Hello Goodbye – Ed Sullivan broadcast from Nov. 1967

Beatles, 1967This is a remastered account of The Beatles performing Hello Goodbye on a promo video sent to Ed Sullivan for broadcast on his November 26, 1967 Ed Sullivan Show. The following day the Capitol 45 backed with I Am The Walrus would hit the stores. The Beatles deliver a performance as colorful as their Sgt. Pepper uniforms. It was all good fun. Ed comes on at the end to talk about how thoughtful the guys were to send him the film. Good ol’ Ed.

What version of the song is this? Is it mono or a different mastering or something? It doesn't sound "right". It sounds slow.

Loved it! The tv audience didn't see it in black and white did they?

Not sure if there were any b/w broadcasts of this anywhere but it is very possible. I know the UK would not broadcast it at all due to a restriction against mimed performances (which this obviously is). By the same token the Magical Mystery Tour film was broadcast in b/w in the UK. What a travesty.

Stacia, this is the 1982 stereo remix used for the Abbey Road Video Show. It was mixed by the late John Barrett. It may play very slightly slower but the running time of the actual music is only a few seconds longer than the standard stereo mix. I can tell a little difference though (not in the speed necessarily but in the mix itself), yet I like it just as much.

I've always thought it must be harder to pretend to play the drums than a guitar. They seem to get the short end of the stick on songs where they lip & play sync. Can any drummers out there attest to that?

I would guess you're right on that,Chip, though I'm no drummer. Don't you think, as much of a dedicated regular you are on here, you should look into getting a good avatar, instead of that generic-looking blue thing, no?

    [...] This week for the BROW I am honoring a request I received a few weeks back, to put together a small series of Beatles “take 1s”. So I am kicking this off with one I’m sure you’ll recognize. Hello Hello was the original working title of Paul McCartney’s Hello Goodbye. Although it wasn’t completed in time for the Magical Mystery Tour film, it’s coda played over the ending credits. Recording began on October 2, 1967, when the band ran through 14 takes of the backing track. Take 14 was considered the best and went on to have vocals and overdubs superimposed on it. It was quickly released on 45 as the A side of the Christmas single, and topped the charts in the US and UK by the end of the year. This recording of take 1 includes piano, drums, organ and tambourine. Paul and Ringo can be heard slowly going over the chords before engineer Ken Scott announces the take number. Apparently there were plans for an extra verse and chorus at this point as it is played through with one here. Although there is some work yet to be done on this, it would seem they were off to a good start. Note how enthusiastic Ringo is with his cymbals on this first take. For a finalized account of the song, check out the Video of the Week from a couple weeks back, which is found here. [...]
