2017-06-06: PM e Stevie Wonder no top com EaI (35 anos)

http://ultimateclassicrock.com/paul-mccartney-stevie-wonder-ebony-and-ivory/

Citando:
"The song in question, “Ebony and Ivory,” was demoed in late 1980 and developed during the sessions for McCartney’s third solo album, 1982’s Tug of War. With lyrics using the piano as a metaphor for ideal race relations, the song seemed like a natural for the duet treatment — and McCartney immediately knew who he wanted for a partner. “I wanted to sing it with a black guy,” he later recalled. “And my first thought was Stevie.”

Phoned by McCartney, Wonder quickly agreed. “I listened to the song, and I liked it very much,” said Wonder. “I felt it was positive for everybody. I won’t say it demanded of people to reflect upon it, but it politely asks the people to reflect upon life in using the terms of music … this melting pot of many different people.”

The duo convened at AIR Studios in Montserrat under the guidance of producer George Martin, who helmed the Tug of War sessions, and cut a pair of duets for the record — “What’s That You’re Doing?” and “Ebony and Ivory,” which would make its way to radio in late March as the album’s lead single. (Though McCartney and Wonder recorded in person, their schedules kept them from filming the “Ebony and Ivory” video together — they had to be spliced into the frame via editing magic.)"

Lembro-me deste dia (em 1980) como se fosse hoje.

O The Star fez um artigo sobre os Beatles e as 5 vezes que tocaram em Doncaster, com fotos interessantes (assinaturas no livro do Regent hotel, fotos dos concertos, ...):

O Observer fez um artigo sobre como os Beatles colonizaram os EUA e modificaram a forma de se fazer música (até lá):

2015-11-23: Guitarras dos Beatles na Guitar World

Os Beatles aparecem na Guitar World (Holidays 2015, US), capa e lombada.
O artigo de várias páginas fala das guitarras mais usadas pelos Beatles, nomeadamente as Epiphone Casino, guitarras não muito caras que foram muito usadas.
Artigo muito completo em termos da história dos instrumentos em si, quando os compraram, aonde os usaram (ao vivo e no estúdio) e com umas belas fotos de conjunto dos mesmos.
Vale a pena ler.

Steve Howe (Yes) fez referência aos Beatles por causa da meditação que ainda hoje pratica:

A entrevista em si é muito interessante (trata-se de um dos maiores génios da guitarra com 17 álbuns a solo - para além dos que editou com os Yes e os Asia).

2013-10-05: Yellow Submarine e Jesus na Antena 1

Passou início de "Yellow Submarine" na Antena 1 perto das 10:00 no programa "A Vida dos Sons".

Retrospectiva de 1966 em que se referiu que os Beatles começam a gravar o álbum Sgt. Pepper's e que em Agosto nos Estados Unidos os Beatles passam um mau bocado por causa das declarações que Lennon fez a um amigo (palavras dele) sobre Jesus.

A referência termina com o audio da frase:
"I just said what I said, and it is wrong."
