Показать описание
This is my reconstruction of all that was filmed at The Beatles’ recording session for Hey Jude at EMI / Abbey Road Studios. I have taken all the clips released on HMC’s disc and properly sequenced and synced them. It is worth noting that I have had to use audio from other takes for some clips, due to a lack of availability for most outtakes. In addition, there are some clips where audio cuts off abruptly, which is due to only a portion being released, and quickly edited to something else in the original Experiment in TV special. I have also fixed the significant green tint on many of the clips. Enjoy!

the more we see of 66-69 Beatles the more we understand what a creative monster Paul McCartney was. its actually baffling how you have him and John Lennon in the same band, being from the same area and the same age. And whilst John Lennon was seemingly quite a bit lazier and happy to just chill and enjoy his life, McCartney must have understood that he had to make the most of his youth and energy and get as many songs and projects down before age tamed the fire. Seeing as Georgie Harrison also came up with some great tracks is the conclusion we come to that talent for creativity isn’t born but earned? A skill to be honed and worked at. Otherwise how else can you explain how all this talent came together in one group in one moment in history.

Was busted up in Nam in 68' - came back to the states and was recuperating in St. Albans Naval Hospital in Queens NY - when this song come on the radio. I started to sing along with my voice ringing down the ward hall - in few minutes the whole wing of the hospital was singing along - the head nurse come in to shut us up - BIG MISTAKE - we kept on singing louder and louder - for about a week this song came on the radio about the same time each morning - really raised the spirits of the wounded - something that was really needed - this song has a special place in my heart today almost 45 yrs later!

Paul's voice when he was in his prime is just un-f&*kin believable. So smooth and easy and just so so fine. Wow.

I love how Paul hits the first note at 0:13 perfectly but then briefly glides through his range to then go back and hit the note perfectly again. A master at work…

I think I was 9 y.o. when Hey Jude was released. I know it was summer and we kids were all playing around the neighborhood. I remember when we first heard this song coming from some teenager’s radio, we all just stopped what we were doing and just listened. It was weird, but it’s true. It was like some magic spell hit us.

17:07, George Martin tells Paul over the talkback that "there was some great moments of singing in that, Paul, but it wasn't the one." By even many professional musician's standards, Paul had just laid down a banger of a track, but Martin just knew he could get more out of him. Such a cool moment, to me.

My dad first heard this song when he was 15, it was 1969 and we live in Indonesia. But at the time, he lives in a village in northern part of the Island of Sumatra. He said he was at my grandfather small rice fields to do some works (that's how many Indonesian do in 1960s). Their only family entertainment was a small radio, no smartphones or even television, just radio. He said it was on that afternoon he heard Hey Jude for the first time, and he was mesmerized by the soothing melody and somehow uplifting mood from the music, and he didn't even understand a single word on that songs because he didn't understand or speak English. Although years from that moment he start learning and understand English, but he still in awed how Hey Jude inspired him to do better in life. I thanked The Beatles and Sir Paul for this everlasting song

As a kid when The Beatles were active, this is great to see. It was a magical time to be alive. The greatest band in history bar none, they still make you happy sixty years later.

Ringo does some sweet stuff on here. I'm a bass player, and I think he provides the exact feel that makes bass playing fun. he's a sly genius.

Ringo never gets the credit he deserves. He's left handed, playing right handed drums. He's brilliant and was really respected by other muscians.

That first take Paul sounds perfect. That’s the most pure and honest I’ve heard him sound

There are some songs so perfect they sound like they must have always existed, even before someone wrote them; they transcend time. This is one of those songs.

Lovely to see Ringo listening to Paul singing and figuring out what was needed, he isnt playing …he is listening and thinking, not a side of him he allows out much, but that is what is SO GOOD about this film…..those of us who grew into people as the Beatles became more and more amazing know every nuance of their voice and humour but this is a window into genius

It's amazing how perfect they sound just playing live off the floor. It makes you realize how authentic and unaltered their recordings were. Paul's vocals sound better in one take than most modern vocalists do after countless takes pieced together and digitally corrected.

The Beatles only played music in 10 years, but they will influence music in the world for 10 centuries ahead.
