    Madeline and Ken, Wonderful analysis of 'Mind Games' Box. I am also loving the Elements Mix, Raw Mix and Outtakes; 'Meat City’ with ‘LocoMotion' and 'Keep Your Hands Off My Baby,' ad libs. I agree with Madeline ‘Aisumasen [I’m Sorry)’ and 'Out The Blue' are special, two of John’s best-ever songs to Yoko. There are many revelations, rockabilly “Tight A$,' as Track Two, it reminds me of ‘Crippled Inside’ placement on Imagine LP. ‘One Day At The Time’ elements highlights lead and backing vocals; we also get non-falsetto vocal outtake (similar to Anthology). 'Bring on The Lucie’ with Jerry Rubin ‘Do It’ book reference, love when John sings in Dylan voice: “You think you’re cool, and know what you are doing”. ‘Intuition,' 'You Are Here' and 'I Know (I Know)' also revelations! Good luck with your book Madeline.

      Have you listened to the new box set? You can hear her commenting on some songs on making suggestions. According to Chip Madinger, co-author of "Lennonology," she was involved in the initial backing tracks for the recording sessions for Mind Games. John also used her musicians on her Feeling The Space album.

    I met Mike back in the late 80’s at the New England Beatles Convention in New Haven. We competed in a lip sync contest. I did a George song. We ended up hooking up with a Lennon lookalike and did a song together on the last day! Things went good!! Ended up hooking up a few months later and have a video about an hour long lip syncing to about 25 Beatles songs. Still have the video!! Wish we kept in touch.

    I really think all of Lennon’s solo pieces are underrated ? He was very insecure, people forget this, i see lots of negative comments these days, but even with the political stuff, he was giving you his heart at the moment of creation ? Mind Games is a beautiful album, but he is telling you of his remorse ? Guilt ? Love ? Vulnerability ? Who else did this as well ? Yoko sadly leaves many non plussed ! But it’s due to an ignorance of what conceptional art is ? Read criticism, its always the same ? Lennon would be negative because artists often are ? But he is probably just embarrassed by his raw emotions he put out there, he perhaps just cringed as we all do, but it doesn’t mean the work is worthless ? We all can look back at the moments that cause us pain and consequently want to forget that state of mind ? Sadly some fans just don’t forgive him for wanting to end the Beatles ? As people we evolve or just die inside ? Yoko pushed him intellectually, that’s why i feel he wanted them to be together, love also ! Sean needs to be commended for this awesome Mind Games project !

      I titally agree with you, Tim. I've said that all 4 Beatles are insecure! John bared his soul not just on the POB album, but most of his solo-stuff. I believe much of that is Yoko's influence. The majority of people who criticize John and Yoko don't fully know their music that well enough to judge, and John was his own worst critic. He was even very critical of the Beatles' music, many his own songs. The Beatles breakup was inevitable, but many fans will never fully accept it, sadly. And this depsire the fact that 4 of them had successful solo-careers. Indeed, Yoko did push him intellectually. He needed that stimulation, and the chance to grow artistically.

So perhaps there is a different reason (other than bagpipes) they didn’t release M of K in the US.

    cool discussion guys. Thanks! deep cuts are not only b sides although I was tempted to go with "the mess", "girls school" 'daytime nightime" & many others for my list.... I went album deep cuts... Macca 1 - Momma Miss America - showing off his instrumental skill, his guitar playing is ferocious imo Ram - Smile Away - I know the pattern I show, love heavy guitar playing... but...this song has heavy everything, bass, drums vocals and those guitars! Wild Life - Dear Friend - wait, a piano ballad? yea my younger ears did not like this song at all. my older ears love it! Red Rose Speedway - Night out - cheating here but this groove and cool guitar(s) make this song a "wonder why it wasn't on" the released 1973 album. BOTR - Bluebird - l adore this song. from harmonies to deft acoustic guitar picking. nothing on BOTR is a deep cut however this is close. Venus - Medicine Jar - Jimmy Macs singing & guitar playing are very heavy. ... metal was not part of Wings vocabulary however Jimmy Macs guitar/riffing was as close to heavy metal as we would hear in Wings. Speed - Beware my Love - you 3 talked about this one and it remains one of the very best "live wings songs" presented. the album track is heavy, played live it is even heavier. the version with John Bonham "Beware my Achilles Last stand love" is interesting. London Town - Cafe on the left bank - Jimmy Macs apparent guitar swan song in Wings, my 15-year-old ears at the time loved this track & morse moose (another deep one). it still rocks today! Back to the egg - Old Siam, sir - our English cohorts will disagree because it was a single over there but over here? another of the few "metal" songs associated with Wings. Paul's voice here must be heard in headphones at loudest volume for fullest effect imo! Macca 2 - on the way - memories of my first listen. after the effervescent "Coming up" had me dancing around the room & the annoying "Temporary Secretary Secretaire" (ugh) had me shaking my head and saying "WTF am I listening to?"...this song came on, I sat down, and I was transfixed. a slow burning Blues in summer 1980 after what we just heard? he never really did anything similar to this...his voice sounds distant and his guitar very heavy. my fav song so far on the album and all these years later...still my fav song on the album

With every artist's catalog, there will always be some that are analyzed more than others, especially if they are considered classics. If you follow my work on this channel, my radio show, and podcasts, you'll know that I try to cover all the Beatles' group and solo-works. Luca's latest book happens to be on Band On The Run, and he's a great author and guest to have on, so it was natural to do a show with him about that album.

      @@kenmichaelsradio748 Thank you for the reply Ken. I watch all of your podcasts and certainly enjoy them as they are so informative and interesting. Ken, I appreciate your vast Beatles/solo knowledge. As a first generation Beatles fan, the stories and news articles are always interesting. Luca’s always a fascinating guest on your podcasts and is very knowledgeable concerning Paul McCartney’s career and work. I have yet to read any of Luca’s books, which I have no doubt are tremendous reads. The Band On The Run story has been has been told and documented by so many people over the years, apart from Paul himself on several occasions. So no, can’t say I learned anything new. I will certainly buy Luca’s books in time!

    Band on the Run will always be my Macca summer album. I was 9 years old when it came out. I was already a huge Beatle fan and I couldn’t get enough of the album and felt Paul finally nailed it without question. The title track, Jet, Helen Wheels and 1985 were the best. Coming off of Live and Let Die helped a lot too. My favorite album is RAM and Back to the Egg is in my top five. I’ve always thought that BTTE as “son of RAM”.

    It’s always fun to hear what others appreciate and why. Daryl and I clearly share excellent taste as Arrow Through Me and On The Way are amongst my very favourite Macca songs - deep cuts or otherwise. Picking a top ten is so hard considering the breadth of the catalogue, but mine would have to include Kicked Around No More Some People Never Know Love in Song I’m Carrying Arrow Through Me On The Way Footprints Distractions Little Willow Flying To My Home Back on my Feet.

    Hi Ken,I dont agree that Paul has improved in later years as a lyric writer! This is the man who wrote Eleanor rogby and For No one in his early 20s.Cheers keep up the great work

    • @kenmichaelsradio748
      @kenmichaelsradio748 Місяць тому

      There are obvious examples of songs from his Beatles days that are among his best lyrically. I just find so much of his music from the 80's on up to be more personal and have deeper meanings. I think The End Of The End for example is one of Paul's greatest lyrics, and best songs ever.
