    This is just a fancy way of saying they did a lot of drugs and just happened to have a recording studio at their disposal.....case in point...Revolution 9.

    they were musically creative and ambitious before they were doing drugs. the drugs only ehanced it. and revolution 9 is an easy target. you can't come up with much more than that.

    I love it. It just is the Beatles, but produced differently. George Martin did it originally and he made it better here or at least in another way. We all know that PJ can sound different at each concert or sound different from released recordings. I really enjoyed this. :)

    i like it...makes it a bit fresh/new...but don't know if i *love* it. the sound quality, definitely superb.....but yea, maybe i am a purist...like things as is....dunno. still been listening to it like mad tho, so it's definitely a cool mix either way.
    Stay with me...

    Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying it's better, just different. Actually, maybe better in some ways, only due to advances in recording, but it will never replace the originals. What I loved I guess is just hearing the songs in a different way. Kind of like my example of how we get to hear PJ in a different way due to the live concerts. It is nice to hear a "new" Beatles and one that I think they would be proud of. :)

    sure.
    agree on all counts. it is different, and i enjoy it for being different....but still...part of me can't escape from the originals. in fact, i will say the first opening track annoys me. the long pauses...infuriating! :p also, i am so accustomed to certain tunes following others, it definitely throws me off. i do LIKE it though, and i like some of the mixing of tunes, or the layering of tunes...other music...etc. i can't stop listening to it, so that says something. eh, i just adore the beatles, no matter how you slice it. :)
    Stay with me...

    I love the album, and I hope more bands follow by putting out their music in 5.1. One thing I didn't notice that I think would be nice is to have music come out of the speakers at different times - take full advantage of 5.1 like movies.

    Does the beattles DVD do this and I missed it?

    Yep. It just means the album is produced for set-ups that have 5 speakers and a subwoofer. If you're just playing it out of a two-speaker computer, CD player, headphones, whatever... it won't make a noticeable difference.



    And in this case it's also a DVD-Audio mix which means higher resolution than standard CD, as well as Dolby or DTS can give you.

    Okay how about this gem? I'm sure they were really sober.

    As a sidenote.....

    "Happiness is a Warm Gun" is the best Beatles song ever. I love that song.

    ...or just 4 goofballs who went straight from that into "Two Of Us" on the album. Hell of a way to start an album.

    We're on the same page BinFrog, no argument here that the Beatles are anything less than the best band ever, but don't try and tell me they weren't high.

    I would never. But at that phase in their careers they weren't into studio trickery and head-on experimenting (both with music and drugs) like they were from 65-68.

    this is the album from the cirde(whatever) vegas show, right? im in vegas for a couple of weeks, may be i should go, has anyone seen it?


    sorry for lagging for so long...but i just saw it the other night and i enjoyed it. in fact i hadnt even heard about the album yet until i saw the show and came home and snatched it. the show really makes the album stand out much more vividly as a whole. it's a great performance and highly recommended. but then again, i didn't pay for it and its kinda pricey. it definitely got me into a beatles groove for the past few days..for the first time ever it caused me to really appreciate the band and learn more b/c in the past id always just been a casual listener. the closest thing ill ever come to seeing a beatles concert i guess is probably why i liked it.
