Awh, if you look at the date in the beginning it was John's 24th birthday. John's always been my favorite and I always loving watching their great performances, such as this one.
Enfilade fire from Paul's bass. He's the first of firsts to have changed the bass-playing concept. Now that everything's gone and forgotten, just read celebrity gossip about the divorce.
Love the little "hey" exchange between John and George at 1:28. One thing I always enjoy about their performances are the little by-plays among the guys. They don't just perform to the audience-- they keep up a running commentary among themselves! They were "real", as people at the time often noted.
This song is really underrated. This is the first of John's songs which has personal relevance. A lot of people think Help is the first song of his about himself but this is. It shows his personal struggle with finding himself. He once said part of him thinks he is a lose and the other that he is the greatest man alive.
It's obvious that I'm A Loser is live, but there's something suspicious about Boys. Look at Ringo's left cymbal (on his right). The only time he really hits it is when he does the crash, but other than that, he never touches the cymbals! I think the vocals may be the only live thing here.
More than likely. His voice would often mess up enough to throw him off key.
Also, after observing I'm a Loser again, the "live" quality can be questioned for this song too! At 1:22, you can hear a harmonica, but John's nowhere near his harmonica.
I think your right especially the harmonika part. However, around 1:40 George is playing the guitar, at least from what I can tell. often times beatles' live stuff sounds so great in terms of the instruments. Regardless, at least its obvious they do sing their stuff live.
this is a great early lennon song. No britney crap here. We are all losers when we die. That applies to all you rich overated celebs along with us mere peasants.

wow, nice point. Maybe they did it because Ringo's voice would break if he was trying to belt out lyrics over such a rocker?

What John on the harmonica. When he is done during thge bridge you can still hear it play a note or two. I may be have to agree with you.
