Always found John and Paul doing the switcharoo on the bearded/babyface looks during the Let It Be and Abbey Road era funny.

George's diary:
“Got up, went to Twickenham rehearsed until lunchtime. Left the Beatles, went home and in the evening, did ‘King of Fuh’ at Trident Studio. Had chips later at Klaus and Christine’s, went home.”

Paul's new album dropped late last week: The Boys of Dungeon Lane
It's a spectacular offering from someone who is almost 84. Without question, must be the greatest release by an octagenarian in history.
Paul plays 17 instruments on the album.
I'm already marveling, but when he finally passes, his legend is only going to grow. Truly amazing that he was in the crowd for Lennon to pluck out - all in Liverpool.
Two early highlights are the singles that were teased in the weeks leading up to the full album release. First is the acoustic piece - Days We Left Behind. There are definitely shades here of Johnny Cash's end-of-life work with Rick Rubin. Not as morose, but also not exactly a pick-me-up. I appreciate the willingness to lay his voice bare for what it is now - not the Paul of old, but an elderly bard laying down wisdom. No real nostalgia here. Just realness.

Second is the first collab with Ringo in quite a few years:

Yea, I picked it up. I've given it about a listen and a half.
Not crazy about it so far.
I think the first track "As You Lie There" is probably the most tolerable tune.
...but I'll keep listening.

That's viewing it from a "nostalgia" point of view.
I'm judging it based in comparison to his other albums. ...and I have 95% of his entire catalog. The fact remains, he really can't sing much anymore.
Is it as bad as Egypt Station, Memory Almost Full, Driving Rain, Chaos and Creation in the Backyard, or New? No. But is if as good as Ram or McCartney 2? No
I'm not sold on it. ...yet

If you listen to Days We Left Behind, it's really just not nostalgic. It instead seems to lay out the argument for simply accepting things as they were. It's fairly brutal, actually. It says something about how, for some, their lot was simply to be stranded in misery in Liverpool.
quote:Again, that's sort of the point. This is an honest point in time - not some effort to convince you it's 1972. IMO, it's much more a "work of art" than it is an "album of songs".

I've been to a lot of concerts over the years, saw all my favorite bands. But if I could roll back time this little get together would be at the top of the list. Just watching their expressions you know they were having fun.

Never cared for anything Rubin had his fingers in other than, I was able to slightly tolerate "Hurt". I thought Johnny's covers of "Rusty Cage" and "Personal Jesus" were a joke. I actually thought Rubin's work on Petty's Wildflowers sucked also.
I also think another big distinction was although Johnny Cash had a distinctive voice, it was never good. Paul had a really good voice at one time.
I'm just not into Paul's album yet. I'll give it another listen in a week or so. It may grow on me. "Days We Left Behind" is OK. ...but the song with Ringo-"Home to Us" is dreadful.

Sure. But Cash was also once the very epitome of masculinity, then reduced to an elderly shell.

The Beatles’ missing 1964 ‘Top Of The Pops’ performance footage found
quote:
Long-lost film footage of The Beatles playing on the BBC’s Top Of The Pops has reportedly been found and will be restored.
The band appeared on the iconic show on 19 March 1964 to record performances of ‘Can’t Buy Me Love’ and ‘You Can’t Do That’, the A-side and B-side of a single released the following day which went on to become their fourth UK Number One.
Like many early episodes of Top Of The Pops, however, the footage was not preserved by the BBC and it has not been seen for decades.
Now, the film preservation group Film Is Fabulous have said that they were presented with a 35mm BBC negative of the performance at the recent British Film Collectors’ Convention in Surrey.
They claim the family of a deceased former industry professional passed the precious film to them, and they will work to restore the footage and return it to the BBC Archives.
quote:
Describing the footage, the group said: “Recorded on the 19th March 1964, at the BBC’s Television Theatre (since renamed The Shepherd’s Bush Empire), in London, the inserts beautifully captured the Fab Four at the height of Beatlemania.”
“Passages of the recording show the studio, the technicians, and the make-up ladies. There were four takes of the first song, ‘Can’t Buy Me Love’, with two being aborted because of technical errors. During breaks, the Beatles openly joked, and could be seen dancing to amuse themselves.”
They added: “The other song, ‘You Can’t Do That’, had two takes. During the second of these recordings John Lennon pulled a funny face when the camera came in for a ‘close-up’. It’s an amusing piece of Beatle history.”
The BBC routinely wiped and reused tapes during the 1960s, resulting in the loss of countless episodes of many of their most popular shows, including Top Of The Pops. If successfully restored, this would be the oldest surviving footage of the Fab Four on the show.
