LSUG July 29Th 2012 Next Sunday Special Guest Monkee Micky Dolenz! 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. The b-side of “I’ll Cry Instead” in U.S. On U.S. album: A Hard Day’s Night - United Artists LP Something New - Capitol LP The Beatles - She’s A Woman (Lennon-McCartney) Lead vocal: Paul Recorded in seven takes on October 8, 1964, take 6 is the released version. Written by Paul McCartney while waking around St. John’s Wood the morning of the recording session and finished at home before heading off to Abbey Road studios. Issued in the U.S. on November 23, 1964, and in U.K. four days later. Not included on the “Beatles For Sale” LP, which was released on December 4, 1964 in the UK. The B-side of “I Feel Fine.” On U.S. albums: Beatles ‘65 - Capitol LP UK: Non-album single (B-side) The Beatles - Hey Bulldog - Yellow Submarine Recorded 11th February 1968 John said, ”it’s a good sounding record that means nothing”. Newly remixed for the Yellow Submarine Soundtrack expanded version. Lead vocal Lennon Lennon. .95 .05 The Beatles - Drive My Car - Rubber Soul (Lennon-McCartney) Lead vocals: Paul and John The lead off track to Rubber Soul on the UK version was recorded on October 13, 1965. This session was the first in Beatles recording history to go past midnight. The music was written by Paul but he needed help with the lyrics. He and John worked through the song and came up with “baby you can drive my car” in place of temporary lyrics Paul was using (“you can give me golden rings”). “Drive my car” is an old blues expression for sex. The basic track was completed in four takes. Thanks to overdubbing, McCartney plays bass, piano and slide guitar (his Epiphone Casino). Paul provides the guitar solo in the song’s introduction, middle and ending. On U.S. album: Yesterday and Today - Capitol LP The Beatles - Matchbox (Perkins) – Long Tall Sally EP / Something New/ Past Masters * flip of Slow Down in US Capitol 5255 (US) August 24, 1964 Recorded: 1st June 1964 "Matchbox" is sung by Ringo, and was recorded on 1st June. It's writer Carl Perkins was present at the sessions, although he did not participate. Carl had originally released "Matchbox" on the legendary Sun label on 11th February 1957, but failed to chart anywhere The Beatles - Everybody’s Got Something To Hide Except Me And My Monkey - The Beatles (Lennon-McCartney) Lead vocal: John The Beatles had taken to recording rehearsals of songs and numbering them as takes. And if nothing recorded for a particular song seemed usable they’d erase the tape and start again on another day. The first playing of this then-untitled John Lennon rocker was a series of rehearsal run-throughs on June 26, 1968, all of which were erased and the band started fresh the next day. On June 27, six proper takes were recorded with John on Epiphone Casino electric guitar, George on Gibson SG, Paul on percussion (alternating between cowbells and chocalho), and Ringo on drums. Overdubs added on July 1 included Paul’s bass guitar and John’s lead vocal. Still unhappy with his lead vocal, John re-recorded it on July 23. Backing vocals and handclaps were also added to the mix on July 23 and the song was declared finished. In his 1980 Playboy interview, John described the song as “a nice line that I made into a song. It was about me and Yoko. Everybody seemed to be paranoid except us two, who were in the glow of love.” George Harrison has said that the opening line, “Come on is such a joy,” was a favorite saying of Maharishi Mahesh Yogi. “Everybody’s Got Something To Hide Except Me And My Monkey” is the longest title of any Beatles song. Music written and performed by men in there 20’s. voice break The Beatles - Roll Over Beethoven – With The Beatles (Berry) Lead vocal: George Chuck Berry’s rock and roll standard was released as a single in May 1956 on Chess Records. It peaking at #29. A staple of The Beatles’ live show from the earliest days, Beatles fans will be surprised to learn that John Lennon was the lead singer of the song in those very early club days. In 1961 George Harrison took over lead vocals. “Roll Over Beethoven” was the opening song at The Beatles’ first concert in America, February 11, 1964 in Washington D.C., and opens Capitol’s “The Beatles’ Second Album,” released on April 10, 1964. On U.S. album: The Beatles’ Second Album - Capitol LP John Lennon – New York City – Some Time In New York City ‘72 Ringo – Memphis In Yer Mind – Ringo Rama • George was the first Beatles to visit America. He visited his sister, Louise, in Benton Illinois in September of 1963…. George Harrison – Going Down To Golders Green – ATMP George - It Don’t Come Easy – Demo Tom Petty & Heartbreakers – I Need You – Concert For George voice break George Harrison – Taxman - Live In Japan ‘92 Recorded in Tokyo – December 15th 1991. John Lennon/Elton John – I Saw Her Standing There This was John’s choice. He had rejected Elton’s suggestion that he close the set with “Imagine,” and rather wanted to have fun singing an old tune that he had never owned on the lead. This was dedicated to his “old estranged fiancée named, Paul.” Paul – You Won’t See Me – Live Russia Ringo – Octopus Garden – VH1 0.35 voice break HOUR II The Beatles - Magical Mystery Tour - Magical Mystery Tour (EP) (Lennon-McCartney) Lead vocals: Paul and John When Paul McCartney was in the U.S. in early April 1967 he came up with the idea for a Beatles television film about a mystery tour on a bus. During the April 11 flight back home he began writing lyrics for the title song and sketching out some ideas for the film. Upon his arrival in London, Paul pitched his idea to Brian Epstein who happily approved. Paul then met with John to go over the details and the two began work on the film’s title track. The title track was written primarily by Paul but was not finished when McCartney brought the song in to be recorded on April 25, 1967. John helped with the missing pieces during the session. On U.S. album: Magical Mystery Tour - Capitol LP The Beatles - I Am The Walrus - Magical Mystery Tour (EP) (Lennon-McCartney) Lead vocal: John The Beatles’ sixteenth single release for EMI’s Parlophone label. John Lennon pushed to have his “I Am The Walrus” as the A-side of the coupling with Paul’s “Hello, Goodbye,” but his song was deemed too unconventional and less commercial than Paul’s catchy tune. The title is inspired by the Walrus and the Carpenter from Lewis Carroll’s “Through The Looking Glass.” Lennon described his lyrics as purposely being Dylan-esque. In his 1980 Playboy interview he explained, “In those days I was writing obscurely, a la Dylan, never saying what you mean, but giving the impression of something.” The “I Am The Walrus” session is notable because it was the first Beatles recording session following the untimely death of their manager, Brian Epstein. Ironically, Epstein had stopped by the last time the Beatles were recording (for “Your Mother Should Know” at Chappell Recording Studios on August 23, 1967). He was found dead on August 27, aged just 32. All four Beatles met at Paul’s St. John’s Wood house on September 1 to discuss how they should proceed. Among other business matters, it was decided that they would press on with the “Magical Mystery Tour” project, temporarily postponing a planned visit to India to study Transcendental Meditation.

  • BWTB Nov. 13Th Dukes 2016
    1 Playlist Nov. 13th 2016 LIVE! From DUKES in Malibu 9AM / OPEN Three hours non stop uninterrupted Music from JPG&R…as we broadcast LIVE from DUKES in Malibu…. John Lennon – Steel and Glass - Walls And Bridges ‘74 Much like “How Do You Sleep” three years earlier, this is another blistering Lennon track that sets its sights on Allen Klein (who had contributed lyrics to “How Do You Sleep” those few years before). The Beatles - Revolution 1 - The Beatles 2 The first song recorded during the sessions for the “White Album.” At the time of its recording, this slower version was the only version of John Lennon’s “Revolution,” and it carried that titled without a “1” or a “9” in the title. Recording began on May 30, 1968, and 18 takes were recorded. On the final take, the first with a lead vocal, the song continued past the 4 1/2 minute mark and went onto an extended jam. It would end at 10:17 with John shouting to the others and to the control room “OK, I’ve had enough!” The final six minutes were pure chaos with discordant instrumental jamming, plenty of feedback, percussive clicks (which are heard in the song’s introduction as well), and John repeatedly screaming “alright” and moaning along with his girlfriend, Yoko Ono. Ono also spoke random streams of consciousness on the track such as “if you become naked.” This bizarre six-minute section was clipped off the version of what would become “Revolution 1” to form the basis of “Revolution 9.” Yoko’s “naked” line appears in the released version of “Revolution 9” at 7:53.

  • Bright Tunes Music V. Harrisongs Music
    420 F.Supp. 177 United States District Court, S. D. New York. BRIGHT TUNES MUSIC CORP., Plaintiff, v. HARRISONGS MUSIC, LTD., et al., Defendants. No. 7 1 Civ. 602. | Aug. 31, 1976. | As Amended Sept. 1, 1976. OPINION AND ORDER OWEN, District Judge. This is an action in which it is claimed that a successful song, My Sweet Lord, listing George Harrison as the composer, is plagiarized from an earlier successful song, He’s So Fine, composed by Ronald Mack, recorded by a singing group called the “Chiffons,” the copyright of which is owned by plaintiff, Bright Tunes Music Corp. He’s So Fine, recorded in 1962, is a catchy tune consisting essentially of four repetitions of a very short basic musical phrase, “sol-mi-re,” (hereinafter motif A),1 altered as necessary to fit the words, followed by four repetitions of another short basic musical phrase, “sol-la-do-la-do,” (hereinafter motif B).2 While neither motif is novel, the four repetitions of A, followed by four repetitions of B, is a highly unique pattern.3 In addition, in the second use of the motif B series, there is a grace note inserted making the phrase go “sol-la-do-la-re-do.”4 My Sweet Lord, recorded first in 1970, also uses the same motif A (modified to suit the words) four times, followed by motif B, repeated three times, not four. In place of He’s So Fine’s fourth repetition of motif B, My Sweet Lord has a transitional passage of musical attractiveness of the same approximate length, with the identical grace note in the identical second repetition.5 The harmonies of both songs are identical.6 *179 George Harrison, a former member of The Beatles, was aware of He’s So Fine.

  • Billy Preston
    Billy Preston Billy Preston was a soul singer and pianist who, in addition to having a successful solo career, collaborated with some of the greatest names in the music industry, including the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, Little Richard, Ray Charles, George Harrison, Eric Clapton, Bob Dylan, Sam Cooke, Sammy Davis Jr., Sly Stone, Aretha Franklin, the Jackson 5, Quincy Jones, and the Red Hot Chili Peppers. Often called “the Fifth Beatle,” this former child prodigy left one of the most profound and prolific legacies in music. William Everett Preston was born in Houston, Texas in 1946. He began playing piano at age three, and by ten he had joined the band of gospel great Mahalia Jackson. At age twelve he appeared in the 1958 film St. Louis Blues, portraying blues composer W.C. Handy as a young man. In the 1960s Preston performed with Little Richard and Ray Charles, and became a regular singer and pianist on the ABC television series Shindig. Preston went on to a successful career as a session musician, including lending his talents to the Beatle’s Let It Be album. That collaboration led to his signing to the Beatles’ Apple label, and in 1969 his solo effort, produced by George Harrison, was released. The album That's the Way God Planned It and the single of the same name met with limited success, but in 1972 he released an instrumental funk single, "Outa-Space," that reached #2 in the U.S. and won the Grammy award for Best Pop Instrumental Performance. Over the next two years, Preston enjoyed more number one hits including "Will It Go Round In Circles" and "Nothing From Nothing." He was the first guest musical artist on the premier episode of the popular TV show Saturday Night Live.

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.

A similar eclecticism and scope also surfaced in his solo work, which couched his charmingly gravelly voice in a rustic yet rich swamp pop fusion of country, blues, and gospel. Born Claude Russell Bridges on April 2, 1942, in Lawton, Oklahoma, he began studying classical piano at age three, a decade later adopting the trumpet and forming his first band. At 14, Russell lied about his age to land a gig at a Tulsa nightclub, playing behind Ronnie Hawkins & the Hawks before touring in support of Jerry Lee Lewis. Two years later, he settled in Los Angeles, studying guitar under the legendary James Burton and appearing on sessions with Dorsey Burnette and Glen Campbell. As a member of Spector’s renowned studio group, Russell played on many of the finest pop singles of the ’60s, also arranging classics like Ike & Tina Turner’s monumental “River Deep, Mountain High”; other hits bearing his input include the Byrds’ “Mr. Tambourine Man,” Gary Lewis & the Playboys’ “This Diamond Ring,” and Herb Alpert’s “A Taste of Honey.” In 1967, Russell built his own recording studio, teaming with guitarist Marc Benno to record the acclaimed Look Inside the Asylum Choir LP.

There were just six of them - 'Yellow Submarine', 'Only A Northern Song', 'All Together Now', 'Hey Bulldog', 'It's All Too Much' and 'All You Need Is Love' - and only four of them were new. Side two was devoted entirely to George Martin's musical score for the movie. Thirty years later it was decided to restore the film, digitalising the soundtrack in the process, and the songtrack album is a result of that remastering. Released in 1999, it was the first collection of Beatles songs to get a digital remix, but more significantly it dispensed with the film score that had appeared on side two and included instead most of the other songs featured in the film that hadn't appeared on the earlier LP.

  • Ringo Starr Actuarà Per Primera Vegada En Solitari a Barcelona Aquest Dimarts El Bateria De the Beatles Ho Farà En El Marc Del Guitar BCN 2018
    Cultura i Mitjans | Jordi Novell | Actualitzat el 25/06/2018 a les 12:12 Ringo Starr actuarà per primera vegada en solitari a Barcelona aquest dimarts El bateria de The Beatles ho farà en el marc del Guitar BCN 2018 Ringo Starr | Arxiu Ringo Starr El Liverpool de postguerra no devia ser el millor dels mons per a un nen malaltís com Richard 'Ritchie' Starkey. Malalt d'apendicitis i peritonitis, i fins i tot en coma durant dies, als tretze anys Starkey emmalaltia de tuberculosi. Ingressat durant prop d'un any en un hospital, per esperonar la seva capacitat motriu els metges li van improvisar un mall fet amb una bobina de cotó per colpejar els armaris del costat del seu llit. I d'aquí, a la banda de l'hospital? Amb una mica d'ajuda dels amics Possiblement una de les grans habilitats de Richard Starkey és ser al lloc adequat en el moment precís. Només així es pot entendre com una banda de skiffle de Liverpool que malviu a Hamburg tocant rock acceleradíssim en tuguris de mala mort amb un èxit notable decideix substituir el seu bateria titular. John Lennon, Paul McCartney i George Harrison prescideixen del monolític estil de Pete Best -un del centenar de persones denominades 'el cinquè beatle'- per sondejar el bateria de Rory Storm and the Hurricanes. Richard Starkey ja era conegut com Ringo Starr - pels enormes anells que lluïa als dits-, i havia de sentir els crits de "Pete forever! Ringo never!" i algun cop de puny que va forçar que Brian Epstein -denominat el cinqu? au va!- hagués de llogar un guardaespatlles.
