It could be considered a progression from “This Boy” with its similar chord structure and intricate harmonies by John and Paul, recorded – at their request – together on one microphone. Performed live on their world tour throughout the summer of 1964. Completed in 15 takes on February 27, 1964. Flip side of “And I Love Her” in the U.S. On U.S. album: A Hard Day’s Night - United Artists LP Something New - Capitol LP The Beatles - In My Life - Rubber Soul (Lennon-McCartney) Lead vocals: John with Paul Recorded October 18, 1965 and written primarily by John, who called it his “first real major piece of work.” Of all the Lennon-McCartney collaborations only two songs have really been disputed by John and Paul themselves -- “Eleanor Rigby” and “In My Life.” Both agree that the lyrics are 100% Lennon, but John says Paul helped on the musical bridge, while Paul recalls writing the entire melody on John’s Mellotron.

PLAYLIST JULY 29th, 2012 HOUR 1 George Harrison – Bangla Desh George wrote the song in “ten minutes,” for his friend, Ravi Shankar’s war-torn homeland. While in LA working on the soundtrack for the Raga film, Ravi informed George of the atrocities occurring in his native India. Leon Russell, who played keyboards on the session, contributed the idea for the “story” introduction to the song. The song included George, Eric Clapton, Ringo, Bobby Keys, Billy Preston and Leon Russell. Although the lineup is disputed by Jim Horn, who recalls that himself, George, Leon Russell, Klaus Voorman and Jim Keltner were present. voice break The Beatles - I Should Have Known Better - A Hard Day’s Night (Lennon-McCartney) Lead vocal: John Following their triumphant visit to America The Beatles were thrust back to work. On February 25, 1964 they dove into new songs slated for their film. On this day they recorded “You Can’t Do That” and began work on Paul’s “And I Love Her” and John’s “I Should Have Known Better.” In the film “I Should Have Known Better” was performed in the train compartment scene, which in reality was the interior of a van with crew members rocking the van to fake the train in motion. Used as the flip side of the U.S. “A Hard Day’s Night” single. Paul’s “Things We Said Today” was the UK b-side. Recorded Feb. 25-26, 1964. On U.S. album: A Hard Day’s Night - United Artists LP Hey Jude - Apple LP (1970) The Beatles - I’m Happy Just To Dance With You - A Hard Day’s Night (Lennon-McCartney) Lead vocal: George Written by John and Paul specifically to give George a song in the movie “A Hard Day’s Night.” Completed in four takes on March 1, 1964, with filming slated to begin the next day.

Shankar was born to a Bengali family in Varanasi, India, and spent his youth touring India and Europe with the dance group of his brother Uday Shankar. He gave up dancing in 1938 to study sitar playing under court musician Allauddin Khan. After finishing his studies in 1944, Shankar worked as a composer, creating the music for the Apu Trilogy by Satyajit Ray, and was music director of All India Radio, New Delhi, from 1949 to 1956. In 1956 he began to tour Europe and the Americas playing Indian classical music and increased its popularity there in the 1960s through teaching, performance, and his association with violinist Yehudi Menuhin and Beatles guitarist George Harrison. Shankar engaged Western music by writing compositions for sitar and orchestra, and toured the world in the 1970s and 1980s.

    Ravi and Anoushka Shankar, sitar Friday, September 19, 8 pm, 2003 Zellerbach Hall with Tanmoy Bose and Arup Chattopadhyay, tabla Tonight’s program will be announced from the stage. Ravi and Anoushka Shankar record for Angel/EMI. ICM Artists, Ltd., New York City Lee Lamont, chairman emeritus; David V. Foster, president and CEO This performance has been made possible, in part, by the Friends of Cal Performances. Cal Performances thanks the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation and the Zellerbach Family Foundation for their generous support. Cal Performances receives additional funding from the National Endowment for the Arts, a federal agency that supports the visual, literary, and performing arts to benefit all Americans, and the California Arts Council, a state agency. Ravi Shankar (sitar), the legendary virtuoso sitarist, composer, teacher, and writer, is renowned throughout the world for his pioneering work in bringing Indian music to the West. He has been a cultural influence in the West for more than three decades as India’s most recognized and esteemed musical ambassador. The youngest son in a Bengali family, he was born in 1920 in Varansi (Benares), the holiest of Indian cities. At the age of 10, he accompanied his elder brother with his company of dancers and musicians to Paris, where he attended school. He spent several years in the West absorbing different kinds of music, but returned to India in 1938 to begin his career. Shankar combined his concert performances with his work for All India Radio (1949–56), where he established the National Chamber Orchestra. As word of his virtuosity spread throughout India—and then Europe, Asia, and the United States—Shankar embarked on one of the most extraordinary careers in the history of contemporary music.
