These kids have something going for them. They just might amount to something.

 

[jeff of pa]

imo they were great together!


but alone, only Lennon had something.
But Yoko & his Politics prevented him from being Great.
I agreed with Some of his Beliefs [Re: Imagine]
But I fear if he were alive he would be way too far Left
& up the wrong butts thanks in part to Yoko



Ringo was like Country Singers . no voice & only knew 2 or 3 Notes
George, way too Strange ! in love with or Brainwashed by Ravi Shankar ,
Definitely not a rocker in any form.
Paul, Turned into a Kiddie songs Writer .
almost, if not all of his music seemed to be childish .

Paul Played Hershey Stadium this Past week

In an interview Paul was asked if Ringo was the best drummer in Rock and Roll. He replied " He's not even the best drummer in the Beatles"

If not for all the Little Girls Standing in Place Peeing Themselves & Screaming
at the top of their lungs.
everyone would have known they couldn't carry a toon live in 1964

Yeah Jeff, having great engineers in the studio can correct a multitude of sins. Don't get wrong, they were of course a great band.

Jeff, you need to give THE BEATLES "LIVE ON THE BBC VOL 1 & 2 on APPLE Records.
I saw The Beatles Sept 1965 at the Gatorbowl in Jacksonville, and they could carry a tune live.

The Beatles actually were the cutting edge of recording technology.
Yes, today, engineers can correct a multitude of sins with the digital recording and unlimited outboard effects, but when the Beatles began, it was on two track recorders, with instruments amps miced behind movable partitions, all recorded on one track, the vocals added on the other , punching in and tape splicing had its limits, and mixed on a primitive mixing board. The outboard sweeting effects were limited to reverb and tremolo.
Then Studer came out with a 4-track recorder, and later George Martin's engineer banked two Studers to create an 8-track and a 8 channel mixing board to record the SGT Pepper album. This was the beginning of modern recording, all due to the Beatles creative requests made in the studio which resulted in the first feedback, echo, flanging and backwards recordings on record.
Today tracks are unlimited, all outboard is on digital, vocals can be autotuned, single notes or drum beats can be sampled to create a "perfect" sound, and so on. Anything can be corrected, including poor musicianship.
Back in the '60's , bands had to record that "perfect" performance in the studio, because the sweetening and fixing was very, very limited.

You are right ECS. I really appreciate the great artists from the 40s and 50s when sound/recording was in it's infancy. Talk about some primitive equipment. Some of the vocals , having to do take after take would get very exhausting.
