There's a lot of beatles footage on [url]www.youtube.com[/url] they've even got the Beatles cartoons! One of my favourite videos is The Rooftop concert when they play Don't Let Me Down. When John comes out of the chorus and sings ga ga go go ja ja blu blu, and cracks up a little. I always enjoy hearing artists crack up in their songs. Bob Dylan does it often on his albums.

[QUOTE=Seafroggys]there's a lot of laughs in all their music

and I think its just an instrumental jam....but I could care less![/QUOTE]

I know what your saying in tracks like Dig a Pony off of Let it Be you can here Lennon babbleing some random unintelligenble stuff.

[QUOTE=LeperMessiah]I'm sure Paul has it hidden away somewhere in his closet.[/QUOTE]

If thats the case then I'm about to commit the worlds biggest caper,:thumb:
Who's with me?

The last post was on the 6th!!! So...

What are your Beatles DVD collections like? I've got "Paul McCartney: Live In Red Square," "Yellow Submarine" and some cheap documentary called "The Beatles: Liverpool to San Fransisco." I've also got "Imagine: John Lennon" and "A Hard Days Night" recorded on my digital cable. I tried to order the Help DVD awhile back from HMV, but they said it was discontinued. I fell to my knee's and wept.

I don't have a single Beatles DVD...

/falls to knees and weeps...gently...:cool:

I only have A Hard Days Night, First US Visit and Paul McCartney's Back in the US.

It's funny reading about when they were filming Help! in the anthology book. They describe it as though there wasn't a single moment when they weren't stoned during that movie.

On DVD and/or VHS I own

Yellow Submarine
Help
Hard Day's Night
Magical Mystery Tour
Let it Be
Back in the US
Concert for Bangladesh
Shea Stadium
Budokan Stadium? (don't remember the venue off the top of my head)
Anthology

Oh goodness... the days when I thought 'Come Together' would be the only Beatles song I would ever like are long gone.

I know its probably cliche, but Sgt. Pepper is really one of few records I can sit down and listen to in its entirety.

Bandmates too, they were each so unique and talented.. Ringo is underrated as a drummer, Oh Darling! proves it.. as a songwriter/singer as well, who couldn't go for the No No Song now that ive mentioned it? :P Or hell, With a Little Help From My Friends!

Eh.. I'd write something about them all.. but im gonna give bed another go, and you know how talented they are as is. Ringo was just the first to hop into me mind.. arrr mateys. OK, time to go before someone wets my pants.

Got to wake up to listen to my new Abbey Road album tomorrow.. that might be what's keeping me up. :p Doesn't help that im on a huge Beatles kick lately..

I don't own any Beatles DVD's or movies. It's a shame.

I actually don't think a 22 minute jam would go too well with Helter Skelter. I don't know, The Beatles just don't strike me as a band that would do super well in jam situation.

I dissagree they are all very talented at the instruments they play, work well together, and have proved that they can hold their own in a solo. I think it would be amazing to hear a song that featured a drum solo by Ringo, a bass solo from Paul and John and George trading licks for a solo. Both John and George's style are different enough from each other so they could hold their own in two different types of solos. The only flaw I would see is isn't John on bass for that song? If they were to jam for that long I would rather hear Paul on bass, but he is a good guitarist as well so that might work well too.

I actually think that George plays bass on that track.
Clapton would also be on guitar. That would be pretty cool. And Paul could just do these vocal things every now and then as the rest of the band jams.

Yeah Paul could also chime in with piano every once in a while too. Oh god if this happened there would be no quistion, this would be the greatest song of all time.

Piano in Helter Skelter? That's perposterous! That'd be awesome to hear that jam though. Do any of their solo albums have songs with long jams on them?

I cant speak for them all... but im pretty sure that Harrison has some jam-ish songs. Electronic Sounds and The Concert for Bangladesh come to mind.. but im not even 100% sure about those two. I think the live one (TCfB) does have a 16 minute bit.. but I believe thats by Ravi Shankar.

I'd also bet that McCartney has something.. just knowing him. Probably on a Wings record.. though I honestly havent heard any of them.

Yeah I figured if anyone actually did, it'd be Harrison.

As stated at a much earlier point in this thread, easily the coolest Beatle.

Wasnt Harrison the one who came up with the sitar like playing of Within You, Without You? Damn, I love that song.

He's my favorite Beatle as well.. and of what post Beatles live stuff I DO have (which isnt much, something ill remedy with time) I like his the most.

Sitar like playing? Is he not playing a sitar on that song?

Yea.. duh. Im tired. Nix the 'like.' Ive been off just about everywhere today.. heh.

He played everything on that song.. that I didnt know. I want to hear the whole 30 minute version.. kinda want to check out Ravi Shankar now too.

EDIT: Damn, I feel like a dumbass. *sighs* There's our magic, lost jam.

Harrison did it as a thirty minute piece.. that would be a fun jam for sure.. and editted it down.

Time for sleep... after a few more Sgt. Pepper songs.

Wow I didn't know that either. That's pretty cool though, I also love that song quite a bit.

Mine too. He's written a few of my favorite Beatles songs, being Taxman, I Want To Tell You, and If I Needed Someone.

I think I'm gonna listen to the White Album for the first time in a long while as soon as I get home from school today :)

[QUOTE=LeperMessiah]Do any of their solo albums have songs with long jams on them?[/QUOTE]

Although it's not long at all, "The End" is kinda like a jam with solos by everyone, I think. I know for sure Harrison, Lennon, and McCartney all participate in the guitar solo part, but I'm not sure if Ringo does the drum "solo" (it could've been Paul).

[QUOTE=LeperMessiah]Piano in Helter Skelter? That's perposterous! That'd be awesome to hear that jam though. Do any of their solo albums have songs with long jams on them?[/QUOTE]

Yeah well it might work depending on what direction the jam went, but I guess I was looking for a place for Paul besides vocals.

I can't think of any really long jams they did. I think the members of the Beatles got use to writing short pop songs and that was really all they knew. Though there are some jam tracks at the end of All Things Must Pass that has people like Clatpon, Ginger Baker, and Billy Preston (I think) on it. I guess some of those go on long enough to be concidered long jams. They are defenetly good and worth picking up the album along for.

Another jam would be Sgt Pepper's off of Paul's live album "Trippin the Live Fantastic". Its kind of short but longer than any jam he has done in the studio that I know of. Its really good though.

Ringo plays the drum solo. But that song is far from a jam. It was all written.

Yeah I definitely have to pick up some Harrison solo material soon. Hopefully I'll see some for a decent price.

/bump

So I've decided to burn a CD of all the trippiest Beatles songs. I've also decided that it will be regarded as the greatest CD known to man.

You lie! Let's see the track list..

It's is being assembled as we speak...I can feel your anticipation growing.

[QUOTE=Spat Out Plath]I think it'll be a let down, just like recreational drugs :p[/QUOTE]

Hey...recreational drugs aren't a let down:p

Ok this is a little embarrassing, but I just remembered that I don't own the White Album on CD, only vinyl, and as a result I don't have any White Album songs on my computer. So could someone do me a BIG favour and recommend me some of the more trippy songs on the White Album, as it's been a while since I last listened to it, and I'm too lazy to put it on the record player at the moment...

Also there was some little known Beatles song that someone mentioned a while back in this thread, that they used the sitar on, but I don't remember the name of it...and I'm too lazy to look back...anyone remember what song it was?

Just DL the whole album, it's worth it.
