Rain, the worlds gratest B-side (1966).

[@lancerx1759]

Ringo is crushing !!! Love this Song !!!

[@dustyrustymusty3577]

My favorite Beatles tune of all time. Ringo's finest drumming.

[@DaBadger354]

Ringo is killing it on the drums and Paul's bass is amazing!

[@PhiliminizzyReacts]

Facts

[@alonenjersey]

For so many years I've closed my eyes whenever this song is heard by me and imagine Ringo on the drums.

[@sagan666]

Ringo regards this as one of his best. This was a B-Side to Paperback writer as far as I know.

[@jeffreythaw3333]

God, I LOVE the Beatles!!!

[@pauld669]

Superb bass by McCartney. One of the best Lennon songs

[@TheBigdawg928]

Also Ringo's best drumming. The Beatles foray into psychedelic music. Incredible to believe this was a B side on a single.

[@horstwinterfeld2965]

Yeah you're right. I love this song ❤

[@MisterRlGHT]

Got to love how far behind the beat John delivers the vocal -- so firm and deliberate, it's almost threatening.

[@1967PONTIACGTO]

in 1966, this song blew my 11 year old mind... nothing like this had ever before come out of my AM radio

[@alonenjersey]

DJs at that time had trouble digging it.

[@65strad]

I was 9

[@alonenjersey]

@@65strad When I first heard this I was 15 and my reaction was basically.......what the frack?

[@daveburns3886]

Ringo had ‘the touch!’

[@DJBilodeau]

Ringo himself said in numerous interviews that he viewed this as his best drumming track with the Beatles. That's saying a lot.

[@elisaabolafia9542]

How about his drumming on TOMORROW NEVER KNOWS ❓🔥❗ Killer drum pattern. Ringo is a steady powerhouse on every song.

[@mrkite89]

@@elisaabolafia9542 She Said She Said is my fav: he makes the drum sing! Interesting that all these songs are from the Revolver era.

[@marcosc11000]

Masterpiece!!

[@DJBilodeau]

"Enigmatic" and "Dreamlike" your opening take. Beautiful! Spot on! We can safely say this about many of lyrics in John Lennon songs.

[@vovindequasahi]

Such a great song! That vibe! Those lyrics!

[@ezed3902]

I forgotten how good this song was. Superb reaction! Thanks.

[@BRGKasumi77Main]

Oh yeah! Rain, recorded on April 14 & 16, 1966 during the Revolver album. Please react Paperback Writer too!!

[@threekidzmom04]

We had such happy music back then!

[@futurereflections4097]

Revolver era Beatles was peak music.

[@nonplusultra-c7g]

for me this is their best song

[@stormhawk3319]

This was how good the Beatles were to have this as just a B-Side

[@timtibbitts1017]

They shoved humanity into a new age with a 3-chord song. That requires a really good 3-chord song.

[@DJBilodeau]

6300 views in the first month...dare I say this track may be one of your highest viewer per month tracks you've done. Congratulations on a beautiful song and memorable reaction!

[@jspieler1357]

Thank you for your perspectives. It's so great to hear someone react to these songs for the first time. Must be fun

[@DJBilodeau]

Yep, right on, Philip! It's the Beatles 3-part harmony. . .nothing else sounds like John, Paul and George singing together like this one. The 3-part harmonies were key to the sonic arrangement of this track.

[@DJBilodeau]

One thing you'll notice in this video is the eye communication between the Beatles as they perform. There's one point where you can see George looking over at and watching John, the both Paul and George together look over at John to take their cues in the song. The Beatles magical band chemistry at work!

[@DJBilodeau]

You nailed it once again Philip! Great reaction and on point lyrical analysis! As usual, I loved it!

[@RandyRanson-d5x]

Beautiful performance, they even tried to make their music sound like a good down pour of rain. Umbrellas anyone!

[@ricknbacker5626]

Excellent dissertation. A very concise and cogent reaction to Rain. A drug induced Tour de Force song from John. At this time Tape Speed Manipulation was becoming more common on Beatles songs. Here the band first played the instrumental track in a higher key (A major) and at a faster tempo. Whilst speeding up the tape machine during the recording of the basic tract. When the tape machines speed was restored to the standard setting (making the song now 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! Meaning "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 P R. I really enjoyed it. RNB

[@DJBilodeau]

So loved you stopping the video and stating "so, John Lennon on the vocals". I really loved your interest-it shines through you!

[@RhettAnderson]

My favorite Beatles song!

[@DJBilodeau]

I may have said it before here, but Ringo points to this song as his best drumming performance, his personal favorite with the Beatles.

[@DJBilodeau]

Philip does the Beatles! Classic program! Stoked for this one!!!

[@DJBilodeau]

Philip, you have to notice Paul McCartney's bass line in this song. Very melodic, and the engineer Geoff Emerick cleverly took a loudspeaker and used it as a microphone for Paul's bass to add "punch" to it. One of the first Beatles tracks with a heavy melodic bass line. Their earlier music the bass wasn't nearly as prominent as this, but all Beatles song after this would all be 'bass heavy", and would become an integral part of their sound.

[@JohnLancaster-b5x]

I love seeing McCartney singing with his chipped teeth from his motor bike accident.

[@spreet65]

I was always wondering about Paul's chipped tooth. It's clearly visible on Paper Back Writer.

[@GratefullyDead]

Just another from mars composition blowing minds

[@daveburns3886]

Some of my fave Beatles tunes are their lesser known jewels that highlight their incredible harmonies - this one and ‘if I fell’ - check out that one!!

[@DJBilodeau]

Superb lyrical analysis at the end! Right on the money; once again you breath new life into this song with your fresh perspective.

[@gailg2327]

Agreed! Thank you so much!

[@PhiliminizzyReacts]

You are so welcome!

[@DJBilodeau]

Now I haven't looked at this program in quite some time, so the slate is wiped clean for me. Will be very interested to see this program again!

[@DJBilodeau]

7K views in 2 months. . .this program is doing quite well!

[@paulobrien4694]

Amazing work by Ringo as well.

[@MeDave1959]

Loved hearing your reaction !!!

[@PhiliminizzyReacts]

Glad you enjoyed!

[@trendydelquendy]

I never heard this - this is the bassline that Ride used for "Seagull"

[@DJBilodeau]

Just had to jump down this delicious rabbit hole one more time!

[@DJBilodeau]

I think I'm going to go on a Philip does the Beatles reaction holiday. You once asked me what brought me to this channel, and I responded to you with two words: The Beatles". So It's time to look again at these classic, amazing programs you've done on the Beatles to date! And what's nice is that you've done enough of these programs that it becomes like a holiday and or festival atmosphere with the duration of entertainment by these programs for me.

[@grahamharley4895]

Haven't heard that for years, thanks.

[@thomasclarke8220]

I have never heard a Beatles tribute band attempt this song. (and I've heard many) That includes the national touring band "Rain"! None of them want to tackle the intricate bass lines and Ringo's fantastic drumming.

[@aviadilo]

Excellent review! You nailed it! This is one of the Beatles' best songs imho.

[@PhiliminizzyReacts]

Thank you for this comment and for watching

[@infolover_68]

Psychedelia was born and Sgt. Peppers' was around the corner; The Beatles became more and more sophisticated!...

[@Linda-y9h]

Great video...have never seen it. Thanks!!! ❤😊

[@polittek]

I'd never seen this video either!

[@RGF19651]

One of the first, if not thee first song to use feedback. Ringo’s beat and drum fils make a strong statement that enhances the dream like feeling of the harmonies. Maybe the first “psychedelic” song. The backwards playback of John’s lead towards the end is another innovation that is the “first” time use in this song.

[@dggydddy59]

The song with the feedback was I Feel Fine, released in November 1964.

[@rickc661]

one of my 3 or 4 fave tunes from their best recording sessions. - the album Revolver

[@DJBilodeau]

Specifically for this channel, this is a very historic program, and key recent development for this channel.

[@VIDSTORAGE]

It was not the first Psychedelic song but the Beatles were the most popular human beings in the world in 66 and they introduced psychedelia to millions of listeners .. 8 Miles High by The Byrds came out before this but was banned from US radio very soon after it came out ...

[@davidrauh8118]

When they did a playback in the studio the tape was put on backwards. John thought it was great and wanted the entire song played backwards. But the others vetoed him except for the reprise at the end which is actually backwards.

[@DJBilodeau]

Also . . . the last vocal verse sung by John Lennon is played backwards in the studio recording of this song. Just in case you were wondering why you couldn't understand what he was singing!

[@johnbumgardner7977]

Love it ❤

[@PeterOConnell-pq6io]

Ringo's drumming. He (and the rest) made it look effortless, and fun. Another coda thrown in at the end for good measure.

[@kevinwaters5872]

John was fusing his use of acid into his lyrics on this one.

[@StanSwan]

They did a lot of tricks with tape speed on this song. The guitar parts were played much faster and were slowed down as was John's vocal giving it this other worldly sound you could never do live. Then the backwards vocals that has never been done before this song. Some say John did it other their producer George Martin did but they are both now passed on so we will never really know. Might be they both had a part in it? Amazing song on really their best album IMO.

[@grahamthompson2594]

John miming the backward tape lyrics at the end.

[@bryter00]

McCartney with his chipped front tooth caused by crashing his moped. He’ll always have a bump on his upper lip after this.

[@stephentierney9266]

Ringo always had so much more freedom with fills on John’s songs. This song is a perfect example.

[@sourisvoleur4854]

"B side" refers not to an album but a single -- a 7" record that plays at 45 rpm and generally has one song on each side. On this single, Paperback Writer was the "A" side (the "main" one on the disk), and the "B" side (also called flip side and b/w) is Rain. Neither of them are on any albums other than compilation albums.

[@barbarjinx3802]

One of their better songs and very much forgotten bc it’s a B side of the single Paperback Writer. This was recorded just before they recorded Revolver and they stopped touring. First song with backwards lyrics. You want to listen to Tomorrow Never Knows from Revolver. You haven’t heard anything like it.

[@PaintedCavern]

❤❤❤

[@neveragainlilhomie]

AND this was the B side.

[@DJBilodeau]

So, Philip, question for you-how do you square the Lennon in this video with the Lennon of "Woman" from Double Fantasy in 1980?

[@ByGum-k3b]

The last line was sung backwards.

[@terenzo50]

Play the flip side of the 45 -- Paperback Writer. If you haven't already.

[@DJBilodeau]

Nice job with this reaction program! You definitely I find to be a quick study with Beatles songs, and this is not necessarily easy to do. John, Paul, and George all have different songwriting styles, but all loved obscure wordplay and teasing the listener to see if they could understand the lyrics. So the meanings in these songs is often not straightforward.

[@DJBilodeau]

A and B sides were well before your time, Philip. This comes in the days of records when, instead of buying an entire expensive album (called "33s"), for less money, you could buy 2 singles for less money (called "45s"). "Paperback Writer" and "Rain" are both singles not originally released on any albums. The Beatles would often do this right up until the end of their recording career as a band.

[@johncheney950]

The last line John sings andvl you can't understand it, they ran the recording backward.

[@spitfirenutspitfirenut4835]

Better than any Swift A side.

[@DJBilodeau]

With all due respect to Taylor Swift. . .and I think she would be the first to agree. . .just not in the same league as the Beatles. No one is!!!

[@manco828]

Agreed, she's not even close to their league.

[@garyfletcher844]

The first or second psychedelic song ever released.

[@MisterWondrous]

When this came out, my bestie and I would pull out the fireplace shovel guitar and a pair of butter knife drumsticks, then put on this 45 single, and play the hell outta both sides. I wound up writing a paperback. A really sucky one. Next one should be bettah. Play Paperback Writer!

[@DJBilodeau]

Some people, in my opinion, unfairly criticize Ringo's drumming, which I find to be absolutely ridiculous. Just listen to this man's drumming on this track!

[@elisaabolafia9542]

Ringo🔥🔥🔥

[@DJBilodeau]

Whenever you run into lyrics written by John, it becomes a bit more challenging to come to understand the meaning behind the lyrics. But, as I see here, Philip, looks like you are about to give it a try!

[@GratefullyDead]

First mtv video

[@jeromedeparis]

In the video we can see that John Lennon is stoned.

[@christinemorgen4441]

❤🎶❤️

[@paulobrien4694]

Paul has a missing front tooth in this vid. Fell off a bike face first a few days before.

[@pete3883]

Too much mush mouth. Couldn't make it to the song.
