They stopped playing live around '66-66. Their last ever show (excluding the rooftop performance in January '69, was in 66.

Seafroggys 09-23-2005 07:38 PM

Candlestick Park, San Fransisco was their last gig, excluding the Apple Rooftop performance, and the Our World broadcast (or whatever it was called)

Yeah the one world thing was pretty cool. The first ever worldwide tv broadcast. The beatles played "all you need is love" with members of the rollings stones and other bands. Paul wrote "your mother should know" for the one world thing but All you need is love was better

My sister/dad got some Yellow Submarine one in England, they have 52 different illustrations, and they are all gilded on the sides and come in a little tin

I wouldn't be surprised if the tin has been anonomously stolen by some random pot-smoking member of my family by now

On the Anthology albums, there is a take of Strawberry Fields Forever, when Ringo really plays awesome, I'm not a drummer, so I woudn't know what it is he's doing, but it like a thunderstorm, at 120 bpm.

[QUOTE=Seafroggys]Yeah, if you listen to We're Not Gonna Take it off of Woodstock, they speed up horribly I believe the second time they go through the "Listening to you..." stanza. I thought it was intentional that they speed up through the song, until I heard the studio version.

IMO it does sound better slowly speeding up, but it was just one rapid change and pretty much kept that tempo, maybe going a little faster. Enough to say that it wasn't intentional.[/QUOTE]

People do make mistakes when they play live, but Ringo probably doesn't know so much about that( :p ). It's hard to fault a guy who plays for 2-3 hours a night for making a mistake when there is little record of Ringo's live playing.

But clearly Ringo has been playing live since the 70's until now. And the early 60's before the beatles stopped touring.

Something that has somewhat confounded me:

People were so anal about taking apart every last bit of obscurely irrelivent innuendo present in Beatles album covers (for example,t he ones that decided that the Abbey Road cover indicated Paul's passing, etc) missed the back cover of McCartney's "Ram".

looky:

There are two pictures of beetles involved in some sort of mating activity, which is more obvious innuendo than Paul's lack of footwear on Abbey Road. How come nobody came up with any crazy stories about this?

WelcomeToTheMachine 09-24-2005 07:33 PM

Wow, the Beatles cards are worth as lot less than i thought, the 3rd set is going for 35 dollars,and my friends only got like 30 of the second set

BludgeonySteve 09-24-2005 11:33 PM

Hehe, Beatles cards. Only in the 60s could a band have personalized cards :)

Maybe no one cared anymore by that point :p

I find the Sgt. Peppers cover much more creepy than that Abbey Road one (open palm over Paul's head, design resembling a car in flames while a girl watches, Paul only one facing directly forward, Set up to look like a funeral), I'm sure we've all looked this up before though.

The Clash 09-25-2005 10:50 AM

[QUOTE=Walrus Gumboot]I guess you're the first to see him in this thread, I'm gonna see him next Tuesday[/QUOTE]


Your gonna be amazed man. Paul McCartney sounded better than he did on any of his previous tours. He looked younger too. It was an unforgetable expierence.

Ill list some of the beatle songs paul played off the top of my head
- Magical Mystery Tour (He opened with this)
- Please Please Me
-Blackbird
- I Will
- Drive my Car
- Get Back
- Hey Jude
-Helter Skelter
-Penny Lane
-Let It Be
- The long and winding Road
-Yesterday
-Back in the USSR
- She came in through the bathroom window
-Sargaent Peppers Lonely hearts club band
-The end

Wings Songs he played
-Live and Let Die
-Band on the run
-Good Day, sunshine
-Maybe Im Amazed
-Ill follow the sun
-Jet
-Fine Line (Not a wings song, I know)

Thats all i can think of right now, He played for over 3 Hours and he had 3 encores. He was amazing, the crowd loved him. He Blew me away. He played every song i wanted to hear him play and even suprised my by playing songs such as I will and Magical mystery tour.

Hey Jude was so fun, The end was amazing. Live and Let Die was another song that he did great. He did every song great, but those 2 stuck out to me.

BEST CONCERT EVER!! Better than red square. PAUL MCCARTNEY IS THE BEST! WAY BETTER OF A CONCERT THAN THE ROLLING STONES! GO SEE PAUL MCCARTNEY IF YOU CAN!

Whooo I can't wait!

The best (worst) part is that I have to give a speech in front of the entire school to announce my candidacy for the School Representative to the Board of Education the morning after the concert. And I will be getting back from this thing around 3am and getting up to go to school aroung 6am

I should probably get writing that speech. Maybe I will go up on the stage, say "screw it" and start tap dancing

Yes. Do that. Or just make up the speech on the spot. Or tell them about how awesome Paul McCartney is. When are you seeing him?

October 8th for me. Can't wait! :cool:

It might also be more productive to express my feeling for the board of education through a particularly emotional harmonica solo in D

GeorgeHarrison 09-25-2005 04:25 PM

i wish on those set lists he would have played a song called "Friends To go" if you have heard his latest album youll know what im talking about.

If you havent heard his new album, Go......get.,...it....now......buy...buy...buy. It is amazing.

GeorgeHarrison 09-25-2005 04:27 PM

P.s those set lists made me jizz myself. I <3 Helter skelter.
I<3 She came in through the Bathroom window.

(Fantastic Bass)

















(I think it was done by Mr. Harrison.)











(I could be wrong.)

robo2448 09-25-2005 04:34 PM

I'm pretty sure George did do bass on Helter Skelter.

GeorgeHarrison 09-25-2005 04:46 PM

That oes for She came in through the bathroom window as well.
I think.

The Clash 09-25-2005 05:52 PM

Mccartney also played flaming pie

The Clash 09-25-2005 05:54 PM

Nahhhh Na Na NA NA NA NAAAA
NA NA NA NAAAAAAA HEY JUDE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

^Highlight of the concert^

You sing that forever and Paul has all the guys go then all the ladys go then he has just the balcony go and then the floor go and its really awesome!

Relmar 09-25-2005 06:26 PM

I just listened to the White Album for the first time. I've listened to all their catalogue up to this point, and only Let it Be and Abbey Road remain.

WOW!!

The tracks are exceptional, especially on the first disk. While My Guitar Gently Weeps brought me to tears... this is perhaps the best song ever written. This definately puts Sgt. Pepper to shame.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again. The White Album is overrated. I don't know, there must be something there, but it just doesn't do it for me.
