It’s not that George hated don’t let me down he just didn’t like the way paul was trying to arrange it. Also when George leaves the band his wife Pattie had just left him briefly (they make up) and his mom was super sick so he goes to see her in Liverpool. He was going through it. I’m so happy get back really makes people realize how amazing paul is
There's a joke I heard about Paul McCartney: if Paul trips and falls on a piano, by the time he gets up, he'll have written three # 1 bangers destined to become all-time classics.
I won tickets from a radio station contest to see The Beatles in 1964 in San Francisco. My mom entered me when I asked her to, I was 6 years old. The Beatles entered the arena just to the right of where I was sitting with my sister (they were very close seats!). I remember that as soon as they appeared the screaming started so I screamed…once…and realized it didn’t do a thing for me so I never screamed again haha. The next year I waited with my mom outside Candlestick Park when they did their very last concert (not counting the rooftop one). We were waiting for my 2 sisters who had tickets. We could hear the Beatles singing and the screaming fans. Since we were outside the concert we also got to see the Beatles running into their exit vehicle afterwards. About 5 years ago I decided to look up on TH-cam the 1964 concert and several sites had it…I was super surprised to see that my 6 year old memories exactly matched the films.
"Across The Universe" was written well over a year before by John and recorded in the sessions for the "Lady Madonna/The Inner Light" single in February of '68. It was dusted off the shelves for a Greenpeace album at the end of 1969 (littered with bird sound effects) and then Spector slowed it down to a dirge while adding a choir and strings on it for Let It Be.
People who say Ringo is overrated are people who have never even touched a drum kit or ignorant musically. Ringo is your favorite drummer's drummer. Period.
He's not adequate. He's not "good". He's the perfect rock drummer. He's rock solid, WILDLY creative, and always fits the song musically, every damn time. He doesn't provide a beat, he adds to the composition with his hooks.
Paul was able to write so many hits because he was always working. After Brian died he was the one calling the rest of them to get them in the studio, he would have lived in the studio had they let him. He wrote so many songs for other people as well it was ridiculous. It's the reason he made as much money as he did, if it wasn't up to his standards for The Beatles, he'd sell it and collect the royalties from it. He even wrote a few with another name just to make sure that it wasn't the name that was making money, but the talent...and those songs did just as well as the ones with his name on them. You also noticed a lot of the songs attributed to Lennon/McCartney...that was the arrangement they had because of how they wrote in the early years. If one of them brought a song in and it made it onto an album, it would be published by their joint copyright of Lennon-McCartney as they would very rarely come in with a finished song...you can see McCartney giving direction to Don't Let Me Down. If you want to get into the business of the Beatles, look into Northern Songs Publishing...it's interesting from a business perspective. And if you want to get into some more behind the scenes stuff...look at Allen Klein and how he screwed over all his clients.
During this time both John and Paul would write separately at home and bring the songs into the session. So they didn't necessarily write them on a specific day but they each would have presented the song to the rest of the band to learn and when you are The Beatles it's easy to learn your mates songs.
A couple of background nuggets for this ep. John was deep into his heroin addiction at the time so some of the early days he was out of it. He even mentions not being able to make it through a tv interview because he had to run out and vomit. During the days of the second ep, he goes clean for a bit and you can tell the difference. He's more engaged and acting like the leader of the band again. The week George left the band, his wife Patty found him in bed with another woman and she left him the day before he quit the band. He went to go get her back during the couple of days he was out of the band. The story is in her book.
If you want a good example of Paul's ability to create hits on demand, watch the story of the song "Come and Get It". The tldr... Paul is is helping a new band, goes home, writes a song, records a demo, hands them the tape and says "play it exactly like this", teaches them to sing the song, they do as they're told, they have their first billboard top 10 hit. If you look on you tube, they recorded the whole process of learning the song.
Not touring or performing live was a double edged sword and here's why: On one side, they revolutionized music because they wouldn't have to recreate anything they recorded from that point on. They could record backwards solos and make new sounds that they would never have to do on command again. They pushed the technology in the studio to the limits and did wonderful things. On the other side, their talent as live performers suffered and we'll see that later on when preparing for the concert. They hadn't had to play a song all the way through perfectly for a while because they could always fix it later. The White Album being the only exception as they wanted as much of it to be the same take as they could do. They had forgotten a little bit of how to play 'together' as they'd record parts separately. This is a fabulous documentary because it shows a band that has lost their edge try to get back to where they were when they were touring and realize they are different people now...different musicians and that a lot of things just don't work they did because of who they all became. By the time they get to the final live performance, they already know The Beatles are done. In the end, they do what they have to do and have a good time up there while putting on a good show...but they were done.
For anyone obsessed with The Beatles, I would recommend Mark Lewisohn's "Tune In", which goes through their early years in incredible detail. Also, I'm happy to see you back and reacting to this!
He’s done some ethically questionable things, especially regarding quotes. It has been proven that he combines out of context quotes together to push his preferred narrative. He is also biased towards John. I would recommend checking out the podcast Another Kind of Mind and their series on Tune In as it goes into detail on the questionable things he has done
McBeardy for me! The footage looks so contemporary that you feel like you’re watching them in real time so when it’s finished it’s kind of devastating to realise that 50 years have passed by and they’ve all either grown old or passed on
Someone who was in the crowd at the Ed Sullivan show isn't watching this video, but he did become one of the world's best drummers, Phil Collins, of Genesis.
Dude, Mal asked Paul if he had any more songs and Paul's just going through what he's got on the back burner. He's not making them up on the spot!🤣 As far as I can tell the only song he makes up during these sessions is Get Back, though there are a couple he may have written the night before or so. And of course, George says that HE wrote I Me Mine the night before after having been inspired by something he saw on television. But most of these songs are unfinished songs that they bring to the others to work out arrangements for.
I would love if you react to "How The Beatles Change The World". Explains how important they are to human history, and all that 60s thing. *Edit: it's a documentary
ATMP is not the best selling Beatles solo album. Everyone believes that it is because it is 7X platinum, but the RIAA counts ATMP twice for each sale because it is a double album. In other words, ATMP has sold 3,500,000 copies and is rated 7x platinum, whereas Band on the Run has sold 3,800,000 copies and is rated 3x platinum. When ATMP was released, it only sold 500,000 copies; most of the 3,000,000 sales came after George's death.
George was having Issue with his wife when he left the group...and "All thing must Pass" was rehearse but George didn't want to use it!...lot going on with george
18:50 Are you talking about the electrified version of Revolution because it IS in Spotify...it's on The Beatles 1967-1970. The acoustic version is Revolution1 on The Beatles (White Album). If that's what You're looking for, there you go and I agree that the rock one is better than the acoustic one. I like the acoustic one but it will never make my playlist. Keep doing what You're doing and keep this music alive for at least another generation.
50:25 With this comment I realise how young you are. Back in the days we ALL smoked all the time and put our cigarettes on the strings while playing. That's very normal.
dude, I’m sorry everybody’s picking on you. My pic isn’t that. It’s stopping too much. It’s the filter you’re using cuts right into the center of the picture and you can’t see any of the Beatles. Just their feet. I’ll check your second part and see if it’s the same. Good luck!
It began to manifest worse once the band was done as Ringo spent pretty much the next 2 decades getting shitfaced 24/7. Amazing that after cleaning up in 1989, he's been the model of health and is still with us today!
He was writing them at an insane pace, however. Plus, of course, later in the series you see him actually create "Get Back" on the fly, in front of everyone.
