    I get it - and recall seeing that on TV.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    In fact attended a rather small unplugged concert here the following summer = 1991. 

    Bet it was a BAAANG of a concert. Here's the set list  >

    OK, I asked the wife and she couldn't remember either. She bought a t shirt at that concert and looked. It was called the" World Tour in 1990." The shirt has the band names of all that were in it. but I didn't read them all,  You can look them up if you want their names. Like I said, this concert that year was in Ames Iowa.  It was the first time we saw Paul. Deb was going to see the Beatles together before I even knew her but she broke her foot and her parents wouldn't let her go.  I know her dad died in a plane crash when she was 13.  But I don't remember when she broke her foot.

    No,  It was just him, (McCartney and Linda) with a band.  I'm 70 now and can't remember dates, or what year we saw them.  I do remember that the concert was for some Anniversary we celebrated and it was at the other house we were at at the time. We've been at this house for around 28 years but I couldn't tell you how long we were at the other one.  (I had a brain tumor cancer  way back in 88, that screwed up my memory.  Sorry.

    All okay 🙂 but you may remember Wings was the name of the band Paul & Linda travelled with way back. I don't think McCartney toured or played US before 1976 - the same show I saw here in Europe a few months before.

                                                                                                                               Never mind - we share good memories. .

    I did the usual costumes (Frankenstein and other monsters, etc.), but one time I think I actually put on my suit, the appropriate mask and masqueraded as Richard Nixon.  This would have been while I was 8-12 years old and he was in office.  I had a warped sense of humor even at that age.  Can’t remember wearing a costume during my adult years.

    It scenes like this I'd like to see pictures from - invaluable, , , on 2 or 3 levels. .

    Dealing with annoying Vocal Plosives on Recordings is not new.. With todays sophisticated technologies as seen in the one of many Videos I posted, it's even better than it ever has been.. Even for Guys like us..

    Leaving them on Beatles Remixes & Re-Masters shouldn't exist.. Particularly when they weren't noticeable on the Original Records...

    I'll have to check that track ^

    I hate when that happens.

    Just place yourself in an armchair and drift along, , , write a tune while flowing.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     Well, guess you know that formula. .

    No,  the analogy is not a step too far.

    👍  I think the Beatles camp plus Giles Martin and his staff know how sensitive this is. It a tightrope walk between bein' loyal to the old magic / historical document and updating it by adding tine bits and pieces here there and everywhere. . 

    What the future will bring is hard to predict. But in many years to come the heritage will be taken care of by good responsible people :  Dhani, Julian, Sean and the Starkeys'n'McCartneys. The kids !

    Like many in here, I’ve owned too many guitars to remember.   I currently have 6-7 that I really have bonded with and a few others that just sit in their cases or hang on the wall.  Don’t know if I own the guitars or if they own me.  I just know that I’m driven to play them at what ever level I can.  I feel that my guitars are a real extension of who I am as a person.  Playing them helps me pass the time, get myself out of an “old dude” funk, makes me try to teach this old dog a new trick, gets my creative juices flowing when I’m writing.   I just feel better about life when I’m playing my guitars.  Perhaps the emotional attachment means that they own me.  They’ve introduced me to a lot of very nice people and they contribute to making me a better and happier person.  So, whatever the facts are, I’m just glad I’m playing.

    I sense a good balance there. It was never undermined by the videos you sat up over the years. .

    Such a difficult topic to put a finger on . . . Not a chance to be a "which came first ? " question. . . there's such an interplay between so many things- not just the guitar, the singer, or the song. Or even the moment (the times).  Songs come to be through so many routes- to express a sound, a story, or emotion, or to evoke a mood. Lars68's clip at t = 36:30> showed how songs can be inspired by not just a guitar's sound, but by some signal processing, as well. And on top of that, people will hear into it what they want to hear. 

    Yes, when really X-raying the process of songwriting in a broader even 'full' perspective, everything must be considered and counted in, , ,                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                like the weather or the war or the hue of your neighbors bird*.                                                                                                                                                                                                   A bit easier to get around it when cooking things down to the man'n'machine aspect.

    There is an interesting discussion in the video below about the very topic of this thread starting at the 36:30 minute mark and reappearing several times in the video from that point on.

    Wow - never saw that, , , but absolutely know Marr and the Smiths. Bought their first records when they came out almost 40 years ago and found them very refreshing. 

    Good post, 68 ^

    Just as good, , , and perhaps 'better' via an updated frame of mind. 

    Most of us know re-mixing the icons is like goin' in changing details on a Van Gogh or so. 


    Ahh, Vincent could have used a slightly warmer turquoise there, let's fix that.

    Pablo would have been better off with zink-white than a titanium-ditto - we'll look into it.

    I firmly believe there is a nicer table-cloth-yellow under the one Henry ended up choosing. We'll scrape it forward.

    Ouh, shouldn't Salvador have  made those burning camels stand purple against the sunset, not brown-red  😱 

    Shouldn't the emoji-makers have coloured the upper half of Munch's 'Skriget' green, , , like a toxic headache, not blue. .

    I do not remember horns on Hey Jude.

    Okay, but you didn't remember much horn anywhere.                                                                                                                                                                                                                 We'll have to dive down the outro anthem - there is a massive of various players unfolding there. . 

  15. The one approx 10 years ago when I wore no costume, but claimed to a group of dressed up kids at my street-door I did.                                                                                                                                                                  "Can't you see my disguise ?", I asked. And they eagerly answered, "a beggar, a drunkard, a poor. . . ", till the grown up they were with had to edit them.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           Hilarious, , , and I certainly asked for it. . 

     

    As a kid I was an Indian, a pirate, a vagabond, an under sheet-ghost. All characters that never seemed to leave and thus are carried with me today. . .

    I was listening to one of the newer Re-Mixes of “Got To Get You Into My Life” on Sirius yesterday.. The Plosives were off the chart! So much so I had to change the Station.. And I really LIKE that Song..

    I own most of the newer Re Masters & Re Mixes & like most of them.. But, the original Records were done so great that most of the time I go back to them if I want to hear their perfect Recordings.. So much care was especially taken to the Mono Recordings. The EQ, Compression, De Essing, Levels, Balance & FX.. They’re the best.. 

    A true fundamentalist has spoken - respect.                                                                                                                                                                                                                               Personally I like the 09-remasterings and have the CD-box - the black in stereo.                                                                                                          Remember we (4 guys) A/B'ed the M/S when they came out. Each person randomly picked 2-3 tracks.                                                                                                                                                                 To me there was no doubt - S won. But 1 member bought the white M.

                              The new mixes are scientifically intereztinnng - reveals stuff sometimes suggest things as well. .

    Like, you bringing the guitar lots of joy?

    Dig it.

    I yell at mine all the time telling them to "WAKE UP"....

    \:D/

    Yea, sure - U know a guitar ain't much of a guitar if not played - like a song is very very silent if never sung. The sleeping depressed garage car becomes something else.                                                                                                                                              And the beautifully convex naked woman is almost invisible in the tower chamber of the dark cold mountain monastery. . .
