Wow !!
I haven't heard the actual track from start to finish - so what I haven't managed to work out, is if John Lennon's piano playing is actually in the recording or not - whether throughout the song, or even just in parts...... or did they just use his vocal ?

Richard, you should watch the video as all is explained. John's voice is there, his piano part is in there, but is not what you hear in the mix. Paul replicated George's slide guitar part, but some of George's playing is audible. So it really is all four of them recording together. It might not be the best song they ever wrote and recorded, but it is the last one and it's a beautiful thing.
I guess that the next time a new Beatles song is created it will be written and performed by AI technology. Who is this Al person? 🤓

This is really a beautifully made piece of work.
Not a dry eye in the house after watching this one.

I have to admit I'm in several minds about this. All friends now in the alternate reality.

I was never even much of a Beatles fan. Elvis & other Rock&Roll stuff as a young teenager, from th elate 70's & early 80's, THEN I got fixated with Blues music (and still am !!). I have developed an appreciation of the Beatles talent over the years - so I know (now) that their body of work is incredible (and remarkable). But that video was wowza !! (with what the technical audio & video wizardry that has been done to produce that music video) Wow !

Me too... via my mother's love of that music, from being a toddler onwards I was a serious Elvis & Rock'n'Roll fan. One of the defining moments, among many, in my musical education, was the Elvis Presley 68 Comeback Special. But of course I grew up in the time of the Beatles, Rolling Stones and that whole 60s thing, so it's part of my DNA. Shine On Michael

Massive Beatles fan here. They were there at the right time and just did it. Opened up the world for my generation. I watched the Beatles Anthology a while back and thought you could not make this amazing story up. I sort of think of it as before the Beatles the world was black and white. The Beatles appeared and we are then in glorious full colour. Their story is more than just music. They went along for the ride and what a ride. Culturally, they helped to make the UK very cool. As for this song, I don’t think it is that important whether it is the best thing they ever wrote or recorded. It is great just to hear them all together on one recording. I was amazed with the technology of how they managed to separate John Lennon’s voice from the piano……… how did they do that. I just loved it!

the first 33.333 vinyl album i ever bought was at age 12,"Help". my older brother and i pooled our vast financial resources to pull this $14.00 allocation off. being just preteens at the time, soon heated debates broke out about which side of the record the other member owned.
%#$&@ kids anyway!
afterward, with a newspaper delivery route on a bicycle financial independence set in and the young mitchfit got every LP released up to when the so called "White Album" was released in '68.
with this being a rush job to meet X number of LP's contract requirements by X date, it was their first double record offering. all at a time when the band was starting to fall apart. feel i am being fair to point out that many fans were less than impressed.
many new and even after gone, popular bands were forming at the same time. going all new directions that rock music had never heard before. it soon became "cool" to diss the Beatles as yesterday, not today.
many years downstream myself and other former fans and even future fans realized the industry had abandoned ship on the Beatles too soon when the 1978 complete works collection was released.
just my opinions,
mitchfit

I was born in 1957, so in real time I saw and heard The Beatles as a child. In 1971-72 I started buying records and going to gigs, and The Beatles seemed very remote from what was going on at that time. The main bands from the 60's, to my 15 year old self, seemed to be Cream, Hendrix and The Stones.Most, if not all, the music I listened to was deafening guitar based rock - call to glam, heavy, blues rock, prog or space - that's what it was.
It was only through reading about music that I was alerted to the fact that Sergeant Pepper was regarded as psychedelic, and what that meant. So I got a copy and thought it was wonderful. And still do. But it was hardly the soundtrack to growing up in the 1970's Manchester area.

Not a fan of the Beatles but post Beatles George Harrison fan, to replicate his standard tuning slide unless it is AI will not sound like George as we know we are all entrenched in our own signature style.

Strange that we have had new singles by both The Beatles and The Stones released in the last month. Unlikely that anybody in 1963 would have predicted that happening.
