This is fantastic!! If John, George and Sir George Martin were still alive... The Beatles would have a reunion concert were they would perform all of their masterpieces with one of the best orchestras in the world, where Sir George Martin would be conducting or producing the event.Televised across the world from Liverpool, England; as a celebration of their musical achievements to humanity. What an event that would've been! Thank You...!
Thank you! On the original Beatles recording, Paul McCartney played the famous flute-like intro on a Mellotron, one of the early ancestors of modern sampler keyboards. Meanwhile, John Lennon played the psychedelic mellotron part during the song's fade-out. Our keyboardists were simply recreating the Mellotron parts from the original. The Mellotron has a sound all its own, so something would be lost if we were to substitute real flutes.
I never thought such as simply instrument could have so much impact in a song. That funny looking harp! It demanded to be there. Without IT, the whole song is crippled.
SFF is such an amazing achievement in recorded music history and you have captured it brilliantly in a live setting. Having a little bit of an idea of what exactly the Beatles did for the roughly 45 hours of recordings and countless demos and versions to come up with that masterpiece I have an enormous amount of respect for everyone involved in arranging and playing this live. The masterful splice - the one where the band changes over to the orchestra mid word "going" (Beatle fans know exactly what I'm talking about) - is timed perfectly here. How many hours of practice did you all have? The Beatles themselves, as brilliant as they were, had no intention of ever playing this song live in a million years. My hat is off to you all! Well done!!
Agree that Paul was a better musician, but Lennon was a genius lyricist. Lennon wished to be as musical as Paul, but Paul wished to have the power and message that Lennon's songs had.
Absolutely brilliant. I close my eyes and the Beatles are playing in front of me. All live, no multi tracking. Just brilliant. Would love to go to one of their live concerts.
Una gran ejecución casi exacta! fiel a todos los sonidos, tiempo, tonos... lástima de la batería que queda a deber; aunque no sería posible igualar el increíble trabajo que hizo Ringo.
In all the songs i herd in my life,this is MY song...#1 and every body knows that around. And i'm satified you done it so good! Je francaise canadienne excusez mon anglais écrit.
I love the faitful rendition of the piece, how they are so careful up the minimun detail, just wonderful work, amazing! But at the same time, in one hand I admire and recognize how the singer understands and displays John Lennon's singing style, in the other hand he goes out of tune in some passages that unfortunatelly ruins his performance... Sad...
Thank you David! For the record, the singers' monitor speakers went dead for a portion of the show, so the singers were on their own. Very hard to mount a show this complex without some kind of technical glitch popping up.
@@Jariel3311 Oh! I had no idea of that technical problem, that explains all; I understand now. Thank you very much for your feedback, I appreciate it very much!
