      I absolutely agree. This is an album that should ONLY ever be played from Come Together all the way through to Her Majesty. It is an absolute masterpiece on every level - musicianship, songwriting, production. What they did with this album was just incredible although given that it sat later in the catalogue after Revolver, Sgt Peppers and the White Album, I think people had already come to expect this high level of expectation for the band. Shame 'Let It Be' sits a bit like a 'lets get this over with' at the end of their catalogue.

      @@hw343434 Yes, I know this... I'm just simply saying in terms of discography release, it feels very much like an after thought. The band were experiencing the same challenges with Let It Be (or Get Back as it was originally going to be called) as they did with recording the The Beatles, including George leaving the band at one point. Ultimately, it was too ambitious as an idea and caused disharmony more than the harmony the whole concept had hoped to bring.

    We need to remember that, at the time, virtually everything they did was 'outside the box'. It's just that we have the benefit of hindsight. A lot of what they did THEN, appears more mainstream to us NOW, because it's become so. They were pioneers, who did so many things first. This song STILL stands out as something different and unusual though. :)

Amazing how long ago this was made and how it holds up. If you get the chance, put on headphones and listen to Sgt. Pepper start-to-finish. Even better if you do it on vinyl and have to take a break and flip the record where the band intended that to happen. So glad to see you appreciating this.

      I agree with Harry in that I think this is as adventurous as any Beatles song ever. It showcases John’s incredible guitar riffs and his voice is good including that visceral scream before the last segment, Ringo playing polyrhythms and mixing it up throughout each verse, Paul doing a murderous bassline, George with the perfect accompanying lead as always… Billy Preston on keyboards and John on the Moog white noise at the end before cutting the tape.

      Although I LOVE this medley, I wonder if he can devote that much time to this monster. It's about 16 minutes in all. I can't see him trying to just review bits and pieces of it, though. He'd have to do the whole thing.

    Awesome reaction as always Harri. Side 2 of Abbey Road is legendary because much of it is concept. Not sure how you can do this, but starting with "You Never Give Me Your Money" and all the way to "The End" is like one long song as they blend one into another. I hope you will experience it that way and perhaps do your video of it all together, dividing it up with comments, as you normally do to avoid issues. I see you haven't done "Here Comes The Sun" as it, and the second song "Because", are two separate songs that can be isolated in two videos. Recommend those first, then begin You Never Give Me Your Money up to The End as one long video coverage. When you hear Side 2 in its entirety, you'll see and hear what we mean. Regards! ✌️😎

    Abbey Road was released on 26 September 1969, seven weeks before my sixteenth birthday. I listened to the entire album every day for a year. I had to! If I could have only one "rock" album, it would be Abbey Road. I believe the album captures the essential spirit of the era (1969~70), culturally, in both the U.K. and the U.S. more acutely than any other musical work.

What its entirely about, who knows.. but for some reason im not thinking Yoko is quite the muse we think she is. And im not a Yoko hater..just think John voice is not nec pleading for her. I mran , he "had" her. 24 hrs. Also that this is the last song they all played on together at the same time , just adds to the overall haunting , "heavy" , sad sound. And the abrupt ending seems illustrative of how one might get out of an "obsession" such as what John mightve been immersed in. Something or someone must end it abruptly.

    I was born in 1956 and well remember when the Abbey Road album came out - I was 13 and we had seen the moon landing a few months earlier. I must say, "She's so Heavy" (which I later figured John wrote about Yoko) really does "hold up well" over 50 years later. I'm almost retired now and signed up for Medicare, but consider the stark difference between the eras. Go 50 years forward from Abbey Road and what is getting the most air time now? Drake, Rihanna, Post Malone, Harry Styles ... but go 50 years back ... it's Scott Joplin rags and (very) early N'awlins jazz. Yes the Beatles really did cover a helluva lotta ground in the five years from "Wanna Hold Your Hand" and "She Loves You" thru Sgt Pepper, White Album and Abbey Road. Top artists today can wait 5 years just between album releases. We really will never see anything like them, long after I'm gone. Quite fortunate to have lived thru it back in my childhood. We grew up and they did too - at almost the same rate.

Another song that shows a basic blues riff and thirteen words, and some cool bass, and the best drummer in the world, and you get an awesome song.
