The Beatles - Sun King-Don't Let Me Down (1969 Rehearsal)

[@stevefaure415]

Very interesting. It''s just a simple jam, a one-line bluesy lyric, but you can hear them start really working it into something special after just a minute. They slow it down, they start to swing it and make it less a blues song. Real musicians at work here.

@@aileen9553 have you sobered up yet and realised that The Beatles are in fact the best music you have ever heard and music before 1940 was truly awful

[@rickjag4928]

@@dondamon4669 Not a fact. Just an opinion. Nothing more.

[@you_tubeslonelyheartsclubband]

@@dondamon4669 bad take. Music before 1940 was awful? Bach, Mozart, Duke Ellington, The Gershwin brothers, Louis Armstrong, Robert Johnson. I'm not saying the Beatles are awful either! They're my favorite band! But that's a very bad take.

[@bugs64]

This is some of the best George Harrison improv as a lead guitarist. Sounds absolutely killer here all while singing harmony and nailing it. So much harder than given credit for

[@quicksite]

Please, just for God's sake please, do not dare utter the words "He's so underrated" like an internet asshole. That is all I needed to say.

[@haydensoltvedt180]

George is the beeeest. He sounds so good in this

Chemistry is what makes bands. Their chemistry was great!

Ringo always kept the whole project rolling...

Ringo is a Cancer, he's the mother of the group

[@joanschooley5160]

Really cool. Rambling feel. Interesting how songs can go different directions.

[@dondamon4669]

One of the hardest bits in songwriting deciding how to arrange it

[@justiceforall6412]

I kept waiting for Sun King but it never came. Still a really good post. The way Rings effortlessly shifts from 4/4 to the shuffle at the drop of a hat is awesome.

[@Joseph-xg9sm]

Know this is a late reply but listen to the guitars in the first like 20 seconds, it sounds like Sun King, especially one lick which is actually in Sun King

[@myguitardetective5961]

I'm guessing the "Sun King" title reference is the E6 guitar chord played by John at the very end of this video @ the 4:42 cue. He could have just as plausibly referenced "The Ballad Of John and Yoko" in the video title (since that's the last chord of that song ....). Ah well.....

This seems to be a very rare case of actually hearing a great song forming in real time.

[@ああ隅田川]

John voice is really good!

[@stevenperagine7377]

Maybe by the light of the silvery moon with Josephine in his flying machine. BUT ~ On any given Wednesday John Lennon clearly had the the better singing voice, and I dare say possibly the best popular voice of all time. Now, granted, he was no Caruso or Andrea Bocelli. But, neither were they BEATLES.

It was hard to determine what's on there, with no track listing and bad, BAD sound. I don't even bother playing it anymore - once was aggravating enough.

[@robintownrobintown]

@@farrellmcnulty909 Bad sound due to incompetent mastering or simply the source material?

[@farrellmcnulty909]

@@robintownrobintown Good question. I would think it was the source material.

[@robintownrobintown]

@@farrellmcnulty909 Makes sense; I have a feeling that it'll be rectified with the new box set because if they can do release-worthy mono-to-stereo demixing like Paul and Giles have been talking about, I would think that music technology in general has improved so much in the last 20 years that, as I said, they can fix issues you have with the sound.

`Not much "Sun King" is there?

You gotta listen closely to the chords John plays, it’s the same chords he uses for Sun King, even some which Dont let me down doesnt use once its finally finished

[@robertdurst9089]

A lot of the same chord structure, just set to don’t let me down
