My mom was born in 1930 and she was my best friend and favorite person to spend time with and listen to music. She was around when The Beatles played the Ed Sullivan show and loved to sing _anything_ she loved. From Sinatra to The Beatles. Even some Motley Crue (Home Sweet Home) . I was able to take her to see Paul in 2020 on Easter Sunday and man, watching her sing the "Nah na na na's " during Hey Jude and so many others at her first stadium show is a memory I'll cherish forever. I also took her to Sinatra and that was another great night and it was just the two of us and we both had a great time. You're Mom sounds so cool man. God rest both our Mom's souls and yeah, I'll second that... I miss you Ma

It was the perfect way to go out granted John said in the Rolling Stone interview that he was pretty much done with the Beatles by the White Album. Paul kept it together. The Get Back doc shows both George and Ringo were getting sick of it as well but they came back regardless. It has to be really difficult for anyone to quit such a successful band but at the same time if they stayed together just for the fans or money the music most likely would have suffered. Yoko kind of got a bum rap. Many feel the breakup was her fault but it seems it was inevitable regardless. The only difference might have been John being a lot more miserable if not for Yoko in his life.

They say that The Beatles changed the world , I believe that and with this brilliant album their legacy is secure !

If I only could listen to one album for the rest of my life, I would be satisfied with this one

I was just eleven years old when I received an 8-Track stereo for Christmas. Along with the player I received three tapes: ‘Elton John’, ‘Crosby, stills, and Nash and Young’, and ‘Abby Road’. Best Christmas ever!

How a band so fraught with tension and chaos was able to create the greatest album of all time. It's poetic...

I bought every Beatle record as soon as it was released. (Sadly, I did not keep care and track of them over the years.) Anyway, I have always believed Abbey Road was their best of all. And that is saying a lot given the great stuff they had already produced. I just can't say enough about the Beatles. I remember their Ed Sullivan debut like it was yesterday.

If I’m taking a road trip for example, it’s the album that I can put on and listen to from start to finish and it’s riveting and deeply engrossing every time.

I’m grateful I got to take the entire ride. They influenced my life and music more than anyone. I think they wanted to present themselves as the best they could be on Abby Road. So happy George got his Two superlative songs on there…but they ALL contributed to each other in those recordings. Paul’s Bass lines and Harmonies on Something. They were ALL working their magic together for each other. Paul’s last line In the End…I think is the greatest single lyric in the history of rock.

When you look at the pictures of them and they are so young, it’s amazing the amount of creativity they had and all the accomplishments before they were 30.

This is very well-researched and told. The Abbey Road album is amazing. One could write and write about the quality of her songs and their flow from one to the next. “I Want You” is probably the heaviest Beatles song ever. It’s sudden stop, only to move to the panacea of Here Comes the Sun is an obvious example of the intelligence that Martin and the band brought to the project. But the most important thing of course is just the craftsmanship of the music itself. The beautiful balance of mood; never lingering too long on one idea: an album that deserves to be listened to from beginning to end (remember when we had the patience to do that?)

It amazes me , my teen years were chasing the Beatles music by trying to learn it , play it, and wondering why they quit. Today it’s understandable, but in 69, unthinkable

Their greatest album and probably the greatest ever. The flow from beginning to end is incredible especially for the 1960s. This and Sgt Peppers are their most complete and consistent albums.

In retrospect it is amazing to see just how right Paul was about so many aspects of Beatles music, management, and business.

Best album by anyone ever

This lp and dark side of the moon are by for two of the greatest of all time both lps all songs run together so cool.

I’m glad there was never a reunion..it makes them even more majestic even though a tragedy of epic proportions in 1980 sealed that from ever happening..and never forget the impact George Martin had in making the perfect timeless masterpieces that cannot be topped..it isn’t possible

If you're a Beatles fan, it's hard to keep a dry eye when you're listening to "You never give me your money".

Stupendous album!

A classic album.

Here Comes The Sun is my all time favorite, but I love the entire album. If the Beatles had not split up, they would have never come to their maturity as musicians individually. It was necessary as they all grew after the breakup albeit Jon's life was cut short. We will never know how he might have been in his old age.

I'm a cynical jerk and I really wanted to hate this video. But I did not. It was an awesome job and I thank you for doing the work. Abbey Road is a classic album and will always be. It's become a standard. It will outlast most music. I remember the joy I felt putting the vinyl LP on my little record player for the first time. And hearing "Her Majesty" at the end, being g surprised because it wasn't listed on the album cover. I got my first real stereo after that and would lay on the floor listening to Abbey Road with my headphones on just flabbergasted at the sound. Thank you, Beatles for giving us this one last piece of work before you went your separate ways.

I was still in the single digits when ABBEY ROAD came out and really, this was the first Beatles album I cared much about. My brother, nearly six years older than me, was big on the Beatles early on but I don't remember him having any of their albums past the "moptop" era. AR's significance to my own musical development was that it was this album more than any other that taught me how music worked, much less rock music. I remember sitting on the floor of my bedroom with a portable cassette player and a book of Beatles sheet music (transcribed for piano) and I would follow along between the tape and the book. My modern perspective is that it was AR where the Beatles tried, knowingly or not, to align themselves with the rock music of the day...and they mostly succeeded. When I say that, I don't mean necessarily that they came up short; in some ways, I think, they *led* and in other ways they *lagged*. That being said, if they weren't all sick of each other and sick of being "The Beatles" and all the baggage associated with that, it seems like AR could have been looked at in retrospect as a new kicking-off point. I'm reminded of the three albums the original members of Asia reunited for and how they got dramatically better as they went; "AR II" and "AR III" could have been like that. It would have also been a good time for the four of them to have really woodshedded and expanded what they could do as instrumentalists; when it comes to that, they were getting steamrollered by the Jeff Becks, Jack Bruces, Tony Bankses, Jimmy Pages, and Keith Moons of the world who were rushing up behind them. Alas, we go to war with the Beatles we have, not the Beatles we want. :)

John Lemon and Paul McCartney was one person. Paul John(athon) Pope. Hence Pope John Paul & John, Paul, George & Ringo. This is documented in radio and televisuals. If you take the time to call P.J. Pope and talk to him he will admit it. His number is ex-directory. So goggle him. Jah bless and much love, rock and roll might never die. Grand Ol Opry.

Well told detailed story of a great album of the greatest band ever, Thanks!

My elder sister gave me her used Beatles compilations Blue and Red. But «Abbey Road» was the first record I bought from my own pocket money. And I had to save several weeks for it... This was in the early eighties.

Great video. Really tells the story well. Perhaps the most perfect album in the history of rock and pop. It encapsulates everything about The Beatles in a single vinyl platter. Sometimes the sprawling brilliant mess of the white album is my favorite. Sometimes the great songwriting and expanding vision of Revolver is my favorite. Today Abbey Road is my favorite. Thank you.

The greatest group ever!

Absolutely! Greetings from a Beatles addict, 72 yrs old.

Ironically, in the iconic shot of them crossing Abbey Road, there's a Volkswagen Beetle parked on the side where George Harrison is crossing, perhaps a subliminal reminder of all the time they spent in Germany perfecting their act, or maybe just a subtle way to remind everyone there is always a 5th Beatle.....

Thanks for a fine presentation. I'm one of the many who's favorite album is Abbey Road. And in the end, my favorite Beatles song is I Want You (She's So Heavy), both for simple reasons. I was born early 1967 and when I grew up we never had a proper stereo with a record player, so at seven I made my mom finally buy me an original cassette. I inherited my sister's tiny Philips mono player, and couldn't stop playing it, like on a 350 km car trip to visit grandma. Mom must have gone slightly mad with me and Abbey Road in the back seat, as I was lying flat listening and trying to cure my car sickness. It worked, and perhaps mom somehow liked the music after all. Within a year my other sister nagged on her to buy a guitar, so grandma's donation to get a panel oven for my stone cold room turned into a Yamaha nylon 6-string. Nothing better could ever happen. My sister gave up learning early on, while I was devoted and played along with what still was my only tape, until it one day was unplayable tape salad. However, I learned the bass lines and tuned down the strings to make them sound deeper, and I could also play the heaviest, darkest and most intense riff in rock history. That's how I became a musician. Thank You Mom, and the Beatles!

The Beatles knew this was their grand finale. George Martin said everyone got along and it was a very happy album, and you can hear it in the songs.

Thanks! I hadn't seen this one. I'm seventy-four. The Beatles had so much to do with how I look at life and the world, even today. My opening to life, at four-teen years old, was nothing short of magical.

I agree Paul's vocal on this song is one of his best ever absolutely brilliant

The 2 best songs on the album are both George's songs.

My favorite Beatles album,hands down 🙌🎵 Btw,I had to enter in 4th decade of my life to not take George's masterpieces for granted! Better late then never,I guess!

Music Box, thank you for this, I really enjoyed it. This doc was at a good pace, had great pictures of the band, and gave much information about The Beatles! In 1964 age eleven, I went from baseball cards to Beatle boots and flare bottom pants and became a drummer! It was tremendous how they suddenly appeared with a powerful and enduring force and energy. They also really helped the US recover from the killing of our beloved president JFK just a few months before! It is astounding how much these four men reflected and influenced the entire world for decades! As said, what a blessing it was to have been alive, to have seen and felt it, and to have been a part of it! Yes, The Beatles are the greatest band in world history. And they are one of the biggest events as well!

You never give Me your money sums it all up for me. It had all the elements of their music wrapped into one 4 minutes song. A masterpiece.

I was born in 1959. I know that the Beatles truly are the greatest band ever. By the time I was 15, I owned every Beatles album made. My favorite is, and will always be "Magical Mystery Tour ", or "Abby Road". Then "Beatles for Sale! Or "Revolver". Rubber Soal is great, and I like Sargeant Pepper, but I love it, just not as much as "Introducing the Beatles" by Vee Jay records. My father, who was a prisoner in Flossenburg concentration camp 1941 to 1945, was a great fan of the Beatles though he alway said he hated them. My Dad bought the album when it came out. I love "Please, Please Me", but "Introducing The Beatles is more liked by me personally. My mother gave "Introducing the Beatles to my Uncle (who hated the Beatles) and i have never been able to find it..."I wanna hold your hand" must be listened to on "Introducing the Beatles !" I alway believe that you can't listen to the Beatles without listening to Badfinger! Badfinger's albums are integral to the Beatles. You all may not agree, but I don't care.😮

Hey fellow ‘59er. Abbey Road was my first ever album purchase.

A miracle they could come up with this when no one expected it, or could have blamed them if they had went their separate ways after the Get Back sessions. But then, they were the Beatles.

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

"Something" is an absoluetly Beautiful tune....

"Abbey Road" - The Beatles "swan song"!... But THE GREATEST album of all time!!! What a way for a band (the greatest band ever!!!) to end...

A really noteworthy, accurate and well balanced documentary. Music and lyrics need to be viewed in the context of the time they were produced and the point of developmental evolution of its creator(s).... in just 8 years the Beatles had gone from the raw and catchy tunes of their beginnings to the remarkable and complex music and themes of their final years. They had so many "firsts" in what they did over those years, commentators have lost count. They not only changed music forever but as we all know, the world too in so many ways. Given their world fame had rapidly surpassed anything or anyone else in modern history, they should each be given great credit for keeping their feet on the ground and retaining their common touch. John, Paul, George and Ringo - legends always who inspired countless future musicians. I am 65 years old and have yet to meet a single person who doesn't know the words or tune of a Beatles song.

This band haunted my whole childhood. So it's ending with Let it be and Abby Road was a kind of ending for me as well. Playing or singing in a band is simultaneously the best thing in the world, yet sad at the same time, because you can't go back & live it again, it is a unique experience. I suppose that is how it must have felt for them as well.

I never felt anything so deeply as all the Beatles songs and growing up with them was a joy particularly because my parents adored them as well. They were the soundtrack to our lives from 1963 onward including and especially the solo albums that followed. There’s never been another experience like it.

What a superb album! The best I have ever listened to. Forget about the dark side of the moon. This is much better. And we are talking here about the best two albums in the history of music.

Agree!! Eric said “It was a beautiful spring morning, and we were sitting at the top of a big field at the bottom of the garden,” the legendary guitarist added. “We had our guitars and were just strumming away when he started singing ‘it’s been a long cold lonely winter,’ and bit by bit, he fleshed it out.”

thanks paul...if not for his effort after Brian epsteins death we may not have had a completed project post 67...crazy how much vitriol he gets from some beatle fans...he was the main beatle from pepper on and really was the creative center for the last several years.

One reason he cops vitriol is people writing garbage like you. Time allotted to Lennon's music on Abbey Road was 19 mins 36 secs, for McCartney it was 17 mins 7 secs and that's being generous to Paul given 'The End' was really more of a group composition. On the White Album the disparity is even more marked we have Lennon with 43 mins 17 secs, McCartney with 28 mins 28 secs. Both John and Paul said 'Birthday' was written 50-50. Add back 'Don't Let Me Down' to Let It Be and they're roughly equal there. If 'Get Back' was on that album DLMD should've been too. No-one disagrees with that. We now know that John co-wrote 'Yellow Submarine' meaning they're also equal on Revolver. And I haven't talked about quality of songs which is subjective of course, and John arguably had the best songs on Pepper, MMT and Yellow Sub with 'Hey Bulldog'. FFS John had no fewer than 15 of the Esher demos compared with Paul 7 and George 5. A complete myth that Paul dominated the later Beatles period. Creative centre my ass.

I think Yoko got a bum rap. Granted she might have been a petty annoyance in the studio they were destined to break up regardless. Only difference would have been without Yoko John would have been far more miserable. As far as Georges song "Something" even John has said he felt that was the best song on the album even considering many feel Johns best studio work is on that album as well.
