Wow.

This is the cutest story. I bet that is some story to tell to the family!

You are a lucky man, sir

That must of been cool

FBI open up

She's so lucky! ♥️

Must have been a honor for your sister to have seen them

Lucky woman

No, because it is perfect!

Thank you ringo that was wonderful

Even 58 years later this song is timeless brilliant. What a luck to see videos like this.

I took 3 mins appreciating it

Yes, and thx for mentioning that fact. As a recently retired ( small time ) musical performer / vocalist, ( mainly because of The Beatles ), I submit that The Beatles were one of the best live bands ever. Its too bad the maniacal screaming fans ruined nearly every concert as The Beatles could barely hear themselves along with the true, music-loving audience. Of course John and Paul collaborating made for the best songwriting teams in musical history. Flat out.

Exactly, you couldn’t really wish for two better backing singers. Doesn’t get much better than this

What an amazing song! Please correct me if I’m wrong, but I don’t know of a song that instead of having a Call-Response structure has instead a Response-Call. Paul and George anticipating John's lyrics is pure genius. Not mention the quality of the lyrics (introspection on a rock song ! ), the rich guitar work and the harmonies. And as usual, John is monkeying around before introducing probably his (or anybody’s) best song ! These 4 guys had the talent of 4000 squeezed together. It was a privilege to have lived while the Beatles were innovating everything. Most of what now seems routine and accepted in music was incredibly fresh and ground-breaking with The Beatles.

FACTS!!

Dave K True

“I’d hate to spoil the party” as John wrote, but Paul was probably stoned along with the rest of them in each video

I love this song 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

@@sonyabunkum6212 I doubt that was the case in 65... Brian Epstein their manager would never had allowed that... after he died in 67 was when the Beatles started experimenting with drugs...

bones007able they were on drugs, right from 1960. They were stoned in Help. Acid introduced in 65 66. Somewhere there.

Same XDDD

Por fin un video que no esconde al batería.

Yeah I feel it really takes a toll on the music itself

Why wasn't he playing umbrella, I think the drums sound worse

Atleast he should've been playing the floor!

*Gasp* John? Enjoying one of the songs he made? NEVER!!!

@@bigman1163you are no fun!

yes....and because the beatles were so loved and respected john couldmake anyjoke anyone one ele wouldnt dare do..........even the "bigger than jesus" comen, which wsnt a joke actually and was really true, everyone who was mad at him forgot in in a few days.

He’s like “yo guys you gotta back me up and laugh”

@@kentk9073 nope

jeffery brown yes

That's because he needs to be reminded to be on good behavior and he knows it, looking at the others for confirmation that he is not out of line.

June Asiimwe , great voice

He had my favorite voice of all of them. So much vulnerability and emotion in it.

His voice always sounds amazing

Right you are Joe. Very distinctive and rock'n'roll in a unique way.

Exactly,he was greatest

cos they had practiced gigs for years. A really experienced group.

The fact that they couldn't hear themselves while they were playing shows how tight they are as well

Это их единственное достоинство, не подтвержденное, впрочем, временем.

I agree! I'm surprised George Martin did not insist to include George on more songs than George sang on???

Yes!

truly agree

@@bigvrocks2480 It was a great combo but nothing beats Lennon/McCartney

@@Talisman09 Yo t, I meant as a harmonizer not suggesting as a writer. However, that being said, I would have like few more tunes over the life of the band in the context of the group. Your comment has nothing to do with 1954's original statement; "The vocal blend of Paul and George singing harmony into a single microphone was always magical" nor my "I agree! I'm surprised George Martin did not insist to include George on more songs than George sang on???" Don't know how you thought L&M were being slighted?

Very tight, weren't they, after years of hard work?

Truly the best musicians we have ever experienced, this was live and it sounded PERFECT!

@@TheJoeztone I like Queen better, but again that's just my personal preference

It's just amazing

I read the "Unbelievable" as umbrella

Мне 72 года! Я тоже до сих пор обожаю Битлз!!❤❤

How true is THAT? The 2 CD set: 'Live At The BBC' proves what you've stated to the nines! - A recently retired performing musician / vocalist.

I honestly think this version is better, John just sounds less scraggly overall. That's why I come back to this performance so often.

The Beatles played live many hundreds of times in the cavern and in Germany. They knew all about live music

when they returned from their second stint in Hamburg, they were simply the best live band in the UK, without a doubt

@@DrewskiacOther than fucking up the lyrics lol

you here ?

He originally was thinking it should be a slow song, but Paul and the others wanted it more upbeat

when you see your favourite memer-musician under a beatles video*-*

Yes

Mr. Thunderwolf im not haha

@stevemt Apart from John forgetting the lyrics in the second verse...

I like the vibe and they sound incredible live - all of it, especially vocals, but in verse 2 John got the line wrong repeating verse 1 and was put back on track by Paul and George’s backing vocals bringing him back to right lyric. He got Help on Help! Somehow that just makes this version of the song better to me.

​@@BobG-pi8bb Haha yeah you are right.

You can't mean that! I love the sound of today's singing robots! 😎

@@maddyg3208 lol

I’m wondering if any of it was piped in. It really does sound awesome.

@@maddyg3208 you mean autotune?

Yup

This!!

Hours and hours of stage time in Hamburg made them tight.

@@williamjordan5554 they were tight were they

Paul died in 1966. Come on, it’s obvious

Obvious to the simple residents in double-wides across Central Florida, I suppose. There's a sucker born every minute, but you don't have to testify against yourself, brah!

Saw then on the Ed Sullivan show Feb/64. I was 12. Went to school the next day. The whole school was freaking out. Love then then, growing up. Love them now.

@@bigbilltoady412 Do you mean you actually saw them live at the Ed Sullivan Theater during the taping of one of his shows, or that you saw them on television? I know The Beatles performed multiple times for the Ed Sullivan show, but of course the landmark performance that will forever be remembered in the classic rock annals of history was the first one. It was rumored that for those 3 minutes, there was absolutely no crime being committed anywhere in the entire United States solely due to the fact that everyone was tuned into their TV's to witness history in the making. Simply being around when that occurred is an incredible memory to begin with; but to have actually been there in person....Oh man!!....That would be something else entirely! That would be the type of experience one would continuously reminisce about for the remaining duration of their lives! The type of memory that would be so embedded into the very fabric of one's being so deeply; that even if that person suffered from severe dementia or Alzheimer's, later on in life, they would still, in all likelihood, remember that. So which one was it, my friend? Were you actually there, or did you witness arguably the most important performance in music history on the television? I look forward to your answer. I hope to hear your reply soon! 👍😊👍

And Ringo!

Seriously though, RIGHT?!

Same. I wasn’t even alive when John was alive, I was born 20 years after his death.

Good description. John gave the group that edge.

He's a damn legend

Nobody like him. So wish he was still with us.

You said it. The complete package. Damn he is so hot and the band are tight AF

Not the eyes tho, he was pretty much blind without his glasses :/

@@moonwalkerkop4479 Jajaja not the eyes tho🤣 but hence the iconic Glasses 🤗

It obviously depended on the venue and occasion. The big stadium concerts were pandemonium and they could hardly be heard. This is not a purely Beatle audience. it’s a variety show going out on the BBC with The Beatles as just one of many acts including comedians etc. There are obviously a few Beatlemaniacs in there but not enough to drown out the music which is why they sound so tight here.

They played a ton of shows before they got famous. What happens when you practice something a lot is you become really good at it. It's that simple.

@@Knightgil Why word your response to be condescending? I'm always struck by the tone people feel comfortable using in an online setting, versus how you would handle yourself in reality, in person. Many if not most modern bands sound sub par when live, despite ear pieces and backward facing wedges on stage to help them hear themselves during the show. I'm merely pointing out the fact that despite not being able to hear themselves, they sounded amazing. It probably has more so to do with the fact that songs were recorded in a single take back then, so the product you saw live was almost a direct copy of what you heard on the album.

The Beatles had many hours playing gigs in Hamburg in the early days. There were a very tight band. Perfection really

@@imaxdigital7052 it wasnt condescending at all, its just the way your mind reads it out that makes it seem that way

they have only 1 good song and its Help!

They're great, but The Who were far superior, Live.

Aside from the thousands of things they did better than anyone ever did them, it was just lucky that their 3 voices blended like they did. Paul's choir boy clean sound and John's gruff sound were perfect. Then add George's clarity and pronunciation and you have perfection. It's like ABBA. There are many ABBA imitators, but their voices blended amazingly!

Right!? So lovely 💕

except by paul

Except Freddie Mercury update (Aug 30th 2020): Everyone I was literally joking relax

@@joel6563 🤣🤣🤣good one.

Still lennon

@Danielzzz28 What's wrong with being inspired by a legendary band? Everyone knows that how influential the Beatles were. I really don't know what are you trying to say man, I know the entire Queen discography and there is not one song that sounds exactly like anything that the Beatles have ever done, Queen was something else. Both bands are legendary in their own way, legends support legends. Voice-wise Freddie has an incredible vocal range and a voice that can't be compared to anybody else's, there's talent in every single atom of his body. It's simply dumb to deny this, these are facts.

Well ok, I get it, they're dead (unfotunately) but what about Ringo and Paul? They're living legends! Do not skip them, please! Every Beatle is a legend. And this group? They never die!

They are I’m just talking about them, both are legends! :))

Justin who?

Back then, music was so much better! More poetic, no autotune, and not cookie cutter synthetic crap. The Beatles withstood the test of time. Few bands today will.

Larry Fletcher could music back then get you LIT ? Exactly

That right hand shuffling effortlessly all the way through!

He wasnt just a drummer he also had a successful career as a umbrella player and bike player

He could get some noise out of that small set. Ringo's drums is such an iconic satisfying sound

Amazing genius drummer

Everyone was exactly who they needed to be. It just wouldn’t be the Beatles without all 4

Late Teens

You already lived by growing up with Queen

@Disco Deaky Beatles sold 10x more than Queen

Rogue Guardian that’s awesome! I think I heard their “1” compilation and I was in love ever since

I love those bands! I wish I was alive during these times it seems so much better and interesting XD. But really though in my opinion the best music was made by Queen and Beatles

Excellent observation. No strobe lights and wacky make-up and costumes. The Beatles didn’t need.

Darling, you forgot about Ringo

Ringo wasnt that bad either! Oops

You mean 4

Kate Art Studio Ringo is brilliant , but he most certainly is no brilliant singer

UKposts Channel i think he is a pretty good singer he sings octopuses garden and it’s not bad singing

Noticed to 😂, he even yelled at him right ?

Paul and George helped him on the second verse when John started to repeat verse 1 instead of going to 2. They brought him back with the verse with their backing. They give him Help on Help!

WTF

Linkin Park .

Excellent performers really

Eagles just way better as a group singing live

One more great thing religion took from humanity :(

He already did go down as a musical genius. In fact, he’s ranked the third greatest songwriter of all time by Rolling Stone Magazine (behind Paul McCartney, who’s ranked the second greatest songwriter of all time)

Can’t forget the awesome cycling skills of mr starr

@@RealOGMudbone preach

Same!

Yes, it's remarkable how much music came from just two guitars and a bass. No keyboard, no synthesizer. And no lip-sync. The tempo is just a hair faster than on the released recording.

The fuck has overdrive to do with it?

Yes - also, another thing that is hardly ever said is how good a rhythm section Paul and Ringo were. They were perfect.

A great performance but there was definitely post production. The vocals were gussied up with some compression, etc. standard procedure to even out the projection as the singers drift off their mics slightly...a trained eye can see/hear it.....

Was depresed when Paul die sept. 66 . They need help but where happy

DakiGamesYT it’s was a thing in 1969 popular with college kids that Paul apparently died in a car crash - there are some UKposts videos of you want to look into it.

Stellars Jay lmao

Stellars Jay 🙄🙄

He was younger too...

Stellars Jay interesting I am 60 years old and never heard about what you said till now. When researching it I find it fascinating and intriguing

To hear him tell it, he was very unhappy before meeting Yoko. In fact, he calls this particular period in 1965-1966 his “fat Elvis” period when all he did was drink to excess, eat, and sit around watching tv. You can see the weight in his face here. He had many reasons to be unhappy. He was in a loveless marriage, felt trapped by fame, and felt like he had no friends. Paul was never his best friend, nor have they ever described each other as such. Except for maybe Paul after John’s death, but Paul will say anything.

Yeah, i didn't even notice it the first time.

Whoa nice catch. They really did it so seamlessly that it's hard to pick out. Just shows how much they've practiced together and how well they understood each other

Never realized that. Funny too cuz John wrote this lmao

That was Eric. He never got those lyrics right. Same with That boy, This boy.

@@GOKILisEVERYWHERE indonesia ya bro?🤣🤣

Yes.

this was one of the few live performances where the sound was great...not sure why but they must have had a better sound system...and the screaming didn't stop them from hearing themselves...maybe they actally had monitors lol

well, that was pure music from 60 :D Not now, playback ;D

They sounded great throughout 1964 ‘65 and ‘66 but by 1966 the Beatles got sick of touring but still they gave their all

It’s called real talent!

understatement :P

Well, that's because he was. 😂 Just gorgeous.

Because he was rich

OMG YES

@@fulgenzio89 🤣🤣🤣🤣

For the hair yeah

💯

So was McCartney

@@creativologist1813 true but we’re talking John though. The most unique voice in rock

@@hw343434 he just talked paul

@@hw343434 And I'm talking Paul, the most versatile voice who never sounded the same on any two songs and could rock with anyone

Except John flubbed the lyrics. But Paul/George covered nicely for him. Then Paul rolls his eyes.

I wouldn’t say better but yeah it’s pretty good

@@Cryo837 John was always getting the lyrics wrong. Even on the single of Please Please Me. I'm amazed they left it in. I must say I didn't notice at the time, probably bcause the sound quality on records and radio in those days was so crap, but now of course you can hear everything.

@@Cryo837 time stamp?

@@Cryo837 Good Observations 👌👍

The epiphone fall when they sing "help" i'm die 😂😂😂

I didn’t notice that RIP epiphone

You sure about it

Ooof, I know that feeling! I hate it when my guitar gently slips. Pun intended. 😂

Thanks I can't stop replying that now

I noticed this before I learnt how bad his eye sight was. Ironically I have terrible eye sight and didn't wear glasses for a long time. I was able to recognized it in his gaze, thinking to myself "this guy can't see shit". I had to chuckle when I learned about his decision to finally get glasses.

Blind as bat according to George 🤣😂

He doesn't seem to be that kinda fat maybe he's just that masculine but years later drugs hit him hard and went skinny.

Yes

It wasn't the fat that made him good. It was just him taking the right drugs. When he just had a drink and some uppers he was unstoppable. Then he took acid, and eventually heroin and become a shadow of what he was and lost his spark. There is no way the John Lennon of 1965 let's McCartney run the show the way he ended up doing post-Epstein's death in 1968 - 1970.

Yeah he got skinny when they became older. But I love paul, john, george and ringo #beatlesfan

There was a fat John?

John was screwing up the lyrics of 'Help' quite often. I believe the rest were expecting it to happen...

What lyrics did he mess up? I feel like I’m missing something

1:36. John sings the wrong line (should be 'But every now and then I feel so insecure'). You can see Paul&George smile at the same time. As far as I can recall he messed up the lyrics in 'Help' also , at least, in 3 out of the following recorded US shows: Shea Atlanta Hollywood bowl Huston (one of the two shows). Can't recall which he didn't... But many years ago I was playing bootlegs all day, everyday, and noticed that. John also messed up 'you can't do that' in the Poll winners concert 1964, and there too P&G were quick to cover it up. Paul had a tendancy to screwup with 'I'm down'.

@@tbdkuphk he also flubbed a whole line of help on the ed Sullivan show probably one of the most underrated live Beatles lyric mistakes

@@chrisgordon4317 He repeated verse one when he was supposed to do verse two.

Yep they had to get out of the relative poverty of Liverpool and become rich. BEATS WORKING NIGHTS IN A TOOL FACTORY!!!!!!!!!

Hard work, and luck and people around you who are as gifted as you are or better.

....and here’s why. Their Talent. Their songwriting talent. Their live-performance acumen. Their special one-of-kind-never-seen-before-never-will-again Love Bond for each other and for each other’s talents and playing. A deep deep respect. All that put together is WHY they sound so darn good and so damn great performing live. And why we will never see anything like them again. The Beatles.

Its better than the majority if pop music but its not a high quality recording

Stuff nowadays is recorded on a laptop in a bedroom

Hate to burst everybody's bubble but this was a pre-recorded lip sink

@@paulo1149 Yeah , amazing . Upon further inspection it looks like John doesn't actually sing the first HELP , it's only Paul & George. John comes in on " I need somebody " . Makes sense that George would hit the cue pitch , John didn't need worry about it .

@@durangomcmurphy1529 Exactly. It's antiphonal. Which is why John was so carefree at that point, whereas George hit the cue again because, as you pointed out, John had rambled on. An absolutely brilliant arrangement all the way through, and brilliantly performed live.
