Using A.I. extraction software, an inspired rendition of "Let It Be" - sung by John Lennon and recorded on January 25, 1969 - has been uncovered. Recorded in fits and starts, John's guitar and vocals were isolated, then remixed and edited together for a more complete performance of the song.
In the nineteen seventies, 150 hours of Beatles rehearsal tapes, recorded for the 1970 "Let It Be" documentary, were stolen and leaked onto the black market. Thirty years later, they were recovered by British and Dutch police during an intercontinental sting dubbed "Operation Acetone." In 2021, some of these recordings were used for the Beatles' "Get Back" docuseries. However, most of the tapes, which contain a goldmine of unreleased original Beatles music, remain on the cutting room floor.

I wish I could go back in time and find whoever it was that decided that there should always be cameras filming and/or tapes rolling whenever the Beatles sat in studios together. THAT person was a genius, and I owe them so much.

It was Paul's idea much to the annoyance of John and George who wanted little to do with it.

@aerialtour Год назад

When you mention who decided to keep all the tapes or film running from the recent Get Back project /film by Peter Jackson it was Director Michael Lindsay-Hogg for sure who kept the cameras & audio running! He even hid a microphone in the cafeteria at Twickenham film studio to capture John & Paul talking about how they felt of George walking out & their relationship with each other. This is all in the Get Back documentary if you watch it. Paul I’m sure agreed to most of it too but it was Michael Hogg who was keeping it rolling for the “Let it Be” film thankfully!

It was Paul of course ,it was his idea 😊

@themole2024 Год назад

Watching Get Back I noticed how John and Paul sought each others approval. One would crack a joke and then look at the other for a giggly response. They were still really kids in many ways. I cannot easily put my finger on why The Beatles were so special, but they definitely were.

Yes agreed. A good way to compare them is to listen to 'anytime at all' beatles song. John sings the chorus first and then Paul. You can then compare the voices in a rock song 'like for like'. I played it for my wife and asked which she preferred. She answered John which is my favourite too..

On the 9th of December 1980, a Beatles tribute act was booked to play in a local dance venue and we went and saw them (we had planned to go weeks before). The night was down but good, they were brilliant, covering most of the Beatles career in 3 acts (Cavern - 4 Sale / Rubber Soul - Mystery Tour / White album - Abbey Road) with a long encore as the band didnt want to stop playing. The Encore was the guys basically in street clothes doing songs from the solo careers after they split (so we got Photograph, My Sweet Lord, Imagine, Junior's Farm etc). For the final song of the night, they said they were going to do something different and the guy who had played John Lennon, sat at the piano and then the band did Let it Be with Lennon on vocals. The band ended up in tears, as did the crowd. Everyone stopped dancing and just stood and listened and thought about what had happened the day before. It was an emotional way to end a gig ... I knew the drummer in the band and he told me years later that it was the only night that they ended the show that way. It was special.

Most of the pictures and videos I had seen of George using his Stratocaster are from the Sergeant Pepper/Magical Mystery Tour era. Has anyone seen any pictures of George with his stratocaster in its original finish before it was repainted? I have read that it had a sonic blue finish before being repainted in a psychedelic rainbow, and that it was one of two matching ones that he and John Lennon got in 1965. I have seen pictures of John Lennon with his sonic blue stratocaster, but I have never seen George with his until after it received the psychedelic paint job.

The video with John singing Let It Be and Paul’s version of Let It Be made me cried as a Beatles Fan! 🥰

@BiffGrelch Год назад

John- "should I sing it this time?" Everyone else in the world- " no. Please for the love of all that is holy, let it be"

@slaphead8835 Год назад

This was cool as hell. I’m so glad they were able to isolate John’s vocals.

@johnpress Год назад

So glad Paul sang that.

@thecommission6662 Год назад

Paul was always going to sing it.

The two mums of John and Paul. Beautiful, mysterious, ghost like, from another era, how they missed their incredible talent and fortune with their demise.

@mattwilson5969 Год назад

Thank you for this. I wish John and Paul sang each others songs while in the Beatles and recorded it. They could release an album evey decade for the next 100 years and pretty much be guaranteed a number one. Imagine the album help, for example, was released with Paul singing Help and John singing yesterday etc.

my wife and i are fortunate to have drank in The Cavern since 1969. it's nice to here different versions thanks.

@fredthejunkman Год назад

Very cool. Would love to have heard a polished version with Lennon singing lead.

No one had ever done like the Beatles,truly.

Coolest thing about the Beatles' session tapes is hearing them sing each other's tunes.

@almostbeatlessongs Год назад

Yeah!

@IagoRodriguezDopico Год назад

Love john's raw take on it, you can feel he takes the lyrics to heart. Hey, in a parallel universe all of John's songs are sung by Paul and viceversa.

@fabricio-lugao 6 месяцев назад

john and paul were looking for each other's approval because deep down, egos aside, they were each other's fans and knew that if their partner liked the music, it was good. Of course there was a competition, but it was healthy, the “music” won. The fact that they created the credits "Lennon/McCartney" meant that they did not cross the healthy barrier. PS: It's great to see them having fun playing together

@almostbeatlessongs 6 месяцев назад

Yes!

@fugomaye396 Год назад

As a Beatle fan; I can't wait for the day they release another bounch of new footage and new rehearsal versions in exceptional quality as "Get Back" documentary !!

Super thanks for this!! Totally love this!

@almostbeatlessongs 2 месяца назад

You're so welcome!

@basilrose Год назад

I'm hearing John doing a kind of guide vocal in their love language, suggesting musical ideas for Paul to use in his lead vocal :)

@almostbeatlessongs Год назад

Exactly!

@burantoriikyaroru5330 Год назад

exactly what I needed to hear in this time and space, thank you

@candidoj Год назад

They should produce this for an official release ! Like in the anthology releases. If well produced, the end result can be amazing. Perhaps in a duet with the actual Paul Mccartney !

It's weird watching this and knowing that it was filmed 54 years ago. It is almost as if it is being broadcast from a studio down the road. Sometimes I wish we had the power to step right into a film clip, spend a couple of hours visiting and then come right back again. I said to Paul and John, Hey: I've travelled here from the year 2023 and that is when Paul and John sang to me why don't you just GET BACK to where you once belong.

@dixgun Год назад

What a find. Thanks for posting it. Will we ever hear John’s version of ‘Goodnight’ that Ringo has praised so much?

@almostbeatlessongs Год назад

Have u heard White Album deluxe? There's some interesting takes of "Goodnight."

@jamieharper2554 Год назад

There's tonnes of footage or incidences of them each singing each others stuff... which is actually both their stuff anyway as they added loads to each others songs!

@davidwilson7042 Год назад

Thank you for sharing this. Very good to hear. One thing, if I may, to point out. John isn't playing a guitar. He's playing a Fender six string bass. They were popular in the mid to late sixties.

@almostbeatlessongs Год назад

You're right. At least the day is correct. Thanks for watching.

@almostbeatlessongs Год назад

At first, we also thought it was George on rhythm, but you can also hear him playing lead over the strumming parts.

@almostbeatlessongs Год назад

Also check out 0:30. Is it possible John is strumming power chords on the bass while George plays on top?

@jakollee Год назад

@@almostbeatlessongs Then who is strumming the chords, if John is on bass and George is playing lead? (By the way, you can see George playing rhythm guitar at the end, from 4:41 to 4:47).

@jakollee Год назад

@@almostbeatlessongs Hmm, maybe, but it sounds more like a guitar being strummed than a bass, even a 6-string bass! I do hear the lead guitar parts too, which presumably is George. Very confusing! At least we can all agree it's John singing on this take!
