A great track from what might be the Beatles best album.  This LP is filled with hits - one after another.

This has to be a classic 'beat the intro' number - one chord and you know what the song is. Shame it's been played gadzillions of times on radio over the last 4 decades.


 

Yeah, well, they also preached love, for a while at least.  But eventually all hypocrisy will be brought to light.

I have heard that several times before and what great fun to hear Randy Bachman break it down into it's multiple parts. It is further proof that the Beatles were brilliant.

Still has an urgent energy in spite of its general "acoustic-ness".

Love McCartney's bridge. It's hard to believe he was ever capable of such succinct rock brevity. Particularly when one considers the mess he made of his input to "Free As A Bird".

The end and the beginning-before the Beatles popular music was Percy Faith and Perry Como-I give them 10's because of the world they opened up for me and all the dopes of my generation-they said so much in a sparse time period it just cried out for acceptance!     {#Cheers}

Peace and Forgiveness can be very different things.

 
I just saw the movie "Hard Day's Night", for which the Beatles wrote the song for. I recommend it.

I also saw the first part of their "Beatles Anthology" DVD, which I also recommend. In it, George Harrison admits, "We were very tight". It is also clear from from the film, that they have put all the ill feelings behind them and forgiven each other (before Harrison and Lennon passed away).

As for peace:

1) Violence discredits (the other)
2) Violence begets more violence
3) Loop back to 1

The only way to break out of the cycle of hatred and violence is by not being hateful or violent yourself in step two, in other words, forgiving others. I think the Beatles have demonstrated to us how to practice what they have preached.

Wow! It was two guitars and one note on the bass. No wonder I—nor anyone I knew—couldn't figure it out. Thanks for this.

I think they were getting into creativity power battles.  E.g., George went off and did a 3 record LP.  Still a real shame, and I think they did "come together" in later years.

Wow - very cool. And great rendition of the tune following the story and the deconstruction of the chord. Thanks for the link!

When I used to watch the Beatles cartoon on Saturday mornings, "A Hard Day's Night" always started with that open guitar chord. I don't think I've heard that chord start this song since then (mid-1960s). Nice to hear it again!
