  • I may have no life, but I think I could spend hours and hours watching and listening to the Beatles. Obsessed, yes? Embarrassed? Only for people who might think I'm crazy.

  • You can feel the tension between George and Paul here. Like when George kept going on talking and Paul gave him a look and said "Let's hear the tape"

  • omg I've watched all the beatles films and interviews and now i've watched the whole anthology.. what now?! :'D

  • Very poignant the four of them listening to the line "Once there was a way to get back home".

  • golden slumbers is so beautiful!

  • "you woulda known if you played on it cuz it woulda been how u woulda done it"-george

  • "foremost beatle expert george harrison"-paul ... george looks at camera and smiles... "i dont think youre on it"-paul "i dont think anyone else is on it"-george... george cracks up and looks away from the camera hahaha they were not cool with each other

  • fuq Ringo is ugly

  • Paul is the heart of the beatles

    John is the brain

    George is the soul

    Ringo PLAYS THE DROOMS!

  • haha "who was playing bass?" ....."well there was ringo"

  • So much respect for George Martin. It's incredible to see how razor sharp his memory of their studio recordings is in this video and also how he guided their sound without interfering with their creativity.

    RIP John

  • abbey road...........greatest album ever recorded. ever

  • 0:55 Paul: "Foremost Beatle expert, George Harrison."

    George: :/

  • you can tell theres still a little bit of friction between paul and george. everyone loves ringo though

  • 9:29 george =es como hacer una rumba rumpapapa rumpapa

  • it's so funny ... george martin still seems like the teacher or the adult authority and the guys still seem like the boys. even after all these years.

  • This is the first time I've seen this, it's fascinating! Thank you for posting this.

  • @Raskolnikov99282

    The reason George looks so old might be because he got cancer only a year or two after they did anthology. His health was probably already in decline

  • 5 people like Justin Bieber...

  • Hey Ringo looks like Mitch Hedberg here...

  • @gerry3x he does!!!!

  • George was playing bass here....Lennon had been in a car accident in Scotland

    and was in the hospital...Paul on piano...Ringo on drums...and George on bass...

  • Why foes George look the oldest?

  • Anyone know what Ringo says at 3:14? Sounds like he names a possible guy who may have played the bass part but I can't quite catch who.

  • @kingchief1000 In jest, Ringo offers the name Charlie Haden: he was/is a jazz double bass player.

  • @delacote60 Thanks, I thought it sounded like that.

  • disagrees ? Who cares anymore....you guys gave up and quit.

  • I love seeing them together. Miss you John.

  • Boy did George like busting Paul's balls!LOL!

  • I like at 8:33 when George giggles as they pan faders in and out. Paul: "With a bit of drums." George: "And a bit of loops." Tell me we're not witnessing a Beatles session!

  • Even though this video is almost 20 years old now (!), it's still magical seeing all three of them together in Studio 2.

  • @mcdstuff What is L.M.A.F.O.?

  • Supreme brilliance - the greatest band ever.

  • @mcdstuff ok, yo tambien voy escribir en espannol para asegurarme que Sie haben gut verstanden, a mi que me importa lo que ud oye o no, O si tienes discos de Gaga o Bieber. Lo que critico es que cada tonto en este youtube siempre tienen que estar nombrando esos cantantes. No les gustan (supuestamente), pero no existe un maldito comentario donde no los nombren. Haciendole publicidad de gratis, yo ni siquiera sabian quienes eran hasta que lei los chismes que aca escriben..

  • @mcdstuff  yes i know, i wish you all of these things.....is better if you listen to modern music, and not the beatles,

  • @Yosimar Modern music is noise. The Beatles music is creativity.

  • @mcdstuff i think you are very old for giving this kind of comment....

  • paul = he could be a cocky prick at times.

  • Seeing these three together is always touching and great, but at the same time it's like... REALLY obvious that John isn't there. I mean, of course he isn't, but it's like you look at the three others and almost wonder where John is and then go, "Oh. Right..."

  • happy birthday george

  • 9:34-9:36 made my life complete. <333333333333

  • The tension between Paul and George is very obvious. If George's Hand Made Films company hadn't gone under, this probably wouldn't have happened. George was very reluctant to do this because he still held contempt for Paul due to past business dealings. If you read the book "You Never Give Me Your Money" you would understand why. George's snippy remarks and facial expressions say it all.

  • @stigmajosh I totally agree with your assessment here. No amount of chanting Hari Krishna could wash away the seething contempt and outright hatred Harrison had for McCartney. I have an audio interview where Harrison very emotionally and filled with pent up anger spews out......"Paul McCartney ruined me as a guitarist". I have been a fan since 1964. I have seen alot of interviews and viewed alot of footage.....Harrison's later interviews were filled with controlled anger towards Paul

  • tears are flowing out......

  • I could watch stuff like this for hours, wish there were more. Call me crazy but personally, I would rather have had 8 hours of them reminiscing like than 8 hours of the anthology. But that's just me!

  • @iwillstom It's not just you! I feel exactly the same.

  • @iwillstom It's not just you, friend. I've always been fascinated by the "behinds", the "makings" of their songs. And these special features are gems to me. And for once, George laughs ! RIP George !...

  • The beatle expert no.1 lol

  • Arthur Askey!! ha ha ! Love and miss George X

  • What these four men did in that studio will never be replicated.

  • @tommyrock69 well why it should it be? Go forth and make your own magic, why try to replicate others?

  • @unfortunatebeam I think more of what he means is nobody has been quite so innovative since, I can only name a hand full of bands beyond the Beatles who even really come close to matching their musical genius.

  • @tommyrock69 John Lennon made other Musical Arrangements for themselves without George Martin's help.

  • These guys were musical genius icons!

  • @melapelasinparar are u retarded? lol

  • i dont even think george was that hip into doing the anthlogy thing in the first place. ya just listen and for the most part he is sarcastic and sometimes rolls his eyes and cuts his facial expressions when he and Paul get in a close situation.....

  • 2:02 Paul is still a big kid.

    2:26... Hey guys, just look at wikipedia

    Many people don't agree, but I think Ringo was a great drummer. Of course, he didn't do any "super solo", but he had more rhythm+art than any other drummer.

  • Comment removed

  • @melapelasinparar - I assuming you mean where's John on the record. He was in hospital in Scotland when they recorded this (2nd July 1969) having been injured in a bike accident the day before. He was dead when they recorded the interview here in 1995.

  • @melapelasinparar in heaven sadly :(

  • Comment removed

  • @melapelasinparar ????

    dead???

  • It's interesting how they mellowed out when they got older and could get other some of bad things in their final days. It's also understandable how George forgot the album that song was on, the did so many takes on things he probably just couldn't remember which is which.

  • @UltimateDarknezz999 they did takes but the reason george forgot the album is because on abby road paul tried to control everything and everyone notice what george says to paul a @ 2:08. its funny

  • @goldsmithstudent I thought Abby Road was the album that went really smoothly. Isn't is Let It Be that had all of the animosity and problems?

  • @chomsky88: Abbey Road was produced by George Martin in the manner of their previous albums and not like the experimental way that they recorded the troubled Get Back (Let It Be) project. They knew that quite possibly it would be their last effort together and were on best behavior to try to make it work one last time so that they go out with a polished work at the close.

  • Amazing how the Beatles can play their songs backwards and still sound great....

  • i always think of George martin as the fifth Beatle. The Beatles would have still been successful with out him but jeezz he is a genius

  • WHICH ALBUM WAS IT? George can't remember ABBY ROAD and Paul says FOREMOST BEATLE EXPERT GEORGE HARRISON! Is that great or what?

  • I LIKE IT RINGO IS JUST KICKIN BACK AND THINKING ....YEAH THAT'S ME THAT'S MY BAD ASS DRUM FILLS...

  • @mthrnatrsson1 while Paul sits on his hands and rocks back and forth :)

  • George is mixing two memories. The tape John listened backward was Rain and from that he had the idea of backward tapes. The recording of I'm only sleeping came after..

  • George got that shirt from Bill Murray that he used in "Lost in translation" right?

    LOL.

  • 7:40 PAUL is sooo funny! :D

  • gran momento en minuto 0:52 Paul y Ringo se mofan de Harrison, luego George responde en 2:38, ¡uf!, ¡pero el bajo fue john o George porque estaba en vivo!, luego en 8:20 george se mete en la consola pero demuestra que no era su fuerte, Paul siempre estaba en la produccion Lennon y HArrison eran mas bien hoscos en la produccion musical beatle. Martin le dice por la pista que movía "no hay nada allí". ¡pero que quimica tenían!

  • How great if John was on that room as well?

  • George played a Fender VI on 'Hey Jude'. However, there are photos of him playing a Fender Jazz Bass (4 string) during the Abbey Road sessions

  • george played bass!!!

  • If John were alive at this time, do you think he would have been a part of this film?

  • There must've been many years after the Beatles' breakup that grouping 3 of them together would've been impossible.

  • i love georges stretching in the beginning

  • To clear things up, George did play bass on this track.

  • mucha tension entre paul y george,george esta vacilandole a paul por todo lo que este le hizo,se ve,se nota,y eso mpaul todavia lo lleva como premio,para el resto de su vida.

  • I love Paul's reaction to George saying they had a six string bass. He snaps his finger "Yeah."

  • george looks like a hobo here

  • @theemmers15 You really think he cared? He's a fucking Beatle!

  • You can tell the tension between George and Paul can't you!

  • Help make my Album

    Im a Beatles fan and try to keep the essence of there music going

    Go On Only takes a minute!

    youtube.com/user/RussellEdmond­smusic?feature=mhum

  • hahaha i love how they dont know what instruments they were playing :D

  • George still very niggly with Paul about him 'taking over' during the last days of the Beatles. George Martin - indisputably the Fifth Beatle.

  • impresiomante vean el minuto 6:07 el platillo y vean un rostro justo en el mastil de la guitarra de lennom

  • I visited Abbey Road studios and missed Paul by one day .... then I had my picture taken walking across the famous crosswalk out front with a Chinese tourist lady I met...to this day I tell people it was Yoko.

    we met 2 guys from Holland looking for the same crosswalk

  • Ringo :D

    I love you Beatles <3

  • dear David Chapman, your dead !!!!!!!!

  • what year is this? george is so cute

  • It good to see they're still friends and can laugh about the old Beatles days

  • Thats good George dont sound like anybodys on it

  • Do you think if Johns ghost would of came up and joined the other Beatles, that they would be like oh hello cuppa tea like? No I think they would of messed their pants and all had heart attacks. It's funny how Lennon eyes up the grey haired man standing to the left in the doorway. He always did that to some people and I thought it was funny. I do love these guys and this is just too cool!

  • I'd like to add that no one in the next room seems to see John standing there. The more I watch this at 8:05 until 8:14 the more it looks like him shortly before he was mudered. He always wore that black cap did'int he?

  • Call me crazy-I know-I know, but from 8:05 until 8:14 in the back ground you can see John Lennon's ghost just standing there watching. At first I though he was talking to someone, but looking closer I see he is chewing gum (Which he did most of the time if you look back at old footage.) and getting into the music. Am I the first to discover this? This really was a Beatle reuion!

  • "Doesn't sound like anybody's on it" What a jab!

  • Richard Sinatra was not a Beatle, so they say.

  • Paul always was the handsome one... but George got hot as he grow older!!! He was kind of corky at the begining in 62, 63... 68 69 he looked quite handsome... but here he was a very hot fifty something guy!

  • Paul got owned on the Golden Slumbers part LOL!

  • You can tell Paul seemed somewhat hurt and uptight during the Golden Slumbers bit. I think he never meant any harm during those years...it was just the way he made music sometimes to get it the way he envisioned it. And of course the ironic thing is it was in fact George playing bass on GS. Either way despite their past they seemed to get on decent here. People think George looked super pissed but they dont realize that's how he always looks lol

  • Lol George couldn't help but say that comment about Paul playing all of the instruments and Ringo couldn't help but laugh...He's got a big head, but that's alright, he's just one of the guys...Mr. Macca

  • I bet John Lennon was peeking in on EVERY get together Paul, George, and Ringo had in the anthology bits. He was there :)

  • Everytime they talk of John it brings a tear to my eye. These boys will never be forgotten. NEVER.

  • la musica es infita con solo tres acordes its incredidle isnt it?

  • Ringo: How's that drummer doing that, George?

    George Martin: Oh, he had to be great.

    lol, I agree, Ringo was a great drummer! I love these guys so much! Beatles forevah! =D

  • @fifiesponja07 I agree. Ringo has always been a very creative and good drummer :D

  • @fifiesponja07 George Martin seems to disagree with their music arrangements!!!!!!

  • that backwards solo is boss

  • anyone know a torrent for these special features?

    (youtube loads slow for me, downloading the torrent would be quicker)

  • I love these guys!

  • see my video was named "bonche de monos" says your friends

  • wow really love this vdeo...i never saw paul, ringo and george acttiong like that, so natural kawaii!!! n___n

  • did Paul implied he doesn't read music? 0:47

  • @dnkan He didnt imply, he doesnt..

  • funny, since his father (was his?) played the trumpet... I would expect some musical training on his part... besides, some of his writing is very complex for someone who can't read music.... simply Amazing! Beatles FOREVER!!!!

  • @dnkan yes, in interviews Paul has said so dircetly his words in response "You got a problem with that?"--just see the film about Paul's Liverpool Oratorio- ahuge symphony of classical music where paul just imagined the whole thing and had another guy write it down for him in music notation

  • @4FabBEATLES Paul's great! Can't say more!

  • @dnkan Paul can't really music :D

  • george doesnt seem to like paul too much...

  • 3:25 its a film at beatles rockband

  • George's memory was so bad !. There are shots of him recording 'Abbey Road' with a six-string Fender bass in Beatles Monthly. He played bass on more than one track on 'Abbey Road', mainly Paul's 'piano' tracks.

  • @ipolson: How well can you remember what you did on a given day 25 years ago?I'd be hard pressed. And I doubt George spent a lot of time looking at old photos from back in the day. He wasn't terribly nostolgic about The Beatles.

  • @aarfeld: I wasn't criticizing him, I said it tongue in cheek ! I agree he wasnt all that nostalgic about the Beatles up to the Anthology, but he certainly seemed enthusiastic during that time, speaking fondly of the old days etc in interviews on the Special Features disc.etc.

  • @ipolson: Yes, I think that by this point the bitterness was largely forgotten and the fond memories came to the fore. They had also come to feel pride for their tremendous legacy and had come to a greater understanding of just how special their union was in ways that were difficult to appreciate back in the day. Still, there's a bit of an edge and a dig in George's humor.

  • @aarfeld: True

  • hahaha i learn somthing new every day

  • brings CHILLS.

  • Thank you so much for putting Anthology up.

  • "El piano y bajo, tan lejos" - the legend man

  • aww man i am gonna miss mccartney...maybe he is never gonna die?....we can only hope :P

  • @LonelyPepperz Don't worry, I wouldn't be shocked if the man lived until he was 100 and still rocking! He has a lot of energy and spirit. He'll be with us for a long time still. :D

  • i wish they put the mono to stereo speech in the antholgy because its quite insiteful

  • "Once there was a way..."

    "Oh yay"  LOL

  • "It doesn't sound like anybody's on it.."

    HAHAHHA I <3 George.

  • George always looks like he couldn't care less! I love that!

  • george does look like he has just dug the garden over, but that was his style. Great.

  • Another point when looking at Paul. He was the only one that came from a happy middle class family, the rest did not. He tends to see the world through rose colored glasses, he's basically happy go lucky, doesn't sweat the small stuff. He also seems to have no temper, that can be an infuriating trait. Your there all ready for a fight, and you get nothing out of him.

  • @msgtchris: Paul came from a working-class family & his mother died while he was young.

  • MarieNC2 is right.

    Paul did come from a working-class family. They weren't as poor as Georges' parents but they weren't rich, or even as rich as Johns family (fact that often gets forgotten).

    Johns aunt owned a house and they lived in a good neighborhood. I think Pauls Mum died when he was around 14 or something. So who knows nothing about whom?

    And please don't be so superfcial when you say that Paul was "Happy go lucky" he is a complex fellow who many issues.

  • Only Ringo was truly working class, have you seen Aunt Mimi's house?

  • If you listen to the early episodes, Paul & George talk about the fact that as young boys Paul was the "older" one. They both admitted that defined their relationship, Paul always treating George as the "younger" one. I'm sure that George chafed under this treatment, especially as an adult

  • yeah george,..so funny,."he was very keen,"...about macca doin all the parts,piano,bass,...ect,..lol

  • I love it when George says "I don't think anyone's on it!" Gotta love his humor!

  • paul is such a fucking dig me!

  • george looked like he just went meet up with the other two beatles after hes done gardening at home, lol.

  • That place looks suspiciously like a studio at Sweetwater; which is in Fort Wayne, Ind.

  • even funnier: george martin remarks that the bass is on every take of the multitrack and, as macca is on piano/vocal he couldn't have played bass too... (why would you overdub a bassline onto a take you weren't going to use?)

    mr h smiles and says: "he was keen!"

  • paul to george: "doesn't sound like you're on it..."

    george: "doesn't sound like ANYONE'S on it! apart from you..."

    never any flys on mr harrison. ever!

  • hey 3:31....part of this is in beatles rockband nice!!

  • As a musician it is encouraging to hear that even musical gaints like the Fabs make mistakes. Still, the finished product was amazing!

  • I would have KILLED to be the guys who are standing behind them while they are listening tomorrow never knows........i mean.......come on!!!!!!!...... Paul, George, Ringo and George Martin!!!!

    Lucky son of a bitchessssssssssssssss

  • Yes, coquimoreno, it's an historic moment. A day that any lowly tape operator--or anyone else-- would cherish for the rest of his life.

  • George announced in early 2000 that Paul had agreed to work with him on some tracks for an album later that year ("I heard he's had some hits", George joked). But George later delayed that project in order to re-mix and re-release All Things Must Pass. By the time that was finished, George discovered his cancer had returned and never got the chance to finish the new album, which later was put together from George's demos by his son Dhani and Jeff Lynne. It was called Brainwashed.

  • tomorrow never knows, what a great song, it anticipated chemical brothers and more...genius ..

  • te amo paul maccartney!!!!!!!!!!

  • george is not there

  • he is.

  • Ooh George...We love you forever!!!!!!!!

  • yes

  • Hilarious, George -- "what album is that on?"

  • George looks like tommy chong

  • on the songs dear prudence,back in the u.s.s.r .ballad of john and yoko this is just lennon and mccartney,on taxman paul does the solo he is a very good guitar player,lennon and harrison also both played 6 string baritone guitar ,they all had their little musical gifts that they gave to each other..i'll tell you folks it is really great being a musician PEACE AND LOVE!!

  • some of us already know.

  • They are so polite to each other in old age. it is so refreshing to see that.

  • For me thats a freaky moment at 8:20 when they are playing Tomorrow Never Knows and the voice of John comes on singing lines out of the tibetan book of the dead. Scary!
