The fans were going to the shows and just screaming their heads off and not even listening to the music. not to mention even the Revolver/Rubber Soul-era stuff was getting harder to reproduce on stage. It wasn't just "yeah, yeah, yeah" anymore. The harmonies alone on Paperback Writer were virtually impossible to hear live. I wanted to say something about this but don't know enough about music to do it intelligently. I saw something somewhere how the tracks where laid down on alot of their music, sometimes with dozens of musicians. Also how John and Paul sang multiple tracks and then they were put together. Its beyond me but I know it cant be reproduced live.

Right on the head. They started with "I Wanna Hold Your Hand", a song they could sing on Ed Sullivan. Where they went was nothing short of genius.

I don't have to read about this, I lived thru it. I saw it happen. Don't give me a history lesson and for sure don't give me a music lesson.You sound like an idiot. Let it go.
