GET BACK BEATLES COM BILLY PRESTON

[samymay]

O que mais me impressiona neste vídeo é o ritmo do Ringo. A pausa em 1:21 é um negócio inexplicável. What I think so amazing in this video is the precision of Ringo's rithym ! The silence in 1:21 is answerless !

[gdosic]

What a band!! :D Great upload...i like it !!!

[matthewrenshaw]

Billy Preston entrance @ 1:13 = pure awesomeness

[misterkaite]

No abbey road studios. Apple studio.

[bimini121663]

Billy Preston and hundreds of other soul singer players were awesone. They had guys like Preston in retainer? Totally unfair. How could ya not be a good band without him

[TheGrubification]

@FoqYu Rolling Stone Magazine? :)

[wiser4x]

Awesome video, thanks

[tayneshia]

Did anyone else see poor stoned Ringo almost fall off his chair at 2:00?

The thing about Billy being the 5th beatle, not to offend, but as much as I love the Beatles (they don't look so great here, there must have been a great shampoo famine) Billy was musically more talented than any of the Beatles. He is actually a prodigy and should have a name of his own, not just an association with the Beatles. He's played with all the biggies anyway, Stones, Clapton, yada, yada....

But he did not get nearly enough credit for being a talent natural in the likes of hendrix etc.

[MrBabolat92]

@64delftlover Billy was more talented than any of the Beatles? You sir, are a complete fucking idiot. NOBODY. NOBODY. BEATS THE BEATLES. Do you know any other bands in history that released 13 number 1 albums in 7 years? Now, individually. Paul is one of the greatest bassists in history due to the constant strumming that was needed in his songs, Ringo's drumming is immensely underrated, as quoted by Phil Collins, his fill-ins were ridiculous. George's solos were never upsetting, have you ever

[MrBabolat92]

@64delftlover even heard Here Comes the Sun? It's a very tiring song to do on guitar. His influence from Indian culture made him a master in introducing the sitar to basically the world, especially like Norwegian Wood. John? His voice. Fucking epic and can never be replicated (try to scream like he did in Don't Let Me Down). Great rhythm guitarist, too. The only reason BIlly Preston was hired by George is to somewhat ease the internal tensions in the band BECAUSE THEY WERE SO GODDAMN GOOD.

[MrBabolat92]

@64delftlover Yes. Billy Preston was an excellent pianist. He made a great contribution in Don't Let Me Down and Get Back. But did all of his albums hit number one? Was he bigger than Jesus? Was he any different from the other mass amounts of black pianists? No, not really. But is his talent better than any of the Beatles? Absolutely. Fucking. Not.

[XMatt69X]

is it just me???? did anybody else see the way paul and george looked at yoko at the start there???

[baloghjenci]

awesome Billy



[david181993]

Billy Preston was just the definition of cool.

[GabrielDhalaman]

Seeing them like this i just imagine how would they be for some 2 more albums...a beatles until 1972,73..."it would have been great",oh,what a surprise

[IVIaster0fIVIuppets]

I'd say Billy was the "sixth Beatle", especially when he started playing with them in the last years of the bands career. George Martin would have to be the "fifth Beatle".

[Whostock]

@IVIaster0fIVIuppets

Shoulnd't it be the seventh beatle?

I mean, there was still Stucliff but he died.

excuse me if I have a bad writing, im Belgian

[ChrisLilly32]

@Whostock billy was more talented than any other beatle that came along and helped them when they had arguements and stuff. He Kept the group together. Billy will always be the fifth beetle. Sorry

[Whostock]

@ChrisLilly32

don't worry I know billy was important to the band and I think also he is the real fifth beatle, I just wanted to let know there was still Stucliff who was pretty important to them (especially John)

[theoriginalbadbob]

Let's hear a round of boos for the copyright cops who took Billy's fantastic video of him singing this song, from the movie, "Sgt. Pepper's...," off of YouTube. It was one of my "Favorites."

[MrSergiostone]

Lookkk Mick ...2:12!!!!

[MrSergiostone]

Look at Mick .....2:46!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Nowhereman90]

Billy was the 6th Beatle... George Martin played in Beatles records long time before Billy did

[RexConCueso]

way to go billy!

[guitarsnstuff93422]

Unearthing a brand new Leslie122 @ :59

[cljorge]

o que essa prostituta faz ai?

[Badhead90]

i amlmost died at Ringo's passin' by at 2:23 - 2:25 xD

[keilar07]

LA MEJOR BANDA DE TODOS LOS TIEMPOS!

[fbmandy55]

LOL @ Ringo @:2:20

[SergioGLuna80s]

billy was the 5th beatle !

[kallikanzari]

Featuring Billy Preston at 1:13. Yaaaay!

[Dltn97]

Billy preston can play the fuck out of those keys! :D

[tromboista]

what´s Yoko doing in the middle? Shouldn´t she be at the house cooking some suki yaki or something?

[SuperIMpulsiV]

@tromboista : xD

[sadsappysucker420]

@tromboista hahaha (:

[dinkarrao1]

get back dear hanamoon

[rocktenniscat]

Remembering a great artist today: Billy Preston: September 2, 1946 – June 6, 2006

[dazzjazz]

Wow watch em get the Leslie out of its box!

[alexalot23]

does anyone know how or why the collaboration between the beatles and preston started? they all made good music together.

[ThatDaveDude1]

@alexalot23 George Harrison met Preston at a Ray Charles concert.

[cahuel]

2:13 Ese no es Jagger que venia a aprender algo!!!!

[Beatles7962]

Who are the two chaps in the room with George Martin at 2:13?

[cahuel]

@Beatles7962

Jagger is one of them i think he was learning some music.

[Beatles7962]

@cahuel It does look a lot like him, but his hair was much longer when this was filmed in 1969.

[DubyaREX02]

@Beatles7962 Mick Jagger and Phil Spector

[tanyafoxx]

Two things strike me. Ringo sure looked like a burn out.. And what was Yoko doing in the studio while they were recording. No room in the control room ?

[mariofraser]

Billy Preston avec les beatles...une fois aura suffit. Qu'en pensaient les membres du fameux Fab Four ?

[JeffBLee]

1:16 you can hear John laughing at Billy!!

[Kashaku3]

The shoes tht George is wearing are retarded......i want a pair x3

[readynow12345]

I don't think this is live ???

[lagatuda]

Great job!!!

[cosmos21ful]

just saw the movie sargent pepper's lonely hearts club band and i hated how they killed so many good songs but the best was the ending with billy preston an actual real life person that lived atleast a few years of his life with the beatles and knew what the beatles were all about

[adame503]

love the beatles

[PopppaBlue59]

I saw Billy, George Harrison, and Ravi Shankar here in Texas in 1974. A splendid time was had by all....

[replybiz]

The sole edit on the single that was made was just after the end of your clip where Macca sings 'Ohhhh' right after that is the edit into another take of the song, you can hear the chat in the background cease with the edit, then hear the drums come in for the reprise section at the end of the song. Amazing what you can do with a razor blade and some sticky tape.

[CORATZAGIO]

Aò, ma Yoko sempre fra i piedi!

[barkulator]

...never get tired of the Bealtes...

[HendrixPrinceFlea89]

Billy almost resembles Chris Tucker at 1:46

[perpetual61]

Here's Proof that Billy Preston was the 5th Beatle.

[bluemist3]

Is that Mick Jagger looking through the glass? They were & will always be the best!

[andyourbirdcansing64]

certain songs make me emotional and just watching paul mccartney, ringo starr, george harrison john lennon and billy preston after everything they stand for and have done just playin a classic is somethin. this is just outstanding the amount of talent in that room. you could take them individually see that separatly they have each influenced the music world and changed lives including mine. this video just shows them doing what they do best and wen they smile its unreal

[mvp91593]

get baaack get baaaack get baaaack to where u once belong GET BACK JOE!! best band evrPERIOD

[batarse123]

omg i just love ringo!!!!!

[ringostarr37]

@batarse123 me too!!!! as you can see! lol

[sting125]

mccartney is so abnormal

[bankofthepacific]

2:22 to 2:25 repeat over and over

[batarse123]

i love ringo man and i know u do2!!! XD

[applewhiteroad]

this song just has everythaaangg!!!!!

[ohadrean]

I wish I was there with the beatles and billy preston. *sigh*

[raffiesgirl]

Who knew John was playing lead guitar before this video. Don'cha just love Billy Preston.

[anncasph]

Of all the pics i've seen of John, this period of his life, John looked the best. Slim, healthy and happy !

[yt555555]

Such a classic song. If it had sat in a cupboard for 40yrs and never been released until now it would still go to number one around the world.

[transferentkenny]

ABSOLUTELY. WITHOUT QUESTION.

[FueledbyMoon]

This video is fake when you look at it.

It's just clips from Let It Be and Anthology put together with the Rooftop recording of the song in the back. Most of the clips don't match up.

Pretty good job though.

[mohansen11]

FueledbyMoon,

I don't think it's a "fake" because I don't think anyone was trying to pass it off as one "live" take. With all the people coming and going, and listening to playbacks, etc., it's clearly a compilation showing different takes, etc. Also, the track used in this video is NOT the Rooftop recording (listen to YqiAl84ipIk).

My only criticism of this terrific video is that I believe the footage is from Apple Studio--despite the fact that Abbey Road is listed as the recording venue.

[JohnnieAdvertising]

The greatest band ever. What else can there be said?

[jstein18]

Soube que os Beatles retornariam na segunda metade dos anos 80, com a seguinte formação: John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, Ringo Starr, Eric Clapton e Billy Preston.

Infelizmente John morreu antes do tão aguardado retorno dos Beatles. Translate in english please!

[crankthemid]

Quit hating on Ringo! Just 'cause he's tasty and doesn't overplay, doesn't mean he's no good. Ringo Rules!

[DMPFace]

ringo looked stoned

[diddilitli]

oh they were on a quite a few things

[TheJeanMichels]

I love Billy Preston too

[Yetinski]

Ringo is a left handed drummer playing on a kit set up for a right handed person. He used to set up his tom drums reversed which was a bit goofy. I don't think he was the best drummer around but definitely the luckiest. Had he auditioned for a band today, he'd be lucky to get a gig in a covers band.

[buzonperiodista]

He'll never be the best... He'll always be unique.

[mrswb]

2:24

Epic lolz

[rosss1959]

Ya'll notice Mick (Jagger) at the 2:12 mark sittn there "chillin"? I've always loved me some Billy Preston. I picked up on him in the 70's when he came out with OUT A SPACE. Didn't know till years later that he'd been the 5th Beatle. Looked like he fit right in.

[milnzi81]

obviously our opinions are different so dont make it personal IDIOT

[milnzi81]

billy preston one of the best hammond/piano players ever to live rip

ringo starr THE worst drummer in the history of music!

[Hbn26]

in that time ringo was the best

so stfu idiot

[RockRampage74]

Ringo's good, but I believe that title belongs to Keith Moon during that time

[Jerichoholic20]

holy shit r u kidding Keith is the greatest drummer of all time while Ringo is good hes not as good as Keith hell Ringo was the worst of the beatles while Keith was the best of The Who

[Kaoimhin19]

Thumbs up/Thumbs Down

[washingliquid]

ringo was a very good drummer. i defy you to name a better drummer during that period.

[milnzi81]

Just as a matter of opinion I would say John Densmore from The Doors. Keith Moon from the Who, Mitch Mitchell (Jimi Hendrix drumer) but its a ll a mater of taste! :)

[heyjudette]

Amazing.

[netenute]

George's Shoes!

[DanyLorah]

HAHA!

Ringo's drunk!

amazing!

[TheMmmbroadcasting]

billy preston just blew my mind

[rosserver]

Billy was Soooo cool. Video proof that he is the fifth beatle.

No journeyqueer, no one cares about you or CCR

And Yoko really cared for John, she was patient, and nurturing. She gave him the love that no one, not the band, not even his mum had given him. She was a saint. A little freaky, but that's the way Mr Lennon liked it! Still a saint. John worshiped her, he would know best.

[radioman66]

Oh no argument here, Billy was a Beatle for the last couple years, if you know your Beatles history you don't doubt Billy Preston was a Beatle!

[poltome]

@radioman66 He had a huge influence on them too, musically. Once he got involved their music became a lot bluesier and soul. It's funny that my 3 favourite Beatles albums were all with Billy.

[heyjudette]

Thank you!! If you love the Beatles, you love John, and John loved Yoko to no end, so every fan should at least respect the lady!

[matthelix]

She was up in their business a little too much during the recording sessions. On the flip side she did inspire John Lennon.

[BanquetNZ]

1:15 Billy play!

[revluzionnotelevised]

@BanquetNZ

1:26

Billy play

[journeyquest1]

yoko was a worm. great song. the first single record i owned. i was 8. my second was ccr down on the corner.

[ariescavalier]

Increible aqui John hace la primera guitarra no George, George sólo hace el ritmo

[netenute]

Se turnaban a veces, no es tan increible, particularmente cuando la canción no es de ninguno de los dos

[unamor]

@ 2:30

is that young Steve jobs staring at their logo?

[joesl8]

Billy was an amazing talent but Fricken Yoko!?

[28if]

Did anybody notice that the preamble promises "never before heard version of Get Back" and then play the version released on the single.

Adds nothing new except a few clips of Billy that I haven't seen before...yawn

[Theeggman18]

It ain't the single version. It's the Let It Be... Naked version, "never before heard" at the time.

[PonyboyCurtis1982]

amazing, and I dont understand what is so hard to understand. Billy played on the white album, let it be and on Abbey Road. This is why he is considered the 5th Beatle, He actually kept them on their best behavior, he was great friends with George Harrison who had invited him to the Get Back/Let it Be sessions, just like he had invited Eric Clapton to the White Album sessions.

[momtotwins07]

i have a question for all of you boneheads out there. what do we call black people in canada. african canadians or jamaican canadians or muslim canadians and on and on and on. unreal how about black black black black.

[Theeggman18]

If he speaks french, he's a french african american canadian.

[mclarke825]

how about "people"?

[withavengence]

how about "people who have to deal with other ignorant and prejudiced people?"....the world hasn't changed that much.

[g3mstarr19]

who gives a fuck

[lifeinpictures]

Hey Asshole, stop drinking.

[rahkriga]

Interesting...didnt know the beatles did covers of other peoples songs

[MRROCK92]

ass its their song

[serendipitystudents1]

He wasn't part of the group you bonehead they only needed him for the organ or keyboard because they needed to stick to their own instruments. but billy preston is my Favorite African American Singer.

Chris G

[MUN7001]

oh really lol, african american, doesnt speak african languages, so how could he be africanamerican, anyways your pale and stupid, so i dont care lol

[serendipitystudents1]

Hate to burst your bubble, but you don't have to speak African languages to be African-American. *rolls eyes* Also, you have no room to call us stupid when you go around making uninformed comments and using "your" instead of "you're."

~emberrrr

[serendipitystudents1]

you dont make sense.

Chris g

[476892]

Yes, I understand that Billy Preston recorded so frequently, with the Beatles, that he was considered the "5th Beatle"!!! I'm sorry that Preston had such a horrible death!!! May he rest in Peace!!!!

[serendipitystudents1]

man the beatles where good also that was billy preston and 2:15 he is a good singer. and yea ringo was funny at 1:57 and 2:24 . ringo is my favorite beatle.

[MUN7001]

go suck a dick old paleface, bily preston couldnt be part of the group because of bitches like you

[serendipitystudents1]

Watch your language. And what in the world are you talking about??

~emberrrr

[folkermitf]

I would have kicked Yoko out of the studio

[rgcee22]

The Beatles would be huge today and still will 100 yrs. from now.

[david181993]

2:24 lol @ ringo!

[Tigression]

BUDDAH breast you!

[mykylc]

Billy is the man!!!

[Charrua5]

billy preston rules !!!!

[zulucase]

I would, also very much like to unwrap a brand new Wodden lesliespeaker 0,59

Preston is cool. Check him out on the clips from the "roof concert"

[mohansen]

The unwrapping of the Leslie speaker was one of my favorite parts too ... though the shots George's colorful shoes (2:02) and what appears to be Mick Jagger listening in (2:12) are great too.

[dadavic]

Good thing the beetle came out when they did, because today's market would appreciate, or understand their style! They would be playing to a much smaller audience!

[TheElPajero]

In a weird way, the world of music and music business wouldn't be the way it is now without bands like The Beatles, Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin and such huge bands. Bands like these actually made the BUSINESS out of music. Is is a good thing or not, I don't know. I guess it's easier to get a record deal nowadays, but so much of today's music is just scheite. Still, gotta love the Beatles.

[vince015]

this song ROCKS =)

[mrsgstd]

It's so cool that Lennon played lead guitar on this. He was a great guitar player and never got a lot of credit for it.

[Suxkers]

Yeaaah!!

[MicMyers78]

awesome

[jonny7dreamin]

This is an absolute brilliant version of the Beatles "Get Back" It goes to show how much they loved to Jam..thanks for posting this video..

[semtex2you]

bueno. the fuckin best

[ARTisRESISTANCEmLp]

=)

[jmz1980]

Está muy bueno.

[ahorayya]

[ravello99]

[dougplank]
