The Beatles - Till There Was You - Live In Royal Variety - HQ

[425mandilynn]

Beautiful version--they did it even better live than they did on the recording. Paul sounds nervous, though; he's stuttering through the introduction. :( I <3 Paul!!

[scdevon]

It should be clear to anyone watching this clip that George Harrison was the musical glue that held the band together. By his own admission, John Lennon was a lousy guitarist and often "played" live with his rhythm guitar either turned way down or unplugged completely. Paul was an average bass player. Ringo was an average drummer at best. Their talents all blended beautifully, though.

[Tapiola2007]

@scdevon Agreed, The Beatles was the sum of its parts. However, I think you misunderstand their playing abilities: they all played the parts they were required to for the music they composed. George was shamefully undervalued - as guitarist and writer - within and outside of the group. But to describe Paul or Ringo as average! By what measure? Within their band they were the only suitable people for those roles. Same with John, who was not a virtuoso guitarist but was a marvellous musician.

the performance in that video was better thatn the performance at the ED Sullivan Show, for that song :)

[SolacePiano]

Honestly? WHY, WHY IS THERE A DISLIKE BUTTON ON THIS SCINTILLATING VIDEO?!?!

[becerrarwj]

oh what a sweet song 

[Armagedondpc]

what a beautiful song!!! I love it!!! thanks!!!

[xboostedbirdx]

Yes, All of todays acts can't touch them. And at 20 years old George playing that lead totally unheard of. As a musician, to us they were playing chord progressions in ways nobody even thought of. We were still playing three chords in those days, and we thought we were cool....yea right!

[bouncedrealitycheck]

You could put all the top acts in music today together in front of an audience and they couldn't do this. This song makes you see how those talented geniuses went from "Please Please Me" to "Yesterday."

Crazy Talent. Lovely.

[gambler731]

Incredible how much the live version sounds like the studio version but coming from the Beatles I'm not at all surprised!

[md47bot]

awesome

[beatletemps]

[Beatlemaniac1960]

[1762mp]

oh ringo what a great drummer. just perfect!

[WiliamatheMusician]

Great video! Thanks for posting. Also, the lyrics (though he makes them a little difficult to understand) are "In sweet fragrant meadows of dawn and *dew*." Not you. I honestly don't really care, I was just informing you for future reference.

[MsHoember]

A true genious. Also cute and handsome. These rarely come together.  Thanx Paul!

[MrHarryGlitter]

The only dislike is from Sophie Tucker.

[andrewm9999]

[kirchfam]

[Reginator3311]

Outstanding.

[paulftw4life]

hahah epstein made them play non rock and it was still awsome

[Joseypost1983]

he's so shittin' it here...awww

[trishbrazil]

oh why, why, why wasnt I born back then?

[pedrohrc91]

@trishbrazil porque senão nós estariamos muito velhos pra curtir a carreira solo do paul ahahahahahah (:

[RMCFShaunay1991]

1963?

[JennieRevolver]

@RMCFShaunay1991 yes 1963

[hostnothrill08]

sweetest thing ever

[shebax16]

i love the solo

[Tendoking]

@shebax16 Yeah, George's solo was very smooth.

[barkulator]

Young Paul was never mentioned as a great natural voice IIRC the way other singers were. But man, did that kid have pipes. They were all so good. George was a spot on great guitar player. IMO they were like three groups in one, all so talented and all could play the frontman part.

[75tm400]

My dad used to sing this song sometimes while he was driving or waiting for the fish to bite lol. I miss my dad.

[4132aqua]

♥♥♥♥♥

[musiclove4evr11]

Can someone explain the joke at the beginning to me

[walletboyKS]

@musiclove4evr11 ...Sophie Tucker isn't a "group"...she was an overweight singer in that era...

[walletboyKS]

@musiclove4evr11 ...Sophie Tucker was an overweight singer in that era...not a "group"

[Paulmaclover1234]

@musiclove4evr11 haha i didnt understand that either

[xXDizzyMissLizzyXx]

this has just got to be my favourite video on youtube. they all play so well, and for once they have an audience more appreciative of their music than their looks! (mind you, they do look good here, and all the time of course! but you get my meaning.) and to play in front of the queen mum at the royal variety! truly unforgettable, legendary beatles.

[onestupidman]

There was love all around--But I never heard it singing...

xoxo

[HeadGirl]

@onestupidman..... Till There Was You. x x

[HaWkBeAtLeSnElSoN]

I like this version better than Robert Preston and Shirley Jones'=)

[2012Grizz]

Not to take away from Paul's amazing singing and George's lead guitar work, but John Lennon's rhythm guitar part is a bitch for this song. Some of the chords are just ridiculous, good job Beatles!

[rockerr12595]

@2012Grizz yeah they are this whole song is very tricky for someone like me (I've only been playing for a year and a half)

[Tendoking]

Never SAWR them at all...gotta dig that accent.  Great song, and George was smooth on that solo.

[Caperucitamarilla]

Paulll i love uuu!

[duhhh187]

VOICE OF A GOD!

[420princessjen420]

i played this @ my wedding=== Paul is so cute here.... special song----

[laughlovelaura]

does anybody else notice he seems a little bit out of breath 0:10-0:20 then he starts signing and its like perfect breathing, i'd like to believe signing is more natural to him than talking,. its the only explanation for such wonderful sounds... -Laura age:14(:

[mockys2007]

best bassist in our time..

[musiconlyplease98]

what..another great beatles tune

[beatlespaullover101]

i love how paul moves his head when he sings its so cute lol

[stephrattigan]

I love this so much!x

[bboyemme]

dammmm george is AMAZING

[TheBeatlesfan1991]

the jazz chords George and john play make it difficult then you got the solo which is pretty intimitating.

[DanM25456]

you could tell that paul was having stagefright, but he still carried out one of the greatest live musical performances of all time.

[beatleswithanA1]

@DanM25456 ya. he kept like.. nearly hyperventalating. that happened to me on my first gig. but i was only 6 so that was expected.

[Waffleboy44]

Go george... the lad can certainly play

[iluv2fuck]

I love the this live version better. The recorded one is nice but i think it sounds better live w/more meaning and such smooth class

[PhillipShits]

haha this is fucking awsome. wat most people dont understand is this song, like all there songs, is fucking hard and really intricate, and yet they play and sing perfectly. george's solo is fuckin sick haha

[theclarkebloke]

doesnt get much better than this man

[sweetlorraine0]

Absolutely INCREDIBLE, stellar performance!!! They played it amazingly well, and Paul's vocal is SUPERB!!! It's not in the least worse than studio record! He sings live so well, so beautiful, flawless! BRAVO!! He kicks every butt with it! George also did great playing that sweet solo. Very VERY well!

[TheColts99]

Cool!

[VICTOR28CHARLIE]

i sing this in front off louis walsh and i think it melted heart, by craig craig glennon, can wait to sing with paul sean and ringo it will be the fab

[mase341]
