Beatles - "Act Naturally" at Shea restored!

FACT: The Beatles went back into the studio to record overdubs for their "Shea Stadium" TV show. This was to correct some of their, well "less than perfect" performances. One of the most glaring examples is their rendition of "Act Naturally".

When it appreared on documentary, the vinyl version of the song was simply overdubbed onto the film!

But here is the raw audio tape restored to the original film!

Ringo is Awsome!

[upbomb]

When I first heard this song I said "That's definitely Ringo" and all the lads were like "No, it's not and that's final. He can't sing." so I did kind of doubt it. And now I find out that it WAS actually him. Well, they just got owned in the faces.

And Ringo is by far me favourite Beatle and I'm so happy he's still alive, just like Paul. Long live Ringo and Paul, R.I.P. George and John =(

Did theyre is a dvd for this one ?

@dougalmac54 I don't need to hear someone else's opinion to form my own. The guitar licks on most Beatle songs were mediocre melodies. (Luther Perkins of Johnny Cash's Tennessee Two had more distinctive and iconic guitar licks) His most memorable licks are probable Day Tripper or Birthday, I mean John's lead on Get Back was as good or better than anything I can remember George doing.

@bluegsp If you heard people like Clapton describe George's lead quitar playing, you'd think differently.

great song

@Rawego Ringo said once he had to try to see in which part of the song they were by watching their wiggling butts... I bet a lot of people would have done that too but not because they didn't know anymore in which part of the song they were. *cough*

@MOSKII58 I would add ACDC. They have tons of killer riffs. Definitely, I would add them.

@bluegsp led zep & Jimmy Page are the kings of the rock guitar riff.. i can't think of any rock band that has more cool rock "classic riffs then Zep.. Day tripper was a great beatle riff i must add..and i feel fine..

I bet he is the best at devil sticks and breaking glass with his voice

@cooltooth112 I am not "thin-skinned", You were patronizing and insulting so I corrected your false assumption. When I think of bands known for their guitar riffs of that period, I think of Cream, Jeff Beck, Frank Zappa, Pink Floyd and The Doors, not the Beatles. The 2 songs that you gave as examples provide more of a melody line rather than impressive guitar licks.  Don't get me wrong, The Beatles were a great band and deserve every accolade, but hot lead guitar is not one of them.

@bluegsp A bit sensitive over an innocent assumption and yes I am 55 years old and I was Beatle freak like everyone else in that time period. You may have missed the fanatical stage of the Beatles. So we grew up in different musical periods, but I believe everyone will tell you that the Beatles were known for their lead riffs in every song, like Day Tripper, Paperback Writer, the list goes on . Those of us that played guitar tried to learn them all. Don't be so thin-skinned, it's no big deal.
