Talk:All You Need Is Love

message: I read somewhere in "The Book of Beatles Lists" (I have forgotten who the author is but will post it up when I find it out) that the recording of "All You Need is Love" featured guests such as Mick Jagger, Keith Moon, Keith Richards, and Patti Harrison (plus some others I also have forgotten). Were these people also present in the "Our World" telecast in which the Beatles performed this song?  -- —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 4.252.145.157 (talk • contribs) 16:48, 7 August 2005.
:  In answer to your question, yes the guests were on the live broadcast. (I remember; I saw the show in 1967 - the Summer of Love.) It was rather astounding to see the Rolling Stones there singing the choruses, since rock bands were often portrayed by the media as "rivals" when in fact they often helped each other out, e.g., writing songs for each other.

message: re: this sentence: "She Loves You" (spontaneously ad-libbed by Lennon)"
Actually, it was ad-libbed by McCartney....watch the performance...McCartney is the one singing the excerpt of "She Loves You"
- I would say it was them both. If you watch the Youtube Video of the performance (which of course might be out of sync) beginning at 3:27 it clearly shows Lennon singing it, but McCartney also seems to be singing along, really hard to tell though, who was the initiatior. Going by expression, I would say Lennon, McCartney doesn't seem to enthusiastic about it.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.34.194.150 (talk) 03:56, 8 April 2009 (UTC)

message: One of the two trumpeters in the orchestra is David Mason, who played the piccolo trumpet solo on "Penny Lane." I've seen written sources (including, I believe, Lewishon) who claim that Mason used the same piccolo trumpet for "All You Need is Love." But in the video, it is clear that neither musician is playing a piccolo -- from the size of the instruments and what I can make out of the fingerings on a small, low-quality Flash copy, they are most likely playing D trumpets. (The Bach lick at the end would be well within the range of a D, low enough that a Bb/A piccolo is unnecessary, and the parts would involve some awkward fingerings on the latter instrument, but be very simple to play on a D trumpet.)
Also, has anyone else ever noticed the obvious, almost comical "double take" Paul does when the trumpets make their first entrance during the ending? I find that odd -- there were several rehearsal takes done before the live broadcast, so surely Paul knew that the trumpets would suddenly come pealing in at that point?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by StanislavJ (talk • contribs) 15:03, 15 February 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  About the trumpet players 

message: You miss one of the songs at the end.   I believe Paul(?) is imitating the old TV show themesong, "Rawhide," when he goes "EEEEE-HI!"
Also, I heard when this song first came out that there are close to 20-25 other songs hinted at in "All You Need Is Love."   I only came up with 8 or so.   But if you listen to the various versions, little bits keep sneaking out.

message: The personnel list in the article seems off; for example, I doubt (but could be wrong) that John played harpsichord and banjo for the song, and I'm certain that George, as talented as he was, was not a violinist.  Does anybody have a more accurate list somewhere so that the page can be updated?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.241.195.252 (talk) 19:41, 6 October 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: The personnel section closely  matches the list in Ian MacDonald's Revolution in the Head. MacDonald said Harrison "insisted on playing violin, an instrument he'd never previously touched." — John Cardinal (talk) 22:01, 6 October 2009 (UTC)

message: I added this reference as it's been confirmed in the documentary Don't Knock Yourself Out (included in the 2009 DVD/Blu-Ray release of the series) that the Beatles directly gave permission for the song to be used in the last episode of The Prisoner. And while songs like "Ticket to Ride" have had to be removed from home video (DVD, VHS) releases of shows like Doctor Who, all home video versions retain the original All You Need is Love on the soundtrack, which itself is a notable fact. 68.146.81.123 (talk) 18:14, 2 February 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: To create a formal citation, we need more information about the documentary: title of the documentary, the year is was released, the format, the director, the name of the person who described the use of "All You Need Is Love" in the series, etc. You may not have all that, but the more you have, the better. If you don't know how to add a citation, reply with the info here and I'll do it. — John Cardinal (talk) 18:19, 2 February 2010 (UTC)

message: Changed 12/8 back to 4/4. I included it in the 12/8 "article" and I'm included here for clarification.
As a trained and educated musician, this is the most absurd thing I have ever heard- this is mathematical, musical minutiamaximus at it's absolute worst. Whomever "wrote" or "inserted" this nonsense is picking gnat sh-t out of pepper, with a shovel; on which all this nonsense belongs on. In AYNIL, the phrasing of the ("All you need is Love) chorus comprises eight beats spread over two measures of 4/4; 1 measure with five notes of lyrical melody, 1 measure of 4/4 with five notes of musical melody in the horn response over three measures (12 beats) of its four measure length- but the fourth measure of the chorus is in 6/4. Or is the last measure of that fabulous and ever-singable chorus is in 3/2, 1/2-3, or perhaps 18/12 or even 36/24 or better still, 1.0/.666 ad-infinte- and/or nause-um. Where's the friggin' 12??Dcrasno (talk) 07:40, 26 September 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I Googled "All You Need Is Love sheet music", and found examples of 7/4, 4/4-3/4, and even 12/8.  What do the reliable sources say about the musical structure?  GoingBatty (talk) 02:26, 26 April 2013 (UTC)

message: This is the only article from a beatles's single that appears on a studio album (magical mystery tour and yellow submarine ) where that it isn't noted. I've edited that, but the edition has been reversed, arguing that when it was released, the song it wasn't from an album. That's true, but in that case, it should be the same for all the articles from the second side songs from magical mystery tour. Strawberry fields, hello goodbye, peny lane... All that songs where released months before the american album where they were compilated. Today, the american version of Magical Mystery tour is the "official" version, and as an album of the beatles official discography, i think that all we need is love should note that this song is part of that album.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dustz (talk • contribs) 18:39, 18 December 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Singles that were released at or around the same time as the album, which were used to promote the album, are considered to be 'from' that album. 'All You Need is Love' was not on an album in the UK at the time of its release. This has been discussed before, and you are correct that none of the songs on side 2 of the American MMT should be noted as being from that album. Radiopathy •talk•   18:48, 18 December 2011 (UTC)

text: EDIT: Hello, Goodbye was released within days of the MMT LP in the US and should be included. Radiopathy •talk•   20:21, 18 December 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Why not part of an album?? 

message: "While the chorus maintains a steady four-in-a-bar" ?????? It does not! Does anybody know how to musically count? It's just like regular counting. The chorus of AYNIL is six measures of 4/4 and a seventh measure of 6 beats (6/4). Count it for criminies sake!Dcrasno (talk) 20:06, 18 December 2011 (UTC)

message: I seem to recall from Geoff Emerick's autobiography that AYNIL was written specifically for the broadcast (or so he remembers). When I find the reference, I'll add Emerick's POV to the section.

message: I removed some inaccuracies. The verse melody starts on the triad (B), not the fifth (D), as stated. The chord progression stated is wrong, the correct is I/V/vi (no seventh on the dominant). But I see no reason for mentioning such a mundane chord progression outside of a formal analysis. The bass does not play a lot of non-root-chords, as stated. It does play a lot of conventional passing-notes, however. The statement "notes with the concluding G note corresponding not to the tonic G chord, but acting as a ♭ 3rd of the Em chord; this also introducing the E note of the Em chord as a 6th of the tonic G scale" is absurd, as there is no dominant chord to E minor involved.

message: I have a bootleg version of the song from the bootleg album Ultra Rare Trax Vol.4. This version is at 5:00 total time and without the fadeout. It's the audio from the TV broadcast. At the beginning of the track is John singing "She Loves You", and George Martin can be heard talking in the control room, and the sound of tape rewind. The song starts at 0:28. At the end of the track, a voice can faintly be heard saying something, could be George Martin. What is he saying. I can hear "Happy new year, everybody". But is he saying that? Wasn't that recorded 14 and 19–25 June? Not on New Years Eve. That's weird. Someone that knows? --NRKfan (talk) 07:05, 8 November 2017 (UTC)
