THE BEATLES | OUR FIRST TIME COUPLE REACTION to - A Day in the Life |

[@TheCornishCockney]

Imagine how this affected us in the 60's!! World changing. Game changing. Life changing. A phenomenon.

[@gmb858]

I look at 3 different stages of the Beatles 1. The Ed Sullivan Show "switched on" the world from a dismal gray show in near universal images in black and white, to the colorful world of Swinging London and the beginning of color programming on media and theaters- all coincided in 1964-65. JFK was assassinated 80 days prior to the Ed Sullivan Show. It was a cold and bleak, depressive winter. The Beatles gave the world a reason to smile again. 2. Sgt Pepper changed the world from technicolor to surreal colors and shapes. Lennon hinted at it on Revolver's "Tomorrow Never Knows," and "Strawberry Fields Forever." The swirling "cylinders of sound" on "Day in the Life" were the cannons that launched psychedelia to the masses worldwide.

[@carefulcarpenter]

Context is so important. Remember--- this was the Age of Innocence disrupted by assasinations, forced military service during undeclared wartime, and psychedelics. The reaction was the "Love Generation" now depicted as the cause of all troubles for the younger generations. "For thousand holes in Blackburn, Lancashire..."

It amazes me that anyone could forget about listening to the Beatles!!! I have been a fan of theirs since December of 1963 at the age of nearly 17, and have NEVER EVER taken a hiatus from them. Their music is the soundtrack of my life. I envy people who can listen on headphones and experiencing the sounds traveling from one side to another. I have NO idea what that sounds like, as I lost my hearing in my left ear due to the measles when I was 8 years old (there were no vaccines for the measles, mumps and chicken pox in those days, and I had them all).

[@cuebj]

I was slightly too young to appreciate them beyond hearing them. Then pub rock, glam, and punk was my thing and I was too cool for school regarding 1960s. Only really woke up to Beatles age 44 in 1999 when 12-year old daughter heard my CD of Pepper. Tbf, I did have that dreadful 'A Collection of Beatles Oldies but Goldies' - the engineering and pressing was a disgrace but I didn't know that at the time

[@mimig3904]

Beatles made concept albums which should be listened at one sitting. You should do side 2 of Abbey Road without stopping. How it was meant to be heard

[@tommathews3964]

Totally agree!

[@ericlesher5962]

I think listening to one tune is cool, but you do get the real deal by hearing the full symphony.

[@cuebj]

They didn't. Pepper was the only LP that began with a concept but the concept got mostly dropped. Abbey Road remains a monument to their genius which took a bunch of unfinished doodlings and created a masterpiece in its own right. The Who and Kinks had already conceived collections of songs that followed a theme with Village Green Preservation Society and Tommy being whole concept LPs

[@davidbarker77]

The discordant piece in the middle and at the end was achieved when producer George Martin gave the orchestra a key signature and the number of bars and told them to play whatever they liked. The final piano note was achieved by 12 (I believe) pianists on grands simultaneously hitting the same note with the sustain pedal on. Incredible production for its time. BTW, you're right about headphones; it brings out so much more. For me, headphones help me better understand why Ringo was considered a great drummer, and why so many drummers credit him as an inspiration.

[@debrabrabenec3731]

And as the final note decays, the engineer turns up the recording knob to catch every last second of sound!

[@pestbsn]

Actually, according to an interview with George Martin it was Paul who suggested that he wanted the orchestra to start with their lowest keys and work their way up to the highest notes. George said the orchestra just looked confused so he had to write the score for them. But they were just following Paul's instructions

[@cuebj]

Bad luck. Paul McCartney had already made Temporary Secretary and Rolling Stones made some great disco style tracks. Disco was wonderful for getting people dancing and full of joy together. Punk was thrilling for a few years. Glam was great - T Rex, Bowie, Mott the Hoople. Pure pop was good too - Carpenters, Abba, Elton John. Listen to the prog heroes bewail their audiences being almost all guys of a certain age and personality type. And a lot of rock had lost the ability to roll and degenerated into thrusting groin screeching. And I did have LPs by Emerson, Lake, and Palmer, Yes, Caravan, plus Matching Mole, Stomu Yamash'ta, Gong, John Cale, Captain Beefheart

In August 2023 I flew over to the UK and took a week long class at Oxford University on the Beatles. There was only 12 of us in the class, it was great. The instructor was a musician and producer. I do not play an instrument but what I got out of it was they literally blew up the music world with things like chord progressions among other things etc...that were never done before and they made it work beautifully. I think this is their greatest work and it is one of my top five songs off all time...

[@-R.Gray-]

Fun fact - The father of actor David McCallum ( The Man From Uncle, NCIS ), was one of the session string players on this song. It was he who on another recording session suggested to Jimmy Page that he try a violin bow on his guitar("Dazed And Confused"). Another interesting Beatles song from a recording standpoint is "Tomorrow Never Knows " from Revolver. There are a couple of short Y.Tube videos describing how they manipulated multiple tape loops of found sounds during mixdown.

I loved my mother, baseball and the Beatles, and the order changed over time. We listened to the Mono recordings on tiny boxy players and on the AM Channels of the radio, and yet, the magic of the music was there. To say that I was five years old when they first appeared on the Ed Sullivan Show in 63 seems surreal to me, because how does a child understand such a thing, and become entranced? SO, I lived through the transitions of each new album, of each new year; the changing fashion and sound, and the experimentation. I grew some, from 5 years old to 10. I was with my older sister at a strangers home, while she babysat their infant, and for the first time I listened to the Beatles albums on a great stereo system. I lay on the shag carpet floor with headphones listening to this song (and many others) over and over. So, watching the two of you listening, now as adults, seems surreal to me, too, because I was just a child. But I loved the Beatles. I knew what love felt like. I didn't understand what they said, really. It was a puzzle that delighted me. I was so fortunate.We all are.

Guys, much respect to Sgt Pepper, absolutely revolutionary in '67, but if you like this you will probably REALLY like about half of the White Album and every song on Abbey Road. Side One of Abbey Road, straight through, then Side Two. Or just start with Come Together. if you liked that Wurm Outro of Yes Starship Troopers, it's basically their salute to the heavy-duty Beatles outros (or 'vamps'), esp Hey Jude and (much less well known now) I Want You /She's So Heavy. All of the prog bands were pretty much launched by White Album plus Abbey Road.

Rubber Soul, Revolver, and Sargent Pepper, along with the Rolling Stones, completely changed the musical landscape of America. They moved rock and roll from light pop to more and more serious musical forms that didn't exist before them, exept in folk, blues, and jazz. The beatles integrated folk music into their music because of Lonny Donegan who started a dance craze in the UK that mixed jazz and folk called skiffle. The Stones were into American black blues music, which they reiterprated into their own rock, These, as well as the growing exceptance, because of Motown, of black soul music changed the musical landscape. I also think in todays instant media access era of youtube and other social media, you can't understand how important this music was to the people who were listening. The impact on people like me, was huge in shaping how we saw the world. Try a song like "Tomorrow Never Knows" which even now would be considered unusual, was incredably radical for it's time.

Me encanta esa canción, y sobre todo ese álbum, la batería de Ringo es muy adelantada a la época, simplemente hermosa, saludos!

Johns voice is haunting on this. Beautiful.

Yet another great reaction from you both, to an absolutely awesome Beatles track, (my favourite for sure), and arguably one of the first progressive songs? I would have only been about 10 when this came out, but it made a huge impact on me. Nothing else like it being played on radio or TV. The Beatles had sparked my lifelong interest in music without a doubt. As many will say here, and has been said by many over years, the Beatles were a game changer in popular music, and their influence continues to be felt. Keep up the great reactions guys, with more Beatles for sure... Cheers Bob...

On the EMI vinyl version of this song there is a 15kh dog whistle at the end of the tune just after the long piano chord ends...Used to drive my Boston terrier to distraction...

Well you picked the right song now didn't you ....where would we be without the Beatles !

[@blitztim6416]

We used to crank the volume up as the piano faded at the end. You could hear a piano bench squeak and footsteps as someone walked away.

Oh this takes me way back. Sgt. Pepper is a great album, lots of different types of music. Have been a fan of the Beatles for more than 50 years now. In fact back in the mid sixties I had a number of old A&M 45s of thiers. All the hits "I Want to Hold Your Hand", "She Loves You", "Love Me Do", "All My Loving".
