looks lik george is sayin john smells like shit lol

[Cheessa]

At 0:13 seconds, it's dark. We can vaguely see silhouettes of 4 people. Slowly, the lights go on and the 4 chosen ones sent from heaven are revealed to us, and let the music play. As powerful and awesome as any debut to any song.

Being a pedant, the keyboard solo was by Nicky Hopkins, not Billy Preston. Greatest B-side ever. Remember them?

[tjsmith51]

They took the instrumental from a recording but sang the words while playing. Same with Hey Jude. Many bands did the same.

I still love watching these two vids though cause it was a rare performance.

[TopShowsHere]

2:19 John Showing us how he sound when Having sex!

[bones22j]

I love this

[CusterFlux]

Interesting - they played along to a tape ( Billy Preston's solo wasn't played by George! ) but they kept the Mics open and mixed it in too.

[mysterio3638]

BOW SHOOBIE DOO WHAP!

[lynottlives]

to settle the debate..:) the music is from the album, they are singing live..:)

[juakocl]

love fuzz sound :D

[Bliz275]

A genuine question, how come the hofner bass is quite compact and small, but nowadays Bass guitars are quite large in girth and length?

[yeggo]

Fantastic! The Beatles in top form and thoroughly enjoying themselves. Wish they'd done more live TV performances like this in the late 60s.

[Lisy1130lubsringo]

George looks like he is sayin john smells like shit :)

[jamrush123]

@Lisy1130lubsringo hahahaha no its johns mic is sh%t

[etr1985]

Paul McCartney use their first Hofner 500/1 "Cavern" bass (refinished in 1964) in this promo...

[mavsfan069]

no they aren´t playing but the "shup be do ba" is grate ajjajaa peace & LOVE

[jaywemm]

yes also hear the sound of electric piano(played by nicky hopkins at break) music is taped-vocals live

[nedroom]

definitely playing to a backing track because if you look at Paul's fingers they don't match the bass part you hear

[rapidtransitman]

I luv the backup vocals!

[rapidtransitman]

There's some slight guitar feedback that makes me think it's live.

[Kevvrock1208]

@rapidtransitman LOL it is live!

[lennonsbiggestfan]

its live singing to a backin track i think

[propaganda63]

Bravo to the Beatles!

[westfield90]

[Kesava1975]

@ 1:20 is a SERIOUS screwup

[BeachBoysGuy1]

Where's the screwup ? just curious

[Kesava1975]

watch paul mccartny's hands from 1:16 - 1:22 & tell me theyre really playing

[VittoreLeo]

Yes, this is the real hard rock song.

[sky0725]
