We are back after a hiatus to discuss the new release of the "One to One" concert from 1972 featuring John Lennon, Yoko Ono, and Elephant's Memory. This concert appears in a beautifully remixed version that substantially improves over the 1986 John Lennon: Live in New York City release. But how does the concert hold up all these years later, and what about the set list, performances, and political messaging? We dig into all of it! Because only the concert was available on streaming (as of the time of recording), we do not discuss the other parts of the Power to the People box set, but we plan to do that as discs get released over the next few months.

We take a break from all the news to look at an album that sometimes gets overlooked in the Beatles canon: 1965's Help! It's not just a movie, but a great listening experience as an album (the UK version, in particular). We talk about the album, all the songs, its lyrical themes, its place in the Beatles' output, and what it foreshadows for future albums. Enjoy!

Dave and Chris go back into the lab to discuss a quirky, satirical song about the copyright lawsuit leveled against George Harrison in 1976 called "This Song." As always, we discuss the musical arrangement, the lyrics, the musical allusions, and the witty lyrics. And make sure you watch the accompanying video to see some "guest stars" you might recognize!:

At the suggestion of a listener, we rank Paul McCartney’s officially released live albums—that is, no video-only releases, bootlegs, or unofficial recordings. We explore the pros and cons of live albums in general, how Paul assembles them, the bands he’s played with, and the song choices for each release. We also share some ideas for future re-releases we’d love to see. As always, we wrap up with the latest news (and noting the passing of Brian Wilson and Sly Stone) as of our recording date and some listener feedback.
(Ignore the report about James McCartney's "wedding" - it was an AI bot story)

Thank you for helping us reach 250 episodes! To celebrate, we're finally diving into one of our most requested albums: Back to the Egg by Paul McCartney and Wings, released in 1979. Long overlooked and still awaiting a super deluxe reissue—alongside London Town—this record has become a fan favorite in recent years.
But is it a hidden gem or rightfully criticized? Does it deserve a reappraisal, and why hasn't it been re-released since its 1993 "remaster?" We explore all this and more, including a full track-by-track breakdown. As always, we wrap up with the latest Beatles news.
Here is Chris's "Scrambled Egg" song reordering of the album.
Check out Chris's recent interview appearance with Thomas Gouker and Brooke Halpin!

As usual, we discuss the lyrics, the context, the music, and cover versions. Which song do we like better? Which one works better in context on their respective albums? Are there any interesting cover versions of such personal songs?

Apart from Yoko Ono, probably no other figure in the Beatles story is as divisive and hated as much as Allen Klein. Klein was brought into clean up the business disaster that was Apple, and to get a better contract and more money for the Beatles. After his work with Sam Cooke, The Rolling Stones, and others, the Beatles gave Klein a chance to improve their finances in 1969-70, with agreements that lasted for the next several years. In this episode, we dig into the background of Allen Klein, his rise to prominence, his work with The Rolling Stones, and of course shine an extensive light on his rise and fall with the Beatles as a group and as solo artists. Is he really the villain we've been led to believe he was? Or did he do some good things for the group? Listen and find out!

In this episode, we explore an early European gig the Beatles played in Stockholm, Sweden, on October 30, 1963. Their appearance on the TV show Drop In marked the final stop of their first Scandinavian tour. Unlike the frenzied crowds they would soon face, the audience was remarkably well-behaved, allowing the band’s performance to shine. The Beatles themselves seemed to be having a great time, and thanks to George’s faintly mic’d guitar, John’s rhythm playing comes through more clearly than ever. These performances highlight intricate musical details across the four songs they played. Watching the footage (link here) makes you wish there were more performances without screaming!
We finish with some of the latest Beatles news.

Jump into this episode where we do a fully-detailed analysis and deep dive of the 1978 movie Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band starring Peter Frampton and The Bee Gees, among *numerous* other guest stars of the day like George Burns and Steve Martin. Often deemed one of the worst films of all time, we talk about the absolutely idiotic plot, the terrible acting, some of the awful covers, a few of the good ones, what the movie did to the careers of the stars, and so much more. We leave no stone unturned in this analysis!

In this episode, we talk about the title song of Paul McCartney's 1983 album Pipes of Peace. In addition to our usual discussion of lyrics and music, we talk about the powerful video that accompanied the song starring two "Pauls" (a German and English one!). This was Paul's last #1 in Britain -- does it live up to that reputation all these years later? And as always, we get into the myriad cover versions as well. Here's a list:

For our last episode of 2024 (and released on the day the Beatles were officially disbanded 50 years ago!), Dave interviews Chip Madinger, co-author of Eight Arms to Hold You and Lennonology, about all the events in the Beatles world in 1974. They talk about John's "Lost Weekend," Walls and Bridges, Paul and Wings in their new incarnation, Ringo's album Goodnight Vienna, and George Harrison's North American tour and Dark Horse. In many ways, this was the last year when all four Beatles were really active.

We've made it to the end of another year! One of our yearly traditions is reviewing all the Beatle events in the course of a year, as well as discussing all the releases (music, merchandise, books) across the Beatles universe from 2024. And we always enjoy playing "how much does this item cost," where Chris asks Dave to guess the cost of various Beatles-related items.

In this episode, we discuss a true Beatles friend, drummer Jim Keltner. The session drummer was a mainstay on Beatles solo albums and performances/tours from John, George, and Ringo in the 1970s, as well as being a member of the Traveling Wilburys. Keltner also played with about everyone in the business, ranging from Gary Lewis and the Playboys to Lana Del Rey, and being one of the most-recorded drummers in music history. Here is a playlist that give you an overview of his work.
We also give you the latest Beatles news, including news on Ringo's new album and a film by Martin Scorsese.

In this episode, we talk about one of the songs featured on the Beatles' penultimate single as the B-side of "Let it Be" : "You Know My Name (Look Up The Number)." Known as one of the group's quirkiest tunes, we talk about the production that took place over two different years, the music that works like a theme and variations, the ska section that was excised from the final version, and of course all the silly voices and sounds on the song. Oh, and a member of the Rolling Stones who played the sax solo too. Give it another listen if you haven't heard it in a while!
We also talk about some recent Beatles news including the upcoming Capitol mono vinyl set, the Living in the Material World deluxe set, and more. Enjoy!

The Beatles: Live at the BBC was released in 1994. The album contained 50+ tracks from some of the 50+ programs the Beatles played on for the BBC during 1962-65. The album was a big hit, selling over 8 million copies, and it was a particular favorite for Dave and Chris who waited in line at a Best Buy in Champaign-Urbana, IL to buy it and get a free poster! We talk about the album, choose our top 10 songs from the album, choose some of the songs that didn't work very well (usually because of the sound quality), and much more. If you haven't pulled out the album in years, now would be a great time to do so! It was also remastered in 2013, so you could get that version as well.

We're back from our summer break with our deep dive into the remix/super deluxe release of John Lennon's 1973 album Mind Games that came out last month. We've never discussed the actual album before, so we begin with a full track-by-track, keeping in mind the current remixing. We then talk about each of the remaining discs, evaluate the content, and hear some listener responses to the album's reissue. We hope you enjoy our lengthier discussion about this set and Mind Games in the context of John Lennon's solo music.

In this episode, we dig into one of the most famous Beatles gigs, the "Royal Variety Performance" in London on November 4, 1963. This was the gig where John Lennon said his famous lines asking the Royals to "rattle [their] jewelry." We go into the background behind the performance, discuss the other performers (the Beatles were the seventh act on the show!), and analyze the four songs the Beatles played.
Here's the performance.
We also discuss One Hand Clapping a bit as a preview for our next episode, and answer some listener questions. Thanks for listening!

And then Chris shares a rant about Record Store Day, and we catch up on all the latest Beatles-related releases.

Is it Paul's best album?

In this episode, Dave and Chris discuss the 2021 film The Beatles and India. This is a documentary that's just about what it says -- how the Beatles' connections to India began, developed, and ended. Along the way, you'll hear from pundits like Mark Lewisohn and Steve Turner, Patti Boyd, and many others who were in Rishikesh when the Beatles stayed there in 1968. We also discuss one of the most significant revelations the movie points out regarding why the Beatles left India. We think the movie is well worth a watch.

What would've happened if the Beatles reunited to make an album in 1973 based on the four albums recorded that year? We draw from Mind Games, Band on the Run, Living in the Material World, and Ringo to compile a 12-track album that we think would be even better if all four Beatles played and contributed to the songs. Chris and Dave both had different approaches to their album construction, but they both work well as listens. If only that had happened...
Dave's album: Band on the Run, Jet, Photograph, Out The Blue, Don't Let Me Wait Too Long, I'm The Greatest, Give Me Love (Give Me Peace on Earth), Mind Games, Bluebird, Bring on the Lucie (Freeda People), Who Can See It, and 1985.
Chris's album: I'm the Greatest, Band on the Run, Sue You Sue Me Blues, Mind Games, Photograph, Let Me Roll It, One Day at a Time, Give Me Love, Bluebird, Be Here Now, I Know I Know, 1985
