Jay 37,352 Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 The Beatles live album "The Beatles At The Hollywood Bowl", which combined performances recorded in August 1964 and August 1965, has been remixed and remastered and expanded to include 4 new songs, when Capitol Studios discovered long-lost 3-track tapes in their archives. The album (now called "Live At The Hollywood Bowl") is out on CD today and its also on Spotify https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01IO7OHTU Naïve Old Fart 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naïve Old Fart 9,516 Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 PF can release as much early stuff as they want, but I just heard a 30-second sample of TWIST AND SHOUT, that shits on it all...from a very, very great height. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Signifying everything that was wrong with 80's rock. Of course it's an awful song, but...somehow insane fun. 'We Built This City' was the second 7" single I ever bought ... the first was John Parr's 'St Elmo's Fire', doubtless another that could be held up as an example of all that was wrong with 80's rock.

A24 4,331 Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 God no! Like I said, Anderson created a very unique universe with Olias which evokes flying ships and floating rocks. It's his best solo album. One can even hear it's Anderson while still in his Relayer phase, even though the instrumentation is very, very different.

The album (now called "Live At The Hollywood Bowl") is out on CD today and its also on Spotify https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01IO7OHTU OK i just finished my first listen. I enjoyed it a lot! It's my first experience hearing live Beatles (other than the rooftop concert stuff integrated into the Let It Be album). Their performance was rip-roaring, full of energy and hardly ever slowing down. The biggest fault is the incredibly loud crowd noise, which persists throughout and is especially loud between every track. Too bad there was nothing they could do about that! And then the next fault is the 4 bonus tracks, they kind of stick out in a weird way appearing after the main program. They should have been integrated into the flow of the concert instead. Overall though, a very fun listen! Bilbo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
