The Beatles

Went to see him in 2014. I'll never forget it.

 

Same. It was fucking incredible.

 

Winston Salem? What the fuck? Is Sir Paul secretly a Wake fan?

 

Fucking Knoxville??

 

the ACC Atlantic division championship bandwagon

but im pretty excited for it

 

First show of the new tour.

 

Amazing. Now do A Day in the Life or Two of Us.

 

and Say Say Say.

 

Fuck you, Mark David Chapman.

 

I laughed.

 

Paul turns 80 on Saturday

 

Resent the Liverpool FC logo. Paul grew up in a little neighborhood called Everton.

 

As the world creeps closer to it’s demise.

 

The Beatles must not have run the "love being all-powerful" stuff by anyone in Hamburg older than them during their stint in Deutschland.

 

The set barely lasted half an hour, too. Insane

 

Makes sense. I’d guess Most of their songs were 2 to 2.5 minutes.

 

Just watched Get Back a week ago, top stuff.

Paul basically coming up with The Long and Winding Road and Let It Be on the fly was incredible.

Ringo is the vibe master of the universe.

Paul looking over at the cops trying to shut them down only to immediately go into the next song was quite metal.

Mark David Chapman should have taken out Yoko instead.

 

The long and winding road part is my favorite segment of the entire doc

 

It's a great song that I think most people don't think of when they think of The Beatles

 

The piano part is pretty much flawless

 

The Beatles are easily the greatest band of all time and my favorite band, but I’ve never really liked that song. Not even sure why.

 

It’s the piano accompaniment that gets me. The naked version is much better, to me, because you can actually hear it instead of the orchestra/choir on the Phil Specter original release

 

We are same.

To me it is good for the first half then just sort of keeps going and going and by the time it's done I'm sick of it

 

Here is the audio release


the official music video release is tomorrow

 

here's the original demo so you can appreciate the technical wizardry that went into isolating John and the piano, etc.



All from a cassette tape sitting on top of his paino!

 

Sounded like "Imagine" era to me but apparently from later in the 70s. More info:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Now_and_Then_(Beatles_song)

 

There's a ~10 minute documentary about it on HBO Max that was pretty cool

 

So some guy covered Now and Then in a style matching the album A Hard Day’s Night. He played all the instruments and sang all the vocals with no sampling at all. He then ran the vocals through an AI software that manipulated his voice to sound like John, Paul, and George. Turned out pretty good. Though it is kind of wild he could do this.



A link to his unaltered version is in the video description of you care to hear it.

 

I accidentally played the official Now and Then release at 1.5 speed and...it's even better lol.

 

You inspired me to go play around. I swear .75 speed sound better than regular speed.

 

You mean slower? I thought the song was plodding enough as it was.

I guess .75 turns it into a proper ballad instead of the "not quite ballad, not quite pop" version they released.


To be clear, I don't hate the song, and in fact it has grown on me the more I listen to it, especially the chorus is when the song comes alive, but I prefer it with a faster tempo. 1.25 or 1.5 just feels right.

 

What else can he do? "I Wanna Hold Your Hand" in the style of Sgt. Pepper era.

These have the potential to be great if done right. But if not done right they’ll prove to be a terrible money grab.

 

Sorry Sam, it’s already been done:

 

Give me the Ringo doc rn

 

I’m fine if it’s a little shorter.

 

Interconnected sounds neat. So I guess he'll film them all as one giant movie and then edit them into four.
