The Beatles - Tomorrow Never Knows | Reaction

[@bryter00]

This is a fan remix. There is no extended mix, the only version of this song is the 3 minute official release.

[@PeterBuwen]

I confirm. True.

[@HaleksMTL]

That's kinda true, although you had the mono and stereo mixes which were a little different, but they were essentially the same. This is def not a Beatles release, someone did this, using the real song, only doing a lot of sampling to extend it. Sounds kinda cool but one should listen to the original first. I often thought the song should be longer though, guess now it is lol :D

But it is very good. Age 69, I love this version

[@Rowenband]

I prefer the official version of 3 minutes, they made it longer but left the second verse from the vocal out. Maybe Miles Martin can make a longer version because it is my no.1 Beatles song. Only to play LOUD😅

The Beatles did everything. Paul McCartney is even accredited with inventing metal on 'Helter Skelter'

[@gettinhungrig8806]

Actually all the Beatles played their balls off on Helter Skelter, and it was Lennon who led the way on the White Album. He insisted they recorded the heavy aggressive version of Revolution playing his guitar so loud it caused headaches for engineer Geoff Emerick. You'll notice a similar stabbing electric guitar played by John commences both songs. Paul rearranged his Helter Skelter in a similar vein which was recorded several weeks after Revolution. John basically arrived at the White Album sessions with a punk "I'm back in charge" attitude, and with Yoko, causing tension which set the heavy tone for the album. Read the Emerick book.

[@michaelway7936]

Definitely need to check out Helter Skelter, Paul murders this song,and Ringo poundin the drums like Keith Moon of The Who,at the end he says a funny but true line

[@SvenTviking]

They INVENTED trippy.

[@braudabo]

I've never liked it, when fans create dubious versions of Beatles songs. In Mixer's defense, many have done much worse. But the original is impressive enough, is considered to be a style-defining piece and, with loops and samples, already contains here in 1966 elements of later hip hop production methods.

[@cuebj]

Remember Yoko introduced John to the avant garde art world and he LOVED IT - it’s a world of ideas often abstract. ✊🏽

[@HabaneroTi]

Of course this isn't the original version, but close enough. Realize that it came out in 1966. Think about that. It could come out literally today and it would seem contemporary, this or the original. How many nearly 60 year old songs could you say that about? Back then it helped launch what came to be called Psychedelic Rock. These days I don't know what you'd call it. Trance music?

[@undergroundwarrior70]

If 'Tomorrow Never Knows' came out between 1970 - 1975 it would have been considered progressive rock.

[@thomastimlin1724]

If the original 3 min song would seem contemporary today, why bother with this stupid remix? Historically it is misleading and dishonest to new ears/ reactors.

[@raymondmanderville505]

When you consider Piper at the Gates of Dawn was recorded at the Abbey Road Studio where the Beatles also recorded the Revolver album it’s no coincidence that they shared similar psychedelic flavor

[@blitztim6416]

1966. Revolver. Last track. No computers. Pretty good eh? 😎 I kinda like this version. Those three minutes go by quickly. So many great songs, but if you like this, I would recommend Strawberry Fields Forever.

[@alonenjersey]

EVERYTIME I hear this song I close my eyes and imagine Ringo playing the drums.

[@ESyshej-gf2eg]

They have loads of trippy songs like this, this was one of their first experimental psychedelic albums, this was around the time they stopped touring and went from being a pop mainstream band (as you and many people may only know them as)to an experimental studio band, and the amazing thing is that this was back in the ‘60s and it’s still progressive today. Similar songs include I’m only sleeping, Love you to, A day in the life, Blue jay way, Strawberry fields forever, I am the walrus, Lucy in the sky with diamonds, Within you without you. And I would recommend to give a listen to the solo Paul McCartney’s album Ram. Literally greatest band of all time, and I’m in my 20s.

[@dougrigel1997]

The Inner Light... Arrive without traveling, do all without doing.

[@bobbymoffet]

Ringo.. The human metronome 😂 The illustrious virtuosic prodigious "The Beatles" revolutionized music antiquity. The Beatles was inducted into The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 1988! Tomorrow Never Knows: A cult classic British anthem from 66 :) Grow up on (North West England), basically a home-grown artist within my area of region. The Beatles received none or any formal training in music composition, and even their performance skills were mostly self-taught (with the exception of George's training on the sitar). Some of the innovation they displayed in their sound and style was because they hadn't been taught the "right way" to write music, and instead just did what sounded interesting to them. This also goes for Ringo, who played with a standard drum kit, despite being left-handed, allowing him to do riffs, fills, and other little tricks that were very difficult for other drummers using "proper technique" to replicate. The name The Beatles is a pun on the genre Beat, which is what The Beatles started off playing, but they changed their sound so much over the years that it wasn't really accurate by the time of Revolver. The casual music crowd of today doesn't listen to any other early 60s artists apart from The Beatles, so they are unaware of the context of the band's name. Luckily, it can also refer to the Beat of a song rather than just the genre. Their B-Sides quite often became big hits in their own right, but "We Can Work it Out"/"Day Tripper", "Yellow Submarine"/"Eleanor Rigby", "Penny Lane"/"Strawberry Fields Forever" and "Come Together"/"Something" were all officially considered double A-sides. The Beatles were among the first to make music videos. The video for "Strawberry Fields Forever" is a Concept Video. Throughout their first seven studio albums (up to and including Revolver), there are six songs which exceed three minutes. Lennon-McCartney tended to write a lot of songs on the same subject or with very similar musical techniques which showed the personality of both songwriters as well as the similarities and differences between them. The Beatles are notorious among bands of their generation for preferring less expensive and less prestigious instruments than most later bands used-or at least, those instruments didn't become prestigious until The Beatles made them famous. They used them to begin with because those instruments were all that they could afford, and later because they came to prefer them. Among these are McCartney's Höfner 500/1 bass, which he still uses today (although not his original model, which got stolen); Harrison's preference for Gretsch guitars; and most famously, Lennon, Harrison and McCartney all favouring the then rather unloved Epiphone Casino over the guitar it was designed to be a budget version of, the Gibson ES-330. Lennon's Casino was his main guitar from 1965 to the end of the band's career. 🇬🇧

No. They soon realised that being high did not help with playing or writing and was a hindrance. But for getting an initial idea... being high did trigger some moods and ideas they could work out in detail when sober. There was a lot of avant garde art and music and poetry at the time and Paul, especially, tapped into it very soon after moving to London

"Tomorrow Never Knows," (single), that’s easily the unofficial publicised rendition, I haven't experienced, other than the record single, "Tomorrow Never Knows,", the official original publicised release on side-B, (1966), remastered version (2009), (2022 Mix), also featured on a compilation record self-titled "Tomorrow Never Knows". (2012). The most famous/notorious Beatles bootleg records in my collection: A Collection of Beatles Oldies (1966) was the first attempt at an official Beatles Greatest Hits record and featured a mix of record cuts like "Michelle", singles, "I Want To Hold Your Hand", and a cover of Larry Williams' "Bad Boy". 1962-1966 (the "Red Album") and 1967-1970 (the "Blue Album"), probably the best known Greatest Hits compilations prior to 1. This release was partly of grey market bootleg hit collections as there was no Greatest Hits compilation available. Rarities. (1978/80) two separate records with different track listings and backgrounds, was released in '78 as an addendum for the 13-LP collection to also provide the singles tracks that were not on the Red and Blue records (as those didn't include many B-sides nor the Long Tall Sally EP). 20 Greatest Hits (1982) a compilation of, well, twenty of their greatest hits, released to mark the 20th anniversary of the release of their debut single ("Love Me Do"). Notable for being the last Beatles record to be released with variant versions. Past Masters (1988). A collection of all official 1962-70 Beatles releases not included on the studio records. This includes most hit singles, "She Loves You" and "Hey Jude", the B-sides to those singles, and a few other rarities. It was meant to augment the record catalogue, this time being newly released to the CD format, but also functioned as the de facto Greatest Hits compilation for that format until the CD reissues of "Red" and "Blue" in 1993 and the release of 1 in 2000. Anthology 1, 2, and 3. (1995-96) - After decades of various 'hidden' Beatle material circulating as bootlegs, an official collection of (almost all) unreleased material. Notable mainly for 1 and 2 including the last proper Beatles singles ever recorded, consisting of leftover John Lennon tracks backed by the remaining Beatles. Other than those two tracks, the albums feature mostly studio out-takes, demos, and live performances ☘ xx

[@cuebj]

Had A Collection of Beatles Oldies from shortly after release. Not a bootleg. It's truly dreadful. Whatever happened in the pressing ruined the songs. Put me off Beatles till about 1999 when my then 12-year old daughter heard my barely heard cd of Pepper and loved it. So, age 69, I only got into Beatles age 49. I was more into The Who, Mott, punk

[@TheNicky439]

Hi. I made this mix. I'm so glad you enjoyed it. My jaw dropped when I realised you were reacting to this version. It's a shame about some of the negative comments, but that's inevitable I guess. I made this version a long time ago just to see if it was possible, but mainly for a bit of fun. Also this was the first thing I had ever done musically before which is why it's a bit rough round the edges, and if I did it now I would change quite a lot. Ps. There is nothing in this version that was not in the original (the piano loop in the instrumental parts was taken from the piano bit at the end) :)

Both versions are just fantastic! And Los Lobos do an excellent live version as well. All on KZbin.

[@gazpacho1234]

This Lennon/McCartney collaboration was originally titled 'The Void' (cf. stuff in the 'Tibetan Book of The Dead' & NDEs*), some thought the title was too bleak so Lennon opted for one of Starkey's in-band comic sayings "tomorrow never knows" (a backdoor rendition on: 'live in the moment'). Here is the 1st [experimental] recording of it (from April 1966): kzbin.info/www/bejne/j6XQpp6Bgb-Ei9k . The song was in no way unrelated to Lennon (and wife Cynthia) and Harrison (and wife Patty) unintentionally tripping on [pharmaceutical] LSD with Harrison's dentist Riley (the 'Dr. Robert' on the LP) in April 1965 (Dr. Riley was the host of a small coffee-party at his apartment, who dissolved LSD in the coffee of all 4 guests without their foreknowledge or consent, Lennon at first went into a screaming rage and Harrison, Patty and Cynthia were at first angry and shocked, however the experience really cathartically changed both Lennon's and Harrison's personalities and 'transformed' their 'egos', making 'aggressive' Lennon far more relaxed and less obnoxious and 'less of an acerbic clown' and more serious, and giving Harrison and Lennon a 'hugely deepened sense of universal awareness and interconnectedness'). Counter-intuitively, 'Tomorrow Never Knows' was the first song from the April 1966 'Revolver' album sessions to be conceived, written and recorded. McCartney tried LSD briefly in January 1966. 'Tomorrow Never Knows' was the last track of side 2 on the 'Revolver' album released on August 5th 1966. * NDEs = Near Death Experiences (and also experientially and parallel similar related to pre-Asclepieion and Asclepieion era Hellenist-religious cave 'darkness-water-immersion sensory-deprivation' therapy/enlightenment/ divination of antiquity that dates back in one form or another to proto-neolithic shamanistic cultures globally generally). Note: 'Tomorrow Never Knows' had the same mind-blowing way-ahead of it's time influence on UK concurrent and future pop musicians as did this groundbreaking experimental 'electronic music' theme tune to the UK children's sci-fi TV series Dr. Who in 1963: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bWa5ZXaif7-Ae5Y

“What?!” 😀😁 We had that exact response 100 times listening to a new Beatles song: you NEVER knew what to expect and they were ALWAYS ahead of us. Another Reactor said recently that no matter what the genre was that they would be playing, even hardcore, they always had a touch of elegance in it that no one else had. ☺️ Their catalogue is SO deep - they mastered EVERY genre. Almost everyone who knows only a few songs thinks of their earliest recordings “I Wanna Hold Your Hand” through Rubber Soul. But thereafter: the sky was the limit. I always LOVED their weirdest tracks like this, and: Come Together I Am the Walrus A Day in the Life Within You Without You For “harder tracks” Revolution (MUST be the live version) Helter Skelter Happiness Is a Warm Gun I Want You (She’s So Heavy) But also you MUST hear their shockingly beautiful (not sappy) Dear Prudence Oh Darling Don’t Let Me Down Here Comes the Sun That’s a great start.

I literally grew up on the Beatles' music. Both my sisters were fans, so I heard their music on pretty much a daily basis. "Tomorrow Never Knows" still fascinates me; I read up on it a little and learned that it was based on the Tibetan Book of the Dead. This is around the time that the Beatles became interested in Eastern philosophies, which explains why the melody is basically in one key. My favorite line remains "Listen to the colour of you dreams".

This was the first song recorded for this album. 1966 - when they did their last tour, they could never play this live. Yes, and the loops of sound, and the live drum beats, and philosophy were original -this is extended. John Lennon had the lyrics, and ideas, Ringo did serious drumming. Their Producer, who was not taking LSD, had to realtionaize what he was asked like "Make it sound like an Orange" or "the chant of 100 Guru's on a mountain chanting".....George Martin produced the most bizarre music of 1966 with this track. And this was only like 3.5 years from early Beatles "I want to hold your hand" -these men were not standing still, they changed.

[@rk41gator]

The Beatles help elevate psychedelic rock. This occurred after their extended stay in India studying with a guru. These lyrics reflect this trip. As someone noted below this is not truly The Beatles but someone's idea of 'improving' this song. The feel shorter original is better. Maybe listen to Phil Collins' cover of this tune......very true to the original, except he personally created the whole soundscape for his first album (1981) 'Face Value' (it is the album with 'In the Air Tonight'). Some don't like his version but I think it is a wonderful tribute to John Lennon who passed just months before. It ends with "Somewhere Over the Rainbow". Hauntingly beautiful.

This song was the group trying to expand pop music from the typical 3-minute verse-chorus-verse structure and blending in the new, emerging psychedelic sounds. And, lyrically, John Lennon was influenced by the writings of Timothy Leary who had been literally publishing instructions on how to properly trip on acid. Put all that together with the imagination of The Beatles and the inventive practicality of their producer, George Martin, this is what you get! One of their greatest, game changing songs ever! Love you! You're beautiful! Love your reactions!

One note was played

The original was alot shorter,& to the point.But,I like both...It's after 65 Beatles!!!

[@kevinlakeman5043]

Great reaction. And yes, they were among the very first pioneers of psych rock (among other firsts for popular music). Check out "Blue Jay Way", "I Am the Walrus", "Strawberry Fields Forever", "The Inner Light", "Love You To", "Within You, Without You", It's All Too Much", "Only a Northern Song", "Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds", and "You Know My Name" (just generally wacko fun).

[@ScottButler-i1z]

You must listen to “Lucy in the sky with diamonds”😊

[@MConchis]

You might enjoy, Helter Skelter, I Am The Walrus or Strawberry Fields by the Beatles based on some of the other videos you've done

[@michaelbriefs9764]

That was painful. Whoever asked you to do that version...you might want avoid requests from that person again. Just play the original versions in the future -- unless we are talking about the Giles Martin mash-ups from the "Love" soundtrack. it makes me sad that you had to sit through that, since you are not well versed in the greatest band of all time.

[@thomastimlin1724]

I am in total agreement have already complained about people meddling with musical history..not the reactor's fault and a great disservice to them being misled. I was a school music teacher and cannot tolerate people who rewrite music to their own liking, sing samples or eliminating and extending song lengths. If a person cannot accept Beatles ' music the way it was written and recorded and intended, they need to stop meddling and write own damned music.

the beatles...the best

[@rk41gator]

Now if you like trippy or psychedelic, you must listen to their "Strawberry Fields Forever". The Beatles knew how to compose in sophisticated ways with interesting chord progressions, counter-melodies, and key changes to evoke emotion. Hugely influential.

[@HoneyBunny-69]

This remix is friggin' HORRIBLE!!!! Why not just listen to the original version. Both the Mono and the Stereo versions.

[@PeterOConnell-pq6io]

I think I heard you say something like "hypno-mazing". Brilliant!

[@WildHorses9958]

Listen to the correct version!

[@davidc209]

Within You Without You is another trippy hit from them.

[@matthewashman1406]

um it wasn't a hit.

[@thomastimlin1724]

@@matthewashman1406 True. But it was a trip."

Next reaction: It's All Too Much

[@bobbyj5375]

Beatles are unmatched. Love it when young people discover them.......did they influence, you judge......"Hymn from a village" by James....." Let forever be" by Chemical brothers

[@markee1010]

The first use of a taped loop in recording. Ringo played drums live over the loop. Paul recorded the sound effects on a portable recorder and added them to the loop later in the studio.

[@johnbyrnes7912]

Oh don't listen to Revolution 9 whatever you do ! Helter Skelter maybe but definately not Revolution 9 !!! 👁️🎱

[@dcg4mn]

It’s always been called psychedelia but it can also be considered pop music Surrealism which already existed in all the arts, even movies. It was a cool transfer into pop.

[@dcg4mn]

@@johnbyrnes7912 Maybe she’s into sound collage and sound art - especially a 1968 example 😉 But you’re right it’s not a song - it fair to call it trippy 🫨

[@MsAppassionata]

Other trippy songs by them include “A Day In The Life”, “Blue Jay Way”, “I Am The Walrus”, “Strawberry Fields Forever”, “Revolution #9” (more a sound collage than a song), and “You Know My Name (Look Up The Number)” which displays their wacked out sense of humor. There are some others, but I’ll leave them to other commenters.

[@jaylevy2108]

Maybe checkout I am the Walrus or Lucy In the Sky with Diamonds or Strawberry Fields... All written by John Lennon with his vocals... Very trippy stuff!
