The Beatles - All You Need Is Love (REACTION)

[@FairHaven-h8s]

Groundbreaking song: June 25th 1967, The Beatles performed “All You Need Is Love” live, via satellite, to 400 million viewers in 25 countries. Captured at EMI Studios, the performance was part of the groundbreaking Our World TV production, which marked the first multinational production broadcast via multiple satellites.

[@doriwiljt]

Yeah. You guys should check out that video

[@nazfrde]

The basic tracks were recorded in the studio, and they mimed playing along with it on the TV thing, doing the vocals, bass, strings and guitar solo live.

[@Annie-hd3jx]

Yep, this was the first satellite link up around the world, the boys were chosen to represent us and wrote this especially for this historic moment!!!

[@kentzepick4169]

I was 6. I remember that.

[@glass2467]

​@@nazfrde Not actually true. They did do a backing track, however they were also performing live for the satellite broadcast as well. This is backed up by some facts, and you can find them too with the bit of research.

[@michaelzzzzzzzzzzzz]

Even when the Beatles are just doing a thing, it's the best thing

44 years ago yesterday, 12/8/1980, John Lennon was murdered in NYC. I will never forget that! The world lost a good one....😢

I won't forget it either.

[@stuBdoc]

This was the time of the very long outro. This is such a classic, but most reactors miss it. The weird time signature, the strings, etc, make it really interesting, but the melody of the verses and the chorus are very catchy indeed. When you hear "She Loves You" in the outro, you realize how far the Beatles traveled musically in just over 3 years.

[@Chatta-Ortega]

It's almost like they're mocking their early music.

[@ricardo_miguel13]

@@Chatta-Ortega I think th end is a hommage to the early love songs as this is the love anthem, although love on a higher level.

[@stevecass19]

Imagine getting your chance to speak to the world. The Beatles did and their message was love. Beautiful

[@robinfoster7597]

Man, you've got to find the footage of this - it was the World's first live TV link up, via satelite. That track was laid down live, including the orchestra! Imagine laying down a track in front of an audience of 400 million people! That's balsy!

[@kentzepick4169]

@@robinfoster7597 Saw it and loved it.

[@jerrypost9651]

The first six songs were all recorded for their original, self-produced, hour-long television special, "Magical Mystery Tour." Side two is just a collection of singles they released at around the same time.

[@mikecaetano]

Groovy! "All You Need Is Love" opens with "La Marseillaise" and finishes with "In the Mood" and "She Loves You" and more.

[@glenndespres5317]

Yesterday….

“She loves you yeah yeah yeah…”

[@KekeElBecko]

A very underrated album

[@Friend_Of_The_Muse]

I think the album got a bad rap because the TV movie it was based on failed.

[@Chatta-Ortega]

My favorite Beatles album.

[@thomasmcgivney4519]

If you needed anymore proof in 1967 who the best band in the world was this made the point. They had contemporaries but never any competition.

[@AbigailJrney-1]

The Beatles are the GREATEST band ever. Thank you, thank you mom and dad for introducing them to me! The Beatles 4Ever! Also, Yes. Love Is All You Need!!❤❤❤

[@nicolediamond93]

[@rbrault1]

Imagine being at the beach summer of '67...every transistor radio independently tuned to the hit AM station and this song playing on every one of them at the same time.

[@KennyCamaro2364]

The Wonder of this band is unmatched Laa and Chee.

[@stephanieo2509]

Because it was a live broadcast broadcast all around the world, they wanted to present a positive message and they absolutely succeeded.

[@steven.6227]

It was only number 1 for 11 weeks!

@@steven.6227 Didn’t know that but not surprised.

[@leannlaplante3643]

The song says it all.

[@allmightygraves1814]

5:39 What got me the most about this album is that several of the songs included in it were written during Sergeant Pepper, most notably Strawberry Fields and Penny Lane! I believe they were released as singles just before the album’s release and were just thrown on this album. In my opinion this album is pretty underrated… if I were to guess why many people wanted to skip it was because of the movie that came out with all the songs on the album. The album did pretty well but the movie became known for being The Beatles first big flop. But still, just imagine two of the weaker songs on Sergeant Pepper and replace them with Strawberry Fields and Penny Lane. Sergeant Pepper is still known as one of the best albums ever made but imagine how crazy it would have been with those to songs!

[@tedmohr6353]

Remember seeing this live on TV. I am still amazed how they pulled it off. You are right that only the Beatles could have done this. In the crowd listening was Mick Jagger and Keith Richard's singing along. Great memories for a 7th grader and his buddies singing it to school

[@rbking9296]

Can’t wait for y’all‘s reaction to the white album this is one of my favorites you’ll see the Beatles yet again evolve this one’s gonna take you all over the place and from a listening to a production standpoint you’re gonna really love this one and as always great job guys!

[@harrythunborg2057]

This is my all time favorite song! when ever life gets tough I remind myself that there's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be.

This is just such a beautiful song by John... was of his mellower songs. 😎

[@thomasmcgivney4519]

The Sax at the end is "In the Mood".

[@DavidJacobsvo]

I think if there is any one song that exemplifies what the Beatles are, it’s this one. And it’s every bit relevant today as it was so many years ago when they wrote it. Which is why it’s an absolute classic.

[@jango3014]

It will be relevant forevor!

One of the Beatles’ transcendent talents was taking musical phrases that in other hands would be trite (this song; “Here Comes The Sun”) and making them magical.

Awwww. Love. ❤❤❤

[@davidrauh8118]

The first side of the album was a double EP in England. Capitol Records in the U.S. made it into an album by filling side two with hits from the same time period. Best thing Capitol ever did.

Gotta love the Beatles!

[@stevedahlberg8680]

Wow, that's so cool that you got that big band reference at the end, I forget which one that is as well, but I'm positive I played it on the trumpet before back when I was in jazz band in high school. What a great little thing to throw in there and it repeated a number of times in one form or another.

[@JamieBuckingham369]

When I see these two faces pop up in my reco's - you know it's going to be a good time! "this is a Beatles song" - YES! hahaha - it is! This song, first ever ANTHEM song in modern music, first ever satellite broadcast ever! The Beatles (wrote this song, shaped it, rehearsed it, recorded it, within days, hours, including the score), they didn't have weeks, months to prepare - AND - it's coming off the heals of Pepper. Imagine that pressure, your musical career is peaking, and now you have to create a song that meets their "peek" expectations, and present it to the world, over 400 millions viewers. The Beatles hit back to back Grand Slams (not HR's) with Pepper and All You Need is Love.

[@chrisgrey9616]

Yup...that truly was ( and is) the Hippie Anthem...ushered in the Summer of Love 1967....Oh yeah!.

[@PaulSongas]

White Album next…. Dear Prudence is going to blow you away.

[@scottrussell5006]

I agree about Dear Prudence. And there are other great songs on the white album too. But I honestly think that should have been a single disk album. Because there are a LOT of filler songs on it.

[@grahamharley4895]

Why the hell do their simple songs sound SO good? Somebody tell me?

[@sammcbride2149]

Back then it was all about love because there was so much hate floating around. The Beatles saw the hate and said: "All you need is love."

[@randyallaben9900]

The White Album. Gentlemen, strap on your 5 point harness and hold tight!

[@gpxo11]

great catch-at the end there were a number of big band tunes(In the Mood, Take the A Train and the French anthem Marseille at the beginning playing in the background and of course the she Loves You refrain.

[@Kuesel68]

Originally it was 2 EPs from December 67 with the 6 songs of the movie soundtrack (in different order than on the LP) plus the singles: Hello Goodbye from Nov 67 (B Side was the soundtrack song I Am the Walrus), All You Need Is Love with Baby You're a Rich Man on the B side from July 67, and the pre-Sgt Pepper double A side single Penny Lane/Strawberry Fields which was recorded already in late 66. It is actually a trip back in time for one year with the newest recordings at the beginning and the oldest at the end of the record. That means that the album consisted of songs written and recodered during one year - the year that they also recorded the whole Sgt. Pepper album. 1968 would become an even busyier year in writing and recording for the double White Album plus the Lady Madonna and Hey Jude singles. The Yellow Submarine soundtrack songs released in January 69 on the other hand consisted of songs written and recorded in 66 and 67 except from Hey Bulldog which was the only contemporary song.

[@ericwilliams1031]

The UK version is an EP with songs from the movie. This is The US version with extra songs added.

[@DavidF-y4t]

The UK re-release in the early 80s also had the extra tracks.

[@ericwilliams1031]

@DavidF-y4t I was referring to the original release.

[@thereunionparty]

This wasn't really an official Beatles album - to begin with. In the UK the soundtrack to the MMT movie was released as an EP (extended play). But in the US Capitol Records decided to add in various singles and B sides to make a full LP (long play album). It was only in 1987 that this reconfigured version was added to the canon of official Beatles releases.

[@damonhines8187]

Wrecks and pieces me back together without fail every damn time. The broadcast video is a must see. Thanks for sharing another great great song and reaction, my brothers. 🖖🏼🥹🎶❤️🍁❤️✨️🕊

[@briancastle4941]

You will love the White Album, it’s very different but really fun and cool…

[@quarkwrok]

Everything on the album except Strawberry Fields/Penny Lane (non-album Sgt Pepper) was recorded following on from the Pepper sessions for the Magical Mystery Tour project. All Together Now and It's All Too Much from the Yellow Submarine ST album are from the same sessions. That album contains Only A Northern Song from Pepper but finished during Magical Mystery and Hey Bulldog recorded during the Lady Madonna Sessions Feb 68. Lady Madonna/The Inner Light single and Accross The Universe (re-recorded for Let It Be) were also Feb 68.Those tracks would be great to do first.

[@KekeElBecko]

Yes! After getting your head around all of those albums recorded in just a few years, including a double album, you're reminded of all the singles compiled into Past Masters 1 and 2. The Beatles were a song making machine!

[@tonyherrera2570]

I was nine years old when this song hit in the Summer of Love, 1967… My god, every time you changed the radio station, this song was playing. I’m so thankful for my older siblings who were 13 and 16 at the time. They introduced me to some amazing 60’s music and paved the way for music of my teen years, the great 1970’s!!

[@kathiek4239]

First of all, as always, I love you guys. Second of all, my tie-dye-wearing hippie sister, who happens to be the #1 Beatles fan, really wants you to watch the video for this song. If you think it *sounds* like a hippie anthem, you need to see the video. Third of all, I love watching reaction videos and my sister (the aforementioned hippie) hates them. Except for you guys. She loves you. 🫶🤘

[@txrojas]

If you listen closely to the outro you can also hear Paul say “Yesterday”.

[@gregcable3250]

The theme is that it is a "magical mystery tour". Nothing deep. Great description of this song as a "Hippie Anthem". Very much a John Lennon thing, but when you get to the White Album, you will see a lot of different dimensions to all of them.

[@mojorider8455]

Love the musical allusions at the end, Glenn Miller big band sax intro of "In the Mood", snippets of them doing "She Loves You" and "Yesterday". But the message of the song, the lyrics and sentiment in it is very much 1960ish---full of hope and idealism that love really IS the answer. And they're right!

[@daddyboy3546]

Don’t forget the intro- La Marseillaise or the French National Anthem which kicks off the whole thing. 2 weeks before the performance Brian Epstein reminded them they had a contract to perform a song live to the world. 4 days later John Lennon brought in this.
