The Beatles performing “Revolution.”

“When you talk about destruction, don’t you know that you can count me out"

“I did the slow version and I wanted it out as a single: as a statement of The Beatles’ position on Vietnam and The Beatles’ position on revolution. For years, on The Beatles’ tours, Brian Epstein had stopped us from saying anything about Vietnam or the war.” - John Lennon.

“Plugging directly into the Abbey Road desk and pushing the needles into the red achieved the fuzz-guitar sound. According to George Martin “We got into distortion on that, which we had a lot of complaints from the technical people about. But that was the idea: it was John’s song and the idea was to push it right to the limit. Well, we went to the limit and beyond.”

“Revolution" was directed by Michael Lindsay-Hogg, and filmed on the 4th September 1968 at Twickenham Film Studios.

“Don’t you know it’s gonna be all right”

    From Love Me Do to Revolution in six years time, unreal how they progressed and reinvented themselves so effortlessly and organically. They are the greatest band of all-time!!

    Lennon’s opening guitar riff into McCartneys scream is perfect

    George: trashing John’s mic John: literally just vibing

    That is the best version of Revolution - without a doubt
  • @LeilaLamb
    George - “John’s mic is sh*t,” then he half smiles - cracks me up every time.

    Thankyou John for forming The Beatles back in the late '50's.

    I was born "with The Beatles" on October 14, 1962 (Love me do 5/10/1962). If I am still alive and so happy to live, it is partly thanks to them, for bringing me so much Joy and Energy. Forever and always in my heart.
