Há um novo canal (HD Beatles VEVO channel). Com clips do  spiffy-looking new 1+ Blu-ray box , o canal tem estado a carregar vídeos das músicas dos Beatles em HD. 

Abaixo está a famosa actuação de “Hey Jude" transmitida no programa de variedades Frost, na Grã-Bretanha, a 8 de Setembro de 1968 e no programa The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour, um mês depois, nos EUA. (via Dangerous Minds)

As pessoas, o som e o ambiente tão daquela época cheia de entusiasmo, ideiais e esperança no fututro.

Aqui, Don't Let Me Down, gravado no famoso concerto no topo do edifício da Apple (a editora discográfica), a 30 Janeiro de 1969, última vez que tocaram juntos, ao vivo (o concerto durou 45 minutos e causou tanta confusão de trânsito que a polícia apareceu com ameaças de prisão, o que fez Paul McCartney incorporar umas pidadas improvisadas na letra de Get Back que estavam a tocar no momento) - no piano, Billy Preston.

Durante muito tempo fui um bocado obsecada pelos Moody Blues. Sabia as músicas de cor e ouvia-as horas a fio. Eram uma banda muito à frente do seu tempo na música que faziam. Para além disso, muitas das músicas/letras são de pendor filosófico. Continuo a gostar delas. Trazem-me imensas recordações, sobretudo dos Verões.

 Isn't life strange
A turn of the page
Can read like before
Can we ask for more?
Each day passes by
How hard man will try?
The sea will not wait
You know it makes me want to cry, cry, cry -

Wished I could be in your heart
To be one with your love
Wished I could be in your eyes
Looking back there you were, and here we are.

Isn't love strange
A word we arrange
With no thought or care
Maker of despair
Each breath that we breathe
With love we must weave
To make us as one
You know it makes me want to cry, cry, cry -

Wished I could be in your heart
To be one with your love
Wished I could be in your eyes
Looking back there you were, and here we are.

Isn't life strange
A turn of the page
A book without light
Unless with love we write;
To throw it away
To lose just a day
The quicksand of time
You know it makes me want to cry, cry, cry -

Wished I could be in your heart
To be one with your love
Wished I could be in your eyes
Looking back there you were
