The Long and Winding Beard That fell off, off my face Will never disappear That hair will find a place It’s always growing here Grows upon my face The wild and windy hair That the blade shaved away Has left a pool of beard Crying for my face Why leave me standing here? Let me know the way

Cute, very cute. Please be careful of the ground you are treading. I saw a movie where the protagonist sang/performed things from memory. He didn't alter his past. He stayed true(as best he could) to the original. He breathed new life into an audience hungry for the sounds. He was aware of that ground. He respected the Holly past.

The End was the last song that all 4 of them recorded together in August 1969 a month before john quit. I me mine was recorded but needed overdubs and this was done in January 1970 by Paul George and Ringo as john had already quit so tecnically soekaing The End is the last song they recorded as a band but I me mine was the last song to be finished

louise_xo I agree! I love that song and it is a main memories from the film “Let it Be” when was shown in first run in ‘69. I didn’t realize so many people thought it cool! If memory serves, I think it was the first new Beatles song in the film. For the punters who would say “Don’t Let me Down” isn’t rock and roll, think about this: any ‘50s/‘60s pop song that has only two chords qualifies as, at least, aspiring to “rock and roll” status.
I really enjoy this channel.

Let It Be has always been an underrated album, yet it produced three of the Beatles number one hits: Get Back, Let It Be and The Long and Winding Road.
The stripped-down "Across the Universe" version on Naked is the best on that album.

Except they stripped out the women's voices, which the Beatles *specifically* wanted, and got rid of the coda to Get Back. Personally, I think the version of Don't Let Me Down on Naked is far superior to the previous release.

@xxx xxx: Thank you. I get sick of hearing Spector denigrated for picking up the Beatle's slack and making Let It Be palatable. He, in fact, did exactly what a producer is supposed to do, polishing out rough spots and covering mistakes. Much of it was out of key and the singing flat because of John's being stoned on Junk and Paul high on Cannabis. If the lad's had given a shit they could've been bothered to stick around and finish the project, but like they were apt to do they plunked the un-fun work in someone else's lap and pranced off to the next shiny object.

A fantastic album. Dig A Pony, I Me Mine, Across The Universe are standouts for me as well as Dig It. Dig it is one of the most underrated Beatles songs ever, I was sad to see it left out on the naked version but glad we have the full original version in the movie. Don't Let Me Down isn't actually on the album but from the era and that song remains today to be my favourite Beatles song ever!

Let It Be is my favorite Beatles album, and one of my favorite albums overall. Two of Us is a happy and fun acoustic track, reminiscing on our childhoods. Dig a Pony is a classic, original, rock song, with an amazing riff, solo, and (nonsense) lyrics from John and Yoko. Across the Universe is just beautiful in every way. One of my favorite songs ever. I Me Mine is a great George track that shows the tension and crumbling of the band and their egos. Dig It is fun improvised wordplay that leads into Let It Be. Let It Be is one of the best songs ever recorded. Maggie Mae is a fun reference song to their early days, one of the first songs Julia (Johns mother) taught John. I’ve Got a Feeling is a great collaboration between Lennon and McCartney that is also a classic rocker, like Dig a Pony. One After 909 is also a reference to the early days, as its one of the first songs they recorded as a group, rehashed as a rock song. The Long And Winding Road is an emotional love song that demonstrates heartbreak and loneliness. For You Blue is an admittedly quirky song but still fun wordplay from George. Get Back is a rocky classic that really gets you hyped and singing. Don’t Let Me Down (not on the main album but released as a single and the remake album) is a beautiful love song written by John about Yoko. Overall I absolutely love this album. Many of the tracks refer to the past and the “good time” as John puts it in I’ve Got a Feeling. It was them knowing the band would be over soon, as they were all miserable during those times, but at the same time enjoying their music. There’s one word that represents everything on this record. Every song. Every note. The one word that describes this album perfectly is: Bittersweet. Because it was soon after that the Beatles were over.

Honestly let it be and abbey road were just great albums to end it on bittersweet for sure but at least they seemed to go out on a high note and with bangers overall. Sadly too many bands let the tension and fame eat at them away resulting in mediocre follow ups.

It is funny tho how Paul and Ringo are saying how friendly the sessions were and how much fun it was yet John and George always said it was very tense and alot of arguing with John even describing the sessions as 'Utter Hell'
One after 909, and I’ve Got A Feeling are the best on this album. IMHO
Love your videos about The Beatles. Loved them growing up, and to me, I never get tired of listening to them. Keep up these great little insights - even if it is something already known by some, it may not be known by all.

The "hardest" album in our house for the longest time was from The Carpenters. So, you can imagine how The Beatles would definitely be verboten. She's now eighty-something and has mellowed A LOT, but it was hard following the music scene 50 or so years ago.

You mentioned, and it is widely considered, that the Beatles had been retired from the road for a very long time. A look at the calendar paints a different picture: The Beatles' last concert appearance was at Candlestick Park in San Francisco, in August of 1966. Their appearance on the roof of Apple Records, was in January, 1969. This is a span of less than 2 1/2 years! It's remarkable, because the band was so prolific in the studio during that period, and their image changed so much in that time, that it seems to everyone that is was an eon. It is the perfect example of the expression "It's not the years; it's the mileage." Great video, as always. Thanks to you and to Lea for your ever thoughtful, respectful, and loving treatment the world's favorite band. If Peter Jackson puts half the heart into his film that you put into your videos, it will be a joyful masterpiece!
Hyped for the book and movie!
Underrated album xx
Love this mini-series with the albums!
Two of us great song
"Let It Be" is my favorite Beatles album of their "official" releases, but I think "Let It Be...Naked" is the better version of those recordings. The only things I didn't like about it were the title and the running order of the songs (as I was use to the running order of the songs on the original album). I have an old bootleg VHS copy of the film "Let It Be" and had been hoping they would release an official DVD of the film. Looking forward to seeing a new version of the documentary.

Always good to see Sir George Martin again, the TRUE 5th Beatle. Without his guidance at the start, amazing production, even his own musical contributions, the Beatles story would be far different from what it was.
It seems entirely fitting that 'The End' should be their final song. It wraps up the journey brilliantly.

Criticize Spector if you must but he did a damned fine job considering the mess he was left with. The Beatles walked away and left him to his own devices. I'm impressed with his minimalist approach in light of the fact that he was the father of the Wall Of Sound recording technique.

I will always think of Abbey Road as the final album, but Let it Be has so many wonderful moments. 'I've got a feeling' and 'Two of us' feel like real Lennon-McCartney collaborations, and the line 'You and I have memories longer than the road that stretches far ahead', suggesting they have spent more time together in the past than they will in the future, really foreshadows their future relationship.

I bought a region 1 (ntsc) dvd of the Let It Be sessions and the rooftop gig. It cost me a fortune but it was worth it. I look forward to seeing the new documentary.
Really enjoy the channel. Can you tell us more about your background? Are you a full time musician and song writer, etc.?
I love the album because it is very raw....In my top 5
I got to see "Let It Be" in a movie theater when it first came out. Totally depressing. Unlike watching "A Hard Day's Night" six years before, where I couldn't hear a note of the music or a word of the dialogue because the screaming in the theater would not stop, when I saw LIB there were 4 people in the theater (counting me). Quiet, like a funeral. But a couple of years later I got to see "Concert for Bangla Desh" and while it isn't all 4 of them it is a fantastic show.
Billy Preston is hardly talked about. I just think he has a deep and intriguing life story, too. I think he transforms the group musically. I think that no one in history has quite sounded like Billy. In a way, a slight air of magic to his way.
Another fact I’m sure everyone knows but whatever: One After 909 is one of their first songs ever written but they ended up scrapping it and then having it return on the Let It Be Album. You can find the original recording from the early 60s on the Anthology 1 box set
Can't wait for the new documentary. I wish that there would be a re-release of the original one, though. Maybe something like Blu-ray Director's Cut containing the original film remastered or sumthin
Saudades infinitas do John...
Abbey Road is one the way I hope love your videos by the way
Really enjoy your Beatle posts. Do you by chance have a copy of the original film? If so could it be screened on KZread without lawsuits etc?
Looking forward to the additional new footage. I hope that on balance, the good and not so good times are included in the new film. Since half the group are gone now and cannot give their approval to the new project, you will risk the change of revisionist history if the negative aspects are not addressed in some fashion.
the 2 original Get Back albums from 1969 engineered by Glyn Johns are a remarkable chapter within the gruop's history. these two albums deserve to be officially released. they are amazing
Thanks! I watched The Get Back film and noticed tge problems & gpod stuff.
I saw a part of _Let it Be_ in a theater once. A local theater was having an event where they showed all the Beatles' movies in a marathon. I went to it, but I didn't like _LiB_ so I left early. That was in 1980 or so.
Is the HollyHobs a band or a stage name? Either way love your stuff man! Soothing voice, interesting footage, funny jokes, (Beatles bunch comes to mind), etc, and etc!
