it feels like a generation of time passed between shea stadium and twickenham
Candlestick was over a year after Shea. Crazy to think only 2 years and just under 4 months passed between that show and the rooftop.
― octobeard, Thursday, 9 December 2021 00:32 (two years ago) link
just under 5 months... my bad. Either way it's one of the things that blows me away with that era of music - artists were insanely prolific, especially the Beatles. Really helped to stopped touring I guess.

What's also strange to consider is that, when they're talking about their Hamburg days in Get Back, they're not talking ancient history - they had last played a residency there only six years earlier.

When I was 29, shit I did when I was 22 or 23 was pretty ancient history

God, Billy Preston showing up just brings everything together.
Let it Be obv not a top tier Beatles album, but the sound once they get to Apple is so awesome - splits the difference between the White Album and Abbey Road.

They spent, what, a fucking week at Twickenham? Two weeks?
All this time, it seemed like they had to sit there for an entire winter.
― pplains, Thursday, 9 December 2021 02:47 (two years ago) link
every day at twickenham was too many

Sure, but it still seemed a bit nicer than the freaking green-carpeted band room at Jack Robee High.

nah that room was cozy! it was cool i liked ittwickenham was like trying to find inspiration in a fuckin airplane hangar

count me among those who had always had the sense they were at Twickenham for at least, idk, two months. must be George's "winter of discontent" comments.

the one thing i liked abt twickenham was the colored lights they bounced off the background, it looked super cool

The brown Tele is all rosewood - even reissues go for like 5 grand unless you get one of the later Japanese ones which is just veneer rather than solid. Even with internal chambering they weigh a ton. Fender made it as a gift for George. They also made a matching Strat for Hendrix but he died before they gave it to him.

ums I h8 that bebopalula thing but whatev, it was a weird time
apologies for guitar nerd bullshit but...
Like, as the legend goes, the whole reason they had to play weird honky European instruments was because due to holdover wartime rationing, it was very difficult to get the decent-quality American instruments being made at the time. They wanted Strats and Teles (again, so the legend goes) like American musicians and the Shadows were playing at the time, but they simply weren't available.
Once it became possible to just send Mal out to pick up some Strats or Teles or whatever, they were already too spoiled and famous and rich to "properly" appreciate them (again, so the legend goes).
BUT at the same time, they made some pretty frking indelible music with the allegedly subpar instruments (and decidedly underpowered sound reinforcement) they had, so.
Maybe Stratocasters should have been illegal in 1980s America - force all those young glam shredders make do with horrid Sears guitars or whatever, maybe they would have made better music and the world would be a better place

Paul definitely has his offenses, but easily 75% of John's songwriting output in 64-65 would qualify at a minimum for Songs where the singer/protagonist comes off as a serious dick without meaning to

speaking of, it was interesting in pt 3 (i think?) where john was doing a song called "road to marrakesh" that seemed to be a precursor to "jealous guy"

"you won't see me" is part of that vibe too but i think it's a really amazing lyric and is basically paul's "no reply"
