Winston Legthigh Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 Awesome! It'll be good to sift through the Hollywood Bowl concerts. What I really want, more than just the one recording of "Everybody's Trying to Be My Baby" off of Anthology 2, is to hear a Beatles concert mic'd from the audience to hear what that was like and contrast it with these recordings. There has to be something like this for the Hollywood Bowl concerts: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AKaA6zqAZLEFrom what I can remember, the original Hollywood bowl LP sounded just like how George Martin described - like a jet engine of screaming girls with the Beatles in the background.

I have it. That is what it sounds like. Worthy of one spin, and that's about it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

worldrecordplayer Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 I don't know if this circulated here, but here's the remastered version of A Hard Day's Night. Sounds great. http://www.npr.org/sections/allsongs/2016/08/25/491201322/all-songs-1-the-beatles-are-live-and-sounding-better-than-ever?utm_source=facebook.com&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=nprmusic&utm_term=music&utm_content=20160825 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

calvino Posted November 5, 2016 Share Posted November 5, 2016 I am casual fan at best - but I saw the below on my library shelf - the author goes from month to month, starting in Dec. '65. I am only up to March and thus far it's pretty good. It seems that LSD definitely opened up the Beatles' heads. I like the idea of just focusing on one year. Wouldn't mind a book on the '66 Stones.

Sir Stewart Posted November 5, 2016 Share Posted November 5, 2016 Sounds cool, nice. Interesting I don't think I've ever seen that cover pic (or recognize the session). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Analogman Posted November 5, 2016 Share Posted November 5, 2016 That might be a photograph form the photo session for the Beatles '65 album. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
calvino Posted November 5, 2016 Share Posted November 5, 2016 Bob Whitaker took the cover shot - so far I haven't came up with session or year. Looks like he shot them from 64-66. Actually it looks like it was taken from this session: Bob Whitaker: The Beatles at Sheriff Rd Studios, 1965 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
remphish1 Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 WOW! So I was looking at some Beatles setlist stats on setlist.fm It is amazing that only one song ever from Abbey Road was performed live by the Beatles (She's so Heavy), Only one from Sgt Peppers (When I'm Sixty Four) and only one from Magical Mystery Tour (all You Need is Love) ...Nothing was ever performed from Revolver or the White Album live!

I'm doubtful that the version of All You Need is Love (for the world broadcast) was "live." Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Wow I didn't know that one was around that long! http://www.setlist.fm/stats/albums/the-beatles-23d6a88b.htmlHmm. Seems spurious. Why are you "wowed" about never having played songs from those latter albums? You know they stopped touring in 1966, right? Basically, the only other live appearance they made was on the Apple Rooftop in 1969, and that was a short set consisting of several takes of Get Back and a couple other songs.

remphish1 Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 I know however Revolver was released in August 66 and they did several dates after the release. As for the others I figured maybe there was some promo shows etc even though they weren't touring. I am a casual Beatles fan at best but it fascinated me just how rare it was to hear some of those songs live. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Winston Legthigh Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 Ah. It's funny. I've never paid attention to their setlists - but on that last tour, they were locked into the same 10 song list: Rock N Roll MusicShe's a WomanIf I Needed SomeoneDay TripperBaby's in Black (the strangest song ever - The singer wants to get with this chick who is still in mourning, and he's ticked off about it - like, get over your dead boyfriend already.)I Feel FineYesterdayI Wanna Be Your ManNowhere ManPaperback WriterLong Tall Sally I'm guessing each show clocked in around 30 minutes. Such a strange set list - they opened and closed with covers. George got one song, Quote Link to post Share on other sites
remphish1 Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 Yeah its wild they would usually do two shows a day too. I think their longest setlist not counting when they performed on the roof top was 14 songs so what maybe 45 minutes! less than a normal openers these days. I also find it funny how now McCartney plays three hours! Ha ha yeah Baby's in Black is a doozy! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
calvino Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 That 66 book (above) is definitely a worth while book - the parts on the last tour were pretty detailed. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sir Stewart Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 The Cavern Club August 3, 1963 Acoustic too! Wow I didn't know that one was around that long! http://www.setlist.fm/stats/albums/the-beatles-23d6a88b.html Wow, it really does date back to there, in some form.https://www.beatlesbible.com/songs/when-im-sixty-four/ McCartney used to perform a variation of the song in their Cavern Club era, on piano, when the group's equipment used to stop working."When I'm Sixty-Four was something Paul wrote in the Cavern days. We just stuck a few more words on it like 'grandchildren on your knee' and 'Vera, Chuck and Dave'. It was just one of those ones that he'd had, that we've all got, really; half a song. And this was just one that was quite a hit with us. We used to do them when the amps broke down, just sing it on the piano." John Lennon, Anthology Quote Link to post Share on other sites

calvino Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 I would be interested in the below - but, of course, it's only part of the super deluxe. I am assuming at some point they will sell it as a stand alone. I am happy with the mono and stereo release of this record that they put out a bit ago, as part of the box sets. They should include the mono in one of these sets, too. I don't think they ever release it on cd, as a stand alone. I could be wrong about that, though. Discs 5 & 6 (Blu-ray and DVD):New 5.1 surround audio mixes of the album and “Penny Lane” by Giles Martin and Sam Okell, plus their 2015 5.1 surround mix of “Strawberry Fields Forever”.High resolution audio versions of the new stereo mixes of the album and “Penny Lane” and of the 2015 stereo mix of “Strawberry Fields Forever”.Video features: 4K restored original promotional films for “Strawberry Fields Forever,” “Penny Lane,” and “A Day In The Life;” plus The Making of Sgt. Pepper, a restored, previously unreleased documentary film broadcast in 1992, featuring insightful interviews with McCartney, Harrison, and Starr, and in-studio footage introduced by George Martin.

Analogman Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 It's 150 bucks, I think. I may get the 2 disc version. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
calvino Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 Yeah - the $150 is what stinks about only having the BluRay as part of the Super Deluxe -- which is typical with these sorts of deals/reissues. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Analogman Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 I question the claim that film is unreleased. I could swear I saw something like that on VH-1 around that time. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
