💚💚💚💚
John wrote the middle 8 of HDN.. He even changed the words in a cab going to the studio to record it because a female friend in the cab with him said the words he had were cheesy.. John said Paul sang the middle 8 because it was too high for him..
Interesting show. The guest certainly knows his stuff. However, I disagree on his interpretation. The year 1972 marked the worst year of John’s career. Also, Mike Douglas noted in his autobiography that he liked John and couldn’t stand Yoko. I’d like to see a documentary or deep dive article on their Cavett appearance.
Why would you say 1972 was the worst year of his solo-career?
John did write the middle 8 to Michele. The middle 8 of "I Love You I Love You I Love "you was based on a Nina Simone song, gentlemen! This is mentioned in several sources! Of course, now it has become inconceivable for many to think that John may have had anything to do with the more commercial Beatles songs!
Michelle was concieved out of a decending accoustic guitar riff Paul had, John suggested to Paul to work on it to see if it had a song in it (probably because they needed songs for Rubber Soul badly). George Martin claimed he wrote the guitar solo, and suggested to slow the song down at the end.
Great show!
Great show guys. Always good to have Chip on. Can’t wait for the new Ringo Country Album. I will be attending the Ryman shows in January. A fun way to kick off 2025!
And you'll see me there at the Ryman!
@@kenmichaelsradio748Ken I will keep an eye out! It will be a fun way to kick off 2025!
I'm certain we won't see this on Blu Ray. I don't really believe there are any filmed outtakes, or a better quality version of One hand clapping. If ever there was a time to make that available and/or outtakes it would have been now, for this release. The backyard was a complete film, as it was made in 74/75. Sure there is a heap of audio, as there is for One hand clapping, but as for video, I really don't think it exists, nice to dream about tho.
Since my first listen of Walls & Bridges at the age of 15 has been my favorite John album and it's one of my top 5 favorite albums ever. I consider it the most emotionally vulnerable album of John's along with Imagine and Plastic Ono Band. The songs really run the gamut of emotions from angst on "Going down on love", joy in "Whatever gets you through the night, Fear in "Scared", Bliss in "#9 dream", Romantic love in "Bless you", Anger and resentment in "Steel and Glass", Lonl in "Nobody loves you when you're down and out". I thank you four gentlemen for the fabulous show.
Walls And Bridges Remix came out around 2004 with a different cover and some liberties were taken with some of the music especially on 'Surprise Surprise'.
W & B has some great songs - Bless You, Old Dirt Road and #9 Dream are favorites of mine. Looking forward to a box set someday.
What does the union jack flag have to do with the Beatles. Yes we know they were an english band and we all love them but yer union. jack flag is an insult to other countries.
John Lennon was a Mets fan not a Yankees fan according to chip madinger. His favorite met was pitcher Bob Apodaca who was a visitor during double fantasy sessions
Everyone should be wrong about something, just to show they’re human.
@@allankozinn192 Billy Martin despised yoko Ono and refused her request to visit the clubhouse sadly
Great episode guys! 1974 was definitely an exciting time for Beatle fans! Thank you!
Julian mentions Ya Ya the other day in a link to the release of Valotte Walls and Bridges is a classy Album. The Best of Lennon some snarling lyrics and subtle digs with beautiful melodies?
I do agree with some of what Neil did or said about The Beatles. The 2023 Red and Blue albums wouldn’t have happened, with all due respect that was not Apple’s finest moments. I also think that Neil wouldn’t have catered to Disney. In some ways and for the better part I prefer the original releases. I also think that the archival releases are too expensive. Also with the remixes in some cases are missing takes that I preferred in the original. So there’s good and bad. I also feel that with Neil he still held the sentiment that The Beatles had before they broke up was giving the fans a bang for their buck. I hope that it’s not because of health reasons. Ken, nice to see “Press to Play” on display! I have always felt that #9 Dream was so close to a true “could have been a real Beatles” song. I have come to like Walls and Bridges way more that I did when it came out as a whole.
🙌🏻
Even if Darren was confused by all the Plastic Ono Band variations, I hope he PLAYED LOUD!
Waking up in Pattaya/Thailand, always a pleasure with a new episode.
Great information, as always. Thank you, gentlemen.
Would the new CEO for Apple Core be Peter Jackson? He might as well as he does everything else. Cheers, Chris Perry.
There’s a thought!
MIDAS MAN IS ON AMAZON ON 10/30
Dear Boy is on Ram, not Dear Friend. Dear Friend is on Wild Life.
No real solo Paul here, it’s gotta be Paul with Wings or collaborating with others. No appreciation or respect for solo Paul! Unbelievable, more often about the other guys when it comes to Paul’s music. A wonderful discussion nonetheless & just an observation.
When it comes to Paul’s ‘One Hand Clapping’ they seem to focus on the negative peripheral issues as opposed to what is positive about his and the band’s music. No recommendation to see the movie, I don’t think. Sad episode, but they perk up when talking about John and George’s Mind Games and Living in the Material World, so that’s positive. Thanks.
We said lots of positive things about the performance - for one, that it should help restore or supplement Geoff Britton’s reputation as a solid rock drummer, which we all feel is overdue. We may differ on what’s peripheral. Visual quality, for example, is not generally regarded as peripheral in a discussion of a film.A lot of people who know this film from bootlegs and from the DVD in the Band on the Run archive box were curious whether the video had been improved. And since it was screened only on 9/26 and 9/29, with no prospect of a general release, it would have been pointless to recommend going to see it - although I did recommend the Yellow Cow bootleg DVD, which is the best presentation of it available.
@@allankozinn192 You all seemed so tired in this episode, or unimpressed or something, but thank you for your response. Paul gets dumps on in backhander ways and I am probably too sensitive to that. I’ve seen the movie and enjoyed it, despite its obvious flaws. Thank you.
I just recently discovered your AMAZING show! I'm LOVING it! 🙂
Thanks! Spread the word!
Paul is a subpar baseball fan. The yankees? Lennon was a mets fan and his favourite player was Craig swan. He loved the mets Paul is a Lorne michaels guy and goes not for the baseball but to hang out with billionaires. He doesn’t know anything about baseball history. He also was seen eating two hot dog some vegetarian?
"John said he really pushed for the Butcher Cover." Yeah, because John was a very reliable narrator, so it's obviously fact...
An hour about John mumbling "You've got a lucky face." Bizarre.
I'm guessing you meant Mrs Mills.
Mark Lewisohn is far from unbiased. Close scrutiny of Tune In reveals Lewisohn perpetually giving Lennon the benefit of the doubt but failing to do the same for McCartney. It might be subconscious, but the Lennon bias is in Lewisohn's interpretations of events, not in the facts he has unearthed. We would be correct, I believe, to call him a great researcher but a flawed and uncommitted writer. It's almost 2025 now, and still volume two is nowhere in sight. Ken and the gang are hoping that 2020, five years from when this episode was recorded, would see the release of the second book, but it's becoming increasingly clear that Lewisohn is addicted to research and shuffling pieces of paper, and has taken his eye way off the ball. I'd be surprised if we get volume two before 2030, and that by the time volume three sees the light of day many, many eager Beatles fans looking forward to it will be long gone, including, potentially, Lewisohn himself.
I'm mystified why any McCartney fan would be excited about 'One Hand Clapping' when they already bought it on DVD in 2010... or have they forgotten? Not a single comment in this show comparing the two officially released versions, bizarre...
Not so bizarre - in terms of content they’re identical. And in terms of quality, it’s hard to compare the version in the BOTR box, generally seen on TV or computer size screens, with what was seen in the theater, although we did note that Wingnut films evidently tried to improve it (without tremendous success so far as we could see).
The world really wasn't "hurtling towards disco" and therefore single-handedly ending careers, as Allan asserts here. This is often cited as being why certain acts faltered and declined between circa 1975 and 1980, but it's spurious. In the US and UK, the charts from those years were as diverse as ever. Disco was dominant, but New Wave, punk, pop, rock and a plethora of other styles rode high in the charts. Similarly, it's often equally erroneously claimed that punk (especially in the UK) made many older bands obsolete, but as the likes of Elton John, Roxy Music, ELO, Supertramp, Pink Floyd and a host of others showed, there was ample room for other types of material. If it was any good.
I haven’t read Aaron’s book. However I had the honor of talking to him and his lovely 😊 wife at breakfast 🍳 at the fest for Beatles fans. ❤
Linda and Denny were awful on harmonies here
Sorry but today's show was kind of a snoozer....see ya next time!
Got cancelled by Ringo going all the way to Philly from NY "Lets Go Mets" Hate seeing Paul @ Yankee games C'mon Beatles @ Shea....!
When I turned 28 in 2018 I saw Ringo and the All-Starrs as a birthday gift and it was the best concert of Ringo ever. Kit O'Toole was there so that made it better. I love Colin Hay. Overkill is a masterpiece and I didn't know "Who can It Be now" before the concert. I also never heard of pick up the pieces before the show it was fantastic. Gregg Rollie and Steve Lukather were amazing. One Hand Clapping was amazing. The cabaret portion was fab. I love Suicide and I am upset it wasn't on the released album. It was lovely to see Linda talk about her process.
I was there @ Flaming Pie night I won single CD versions of Young Boy & In The World tonight answering trivia Beautiful Night
The longer Steve was a contributor, sad to say that the more nonsense he spouted, and the more puerile he became. It was good going back to listen to these old episodes for a while, but Steve increasingly began to lower the tone of otherwise articulate debate. The way he's shouting utter drivel in this episode is a case in point.
I too wanted subtitles on the talking, I couldn’t understand most of it. (Or maybe don’t do it over music). I loved how involved Linda was, it made me happy to see her as a big part and not just being in the background to be told what to do. Highlight was the purity of Paul’s voice on Maybe I’m Amazed, but I noticed you could see Linda and Denny on backing vocals but could not hear them at all. Maybe they were not perfectly in key and were wiped off. Loved the relative surprise of seeing modern day Paul a few times too! (Watched people leave after the first credits rolled…uh oh…)
Buddy Guy is 88 & still promoting the Blues as the last Real Deal Living. He used to be somebody who you could access; not any more unless you're lucky! I gently patted him on the back as he was walking around the crowd Playing to SF for a Free Stern Grove Show August 6th,2023. He's still wailing away but it's not a jolting to the core - literally put you Out Of The Seat- type of thing. He's a lot tougher than the Beatless people are or were
It’s really not a good idea to touring 88. Ringo is not touring again he is too old😢
Ringo is older than bingo Crosby and Frank Sinatra were when they went to heaven at 74 and 82 years old
So you keep saying. Shut up.
With ringos illness seeing a world without Beatles is becoming a reality. I think Paul should heed this warning and scale back in his recordings and concerts
He won't. He's an adulation hound and simply can't/won't give it up.
@@richbailey8174 he can’t sing. He is out of step out of tune and harming his legacy. He is older than dick Nixon when he died at 81. Paul is a joke
The world in a few short years may have Pete best as the last surviving Beatles. That will be a sad day but I think the final Pete best lp ie ‘best of the best’ may be the greatest solo Beatles lp better than band in the run and plastic ono band Roag best the son of a fifth Beatle has an amazing voice.
Ringo at 84 is older than Bob Hope was in 1988. He is older than Ronald Reagan was when he got diagnosed with Alzheimer’s. Older than President Nixon when he died at 81. Ringo is quite a feeble old man who has serious health issues. He should not be touring. He is suffering from a variety of serious ailments. He needs to slow down. He has a 40 year old grandchild for Christ sakes. Beatle fans needs to let him be he doesn’t need to come back next year. He needs to rest and watch his beloved matlock reruns and rest. He was a sickly child and still has health issues
@@MalEvansUSA I think Ringo should do what makes him happy.
@@509cougs appearing on stage at 85 is really unseemly and with his ill health should be home resting and watching his beloved matlack reruns
@@509cougsThat Guy- seems like a stalker with nothing better to do with the time. Ignore it.
Feeble old man? Bet he could drop you.
Have you nothing better to do than spam this comments section with your boring, inane thoughts?
I missed my local showing of One Hand Clapping! I bought tickets a month ago, then forgot about it.
Oh no!
One hand clapping is so boring and out of date and done in such a horrid production quality. I don’t think you will miss anything
@@opticscolossalandepicvideo4879 kinda mirrors the reception the panel gave it.But i am going to see it today and make up my own mind. Thanks.
@@gailg2327 if you watched it once you will instantly forget it. It was 50 years ago and Geoff Briton wasn’t a very good drummer. Joe English was always first class
You can have a look at it if you have the Band on the Run archival set - it's on the DVD, although they did attempt to clean up the video a bit more for the theatrical showing (and, presumably, the eventual DVD-Blu-ray)
Around 9:00 The reason British acts were denied visas to play in America was because of the American musicians union, who started first with the Kinks, then broadened their scope. As a result, some rather forgettable (and long forgotten) US bands had their brief time in the spotlight, but American music generally was given more prominence in its homeland. Meanwhile, because of this embargo, British acts like the Kinks and Small Faces became very English, making concept albums about life in the UK, and singing with English accents. 1965 was indeed the most important year, because the fabric of that year - the hits - are what we came to know as rock, as opposed to rock-and-roll and pop. 1967 was revolutionary too, but it was a passing quirk in many respects. It spawned psychedelia on a larger scale, and led to prog rock, but far more bands would later embrace the core of rock music as heard in 1965 than the experimental and psychedelic sounds of 1967.
On a side note, Frank Sinatra was very much involved in setting up and running Reprise records. He filled its roster with acts he personally enjoyed and/or was friends with, promising them creative freedom and a chance to ‘reprise’ their greatest work. By 1964 however he was done playing businessman so all the later rock acts on the label were not his doing.
Overall, a very skeptical review! Sadly!
This was such an enjoyable interview, you 4 guys have a great rapport and all know so much about Dark Horse Records! I also loved the book!
