It's been a hard day's night
And I've been working like a dog
It's been a hard day's night
I should be sleeping like a log
But when I get home to you
I find the things that you do
Will make me feel all right
You know I work all day
To get you money to buy you things
And it's worth it just to hear you say
You're gonna give me everything
So why on earth should I moan?
'Cause when I get you alone
You know I'll feel okay
When I'm home
Everything seems to be right
When I'm home
Feeling you holding me tight
Tight, yeah
It's been a hard day's night
And I've been working like a dog
It's been a hard day's night
I should be sleeping like a log
But when I get home to you
I find the things that you do
Will make me feel all right
Ow!

Amazingly, this was recorded with only four tracks per the beatlebible link. It’s actually a multitrack mono recording since no pairs were used at the same time. It’s remarkable how good the sound is. Must have been top of the line 1964 gear.

The use of this chord for the intro to Get Back on the "LOVE" (along with the drum solo from Abbey Road) was a brilliant mash by the Martin family.

For you trivia people that was the B-Side of the "A Hard Days Night" single that Bill just played "Things We Said Today"
Nice segue from Cheap Trick—who just got nominated today for the R&R Hall of Fame.
I'm sure they'd love to join their heroes "The Fab 4" with some enshrinement!

I think that the arrival of another band with Beatles level talent would be the swift kick in the butt of the music world that is so desperately needed in this age of auto-tuned crap, American Idol-The Voice shows, and charts dominated by hip-hop, rap, Katy Perrys, Biebers and Timberlakes.
sorry for the long sentence. In a nutshell, it's the only way rock makes itself relevant in the current culture. That's no slight on the many great bands out there currently. Just my wish for another massive talent like the Beatles to come along and change the landscape like they did.
Why mankind deserve just one Beatles?

They broke so much ground throughout their career. From the "frightening" mop tops that freaked parents to "We are more popular than Jesus" Lennon comment to the Acid rock that blew minds open. A pretty rich legacy to leave behind that is actually all around us today, thanks to all the minds they helped blow open in that era.

Good segue, since the last cut Bill played, Things we said today, was a track on Hard Day's Night.

it's like watching those old grainy videos of jfk leaving love field - you want to scream through the tv "DONT GO!!!! STOP!!! FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, PLEASE DONT GO!!!!!!"
but even through all of the nastiness they still managed to give us some great music from those sessions and then put aside their shit to give us the greatest album of all time - "Abbey Road"

A great track from what might be the Beatles best album. This LP is filled with hits - one after another.

Yeah, well, they also preached love, for a while at least. But eventually all hypocrisy will be brought to light.

Love McCartney's bridge. It's hard to believe he was ever capable of such succinct rock brevity. Particularly when one considers the mess he made of his input to "Free As A Bird".

Him describing his first guitar (particle-board and lipstick-tube pickups!) and then playing it - that ol' guitar sounds pretty darned good, even after so many years.

The end and the beginning-before the Beatles popular music was Percy Faith and Perry Como-I give them 10's because of the world they opened up for me and all the dopes of my generation-they said so much in a sparse time period it just cried out for acceptance!

I just saw the movie "Hard Day's Night", for which the Beatles wrote the song for. I recommend it.
I also saw the first part of their "Beatles Anthology" DVD, which I also recommend. In it, George Harrison admits, "We were very tight". It is also clear from from the film, that they have put all the ill feelings behind them and forgiven each other (before Harrison and Lennon passed away).
As for peace:
1) Violence discredits (the other)
2) Violence begets more violence
3) Loop back to 1
The only way to break out of the cycle of hatred and violence is by not being hateful or violent yourself in step two, in other words, forgiving others. I think the Beatles have demonstrated to us how to practice what they have preached.

Wow! It was two guitars and one note on the bass. No wonder I—nor anyone I knew—couldn't figure it out. Thanks for this.

When I used to watch the Beatles cartoon on Saturday mornings, "A Hard Day's Night" always started with that open guitar chord. I don't think I've heard that chord start this song since then (mid-1960s). Nice to hear it again!

Since I haven't posted anything in awhile, I thought I would post this pencil portrait I did of John Lennon a while ago. The reference was a screen cap from A Hard Day's Night. I always loved this scene with John. Once again, my scanner read the texture of the paper more than the soft shading, so it looks a little rough. Looking at this drawing makes me sad sometimes. I'm a huge Beatles fan and I still remember the day he was killed like it was yesterday. And then the loss of George.....yeah, I'm a sentimental sap. Well I hope you like the drawing.
