Another notable feature is silence. Note how the entire band stops playing after " I'll send all my loving to you " around the second mark. Then McCartney's voice opens the next verse a cappella for the first two words "I'll pretend " , giving the band a visceral edge when they crash back in.
Ringo Starr 's swooshing, opened hi-hats help tremendously. The song feels extra significant in the band's lore, partly because of the Ed Sullivan spot — so it's fascinating to remember that they never released it as a single in the U.
Regardless, a Canadian-issued single was imported into the States, and the track wound up at No. That guitar work is incredible. When they did it live George sang the melody and Paul the higher harmony. Of course. You can hear it exactly one minute into the song. Anyone else? A beautiful ballad by Paul McCartney. Other than that I agree with you completely. Perhaps if he actually had any role in the selection of the tracks. And there is no proof that I know of that he did. That particular compilation was not released where I live anyway.
Even if he did view the song as such I would still find my self questioning his reasoning on account not only of the tempo but also the driving instrumentation that complements it. It was The Beatles trying to do a Chet Atkins style of country-ish song. I love the version with the hi-hat intro. At least one of the mentioned releases also had a lot of echo, so the first two words could be heard in headphones at least like three times before the real track starts.
The hi-hat clicks five times. In later years, Paul counts in slower, only one, two, three. Hey, raise your hand if your entire music life was turned upside down, when you heard this song on the Ed Sullivan show 52 years ago? But in modern times he just count I actually prefer the live version of this great song. I like George singing along with Paul, plus he adds the little guitar flourish at the end of each verse like he does at the end of the instrumental break.
I thought for sure that Lennon, still considered the leader of the group, would have selected or demanded a tune that would have featured him instead of Paul. Was it a group decision for the set list or did Brian dictate what would be played and when that eventful night??????
It is indeed an interesting choice. I saw her standing there was the opener on the first album. The song would be used as concert opener in June But All my loving was the first track on the more recent second album, so I guess that is the reason. Had they chosen the current concert opening number then Roll over Beethoven would have been played, but I am sure they wanted to concentrate on original songs as much as they could.
Best song on the Album and one of the best from the early years hands down. Works great as a rock song but also as a ballad like I heard in some covers. We were on a tour bus going to a gig and so I started with the words. I had in mind a little country and western song. We played the Moss Empire circuit a lot, and there were always these nice big empty backstage areas.
The places have all become bingo halls now. It was a good show song, it worked well live. You know, that was on the album and the first person I heard single it out was the disc jockey David Jacobs, who was pretty hip. Still is actually — he knows pop music. He was always quite an expert, for one of the older generation.
I remember him singling it out on his radio show and I think from that moment it did become a big favourite for people. And I heard it differently. I always liked it. Latest Comments.

MikeP Sunday 21 October Gustavo Monday 21 June Paul double-tracked his vocals. Nor John or George sings on this one. After arriving at the location of the gig, he wrote the music on a piano backstage.
John Lennon 's rhythm guitar track uses quickly strummed triplets similar to "Da Doo Ron Ron" by The Crystals, a song that was popular at the time.
McCartney added a walking bass line. It has been hypothesized that the piece draws inspiration from the Dave Brubeck Quartet's song "Kathy's Waltz", about Brubeck's daughter. They recorded the song on July 30, in eleven takes and three overdubs. The master take was fourteen overdubbed on take eleven. It was remixed on August 21 mono and October 29 stereo. A slightly longer stereo edition of the song, featuring a hi-hat percussion introduction not found on the common stereo or mono mixes was released in Germany and the Netherlands in on a compilation album entitled Beatles' Greatest.
The first US release was on Meet the Beatles! The song was used twice in films by the group - it plays in the background at the end of the nightclub scene in A Hard Day's Night though without the drums opening and the coda , while an instrumental version appears in the movie Magical Mystery Tour.
