I have had it up to here waiting for the Beatles catalogue to be remastered

woah never heard of that. wild.

They moved only twice in 45 minutes, hunkering further down. This was a strong challenge to the audience.

this is beautiful

I do not think this was a good idea at all.

WT…?

Surprisingly not as bad as “Free As A Bird”

Surprisingly not as bad as “Free As A Bird”

Sorry for the double post, have no idea why my phone did that

Not as good as "Real Love."

Don't be alarmed, they'll both be holograms soon.

the 1960s were actually over 400 "real-time" years ago. this will become later on

400 years…and it’s your bloody Yellow Submarine all over again

xxp two down, two to go

Let me know when he starts doing "The Girl Is Mine".

Let me know when he starts doing "The Girl Is Mine".

Don't be alarmed, they'll *both* be holograms soon.

Don’t see the harm in this one, frankly. They’re just playing along to IMAX footage, it doesn’t strike me as tacky as a hologram.

yeah this doesn't bother me, aside from how rough mccartney is sounding on the first show of this tour. Seeing him next week, will report back.

Better he should've invited Yoko along on tour to sit on his amp throughout

that would be something

Meet ya in the falling rain, momma?

I finished this last week and thoroughly enjoyed myself. I thought I'd reached 'the end' of the Beatles but this dragged me into a whole other layer of immersion - much in the same way this thread has. A great read and damn you lot know a lot about the Beatles.

There was a discussion about a Sylvia Townsend Warner novel on the books thread. It's a novel set in the 14th century and sort of meanders through the lives of a bunch of nuns in a monastery. Someone described the experience of reading as 'needing to check in with the nuns' and that's what Get Back became for me - like there was a separate reality running alongside my own and I could access it through this portal whenever I wanted or needed to. The banality became part of the point but, equally, sections of it were incredibly moving. And goddamn, pipe the euphoria of the rooftop gig straight into my veins.

Dude is 80 and his mate died 42 years ago and, like us, he probably spent all of Xmas watching Get Back, so I'm absolutely fine with this. You think he doesn't realise these are his sunset years, that this is his farewell jaunt? Let him do what he wants. Frog Chorus the fuck out of this shit. He's Paul McCartney, he was a Beatle, let him reside within his excellence.

Insane to think this guy has been gigging for 65+ years.

He gets away with it because he can legit look at the footage and say ‘Heh, that was all my idea’.

Saw this happen live last week and it was great, really. Very well synched up, Paul stood with his back to the audience for most of that Lennon clip watching it, and it was only for the second half of the one song. I'm a pretty big Macca defender, I'll say again: he wouldn't be doing this stuff if it wasn't giving him some kind of spiritual lift and adding joy to his life. He doesn't need to tour, he doesn't need any money, he very clearly thoroughly loves what he's doing.

Very true. Though that would be crazy af if he needed to tour. Like he blew all his money on the finest, rarest marijuana or something.

Picturing ne'er-do-well Paul hitting up Stella to float him on a loan--"Ringo said he'll 'ave me knees broken!"

There's a video of Dana Carvey's stand-up somewhere (pre-SNL) where he does a hilarious McCartney impression:

"Linda, I lost me wallet! It had a million dollars in it...I'd hate to back to the bank to get another million."

Processed Star-Club tapes?

“I’m talking to The Beatles about another project, something very very different than ‘Get Back.’ We’re seeing what the possibilities are, but it’s another project with them. It’s not really a documentary…and that’s all I can really say” https://t.co/xMNNjei2gR

"i'm talking to the beatles." i love that, no matter what it might mean.

better be Yellow Submarine 2

I really he hope he isn't reviving Robert Zemeckis's puke-tastic idea for a stop-motion animated Yellow Submarine.

Probably gonna use AI to make Up Against It.

of _course_ todd rundgren did the music for the musical theatre adaptation. that's so todd.

"She accepts the proposal of marriage — to all three heroes. Ian, Jack, and Christopher wed Miss Drumgoole in a mass officiated by Father Brodie and attended by the whole happy cast, and the screenplay ends with bride and grooms in polygamous morning-after intimacy, disappearing with squeals of delight under the conjugal sheets."

god dammit i hate it when wikipedia editors can't tell the difference between polygamy and polyamory, you have _no idea_ how many wikipedia editors mistakenly believe i'm their wife

the Todd thing is so bizarre. he actually released a CD of it where he sings all the parts. its not great exactly but I was pretty damn entertained

i have the star club double album and the energy is insane, but yes i wonder if peter jackson could pull off for audio what he pulled off for film in terms of an AI cleanup cause it’s preeeeeetty scuzzy

it's not a documentary but would it not be a film? do they have the power to recreate visuals from scuzzy audiotape?!!? i'm thinking more like a concert movie. from real concert footage. but didn't they already do that with shea?

i didn’t know there was footage of the star club but in any case without good audio it doesn’t work afaict

I think I remember some super grainy footage on The Compleat Beatles doc… the Star Club album is indeed nuts as hell. “Hippy hippy shake”

There’s film of them doing “Some Other Guy” at the Cavern (used in Compleat and Anthology), but no Hamburg footage has yet surfaced, if it ever existed.

y'all are missing the obvious: Jackson plans to finally relaized the planned Beatles Lord of the Rings project, using Computer Technology to insert their faces and voices into all six of his Tolkien films.

it's obvious he's going to reanimate the Cavern-era Beatles into live holograms and have them tour the country, thus putting all their tribute bands out of work.

could also be a reboot of the Sgt. Pepper movie featuring current pop stars

harry styles, burna boy, ed sheeran, and charlie puth _are_ THE BEATLES

“I can’t say much about it but we’re taking about a shoot later this year in Libya, by the the sea with lots of candles, and 2000 arabs with torches… it’ll be beautiful…”

i'm psyched for a sequel to danny boyle's "yesterday." it will be called "tomorrow (never nose)" and will star ringo as the only person alive who remembers the beatles, and paul as ed sheeran.

could it be paul and ringo and two other people? clapton? Jeff Lynne? roy wood? marshall crenshaw? nils lofgrin? andy fairweather lowe? todddd?

Whatever Jackson's got cooking, it won't top this. https://www.theonion.com/ringo-starr-announces-26th-beatles-album-with-new-backi-1819579915

So they'll all be played by Andy Serkis then

Gotcha
