretty amazing hype in my opinion to last half a century - wow - "I respect them for what they've done but they're AVERAGE" ?? seriously average?? I respect the fact that there are people who don't like Beethoven for example, but i'd lose respect if they called Beethoven's music hype.

[@johnandrews3151]

The volume for the video you two are reviewing is so low, it almost isn't worth watching you react. Please, the Beatles should be heard more loudly than your own speaking voices. If your video sound was as loud as you channel intros and outros, it would be great. New subscriber, for now.

[@Samuelon552]

React to tomorrow never knows

[@despinakollas]

For you experts. Did you notice that ringo doesn’t have a drum beat? But instead he’s EMPHASIZING the words that John is singing. This is why in NYC college music classes they teach this album. BYE

[@jasontaverner391]

@Despina Kollas For all those that disparage Ringo's drumming, they need to pay attention to this song. His delicate fills absolutely hold this song together.

[@carl_anderson9315]

This is probably the most important rock song in history and the kid is not impressed at all. He looks kinda bored. But he’s a kid. So I get it, I guess. I used to be like that but when I got 18 I became quickly annoyed and bored by modern pop.

[@johnchrysostomon6284]

1967, not 1968

[@petergriffin5637]

Your music audio is really quiet man probably worth investing in a better microphone setup. Nice reaction though

[@danmore7587]

1967

[@michaelcardarelli6358]

The Beatles are AVERAGE!!!!!!!!!?????? WOW The kid on the left has no idea what he is talking about. If you don’t like the Beatles say it and stop there. Don’t fake praise them. I lived through Beatlemania It was Awesome! 100 years from now they will still be one of the top selling artists. Not the crap that is put out now.

[@ptolemyauletesxii8642]

A little quiet, isn't it?

[@christinerobinson9372]

Dump that dude.

[@chrishickey7502]

Not everyone likes the Beatles. What music do you consider great? React to your favorite.

[@jasontaverner391]

@Chris Hickey It's not really a question of whether one "likes" the Beatles. Their innovations, fills, progressions, and musical constructs are still being used everywhere in today's music. That's why the film "Yesterday" was ridiculous. They, for all intents and purposes, never broke up.
