Sargent Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band was the first "concept" album, in that one song would flow into the next, similar to what you discovered with Pink Floyd. I remember watching their first appearance on the Ed Sullivan show. I knew there was an excitement in the country building over them, but at seven years old, and only being able to listen to one AM radio station, I certainly hadn't heard any of their songs yet. What I remember thinking during the show, was wishing the girls in the audience would stop screaming, so that I could hear the music.

Beatles have such a massive and amazing catalog, they were the most influential band in history.

Here's the deal. The Beatles only recorded for six years and have sold more singles and more albums than anyone else... ever. That includes groups that have been together for over fifty years. They are The G.O.A.T.

Only the Beatles could get everybody to sing na na na for almost 4 mins

I can proudly say the Beatles are the best of all time. Everyone wanted to be them

*This generation doesn't realize how massive the Beatles were and continue to be!!*

“Lucy in the sky with diamonds”, “blackbird”, “while my guitar gently weeps”.....PLEASE!!!! GO DOWN THE RABBIT HOLE!! You won’t be sorry. 💜💜

When it comes to music, there’s the Beatles. And then there’s everyone else.

Paul wrote this song for John Lennon's first son, Julian Lennon, when John and Julian's mother divorced. Julian was brokenhearted and Paul (who was like an Uncle to Julian) just wanted to comfort Julian (whom he called "Jude"), and encourage him. Sweet, eh? This song was a monster hit when it first came out! And it's still going strong today. I was a "Beatlemaniac" back in the day. I saw the Beatles twice in concert. And I saw Paul McCartney in concert after the Beatles broke up and Paul formed the band, "Wings" which included his (now deceased) wife Linda. Listen to Paul's "Band on the Run" album. It's amazing. :-) The Beatles ROCK!

Paul's incredible improvised outro I'm sure cannot be surpassed on this beautiful Beatles song.. This is and was a watershed moment for the Beatles. Pure magic by Paul McCartney.

Suck?!!! Ha ha, my friend, this is the band that changed the world. Literally.

And keep in mind, that guy whoʻs singing the first part of Hey Jude -- just released another album. Heʻs 78. Might look that up. Itʻs called McCartney 3.

The Beatles took the 1950's genre called "Rock and Roll", added in musical elements from other genres and Created what we now know as "Rock". Without their total influence, none of those later bands would have existed. Music in general would not be what we know today. The world itself would be very different.

The Beatles seldom "suck." The reason they're so popular all these decades later is because they were the best rock band in history. With two of the greatest songwriters over the past century.

the beatles have the deepest discography of any band I've ever listened to. hits on hits on hits and amazing deep cuts

IMO the Beatles songwriting and arrangements are unparalleled

Paul is the singer. John is also one of the beatles. John was getting a divorse from his 1st wife. Paul wrote this song for Julian whom is John's son. They are incredible musicians just listen to the Abbey Road album. It was a simpler time back then. Yhe long guitar leads were just beginning when the Beatles were ending. The Beatles changed music and the music world.

Lad, as John Lennon once said "The Deeper You Go, the Higher You Fly". Listen to more Beatles from various periods and you'll discover just what incredible musicians -- and songwriters -- they were. Especially George Harrison, who NEVER gets enough love. It was a different time, so it's a different sound and a more-limited technology. The Beatles saved rock n' roll from being a boring succession of Beach-Boys-Wannabes and Leslie Gores as far as you could imagine, and led the British Invasion which brought us far more inventiveness, expression and experimentation with music than had existed previously.

Yes, my young friend, there is a reason that The Beatles are still having albums remastered 50 years after they were first released, and millions of new people are buying them and loving them. Welcome to the Beatle world - you're in for some wonderful discoveries!

Rush bassist and singer Geddy Lee talked in an interview with Rolling Stone magazine and revealed how he was influenced by The Beatles’ bass guitar icon Paul McCartney.

In terms of the Rock music hierarchy, there is the Beatles and there is everyone else.

They changed the world, they changed music, they are the best band ever. 25 number one hits in 7 years.

I STRONGLY recommend you react to them performing the song don't let me down f you want to see them live

I'd give my left arm to hear Hey Jude for the first time again!😂😂

best ever or not, i dont know, but by far the most influential band in history. many bands from Pink Floyd ,Zeppelin, black Sabbath, Rush, are heavily influenced by them. they were the 1st. from little pop songs, to rock songs, did it all really. i prefer many other bands, but cant deny they were the greatest.

I was living in the era when this long song was new, just when the critics were saying the Beatles were washed up, they came out with this song and kicked their butt. Hey Jude was number one on US billboard for 9 weeks. no matter what the critics say, the Beatles still sell their music because people of all backgrounds, many of whom weren't even born for decades after they split up, still discover and listen to it over fifty years later. Hey Jude appealed to all kids and young adults of that generation no matter their background, along with he Motown music and some other groups etc. You reacted to a first hearing exactly how the original generation did. That means the Beatles are timeless. I'd like to hear the original music written by those Beatles critics and see the music sales for those Beatles critics....if they have any... it will make for a very short read and listen I am sure....by the way, there was NO AUTOTUNE or computer enhanced music like today. This is pure talent, the songwriting and delivery, and timeless music. That is the Beatles legacy.

I agree with you! Hey Jude has a way of making you feel good, and taking you along for the ride. It was my grandma's favorite Beatles song.

This is my first time ever hearing the Beatles.

I cannot believe that there's an adult on the planet who never heard "Hey Jude" before

"Because" amazing harmony.

"Hey, Jude" was written as a message of hope for John Lennon's son Julian, who was experiencing a lot of turmoil from his parents' divorce at the time. Paul originally was going to call it "Hey, Jules", but thought Jude sounded better. I don't know if Julian really got the message or not as a result. He certainly knows now.

The first rule of listening to rock & roll is "Ima hafta TURN THIS UP!" Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks! You need a serious history lesson my friend. The Beatles ROCKED the world in 1964, a true phenomena in the U.S. Maybe en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Beatles is the quickest way you you to get a glimpse of their impact. The first paragraph is almost enough!

“Gotta turn it up” the only correct way to listen. You thought they were gonna suck? Wut????

The three part harmonies in the background are amazing, basically nobody can do this anymore

My name is Christopher Ericsson from Sweden... I am 60 years... been listening to this music all my life! This music is timeless...

Seen Macca playing this live loads of times - audience reaction is always great, sadly Beatles never played this live, because it came out after they had stopped playing live. Paul McCartney is officially most successful song writer ever.

I’ve read about fifteen books on the Beatles. They are the greatest band of all time for so many reasons. Rock music is what it is because of the Beatles and Elvis. Their song writing, musical innovation, ability to redefine themselves, use media, creating new sounds - all in ten years... they stand alone. Period.

Would be surely fun for you to watch Carpool Karaoke with Paul McCartney. You'll find out how the Beatles still rock

This song was written by Paul McCartney of the Beatles. After his band mate and best friend, John Lennon married his second wife Yoko Ono, his son from his first marriage, Julian, was feeling kind of forgotten and depressed. Paul took note of this and since he considered Julian like a nephew and wanted to cheer him up and inspire him a bit. So he wrote "Hey Jude." He used "Jude" instead of "Jules" basically because it sounds better. Keep listening to the Beatles, dude. Good job on this one!

You need to see this performed live, with the crowd reaction & integration it’s phenomenal

In one of his last interviews before his murder, John Lennon told a story about Paul McCartney writing this song. Paul asked him what he thought about the line “The movement you need is on your shoulder” - John said it was brilliant. When I was 18 or so, I didn’t understand what that line meant. Then I remembered another connotation for “movement”. During the sixties there were lots of movements, like the hippie movement, the civil rights movement etc. “The movement you need is on your shoulder” means to trust your own brain and not to follow others.

Thanks for the mention! Paul McCartney is the bassist and one of the lead vocalists. He's singing on this song. John Lennon is the rhythm guitarist and a lead vocalist. Paul and John do most of the singing. George Harrison is the lead guitarist and another lead vocalist. Does occasional lead vocals. Ringo Starr is the drummer and another occasional vocalist. Jude is the pseudonymous name for Julian Lennon, son of John Lennon. As you read, John and his wife Cynthia were going through a divorce. John notoriously had an affair with artist Yoko Ono and he left Cynthia for her. Yoko is often considered one of the biggest reasons The Beatles broke up as she essentially changed John's way of thinking, was often present in the studio despite a rule restricting wives and girlfriends from being in the studio, and essentially pulled John away from the band. The other members really weren't happy with Yoko always being around. Paul wrote this for Julian to comfort him in this troubling time because his parents were separating. The Beatles broke up in 1970, two years after this song and only 9 years into their career since their first release. The changed music forever in those 9 years. They innovated so much and everyone looked up to them. No band has achieved the level of innovative progress and fame that they have. Also, careful with them. Their copyright is intense and many of their songs will get blocked. I'd recommend making a Bitchute account and redirecting their videos to that site. It's Copyright safe and you can use it for other blocked videos.

I am so glad you've been introduced to the Beatles now. Everyone needs to hear them. I'm in the middle generation. I was born the year they broke up for good. But even still, their music is a part of my life, and it's like a textbook for music.

The Beatles kept re inventing themselves with their music getting deeper as they grew! They broke up while on top too! Which keeps them fresh with their various styles...still influencing musicians!

50 years after their break up, still NUMBER 1...Listen to "A Day in The Life" my friend, it will bring tears to your eyes.

"All you need is love." Check that one.

I truly love the Beatles and really enjoy seeing people hear them for the first time. It's been something that's been on the radio or on records family listened to my whole life so I didn't have that "moment" of discovery. Seeing people actually hear it all for the first time satisfies me in a strange way.

Hey Jojo listen to their song Get Back next. They say the name Jojo in it.

Please listen to While My Guitar Gently Weeps by the Beatles. It's my favorite Beatles song and I think you'll appreciate the musicianship in the song.

Brilliant.The band was wonderful in that their music (and style) kept evolving during the 8 years they were recording.Listen to one of their first songs,then one of their last,and you'd almost never know they were the same band.

Try finding a musician today who wasn’t somehow influenced in part by the Beatles. (Good luck.) They are unparalleled, imo.

I love everything about this reaction. Not knowing Lennon and McCartney is almost unimaginable to me, but I appreciate that you looked up the song info. John Lennon was murdered on 12/8/1980 outside his home in NYC. Paul McCartney, bass player, who sang this one, is still alive, and he’s a huge icon. Yes, this was a song for Julian Lennon.

Try the Beatles' Helter Skelter. IMO the first ever Grunge song!

You are the first one I've seen doing a reaction to the album version. Congrats. It is way better than the live version.

awwwwwwwwwwwwww you melt my heart saying you were in a special place having listened to your first beatles song

Possibly the longest fade out in pop music. Even when it's over it fades in your head for another minute.

A note: this was released on a single when it came out. On the reverse side of the single was John Lennon's song "revolution" so check it out. For a very low price, kids got these two great songs.

Try listening to A Day In The Life and Tomorrow Never Knows, extremely experimental and inventive songs that pre-date Pink Floyd. Please react to more Beatles songs!

Awwww I haven’t gotten good and started on this but I thought it was super cool of you to shout out one of your fans!

High school 1968 and I end up on the band bus heading back to Bakersfield after a football game in Shafter. Someone started playing Hey Jude and pretty soon they all are and everyone is singing too. It was pretty amazing.

They're the BEST no cap✌😎

When you get a chance, see if you can find the movie, Crossroads, with Ralph Macchio. It explores "juke joint" blues. This type of music is what gave birth to early rock n roll.

They have so many great songs with original sounds, always evolving into something better.

New subscriber here. Always will subscribe to you young ones listening to the Beatles for the first time. Hope you loved "Hey Jude" as much as I did the first time I heard it - I bought the single (on vinyl) back in 1968, and has been my favorite song - of anyone, ever - since then. Wishing you the best with the reactions and your Beatles journey.

No matter who was singing the the lead, they had the 2 best harmonies backing them up.

You have to keep in mind Rush, Queen, and a hole bunch of the Groups you listen to and really enjoy came after the Beatles( would they be who they are without them)

I’m glad you’re exposing yourself to all kinds of music. So much out there to listen to and enjoy. Some with such creative and meaningful lyrics.

I just discovered you today & have been binging all day long! New sub, thank you for appreciating our old music, this is what we grew up listening to, not bad eh? Cheers.

Jojo needs to listen to The Beatles - "Get Back" ;-)

"All this drama back in '68..." Take a look into the history of 1968. You have no idea.

I love your reactions..your a great and genuine person.

you are definately dialed into the ether. every video of yours that ive watched, yo7ure reactions are spot on, delightfully refreshing, sweet with nostalgia, and fun to watch. the appreciation you show is cool.

I've never been so early, Lmao. Good reaction

Willie Dixon, Memphis Slim, Guitar Shorty, Muddy Waters, Robert Johnson... these guys and many more are directly responsible for rock n roll as we know it. Without them, there'd be no Beatles, Rolling Stones, or Led Zeppelin.

You and the dress shirt! 😄 Love it !! Welcome to the weird..wonderful and WOW world of the Beatles..Enjoy the journey....all the best from London UK 🇬🇧.....Fin ..✌

The thing about the Beatles is they are more than just a band. They lead the way for music for decades. They wrote and performed songs that are timeless. I still get chills listening to this song even though I've heard it countless times. You're in for an adventure with this band. They really don't have any peers.

not much can be said in a youtube comment to really put into perspective how great and broad the beatles were, the only way is to sit down and listen to a variety of their music from across their career, but no one can force you to do it.

You're left handed like Paul McCartney (bass player).

Happiness is a warm gun, The long and winding road, come together, something, In my life! Too many to name!

Long before you were born, the Beatles changed the world

From England this was the early 60s they made music wrote sang played and the first boy band EVER

You’re one song in to the Beatles and you hear something. Keep going. Bands like this, ya can’t come close to figuring what they are about because they covered SO much ground. I’m also not one who recommends the singles for most bands (more like whole albums or deeper cuts, but this collection here (‘1’ which is all of their number 1 singles) if listened to start to finish you get a glimpse of how they morph from a very good pop band into something WAY more...way deeper and diverse. Hope you will stick with them for a bit (and THEN do the same with The Rolling Stones). Peace

Love this! One of my karaoke specials! They are FOREVER my most fav band. Perth, Australia ❤

The Beatles were the very best musicians at what they did. No one else could have done what they did.

The Beatles ARE the musicians. They played their own instruments

John Lennon and Paul McCartney George Harrison and Ringo Starr are the beatles.

You captured the most important elements of this song. Great job!

I grew up listening to the Beatles with my dad (he grew up in the 60s/70s and is the typical classic rock loving dad lol) and we saw Paul McCartney live in 2019 before covid…I’ve been to more concerts than I can count…but Paul, even at almost 80 years old, blew them all out of the water. The energy in the stadium when he played this was unreal.

Please listen to "imagine" by John Lennon. I think you would really like it and he was a Beatle

Jude was Julian Lennon. He snuck out of the house to see Rush in 1978. He loves Rush. I love The Beatles! However, there is no way that they are better than Rush. Hello Goodbye would be a good Beatles song to check out

"I hope this is one of the best.". You picked a very good one.

I am so jealous of you being able to experience them for the first time. The best is yet to come.

You should listen to their song a day in the life next

You thought The Beatles were going to “suck”. The Beatles suck!? Don’t know know who Paul or John are? Really can’t understand what musical universe you have been living in about music.

This bloke has a lot of amazement to come once he goes through some more Beatles songs. I think we will see astonishment on his face in the coming months once he tries a few more Beatles songs. The Beatles are the greatest band of all time and no band will ever come close. EVER!

I'm so happy to see this so g make you so happy! I have a hundred favorite sings, butvif I had to pick just one, this would be it.

You could make a channel reacting to exclusively Beatles music and never get through all the songs!

Taxman" - "For No One" & "Got To Get You Into My Life", are on their 66' album Revolver. After about 4 they brought in others that play horns/saxophones etc. There were a lot of other bands around, but they were all original and different in ways Paul- singer, lyrics, BASS, PIANO, GUITAR John Lennon- singer, lyrics, GUITAR, PIANO Ringo- sang sometimes, left-handed, played drums of a right-handed drummer, was one of the few to have many different ends or choruses before, during and after, some writing George Harrison- sang, guitar, SITAR, some writing...

You cant comprehend the magnitude and scope of the Beatles globsl impact without watching dozens or hundreds of videos. Its mind boggling.

That is the wonder of living in our modern world. New generations get to experience songs and movies for the first time. It's magical and emotional. I hope you enjoy your jouney listening to all their music for the first time!
