[@prod_zeka]

why?

[@Hernal03]

@@prod_zeka He probably means that It's a mystery to most people how this group was able to accomplish what they did in 7 short years and in the process revolutionize popular music. It of course was not a supernatural process by any means, but still somewhat mysterious if you weren't there with them every step of the way, which of course the vast majority of us weren't, so it's quite difficult to fathom. It's how they alchemized in just a couple of short years from what basically started out as an insanely popular boy band, singing simple and joyful pop tunes like _A Hard Day's Night, Can't Buy Me Love,_ and _If I Fell_ in 1964 into the complex and experimental (yet still popular) band they morphed into by 1966 singing such baroque, psychedelic and eastern style tunes such as _Eleanor Rigby, Tomorrow Never Knows_ and _Love You to._ It does boggle the mind --- it's like that scene in the movie _The Wizard of Oz_ where Dorothy walks through the door and her Black and White world suddenly becomes a gloriously colorful one.

[@prod_zeka]

@@Hernal03 indeed, the evolution and change that occurred in the trajectory of the beatles is very remarkable. These last few months I've been practically obsessed with them, and it's really interesting to delve into their career. I don't know, but there really is something fascinating about the Beatles' songs. Maybe the sound ahead of its time, the psychedelia or just the fact that practically all of its songs are memorable and great (in my opinion).

[@Hernal03]

@@prod_zeka Below is a post I made on a one of the Beatle reaction channels after the reactors asked for more information about the Beatles musical progression: The Beatles went through 4 distinct phases and showed signs of progress in each one by delving into different types of music. Roughly, those phases were broken into groups of 3 albums each (along with the associated singles often not included on the albums). Every 3rd album or so they would move on to something totally new, but within those phases there was definitely progression within each individual album. It's amazing that their entire legacy was cemented in just 7 short years. The phases are roughly as follows (albums listed in recording order, not release date order): ( 1 ) --- The Mop Top / Teen idol phase: Albums: Please, Please Me (1963); With the Beatles (1963); A Hard Day's Night (1964) ( 2 ) --- The Folk Rock / Country Rock phase: Albums: Beatles For Sale (1964); Help! (1965); Rubber Soul (1965) ( 3 ) --- The Psychedelic Rock Phase: Albums: Revolver (1966); Sgt. Peppers ... (1967); Magical Mystery Tour (1967) ( 4 ) --- The Professional /eclectic phase: Albums: The White Album (1968); Let It Be (1969); Abbey Road (1969) *NOTE:* All of the singles they released that were not included on their official albums can be found in the 2 disc compilation collection called _Beatles Past Masters I_ and _Beatles Past Masters II_ --- most of their well known hits and popular songs can be found on these 2 albums (though in my opinion, their album tracks were equally as great, just not as well known). A few other tunes not released as singles or on the above albums appear on the _Yellow Submarine soundtrack album._ That being said, I would also like to add that we should not forget about their wonderful producer George Martin who also contributed much to the Beatles music --- including the playing of Piano and Harpsichord on a variety of tracks --- truly the 5th Beatle. Hope this helps a bit in defining the different stages in their musical progress.

The Beatles did not suddenly produce a masterpiece out of thin air, it took sessions like these to work out ideas and work around a basic riff or theme. Just like any other band, you play together and suddenly an idea or a phrase appears. Then you build it into a song.

Once you watch and listen to the Magical Mystery Tour album/ movie you understand the essence of their desire to become less commercial and more into creating. Sessions like this one demonstrate their ability as musicians and the pure joy they enjoyed when not under incredible and increasing pressure to perform and conform to the mainstream for the sake of their label. Deep down the Beatles wanted to return to basics . Have their music represent who they were and less what everyone wanted them to be . Stripped back from lyrics and politics they are simply creating a beautiful jam here ....as were so many of their contemporaries at the time.

[@charwest9449]

One of Harrison's most brilliant riffs. I love Paul's piano version in rehearsals at Twickenham even more though. But this is brilliant and very Beatle-esque.

[@oppothumbs1]

Harrison's riff is good. It's Canned Heat (good) meets Grateful Dead (bad usually) written by Paul (he's no John Lennon). Songs sounds groovy for a while but for 5 minutes it's never develops into much unless you are stoned, I guess? If only it was 10 minutes it would be declared genius.

[@mickavellian]

Well THIS was shit, but that bass riff has potential. I just don't see Paul sticking to a bass groove through a whole jam without throwing some slides and dissonance. Ringo is not playing ... that's a decent drummer (NOT PAUL AT ALL, you need some drumming Independence to pull that simple groove) ) with more of a Jazz feel (ride cymbal timing and buzz snare figures? not Ringo's repertoire but VERY Charlie Watts (not saying it is Watts). The pace was so NON Beatles and the only talking was "Ok boys"? which does sound like John but the chatter would've started right there . Damn if this sounds like a Beatles jam at all.

[@PaulusCaesar]

mickavellian definitely ringo playing. ok boys is from another track anyway. it sounds like a beatles jam because it's the beatles, the only question is who's playing organ and guitar, could be anybody on bass (john or george), scholars don't agree. Ringo is most definitely on drums, I don't understand why people always put him down, he was a competent drummer in many genres. and this is a very loose jam anyway, so full of sloppy playing, just to warm up.

[@mickavellian]

I am NOT defending Ringo anymore , his work is there . to say Ringo was competent is like saying that Michael Schumacher was a good driver.

[@ramirreyes6414]

Paulus Caesar Of the 3 Beatle guitarists, I would say John was the most unlikely playing the bass in this jam. The way he played sloppy bass on the live version of Let it Be or his composition of his Get Back guitar solo, does not suggest he's as good of a bassist as Paul or George was. But since George was most probably on guitar here, that melodic bass is most likely to be Paul's and I strongly agree with mickavellian that the bass riff had potential. The guitar riff was well trippy. After years of listening to Ringo's drumming, I would say it was him on this track as well. I wish they would have done this more seriously as only the bass was going steady and in focus most of the time and the rest of them were just loose. It would have been better if they polished this into a serious recording and people have said in other videos that this sounded like Grateful Dead. Had they made an instrumental out of this, it would have been the only one of its kind on the Let it Be album and second to Flying from Magical Mystery Tour.

[@mickavellian]

I feel ASHAMED it took me 3 listens to say THAT IS RINGO but (here I go excusing myself) wrapping my head about Ringo's way of developing a song . YES no doubt . His little unexpected silences, and the closing was 100% Ringo and I will kick myself for 17 days straight. Agreed John nor Ringo could touch the bass.(Ringo says it "I dont play bass cause thats too hard for me) While Ringo was NOT a bad keyboard player and John was no Paul, John COULD play "Imagine" There are questions if John or Phil Spector played the piano in Imagine. but Spector was amazing on keyboards. He wou;ve thrown some some wacky RACHMANINOFF Partita No. 4 in D Major, BWV 828: No. 5, Sarabande embellishments within verses. . George was no McCartney on Bass but he DID right the iconic bass line of "And I love her" (who knew!

There's a description, in Hunter Davies' official bio of the Beatles, of them and Floyd meeting up at Abbey Road and exchanging 'lame hellos'.

[@nicholasrosebush6182]

Holy cow this sounds exactly like 68-70 era grateful dead. Could be a dark star jam and i couldn’t tell the difference.

[@Dani92670]

I don't know which I find more confounding and almost out of the twilight zone realm, the fact that until September 25, 2021, the day before my 51st birthday, I am both hearing and hearing of this song. Like many other people my age, I imagine, the Beatles were my first real experience with being introduced to a life long love of music, back when my mother was still able to find most of their albums for sale in record stores (1979-1981 time frame approx) and I was 9 - it's not as if I didn't have enough time to find the opportunity? Second, this video was uploaded June 19, 2012 (day after Sir Paul's bday, coincidence, yes?) and that means I'm almost a decade late to this - it feels weird to be so newly wrapped up in something a bunch of other people hashed out almost a decade ago. P.S. I really like this a lot and it was fascinating to read your description. I was worried it was just me who found this to have a certain sound to it but clearly I was being paranoid - Grateful Dead, lol...I know how people can be with their musical loves and didn't know if a GD comparison would offend anyone - I am glad this is not the case because wow, it's a little uncanny. I hope this isn't a ridiculous question but what, if anything, can you tell me about the photo you included? Thank you and I am sorry to have arrived wayyyy late to your party. Honestly, with the music situation of today it is like winning mini lotteries when people like yourself find and share these never-before-heard gems. It's like getting new music after all, even if it is a life time later.

Haha, I'm just hearing (of) this for the first time tonight! I collected Beatles bootleg albums pretty hardcore in the late eighties and never came across this. Great stuff!

[@cosmicrancher2169]

Thanks, Never heard this before. Faded away many times into the Dead of the eighties.

[@laurencaulton103]

Very Dead-like. The Beatles just jamming. We never get to hear them like this, everything is usually so polished.

[@osamabinladen824]

Personally, I prefer the raw ones. Like this video.

[@roytacleb8781]

Also my favorite is just watching them jam.

[@pjsnijdersmusic]

Lots of bootlegs full of complete sessions and jams like this.

[@ManuelMorillo-e1s]

Actually a melody or riff can appear out of thin air. And when it does you don’t question it, you build instrumentation around it before it vanishes into thin air again. Songwriting is a mysterious art form…at least for me it has been.

[@coldeb8911]

Sounds like something that would have been fitting to use on ‘Magical Mystery Tour’.

[@prop7674]

Oh so well done. What a gem to have allighted upon. You good human you.

sounds like at some point someone will come to the microphone and sing "Dear Mister Fantasy play us a tune. Something to make us all happy..."

[@squeakeththewheel]

exactly what my ears told me.

[@christopherthomas7253]

This is a pretty good edit, as the original really meanders. Thanks, poster.

[@adamslowikowski3085]

Lovely chill sounds from the Fab Four!!! 🙂💛🌻✌🙏

[@toadfan64]

I would love to hear Sean Lennon rework this into a song. Could fit really well since he sounds just like his dad.

[@increbulous]

Pretty clean edits, they didn't jump out at me.

[@murphy6700]

This wonderful little piece ended up being used by Paul in his post-Beatles animated movie, Rupert the Bear.

[@desoxido]

What? Do you think there is a connection between these two tunes?

[@ewest14]

@@desoxidoPaul wrote this song and used it in Rupert the Bear. It’s the same song

[@labangs65]

So beautiful.... To take a nap, after toke and drift off into the Palace of the king of the birds...

[@ClueSign]

The Beatles play the Dead's "Terrapin Station" and jam into "Fire on the Mountain"

[@paulepperson3536]

Dark Star

[@jonathanlindquist431]

My thoughts exactly... except for Terrapin Station, which of course came a bit later than this. And I'm not sure, but I think Fire on the Mountain might have appeared a bit later than this as well. So hey, we could even maybe say the Beatles even predated the Dead on a few things!

[@winecorrespondent4724]

They did attempt this a couple of times in the sessions.

[@nosliwmail]

'Terrapin Station' 1977. Fire on the Mountain 1978. The Palace of the King of the Birds January 1969.

[@utmostzen9602]

@@nosliwmail and yet some are saying The Beatles were copying those songs😌

[@cordellsenior9935]

Can't get enough of these gents. Thank you.

[@ice9snowflake187]

Sounds like they heard "Dark Star" on "Live Dead", and wanted to try to jam like that.

[@daviddansereau1793]

What fun!!! A two chord riff I have never heard before Thanks 🦁🦁🦁

[@PaulusCaesar]

The name of the song was taken from a song later recorded, but not released, by McCartney in 1990. It was then called "Castle of the King of the Birds". I don't know if it was intended to be called like that in 1969, but in the end it was just a warm up jam with a few chords anyway. The intro is pretty much the same though.

[@jfziemba]

Probably a reference to the Persian poem "COnference of the Birds by Farid al_Din, an allegory of spiritual enlightenment

[@Vingul]

@@jfziemba Maybe. I thought of Conference of the Birds too.

[@Heene1028]

One of the mist beautiful pieces of music These ears have ever heard… Tell me Sir Paul wasn’t a “Sir” in another lifetime…. Perhaps in a renaissance royal’s musical court❤️🙏😁

[@elliepond5984]

This could be mistaken for a tune by the Perth band, POND, delightful indeed!

[@josephromano2115]

I miss it on Sundays like they used to play it, and now I miss it with Helen light on the weekdays at 10:30

[@rudyxrudy]

so like JERRY!!!!!!!!

[@timrattray3447]

Like others I am here because I watched Part 1 of Get Back. I may call into Tales from the Golden Road just to see how many people hear the remarkable Dead like nature of this jam. Maybe something connected to Fire on the Mountain. Of course this would have predated by at least 7 years.

[@GratefulGary420]

Interesting to hear this after thinking I've heard everything Beatles. I wonder if the 14 minute version exists? I would also be interested in hearing anymore history of this song as there is no information at all in all of the Beatles recording history books I have. I like it and just stumbled upon it today.

[@ianbannister8404]

Thank you for this wonderful track

[@SteveJohnnyX]

simply amazing

[@dennisdowning257]

It's cool to hear the Beatles jam
