Pawel:
has anybody posted "I Saw Her Standing There" on youtube, please
David Lynch read a brief poem just before "I Saw Her Standing There". I thought it was going to be like the Skeleton's poem with the band playing as he recited, but it was too brief, only a few lines. Then Paul said it was time to go home and to bed, but not before some Rock and Roll...with "I Saw Her Standing There". Very awesome! The Programs were free also. You don't see that at many concerts now-a-days. I still can't believe the whole weekend wasn't a dream. Podgie (what a time!) Monkey
Podgie, What an awesome weekend for you..............somehow, you ALWAYS come out "smelling like a rose".........Enjoy your "Paul-high", it'll probably carry until the next time

well that was a fun night.
The programs were given out free at the beginning of the show but I heard that afterwards they were selling them for $5.00 at the merchandise stands. Also seems they used Paul Saltzman's India photos in the program. Nice. I was wondering why those posters were $100 and didn't find out until later that they were done by Shepard Fairey nor that he had signed them. Didn't buy one, wasn't that crazy about the design tho I do like Fairey's Obama stuff. I didn't believe that Paul had signed anything; if he had, you know it would have been more than $100. Altho I guess that explains why the person in front of me bought five of them...

Ringo's never been a strong singer.... and he's often off-key. But it's usually at least passable. I've seen several of Ringo's All-Starr band tours, and he does alright. But after watching clips all the clips from last night, Ringo sounded really bad. If they do indeed release the show as a live album or a DVD, I wonder if Ringo will be able to re-record his vocal track.
Yes, he sounded bad, but does that matter really?
It matters in the sense that I mentioned.... a potential DVD release could technically be thwarted due to Ringo's sour vocals. I don't know if they would want to put that out there, as is.
There's lots of DVD with poor vocals and no-one expect perfection from Ringo anyway.

This is a much better recording quality of With a Little... yesterday. From the Spanish TV, only half a minute long.
even longer, from an italian TV -

Looks like a great time. Thanks for the links!

I'd just like to say that I happened to be on a school trip to New York, and we went on a tour of Radio City the day after the concert. I actually stood on the stage, but I missed Paul by a day. I wish I could have been at the concert; I bet it was amazing.

beautiful stories.......

There's a big difference between Ringo's usual typical live vocals.... and the vocals he displayed at Radio City. Yes, no one expects perfection from Ringo. But was time was almost embarrassing. Hopefully in post-production, they can separate the vocals from the music, and have Ringo come to a studio and record a new part (sorta like what Paul did for the Live Aid DVD.... though that was a little different, since his vocals were missing in the first place)

So what about Ringo's vocal... ...Ringo might've hit a note or two that wasn't as precise as it could've been. This was fantastic to see. And hear! I look at the bigger picture, and 'll use this as an example: When I saw the audience-shot footage of Paul performing "Only Mama Knows" at The Olympia in Paris in '07, I was delighted to hear what sounded like the whole audience singing along. Singing along to a NEW Macca classic, people! And on the part where Paul hits that high, falsetto "I never knewwww," the audience was so off-key, but I got such a joy-joy hearing them singing it! I think we should take a similar attitude with this weekend's long-awaited event. Now... ...let's all hope and pray Paul does "Cosmically..." at the upcoming Coachella event. -a

What happens? Our timing could not have been the greatest ever!!!!! As we were going around the tour, you could clearing hear Paul singing..."Jet", "Can't Buy Me Love", some jam we couldn't quite make out, etc. I thought at first it was a recording to check the sound. Anyway, the tour was great, but at one point they let you go into this observation room way at the top of the RCMH, the small room has a huge glass window overlooking the whole place, with HD flatscreens on the walls on both sides of the window. They told us no video or photography. As we walked in, what is on stage?!!!! Paul and Ringo center stage, sharing the same microphone, singing "With A Little Help From My Friends!" OMG!!!!
let me guess, this must have been this very moment in time, wasn't it!?

although that cuts off its so sad

On the tapes, Ringo sounds like he is sick actually (that he is getting over a cold). I had 2 in March and was trying to sing at times and you don't have as much control and your voice has the same quality on certain notes that his had. As others have said, so you want perfection or nothing? Methinks not. Surgery went ok. In pain but will try to get another page up today.

Pawel Hey, that was the exact moment!!! Very cool! I remember Ringo's jacket, much different than the evening! They were so relaxed, and Ringo sounded better. I am sure it was recorded, as it was broadcast up to the room we were in (HD Flatscreens)...totally unbelievable!!! Podgie (Hard to believe that we got to Believe in the Unbelievable Experience!)
