The Beatles "The Fool On The Hill" & "All You Need Is Love" (First Time Reaction)

This was the winner of our poll last week on the "Strawberry Fields Forever" video and I added "All You Need Is Love" just to round it out with a Paul/John track video and it worked out swimmingly. These guys were just on another level with this album/show. This is so far removed from their early stuff... the wide range of instruments used, the psychedelia goofiness, the absolutely golden wisdom that they hide in their lyrics.... it's just so good. I run this race every damn week and I still leave wanting to run another one each time.

"Not Guilty" from Anthology 3. A George track, which should have been on the White Album but was unaccountably left off in favour of the likes of Revolution 9 or Honey Pie. (Not the version that George put on his 1979 album George Harrison which is rather weak by comparison).

[@daletwin1]

I have always been amazed at how Paul can say things well with very few words and still paint a very clear picture. Yesterday and Elenor Rigby are classic examples of what I am talking about. I KNOW that takes talent to say so much with few words instead of an overabundance of words. That has always been one of the reasons I love Beatles' music. They could their message over in the simplest way. Simplicity is beautiful and hard to do well.

[@Rkw772]

@ Penny Lane’s imagery is amazing I am on the top tier of the bus I hear the sounds, and feel the breeze. I see the banker, the barbershop, the fireman and the nurse perhaps Paul’s mom selling poppy’s from a tray. For No One for anyone who has lost love. He knows how to sing it and that dead stop ending says it all. He’s deep not simple even his simple is deep.

[@a.k.1740]

Magical Mystery Tour is my favorite Beatles album along with Rubber Soul and Revolver. In my opinion, it is their last nonchalant album (the White Album, Abbey Road and Let It Be becoming less frivolous and more austere, revealing all the more the dissensions between the band members which had been hovering since their cessation of live performances). I particularly like the underrated "Your Mother Should Know" and "Blue Jay Way".

The vocals by John Lennon, bass guitar by Paul McCartney and guitar solo by George Harrison, were played live. The drums by Ringo Starr were not, due to technical reasons.

[@glass2467]

Pre-recorded track: The band recorded a basic track with Lennon on harpsichord, McCartney on double bass, Harrison on lead guitar, and Starr on drums over the previous ten days. Live performance: The Beatles performed the song live with the orchestra and studio guests, overdubbing onto the pre-recorded track. The live elements included McCartney's bass guitar part, Harrison's guitar solo, and Starr's drums. (this apparently is a discrepancy in facts) The performance was part of the BBC's Our World satellite broadcast, which was the first worldwide television broadcast.

"All You Need Is Love" was the first song played on SiriusXM satellite radio when it debuted on July 1, 2002. Just a little trivia for you.

[@genegarrett3372]

I watched this Our World broadcast live on TV when it aired in 1967 on a B/W TV. But it was broadcast in B/W. Notice in the extended ending Paul takes off in a refrain of She Loves You. Other music in the ending was Greensleeves, and In The Mood for which they had to pay a royalty to the Glen Miller estate as even though the song was public domain but the version played was a Glen Miller arrangement as well as "La Marseillaise" (French National Anthem) in the opening. The trumpet part was played by Dave Mason who played on Penny Lane.

[@papercup2517]

All you need is love... and good lawyers... for now. Maybe a better world really will emerge some time in the future, just as we dreamed of back in the 60s...

[@thetek2006]

The brass at the start is the start of the French National anthem "La Marseillaise" In the breakdown at the end of the track the orchestral playing in the background is Greensleeves and there is a bit of Glenn Miller's "In The Mood" too, not to mention reprising their own "She Loves You".

A bit of background: the Fool card kept turning up whenever Paul had his tarot cards read. He thought it was bad at first, but was told it represented innocence, an open mind, a willingness to take risks and enthusiasm (Describes Paul well IMO) Also a ref to the Maharishi who was not taken seriously by some because of his giggle.

[@Kieop]

Paul always says that it was inspired by the Maharishi, but I think it's about himself. Though I read a pretty compelling argument once for a third candidate, or at least it was a decent rebuttal to my argument, but I've forgotten.

[@russallert]

One bit of trivia: the orchestra on All You Need Is Love was conducted by Mike Vickers, who was the guitarist and saxophonist for Manfred Mann from 1962 to '65. He then became a composer and arranger for all sorts of things, including writing TV and movie scores.

[@ChasBeauregarde]

The bass harmonica - something the Beatles featured in this song, unique with their instrumentation as is always the case with the four lads and George Martin. Originally this instrument was used in Brian Wilson's song "Heroes and Villians" Paul Simon later picked up on it and used it in "The Boxer" and solo stuff like "Papa Hobo" to name a few.

[@jpmnewyork]

I remember the first time I ever heard The Fool On The Hill. It was a weekday evening and I was listening to 77WABC, the iconic Top 40 station in New York. It was dj Chuck Leonard's show. They made this big deal out of it, with a special introduction as a "WABC Exclusive!" claiming it was the First Time it was being played Anywhere! Don't know if it really was or not. But they played it, and played it again, and then again the next hour, and... you get the picture. The Beatles were HUGE.

[@genegarrett3372]

All you need is love is not totally a live track. Originally it all going to be mimed. They had a prerecorded track available so as not to completely flub it all live in front of the whole world. But then John announced he wanted to sing it live. (George Martin began to panic) And then Paul said he intended to play bass live and wanted a live mic so he could do ad libs. And they talked George Harrison into doing his guitar solo live. (which really got Martin in a panic). Then Ringo wanted to play drums live but the engineers said he couldn't as the mics on the orchestra would pick up his drumming. Ringo shrugged. (Drummers never get respect). In the end it all kinda worked. John said he flubbed one line and George hit an extra guitar note after his solo. (which is noticeable)

[@Kieop]

And someone knocked away Paul's mic in the coda! so you can see Paul singing but only really hear John.

[@genegarrett3372]

Where you people come up with this nonsense. Paul clearly is heard in the Coda uttering "all together now" and then sing the refrain form She Loves you: "She loves you Yeah, Yeah, Yeah." So, how could he do that with no mic.

[@Kieop]

@@genegarrett3372 He had a mic. It got knocked away a couple times and he had to put it back. It's clearly visible. There is some controversy on who sings the "She loves you" bit. The answer is both of them. Paul can be heard on John's mic; they are seated side by side. But some people can only hear John and others think that Paul is the only one singing.

This comment. Is a little bit of a side track thing, more of a trivia. I've been watching videos this morning.Like I usually do And it is always your channel that I start with. Anyway , I was watching a video of Phil Collins discussing His list of the greatest drummers of all. Reason I'm mentioning this to you is because like you. Phil has Ringo star as one of his top list drummers of all time. He doesn't just have a mom, a list. But he spoke extensively about his thoughts on Ringo. And the lack of respect that he gets and the lack of understanding that people have for drummers and specifically Ringo. Of course, I respect your opinion on drummers as I've been extremely happy with your remarks regarding Ringo. Because I've always felt that he's as good a drummer as you've stated, in your opinion. But now I also have Phil Collins, making the same insights as you have. And I certainly respect his opinion. So anyway, I just thought I would drop that little note to you. Because I found it interesting based on the number of people who don't give Ringo credit and here's one of the great drummers in his time, listing Ringo as 1 of his favorites and best. So I say, kudos to both you and Phil.

Lee, if you haven't seen it you have to watch the live clip that goes with 'All You Need Is Love" made for the 'Our World' first ever live TV satellite special in 67. John wrote it specifically for the special and all the vocals & lead guitar parts were recorded live with the cameras rolling (Hence why when George stuffs up his guitar solo they had to keep it in the final version). Lots of famous musician friends in the live audience too, Mick Jagger, Graham Nash, Keith Richards, Donovan, Keith Moon, Eric Clapton, etc, and the clip has a really good vibe to it that enhances the song rather than distracts from it. Check it out.

The original singles were hello goodbye/I Am the Walrus, strawberry Fields Forever/Penny Lane, all you need is love/baby. You’re a rich man.

This album, on the heels of Pepper and their trip to India and the drugs…. Was evolution on steroids, musically. I loved all their music from the start but when the mystic, psychedelic stuff appeared I was all in.

Remember dear, You must watch Yellow Submariner film, then you will finish the puzzle of all these wonderful songs🥰

[@papercup2517]

Well, or the Magical Mystery Tour movie perhaps, since this is the MMT album..?

[@TheClarita1984]

You're right, is the mix that confused me. All You Need is Love is from Yellow Submarine film, The Fool on the Hill is from MMT film 😬

Lee, if you haven't already seen it, you should definitely watch a DVD of the TV film "MMT". Although it was only shown on British television and was mercilessly panned by critics, there are a few important things to keep in mind: * The original music (the songs on Side 1 of the American MMT LP) is BRILLIANT. This is especially astounding when considering the fact that the recording of these tracks were underway after they just finished recording "Sgt Pepper" and was released about 5 months later! Talk about uninterrupted genius! * The Beatles had ZERO experience with the writing, directing, filming or editing of a professional film. It was never meant to be compared to or judged against a Hollywood film production! When viewed with appropriate expectations and frame of mind, the film was, IMO, an impressive success! * Despite the amateurish qualities, there were moments of genius. In particular, the clips that accompanied the MMT songs, are imaginative, creative, and visually stunning. And yet, MMT was broadcast in black and white!!! (Although, to be fair, less than half of American or British households owned a color TV in 1967). That's my take on it anyway, for what it's worth. Have fun watching MMT---it's a TRIP!!!

The Beatles made a lot of money on Love. And that earning power keeps going strong.

Great choices Lee. The video for All You Need Is Love is worth checking out. Thanks for the great music.

Please, you must react to Oh, Darling and I Want You. They’re two treasures.
