Just when I think I am done with The Beatles, they pull me back in

I still get sick of hearing about them, and figure I am done with their music too.
And then I accidentally hear the right song at the right time and I am on board again.
Tonight it was 'Across the Universe.'

The layers, the context and the volume, baw.
The thing I come back to is - that everything done by "The Beatles" was done in a very brief, 6 1/2 year window - or about the time it took Def Leppard to make a single album during their heyday or how long Axl Rose takes to pick a studio to record in.
In all seriousness - not even rock and roll, but just popular music in the rock and roll era - there is Elvis Presley, The Beatles, and everything else - that's how big those shadows are. And Elvis created very little of his own shadow, he just executed it so very well. The Beatles weren't the first pop/rock band (frick it, had Buddy Holly lived, we may never had paid any attention to the Beatles), but they were the first one that mattered.

Tomorrow never knows just did this to me.

It's the vocal harmonies, John's riffs and Ringo's drum sound so intoxicating.

With a Little Help From my Friends did this to me last week. I have been wanting to re watch Across the Universe ever since. I really enjoyed that movie when it came out. I probably watched it 5 times.

You can never be through with the Beatles. So much goodness to mine.

Yep. I'm on a 35+ year love affair and it's still going strong.

I never knew till this board that there was such a faction of Fab haters out there. so many melodies. to this day I youtube the rooftop concert occasionally and it always leaves me spellbound

This is what blows me away.
Same of Led Zepplin as well. What was theirs? A decade.
Can't imagine how devastating their breakup must have been to fans in a 1970 world. Or 1969?
And never get their shite together to get back together. Of course John being shot must have crushed them all.
What would Lennon and Yoko be doing now? Progressive Oboe Music? Would they have ever reunited?

Check out the tomorrow never knows/within you without you mashup on the Love album. fricking awesome

I posted a thread not long ago about listening to a rolling stone (magazine) podcast the had the full Jan Wenner interviews with Lennon. Its a great listen. his contempt for the band at that time and how they supposedly treated Yoko was palpable. hes just dropping bombs left and right lol its where he drops that line "I'm an artist, you give me a Tuba and I'll bring you something out of it" or something to that effect. anyway. Its good shite for sure

Probably campaigning for Hillary. Maybe doing what Paul does (which I think is awesome) but I don't think he would be into playing old Beatles songs.

George Martin did a great job on this album mashing up the Beatles songs from the different eras. I listen to it all the time.

You're probably right, but not even one show? An anniversary show? Or some major cause? Something HUGE? Like the tsunami in 2004 or Farm Aid, Apartheid?
Even Zepplins surviving members did a show or two. Celebration Day and Us Fest? (1983ish...?)
I just can't wrap my head around being that awesome at something and seeming to be "over it"? Like Jon Paul Jones. That dude genuinely always sounds like he could give zero fricks about playing again or ever picking up a bass?
Maybe that's why they are GREAT,!
If it were me? I'd end up being KISS. Out there every other year trying to pretend it's still 1978.

Same here--reminds me of a Better Than Ezra thread a while back, where someone criticized them for playing 90's stuff over and over. Duh! If I got paid for doing that I'd have one hell of a time!
