1968-12: Yer Blues version in a Rolling Stones TV show?

Yes. And a show that did not air (until 1996). And with Clapton, Keith Richards and the Jimi Hendrix drummer.

Interesting...

2014: Paul McCartney Shares Version of 'Beware My Love' With John Bonham on Drums

Wow, always learning, details of Bonham version here: 

Paul McCartney Shares Version of 'Beware My Love' With John Bonham on Drums

The original album version was 6 minutes long and featured Wings regular drummer at the time. 

Hear it here:

https://twitter.com/PaulMcCartney/status/524270739915292672

or here: https://open.spotify.com/track/2UXyWjLEdHORhU41Re5jKJ?si=cced7a3907b04482 

Quoting: 

"During a live chat on Twitter earlier today, Paul McCartney shared a previously unreleased version of the 1976 song 'Beware My Love' featuring John Bonham on drums. The song comes from the upcoming expanded reissue of the No. 1 Wings album 'Wings at the Speed of Sound.'

'Beware My Love' was one of the few true rock songs on an album filled with lighter pop tunes, like the hits 'Let 'Em In' and 'Silly Love Songs.' The original version runs six and a half minutes and includes Wings drummer Joe English on the kit. The previously unreleased take is a minute shorter and, more importantly, features the Led Zeppelin wild man."

Some extracts (62 videos), probably from Let it Be sessions, presumably remastered:

The story of the Rock'n"roll album...

... from John Lennon (and Phil Spector):

https://faroutmagazine-co-uk.cdn.ampproject.org/v/s/faroutmagazine.co.uk/john-lennon-rock-n-roll-covers-album-story/amp/

Quoting:

"Naturally, the sessions turned into pure riotous and ramshackle events, with one particular moment seeing Lennon tipped over the edge. It comes as Moon, notorious in his own way, was found to have peed all over the console Lennon was working on. To make matters worse, Spector was also taking the master tapes home with him every night, proving his eccentricities were beginning to show — he even discharged a weapon during a session, damaging Lennon’s ear. The Beatles man recalled how taking the master tapes nearly derailed the entire album: “One day when he didn’t want to work, one night he called me, he said the studio had been burnt down. Now, these… in the early days I didn’t know about it, you know, didn’t know how far away he was. So I said, ‘Oh the studio’s burnt down.’ So anyway a couple of hours passed… the studio’s burnt down… So I get somebody to call the studio, it hadn’t been burnt down. That was the Sunday, the following Sunday he calls and he says on the phone, ‘Hey Johnny’… I said, ‘Oh there you are, Phil, what happened? We’re supposed to be doing a session.’ — [he says] ‘I got the John Dean tapes.’ I say, ‘what?’ ‘I got the John Dean tapes…’ What he was telling me, in his own sweet way, was he had my tapes, not the John Dean Watergate tapes, he had my tapes locked in the cellar behind the barbed wire and the Afghan dogs and the machine guns.

“So there was no way you could get them. So that album was stopped in the middle for a year, and we had to sue through Capitol to get them back off him.” It put the singer over the edge and he abandoned his sessions with Spector in favour of working on his own on the East Coast.

Returning to New York alongside May Pang, Lennon became distracted by the covers album and instead wrote and recorded Walls and Bridges. It could have been some light relief for Lennon but soon enough, his adversary Morris Levy was back again with a brand new lawsuit, this time threatening to take Lennon to court unless he delivered the record he had seemingly reneged on. Lennon even used 11-year-old Julian Lennon to make a slight jibe at Levy in the final moment of Walls and Bridges."

2021-02: Ring O and Ringo?

Lawyers defending Ringo in sexual issues :)

https://www.express.co.uk/entertainment/music/1399179/ringo-starr-the-beatles-copyright-trademark-richard-starkey-pacific-coast-holdings-evg

Quoting:

"Sir Ringo Starr, it has been uncovered, is currently opposing the trademark of the name Ring O for a sexual aid.

Pacific Coast Holdings IP, LLC, the parent company of Screaming O, have put forward their desire to trademark the name Ring O for a vibrating penis ring, which they have marketed under that name since 2008.

They accused Sir Ringo of being a ‘trademark squatter’ as he attempted to oppose their trademark, as well as suggesting their customers would not be of the generation to connect the item with the Beatle.

Sir Ringo’s legal team, in contrast, claim Pacific Coast Holdings broke their agreement, which allowed them to use the name so long as they never attempted to trademark it."

Wonders of youtube: A bootleg of Brian May, one of the greatest guitarists of all (I mean ALL) times, talking kindly of George Harrison and playing an impeccable almost acoustic version of Something:

Genius, even when he screws up in the main solo and smiles in the end. Like most of us would.

Don't know the year, the concert, etc. but anyway... 

2021-02: Yoko Ono, George Harrison and... biscuits?

During the official GH IG account happy birthday to Yoko Ono who recently most of the comments there were regarding biscuits. I found some explanation on this here:

https://www.quora.com/George-Harrison-had-very-little-good-to-say-about-Yoko-Ono-What-were-the-incidents-that-led-to-this

Quoting (one of the answers):

"During the Abbey Road sessions, John and Yoko were away during part of the recording because John crashed his car and they had to be hospitalized. When John returned, he had a bed placed in the studio for Yoko who claimed she was still recuperating. The often told story about Yoko getting up to take George’s biscuits that he kept on his amp and George erupting in anger, was not about her taking his biscuit, but that it was clear evidence that she was not really bedridden and having a bed in the studio was just her being manipulative and demanding."

Always learning, all these years after. :)

2021-01: Casa de capa de Sgt. Pepper's à venda...

... convertida em residência, baratinha:

Citando:

"The former artist's studio located on Flood Street in London has been converted into a modern plan residence consisting of two bedrooms, a bathroom, an open plan kitchen and reception room set over two floors.

Chelsea Manor Studios opened in 1902 and has been used by several artists, photographers and writers including Norman Parkinson and Graham Sutherland.

The most famous photo session to take place in Chelsea Manor Studios was on March 30, 1967, when the Beatles had their picture taken for the ground-breaking album cover of 'Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band' by photographer Michael Cooper."

Citando:

"The Beatles are pictured performing in Exeter. The Liverpudlian band first performed at the ABC as the support act to Tommy Roe and Chris Montez on March 28, 1963, when they performed Love Me Do, Do You Want to Know A Secret, Please, Please Me, I Saw Her Standing There and Taste of Honey. Part of this show was recorded for BBC 2's 'On the Scene'. As they quickly became popular they performed in Exeter again on November 14, 1963. It is not known if this picture was March or November"

2021-02: Paul McCartney nos Simpsons...

George Harrison também apareceu, detalhes aqui:

https://youtu.be/vP5tM6t0IAM

Citando:

"‘Lisa The Vegetarian’ would go down as a stone-cold Simpsons classic episode that featured the hilarious ‘You Don’t Win Friends With Salad’ song and Homer’s disbelief that ham, bacon and pork came from the same ‘magical animal’, on top of the McCartney cameo. It would go on to become the deserved recipient of two awards, an Environmental Media Award and a Genesis Award, for highlighting environmental and animal issues, respectively.

“We were a bit worried that she would be a vegetarian for a week, then Homer would persuade her to eat a hot dog,” McCartney has since told GQ magazine. “The producers of the programme assured us that she would remain that way, and they kept their word,” Macca added."

George Harrison prank on Phil Collins

An account of a funny story I had already heard about, occurred on the occasion of remastering of the triple album "All Things Must Pass":

https://www.good.is/amp/phil-collins-george-harrison-prank-song-2650436438

Quoting:

"Collins was devastated, to say the least.

A while later, Stewart calls Collins and puts Harrison on the line. "'Did you get the tape?' Harrison asked. "I now realize I was fired by a Beatle," Collins sighed. The two changed the subject, but a few minutes later, Harrison couldn't stop laughing.

"Don't worry, it was a piss-take. I got Ray Cooper to play really badly and we dubbed it on," Harrison admitted. "Thought you'd like it!" So, Harrison had an entire recording session with a conga player who he asked to play poorly, just to pull one over on Collins."
