The Beatles


Cardboard Box City

Recommended Posts

loving these remasters, got all the stereo ones, looking forward to hearing the mono version of pepper though as that is meant to be the way to hear it the beatles have said. Don't worry i shall be buying one of the box sets when i have the cash. Most likely stereo as that contains the full studio album discography! Been watching my anthology dvds again, f**king amazing

Just watched the repeat of The Beatles on record on BBC4 just now as I missed it last night, Was good, Nothing i didn't already know but still worth a watch, Seems like they used alot of interviews from the Anthology series. It's also avaliable on the BBCi player I think for anyone who is interested!

My favourite programme was the Maysle brothers documentary on their first trip to the US. Just a bunch of regular, amazingly talented musicians, barely aware of what's going on around them, having a laugh...

and the appearances on the Ed Sullivan show... amazing (thankfully pretty much the complete performances). Seeing them playing This Boy, note perfect harmonies, minimal playing necessary, just a lovely song perfectly played. John's voice in the middle 8 ("that boy, won't be happy, 'til he's seen you cry I, I, I,") is spine tingling.

Just makes any claims that Oasis were like The Beatles more preposterous than ever... ;)

Watching that now on Sky +.

It's brilliant.

I've enjoyed all the programmes. But as far as I am concerned, The Beatles On Record should have been at least a couple of hours long.

Macca for Glasto 2010. One of the few remaining acts I want to see before I'm dead.

Yeah i agree i would have liked to have seen some new interviews aswell instead of taken it from the anthology, The documentary did feel a bit rushed!

I liked it. Seen it all already but the studio chat was great, hadnt heard some of it before. Every second of unheard Beatles stuff is gold to me. The pace of the documentary really nailed what they did, an unmatched 8 year assault on pop music.

    • Crikey.   I remember Muse cancelling a Lolla headline set in 2017 due to a massive thunderstorm after only 3 songs. Clearly this is an area of the world where the storms don't f**k around.
    • I still think they might take another shot at the normal weekend.    I'm also pretty sure this exact same speculation was happening after the last one.
    • Meanwhile in Chicago. Rained overnight at Lolla. Now they pushed back opening til the afternoon. But thunderstorms and lightning forecast. Maybe if the city invested in proper drainage they couldve tried to salvage the day.
    • Wasn't just me who thought it was either oversold or inadequately setup for the event then? For Pride, over the weekend, where there's also acts in the large blue marquee that was to the right of the "arena" (for want of a better term), it's probably much better as people are dispersed more. Thought the band were great, as was Nick, though he was clearly struggling with his voice at times.
    • I got in for £11.25 in the end, which was absolutely ridiculously good value, and made the queues and overselling of the venue much more tolerable! Sniping in on other people’s unwanted tickets on the day of an event might become my new hobby I think 🥳
