All Things Must Beat. Share Anything Beatles!!

[TomB]

According to Wikipedia, that is the original Beatles foursome of John, Paul, George & Pete, during the sessions for the single(s) & EP(s) of "Tony Sheridan and the Beat Brothers", which was later repackaged and released as "THE BEATLES with Tony Sheridan", even though Tony sings all the lead parts. Ah, how things can change. Well, it's mostly covers of older songs anyway, so ... That was my first big disappointment in following The Beatles. But, maybe my copy is now worth something?

If it’s Paul on bass, it foreshadows melodic ideas that mostly wouldn’t surface until much further into the Beatles’ catalogue. ...very cool.

Several of George's other cars were really something else!

George Harrison and Paul McCartney in the studio for "The White Album" sessions in 1968.

While Lennon and McCartney are quite well kniwn for their keyboard work, George Harrison is much less frequently recognized that way. But, he did some stellar key tickling on "Blue Jay Way", "Only a Northern Song" and "It's All Too Much", and probably some others I can't recall just now. He also wrote "Old Brown Shoe" on piano, but isn't credited playing it on the released recording.

Anyone recall any other George songs where he played keyboard?

On April 24, 1976, Saturday Night Live Executive Producer Lorne Michaels did a live piece offering The Beatles $3,000.00 to reunite on the show. The piece was mocking the full-page ads taken out in the New York Times offering the Beatles millions of dollars to reunite and play in Shea Stadium.
As it turns out, Paul and Linda McCartney were with John Lennon and Yoko Ono at Lennon's home in the Dakota Building in New York City watching the show.

Lennon and McCartney thought about taking a cab to the studio, but decided they were too tired.

It was the last time John Lennon and Paul McCartney ever saw each other, face to face.

He told them they could split it up however they wanted--they could give Ringo less.

Don’t forget all the MOOG synth work on Abbey Road. Here Comes The Sun is a prime example. Maxwell had Paul playing it. Because. They fit it in everywhere.

George dabbled in electronic music. He loved turning knobs going back to the early days so he was well suited to the modular MOOG.

BTW, George also played sax. I Got My Mind Set On You is one.

Of course, the MOOG! Even some people who didn't play keys could get sound out of a MOOG!

But, where did you find George played sax on "I Got My Mind Set On You"? Everything I see says Jim Horn did that one.

That’s my understanding as well. It was recorded at his home studio in Frier Park. Jeff Lynne produced and played. It’s my understanding that Jim Horn played on several of George’s albums including The Concert for Bangladesh and the Travelling Wilburys. I always liked Jim’s flute on Going Up The Country.

I recall a rough demo of the song that George recorded with sax on it.

Ah, yes, yes. The ever present demos that seem to have replaced bootlegs in this century.

The cover picture for Beatles VI on Capitol Records is a cropped photo from this one of them cutting some kind of cake.

Although it *does* look like it, by today's standards, I doubt that John really took that shot himself.
