Are the Beatles playing live on the roof or miming? I haven't seen the film, only bits of footage (can't stand that album) but I seem to remember it looking mimed (also the (guff, at least it's not Hello, Goodbye) All you Need is Love promo full of Twonks like Jagger sitting around the studio that is supposedly them recording it live).

On the Beatles thing, I just bought a Rubber Soul guitar tab book just so I can learn TLMG's favourite song.
I know, right?Last edited by Toby Gymshorts; 02-08-2017, 21:43.

All You Need is Love wasn't a promo. It was part of a global TV broadcast broadcast live internationally called Our World. The Beatles were asked to provided the UK content. Some of the song's backing tracks were pre-recorded but the rest of it went out live:
"As for the recording of “All You Need is Love” – although many elements were on the backing track, some of the recording was done live, including Lennon’s vocal, McCartney’s bass, Harrison’s guitar solo, Starr’s drums and the symphonic accoutrements (the last two adding to previous overdubs). As the song descended into multi-melodic chaos down the stretch, a conga line began to form among the crowd and the image faded out."

"You try and keep your mind on what's going down
Can't help but see the rhinoceros around us
And you wonder what you can be
And you do what you can
To get bald and high"
Waddya mean? It's perfectly cromulent.
The best guess seems to be that's about nuclear apocalypse (I mean what isn't eh?) but you'd have to ask Marty.Last edited by Amor de Cosmos; 02-08-2017, 22:24.

Originally posted by Satchmo Distel View PostThe Beatles also did David Frost performances of Hey Jude and Revolution where the backing was recorded but vocals live, with Lennon doing his out/in ambivalence on the latter as per the album version.
Like the first live performance of 'Sympathy for the Devil.'

edit: Listening to it now. It's mostly rubbish. And to think that it was all downhill from there on.Last edited by anton pulisov; 06-08-2017, 21:07.
