- Just a preview of what I have been working on recently, combining all the available sources for the Beatles rehearsing on January 23 1969. I've been using a b&w VHS tape with raw footage, as well as Get Back, the sneak peek, as well as several Get Back promos to reconstruct the footage. For now, here are all the scenes in the control room. Enjoy!

I love how George was so into this track and he sounds so good on it. George was such an amazing musician.
George just played the rhythm guitar on the track.
@@michaelharrington75 Yes, but when Mal shuts off his amp on the roof, the song dissolves into nothing. That's how key the rhythm guitar was to Get Back.
@@ExtremeBeatlesArchive The rhythm guitar was ALWAYS important to Beatles' music. Drove the music.
@@ExtremeBeatlesArchive Hello, I always wondered what cords George was playing in Get Back....I know is was A to D....bur there was other cords he was playing....does anyone know ? Please post...ok ? Thanks.....John Steelman
@@johnsteelman1437 Add the G and the A7, and you’ve got them all
George digging their new piece so much, he is sit-dancing to the rhythm 🌟
George always had rhythm, he would dance while onstage playing his guitar.
Just random studio musings regarding Get Back, but you really feel like you're in the room with them.
Just a bunch of guys at work -working as a team
You can really tell they are into that song! (Get Back) because they keep singing and humming the music! they all knew it was a hit.
How about when Paul McCartney created it right before our eyes, it was extraordinary to see it!!!
@@lindakelly9552 pure genius! he is a song master that can not be compared to anyone
Absolutely true
I can't get enough of these clips. Goosebumps!
It was my 8th birthday and scrubbing our floor to a Beatles song when this was happening! 😍
You were made to scrub the floor on your 8th birthday? Was your Mom the Wicked Stepmother?
@@marine4lyfe85 ,nope; scrubbing floors was a daily chore back in the days especially if you're having a party later! 😁🥳😅
@@allandupale5288 no se porq me acorde de freddy mercury 😅😅😅😂😂 en el video donde aparece vestido de mujer bn sexy y con una aspiradora limpiando el piso jajajajaj 😆😆
It's no wonder they had a hard time getting something going with all the strangers wondering through the room.
They aren't strangers.
They made it easier not harder, and they arent strangers.
Yes, those well known scouse under achievers.
Great stuff! Thanks for sharing. The Beatles at the drawing board. Modern day classical music.
love that you said this. i agree. hendrix too
No, ancient pop music. There is plenty of actual modern day classical without drums bass and guitars that most people can play.
love seeing Paul and George in sync
Grew up with The Beatles and have maintained the obsession but they had been superseded at this point by many emerging bands. Seeing them here virtually captives of their former greatness. John especially a reduced figure. In the "beat" days he was the driving force of the band.
So let's count the hits they produced between January and September of 1969-yeah just "former greatness". The John statement I agree with but overall, man, they were on fire, so obviously I disagree. "Abbey Road" is still considered the best work they did and one of the greatest albums of all time.
@@brianmcneil6171 look at their rooftop "gig", having to do re-takes, incapable or unwilling to play before a live audience. John was right: it was Paul and friends by this stage. Look at John's 'set' in Toronto, Dizzie Miss Lizzie, Blue Suede Shoes. Now look at Stones, Doors, Creedence, Zeppelin, CSNY, Pink Floyd. Simon and Garfunkel, Doobie Brothers... all spawned by The Beatles magic i have no doubt...
Get Back is a beautiful, restored artifact but, thankfully, the fabs realised they were shot and escaped their fandom captivity.
Let's be thankful that Paul had his run as well, or much of The Beatles' greatness would not have happened at all.
@@brianmcneil6171Abbey Road is The Beatles scraping the barrel hard - and trying to sound as mainstream as possible while doing it. Apart from George's contributions and John's "Because" it's rubbish.
Some day I’ll see every second of this masterpiece.
The lightning fast rewind on the track just sounded so cool, too. They did so much with so little.
Having those cameras in their faces for over 6 years,
especially during Let it Be..
No small wonder they’d had enough of being fab.
Amazing work as always Adam!
Can’t wait for more!
The colored remastered footage looks so good! Thanks!
Ringo was actually the quiet Beatle.
Even a band that has hit after hit after hit are still buzzing when they know they have something good brewing. For most of us it never happens. For some of us it happens once. For a few it happens once or twice. For the greats it happens maybe 7 or 8 times.
For the legends it just keeps on coming.
But I think it's mostly about living in a time ready to accept the music that turns you on, and finding kindred spirits.
This is just heaven to me
Love the Beatles!!! This was very interesting.
Can you imagine all the thoughts they had that's were the magic was made Damn I miss the Beatles
It was magic ,and yes I miss The Beatles
While watching this I realised that in that very small room were not the Beatles, but George Harrison, Paul McCartney and John Lennon. Three of the most huge artists of all times, who had the privilege to work together during the beginning of their careers. It is mind-blowing if you think about it in that way.
Yes… it’s absolutely mind-blowing to see them working and chatting in a room if you think that these same humble guys changed and revolutionized the music of the 20th century and beyond, forever. And they created a musical legacy that influenced and became such an important part of our lives.
Ringo looks cool 👍🏻 the best band in the bloody Universe.
5:55 Paul making fun of Plant's golden god comment
This channel is amazing.
I think the coolest part about this video is actually hearing the playback that they heard in the control room. 😮
Man I'd like to be a fly on the wall in that studio.
Im so excited!
Meu DEUS ! Que saudade eu SINTO deles...de cada música...de cada gesto...de cada sorriso ! Especialmente George Harrison ! FORTALEZA CE
I’ve always loved the Beatles but now that we know so much more about each one of them…
Great stuff!
Satisfied with the days work and accomplishments.
nice, you can see how they cropped it in the get back doc
Fantastic.
5:30 The guy sitting on the left in the brown jacket is James Buckley who played Jay Cartwright in The Inbetweeners. People said he was too old to play a schoolboy. How right they were.
Elvis was a damn good looking guy --- I can see why they were in awe when they met him.
Too dark...
Nice combining.
Thank you, special
From Argentina. The Beatles are the best of all time.. Sorry soeak and write so so english..
Its ok brother...we understand...🙂👍
Beatles forever!
It's a planet earth kind of thing so all nationalities enjoy the Beatles the same Gillermo👍🤣🤣🤣
Your English is better than my Spanish. ;-)
We hear you brother!
"its just a sweet...sweet number"
The green shirt on John is very Shaggy and scooby
Every fillm will be this good someday
I'm confused as to how the old footage was cleaned up so well in spots.👀🤯
Film resolution is extremely high quality. Much better than digital, (generally) if captured well.
Ah, the ever present Yoko. What a surprise!
I know! That is just so weird. Did she think she would get credit for just hanging out? Nobody pays any mind to her whatsoever, almost as if she was just a puppy or something. But you can see how John is so sweet with her. She was in fact very professional by keeping very quiet so as not to disturb their work.
its crazy she would just hang around like that staring at people, its the equivalent of somebody's wife tagging along to the office and sitting at their desk all day, makes no sense any normal person would feel awkward and out of place.
The worst part was that she never seemed to appreciate the music the Beatles created. She would just sit or stand there, expressionless, like a stone.
Ah.. the ever present yoko cliche.
@@morbidmanmusic she was always there staring into space
First 52 seconds, footage that is synced to missing roll B1037 OMG
As much as I like the Beatles, I don't think I could stay in that room very long with all the cigarette smoking going on.
Update: July 2022
From some of the comments here, I guess I should mention that I am in my seventies and am a child of the turbulent sixties.
A great time to be a teen-ager. It was when these bands were actually on the road blazing new trails, performing live with songs they had just written or recorded a few months before. The road was still fresh and being paved.
It was all new and there was no such thing as "autotune" or computer algorithms churning out songs it is programing you to like.

all rooms in the 60s were smoky
@@michaelfrazia4569 i was gonna say the same thing. every plane, car, restaurant, most homes and bars were filled with smoke.
@@PatriotSteve lolll..it's incredible...I know it's bad , and I know all the negatives with it....when I look back on old talk shows , and videos such as this it really gives it that bygone era ambiance ...I remember my grandmother giving me toy cigarettes when I was like 3 or 4...nowadays , child protective services would have been at the door...as bad as it is , the smell of it sometimes will remind me of family gatherings etc.....you nailed it...it was omnipresent
@@michaelfrazia4569 I found it funny that McCartney is "ashing" his cigarette on the floor-who needs an ashtray?
@@brianmcneil6171 ash on the floor and smoke in the air were some of the secret ingredients on those beatle records ...who needs an ashtray is right!
Paul using his right hand to smoke
Oh well that must mean he was replaced by an imposter.
Thats because he drinks tea with his left hand, so smoke in right hand..
That was Faul.🤣
I'm right handed but smoke with my left.
@@staceykeeley4219 thats because you drink coffee/beer with your strong hand... well i do anyway
Como que eles conseguiram restaurar essas imagem a esse nível de perfeição??
By restoring it
George was definitely the best smoker.
Unfortunately it ended up killing him from his habit
LOL. We luv him The way he is.
Paul flipping ashes on the floor
Better the floor than the console. At least he didn't have to do like Jesus Christ at the crucifixion Who had to decide whether to hold His last cigarette in His hand, which was nailed to a crossbeam a yard away from His face, making it easy to ash into the wind but impossible to bring to His lips for a drag, or to hold the cigarette in His lips the whole time with the wind blowing the ash in His eyes. Of course, He chose to hold the cigarette between His lips, but wow, this makes me appreciate the Christ's sacrifice even more.
@@BennyMcGhee wow. ....informative
Back then people walked in grocery stores smoking and put them out on the floor. Different time.
Just get a load of the vintage late-60s recording consoles!
Lennon played lead on this...as you can see its missing George's amazing touch to play lead so much better that JL or PM ever could
Are you kidding? Paul's a better lead guitarist than George ever was.
@@SecretAgentPaul Wrong...George had "the touch"...Give me a break
I think George and Paul were both George great lead
players. Personally I thought Paul has the edge between the two of them. John was quite good as well. Get back alone can show you that.
@@dachille1 GH had a deeper level of playing....they brought him in the band b/c he was the by far the best guitarist at 14 yo
George was a great lead guitarist, obviously. But to be fair the most famous and praised Beatles guitar solo was in "Taxman" and was Paul's creation. Paul's acoustic guitar playing is also underrated af, it's about impossible to replicate "Blackbird" and "Mother Nature's Son" the same way he does. John is also underrated, one of the best rhythm guitarists ever, in fact.
What programs are all processed?
Ringo y su buen humor oh yeah!
8:16 Motley Crue mention..future prediction
George is wearing the black leather slip on shoes (size 8) he sent Mal to get earlier!!
Quando George e paul entram em sintonia musical, João imediatamente se perde .🇧🇷🤍😫✌🏼💞
super class
looks like john was more into yoko than he was in the beatles music !
If cliches were CZcams comments...
Where does that b/w footage come from?
Beatles ❤❤❤❤
Why does it switch from low res b/w to hd colour?
The footage is from different sources. The b&w stuff comes from bootlegged editing reels. Film editors often worked with b&w rather than color copies. The color stuff is from the Get Back film.
That bloody well made me jump!
8:17 is there anyone said, motley crue ???
6:50 The story that (who'sthisguy?) is telling appears to be that of the recording "It's the Same Old Song" by The Four Tops, which is said to have been written, recorded, mastered, cut, delivered and on played the airwaves all within 24 hours.
This guy is Glyn Johns 😉.
@@filippa8317 Ah. Thanks for clarifying. I'm quite familiar with Glyn Johns and his work but wouldn't have had a clue what he looked like.
@@filippa8317 He knows his shit!
@@ceilingsandfloors He's 80 years old now.
@@garychambers5850 older than Paul?
Now the space is just a warehouse of a clothing shop.
What a great pity man… it should be a museum
George trying to assert his opinion. PM doesnt really take them seriously
REAL MUSICIANS !!
And there are still real musicians. Most of you who make that silly comment just are too old or daft to know where to look. Turn off your car radio...
Wonder what Paul and Denis were intently discussing
What was the japoneses woman doing there ?
Seems like McCartney smoked quite a bit. Yet he appears to be pretty healthy today at almost 80.
Y esa espantajo de Joko Ono hay entre los Beatles donde no debe estar no me extraña que los Beatles se separasen quien aguanta a esa mujer siempre hay entre ellos y con un descaro impresionante
I agree. People seem to be trying to act as apologists for her these days, but she had NO BUSINESS being there while the Beatles were working. Of course, she was John's responsibility so he bears even more blame than her.
Darn right!
Entiende que no fue por Yoko.
Was this at Saville Row?
Yes it was.
Why did Yoko had to be there everytime the Beatles did their recording?
I tell why Yoko Ono was at these recordings because Yoko was John's wife,if you don't like this sunshine move on I watch some crap.
Because she wanted to be with the man she loved and he wanted her there it's not bloody rocket science! And I don't blame her I'd wanna be with him too.
Because she’s so annoying.
@@staceykeeley4219all the time the others didn't have their wives there all the time
Because John wanted her there. God knows why lol
who is the man talking with John at 6:20 ?
Robert Fraser was an art dealer/collector. He was actually closer to Paul. Fraser was recognized by McCartney as an influence whom introduced him to the London art/social scene in the mid sixties. Fraser had a heroin addiction as well as alcohol later. He was diagnosed with AIDS in the '80's and eventually succumbed to the disease
@@brianmcneil6171 oh yeah, I remember reading about it in Paul's book, that is in Miles' one
Footage continually flips from black and white to colour. Zzzzzzzzz
Wow Wow👏👏👍👍
Maybe the first Big Brother TV Show.
❤️
♡
Paul pretending to smoke...
Thanks again for the great video but couldn't you just left the vivid colored video instead of interspersing it with poor quality black-and-white?
Imagine being that young with that money and fame, I can see why a lot of stars don’t survive to see old age.
they were actually quite poor, relatively. the record company took all the dough
@@natmanprime4295 never heard that one, they looked like they were well off to me…
@@jer0051 Paul sez in interviews
@@natmanprime4295 The were getting shafted by executives but they weren't poor. They all wore nice clothes, drove nice cars, lived in nice homes, ate at nice resturaunts and went on vacation often. They were getting robbed but they were far from poor.
@@bahbaroni9955 hence why I said "relatively". I mean, it's not the kind of money that corrupts and drives you crazy like the original commenter suggests
Is the guy sitting next to Richy, Jackie Lomax?
Joe Mayall??
Glyn Johns
So when you colorize a black and white film...how do you know what the colors really are?
You get the right colours from colour snapshots taken at the same event.
@@JSB103 I wonder how that is done with older films like a Laurel and Hardy film?
@@ktcarl, in the case of older films, it doesn't really matter. I understand there wasn't a whole variety of colours available to dye clothing in the textile factories, but some artistic license can still be applied in colourising old B&W films.
This is not colorized film. The original is color.
It's a colour film. Give some credit to the person who spent hours and hours changing each frame into black and white.
George was so cool. Too bad thru treated him like a little brother.
@@holygeneration7
Excuse me. They not thru. I suck at texting fast. Plus it's hard to text while I'm driving and smoking a joint.
"Billy and us" says John? (1:19)
Billy Preston , bro .....not Billy Shears
Why does it keep changing from colour to black and white?
😻
00:33 Liam Gallaghers cameo
1:58...Pee Wee Herman breaks into the room!
Is the black and white footage really what Peter Jackson had to start with? And from that he made Get Back? That is amazing. But how did they know what colors to colorize everything?
I'm curious about this too. If so, that's a massive leap from where I thought we were with AI. Phenomenal!
It was all filmed in color. I think the black and white footage here is the cutting copy that got leaked somehow.
Michael Lindsay-Hogg would copy the footage to a black and white stock (cause it was cheaper, I think) and sync up the Nagra audio tapes there.
I think that's what we're seeing.
'Paul , what's the possibility of you using another Bass' ..... totally edited and dropped in a completely different place in the 'Get Back' film.
there are alot of parts edited on to random parts!! The “Private” conversation between John and Paul has cuts all over the place!!
@@spzm3x How do you know that ?
@@Fanquesfair watch the Get Back doc some words don’t match the lips moving
@@spzm3x "some words don´t match the lips moving"...Its explained in the beginning of every episode...And, all the Get Back documentary its edited, man. It last almost 9 hours...And theres 55 hours of images a 170 of only sound....
@@rafaelesquinardo1086 never argued with that part, read the original comment i was simply explaining footage does not match with the audio.
who is next to Paul?
Dennis O'Dell. He just recently passed away. He was a British movie producer who worked on A Hard Day's Night and Magical Mystery Tour. Dennis was part of their Apple organization. He can also be seen with John and Paul at the May 1968 press conference in New York City to announce the launch of Apple.
@@markzappasodi
Thanks for explaining this
"Let's hear it for Dennis O'Dell."
…’evening and welcome to slaggers’
@@Greathall75 on You Know My Name (Look Up The Number), John refers to Denis as Denis O'Bell.
Unfortunately, I can't watch it because the video always changing from gray to color. It is very annoying.
But you did watch it...
Interesting but the changing from colour to b & w is a little annoying.......
I was alive. A year old
7:23 "I love black and white" - film then insultingly switches to color for a few seconds 🤣🤣
Hey Buldog, Dig a Pony e A Hard Days Night...
7:45 jajaja
SIEMPRE ME A DETESTADO LA FORMA EN QUE FAUL EVADE E IGNORA AL GRAN GEORGE!!!
