Күн бұрынThank you to our patron Clay for another great Fab Four pick... this was AWESOME. I mean seriously. In front of the queen?? Just killin' it?? That is beyond cool. These guys were on the literal top of the world at this time (maybe that explains the exuberance xD) and John's vocals were killer here. Thank you again Clay. A great recap section as well :)

I think it would be cool to review Please Mr. Postman, which is a cover of a song originally done by the Marvelettes. The Beatles were huge girl group fans and it would be fun to see you react to them both (the studio versions) with the Marvelettes' version first for context. The harmonies that the Beatles achieved in their version were really great.

Funny little detail ... Paul was more working class than John. John grew up in a relatively posh neighborhood. This is not a criticism just an interesting little fact. Thed practiced mostly at Paul's house as well bec Paul's dad was a musical guy and appreciated their drive and their talent. However, Paul's dad suggested when they were working out "She Loves You" that they use "yes, yes, yes" because there were too many "Americanisms" around. Wouldn't have been the same though and they kept the "Yeah, yeah, yeah." I love your user name ... One of the greatest movies ever made! You have a great day, my friend.

There was a bit of an element of Lennon adopting the working class tag and a much stronger Liverpool accent to go with it. His aunt Mimi, who raised John, initially looked down on the other Beatles, but learnt to tolerate them enough once she realised John wasn't going to drop them as friends and band mates. She went to see them play at the dank, smelly Cavern Club only once, and it just confirmed her worst fears of the circles John was now involved in. Much later John was still perpetuating the self appointed working class mantle with his solo song 'Working class hero', but it could be argued he represented a hero FOR the real working class, rather than the reality which was he was the least of the Fab Four to have that background.

He told their manager, Brian Epstein that he was going to tell them "to rattle their f***ing jewellery." As you can see it eventually came out in a much more gentle way.

I suppose it’s easy to hear and see how great they were. But what’s difficult to convey is how different the world was when they came out. It was so fucking tame.. so conservative, so milky goody, two shoes… so when they hit, the sound, and they look so different than anything that has ever gone before, which is why, the phenomenon went worldwide, and became what we now call Beatlemani, although that’s what we called it back then to. I was 12 at the time., and before I saw them, I heard them, and it rocked my world, and changed my life forever.

Little Richard, Chuck Barry, Jerry Lee Lewis, Jackie Wilson, etc. were tame? You apparently would have been too young in the late 50's to understand just how scandalous their music and performances were to "polite" society. Many of their songs were banned by some radio stations, and tv and live performances were severely limited, censored or controlled. Even Elvis was controversial and affected. Television shows were not allowed to show him from the waist down. These performers were the ones who started to break down the conservative barriers and The Beatles took advantage of it and continued it. Kudos to them, but also kudos to the pioneers who started it.

It was the recording session for the Please Please Me album during which John was on the verge of losing his voice. They'd booked the studio for the whole day, and recorded most of the album within that day. But they'd been on the road a lot and had caught colds, so they had a jar full of cough candies on the go all day. They saved recording Twist & Shout until the very end of the session because John's voice was almost shot. If you listen to the recording with headphones, right as the final chord starts to fade, you can hear John making some kind of noise indicating that his throat is toast.

The Royal Variety Show on ITV was the most watched TV show each year in the UK at that time, and The Beatles were the first (rock) act to appear on it and for us teenagers (I was 12) it was the British Ed Sullivan Show moment when the whole country finally heard of The Beatles for the first time because families watched the annual Royal Variety Show all together. My Dad, an Army officer, was furious at Lennon for insulting the Royal Family with "rattle your jewelry" but I was bouncing up and down in my chair because we finally had 15 minutes of live Beatles on TV. My mum bought me the Twist and Shout EP for Christmas and the BBC realised they had to create a TV show where they could feature the Beatles so they commissioned Top of The Pops for the first 6 weeks of 1964 assuming Beatlemania would fade quickly; it lasted for 42 years! On the first Top of The Pops 2nd January 1964 which was a Top Twenty format The Beatles had 5 records in the Top Twenty; 2 singles, 2 EP's and at Number 19 the (Meet) With The Beatles album which even though it cost 5 times the price of a single was selling faster than most singles. British charts in the Sixties were based on sales. Love your Beatles reactions, and in fact all your music reactions; as an ex-drummer myself I appreciate that perspective ;)

We still didn't know about them here in the states at this time. George had been over visiting his sister Louise in Illinois a couple of months earlier and was able to go where ever he wanted without being bothered. He even sat in with a band and played a few songs, and nobody here had a clue what was about to happen just a few months later. This performance helped really put them way over the top (they were already huge). Just before this show Ed Sullivan had been over in England and had seen a crowd of Beatles fans in the throes of Beatlemania and not too long after started pursuing getting them on his show. It just so happened that 'I Want To Hold Your Hand' hit the charts in January 64 and hit #1 a week before the Sullivan appearance. And the rest is history.

This was November 1963 and they were on top of Europe. In the USA, tapes (and perhaps a few 45's) of I Want To Hold Your Hand were making their way across radio stations. I first heard I Want To Hold Your Hand in proximity to Kennedy's assassination and it rocked my world from first listening. In mid to late December 1963 Introducing The Beatles (on the Vee Jay label) was the first official LP in America. Nearly one month later Capitol Records released Meet The Beatles that had great liner notes on the back sleeve foretelling of their February Ed Sullivan appearance followed by making a movie (A Hard Days Night) in Britain. Not until I Want To Hold Your Hand became #1 in the USA AND appearing on the three Ed Sullivan broadcasts did they conquer America followed by the globe. It was incredible to witness this musical phenomena especially for us kids who become musicians and still are today!

I discovered your channel a few months ago, and it's like going back in time and looking in a mirror the day I discovered Abbey Road or Relayer or Madman Across the Water (having rushed home with the just-released vinyls..). You're doing great, from a musician's point of view, I promise. Not that you need any tips, but if you want to try a curveball (though I suspect he blocks reaction videos) try some Keith Jarrett, like "Keith Jarrett Tokyo Concert 1984 Encore" and "Keith Jarrett - Country (1978)". All the best, Steve

They looked so innocent. But they were anything but. They're thinking "after the show we can be who we really are." It was all about the persona. What people expected from them. And yes, they were on top of the world.

Gotta mention the Beverly Knight version of Twist and Shout. Recorded at Abby Road Studios (2013ish?) she sight read and sang the song for the first time - 1st verse/chorus a bit careful, 2nd, 3rd really getting into it and the last verse/chorus really belting it out with everything turned up to 11 - Wonderful, Electric performance! Out there on YT somewhere :)

Lee, I hope when you are doing some George centric reactions and or Beatles psychedelic tracks you get around to It's All Too Much. Many versions out there but whichever you choose it should increase your appreciation for how far out front the Beatles really were. All the best to you and your family-you have a great channel, which I truly enjoy!

they should have zoomed in to John when he made those screams after the 'ahh ahhh' part. One of the first heavy tunes.

and another amazing thing is that 60+ years later you know each of them by name and by personality. Just as we did back in the day... How many other bands do you know each of the members so definitively?

I saw them at Dodger Stadium on their last tour. Very exciting to be in the same space with them. The sound was terrible, they were on a platform on second base area and used their basic stage amps in that huge open stadium, the vocals miked through the same metal speakers used for announcing balls and strikes, very tinny sound amid all the thousands of girls' screaming. Still a thrill, they left the stadium via black limos hidden under a big tent behind the second base stage, it was very surprising get-away to watch as they sped away through left field and out the gates.

Lee, you should see them from back then in a less formal setting - Long Tall Sally, their absolute banger and often their set closer back when they played in Hamburg Germany. There are a handful of pretty good live recordings of this from then, and I absolutely like them all, but I think this one is probably my favorite; you get to see a good bit of Ringo going off, and it's just a lot of fun, and really gives you another glimpse into their early energy and charisma for that time: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/od6EY6eUt7idk4U.htmlsi=orsG04jvDYZrnSak

Their live performance of Twist and Shout on the Ed Sullivan show a few months later sounds a lot better, although you have the screaming fans in the background of that performance. Nevertheless, The Ed Sullivan show was a much cooler performance and overall better sound quality. You should check it out. This was cool though. And as usual, great reaction! Peace

When Lennon said that bit at the beginning that was a big deal in 1963. The class system was still dominant. And these working class boys from Liverpool weren't having none of it.

It's been documented, that when The Beatles recorded their first album, in one day (20th February 1963 -included songs recorded the previous Sept'1962 "Love me do") from about 10am to 10pm. Lennon had a cold. They waited until the end of the session to record "Twist and Shout" to save Lennon's voice. With help of lozenges, and tea, "Twist and Shout" an American R&B song, from 1961, had become a favorite of The Beatles and fans in their club or theatre concerts in England, and their time in Hamburg< Germany. John completed the recording, the band was great -yet the production at Abbey Road studio asked for a second take - Lennon's voice was reportedly too stressed, with his cold, and belting out the vocal at end of the day. That's the take on the album. "Rattle yer jewelry, or clap"
@lauraallen55 Ай бұрын
I think they may have all had colds, and were all feeling pretty ragged by the end, but John especially. He was swigging/rinsing with milk too, as well as chain smoking which probably didn't help lol! John said his voice was jacked for some time afterwards. I can imagine!

I was born in '59. As a little kid I was aware of Kennedy, Johnson, the Space program, and "The Beatles". I had a cousin in Arkansas who came up to Colorado to see them at Red Rocks in 1964. My Parents and Aunt & Uncle thought it was "cute" She was about 15 or 16 I think, & my Dad drove her there and picked her up after the concert. I didn't really become a fan of them until they'd already broken up. A couple of my earliest albums were "The Lonely Bull" by the Tijuana Brass, and the Monkees Second album (that was the actual title). I loved the Monkees and didn't realize later that they were simply a corporate attempt to mimic the Beatles ala "Hard Days Night" period. That said they still made some pretty good music and had hits written by people Like Carole King and Neil Diamond. My first Beatles album was Sgt. Pepper on cassette in 1972. Then the White album on vinyl. I bought pretty much every solo Beatles album up into the late 70's. The Beatles will and should influence music for generations to come, as they already have. They are the Mozart's and Beethoven's of the last Century.

They did a lot of covers like this one in their early days. If it seems like they are all yelling louder than needed, it is probably because this recording might have been redone to eliminate the screaming from the audience that always lasted throughout their performances. Usually, they could barely be heard. The screaming would get louder when they went "woooo!". This sounded great, but it is missing something with the screaming deleted.

Good review! Knowing you’re a musician (like me) and enjoy the Beatles, there’s a band I’d really like you to listen to (even if you don’t do a review) - an early 90s band called Jellyfish. They only made two albums (Bellybutton and Spilt Milk) but they are masterpieces. They never made it big, but they’re like a musician’s secret! Brilliant writing, playing and production - lots of Beatles influences, plus Beach Boys, Queen, ELO. The drummer played standing up and sang lead vocals! I’d bet money you’ll really like them.
