But he knew it wouldn't last
Jojo left his home in Tucson, Arizona
For some California grass
Get back, get back
Get back to where you once belonged
Get back, get back
Get back to where you once belonged
Get back Jojo, go home
Get back, get back
Back to where you once belonged
Get back, get back
Back to where you once belonged
Get back Jo
Sweet Loretta Martin thought she was a woman
But she was another man
All the girls around her say she's got it coming
But she gets it while she can
Get back, get back
Get back to where you once belonged
Get back, get back
Get back to where you once belonged
Get back Loretta, go home
Get back, get back
Get back to where you once belonged
Get back, get back
Get back to where you once belonged
Get back, get back
Get back to where you once belonged
Get back, get back, get back
Yoko and Linda were quite placid and quiet.
But there was one person who was pissed off. Argumentative.
It was George.
George broke up the Beatles!
Fwiw, he is the only non-Beatles musician to be given credit on a Beatles recording (Eric Clapton was not credited for his performance on the track "While my guitar gently weeps" because he was signed to a different record label).
I think best thing was legal, political, economic, industrial, social systems copied by the world...oh yeah and literature, music and beer!.
English beer isn't that good. Give me a good belgian beer any time! Or modern American IPAs...
this is about as hard as Old Sir Paul could rock, the poor Dear
Aaargh, if only thewiseking had been around to show Paul how to rock, the Beatles might have actually been a good band. So frustrating!
Helter Skelter?
I always liked the guitar on the Reprise of Sgt. Pepper.
This somg is a protest agaimst the British governments stance on immigrants. It was originally called " No Pakistanis"
99% not true, distorts one fact in the song's evolution. Details at Wikipedia.
na, because it would be melodic like shit!
Only a musically uneducated person can write a statement like this, very sad ....
Only because they're "The Beatles".

They were still a very tight live band. Just incredible.
Why? So this person does not like the Beatles, who cares? It's his or her choice. Christ, Not everyone likes them. I do, but I respect someone who does not. Sheesh.
Thanks junebaby65! I'm a non-fan of the Beatles....and appreciate you (and others) who understand it's not everyone's cuppa. Long Live RP!!
Personally, I love the Beatles, but I sympathize. Joni Mitchell--my ears HATE her voice, but other people think she's the greatest thing ever.
Helter Skelter?
are you serious ?

five or six 10-year-olds, acting like little ladies with our purses
acting haughty, complaining that this movie was "soooo boring!"
but after they got on the roof, I was mesmerized
haven't seen it since then
can't find it anywhere
All those scenes of infighting in the studio aren't very flattering to the band or their image.
I suspect that is at least part of the reason why Paul and others are not anxious to re-release the movie.
Too bad, because it is a great timepiece of a band falling apart, and yet still producing great music.

You poor soul.
are you serious ?
Super funny!
Lennon did the lead pickin'
You need to get out more. ; )
Yeah, but someone's got to clarify context.
You need to get out more. ; )
Anybody find it funny that this comment is to a song that was recorded live on a rooftop?
midreaming, ya probably felt a bit of self-gratification that you could put together a seemingly poignant set of sentences that expressed your thoughts. Too bad they are rendered meaningless because your context was all horked to hell.
He wasn't referring to this specific song in his comments, he was referring to The Beatles in general ("..this band is Not what you think they are. How's that for discreet? But really here's the way I like to put it -..the rock and roll soul of their music came from a producer and a million dollar studio..."), so his context is valid (you are the one who took his words out of context), and his "poignant set of sentences" is not "rendered meaningless" - though I find his assertions somewhat inaccurate.
Your mama's waitin' for you!
What gives?
I think best thing was legal, political, economic, industrial, social systems copied by the world...oh yeah and literature, music and beer!.
and let's not forget the hundreds of years of brutal imperialistic colonialism while de-humanizing and stripping any form of rights whatsoever on people around the world............cheers!
Everybody in my multitude of mushrooming churches loves this song that celebrates the absurdity of life... here's more absurdity—
The latest effort to distract attention from the NSA revelations is more absurd than most
Mr. Snowden: We have a nice hard jail cell awaiting you upon your return to your homeland, you traitorous pig......

The greatest thing Great Britain ever produced was Fish and Chips.

cool!
marvelous song from one of the greatest albums in infinity...

In response to the applause from the people on the rooftop after the final song, McCartney says, "Thanks Mo!" (to Ringo's wife Maureen) and Lennon quips, "I'd like to say 'thank you' on behalf of the group and ourselves, and I hope we passed the audition!"<2>
Ahh, yes. Good ol' "Mo".
Talk about "but she gets it while she can"...with George, as it turned out.
Ahh, those incestuous little Beatles.
Just a little bit of goss.

much passion in your discourse, me thinks its near and dear to you. Ask yourself why is it you care so much? I am guessing Bob Dylan never went corporate, never ripped off audiences, was never a fraud? Please...i guess we all have our own truth.
It's easy to slag a band for whatever political reasons might offend us. The thing is, and it is, really, that the music is the important thing. The studio, the production team, the drugs, the girls, they're not really important at all. Not to me, anyway.
I actually spent last night listening to The White album and Abbey Road, I just did as a lark....there is some truly amazing music on those two albums, regardless of who produced it, who wrote it, who took which drugs or who had which girl or when....
Music, people....keep your focus.
the backing vocal of Mary Clayton on the Stones Gimme Shelter has more guts alone and is tougher and more honest than anything done by the Beatles. If rock isn't tough and honest what is it? I'll tell you, it's Pop, then it fades in relevance and becomes adult contemporary. ..not Rock and Roll and definitely not the timeless voice of a generation. Or wait ..maybe so.. Yes, That's It !! The Beatles! A timeless voice of their generation.. yup it fits.

Actually, you are incorrect.
Um, yup, I think so!
Even greater than the Magna Carta?
Beatles famous rooftop performance of Get Back. The Beatles performed "Get Back" (along with other songs from the album) as part of the "Beatles Rooftop Performance" which took place on the roof of Apple Studios in Savile Row, London on January 30, 1969.
blah, blah blah, blah blah blah blah.. corporate. over produced. boy band. band wagon.
So then your not into the Backstreet Boyz?....dufus!!!!
Thanks for posting this. I just didn't have the energy.

Actually, I'd say her backing vocal has more guts than anything done by the Stones. Her vocal falls into my personal category of "great vocals done by unknown women that completely upstaged the superstar male band behind them and for which they received insufficient credit," which also includes Clare Torry's performance on Pink Floyd's "The Great Gig in the Sky" and Nicolette Larson's on Neil Young's "Motorcycle Mama."
Go on home.
If I could summarize your central point, .......

If I could summarize your central point, the Beatles do not epitomize rock and roll because they are essentially a pop band owing everything to studio tricks and drugs. They were just not tough like rock and roll is meant to be.
Well - in their Liverpool and Hamburg apprenticeship all records and reports are there was no band tougher, more rock and roll than the Beatles. They were punks before punks existed. They honed their considerable craft long before they entered a studio, with 8 hour per night gigs in very very tough working man's clubs.
But then they changed - at a pace and with a breadth of experimentation and broadening of styles that is mind boggling as much today as then.
3 1/2 years from Love Me Do to Tomorrow Never Knows.
"Fades in relevance" is hilarious in describing a band that is still voted every single year by critics and more importantly fellow rock and rollers as the most influential artists in history.
As the fine folks at AMG state so well:
To start with the obvious, they were the greatest and most influential act of the rock era, and introduced more innovations into popular music than any other rock band of the 20th century. Moreover, they were among the few artists of any discipline that were simultaneously the best at what they did and the most popular at what they did. Relentlessly imaginative and experimental, the Beatles grabbed a hold of the international mass consciousness in 1964 and never let go for the next six years, always staying ahead of the pack in terms of creativity but never losing their ability to communicate their increasingly sophisticated ideas to a mass audience. Their supremacy as rock icons remains unchallenged to this day, decades after their breakup in 1970.
We miss you, John.
Sweet Loretta fat
She thought she was a cleaner
But she was a frying pan
