It's amazing they can perform with such energy while seemingly staying completely still.

Crazy how in 1969, the song was only 5 years old, but with their growth in those 5 years, it may as well have been 30 years old

Notice how even when John and Paul are totally messing around, Ringo sticks right with them for every bit of it, still laying it down

[lennyanders]

They couldn't read music but they turned out to be the best composers of the 20th century and beyond.

I would really love to hear the later Beatles singing more early Beatles stuff like this.

[bobblankenship]

The Beatles just messing around is one hundred times better than anything that's out today.

[wormsnake]

Paul’s “mock” harmony are still extraordinary. The Beatles could sing the telephone directory and it would still be good. They were incredible.🙏❤️.x

[noelacosta]

Ringo's timing is impeccable by waiting patiently to enter at the right time.

[SuperBlackguard]

Kudos to Ringo catching on and staying playing beautiful little embellishments, they sound decking great and you can hear the joy in just playing whatever comes up and out...a certain magic in making music in this way.

One of my fav early Beatles song during Beatlemania. Good kick ass rock song.

[mannyytuarte]

They are always a joy. Rough tracks or final mixes, just wonderful. I'm glad I grew up with their music - I am lucky to have had them make my early years something more enjoyable. They were a gift.

Beatles of 69 singing the Beatles of 64 it's so different. Really cool to hear

[peliche]

Great song. Always one of my favorites from that sensational album called "A Hard Day's Night"

[VoodooDewey]

This reveals the core of a musicians mindset .Just having fun is where it all begins .

[Chrisworldd]

A hard days night is still one of my favorite albums, that whole album is extremely underrated compared to how people view their later work as their best and not blaming them because there’s no such thing as a bad Beatles album 😂 But this was Lennon’s/McCartneys first album of ALL written songs by them. The whole track list is just perfect to my ears from start to finish. This album was the beginning to what separated The Beatles to every other band making music in the 60’s, album has aged beautifully

[pedroarenas]

I grew up with their music and I still listen to their music one of greatest band ever

[anthonyrichard]

Musical group cohesion, great musicians and some help from chemicals the Beatles were the most dynamic group of our era.

[BritIronRebel]

One of the few songs that John played the lead solo on. Unfortunately, every video cuts away from him doing it. And it kicks ass for it's day!

[jbyesterday]

The messing around this way still captivated me. It’s like they’re saying “hey, who remembers……hmm, I don’t, but let’s have some smiles winging it” Their spirit, always fueled the fun only they could create ❤️

Great Tune from the very beginning. The R&B Side of the Fab4. Those were the Days my Friend. ...
