The Beatles



On October 12th 1965, While working on their next album Rubber Soul at Abbey Road Studio’s London, The Beatles recorded ‘Run For Your Life’ in its entirety, in five takes. (Lennon later admits to lifting two lines from Elvis Presley's 1955 hit ‘Baby Let's Play House’). And another new Lennon song ‘This Bird Has Flown’, later known as ‘Norwegian Wood (This Bird Has Flown)’. The track included George Harrison's double-tracked sitar part, the first appearance of that Indian instrument on a pop record.

I just love the Beatles SO much! I was brought up on them as a kid and was lucky enough to have seen Paul McCartney live before.

Has anyone heard about the musical Backbeat in London? It focuses mainly of Stuart Sutcliffe and I thought it was just great. And I learnt a lot! I found this review on it: Backbeat Review

Did anyone across the ditch see the Martin Scorsese doco, "George Harrison: Living in the Material World"?

Apparently it's debuted in America, to great critical reviews (which doesn't always mean it's good... me and the critics don't always hold the same opinions), and I was wondering if anyone has seen it and has opinions thereof?

I don't think it's aired in Australia, although you never know. Maybe on one of those crazy payTV networks I don't have.

I haven't seen it yet BUT will be buying it on DVD when it comes out. I can't wait. I have no doubt that it is indeed killer and heard the same from anyone I talked to that have seen it already.
