I heard they never played a revolver song live. Is this true?

@Vitally14

Hi :)

Yes, that is true.

[Vitally14]

@beatlefan64 why? thats kinda dumb

[beatlefan64]

@Vitally14

Well, back in the mid 60's performing live shows was very different from today, back then it was very primitive:

For example there were no such things as monitors, so bands couldn't hear themselves on stage and.PA systems were pretty much non existant etc.

is there any footage of them playing dr robert? i cant find any. any studio stuff or live?

[beatlefan64]

@ViacomFailsAtLife

Unfortunately, they never performed Dr. Robert live, that would have been great!

U2 take eight to ten years to release 30 songs.....the Beatles prolific output over seven years is just another reason why they are the greatest musical act (group or solo) of all time.

..because of John`s statemente in 1966 (same year as Revolver-album) , that The Beatles was more popular than Jesus..Lots of people burned their records,they got threatned,banned & certaintly didnt wanna play live after that..Another fact, is that Beatles at that time was so popular on their concerts that they didnt even hear them selves playing while audience where screaming through their whole show..They deicided to only give out studio albums later.

Bob Dylan, Simon and Garfunkel, Cream, and Donavan didn't have tens of thousands of little girls screaming for "Love Me Do."

@beatlefan64 Well, Bob Dylan, Simon & Garfunkel Cream, Donovan and many others could do just perfect shows in the mid 60ies with these "primitive" equipment! I think the Beatles would be able to manage to play the Rubber Souls Songs live, because they are the best Band in the world :P But I think they just didn´t played them live, because the most songs from Rubber Soul werent completely finished when they stopped touring.. well that just my opinion.

@duffh

Bad sound, OK, but: You saw them!!!

[duffh]

I saw both show in Seattle in '66, but they were not good shows. Bad sound system. Bad lighting. Beatles were not enjoying it. It was a take the money and run appearance. They stopped touring soon after.

@crapple009 a "lennon figure" lol pfffft. since when is Lennon the only pop star that can be concerned about things going on in the world? The more people doing it, the better, so what are you yobbling on about?

[unfortunatebeam]

@crapple009 well if he's a grown man picking up young boys, why is it so surprising to you that no one could "fight him off"? and there's a whole grey area between "big" (whatever that means) and "wimpy"

@kenfig did gary glitter child molest? didn't he just have child porn?

[unfortunatebeam]

@PhantomKitty957 actually, he never really was that skinny. I've seen real skinny, and John Lennon wasn't that. And isn't being thin better than being fat?
