That's interesting? I've never heard that quote from Georg??e and also interesting because he and Jeff Lynne were good friends and Jeff give so much credit to George for inspiration for his music. 🎶🐦

And also interesting, when you look at the group they formed together and played in, the Traveling wilburys, there was a whole different sound, unlike ELO or the Beatles.. I can't help but think that Tom Petty had a lot to do with that ?and of course Roy Orbison.

georgelee43211 it makes me shed a tear

and it costs 10000 dollars

george lee, do you do tkd?

How does a 60 year old instrumet still sound like the future :D

Moogs also get nasty.

Check out Beethoven sometime. You'd love it.

highcheese oh yeah I love Beethoven i just meant for “Rock Band” type music😁

Jack Straw yeah it’s amazing

This part always stand out to me when I listen to this song. It’s so beautiful.

The same here...makes me so happy, but the same time makes me cry

Bloody true!

it's Paul McCartney playing a Moog. There are no real strings on here.

@@jamesmurphy186 Yes there is a real string section.

@@jamesmurphy186 Its obviously a real string section.

@@stefangray5795 you would think that James Murphy of all people could tell the difference between a string section and a Moog

The song stands on its own with George's guitar and singing. The rest is Beatles gravy. The true art of mutual workmanship.

No way, if the moog was louder in the mix it would have been much better

And the lost electric guitar solo... kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hLNmpM2X3Kemg4k.html

The Moog is not an effect. It is a musical instrument in its own right, and George plays it superbly.

The Georges (Harrison & Martin) pioneered the use of synths). Delightful arrangement. Vanguard work.

What are you referring to exactly? The very slightly off pitch wobble or are you referring to the whole melody?

Rhythmicons the modulation is the effects they put on the moog, the wobbliness and quality of the sound rather than the melody

@@glasseyebird I was wondering specifically what he was talking about. At that particular timestamp I didn't hear any. I hear a fast keyboard glide, but some of the changes in pitch could very well be the player hitting the wrong note accidentally.

In terms of synthesis technique, there is no "modulation" happening at that point except for the original Moog Oscillators showing their tendency to not stay in tune across wide ranges of pitch or short durations of time...

@@marzzz1 That's what makes the 901s so great, right? The exponential converter residing solely in the A.

I am tired, I am weary

It's magical

I swear this can fix depression, holy shit

i could sleep for a thousand years

same

Would it be any different than the solo material each put out during the 70s?

You can make dozens of albums with all the solo material they made, even Ringo has so many songs

Ah I can't imagine the Beatles enter disco era (if you count Paul and his band Wings) and heavy song that's faster than Helter Skelter

They would've put out 2-3 more great albums and then began a decline, as the Stones eventually did. One of the best things the Beatles did was break up at their peak.

They should have split up -so what-done their own stuff as they did which was good except for Ringo then got back together again for Live Aid or something,Mark Chapmen and a easily aquired handgun ended that possibility for ever!

Wow !! Never thought of that. You're absolutely right.

Maybe ELO picked up where the Beatles dropped off.

I've always wished they'd do a hard rock album and a floaty psychedelic Pink Floyd like rock album

Leonardo Gatti IVE ALWAYS SAID THIS! imagine the beatles reacting to led zeppelin and doing some hard rock, or reacting to pink floyd and writing one or two concept albums. they did not have to break up at all

@@demezzerate6769 yeah man, and considering what they had behind them, songs like Helter Shelter, Yer Blues, I Want You, and albuns like Sgt Peepers, I think it's very reasonable to believe both things could happen

That's why I prefer the "All Things Must Pass" demos to the album versions. They're beautiful songs, but Spector's bombastic production doesn't really do them any favors.

Hopefully we get some 'stripped back' mixes of All Things Must Pass tracks later this year as part of some 50th anniversary deluxe set. Hopefully.

George Martin was a master of the less is more orchestral arrangement.

Garbage! So damn tired of Phil bashing. George Martin wouldn't even TOUCH the ill-fated LIB sessions!!!. And Spector "was given the shittiest load of badly recorded shit - and with a lousy feeling to it - ever. And he made something out of it" according to John Lennon. www.beatlesbible.com/albums/let-it-be/4/ "Spector set to work, mixing here, snipping tape there, and ultimately recruiting both Ringo Starr and an orchestra to work on several tracks - including McCartney's song, 'The Long And Winding Road'. Why wasn't Paul there at the session? Because both he and John were so sick of the project that they had agreed to let George and Ringo supervise what Spector was doing. So it's true that Paul McCartney didn't know what Phil Spector was planning to do to 'The Long And Winding Road' (i.e. add an orchestra and choir); but only because he had chosen not to get involved. When Spector's work was done, he rapidly assembled his mix of the Let It Be album, cut four acetate copies of the LP, and sent one apiece to each of the Beatles for their approval. The four musicians liaised with each other, and approved Spector's work. Only two weeks later, when the presses were already rolling, did Paul suddenly wake up and think, "Hang on a minute, I want to make some changes". But by then it was too late. During the research for my book, I came across the original letter that Spector sent to the four Beatles. Rather than the authoritarian rant I was expecting, his note turned out to be extremely friendly. "If there is anything you'd like done to the album, let me know and I'll be glad to help", he wrote. "Naturally little things are easy to change, big things might be a problem. If you wish, please call me about anything regarding the album tonight." That's definitely the voice of compromise, rather than a control freak." peterdoggettbeatles.blogspot.com/2010/09/phil-spector-and-let-it-be.html?fbclid=IwAR2_2GyjGFaCY7Ks1xXlC9g3f0sIitXK9bslsyfqd27qaI0fLjQ0d_4fk_I Three of Phil Spector-produced Beatles solo albums (No.1 and No.2) are in the top 5 of this list!!! ultimateclassicrock.com/beatles-solo-albums-ranked/ Lennon's 'Rock'n'roll' (4 tracks produced by Phil) is at no.11. Harrison's 'Living in a Material World' (no.7) includes the amazing 'Try Some, Buy Some' (co-produced).

@@sadakichihartmann1827 I didn't take any of this as Phil bashing. To my mind, with the best will in the world, when comparing Spector with George Martin in the 60's most people are going to say that Spector's production style was usually more heavy handed whilst Martin's productions were normally more astringent (dare I say, economic). As with many things musical it comes down to opinions. My opinion is obviously the correct one as I'm sure yours and everybody else's is? There's no point having an opinion that's wrong. I think the original comment actually referred to All Things Must Pass, which personally I think is a great album despite the production, which to my ears is over produced and badly engineered (there's almost no 8kHz on this record), and sounds lumpy and a bit dated. However, I respect that GH wanted to work with Spector and respect that the released record was what he wanted... Who am I to request any different. Let It Be is a great album, like a flawed diamond.

Cool. He's still alive?

@@JR7noir My Dad is! Not sure about the inventor.

Then we owe him a very great debt of gratitude. I hope he is well. His contribution to the history of music cannot be overstated. Greetings and best wishes from London.

Actually, it was George Harrison who bought the Moog used in the Abbey Road Sessions. It appears on Maxwells Silver Hammer and Because as well. Those songs are early examples on how to use a Synthesizer in a popular song in tastefull way, WITHOUT building up the whole sound on the "new" of the electronic sound.

@@MarkusHorror Agree!!!

Is that because he's dead??

The individual tracks are available, this hasn't been isolated.

Because of corona :D

@@colmdawson7018 Where can you get access to them?

i want the multitracks aaa

Hand claps are a part of numerous Beatle songs going back to "I want to hold your hand."

The rundown during the interlude & at the rundown at end of the song 123 123 123 12 1... is a Tihai (pronounced ti-'ha-yi) a polyrhythmic technique found in Indian classical music, and often used to conclude a piece. Gotta love it!

frank marrero, yep. I think only The Who match them for hand clap magic

Shixty-nine likes.

@@Stratocaster65 Thanks for that breakdown and origin, Strat Man! 👍 I wondered what the structure was... (I have a 63 Tele)

the beauty is within you

Same

Same

dwodo21 So true his album Electronic sound is so avant garde

Amen brother I sincerely mean that

And don't forget one more George - Martin , without whom there wasn/t the Beatles as we know it.

I might add that Let It Be was recorded on George's personal 8 track recording machine. I think he was more interested in the technical aspects of recording that the others.

Did John not perform on the track?

John met a car accident and did not participate

@@robertdavalos5479 wow surprised they still recorded it then!

Robert Davalos listen to this Here Comes The Sun/The Inner Light Mashup which features backing vocals from Oh Darling (which John participated on the backing vocals) kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ir6KZdtn07Glias.html . The opening features the sun, sun, sun part from Here Comes The Sun (which I believed John overdubbed vocals on when he came back) and the ahhhs and oohs from Oh Darling. It sounds mashup together perfectly that John participated on. It John didn’t contribute vocals during sun, sun, sun part it wouldn’t fit together nicely.

Without john, they still burn it, awesome

Beautifully put.

@Boodysaspie Dr. Moog CERTAINLY knew how to get music out of it. So did Bernie Krause. But "the first programmable synth appeared in 1978"? What are the knobs and cables for then?

@Boodysaspie When you route patch cables and set potentiometers, you are "programming" the synthesizer. Setting it up to play songs is done with a sequencer. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/adCXkphe3cWRlKc.html Perhaps you meant "preset"? George said that about Bob Moog because George didn't know shit about programming it. That's why he edited Bernie Krause's noodlings into "Electronic Sounds" and caught crap for it.

Boodysaspie You don’t know what you’re talking about lol

@Boodysaspie A preset is a noun not a verb.

@Boodysaspie All Midi did was replace CV as a mode of controlling a synthesizer.

Sawtooth!

Agree

It's a synthesizer, am I right?

Kinda like an early Moog solo.

Its very cool, but Moog bass stands for this ... 😉 1:50

That part is the reason I was looking for this.

A varios nos dió la misma sensación de llanto. Es tan sensible la melodía. Tan humana y buena. Que raro no?

Llevo años buscando un video con esta parte, por fin. Es hermoso 🥰

The synth part is actually pure McCartney, particularly the counterpoint at the end.

@@3replybiz wait paul played the synth ?? it would make sense.. but who do you know ??

I think you need to listen to the Delia Derbyshire/Ron Grainer 'Dr Who' theme from 1963. People were doing things like this while the Beatles were still a guitar pop band.

@@3replybiz That's interesting, considering that Robert Moog didn't introduce the Moog Synthesizer until October of 1964.

@@3replybiz There were electronic sounds LONG before this (the theremin had been around since the late 1920s). But the way in which the versatile Moog was used in '68-'69 was on a whole other level, and The Beatles were a big part of that experimentation.

You had to wear a collar and tie etc at EMI, even in the the 1960s. This was relaxed a bit at the end of the of the 1960s. There used to be a notice in the studio that said that sports jackets could be worn at the weekends. I had this confirmed by EMI man Keith Slaughter in the 1990s.

The Beatles didn't own the Moog on this track, the studio happened to have one.

Did it make you... gently weep?

It was the other way around

@@kennytesta9312 Yeah ELO is just a Beatles rip-off band. A good Beatles rip-off band, but a Beatles rip-off band nonetheless.

i just wasn't made for these times from pet sounds uses a moog

Please explain your sources for "By 1973, he had what was the only custom built Moog."

That was a Theramin...

@@Stratocaster65 i assume mike love plays it on good vibrations. any imfo -knowledge who plays it on pet sounds?4 decades i wasn't sure that it wasn't actually a brian wilson vocal..( its called a moog ribbon such and such-thats why i thought moog) but I'm pretty sure they never used an original thermin even on the original good vibrations

@@jamessilver6429 auguri auteur

Correct me if I'm wrong, but it was only used on Maxwell's Silver Hammer and Here Comes The Sun. Doesn't it?

In because too

And in I Want You (She’s So Heavy)

But apart from those less important songs, not very much :)

@@Paul58069actually they’re my two favorites :)

Keylin Marker yes. Strange people who hate the moog song...

Whoa, that wasn’t intentional?? It feels like it was almost written in, that’s amazing

itwontcomeout5678 I forgot where I read it, but after you released the key it would slide down to the lowest note on its own. I don’t think it was intentionally programmed that way, but I think he just wanted to use it and incorporated it into the song

Nah that’s intentional

@@awilson24 The effect was intentionally used, but the discovery of it was caused by a glitch with the Moog with sustained notes sliding down.

Pitch bend. They did have it back then.

Maybe, sometimes, making difficult tasks easy debases the relationship somehow, between the performer and their instrument, and/or inhibits creativity (which at the highest levels, feeds on surmounting unexpected barriers)

Which is perfect

🇺🇸🎸

It does!

It really did!

True, it sounds the best when all the tracks are together, but hearing isolated tracks like this can bring out nuances that you never noticed before in a song. And now that you hear these isolated parts, you can pick them out when everything is played together and appreciate the song as a whole even more. I've always loved this song. But even as a synth player I never noticed the Moog, and now I love it even more.

@@BlackTomorrowMusic I've never heard the Moog this clearly before.
