The Beatles - With A Little Help From My Friends (REACTION

[@_stardust62]

Fyi...Ringo is 84 years young, still playing the drums and singing, and looks great! Amazing Ringo 🤩

[@tackysum]

Saw Ringo live in 2019 and it was a great show. His All Star Band carried a lot of the load, but Ringo delivered. And he closed the show with "A Little Help From My Friends".

[@vicprovost2561]

The amazing Ringo Starr! No one else like him.

@@tackysum Saw him in 2022 and had the same experience.

[@pookiemartinez1745]

Ringo just celebrated his bday here in LA. bloke looks in his 40s or 50s. Ringo and Bill Ward have those deep style voices.

[@tackysum]

@@GinnyRobertsonLLC 😀 He did all the hits we expected except Act Naturally.

It's amazing that Joe Cocker made this into an entirely different tune, but the Beatles' version still is so soothing to listen to.

[@SpuzzyLargo]

Cocker did his in 6/8 time, among other changes.

Don't forget, when this album came out in June '67, it spent 27 weeks at number 1 in the UK and 15 weeks at number 1 in the US. It was everywhere and marks a c-change in human consciosness. Great reaction fellas :)

[@vicprovost2561]

Yes, talk about a cultural touchstone, it caused many 1,000s to start a band. They gave permission for music to be far more than a 3 minute single.

[@chrisgrey9616]

That " get high with a little help from my friends" was radical beyond belief back in 1967!

Paul's bass line makes me smile.

Paul is one of the best bassists of all time. Most people have no idea just "how" good he is.

[@loadedorygun]

In the upbeat songs it has this delightful “doop-de-dooo” bounciness to it, like the footsteps of a happy Sasquatch.

The Beatles took us to a new level, a higher existence that transcends us even now 50 years later!

[@JoeandAngie]

When we returned from Congo in 66 to the USA after several years, it was an entirely different country. My dad said, "Well, while we were gone, the Beatles and the birth control pill happened. Everything we knew is gone." Wise man spoke truth. No one had any restraints, nor personal accountability after this...

[@Michael-Philip]

I think you guys did the Joe Cocker cover from Woodstock.. One of my favorite covers ever..

[@SpuzzyLargo]

I enjoy the vocal interplay within this song. In the first and second verses Ringo is asking the questions. In the second and third verses, as well as the bridges, they start to switch it up with his friends now posing the questions to him. 😊

Absolutely everything about this album makes me smile. If I'm feeling out of sorts, hearing this album is guaranteed to give me a lift.

[@billadkins5150]

I was 6 when this came out. My older cousin played it for me and my sister. I’ve heard this thousands of times. It still gets an emotional reaction.

[@membysteph64]

Another fantastic reaction La/Chee In my opinion this is a special album by the boys from Liverpool. It’s an amazing journey of their artistic style. They are all over the map when it comes to genre of music. They just did what came to their heart and soul. This album is a banger. In my opinion I could not find one bad song. Keep on doing what you are doing.

[@williamHmusic2023]

Love your Beatles reactions... It will be enjoyable to see you guys react to the White album

[@marrkhicks]

Undoubtedly the greatest band of all time

[@ktwebbdevil]

While the Stones, Zeppelin and a couple others are in the conversation but when all is considered The Beatles are the GOATS!

[@CuriousGeorge1111]

Probably my favorite song, from my favorite album. The harmonies, friendship, optimism, and Paul's fantastic walking bass warm my soul. Adding to the sweetness, Paul wrote the song for Ringo, and tailored it to his vocal range--he had to work to hit that last note. 🙂 I think the more your hear this track, the more you will like it. Paul's plays magnificently on this track--and the entire album. I often focus on just his bass. Thanks for doing Sergent Pepper, I hope you love it.

[@coryorr8475]

Alright. I’m all in

[@mattgarfinkle978]

This is one of the most joyful Beatles tunes, coupled with some of the best bass PMC has played (the whole album, really)

[@CuriousGeorge1111]

I often think the same thing. Paul's bass is amazing, so melodious and playful, fitting the songs perfectly. I often focus on just his bass.

[@cshubs]

I highly recommend the Carpool Karaoke with Paul in Liverpool. It's pretty great. They visit places, including Paul's childhood home, where he lived when they started to get big. Also check out the deleted scenes.

[@peteroneill3993]

Great reaction. Great tune. All my best to you and yours from Liverpool

[@tbryan5313]

I got this album the week it came out. The first thing that hit me was the recording quality. It sounded so much richer, better than any thing before it. Then they upped that quality with the white album! I assume it was advances in studio equipment. It was '67 I think. And each song ran to the next one without a gap. That was a 1st for me too. Also, Ringo is left handed but had to learn on right handed kits. Part of his uniqueness I think.

[@thomasmcgivney4519]

Fella's, The Beatles opporate in another Dimension. They had contemporaries but no competition. They set the pace throughout their career. Wait till you get to a "Hard Days Night". Pure craft from the #1 band on the planet.

[@theivory1]

That song is so good.

[@kengunter6903]

This was like my 3rd album I listened to at 12 yrs. old. It was so different & I was just hooked on R&R after that. Great R & R group!!!!.

Joe Cocker made it his own with a little help from his friends Leon Russell's arrangement and Mad Dogs and Englishmen backing. Its easy to enjoy both versions because they are so different from each other.

[@rickhilton9108]

So glad you guys are going to listen to it from start to finish because that is how it was recorded and meant to be listened to. next up Lucy in the Skys. not a bad song on the whole album.

[@davidwilkins5932]

I’m so HAPPY that you’ve gone to work on this album. When it was released I was a young fellow, not yet working, but managed to buy it myself somehow. This and Magical Mystery Tour (which you should also go through start to finish) were like cosmic psychological missiles fired into my head, by way of my ears. And now at age 68, they’ve never lost relevance or importance.

Don’t we all?

[@stevedahlberg8680]

Love the reaction. I never get tired of hearing this and when Ringo jumps up the octave to that E4, and it's really well supported, and he holds it, with all those incredible harmonies around it? Oh my God it's just great. The bridge pulls you up into the atmosphere to some degree, with those powerful backing vocals taking the lead, but when Ringo's voice comes back in on the answer parts, the chords and the composition and the rhythm and the words work together to insistently steer us right back to something very basic. He just wants someone to love.

Second comment, same album. Love how much you gets are "in" these mixes. Had to smile ... when La says, "check out that bass." Sir Paul definitely placed his bass MUCH more prominently in this album, and going forward. Before, he was more in the background. Lucy In The Sky is next up ... pretty amazing work there (and all), but Mr. Kite is extra special. Hope you guys post all your review of SP here.

Yes, Ringo probably didn't have the vocal versatility of a Joe Cocker, but Ringo's singing is very smooth with a nice register. Ringo gave a recent interview this year where he said John and Paul sprung this song on him at the end of the day's recording session because they both knew Ringo was a bit nervous about singing a lead vocal. But he did alright in this one! Ringo said he was nervous at the end because Paul was pushing Ringo to sing that last high note he holds to end the song, and said he was relieved that he got through that take.

[@RigoMuniz]

I am listening to the Beatles since 1965 when I was 8 years old. And to this day they remain etched in my heart. The greatest band ever. I was mesmerized, the sound was surreal. They changed the World. In this song Ringo Starr shines. From Ringo I like I am the Walrus, Yellow Submarine and Photograph. Thank you for the memories

Correct me if I’m wrong but I heard that after a long day of recording they asked Ringo to try a take of this one and he was feeling up to it. John and Paul said they would sing it with him. Indeed, he got by with a little help from his friends.

Such a jaunty little tune. Loved it then and still do. Joe Cocker made it so much different but both are fine. Joe and the Beatles were great friends too IIRC. I can't wait for Lucy in the Sky. A whole nother place.
