  • @davidratchliffe u yanks didn't do crap it's all England that made music but all the yanks sing about now is drugs money music should be what it was like in the 60s

  • Dear @studio9jam, If it wasn't for us "yanks" and our rock&roll there wouldn't have been any Beatles now would there. I totally agree with your bass comment though.

  • studio9jam--You have to be a present day musician is all I can say. Psychotics in insane asylums couldn't equal your stupidity, and any normal person would know what comment I'm referring to. You are not worth my time, I feel sorry for you like I do for the mentally handicapped. You need supervision by an adult when you write to the public. How are you feeling today? Have you been a good boy? Bye Bye!!!

  • This song is pure John Lennon. He's cautioning all the Beatles fans that a revolution must start in your mind -- the way you think -- not by throwing bricks through windows. Anyway....great live performance by the best band ...ever!

  • This really freaked out the squares, back in the day.

  • @studio9jam, you my friend are an absolute, grade A penis.

  • @studio9jam, you are an absolute plonker mate.

  • hggdihgjfdlhi78uyh5io8y9o38yu[­rpj[pjro3mlkoahci;wlbnkcm;lkmc­lfkijhpkjnfl/sfkj;kghoieruhiph­vunbkluypoaehnv;laih;ewhrbn,;g­jkbhrsl;kiuefvilealkjlei0tget

  • What would the world be like if John was never killed? better...... maby (c)rap, hip(shit) hop wouldnt have taken over

  • oh,now i know why there was 2 separate videos.

  • @studio9jam

    Paul was actually one of the best to ever strap on an electric bass. His parts were always so much different than an average player because he was a guitar player first and actually studied classical piano. There are other bassists who have done amazing things with the instrument like Stanley Clarke for one, but Paul should never be referred to as 'not really able to play'. I would challenge any bassist to come up with better bass lines for any Beatles song.

  • @studio9jam You need to go back and do a little more reading on the subject. The Beatles sang the vocals live over the pre-recorded instrumental track as did most of the performers on The

    David Frost show because his studio audiances were quite large being anywhere from 800-1200 people. Wont see that on talk shows nowdays..

    I wont even comment on your Paul could not play the bass comment as it is laughable and shows you are probably a clueless yank....

  • @studio9jam Well...According to google and all the internet ive search and Paul/Faul is the best bassplayer and one of the most bestselling artists in the world

  • I love the Beatles!!!

  • dirty hippies in this one

  • THOUGHT THIS WAS ON THE SMOTHERS BROTHERS SHOW?[SCUSE MY CAPS I HAVE EYE TROUBLE AND I GUESS MEMORY TROUBLETOO!]

  • @ abingdon66 Billy Preston is on keyboards.

  • @eyedelon

    Nope, Nicky Hopkins.

  • Who's playing the piano?

  • onemellowdude i agree completely now its just songs a bout F******,shooting and other things and they use the word niga too much. and also my spirit went to rock bottom when George Harrison died

  • @onemellowdude 80's new wave ha! what a load of rubish

  • This song is freaking awsome, this is what we called beatles rock!!

  • it is definitely live, but who is playing the keyboard? Sounds like a Fender Rhodes 88 - maybe it's on tape?? sounds totally live, though - great song and super rare as a live cut, thanks so much for posting

  • I always find it weird that this is later Beatles, getting near the end, but George is still only 25. It's crazy, they'd already done almost everything they'd ever do together.

  • IT sure was fun growing up hearing all these songs on AM portable radios walking to school! Boy we were the luckiest to have experienced the 60's and 70's as youths! :D

  • @jazzynet1  speak for yourself whitey 60's werent very good to us lol

  • I love George's look toward Paul right before he yells at 0:06. Fuckin epic.

  • MES PLUS BELLES ANNEES

  • This is the coolest rock intro i've ever heard in any rock song. I even edited it to be my message tune on my cellfone. The intro always give me a shock. LOL

  • Massa demais! Pense numa banda porreta! Esses caras deixaram um mega legado!

  • the seven people who dont like this,must not like good music

  • should have been the official video for the tune like the great hey jude one in here

  • should have been the official cideo for teh tune like the great hey jude one in here

  • The last sighting of Paul's original "Cavern" bass? It was stolen shortly afterward from Twickenham Studios where this was filmed and not seen since. Can you imagine? Some S.O.B. is hiding that bass and maybe taking it out to look at every once in awhile. Where could it be??

  • Why isn't George playing the main riffs to this song...

    Ughhhh John steals the limelight from George

    He had so much potential

    It's really sad to say that both George and Ringo both were better off when they started their solo careers

  • I think they're singing live to the track. Paul misses it @ 1:38 - if not who's playing Fender Rhodes?

  • love that version 0.40 when he sing *dunt u know that you can count me out * he wishper "in" just after

  • Hahaha John at 2:04

  • At 2:56 I think Paul made John very angry :-D

  • @onemellowdude no it didnt i hate when people say that what about paul hes the BEST BEATLE and if you dont like it dont look at it

  • Very imaginatively filmed, with quick cutting and close ups.

    This is thought music.

    I guess artists back then had something to say.

    Don't know if anyone's actually thinking these days.

  • This song is just amazing i love ittttt !!!!!!!!!!!!

  • this is the first ive seen george use a les paul

  • 3 geniuses in one band. For the ages folks!!!

  • Folks, they don't make them like they used to...

  • the piano is played by billy preston,this isnt really live they had this filmed and sent to the david frost tv program (this is the single version) it is not on any album the slower version is on "the beatles" aka the white album and the single is on the beatles again aka hey jude a collection of singles

  • Who is playing the piano near the end? It's in the mix.

  • @Polyinstrumentalism Nicky Hopkins played piano on Revolution.

  • Awesome! Great idea!! Like new version!

    Recorded with live vocals but miming to the original instrument tracks!

  • love it <3

  • Not the same as Take 1 from the Smothers Brothers

  • music go down threw a hill the day that john lenons died.. beatles for ever the beatles alwayd gonna be the fathers of pop and rock music..

  • @TheMarito30 If you're gonna rip off a comment for thumbs up, do it with correct grammar.

  • The beatles for eva !

  • Great song - as most of Lennon's were - this one is remarkable for the ammount of recorded overdrive - something taken for granted these days but unheard of before this... I think.

  • Paul's scream in the beginning gives this version a country feel to it!

  • Great. And I love how George looks like he can't be bothered, all the time.

  • I'm pretty sure the U.S. version was sent to the Smothers Brothers Show, since they also had the Hey Jude video

  • undoubtedly they are singing live over the pre-recorded backing track. still cool vid.

  • the beatles!!! the band best the worl!!

  • i thought there was no backing track for this version? and that's why paul does the scream at the beginning instead of john?

  • I wish there was a version with the raw audio in the middle without the studio version overdubbed on it (you can tell because of the piano).

    anyway, they were amazing, I wish they toured in 68 and played this, white album songs, maybe taxman from revolver and pepper + reprise from sgt pepper,

    they could have done it and it would have been awesome, new tours with a new set list.

    damn, I wish they were still around showing everybody what a real band is like.

  • @kainthevampireduck The reason they were able to make this music is because they STOPPED touring.

    After Candlestick Park, the screaming teenybopper aspect of their careers happily ended, and they were able to sit down and right some serious music.

  • @wheelinthesky300 I know, they wouldn't have developed as artists, but after a break, I wish they did some tours, some stuff from "revolver" or "pepper" is unplayable live, but some songs are, so they could have done a very good set list for a 68' tour. (even including earlier stuff that they didn't perform live, like "drive my car", just to name one).

  • Comment removed

  • the music sounds exactly as the studio recording. also, you can see that John and George are just doing simple strumming motions that don't match with the guitar parts.  the vocals appear to be live though.

  • @utooobuuuser

    John got the very distinctive distortion sound on his guitar by turning the input gain up on the recording studio console. I've done that myself (before I knew that's how they got their sound), and I don't think you could really get it live.

    George isn't playing the lead bits. The Beatles almost never actually played live in their "videos". Such a shame. Still great to watch them.

    PS: YouTube is spell-checking "Beatles" as wrong. LOL!

    ThanX Benji

  • love the "chubee doo wop" lol....and john and paul panting hahahahah

  • i must say firstly that i agree with all the previous & erudite comments...but as i have often stated: the Beatles in 10 yrs ( 1959-1969 ) showed an exponential & sophisticated growth in their music that is on par with any Jazz or Classical composer...i say this as an avowed Jazz & Classical music lover

  • @MST3Kfanatic Yeah, this is a long way from "She Loves You, Yeah, Yeah."

    If The Beatles had broken up in 1965, they would have been remembered as an English version of Gary Lewis and The News.

    It was their last 4 years in which they made a real mark in the culture.

  • @wheelinthesky300

    You're thinking of Gary Lewis and the Playboys. Huey Lewis and the News were an '80s band, and a good one. But you're right about the Beatles and the mark they left in those last years.

  • @sebradfield Right

    -Gary Lewis and the Playboys

    -actually, a good band with a number of hits.

    But there weren't deep philosophical musings in their songs,

    nor the complex diversity in musical styles and orchestration,

    as was the case with the Beatles 1965-1970,

  • Huskyjerk is dead on, it's music dubbed over live vocals.......shame shame me lovelys...lol

  • edited out george saying "john's mic is shit"

  • @mercyhurstchic. it's at 0:19 watch?v=1jWDeOu4Rv4

  • disorted guitar= win

  • Greatest band of ALL time !

  • Sneaking suspicion that, while the vocals are live, the instrumentation is recorded.

  • Don't know, but the Beatles are so good they seriously could have done it with yukes and ringo could have pounded out a back beat on the floor and it would have been great. But you are right my friend.

  • R.I.P. geroge and johnn :[

  • I love th shoo wee do bob! towards the end!

  • They were musical geniuses. No doubt. I will always love Paul, John, George, and Ringo! R.I.P John and George

  • John is a music legend and always will be R.I.P.

    George too R.I.P

  • check out the "lobelia sound" revolution

  • I don't know, I kinda like U2

  • nice cameo by the '61 hofner

  • I'm not being sarcastic but I hadn't realized that he was playing his Hofner.

  • bookkeeper57

    thius version was made after the white album on the single for Hey Jude

    and yes lennon wrote it

  • it cut out the part where george says johns mic is sh*t

  • What a fantastic performance....

  • twickenham studios, david frost show

  • what year did they perform this?

  • greatest band ever...musicians...poets...sin­gers...and they were just so darn cute...and how sexy!

  • i think paul was always the cutest beatle!

  • Funny, but Revolution is Lennon's song.

  • No it's not. It's on the White Album, released 1968. This is the single version, B-side to Hey Jude. The music here is playback, but they do sing live.

  • White Album it is; but didn't Lennon write this one?

  • @flowerdoodle no doubt Ringo was the MAN!

  • ringooooo<3

  • They sure were a good live Band.

    But all this Hero Worship is a bit beyond the mark.

  • After watching this one, you can see they recorded this performance the same day more than once. This one has bad lighting behind John's head from one camera angle, which was fixed for another take, I am guessing.

  • yep, they did two takes, one in ntsc format for the united states that was played on a show whose name I don't remember, and a pal format for europe and I think that one got played on the david frost show.

    I think the anthology version is a combination of both takes, too bad they screwed up the sound overdubbing the studio audio on it :( I prefer the raw live audio

  • Fantastic Beatles!!... Ringo is absolutey adorable and what a great personality for them. Where would they be without Ringo!

  • are you a dumbass?

  • are you?

  • no im not the one yelling at the poster of the video for saying "the title says it all enjoy!" whats your logic for freaking out at him?

  • im sorry i shouldn't have said fuck i just enjoy swearing on here cause i cant in real life i have no life im a 30 year old virgin who still lives with his parents and drwas porn cartoons to pleasure his self

  • oh wait thats you

  • Astounding.

  • this is the best version peroid, i love the distortion they had, gave it a heavier sound.....

  • @pyreal1979 Dude the beatles had the sickest distortion EVEA!!!!!!!!!!!

  • @pyreal1979 they invented metal!!!!!!!!

    Helter Skelter!!!!!!!!!!!

  • @pyreal1979 yup just like on the 45 rpm ps this was my fav tune in fall of 1968

  • This will never happen again, in this case history wont repeat itself.

  • But when U talk about destruction

    Don't U know that U can count me out

    In

    Paul's Face :(

  • Amazing. Even to this day they still have such an impact on all music that is produced. Awesome

  • AMAZING! What legends!

  • According to The Complete Beatles Chronicle, by Mark Lewisohn: There were two clips filmed for Revolution, which were largely identical to each other but had some lighting differences.

    The Beatles - in more typical three guitar and drums set up - adding a new vocal track to the pre-recorded EMI backing track, blending the fast style of vocals from the B-side version with the lyrics from the slow " White Album' ( Revolution 1) recording, at this time unissued.

  • Great live version, with Billy Preston on piano I presume

  • Nicky Hopkins.

  • thank you

  • Love this. Aren't mic stands supposed to hold microphones steady?

  • Legends.

    Icons.

  • 2:04

  • This is a great song. Thanks for posting it

  • listen to that bass man

  • mucho better than white album

  • A little kick in the ass of the left thinkers...

  • More like, a big kick in the ass to all the "right thinkers"

  • A kick in the ass to be more pro active.

  • The Beatles are the best forever!!!!!!!!!!

  • So if this was live, where was Billy Preston on keyboards?

  • I think I've figured it out: the instrumental tracks were pre-recorded and only the vocals were live.

  • According to this wikipedia article, I'm right - all except this: it was Nicky Hopkins on keyboards, not Billy Preston.

  • You're right about the pre-recorded backing track, but Nicky Hopkins was on the keyboards, not Billy Preston.

  • Comment removed

  • hahah ringos face :P 1:11

  • "MMMMMMMMM, braaaaaaaaaaaaains!"

  • LOL

  • they look so fkn cool in this vid,and it sounds cool as

  • just to clarify a couple of comments on next page....George was lead on Let it Be (not John) and categorically not Eric Clapton. George brought Eric in to play lead on While My Guitar Gently Weeps and that was his involvement.

  • Simply put: The greatest rock n roll band of all time.

  • There will be no end to discussions about BeaTle music, ever! Again, there are 2 genres of music; 1) The BeaTles,

    2) All others. Amazing

  • speaking as a genuine Liverpudlian (born in Oxford St Maternity hospital as were some of the Beatles too!), I witnessed a life-changing performance by the fab-four themselves in '65 in the Theatre Royal, Blackpool - for FREE! I was only 8 years old when my older cousin Dianne who worked in the theatre managed to get us access to the Beatles 30 minute sound-check before their performance that evening.

  • puta que o pario !!!!! muito bom!!!!

    BEATLES 4EVERRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!

    Mais uma fã do Brasil!!

  • paul took of his pickguard because thats a right handed bass taking the pickguard off makes it look normal played with left hand. you can tell because otherwise the knobs would be up top.

  • its left handed. the knobs are on the bottom on hofners. and nearly all other guitar/basses.

  • Paul's scream at the beginning is pretty wicked.

  • I love, love, love the way we're still chatting about these guys even now.

  • true dat brother

  • I much agree. Their like may never come this way again. I'm glad I was in HS in the mid sixties. Great, great, memorable music.

  • : )) and a little : (

  • nobody says that John was a great guitarist, i am still with john played the great guitar in the let it be song, the hard version one.

  • clapton on Let it Be..

  • great live musicians from beginning till the end!

  • actually that isnt entrirely true:P you see, once they blew up (and this is all true) all the screaming fans made it impossible for anyone, let alone themselves hear them play because the equipment was horrible. by the time authorities started to contain the people at the shows like make them stay civilized, they had gotten sloppy and paul and jonh had many pitch problems...if you dont believe me read their autobiographie. agree with you 100% that the beatles were the best band ever though.EVER!

  • OH COME ON!!!!!! the beatles didn't do shit like that!!! they didn't need to do shit like that!!!! there is no prerecorded anything on this....they were fantastic musicians, especially by then, and even though they get sooo much credit, they are STILL under-rated as musicians.

  • in All You Need Is Love they did the vocals, strings and brass live and the other instruments prerecorded. In this video the vocals are live but I don't know if the instruments are, where is the piano player, where are the mics to record the drums and listen to the guitars and look at John and George's hands, it seems like they are both doing the rhythm guitar and nobody is doing the solo guitar. Even on the late 60's it was hard to get a nice recording outside the studio, that's why they did it

  • 1:00

  • Thats not live...it seems to be but it is not. The last concert was at the roof of the Apple Records,

    It sounds differente from the 9 version anyways.

  • no, it's live...you can tell by the way they're using the microphones...

  • the vocals are live insturmentation is recorded

  • Why are they singing (live) to the prerecorded backing track? They could have pulled this off (truely) live.

  • In that time period, video cameras were of the "vidicon" image tube type, which is highly microphonic (sensitive to sound). Hence, if they were to play at real, concert levels, the image would have distorted heavily to the music.

    That's the reason MANY shows used playback in that era, while before that era, with the previous cameras (image-orthicon), they did not have that problem.

  • song changed my life

  • The Beatles changed my life

  • The "shoobee doo-wops" on on an alternate take, probably the demo version sound better. See the bootleg version on this channel.The DF show sounds like another alternate version they were probably trying out for the album which of course doesn't sound like the final version. I love the fact these guys look so understated.

  • John Lennon at the first refrain:

    "But when you talk about destruction...

    Don't you know that you can count me out (IN !)..."

    At 0:42
