There's something touching about Ringo singing this all alone. As a singer he may not have impressive technique or range, but he's perfect for this song.
It is a great, great, sublime bass line that drives the song, and adds the exact fills at the right places where the song needs them to be. Just like Something. Paul’s a real genius as an artist.
Listen carefully at 13:40. You can hear the punch in as Ringo dubbed the last part. He struggled to hit that last note and Paul was next to him helping encourage him to hit it. The old analog machines meant you literally had to punch in, yes with a button, to overwrite on a track. The punch in was done pretty darn well for the late 60's!
@@nonrepublicrat What makes you say that? Each Beatle did his part well but Paul's bass line stands out. George's guitar a thousand times more impressive? Are you a guitarist? A bass player? Do you even play any instrument? Tell us why you think the guitar work is a thousand times more impressive. I am a luthier and a guitarist and have had the experience to play in a band. Yes I love the guitar work but I can't see where it is more impressive than the bass line.
I always assumed Paul took the high parts and John the low parts on the call and answer vocals and double-tracked them that way, but they BOTH did the high part on one track and they BOTH did the low part on another track. I always loved those times-- starting with "I Want To Hold Your Hand"-- when Paul and John sang the same line together. It created a unique sound
John has some nice arpeggios though the band’s discography. He wasn’t a lead guitarist but he had some really tasty riffs, very original strumming patterns, and amazing chord progressions.
So many associate Joe Cocker's version with great emotion and passion, but give me the final moments of this song, when John, Paul, and George's harmonies lift their friend to the ending high note of his wonderful performance; it's the embodiment of what this song's lyrics are all about.
Brilliant stuff by The Beatles AND brilliant stuff by DLD2 Music! for separating all these tracks. Harmonies at 14.02 are just amazing. Hearing them like this gives me even more appreciation of Sgt Pepper. Fans are never satisfied--more please?!!
Ringo singing is even better isolated! There’s a subtle vibrato that is perfect and demonstrates great control and technique. The notion that he’s not a great singer is nuts and probably only the result of context: the other 3 being among the greatest in popular music history
it's just great to hear how simply the parts are played, no fancy licks or superfluous notes--i mean the Pyramids are just big blocks of stone but assembled in just the right way and designed with Inspiration look what ya get!
Wow The way they sing the backings on "Would you believe in love at first sight" at 15:30 and "Do you need anybody" at 16:00 is very different than how I hear it on the final mix
@@nonrepublicrat Some say mr p is right and some say he is wrong...can't suite everybody..anyway I know something good must happen in your head whether you play one note or many.
For anyone interested, abbey road studios has a plug-in version of the same exact piano played in this, amongst other instruments and recorded at abbey road
You can faintly hear Paul singing during the piano track. He must of been singing to himself when he was recording the piano track and the microphone picked it up.
@@DLD2Music I read somewhere that the lads used to sneak off to the reverb chamber at EMI (Abbey Roads) studio to smoke a bit of reefer between takes, or while the engineers were setting up the mics, from the recording of Rubber Soul and thereafter.
Everything about this song is marvelous, from Ringo being encouraged to sing by the lads, to the song itself ! Certainly an underrated Beatles song by all accounts
@@thefuzz4447 Sorry. Forgot to mention. That link is to another sublime guitar iso, but the one in 'Strawberry Fields Forever'. Also could listen to it on a loop!
Have you ever posted information on what technology/ audio devices you use to achieve this kind of separation? I love these "Fab" recordings! Mind boggling!! Wow!!!
I've just realized that there are almost no photos of George playing his Strat (still in sonic blue) during the Sgt. Pepper sessions. Maybe George really did use that Casino a lot more than we thought? (but the lead in this song definitely sounds like a Strat)
Does anyone notice the different snare drum sound on the verses as opposed to the choruses? I'm not a drummer so what is going on here? Is he intentionally hitting the snare in a different spot on the head during the chorus to give it more punch and laying off on the verses to change the dynamic? If so, there is my proof that Ringo is one of the worlds best rock drummers....
John's guitar comping sounds very rudimentary. Paul's piano chord voicings are much more colorful, although still quite basic. George Martin deserves an ENORMOUS amount of credit for producing and arranging Beatles' songs.
The rudimentary and basic elements IS the way it's arranged, yet you say despite that George Martin deserves enormous credit? I didn't know George Martin had much of a hand in this era of the Beatles, but I wouldn't be surprised. I do think it's funny though to talk about the arrangement in a negative way and then compliment the arranger- Oh! Unless you were saying that he didn't arrange this, and he deserves credit for arranging their earlier stuff?
11:11-11:19 "Biiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiillyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy Sheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeears!" has something to do with Ringo apparently according to Google
I download all of these just in case Yoko gets to them. (No hate on Yoko but she took down the Real Love demo recently and it broke my heart I can’t find it anywhere)
An attractive analysis of this superb tune and song that has given to me pacification of my soul for the past fifty-five years. But was that affected by their drug use: lysergic acid diethylamide?
@@DLD2Music I guess they felt that as it would be buried in the mix (until now!), and as tape and studio time were expensive, they wouldn't go back and re-take the tracks.
And what is heard in the background on the drums is due to the fact that the song was recorded live And some instruments remain in the background of the others
Tengo muchos años escuchando esta música .y siempre buscaba la manera de separar los instrumentos voces soñaba con esto y pofin tu nos das ese privilegio a todos los beatlemaniaco de escuchar la música de los beatles de manera diferente . Gracias espero más de ellos .
@@kurwabobrze633 It very much resembles Paul's style of playing. Also, when George played rhythm, he often played it rather straight-up with not much alteration. Also, the rhythm guitar is most often credited to George by Beatles authors, since John only played cowbell in the rhythm track.
@@JesperSalama If the guitar is Paul then John played piano by process of elimination. I don't think so, though. The basic track was guitar, drums, piano, tambourine, as you can see here (ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-vLIFWY8dKd4.html). I would guess the cowbell was Ringo's right hand as he snared with the left, idk. My guess is John on tamb. (or maybe John on piano Paul on tamb like Hey Bulldog, the piano is simple enough)
I never knew the famous drum break was a full on timpani let alone that it was Paul not Ringo who played it. Shows how epic the song was. Or did it show the others as backing men to Paul. Name any other song that used a timpani like this- except Tommy.
