4th page? bump.

I've heard his Back in the USA live album and it was pretty good. He even did well at th superbowl, so I think his new tour will be a good one.

MBS 08-25-2005 12:20 PM

Yeah Back in the US is a really good album, I enjoy it a lot. You forgot to mention he was phenomenal during Live 8. Except when he sang just the last bit of Hey Jude for 7 minutes. He could have done the whole song.

MBS 08-25-2005 01:21 PM

[QUOTE=Med57]He was incredible at Live 8...his opening the show with U2 was so good, especially as they'd barely rehearsed it apparently, but the best song he did was easily [i]Helter Skelter[/i]. I'm a massive fan of that song, and just the way that it's so intense compared to some of the band's other work, but the way he did it live was amazing. His drummer was going completely mental as well.[/QUOTE]

His drummer was amazing in that song. Everytime they zoomed in on him, he had this face of just built of rage during the "When I get to the bottom I go back to the top of the slide..." and the finally when that ended he just went nuts on everything.

I didn't like the Long and Winding Road. I was really looking foward to it, but it was kind of a dissapointment.

What other songs did he play?

Seafroggys 08-25-2005 02:12 PM

I missed live 8. I wanted to see Who, PInk FLoyd, and Paul McCartney, especially the song Helter Skelter. He really needs to play that on his next tour!

Jacaranda 08-25-2005 02:16 PM

Live 8 :(

My story on that was I recorded it cause I was visting Grandma and right when the Who came on and I heard the opening of Won't Get Fooled Again, if I remember correctly, the tape stopped because it was full and didn't record Pink Floyd or the Who or Paul. I was pissed.

I was on vacation while it was on, so I missed it too. Fortunately, there is [url]www.aolmusic.com[/url] which I use to watch the performances whenever I want.

I Like.....
 
- I REALLY like the older Beatles more than the earlier Beatles. Like all the albums "Let It Be", "Sargent Pepper", "The White Album", "Magical Mystery Tour", "Abbey Road" and so on.

Relmar'd 08-25-2005 07:38 PM

Im looking for a concert the Beatles perfomed, though I cant take any pictures of mpegs. If any of you have Anthology, its on Disc 2... at 58:10, with George performing Roll Over Beethoven.

I can describe the set as very well lighted, it has a white floors and white rims around the audience. I have only found 2 performances, the Beethoven one and Cant Buy Me Love. I would love to know what concert/show and where I could buy the full one.

That doesn't make sense. Older means earlier. You mean the later Beatles. And I agree with you.

MBS 08-26-2005 12:44 AM

[QUOTE=Med57]We got [i]Get Back[/i], which was kind of cool, [i]Drive My Car[/i] which he dueted with George Michael (formerly of Wham! on), which was surprisingly good, [i]Helter Skelter[/i], [i]Long And Winding Road[/i] and a semi-version of [i]Hey Jude[/i]. I'd say [i]Long And Winding Road[/i] was the worst song out of those, although I never liked it as a song in itself to begin with. I doubt he would have played it (seriously, [i]Let It Be[/i] was made for a show like Live 8), but Geldof asked him to because it was meant to kick off the start of people heading up to Edinburgh.[/QUOTE]

Ah yes, thanks for refreshing my memory. Get Back was good. Drive My Car was excellent, Helter Skelter you already have my opinion on :p. I stand by my opinion that The Long and Winding Road was a dissapointment. I wished he could have played the whole Hey Jude instead of just the "Na-na-na-nananana's" because what he played at the Super Bowl was fantastic.

Yeah, that confused me too. But I'm sure most people agree in this thread. Later Beatles was just when they got way more creative.

BludgeonySteve 08-26-2005 12:46 AM

Yep. Although their earlier stuff was great too.

MBS 08-26-2005 01:09 AM

Totally, I think "All My Loving", "We Can Work It Out" are all great songs.

Jacaranda 08-26-2005 01:12 AM

[I]We Can Work It Out[/I] is a Pop music master piece I heard it for the first time in about a year about 3 weeks ago and it made me remember that post '65 wasn't their only time of good music.

It's a really fun song to play on guitar, too. :)

DeusExMachina 08-27-2005 09:50 AM

I love the Beatles early stuff.

Is it just me, or does McCartney's drummer seem really out of place?

Distant Echoes 08-27-2005 01:32 PM

I think he has a good drummer. Seemed a bit out of place the first time I seen him (Live 8), but I think he's worthy. Making playing look really intense though...good show.

My local radio station is doing Beatles A-Z this weekend. Their playing every beatles song every recoded in alphabetical order, they started on friday at 3:00 and finished saturday at 1:00 (w/ commercials). Their stating again saturday at 6:00, its really sweet.

Occasionally I would follow the songs they were doing on my mp3 player since it organizes it all alphabetically, and apperently Im missing one beatles album, but i dont know which one. Its defintaly early, but i cant find a decent discography without singles/vinyl/Greatest hits/random crap tied in to just regular studio albums. but Im doing better then i thought....

DeusExMachina 08-28-2005 08:39 AM

[QUOTE=Spat Out Plath]When I saw Macca, he introduced the band gradually. After he introduced the drummer, the drummer stood up and started yelling, "Are you ready to [i]raaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaackkkk[/i]?" Scary stuff.[/QUOTE]
That's what I mean. He's a good drummer and all, does a good Ringo impression, but he just seems out of place. He's the kind of drummer I'd expect to see in a heavy metal band, not in Paul McCartney's band.

robo2448 08-28-2005 10:38 AM

I watched A Hard Days Night last night :cool: It was awesome. I think I like Help more though. I then started reading The Beatles Anthology again, and got hooked on it. I loved reading about their time in Hamburg, when John would get drunk, go up on stage in his underwear and a toilet seat around his neck, and call the audience fu[B][I][/I][/B]cking Nazis :lol:

My favorite Beatles song right now is I Should Have Known Better. I need to buy A Hard Day's Night (the cd).

That was my favourite song after I watched A Hard Days Night too! :( I want to see Help I recorded A Hard Days Night off TV...and bought Yellow Submarine. But Help isnt at any video stores...and I really wanna see it.

Leper 08-29-2005 12:50 AM

I'm embarrassed to say that I haven't seen any of the Beatles movies.

Never show your face in this neck of the woods again! :angry:


But seriously...you should check them out. The songs are great, and you might find that some parts your actually laughing out loud at. And it's also just great to see them all.

Leper 08-29-2005 01:11 AM

I'd like to check them out, but I seriously never see them anywhere. I'd probably have more luck if one day I actually set out to find them.

Ulysses 08-29-2005 03:17 AM

I have been wanting to see one of the Beatles movies for a while now but to be honest I haven't really looked in any record shops or online.

GeorgeHarrison 08-29-2005 04:51 AM

Help is seriously my favorite movie of all time. It is completly retarted. The plot makes absolutly no sense. Let me just say it involves Ringo, an ancient tribal huma sacrafice ring, and an ancient island indian tribe. Oh yeah. theres singing too!

An another thing that makes this film so great is the fact the the guys were stoned through most of the production.

Ulysses 08-29-2005 05:04 AM

Yeah, I read about it in the Anthology which is why I'm so keen to see one, being stoned and making some off-the-wall movie and knowing that because of your fame that it will be viewed by millions of people must have been a great feeling.

DeusExMachina 08-29-2005 02:20 PM

I want to see MMT. I've heard mixed things, but I'd still like to see it.

MBS 08-29-2005 03:30 PM

'Sup George?

Re-upload your avatar, it's a bit fuzzy.

If you guys remember a few pages back talking about the album "Let It Be Sessions" and none of us thought it existed? Well, guess who has it?

:cool:

I'll YSI it later.

I've actually seen a couple on TV before. I haven't seen MMT though.

God did that suck.

Wow, is it 5 hours long? Looks possible...

Seafroggys 08-29-2005 08:14 PM

Yeah, Gimme Some Truth, one of the greatest songs of all time!

On the "Fly on the Wall" CD or whatever the bonus CD is that comes with Let it Be....Naked, there's a brief section where John plays the first bit of Imagine on the piano, but its still a very infant idea at that point in time.

Zip it into a single file with winzip or winrar. Then, send that file.

If you have Windows you can right-click on the file and choose send to>zipped file


PS-Alot of their solo work seems to have been developed in the last days of Beatle-dom. I wonder what Imagine/Teddy Boy/All Things Must Pass (all songs developed as Beatles)would sound like if they were done in the Beatle-era
