'Oh! Darling' from the same album will blow your socks off. It's The Beatles like you've never experienced. I 1000% guarantee Blessing you will LOVE it!!! Take care my friend, Rick

Once again, That is likely the GREAT Billy Preston playing the keys for them. He was the fifth Beatle no matter what you may hear. Check out "Will it go Round in Circles" by him, or him singing "My Sweet Lord" at the Concert for George.

[@Sirala6]

You may be a genius.

[@Bill_Jones.]

It’s so weird growing up in the 60’s and seeing “first time hearing” on the title of reaction videos. For a song like “Come Together”, it’s like hearing someone ask “What is a telephone” ? No knock against the host, there’s a first time for everything. It just knocks my socks off a bit.

The beatles are a fuckin miracle!!

[@ricknbacker5626]

In early July 1969 while driving in Scotland, John and Yoko were in a serious car accident. It forced John to miss several weeks of recording sessions for what became the Abbey Road album. Upon his return the last week of July, John brought the song Come Together to the studio. John was particularly rude to Paul. Telling Paul he didn't want Paul to sing harmony or play piano on the track. Paul, instead of making a scene, simply left the studio for the day. As the days passed Paul wrote the electric piano line for the solo while John watched over Paul's shoulder. Paul did end up singing the harmony on the song, when John wasn't present in the studio. Such was the tension between John and Paul by this time. The unofficial break up of the Beatles was only weeks away. Great reaction Mrs PP, I loved it. Merry Christmas,, RNB

[@backbeat44]

this is not true. Lennon never asked McCartney not to play ot sing on the song. The group taped eight takes of "Come Together", with take six marked "best". The line-up consisted of Lennon singing lead vocal, McCartney on bass, George Harrison on rhythm guitar and Ringo Starr on drums. Starr placed tea towels over his tom drums to further dampen their sound. Without needing to use his hands to play guitar, Lennon added handclaps each time he sang "Shoot me!" also adding tambourine over both the solo and coda. Taped on 4-track recording equipment, at the end of the session, take six was copied over to 8-track tape in Studio Two, allowing for both overdubbing and the easy manipulation of EQ Overdubbing for "Come Together" took place in the week following the recording of the basic track. On 22 July, Lennon sang a new lead vocal and again added handclaps, both being treated to a tape delay, with automatic double tracking added during the choruses. AT LENNON'S REQUEST, McCartney played a Fender Rhodes electric piano, with McCartney later recalling that Lennon "wanted a piano lick to be very swampy and smokey, and I played it that way and he liked that a lot". Harrison added a heavily distorted guitar during the refrains, while Starr added a maraca. Work on the track continued the next day, with more vocals added. On 25 July, McCartney contributed a harmony vocal sung below Lennon's part, and on 29 July, Lennon overdubbed a guitar during the song's middle climax. Work on the song finished the next day, with Harrison playing a lead guitar solo with a Gibson Les Paul during the song's coda.

[@paulstage8077]

Geoff Emerick states in his book that Paul wrote the electric piano solo with John hovering over his shoulder. Pauls harmony vocal is sang on a isolated track. The track conscious Beatles seldom wasted any opportunities to fill up each track. Even when they switched to the 8 track machine during the White Album sessions. This is evidence that Paul was alone when he recorded his harmony. Possibly reflecting the tensions within the band were raised at that particular time. You both bring up good bits of information in your posts. Thanks for sharing.

[@paulfuller8985]

I always thought that Billy Preston played the electric piano on this track . Of course I could be wrong .

[@ricknbacker5626]

@@paulfuller8985 Hi Paul, Billy's only 2 post Let It Be sessions happened when Billy returned to London around the 3rd week of April 1969. He recorded the swirling organ chords and stabs whilst also doubling Georges iconic opening guitar phrases for the song 'Something'. Then closing his Beatles chapter playing the smoky B3 organ on Johns, I Want You (She's So Heavy). I hope this helps. Regards, RNB

[@michaelparks6120]

As a former musician, it just depressed me how good these guys were and that I was not in their league...so that was the end of my musician phase ! Lol

[@scottchapin2323]

Only The Beatles can have a song with nonsense lines and made up words and have it become a hit. THE GREATEST BAND EVER!!!

[@dagmar.6954]

"Come Together" is on the Beatles' 1969 album "Abbey Road". This is one of my favorite albums. All the songs are great on it such as "Something", "Here Comes The Sun", "Oh! Darling", "Because", "Maxwell's Silver Hammer" etc.

[@kbrewski1]

Nice reaction, you were spot on calling it funky. Its one of the Beatles coolest and funkiest tunes and I think it still sounds just as fresh today as it did back in 1969. That's amazing when you consider the song is 55 years old! "That street" is Abbey Road, the street their studio was on where they recorded, and that's why they named their last album Abbey Road. The keyboard sound you asked about was Paul playing an electric piano (overdubbed). The vocal that sounds like shoooo over the drum roll is Lennon singing "shoot me" over and over, which is tragically ironic for obvious reasons. I would suggest you listen to the "Abbey Road medley" on Side 2 of the album. It starts with "You Never Give Me Your Money" and continues to the very end. There are 8 small songs patched together and meant to be heard together. The last song is simply called The End, and is literally the last song the Beatles recorded as a group. It will blow your mind, its iconic, and everyone should hear it. When you hear the entire medley, you'll understand why it set the template for 70s guitar Rock and Roll. You will thank me! 😊

[@caplondon]

This is a Lennon song, he sang lead vocals. More rockers are Helter Skelter, Let it Be, While my Guitar Gently Weeps, Back in the USSR and best love song Something. Thanks for sharing. 😊🎉❤

[@pamagnolia]

Fabulous song on one of the best albums ever!! Love the Beatles!! 👏😅 John sang lead on this.

[@kevinmoss6428]

"Come Together" is a groove

[@matthewgoodA1206]

I’ve always thought this has to be one of their more unique tunes. As the drum pattern at times deviates from a rock beat, bringing in those low rolls and the unusual “tss-tss-tss-tss” sounds. That’s John on lead vocals with Paul backing him. Meanwhile George as always handled guitar leads; my father said his style was very distinctive. The top music group of my parents’ generation, and I think you would enjoy diving deeper into their work.

[@BiggerFatterBlog]

Oh Darling is a really good Beatles tune. Don’t let me down is another excellent Beatles song. Thank you for presenting this for younger generations.

[@michaels640]

Do try The Beatles “I want you” (she’s so heavy)”. I think you’ll love it.

[@mikecaetano]

FM rock radio stations were still playing "Come Together" a decade after its release. It pairs well with "Riders on the Storm" by The Doors. They typically saved it for later in the night though, sometimes following it up with the medley from side two of Abbey Road -- "You Never Give Me Your Money", "Sun King", "Mean Mr. Mustard", "Polythene Pam", "She Came In Through the Bathroom Window", "Golden Slumbers", "Carry That Weight", "The End". Sixteen minutes with seamless transitions between songs. Listen to the whole thing at one sitting for full effect of the composition. Majestic. Bring tissues maybe dancing shoes. 😀

[@dougsusie2319]

Not just an amazing group but also by far the greatest and most influential band in history. Lennon's the lead vocal and wrote this one. Merry Christmas Peace ❤

[@pamagnolia]

Something and Here Comes the Sun are both great songs on the same album! 😊

[@jerrypost9651]

I LOVE when you react to The Beatles. sweet Blessing! ❤️ What's cool about you saying you didn't want the song to end is that it opens "Abbey Road" -- their last recorded album. So this song really doesn't end -- it just leads you into their last great adventure. It is definitely a John song. I'd suggest following it with "Oh, Darling," a Paul song, also on side 1. George's renowned "Here Comes the Sun" opens side 2. I think you already reacted to that one, didn't you? 🤔

[@user-zg9is1xg5v]

That drum lick you are hearing, by the way " good ear". That is a double bass drum hit, two high hat licks and a reverse roll starting to the right on a floor tom rolling backwards. Ringo is left handed and the story is that he played this on a right handed drum kit and this genius sound was the result of it.

[@MrsPenPal]

This is so detailed do you have some drumming experience? Thanks for sharing ✨😇

[@robbielux8353]

[@stevedahlberg8680]

That was a slide guitar, right when you just said, what was that? And yeah everything about this just kills, it fits together like a jigsaw puzzle and Ringo is just knocking it out of the park. But I love the bassline I love the chord progression I love John Lennon's voice and poetic lyrics on this, everything about it just came together. 😂 This has got to be one of my favorite reactions ever. ❤

John Lennon was famous for this kind of word salad that created an impression of deep meaning. Another example of that technique is "I Am the Walrus".

I'm not sure but I think you loved every part. An amazing song. DNAY, but some of that lead guitar strikes me as a tribute to BB King. Great reaction.

[@coffee-xg6my]

John Lennon was sued over this song because it sounded too much like Chuck Berry's 1956 song, "You Can't Catch Me". He even used some of the lyrics from Chuck's original song. "Here come a flat-top / He was movin' up with me," changing it up only slightly to say, "Here come ol' flat-top / He come groovin' up slowly." When John played the song for the other Beatles for the first time, Paul McCartney immediately noticed the similarity to Chuck Berry's song and suggested they slow it down so it wouldn't sound so much like Berry's song. But that didn't fool Chuck Berry's publisher and a lawsuit was filed after it's release. John settled out of court and agreed to record 3 songs from the Publishers catalog as part of the settlement. That's the thing about the music business, The music is the fun part, but you gotta be careful. The music business is a nasty business. I had one musician I know tell me "Lawyers love the music business. Someone's always suing someone"

[@williamcapp448]

[@danielolson5378]

Compare this song which was among the last ones they ever recorded and Love Me Do which was the first song they recorded. It's about 7 calender years between the two songs but from a musicall point of view it's light years between them!! They matured and grew so much as both musicians and songwriters during these 7 years. I'd say this is definetely the most funky song Beatles ever did!

[@chingon1760]

lennon rhythm guitar vocals, harrison lead guitar, mccartney bass guitar, starr drums, preston keyboards bad ass

[@genebaughbba3479]

In the Beatles they are all the lead singer! In this instance John is singing and Paul is singing back up on just specific words as if he's not quite back from the dead yet.

[@beckygrant2258]

What is he saying as part of the drum rhythm? He’s saying “Shoot Me.” Lennon said the lyrics are just “gobbledygook!” Just spoken gibberish. Far out, man! The song is so interesting, it doesn’t even need proper lyrics! It’s the F’ing Beatles, man! Pure ART recorded on vinyl! That’s what they do!

@@waynejohanson1083 The Rascals manager was Sid Bernstein, who promoted The Beatles Shea Stadium concert. He promoted The Rascals at that show by flashing "Here come the Young Rascals" (which they were originally called) on the scoreboard. From what I've read, and photos I've seen, George Harrison invited The Rascals to his home in England, when The Rascals were touring there. I can see why, since The Rascals were such a great band.

I will watch you listen to Beatles anytime any song. In this song the guy they are taking about is Paul, the supposedly dead man. I pictured the three Beatles left standing over Paul's grave and singing this song and you can faintly hear Paul singing some of the words as backup singer. In this explanation the other three Beatles have resurrected Paul from the dead and now he is like the Phoenix rising out of the ashes into Abbey Road Studio their own Studio where they own the place. On the album that this song is on you can see the famous walk across Abbey Road. I picture this as the Beatles coming from the graveyard right into the studio to record this song Come Together.

John wrote this by stealing most of a Chuck Berry song. Paul thought it sounded way to close to the original so Ringo changed up the rhythm and Paul threw in a moving bass line and this is what came out, towards the end of John's time in the Beatles. This was recorded late summer 69 and John left the Beatles in September 69.
