The Beatles history - Moog Synthesizer - Abbey Road

[@beatmet2355]

I love the different sounds introduced by the Moog on Abbey Road, but my favorite one is the white noise that builds up at the end of “I Want You…” It sounds like time, space and matter is slowly disintegrating, almost like a nuclear Holocaust.

[@Briansmusic-]

Great video. The fact that The Beatles did not overuse the MOOG is fascinating. Thanks for posting. Looking forward to the next.

Our never ending search for new sounds and sensations is always interesting. Best wishes to all.

[@wolfgangheise8977]

Sorry, the story is not completely told. This MoogIIIp, this Synthesizer, from Abbey Road, was sold to Germany and than used eight Years later on "i feel love" (Summer/Moroder). Now this device is in the German Museum in Munich.

[@TheGuitarShow]

Many thanks

[@fraa888grindr7]

I knew about the invention of the Moog synthesiser, that The Beatles used it in the late 1960s, but I wasn't aware of which album (assumed SPLHCB) they used it on. Thank you very much!

[@TheGuitarShow]

Thanks for watching

[@5150show]

Congrats on 30k subs Ramon ! Your channel is a awesome highlight in difficult year ! Look forward to seeing you more in 21 . Cheers to Bob too !

[@TheGuitarShow]

Thanks so much and good luck on your channel also! Have a great Xmas and let's do a live steam soon!

[@5150show]

Absolutely brilliant

[@TheGuitarShow]

Thanks

[@Johnnybethnalgreen]

I’ll have to watch this when I’m in the moog.

[@TheGuitarShow]

Lol

[@crisslastname9417]

I was just listening to All Things Must Pass today. Such a great album. Have a great Holiday!

[@TheGuitarShow]

You too Criss many thanks indeed

[@andypearce5537]

That particular Moog went to Memphis and ended up on some Big Star recordings.

[@TheGuitarShow]

Thanks Andy for the info

[@gtar5191]

What to Sun studios? Or Stax records? Or private owner.

[@andypearce5537]

gtar5191 Ardent studios in Memphis

[@Rhythmicons]

@@andypearce5537 Wow. I know that the University had a huge modular, but kind of interesting to think there were two in Memphis.

[@andypearce5537]

I am wrong! It was a Melatron! My mistake.

[@engleharddinglefester4285]

That was quite informative and I liked the pics i'd never seen before if them working.

[@DustinBeckMusic]

Super thorough! What a great vid! Thank you!

[@TheGuitarShow]

Glad you enjoyed it Dunstin!

[@mauricedibert2635]

On Electric Sounds there was a bit of a "blowback", some of the burps and farts were real, provided by Harrison and Maurice Gibb. - by the way Maurice Gibb played piano on Is'nt it a pity.

[@robrtsparkman9362]

Hate to be the one to point out that english grammar rules don't apply to Swiss words or names. Moog is pronounced..... M-oh-g. A long O. Great video and all excited to hear about All Things Must Pass.

My entire life I pronounced it MOOG. Only a couple years ago I learned it was actually MOHG. I guess you can teach an old dog new tricks. 😅

[@putzengiler]

you say tomato and I say tomato.....

[@dogguitarbluesman]

@@putzengiler You say potato I say Potato...

[@theogreenly]

Rhymes with vogue

[@Christopher.Marshall]

Wasn't the downward fall on the synth in Here Comes the Sun due to a faulty key on the keyboard?

[@jeremythornton433]

Cool! I;m a synth player and love videos like this.

[@TheGuitarShow]

pleasure

[@samerhaddad280]

I never knew Abbey Rd. was associated with any Moog sounds or Alan Parsons was involved in its engineering, even though I must've listened to that album countless times. I'll be looking for those clues next I listen to it Mr.Goose. Until next time, you're an amazing story teller, thanks again.

[@TheGuitarShow]

Many thanks indeed Sam

[@thomaskafafian2871]

Merry Christmas Goose!

[@TheGuitarShow]

Likewise Thomas same to you

[@ParanormalLight]

For the last time, Robert Moog's last name, is PRONOUNCED the same as "Vogue", NOT the sound a cow makes.!!!

[@CTBroadfoot]

Robert’s own parents pronounced it in the cow form - he only changed the pronunciation because his wife (who was a teacher) complained, but always said that he didn’t care how it was pronounced!

[@Les537]

Nice timing. After 30 years of being mean to guitars I picked up Poly D (minimoog clone) to torture. Every time I turn a knob and hit a key another classic song falls out. Good fun.

[@TheGuitarShow]

Pleasure lol

[@TheOlmecindian]

Great channel, great videos 🇨🇦

[@TheGuitarShow]

Thank you

[@mayfly552]

Super! thanks for this history.

[@darryloatneal5258]

you should make a video about prince and his guitars amps and effects

[@willpayne6249]

The who used Smythearzs on The Album Who's Next Back in 1971 .

[@TheGuitarShow]

Yes I saw some cool photos of them with Moogs. Thanks Will happy xmas

[@konarain]

Townsend played a fairlight, all those repeating tones! Moon is a real keyboard, yeah? Aloha

[@AreHan1991]

Interesting, but I missed example clips to hear how The Beatles used this tech

[@TheGuitarShow]

Ill try to incorporate this in a future video

[@widescreennavel]

So that's a Moog vacuum cleaner we hear famously at the end of She's So Heavy!

[@TheGuitarShow]

Yes!

[@kxmrock]

What songs on Abbey Road

[@beatmet2355]

Maxwell I Want You… Here Comes the Sun Because

[@JohmathanBSwift]

_best holiday wishes to you also_

[@TheGuitarShow]

Thanks you likewise Johnathan

[@putzengiler]

Wonder who the guys are playing with George @ 1:38 ?

[@TheGuitarShow]

Donald Duck Dunn on bass and Jacky Lomax on drums

[@TheGuitarShow]

Or Bob Babitt?

[@TheGuitarShow]

On bass

[@putzengiler]

@@TheGuitarShow It's not Duck Dunn, might be Babitt ....I thought Lomax was a guitar player..

[@elchichosantana6410]

I bought a Moog way back in the 90s and George's Electronic Sound inspired me to create my own Electronic Sound album. So far my own ES album was 10x better than George.

[@TheGuitarShow]

Nice!

[@ClassicTVMan1981X]

The second track, the 25-minute "No Time or Space," was not even written by George himself but rather by his one-time collaborator Bernie Krause, which was merely a demonstration of the Moog III which went down during the making of Jackie Lomax' album. Despite this flap, George included the song as backing underneath (the track fades in and out and in and out during the song) his "I Remember Jeep" song from the third LP of his All Things Must Pass album.

[@sebastianfalk666]

Yeah but how did they record it? Trough speakers or DI ??

[@TheGuitarShow]

Mic through an amp

[@porchestra]

Very informative video on one of my favourite Beatles releases. Incidentally, George Harrison’s Electronic Sounds Album is considered to be A Classic Druggie Record 🥴

[@TheGuitarShow]

That's very cool I listened to some of it and it's 'interesting' definitely some cool sound sounds on it

[@Rhythmicons]

Moog rhymes with Vogue.

[@TheGuitarShow]

Sorry and thanks

[@CTBroadfoot]

@nebula393Bob didn’t care either!

[@playitstrange129]

its pronounced "mowg"- like "vogue" but with an M... ps, you forgot the Big Star/Ardent Studios connection to Harri's Moog, la!

[@tommyfoley]

I think you need to do more first synth research.

[@VodkaSelekta]

The first synthesizer actually flew in from and landed from outer space. Robert Moog didn't actually invent the Moog he just found it on a beach somewhere fully created. Like all good inventors, he just took all of the credit and hoped no one would notice.

[@Rhythmicons]

@@VodkaSelekta It was "...designed specifically for the domination and destruction of worlds. Bob sensing the danger of this weapon harnessed and transformed this alien technology into an instrument of peace and thus, spread joy throughout the planet..."

[@kierenmoore3236]

Pronounced “Mow-g”, not “Moo-g”

[@grahamt33]

You may be right tehnically but to generations of musicians it will always be the Moog

[@johnnyd63]

Robert Moog wouldn't like his last name pronounced as Moog as opposed to Mowg.

[@grahamt33]

@@johnnyd63 Like I said, for better or worse "Moog" has entered the collective conciousness over many years - too late to change it now

[@Rhythmicons]

@@grahamt33 Appealing to popular memory is the dumbest justification to promulgate bad information.

[@grahamt33]

@@Rhythmicons This topic is too trivial to get worked up about - 99% of people say "Moog" and have for decades so it is a done deal whether you like it or not

[@jsaulkane5893]

think you need to do a little more research.. beaver and krause were salesmen for moog.. beaver came to the uk.. and recorded some stuff.. harrison just stole it and released it and pt it on electronic sounds .. I think its one of the sides.. a misleading fan doc.. beaver and krause also made the original of the thx sound and were ripped of again.. here @ 3 mins or so.. kzbin.info/www/bejne/aKmugGaBdtl3kJI

[@konarain]

I used to jam @ Paul Beaver's! In 1970. Michael Gabriel a fantastic guitarist w Echoplex, pedals of all kinds..space music! Paul had an album w him & Hal Blaine (drummer-wrecking crew) I wouldn't be surprised if he played on Abbey Road as he bragged..Aloha
