So Lennon sang both the âoutâ and the âinâ on Revolution #1? The rumor when I was a teen is that he was the mad bomber, and the other Beatles were peace-loving hippies. Now I am confused.
Holy crap, WTF keeping Billy Preston off camera in Donât Let Me Down.
I watched that with a frozen look of horror on my face.
Seriously? You never saw Let It Be?
Revolution had âcount me outâ and Revolution #1 had âcount me inâ, if I recall correctly.
A book I read years ago said that John wasnât actually sure how he felt about the whole uprising stuff happening then so he basically hedged his bets.
If you frequent Beatlefest (sorry, âThe Fest for Beatle Fansâ), youâd have seen most of these in circulation among traders for years (primarily via the âWatching Rainbowsâ collections). But agreed, itâs great to finally have them in such pristine quality.
I remember seeing the âHello, Goodbyeâ film as an intermission piece at (of all places) a drive-in theater in the summer of â68. My siblings and I pretty much squealed with delight when the song started and we saw the Beatles IN THEIR FREAKINâ SGT. PEPPER UNIFORMS, and I recall that my sisters nearly passed out when Ringo started in on the âhead-shakeâ thing.
I would be interested to know about other places where Fellow Mutants might have seen these films (in film form) when they were first released.
The version on the White Album, Revolution #1, actually says âyou can count me outâ immediately followed by âin,â so in that version, he basically says both.
Only 8 comments after 2 days? Has Beatlemania finally died? (Eyes beginning to fill)
Speaking as someone who was 15 yrs old in 1963 and knocked sideways by their joyful entry into my adolescent world of existential misery I am going to enter a darkened room and watch the Beatles #1 blu-ray and weep for my lost youth and the possibility that Justin Bieber will be this yearâs UK Christmas #1 record. (Ha! I said ârecord!â Oh the bitter irony!)
