I have no idea if this is the right place to post this or if this has been posted before, but I thought this was pretty funny. It's from the Get Back sessions.
I love John's comment. "Don't interupt. We're bloody stars you know!" Heh. And who's Paul calling a f*ck face?! I love them.
Sorry if this has been posted before. I don't mean to be redundant.

"A demon idol-- so unleash my arm."
This is BRILLIANT! I would never in a hundred years have come up with some of these phrases. And neither would you- if you listen to the thing without the words "deciphered" for you. (As I did for part of this as I wrote this reply). I especially like the hard cuts in the middle of a phrase. So very natural... ;)
Truly, the Beatles were subtle and devious deceivers. *gives them all some marzipan, as that appears to be all they need..."
I'm glad you posted the Paris show. I adored the whole thing. What fantastic energy, from band and audience! Cheers.

I like that the YouTube code shows the window. Many people post links to YouTube with no more explanation than, "This is neat!" and some URL. I don't usually click on a blind URL because I have no idea if I'm even interested in what someone else thought was neat (or I might have already seen it). The YouTube code gives me a glimpse of the clip so I can more easily tell what's in there, if the poster neglected to tell me. So, thanks again!

Cheers Raxo! Listen to this one (I dont think its rare- but its funny... kind of) [...] McCartney was well known for his excellent unprepared speeches ;)
I knew it ... but it's great to see these few seconds a-gain :) ... the funniest moment are the last 3 seconds ... John was a good clown ;D ... I know that he didn't like the word (he used it on I'm A Loser and he said it so):
"' I'm A Loser '. Is me in my Dylan period, because the word 'clown' is in it. I objected to the word clown, because that was artsy-fartsy, but Dylan had used it, so I thought it was all right, and it rhymed with whatever I was doing."
... but in one of his interviews (by Bed-in time ... 1969 surely) he said that he prefered to be considered a clown more than a "serious" pacifist because of the leg-end of the guns (Martin Luther King was murdered recently, y'know) :-/ ...

Interesting because George is handed his first 12 string Rick, I believe, and about 3:20 into it, they are asked about starting their own record label, and John sez they'd never start their own label because it's too much trouble, as they'd find out 3 years later.

I've got a VCR of one of their Ready Steady Go performances, and it looked to me like it was mimed ... John even made an embarrassed face once when his vocal timing was particularly off.
Does anyone know if these were mimed, or maybe there were a few RSG sessions with some live and some not? Can't remember if Shout was on my VCR ...

Yes, they always mimed to there records on Ready Steady Go. I think artist actually played live as the show progressed on.

Shout wasn't performed on RSG, it was for a show called Around The Beatles. They mimed all their performances in Around The Beatles having pre-taped them 9 days prior.
Songs performed in Around The Beatles:
Twist And Shout Roll Over Beethoven I Wanna Be Your Man Long Tall Sally Can't Buy Me Love Medley of hits: Love Me Do/Please Please Me/From Me To You/She Loves You/I Want To Hold Your Hand Shout
It is from the same show that the famous Shakespearean sketch (excerpt from A Midsummer Night's Dream) was performed.

And here's "Shout" (this should actually be called "Shout pt.2" as they are performing the version that appeared on the B-side of The Isley Brother's "Shout pt.1").
This is longer than the version that appeared on Anthology - George's part is a couple of bars longer.

The press conference from '66 right before Candlestick Park. I thought I had seen the whole thing, but there's at least a half hour more here that I never did! I love when Paul's mic falls apart and he's trying to fix if for like a minute and then he looks at George who fixes it in three seconds. Ha. I think this is my favorite press conference because they're all so honest and not at all cuddly. They really do get asked some STUPID questions! To Paul: "What time of day do you prefer to write your tunes?" Paul: "What time of day? Certainly daytime anyway....oh and night time! Certainly something like that. Just anytime really. ANYtime!" What a lame question!!! Part one:

and other sites e.g. Zippy Videos, Google Video and stuff like that. I found it quite handy to know and already downloaded a few vids. It works quite good. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Here's a guide to download, play and convert videos from YouTube.
Locate the video at YouTube by searching. Copy the link of the file. Go to http://www.keepvid.com and paste the link on the box provided. Click the download button. You get the download link. Right click and do 'save target as' for Internet Explorer or 'save link as' for Firefox. You can also paste the download link on to your download manager.
Once the file is downloaded, you'll see the extension is .flv (Flash video file). These files can be played on several players. I recommed the free FLV player http://www.martijndevisser.com/blog...-player-updated
The files can also be converted to your favourite video format. Download the free (actually shareware but as good as free) CinemaForge from here http://www.mediaforge.com/wrapfactory-video.aspx
Converting is quite easy. Select the file, the output format and specify the parameters (frame rate, audio quality etc) and your work is done.

People. If you take the part of the code in bold (above), and select the YouTube thingy in the message window, you will display the vid, and not just the code.

Could someone give me the background of all these videos? Were they all recorded on May 19 and 20? Looking at the history section, it seems that they appeared live at many of these shows and mimed the songs while at others they just send in the performance. Could someone tell me which video corresponds to what show and when it was recorded. I'm confused if some were performed or simply recorded days beforehand.

Paul singing "Yesterday" during the mid-Sixties--I just love it seeing him perform this song live.
In this clip he seems to have streaks of moisture running down his cheeks. I can't really decide if it's because he's sweating or crying...but I think he's crying. It's such a sad song and he was probably having problems with Jane Asher at that time. Does anyone else have an opinion?

And can anyone break down where each bit of footage in this one is from?? Especially where John's wearing the cowboy hat and the press conference and when they're tuning up their instruments. There's a lot I haven't seen and would like to find full versions if possible, but I don't know where a lot of it's from! Except the last bit of course. Always loved that bit.

For some reason when I click on the link I get Helter Skelter and not the Paul interview. Which now I'm very curious to see! Anyway, Paul comes off pretty good in the doc interview. He knew what he was talking about. "Pop music is the classical music of now." I agree.
