Analogman Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 I think that is right. I guess Paul's son James does solo shows. A Beatles blog I read had a write up about it. Dhani has a band I think. Zak is playing for The Who again. And Sean did that album with Les Claypool. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
uncool2pillow Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 It was supposed to be a James McCartney show in Des Moines. I think I was confused because that show was booked around the time rumors began about them all forming a band. https://joshgill.wordpress.com/2013/03/14/james-mccartney-to-preview-his-us-tour-in-london/ https://www.nbcnews.com/pop-culture/pop-culture-news/here-come-sons-will-beatles-kids-form-own-band-flna640243 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Albert Tatlock Posted November 1, 2022 Share Posted November 1, 2022 Loving this new old version. Something about that Beatles perfect imperfection of guitar/drums/vocals that makes it so listenable and alive. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=azvE5dh2f1A There's another 'first version' about now too that's also.

Albert Tatlock Posted November 2, 2023 Share Posted November 2, 2023 Like it. More for the lyrics after it was found on a cassette labelled ‘for Paul’ rahther than its inherent greatness, but glad that it is out there and better than I was expecting after hearing the original demo (if what was on the internet can be trusted). My real favourite part is the quintessential Beatleness of 1min 08 sec. You will know what I mean. P.S. And thank God no Jeff 'Chugga-crash' Lynne after those poor 90's efforts.

Analogman Posted November 10, 2023 Share Posted November 10, 2023 I have not heard it. I suppose I will at some point. I was not really a fan of the other songs they did back in the Anthology days. It seems wrong to me. About the same deal as when they (Bruce/Stones) go back and add stuff to old songs. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Albert Tatlock Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 So I decided that I had to see the Get Back docs at last overcoming my hatred of paying for streaming to. So a one month only then cancel subscription window has seen me binge them this weekend. Enjoyed them tremendously of course. Anyway, I logged on the sing the praises of something I also saw there - McCartney 3,2,1. 6 half hour films of Macca talking to Rick Rubin, often over his music at a mixing desk. Really one of the best McCartney interviews I have seen - with a lot of new insights rather than his usual stories. It’s hard to put into words the affection/connection I have with Beatles music - from my teenage years onward. It can really bring me to tears just thinking about it. I still can’t put a finger on it. Something about the rawness of the sound that I love even on what we’re supposed to think of as those perfect studio produced albums like Pepper. It will be a sad day in my house indeed when Macca passes. That will be the day the music dies. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Analogman Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 I bought the book that goes along with that documentary a while back. It was down to 20 bucks on Amazon. I have not really looked a it yet - but it appears to be a transcript of the whole thing plus photographs. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

In fact the reason I picked up a guitar was seeing them on TV and telling my dad "I'm gonna do that, look how much fun they're having". I'll need to watch those McCartney interviews... forgot they were on there! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I think my favourite moment is during Commonwealth when John starts and Macca nearly cracks up - about 50 secs in below https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M0kdX-1Mnqg .
