Hello Goodbye - The Beatles - Early Take.

[4dscorp]

"Hello, Hello." Take 1.

- Hello, HELLO?

[LtDrg35]

@4dscorp That was going to be the original name for the song

[CelestialEmbodiment]

There's nothing new under the sun. Since the Christian era: cannibalism, infanticide, bestiality, homosexuality & sacrificing virgins to appease volcanoes have been frowned upon. Capitalism, not corporatism or crony capitalism, is self-correcting.

[CelestialEmbodiment]

Many things defy Man's rationale as his intellect simply isn't big enough. The answer from corporate religious fanatics, of the 21st century, to all things mysterious & contrary is: EVOLUTION. To Darwin's caretakers: It's incumbent upon the person making any claim to bring forth evidence. Explain endogenous retroviruses. Explain the common cold virus. Explain porcine influenza. Expound upon the benefits of chemical therapies as proffered by the mainstream cancer industry.

[1967mustanggta]

This isn't the Beatles - Ha Ha - so funny. Of course it is. They are simply dialing in on the parts of what will be the song we all know. It's so cool to hear it in the idea stage.

[LBrilliante]

@1967mustanggta Not only is this the Beatles it is precisely the released take's basic track. I've been listening to this song since I was 2 years old and I recognize the precise organ parts that, while only saudible in the finished take, are almost unconsciously recognizable. This is indeed the basic track and if the 5.1 remixes do become available you'll be able to hear for yourself! Listen closely to the finished one up against this and you'll not hear one deviation!

[LBrilliante]

@LBrilliante ... at least 3:26 through to the end may be the finished take.. but even if this isn't the finished take it is probably one of only 7 finished attempts that the Beatles would have made of this song. I really hope they release surround remixes of this song as the drums and cymbals that Ringo plays here are so beautiful in true high resolution.

[paulinoGuitarHero]

what year was this??

[LODGE4444]

@paulinoGuitarHero 1967

[paulinoGuitarHero]

@LODGE4444 thanks! :)

[reg5381]

this isnt the beatles.

[LODGE4444]

@reg5381 Of course it's The Beatles

[mravantgarde123]

Ringo!-3:00- 3:25, why didn't you use that drumming in the original? that was great! how did you do that Ringo?

[ratchetxrc]

@mravantgarde123 I know right

[Tapwater2226]

If you listen very carefully at the end you can hear Paul singing hey la hey hello a. Very much a Beatles take and not a fake. As for Ringo this track really does say something for his drumming. Amazing find awesome song long live the Beatles

[mravantgarde123]

i am a drummer, and you know who my inspiration is?

RINGO STARR!!!!

the greatest drummer in the greatest band of all time!!!!!!!!!!!

[Ghstwn]

"DAFFYBEATLE SUCKS!"

[Ghstwn]

Ringo once commented that his drumming on the song "Rain" is his own most surprising work. He stated that he doesn't know where that timing came from and he never did anything like it again. Phil Collins once stated: " Only Ringo could have come up with that one. Collins also said: "I wouldn't have known what to do with I am The Walrus. It was so unusual". I'd have overdone it. But Ringo figured out what it needed perfectly. Lot's of Tom Toms and slow rolls in his unique style.

[hotazsun62]

@Ghstwn well said!

[PC3900]

@IanGPx2 They were not ahead of their time - they WERE their time. Few other artists have been so wedded to an era (the 60's). As for being revolutionary while using simple elements, the Wright Brothers' first plane was made of simple wood, fabric, and wire, but it certainly changed the world forever.

[SunTeleLeo]

Classic drumming...

[enolaniaga]

The 4 beatles and george martin were musical Gods on earth. Never will they be matched.

[enolaniaga]

listen close in the beggining, and you here that this song was originally called " HELLO HELLO"

[enolaniaga]

To really here Ringos genius with the beatles, listen to " You Wont See Me" off rubber soul. His drumwork in that song is so melodic and well thought out. Ringos greatest skill was knowing how to play for each song and not clutter up the songs with uneeded drumming. Ringo was a master in the art of holding a beat WITHOUT using the hi hats all thru a song. Most drummers MUST constantly ride those hi hats. NOT RINGO !

[enolaniaga]

If you listen to ringos drumming over the last 20 years, you can see that without the beatles, his drumming is not noteworthy. Ringo was a songwriters drummer, and this is why Ringo excelled when he had lennon/mcartney to feed off of. Without lennon/mcartney, ringo would not be noteworthy.

[27dedrummer]

@enolaniaga neither would any drummer

[enolaniaga]

Yes, as long as Ringo was in the beatles, his drumwork was fabulous. But the key is, he needed the two greatest songwriters in history to make him what he was. Without them, Ringo would not be much. They all feed off each other .

[mysticmrsam]

the ending was a sign of things to come..".Hey Jude"- the following year

[Floridaboy7777]

I love how 99% of the comments on this video are about Ringo. He TOTALLY deserves all that praise! he quite possibly the best drummer ever. but only a FOOL would say he isn't atleast the best drummer of the 1960's.

[11889music]

The last minute of this is so enjoyable :)

Thanks for posting!

[drstarfires]

ringos style may be normal now days but he like invented it! :D

[maharishi3]

ringo was an absolutely brilliant drummer

[buzzflea]

Ringo = awesome. People always speak poorly of him. I can't see how. Listen to that badass groove.

[Blompcube]

@buzzflea i think ringo's talent is brought to the foreground a lot better with these early takes without any overdubs because the drums usually got pushed to the background by the archaic recording technology of the era, and extra percussion ended up being dubbed over the top later on, so you can't really hear ringo behind the kit properly on these recordings, which is a shame because i think the sgt pepper era was some of his best drumming work with the beatles.

[PC3900]

Is Lennon on organ, starting at abpout 2:00? I know he despised this song, but they were at least still functioning as a band in late '68 when this was recorded.

[THeMaskedBlogCritic]

@PC3900 Yes, he is.

[crowley24]

@PC3900 This wasnt recorded in late 68.

[PC3900]

@crowley24 Right! My bad - it was recorded in Oct. '67.

[MrTokyojoe150]

@PC3900 It could have been john, than again it could have been paul, cause paul played the piano and bass, so its a tie between the two. and forgive me for the correcting they recorded this song in '67 in the sgt.peppers album

[LordSion45]

@MrTokyojoe150 nah i have SGt. Pepper's and the song isn't on it.

[MrTokyojoe150]

@LordSion45 really....thats wierd cause i have it too and hello goodbyes on mine....but i also thinks its a single

[Hellopeople450]

In the complete version of Hello Goodbye, you couldn't here the drumming as clear as this. The drumming is really great in this song, thanks for posting this video.

[collcoll13]

we say hello to new music and new artist but never goodbye to the beatles they will live forever

[wook1ee]

awesome, thanks for sharing (L)

[johnnydemo9]

Maybe Paul's on Drums???

[Ishi680]

@johnnydemo9 The drumming here is miles ahead of Paul's drumming. Definitely, the brilliant but underrated Ringo Starr. Even on the promotional video, Paul was on vocals and was playing bass and Ringo of course on the drums.

[Astbruchgefahr]

@Ishi680 There's no bass on this. Paul is on Piano, Ringo is on drums. John is probably doing the organ, and any guitar will be George.

[Ishi680]

@Astbruchgefahr I was pertaining to the finished version of this song because that one has Paul on the bass.

[whisfoxvictor]

It never fails to amaze me that they had their 1st single release in 1963 and by 1969/70 they had split..All those achievements in just seven years! A phenomenon, No one comes close.

[rissyjava]

I love this pic. So young and fresh. And witty.

[analyzingfunny]

this is great

[NIBIRUROCK]

studio "ruffs" are cool to other people if you become famous...to us musicians...their just ROUGH I know this song SO well that I can pick it up at any part,,,I'm happy to have the pleasure of listening....a great time in music!!!

[KarenRLM]

Is it me or dose Paul has a mustache

[venomchickkk]

Long live the Beatles. I really like how it's just instruments, because in the song you don't hear the true beauty of the piano or the drums.

[gdholmfirth]

Ringo said his best drumming was on "Rain", but this has to be pretty close behind.

[1967mustanggta]

Paul and John are great but there are the ocassions to see the talents of Ringo and George. Then you know it was a unique group The Beales - Not the rolling stones or beach boy or who or anything else with plug in members around a voice.

[IchibanStar13]

they shouldve used this version and then overdubbed the vocals, bass, guitar(s), and violin.

[LanceHall]

I like to air drum to this outtake.

[jpgrlmhsa]

ringoooooooooooooooooooo the bestttttt. ringo i love you so much, ringooooo let´s rockssssssss, form mexico city,,, ringo!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Vazmusic]

This is fascinating drum wise. The time was not as good as the version that they released but some of the fills are amazing. He never played in this style again. Almost a jazz approach to the snare drum fills. Sounds like he took off the towels for this song.

[dlamport310]

so good

[WhiizzKiidd]

3:14 Holy shit Ringo!

[Beatlemaniax1965]

@WhiizzKiidd wow tht wuzz cool i like tht

[SuperGogetem]

@WhiizzKiidd Yeah, those are awesome fills!

[julbim]

This backing track shows why Ringo and his outstanding drumming were absolutely essential to the great Beatles song recordings. Absolutely superb, original and fascinating drumming. Paul's piano playing is so excellent too. I am fed up to the back teeth with that joke John made about Ringo not even being the best drummer in the Beatles...it was great mates taking the mickey out of each other. Who did John want on his first solo album...Ringo and that's acknowledged as a classic.

[buzzflea]

@julbim I didn't read your comment until after I posted mine. Completely happy there are some people who respect Ringo.

[julbim]

@buzzflea it's good to be acknowledged for my Ringo opinion by a very musical chap like you who knows the truth. Ringo may well be the secret ingredient that made the Beatles worldbeaters...that She Loves You drum feel; his popularity with American fans in 1964; coming up with the fantastic title, at a crucial time, of 'A Hard Day's Night'; being the right guy to be the cartoon star of the Yellow Submarine movie; most of all playing those consistently inventive drums as displayed here.

[AnAmericanIdiot05]

I love Ringo so much

[DaveDaysJr]

i found one lie this on a d in a record shop but my copy doesnt stay the whole song....hmmmm

[JohnWhapshott]

This is a great find! Thanks for posting it!

[Edhallick]

The end part "Hey la hey hey low ah" is where Kurt Cobain got the idea for the middle part of "Smells like Teen spirit" but he changed the words to "Hello hello how low". He said he thought they were singing "Hey lower" so his answer was "how low?" because they kept repeating it.

[JackHauss]

Daaamn, where do you guys find all these outtakes?

[apeshitdig]

It's not available everywhere so when you look hard for something or get lucky and find it, there's your answer.

[Alien8990]

At 4:22 you can hear someone say "Cacaguate!"

[BadNews88]

Did anyone notice, that after the call of "Take One", the warm-up piano passage sounds *very much* like....and I'm not kidding...The Woody Woodpecker Theme"?

Listen for it, m8's

Ennyroad, this is COO-ELL! Thanx fer it!

[apeshitdig]

Great sing along track, try it after a couple of beers, or 10, but not too much as to be stupid.

[jpsmart59]

The drumming is so complex that has to be Ringo on the drums. I guess that is the recording engineer who says take one. I know John was not liking this tune as he said so. He felt Paul was writing granny music at times like "Honey Pie".

[bassman19889]

I LOVE THIS TAKE!"!

[qw1419xtj]

Its Ringo. NO one else drums like that. He was so underrated, but as a drummer myself, he has my deepest respect. Incredible feel for the song.

[m3dion]

qw1419xtj, you're so right. That's of course Ringo, and he's VERY underrated.

[Nastadamente]

When you hear these raw recordings you really wish the Beatles would have remixed some tracks for some of the greatest hits projects. Hello Goodbye holds the record for being the Beatles song that was overdubbed the most generations. It robs the basic tracks of the released version of some clarity and dynamics. It would be nice to hear the organ and piano more clearly and Ringo's drums which are particularly good here could benefit too. Oh well... years from now I guess!

[2JOHNNYT]

The MEN who shot JOHN - shot Pres Reagan 2! Check it out, then help defeat the EVIL by spreading the consciousness: watch?v=BnE3xBY492o

[elinmagg]

to me this sounds a bit fake :/

for instance, can anyone tell me who says 'take one' in the beginning?

[erikesemo223]

I would have to say that the producer says "take one".

[elinmagg]

yeah, that's probably right!:)

[jpsmart59]

George Martin may have been the person who said that. No one knows for sure. No vocals. I am use to hearing the vocals for this song and many other songs.

[aaronp01]

it wasn't always george martin. sometimes it would be one of the engineers. besides,the drums sound WAY too much like ringo,and that definitely sounds like paul's style of piano playing.

[elinmagg]

I take it back that I said it was fake, it's definitely the Beatles, don't know what I was thinking when I posted that comment, actually lol

[TheOneBeatle]

It is the original take 1. The original title was Hello Hello, and if you hear this take, is similar to the used in the released version. I Like it this. I tried to put the voice to this and see if this works.

[SecretTimeWarp]

@elinmagg Geoff Emerick, I would assume?

[EdEckersley]

only 4000 views?

[siralbarrett]

I love those basic tracks where you can hear the details that's otherwise lost in overdubs.

[haileydog]

certainly not fake. thats ringo alright. thanks for sharing

[rocharua]

I don't think it's fake. The drums sound very much like Ringo.

[tomflinn456]

This is Fake.

[walrusgh]

McCartney is the master of arrangments.

[walrusgh]

Masterpiece...Peace & Love.

[BeatlesForeverGirl]

This is great!!:)

[joe99f1]

they were light years ahead of there time, and even today they are still way ahead of anybody else. god bless the beatles.

[Projectplayer22]

Ehh, I think they were rite on time.

[rwindows18]

how'd you get this?
