WHOAA!! FIRST TIME LISTENING TO THE BEATLES - I'VE GOT A FEELING [FIRST TIME REACTION]

Amazing to see these four young men enjoying playing together for the last time. They changed the world in many ways with their music and personalities.

McCartney and Lennon singing together is fantastic.

and don't forget: in these years live actually meant live!

You can see how much they were really enjoying performing. A bit of their mischievous side, I think. ❤️✌️

What a stunning performance from the 5 amazing musicians.. Nowadays the "Let it Be" album is increasingly seen as a brilliant one and thats just incredible. No wonder the Fabs are rated as highly as they are. Just like Paul's Ram album is now given it's due respect..Shows how ahead of their time they were.

This was their last goodbye! The roof of Apple records.

A pity that this was their last live public performance together. It looked like they were having fun doing what they loved.

The Beatles were the largest selling live show on the planet back when they took over the world in 1964-66. They were the first band to ever play live in a sports stadium - when they performed at Shea Stadium in New York City to almost 56,000 fans on August 15th, 1965. The girls at these concerts would scream and yell so loud - that the band couldn't even hear themselves play. The Beatles eventually got tired of all the craziness of these live shows - and when they finished their 1966 US tour... they decided they didn't want to do it any more. So they quit performing live - with their last show being on August 29th, 1966. In January of 1969 - they had decided to try and play live again... but they didn't want to go through all the craziness that they had in the mid 60s. So they eventually decided to just go up on the roof of their building - and play live up there. This was on January 30th, 1969... and it was cold up on the roof - but they brushed that aside and delivered an awesome live performance. No one knew it at the time... but it would be the last time they ever played a live performance together. After the rooftop performance... they got back together and recorded the "Abbey Road" album (many see it as one of the best albums ever made). They finished the album in August of 1969 and about a month later - John Lennon told the others that he was quitting the group - and that was it for the group. The first record they put out was recorded in September of 1962... and they finished their final record in August of 1969 - so they recorded for just a seven year period. There is an entire world of great songs which they recorded in that seven year period - with amazing music and wonderful vocal performances by The Beatles - and any fan of music would be doing themselves a huge favor to check out every album and single they released. A good place to start... would be their Red Album (1962-66) and their Blue Album (1967-70) which contains a good sampling of their songs over the entire history of the group.

I love the Beatles when they sound raw like this. Amazing guys.

This is so much fun returning to this program, Philip. These Beatles programs are what got my attention from your channel. I was blown away by how quickly you picked up that you had something special with this iconic live performance, the last ever live performance by the Beatles in January '69.

At the end of the concert, the street in front of the Apple building was of course full of people. Unfortunately, the fifth Beatle sits so hidden in the background on his keyboard (Billy Preston). After that, only the Abbey Road stuff came and then it was over. That was also masterful to separate at the right time, so the Beatles remained young and fresh as a group.

One of my favorite Beatles songs

Paul was magnificent on this track!

I put the headphones on, and got Rock n Roll chills.😎😎

Very cool reaction! Thank you 🙂. The Beatles are as great a rock band as you'll find! This was actually their last public performance. They were together as a band only 7 or 8 short years, but managed to change modern music forever, because they evolved with each album. You should check out some of their earlier stuff, too. They were always BRILLIANT!

One After 909 is another rooftop song which is brill

Many Beatles songs give me huge emotion while I'm hearing them, but this song is so full of fantastic melody, gritty rock, harmony, and the FEELING he's got, it makes me teary because of the amazingness of it all. The Beatles really pulled together here, despite some difficulties leading to this point.

Because the Beatles were rocking their asses off

It's true Paul would always be the one to take the lead when a soft and sentimental song was required - even back in their early days they'd break up their mostly hard rocking 7 or 8 hour shifts as house band in clubs in Hamburg's red light district by throwing in a sentimental ballad or show tune, to keep the audience interested. And he wrote some of the most beautiful pop love songs, like And I Love Her, and Here, There and Everywhere, and later, post-Beatles, Maybe I'm Amazed (which gets rockier as it progresses). But Paul, like John, was always a rock and roller at heart - that was always the bedrock of their music and a genre they returned to in the Get Back/Let it Be sessions, late in their career as a band. And Paul arguably had the better voice for the really loud screaming, Little Richard style. I'd strongly recommend you check out this video, from the end of a live performance for Swedish TV, right back at the beginning of their recording career when they were still relatively unknown in continental Europe, let alone the US. It's a wonderful show to watch because you see them as they would normally play, right up close with their audience - something that within months of this session would be impossible since they'd have been torn apart by their adoring fans, as the madness that was 'Beatlemania' took hold of the world.. The sound is primitive to say the least and the balance between Paul's and John's mics seems off, making their harmonies not quite gel on I Saw Her Standing There... but wait until you hear Paul's encore; you'll see what he could do with a Little Richard number. It's a joy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HFC36Qs9SZw

What a fantastic program you recorded here Philip! A live performance watching Lennon and McCartney co-front the Beatles, with little George on the guitar in the background with Ringo doing his thing on the drums, and Billy Preston on keyboards playing a flaming piano line on this song. His piano playing fits perfectly with the Beatles guitar work in this song.
