They shot this film to promote Lady maddona. They decided not to waste time in the studio and recorded Hey Bulldog. The video went out with the Lady M soundtrack.
On October 9th we will all watch "Imagine" in honor of the greatest singer ever's birthday. Let's give him the best birthday present ever: the highest viewed video on YouTube!! Let's give him what he deserves and what Justin Bieber does not deserve to have!
Copy and paste to all John lennon/beatles videos and all music videos let's get this noticed quickly!
One of the last really "fun" times in the studio...before India...before "The White Album"...before Yoko at every session...before EVERYTHING changed...
One of their very best and certainly way overlooked !
John's "state of consciousness" lyrics; Paul's thumping bass and sweet harmonies;
Dig it,I agree 100% with everything exept beieve it or not that is John playing the lead solo on Hey Bulldog.(Look it up in any Beatles recording sessions books,and there are many) John only played lead on just a few Beatles cuts.Like 'One after 909' on rooftop in Let it Be Movie, and a very few early Beatles cuts,also on the album version of Let it Be.George played lead on the single(45) version of Let it Be, and a few others john played lead on.Not many.
@frankty67 According to Mark Lewisohn's "Beatles' Recording Sessions", John's solos over the years are on: "You Can't Do That", "Every Little Thing", duet with George on "And Your Bird...", "Revolution", in unison with George on "Hey Bulldog" (John's low, George is high), "Yer Blues" (1st solo), both versions of "Get Back", "Come Together" and "I Want You"
When the "Let It Be" LP solo is recorded on January 4,1970, John had left the band.
@gtrDan1963 Hey you may be right about George and John soloing on Hey Bulldog.I got Both Marc Lewinsons books "The recording sessions and The Complete Beatle Files.So I have to look that up.Either way Hey Bulldog is the Most Killer Underated Beatle song.Its just manic. That double lead 12string solo that John and George do on "Bird can Sing" is my all time favorite.I remember George saying that his son asked him how that solo was done. was.rock on!!!
Really good video. When you watch old videos of these guys in their prime, they looked like they were having the time of their life. Can you imagine what it must of felt like to be them during the time?
Cheers to all you people who have taken the time to upload these Beatles rarities, regardless of whether they are rare or not. Beleive it or not ther'e are people out there who have'nt heard some of this shit. I even came across a version of Norwegian Wood that had previously been unknown to me...keep up the good work lads.
Every Video Is Rare Of The Beatles Is Rare. Think About It. There Will Be No Other Video Of This. The Videos You See Are The Ones That Will Last Forever.
@TheBeatles267 wow - very good.. How's it goin' so far? You must be good. I don't know if I could find it on the keyboard like I'd like to hear it. I'd have to have the sheet music! Well - if your results are close enough, I'D buy it! :)
This looks like one of the films they would send to the Ed Sullivan Show. When they could no longer be on the show for whatever reason, they would send videos. This is one reason why they are given credit for pioneering music videos.
Wow, WHAT a cool song! Why the hell did I not hear this before. Wow. Its so different... I LOVE John Lennon's voice here. lol and near the end... wow... umm... they were going a bit high there, weren't they?? eheh. LOL and now I finally get to see what Paul meant in an interview about barking/howling and John's approval. XD XD XD

The Beatles, Feb. 1968...
One of the last really "fun" times in the studio...before India...before "The White Album"...before Yoko at every session...before EVERYTHING changed...
One of their very best and certainly way overlooked !
John's "state of consciousness" lyrics; Paul's thumping bass and sweet harmonies;
George's killer guitar solo; Ringo's rock-steady drumming...
The Beatles in the studio...it doesn't get any better than this !

The footage was originally used for Lady Madonna, and then re-used for Hey Bulldog(which is, of course, what they are producing in the footage)
