Beatles "Live at the Hollywood Bowl" out on CD 9/9/16, Vinyl on 11/18/16 *

Saw it in Target. Figured what the heck. Played the LP once in 30 years. CD will now join it collecting dust on the shelf.

 

Almost every live CD that I purchase, I have to rip and re-index the whole thing! Is it that tough to put the intros with the actual song? If it's long (>10sec), then make a separate track. Sheesh!

The process does, however, afford me the opportunity to also edit out long sections of crowd applause, or the band noodling around before the song. Retag and enjoy the separated songs in any set.

 

Yes

 

You are the Mazzy!

 

That bad, huh?

 

Is that Ringo?

 

They printed "Lp covers and Booklets that were complete in the Night's Pictures?" I don't understand what this means...

In any event, I don't think Capitol even designed, let alone printed, covers for the proposed 1964 live album. In fact, Bruce Spizer created his own "fantasy" artwork for one of his books in the chapter dealing with this proposed album....

 

Looks like Kenny McCormick staring down the tube.

 

You know what always happens to Kenny.

 

Streaming is 320 kb/ps or lossless even. You won't ever ever hear the difference.

 

Yup, 09/09 is release date, in 2016 that's midnight. No one buys a CD in a store any more anyway.

 

That Echo,as I stated,came from the Bowl's Famous Band Shell!

 

Its fine, I just doubt Ill ever feel compelled to play it. It does have 2 of my favorite Beatle songs on it (All My Loving and Babys In Black.).

 

Yoiks shot meself in the foot with me gunn

 

I vastly prefer intros being with the prior track. When I want to hear a song, I want to hear the damn song, not John going on about whether it is an elpee or album or the type of film stock used in the movie the song was used in. If I am listening to an album as a whole, it is more acceptable, particularly since I can just hit a button and go to the song. It also makes tracks a lot easier to play on radio.

 

Same here.

 

Went to Walmart at around 10:30 am. Not one copy! WTF?

 

So, I'm listening to the CD as I'm writing this. I haven't listened to this album in ages. Were the vocals on the original drier than the new version? It seems to me that quite a bit of echo was added to the vocals by Giles Martin. Maybe too much?

He did reduce the screaming. The drums and the guitar work are a bit more prominent. Going by memory here.

 

Been trying to find a bona fide needle drop of the 1977 release to compare this to but haven't found anything that I can verify is (easier to find bootlegs with more songs, and other various weird things) but so far it sounds much better than I remember it sounding. I once owned the vinyl long long ago. It was not remembered as a terribly fun listen but I've been enjoying this so far.

 

I'm one of the strange people who loves this album (since the early 80's)!
I think it has the best versions of Twist And Shout (short - unfortunately), She's A Woman, Dizzy Miss Lizzy, Boys, Things We Said Today and the two movie-title songs. Sorry, but... they kick @$$!!!

 

I hope you learned a lesson.

 

I did see Let It Be and 62-66.

 

Yeah. I've learned not to even bother looking for CDs in the real world anymore. Order from Amazon. It'll appear at your door in two to three days and you get the pleasant little fun of unboxing it.

Me too, bought it on the day of release back in '77. It is a fantastic representation of a live Beatle concert. To me, it has never sounded bad or muddy, the performances are excellent, and the screams add to the excitement and exhilaration. Can't understand why people talk it down, it's great.

I don't have the new release yet, but within the last year or so I bought a Japanese boot of the original album on CD and have been enjoying it very much. Looking forward to hearing the new one.

 

I have only listened so far in the car. Ringo and his drums sound great! Great fun to listen to this!
I'm bummed that nowhere near me is showing the film. I wa
But stoked I've been able, since 1965, to buy every Beatles album on it's release day!

 

I went to Best Buy at noon and there were 10 copies in the general Beatles browser bin thing. No big hoopla, no copies in the small new releases endcap, but I didn't expect any real promotion for this . It's basically just a movie soundtrack release.
