Hey man, I think you'd love to know that you actually can see the performance of "I've got a feeling" that made in to the album, because the album track is literally a recording of a live presentation on the rooftop of their studios! Looking for footage of this presentation you can see "Get Back"live, "Don't let me down", wich is their most watched video on yt, and "I've Got a Feeling"

The second half of Abbey Road (from the song ‘You Never Give Me Your Money’ all the way until ‘The End’ is a medley - it’s meant to be played all in one go without stopping between songs. Try to listen to it that way to get the full experience, or else you’ll be stopping and listening to fragments of really short songs

Let It Be tears me into tiny pieces and then puts me back together. Every time. And I’ve listened to it hundreds of times.

And the Past Master - non album tracks (A and B sides and a few EPs)

Your expressions are juicy and priceless. Vibe, Gagging. Love 'em. Plus, I find your reviews highly insightful and intelligent. Great stuff Prince.

Paul wrote the song “Let It Be” after his late mother (who died when he was only 14) came to him in a dream when he was going through the breakup of The Beatles. She advised him to just let it be. Her name was Mary. Of course, many religious people think it’s about the Virgin Mary, but it’s actually about his mom. I’m sure that he probably realized that when he wrote it.

Past Master 1 & 2 are the ones to go with to collect all the singles.

If you want to see something incredible, on the Disney Get Back movie they film Paul creating this song out of nothing bc John is late. It’s amazing to see it develop. Watch the doc. Special props to Billy Preston on this album and Abbey Road. The 7th and last 5th Beatle.

I love the footage/visuals you use while the songs are playing. All that anime stuff and random clips. I’ve heard these songs a million times, and don’t know anime really at all, so it’s this cool surreal combination of superknown and unknown mixing together. Plus, much of the video footage you pick is really beautiful

My top 5: 1. Let it be 2. I me mine 3. Across the Universe 4. Long and winding road 5. Get back

Let it Be makes me weep every time.

You should check out the Get Back documentary which has a lot of footage from the studio sessions for this album

You would love George Harrison's Here Comes the Moon; co written by Stevie Nicks too.

My top 5 from Let It Be: 1. Let It Be, 2. Across the Universe, 3. Get Back, 4. The Long and Winding Road, 5. Two of Us. This isn't one of my favorite Beatles albums, but it certainly has some good songs on it. The Beatles are one of very few artists where you can listen to every album, and even the lesser albums are pretty good. If I were you, for artists you check out in the future, I would often just listen to the albums from when they were generally thought to be at or somewhere near their peak. That's often not an easy call, so you could define that generously: Beach Boys 1964-71, Rolling Stones 1965-81, The Who 1965-78, Kinks 1966-72, R.E.M. 1983-96, for CCR, skip their last album, etc.

Hey. So once you done with Abbey Road please PLEASE react to Pet Sounds by The Beach Boys. Rubber Soul inspired it & this album inspired The Beatles on Sgt. Pepper. Thought you'd find that interesting.

Maggie Mae is a folk song, and John Lennon learned it during the 50s Skiffle Craze, which inspired John Lennon to form the band that would become the Beatles. Love the vids man!

It's funny that I always think of this as their most uneven album, but the songs on it are actually great! Even an uneven Beatles album would be the career highlight for almost any other band.

Yo, the Let It Be moment cemented you as my favorite reactor on Yt, I am literally gagging rn lmaooo

Awesome Video Man!!! Abbey Roads going to be a blast!!! Keep up the good work man!!

I see you considered the suggestion to keep Abbey Road last ! You won't regret it. Although Let it Be is still a great album nonetheless

There's a great multi-part documentary called The Beatles: A Long And Winding Road, well worth the watching.

After abbey road do the 2023 single “Now and then” the music video. It’s emotional and … gag.

Great album for sure… one thing about AbbeyRoad … it gas great songs but pRt of what makes the Album amazing is the second side … referred to as the ling one… it seemlessly transitions from song to song and should be listened to without stopping play… im excited to see your reaction next reaction… love the videos

Fun fact: One After 909 is actually one of the earliest John Lennon songs, having been written sometime in the late 50’s, and was first recorded in 1960. This was so early in their career that it was before The Beatles were called “The Beatles”; they were called “The Quarrymen” then. It was recorded 2 years before Ringo even joined the band, so it’s one of the few Beatles tracks to not feature him on drums. I’m not 100% sure about this but I’m assuming that the drummer on the 1960 recording was Pete Best, the man who Ringo ultimately replaced.

I love the raw purity of Let it be' 🪲🪲🪲🪲🍏 💚🙏 its the fantastic Beatles ❤❤

"The Long and Winding Road " was Paul's grief that The Beatles were breaking up. You can almost hear tears in his voice in this song! Paul hated the added orchestration to this song. To me, " For You Blue" sounds very Hawaiian!

Interesting fact this is the only Beatles album not produced by grorge martin … the producer is actually Phil Spectre

If i were you id look up Let It Be Naked for a couple of alternate, stripped down versions. Across the Universe and Ling and Winding Road are both far better in the naked version. Edit...had to comment after the title track. Its definitely a stunner and probanly my favorite sing to see oeople hear for the first time. It's the kind of song that, if rhey had never recorded another thing, would still have given them lasting fame all in it's own.

Dig means LIKE. He could say that he likes anything, but he said pony

Elmore James was a blues artist who used a lot of slide guitar, I seem to remember.

The reason people insist on listening to let it be before abbey road is because they didn’t actually know that would be the last album (and it wasn’t they made another one right after) but they were heavily drifting apart at this point. This album to me represents them trying to connect again by returning to their old style and old numbers (one after 909, for you blue, etc) while also in some cases mourning what they used to have (let it be, long and winding road, two of us, and even across the universe; John sings nothings going to change my world cause he knows his world was changing and he didn’t want it too). Paul sings Get Back to where you once belong as a rallying cry to them all, they have to return to each other and make it work. Then with that feeling they work on the masterpiece that is abbey road.

I have much to comment about! Where to start... Well, this Beatles journey really was a long and winding road for you, and I'm glad you took it. This moment is like the last 30 minutes of an incredible movie, or the last few chapters of a favorite book. I know what's coming, and I'm excited for you that you're going to experience it, but sad that it's nearing the end. What you said about other KZfaq reactors, there's truth in that...most do not seek the larger context and are happy to just hear a couple of songs without knowing the bigger picture. Yes, this is music, but it's also knowledge! I like that you are now able to compare and contrast the overall sound of Let it Be to their earlier work. I was like YES, THIS. They were absolutely trying to "get back" to their roots. And the thing was, they made it sound gooooood. Funny that you pointed out that you weren't really feeling "One After 909" but you recognized that was the sound they originated with. That song is actually one of Lennon and McCartney's oldest songs that they ever wrote together, when they were teenagers! They tried recording a version of it in 1963, but it wasn't working for them, so it was never finished. This sped up bluesey version on Let it Be, with Billy Preston on keyboards (at this point they needed Billy around to keep the peace and to inject some new elements into their sessions) is the result of their waiting until the vibe was right. As for my top five...I honestly can't pick, I need the whole album as it is 😆

I told you it helps to get up and move to The Beatles! haha

Having puzzled over the meaning of the phrase 'Dig a Pony' for many a long decade (not continuously, you understand, but from time to time) I have finally reached the conclusion that it means (Tara-tara, drum roll...) 'I like taking a cr*p'. The word dig meaning 'like/ appreciate/ understand' was common beat(nik) slang in the post war, late 40s and 50s period, carrying over into the 1960s and beyond. Read Jack Kerouac (On the Road and Old Angel Midnight are good, or there's the Dharma Bums) for a glimpse into this fascinating art (mostly poetry, then music) movement and subculture that gave the Beatles part of their name. Look up the Beat Poets, and Beat music/ the Merseybeat sound (from the River Mersey on which Liverpool was built). The word 'pony', as well as meaning: a small horse, a small dancer, a small measure of alcohol, or 25 pounds in British currency, can also mean ordure or the process of passing it. In that last sense, it's derived from Cockney (London working class) rhyming slang 'pony and trap', meaning cr*p. As with 'apples and pears' for stairs you can drop the rest of the phrase and just use the first, non-rhyming word, 'apples' to represent stairs. The original purpose of this coded style of speaking is said to have been for the purposes of keeping criminal activities secret, especially from police or would-be informers.

haven’t even finished dig a pony yet and I’m obsexxed with your editing in this vid already. edit: across the universe is fsfs my fav beatles song, profound song

The compilation of singles not found on any of the albums you reviewed is called Past Masters Volume One and Past Masters Volume two. So if you want to hear those songs (and trust me, you definitely want to hear those songs), then you should probably plan on reviewing those two albums as well. Peace

Two of Us will always be my favorite Beatles song. Tenacious D covers Money For Nothing/Beatles Medley It Rocks

1 after 9.09 is an early song-writing effort from their teenage years. The lyrics and form appear to be inspired by one the Beatles' early musical heroes, Chuck Berry, a (black American) pioneer of rock n roll. His songs Nadine and Maybelline are all about dashing around endlessly after a frustratingly elusive woman on various means of transport from buses to automobiles. Somehow he can never quite catch her. 1 after 9.09 has that same theme of racing around in a futile effort to catch up with a girl, this time involving trains. (The train after the 9.09 am or pm train, specifically.) This is how they learnt their craft, by copying the song writers and performers they most admired, always trying to add their own original twist, until they could write entirely original songs of their own. And this is the stuff they were 'getting back' to towards the end of their time together - their early inspirations and the basic driving rhythms of rock n roll..

Those early albums need a full remix like these late albums got. One day.

Elmore James was a old blues artist

Looks like we got ourselves a Phil Spector fan boi!

Let It Be…Naked is a re-release they did that was more in line with their original intention. It’s pretty good but not as good.

This is the one Beatles album I actually won’t listen to. I’ll only listen to stripped down version. Way too much orchestration and compression here

❤❤

The break up of The Beatles is thought of as part of the decline of the British Empire. The people knew it was the end after Let It Be, John had already done 2 records with Yoko, Paul already had a solo album promoting about, which John thought was using the break up as promo for his solo album. George already had like 30 plus songs ready for a double solo album. This version version which you heard of the Let It Be album was not the original idea, it was supposed to be a stripfown version without overdubds. In the 90s it came out as Let It Be...Naked. Pleaaaaaseeee when you finish everything but before the solo quest, do the Love album!

It's a good album but get ready for Abbey Road!

Led Zeppelin are the 5th biggest selling music artist of all time for good reason (Note: The Beatles are the #1 biggest selling music artist of all time). Do yourself a massive favor. Review Led Zeppelin before any of those other artists you mentioned. You can thank me later. Peace

Iconicist is not a word. You should say Most Iconic. Iconic is so overused.

Funny that my most hated Beatles song is The Long and Winding Road. Both my favorite and least favorite on the same album.

And lets not forget! all that Organ playibg is by the invited and talented Billy Preston.. he plays all in Abbey Road' too ! Joining the Beatles..one more 🪲in the family 😂❤😂❤ billy is seen in the film.

Don't forget to react to the " Hey Jude ", album ! More fire and lightening ⚡️🚀🪲🪲🪲🪲🍏🙏💚
