I think lets spend the night together by the stones might have been the first lol. Apparently when they were on the Ed Sullivan show, they were gonna perform that song, but Ed asked them to change it to "Lets spend some time together" because is was too suggestive. So they agreed to change it, but then sang it normally when they performed. :lol:

A similar thing happened with the Doors on that show.

Do tell...

EDIT: "Light My Fire" was the song they performed. A lyric in that song "Girl, we couldn't get much higher" was supposed to be taken out by the band (a request of Ed). But while they performed, Jim still sang it. They never performed on Ed Sullivan again.

Yeah, and he didn't shake hands with the band either, which he [I]always[/I] did. He was pissed, but it I were Morrison, I would have done it too

[QUOTE=MalcolmYoungRock]It has no tracks?? So you mean I can't burn it off my friend on iTunes? Shucks.[/QUOTE]
no you probably should be able to burn it.

No tracks as in only one track. None of the different sections listed in the let it be naked book have different tracks assigned to them, its just one track.

But its pretty cool, hearing a fragment of imagine being played.

I love the Christmas fan club records, they are pretty cute

might be wrong, but i thought it was said in the anthology dvd that that was a drug referrence. its tough to believe how uptight people used to be, ****.
...also, isnt it weird how two of the same word (that that) can be placed next to eachother in a sentence and still work. i'm gonna go eat some mushrooms

Every album? Including bootlegs?

As far as the references in 'A Day in the Life', Turn you on was a drug reference. In the mid sixties the phrase was; 'Tune in, Turn on, and Drop out.' Dr. Timothy Leary was making headlines with the new wonder drug, LSD at that time. The counter culture, or 'hippies' as they were known in the vernacular, recommended Tune in -- get involved with changing social morals, Turn on -- expand your mind (drugs) and Drop out -- leave the older generation's establishment.

Ed Sullivan, during the sixties, was the original 'power broker' of the entertainment business then. One appearance on his show was enough to guarantee a new act a successful career in show business then. The Beatles manager Brian Epstien was wise to coach the boys to do what ever the Sullivan people wanted. It led to repeat tv appearances that brought them into more and more homes through out the nation. The Stones too, played ball. Look at them today. The Doors, as much as I love their music, made the wrong choice. Morrison always took himself a little too seriously and though the band down spiraled due mainly to Morrison's alcoholism and drug dependancy, a lot of doors closed (no pun intended) in the mainstream after the run-in with Sullivan.

Back then Sullivan was the 'establishment' the bands eluded to in protest songs. Ironically, unless you played ball, your message was rarely heard. Things did loosen up by the late sixties.

One of the greatest hidden drug references ever performed was in the chorus as 'I Am the Walrus' is winding down. The chant, although really was something like 'Oom-pah,' sounded suspiciously like 'Smoke pot, smoke pot, everybody smokes pot' during the finale of all the sped up and slowed down overdub effects going on in the song. Made top-ten 40 on all the radio stations too. Right smack dab in the heart of the heartland of America ( the mid-west), to boot. Whoo-hooo. ;)

... If you really let your imagination go... you can hear it change to 'f--ed up, f---ed up, everybody's f---ed up.'

... but that's a judgement call....;) ;) :D

Gasp! A quadruple post!

I never thought it could happen.

At least it's not LOL LOL LOL over and over.

Ringo Star is my idol! he's pretty much my #1 with Neil Pert at #2, but still the beatles were the leaders of the music revolution into rock. It would be some sweet to do what they did.

A lot of Ringo's beats were just simple 4/4 beats.

But the genius thing about it is, it works.

I got listening to letit be the other day and in the version I had I noticed a short kind of whispering noise after "For though they may be parted..." Does anyone no what this says, if it says anything at all? Or has anyone else heard it?Or will i be comitted next week?

Ringo is great. My original drumming idol....his music is what I started on. Still one of my favs.

He fit the Beatles, there was a John Lennon quote posted about him that was funny.
