Mellow Beatles Instrumentals

1st Question – Game Platform

The first and most obvious question is which game platform Nintendo Wii , PlayStation 3, or Xbox 360? Obviously if you own one of these, that will make your decision easy. If you don’t already own a game system, get the Nintendo Wii . It’s the most popular choice for Beatle RockBand users, and you’ll love the other games available for it.

Each Beatles RockBand Product you buy has a Wii PS3 and XBox version. So make sure you select the right link for your game platform.

2nd Question – Game Edition

Next question, which package… Software Only, Special Value Bundle or Limited Edition Premium Bundle?

You can buy the Software Only then choose which guitar controller you want to add. Your choices are John Lennon’s Black Rickenbacker 325 Guitar or George Harrison’s Gretsch Duo Jet Guitar.

But, if you want Ringo’s Drum Set and Paul’s Hoffner Bass, you have to order the Limited Edition Premium Bundle. That version includes the software, Ringo’s Drum Set (Beatles logo on the front), Paul McCartney’s Violin-Shaped Hoffner Bass Guitar, a Microphone, and a Mic Stand. WARNING: This product is available for a limited time only!

If you want the Full Beatles Band, you have to order the Limited Edition Premium Bundle, and add John’s Rickenbacker Guitar and George’s Gretsch Guitar.

If you don’t care about the Beatles Replica instruments, you can get the Special Value Edition which includes the software along with a standard RockBand guitar and standard RockBand Drums instead of the controllers that look like the Beatles instruments. You can save a few dollars, but I’d rather go with the Beatles instruments. They may even be worth money someday to a collector.

Paul McCartney was named “songwriter of the year” at 29th annual awards put on by the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers.

The American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers (ASCAP) awarded Paul McCartney the songwriter of the year honor at a gala dinner at the Grosvenor House Hotel in London on Wednesday 14 October 2009. McCarntey was given this prestigious award in recognition for the songs “All You Need Is Love”, “Hello Goodbye” and “Come Together” (Hey, I though John wrote Come Together!).

The Awards recognized the most performed works for last year by writer and publisher members of the U.K collecting society ‘Performing Rights Society’.

Other winners included Coldplay for Song of the Year with Viva La Vida and AC/DC’s Brian Johnson for “Back in Black” and “You Shook Me All Night Long”. Also awarded were Def Leppard and Mutt Lange (”Pour Some Sugar On Me”), Pink Floyd’s Roger Waters (”Money”), The Rolling Stones’ Mick Jagger & Keith Richards (”Start Me Up”)

Champagne for the nights winners, tissues for the losers.

Paul McCartney Named Songwriter of the Year

The negative limelight cast a dark shadow over the start of the tour. An anonymous telephone caller during the summer of 66 warned that members of the band would be shot at either of their two performances in Texas later that day. When fireworks later went off during the nighttime concert, The group immediately looked at the other three to see which of them had been hit.

But the next night the Beatles were equally on edge when they were about to step onto the open-air stage on Cincinnati’s Crosley Field during a thunder storm. While over thirty thousand audience members sat inside Corsley Field waiting to see the show, the Beatles were fearful of getting an electric shock if they were to touch their mics. McCartney vomited before the show. Luckily, just before the show was set to start the performance was called off and postponed for the next day.

The day after, was the Beatles Last Performance. The Beatles appeared at Candlestick Park on August 29th, 1966. The band was at 2nd second base far away from the audience of 25,000. The stage was raised up five feet above the field and inside a six foot high fence. The stage was guarded by 200 police officers. Songs played at the concert were ‘Rock And Roll Music’, ‘She’s A Woman’, ‘If I needed Someone’, ‘Day Tripper’, ‘Baby’s In Black’, ‘I Feel Fine’, ‘Yesterday’, ‘I Wanna Be Your Man’, ‘Nowhere Man’, ‘Paperback Writer’, and ‘Long Tall Sally’.

When the show was over, the four Beatles drove away from candlestick park in an armored car. All four Beatles knew that this was the end of their touring. John Lennon had taken a camera on stage with him and snapped pictures of himself and the other Beatles in between numbers. Paul McCartney had requested Press official Tony Barrow to tape record the Beatles last performance on a small hand held recorder.

As The group’s airplane departed California, George Harrison proclaimed, ‘Well, that is it, I’m not a Beatle any more.’

The only known film footage of the Beatles last performance was captured by a fifteen year old audience member and appears in a documentary called The Unseen Beatles.

You can see footage of the Beatles Last Concert from the ‘Unseen Beatles’ on Amazon (scroll down a bit to see the video player)….

Sgt Pepper Beatles Costume

First, you could go with the Sgt Pepper era Beatles Costume.

OK, wait till you see how pathetic these look in the Amazon product images. I just had to have some fun and make the image above. These actually look great without Amazon’s goofy poses and odd faces (nice leg kick George)…

These Sgt Pepper costumes are available on Amazon in four colors…

Don’t be frightened off by the goofy pictures on Amazon! (I warned you.)…

Green – John Lennon
Pink – Ringo Starr
Blue – Paul McCartney
Red – George Harrison

Other suggestions include the Early Beatles Costume, or a Cheaper Sgt Pepper Costume Jacket. Here’s the…

Sgt Pepper Costume Jacket

As a slightly cheaper alternative, you can go with just the jackets made from another company. But, unfortunately they only come in Blue and Red, and you’re on your own for pants. They are also less authentic looking compared to the real Beatles versions…

Sgt Pepper Costume Jacket Blue
Sgt Pepper Costume Jacket Red

Early Beatles Suits

The next alternative is to go with Early Beatles Costumes. Here, everyone would obviously wear the same suit. The Beatles suit fits chest sizes up to 42”. (I’m 6′3″ and 220lbs with a 42 inch chest, so I guess I’d be the maximum size that would fit).

Early Beatles Suits

Deluxe Early Beatles Costume

Want to go all out? Check out this Super Deluxe Beatles Costume suit. This is something that could be worn by a Beatles Cover band. Four of these would have a great shot at first place in a costume contest.

Deluxe Beatles Costume (head not included)

Beatles Wig

Of course every Beatles costume deserves a Beatles Wig. Unless of course you have enough hair to comb forward.

Here’s a Deluxe Beatles Wig…

Here’s a darker shorter Beatles Wig… (Save $10 Off on this Beatles Wig)

Beatles Costume Accessories

And, here’s a good thin black Beatles Neck Tie to finish off the early Beatles Costume…

Beatles Tie

John Lennon Eyeglasses

These are great John Lennon Eyeglasses for the Sgt Pepper costume. (John Lennon didn’t wear them in the early Beatles.) These John Lennon eyeglasses are clear so they will look like the real thing but they won’t have you bumping into walls and bridges…

John Lennon Eyeglasses

Beatles Costume Mustaches

For the Beatles Sgt Pepper Costume, you’ll need costume mustaches for all four members and maybe some sideburns.

For some odd reason, costume mustaches are sold by the dozen. (Today’s weird fact of the day.)

Costume Mustaches 12 pack

Check out these Fake Sideburns too.

If you do go out on Halloween as a Beatle or a group of Beatles, PLEASE post my a comment. If you have a photo, let me know. I’ll post it to my blog. Happy Halloween, Have fun!

Beatles Costume for Halloween

Who would take such a course? The university says it’s good for people working in the fields of popular music studies, cultural studies, social anthropology, politics and musicology. Personally, I think it’s good for people looking to meet chicks. But, maybe that’s just me. Wonder if I can get a job as a Beatles-ologist. That would be gear!

Canadian Music Teacher, Mary Lu Zahalan, signed up for the course and believes she is the first coming from Canada (Sorry, Mary you may be the first and only Canadian in class.) George Burton, who plays in a 60s band says and academic look into the Beatles is probably long overdue. Other students told the Associated Press that they think the degree in Beatles will be a great experience.

Berklee college for music in Boston has two Beatles classes. “The Music of The Beatles” studies technical aspects of the Beatles songs such as lyrics, melody, harmony, and rhythm. But, it also takes a look at the history of each Beatle to better understand the groups music. Also the social environment will be addressed to better understand the group’s musical development.

Berklee also has a course on the Guitar Styles of the Beatles. This course obviously studys the guitar riffs, leads and grooves of the Beatles. But also looks at a concept they call “Mini-Orchestration” in the Beatles guitar layering.

Tuition for Berklee is $14,600 for the quarter. Liverpool Hope University’s Beatles Course lasts 12 weeks and costs around $6000. So far 20 people have signed up at Hope U. Hmm, quick math that’s $120,000 for the University. Maybe I should start charging for my Beatles blog posts. Volunteers?

Earn a Degree in Beatles School?

Yoko now admits, “I used to hide my jaws with my long hair” and “I kept to myself”.

John Lennon would reassure his wife Yoko of her beauty continuously. He would move the hair from her face and tell her to show her face because it’s beautiful. He questioned why she would hide behind her hair. But, John Lennon’s mean streak would come out now and then, and he’d tease her by calling her…

a “martian” because of what she calls an unusually large head for her body.

John & Yoko spent a week in bed following their wedding and invited the press into their honeymoon suite in Amsterdam and later Montreal. The protest was to get the press to write about the idea of moving towards Peace. Their room was decorated with handwritten signs saying “Hair Peace” and “Bed Peace”. Unfortunately, the signs were thrown out after the hotel maids cleaned out the room.

During their campaign to protest for peace, John told the press that people should grow their hair for peace and let it grow until peace comes. Lennon didn’t wait that long. In January of 1970, John and Yoko cut their hair very short declaring 1970 would be “Year One” for peace. Ah, if only it were true. Almost 3 years later to the day, the Paris Peace Accords were signed by the U.S., North Vietnam, South Vietnam and the Viet Cong. But, it would be another 2 years after that before the US left Vietnam. And sadly, total world peace is still just a dream.

Apparently John got his pacifist inspiration from his Aunt Mimi. As a boy Lennon would refuse to eat his vegetables. One day his Aunt Mimi scolded the boy Lennon yelling, “Give Peas a Chance!”. OK, I made that part up.

Yoko Ono Admits She Hid Behind Hair Because…

The Backbeat Beatles movie was directed by Ian Softley in 1994. Director Softley will be adapting the film for the stage. He says that he was visualizing a theater production when he directed the film. He saw the dramatic paintings of the original Beatles Bass player, Stewart Sutcliffe and stunning photography of his girlfriend and Beatles photographer Astrid Kirchherr woven into a narrative with the energy and excitement of great live music. He notes that the early day Beatles had the rawness and energy like a punk band. He hopes to recreate that rawness and energy in the stage production.

Stewart Sutcliffe stayed behind in Germany with his girlfriend Astrid when the rest of the lads returned to their native Liverpool. Stewart Sutcliffe tragically died in 1962 at only 21 years old. He never saw the meteoric rise of his pals in the band.

The story of Backbeat Beatles is basically a love triangle between best friends John Lennon and Stewart Sutcliffe, and Stewart’s girlfriend Astrid Kirchherr. The love story is set to a backdrop of the Beatles playing raucous all night sets in the Beatles Hamburg Club.

Stewart Sutcliffe was the original Beatles bass player (Paul was on guitar at the time) and Stewart was Johns best friend. Stu’s girlfriend Astrid Kirchherr will also be involved in the development of the play.

The play is not what you would call a “musical”. It is a play with songs. The music will include 22 early rock standards that the Beatles performed in their early Beatles Hamburg club days. Paul McCartney was not impressed though. He felt the Rock-n-Roll-ness (is that a word Paul?) was taken off of him especially when they showed Lennon singing Long Tall Sally, which was a song Paul sung live.

The play starts it’s journey in Scotland at the Citizens Theatre. Softley wanted the play to open on it’s own merit as a piece of theater and worried that opening in a place like Liverpool would have rested too much on Beatles Nostalgia. The Citizens Theater has a reputation for new writings and new plays. He wanted to start somewhere that had a great history for artistic and creative interpretation. (Or, maybe he just wanted to work the bugs out before opening somewhere with a higher profile.)

The stage production of Backbeat Beatles has hopes of next playing in London and eventually making an international tour. Stay tuned to this blog for future updates.

Backbeat Beatles Movie Becomes a Play

Ever wonder about the Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds meaning?

Lucy Vodden was the childhood inspiration for the Beatles Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds. She has passed away at the age of 46. She had been treated for Lupus for five years at St. Thomas Hospital in London.

The story began when John Lennon’s son Julian brought home a painting from school. Lennon asked his son what the drawing was, and Julian announced to his Dad, “It’s Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds”. The drawing was of Jullian’s 4 year old classmate Lucy O’Donnell. (She later married and changed her name to Lucy Vodden.)

After the release of the song the Beatles landmark Sgt. Pepper album, the press accused Lennon of slipping a subliminal message to listeners with the song title’s initials, “L.S.D.”. Lennon insisted the song title was simply inspired by his son’s drawing of Lucy and had nothing to do with drugs. He joked that he later would look at the intials of all the songs he wrote after that to be sure they didn’t spell out anything.

British Psychedelia was at the time was often about returning to a more simple innocent state of mind such as when you were a child. Hence Beatles songs about childhood times like Strawberry Fields and Penny Lane. Lucy in the Sky seems to be another example of childlike dreamy lyrics.

Lucy Vodden and Julian Lennon lost touch after John and Julian’s Mother Cynthia divorced. But Jullian reached out to his childhood friend in recent years after hearing of her illness. Julian had sent flowers and gardening supply gift certificates to help lighten her spirits. Jullian told the Associated Press that he wasn’t sure how to approach her at first. But, after hearing that they shared a love for gardening, he felt gardening supplies would be just the thing to send to put a smile on her face.

Ironically, Lucy Vodden didn’t particularly like the Beatles classic that she inspired. She told the Associated Press that she doesn’t relate to that type of song. She recalled as a teenager telling some school friends about her association. They didn’t believe her and instead believed the rumors that the song was about the drug L.S.D. So, she later kept her association with the song private.

Jullian is reportedly “Shocked and saddened” to learn of his old friends death.

“Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds” Dead at 46

1st Question – Game Platform

The first and most obvious question is which game platform Nintendo Wii , PlayStation 3, or Xbox 360? Obviously if you own one of these, that will make your decision easy. If you don’t already own a game system, get the Nintendo Wii . It’s the most popular choice for Beatle RockBand users, and you’ll love the other games available for it.

Each Beatles RockBand Product you buy has a Wii PS3 and XBox version. So make sure you select the right link for your game platform.

2nd Question – Game Edition

Next question, which package… Software Only, Special Value Bundle or Limited Edition Premium Bundle?

You can buy the Software Only then choose which guitar controller you want to add. Your choices are John Lennon’s Black Rickenbacker 325 Guitar or George Harrison’s Gretsch Duo Jet Guitar.

But, if you want Ringo’s Drum Set and Paul’s Hoffner Bass, you have to order the Limited Edition Premium Bundle. That version includes the software, Ringo’s Drum Set (Beatles logo on the front), Paul McCartney’s Violin-Shaped Hoffner Bass Guitar, a Microphone, and a Mic Stand. WARNING: This product is available for a limited time only!

If you want the Full Beatles Band, you have to order the Limited Edition Premium Bundle, and add John’s Rickenbacker Guitar and George’s Gretsch Guitar.

If you don’t care about the Beatles Replica instruments, you can get the Special Value Edition which includes the software along with a standard RockBand guitar and standard RockBand Drums instead of the controllers that look like the Beatles instruments. You can save a few dollars, but I’d rather go with the Beatles instruments. They may even be worth money someday to a collector.

The Beatles Rock Band Buyers Guide – Which to Buy?

Variety reports that there is going to be a film made about Brian Epstein’s life. It’s going to be called “A Life in A Day”. Hmm, that title sounds familiar-ish but backwards. Producer David Permut is currently attempting to secure the rights to the Beatles music for the film. The film is said to concentrate on the early years of the Beatles forming. The film hasn’t begun shooting yet.

New Brian Epstein Movie Coming

Director Robert Zemeckis and Disney are in negotiations to remake Yellow Submarine, the 1968 psychedelic animated film based on the music of The Beatles. The potential deal would combine cutting-edge 3-D feature technology with the latest reinterest in The Beatles.

A report in Variety states that Disney is working on a complicated rights deal that would clear sixteen Beatles tunes for use in the film. The report doesn’t say how close Zemeckis would  like to stick to the original, but song availability could have a lot to do with it. He won’t need the voices of Paul or Ringo, however, as even in the original the Fab Four were primarily played by voice actors.

Zemeckis plans to make the new “Yellow Submarine” in the same cutting-edge 3-D process he has used for other films like “The Polar Express,” “Beowulf,” and his upcoming version of “A Christmas Carol.”

The original psychedelic cartoon told the tale of Pepperland, a musical paradise under the sea that’s protected by Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band. It’s a happy place until it’s attacked by the music-hating Blue Meanies.

It could be great like the movie Across the Universe, or it could be another Sgt. Pepper with the Bee-Gees disaster. The original was a phenomenal bit of cartooning contrasts which included rotoscoping incorporated into free form visions of a dying Victorian landscape, unusual Nazi-like villains whose horrors seem slightly surreal and almost laughable. It would be interesting to see what they can do with the story with today’s technology. It may all come down to a better script and not more bells and whistles.

The deal would reportedly include rights for Disney to turn the film into a Broadway musical, like the company has already done with “The Lion King,” as well as a Cirque du Solil. To be honest, I expected the Beatles Love Cirque show to more Yellow Submarine-like. So, hopefully they’ll pull off that magical world in a second Beatles Cirque collaboration.

The goal is to have the Yellow Submarine remake ready for the July 2012 Olympics in London. That is if the new Yellow Sub can make it off the ground.
