I think The Beatles slowly fell apart after Brian Epstein died, they lost cohesion and direction, very much like our team!

Like the 'new' single, better than Free As A Bird but that's not too difficult.


After Epstein's death we got The White Album, Let it Be and Abbey Road. Not bad for a band 'falling apart'.

They were ok in the studio with the positive influence of Sir George.

It's a beautiful piece of music but I have to say a rather low key, maudlin way to sign off.


Now that you say that I'm warming to it! Beautiful, low key and maudlin. Ok by me.

Where’s the bassline, hook and hi-hats?!?!?!

Obviously not my genre, and no insult to those into it at all, but isn’t this just another money generator for some corporate?

Cherish and enjoy life.... this ain't no dress rehearsal

No idea. And will in all likelihood make millions for someone / something. But on a purely musical level for me it would have been better if it was just vocal/piano/maybe bit of guitar without everything else. It's very eerie hearing JL's voice after everything that happened, apparently left in a box labelled 'for Paul'. On a purely personal level, it's very moving.

The strings were a bit Phil Spectorish weren’t they?

I thought maybe McCartney could have written another verse, his answer to John, and sang it himself.


It’s ok, it grows on you a little with more listens.

""Standing on the corner, just me and Yoko Ono
We was waiting for Jerry to land
Up come a man with a guitar in his hand
Singing "have a marijuana if you can"
His name was David Peel, we found that he was real
He sang "The Pope Smokes Dope Everyday"
Up come a police man shoved us up the street
Singin, "Power to the People today!""

Just watching Get Back on Disney + and the band had clearly had enough, I think they were exhausted by it all. Paul looks like the driving force as he had taken on the management after Epstein died, so he probably felt some responsibility to them all.
George seemed to have a big inferiority complex as he compared himself to Clapton. And Ringo just kind of sat there doing very little, yet he comes across as the most approachable.

When they are just jamming it is magical to watch.


Among a few astonishing things to me about that documentary is how close that album came to not being made and what a tragedy that would have been.

First listen: it’s okay but sadly lacking in octopuses, colourful submarines, tangerine trees, or marmalade skies.

I'm sure the lyrics are:

i.e nob, which was another reason the Beeb banned it in addition to the drug references.

I hope he had someone else doing the singing, as he hasn't been able to sing properly for 25 years.


Obvs his voice isn't what it was but he did fine, has a great band and the 50,000 there loved it. Played 39 songs, various instruments and kept his energy all the way through, seriously impressive at his age.

Frankie Valli on his Farewell Tour is the US aged 89, he will be 90 before the tour finishes. He does lip synch a few songs though.


Ken Barlow is even older if its a competition. Never heard him sing tho tbf.

I didn't realise The Beatles had done 1500 gigs before they broke out with Love me Do
They did 5 gigs a day. No wonder they'd had enough of each other by 1969!

Nobody kept them in check the way Epstein did,and I suppose Paul had to become more of the leader if they were to carry on together.It seems that a lot of their better songs in the late 60’s had Paul singing the lead vocals.


I too thought that Paul did most of the lead vocals but on more careful listening John took the lead on some quieter songs. If you’ve got a guitar get the Beatles song book sing along yourself then check them against the record. Changed my opinion on quite a few songs.

Strong and stable my arse.

Unless you're of a certain age it's hard to explain how huge the Beatles were. Even though there were other truly brilliant bands at the time, no one came close to them. It felt as if the whole world was listening to the Beatles and indeed, the whole world was.

Today's music scene is completely different; in some ways better, in some ways worse. But I don't think we'll ever see another band so preeminent and so loved.

Glad you have ordered a copy.

Both Gary, Mal’s son and Ken are close friends of mine and me and a friend helped get the book going. We’re credited in the opening pages under Simon and Mark (I hope, haven’t got a copy from the publishers yet) but I have seen it go through the last 3 years and it’s a remarkable book and achievement by the family and Ken.

Hope you enjoy it!
