On June 23, 1994, Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr joined George Harrison at his home in Henley, England to work on the autobiographical documentary -The Beatles Anthology-. During the day, they decide to perform the Beatles' songs "Let It Be" and "Love Me Do", but they abandoned the idea since John Lennon was no longer alive. They instead videotaped themselves performing several rock-and-roll oldies, with Paul and George on acoustic guitar and Ringo on drum brushes. None of this footage made it into the -Anthology- video series.

On only one occasion as this material been shown to the public: on December 4, 1996, this one-minute clip of "Blue Moon of Kentucky" was broadcast on US television, featured on the ABC news show -Good Morning America.- Fortunately, I was watching that morning, and had my VCR ready to go. And so, here it is: the one and only publicly-shown performance of the Beatles performing live after 1969.

Thanks so much. I wish there was a smiley that was smiling, but crying at the same time, that is how I felt when I watched this.
Thanks again.

I think I'm gonna be sad... I think it's today.

Oh, I know perfectly how you feel... I felt the same.

Thank you so much Amalthea!!!

The clip was truly amazing. It was unbelievable to see them performing live once more. They looked so happy and were certainly having a good time.

I'd say to everyone who hasn't seen this: Download! It's a quite big file though so you'd better have cable.

Future is not, may not be at all
Present is, improve the flying hour
Present only is within thy power.

I loved it! Was it just me or did the stares from George say that he still idolised Paul in a way?

I agree with Harb, Geo still seemed to idolize Paul in a way.

This was such a sweet link, thanks for showing it to us! It was beautiful.

I still wanna curl up and cry anyway though...

------------------
Words are flowing out like endless rain into a paper cup,
They slither wildly as they slip away across the universe.
Pools of sorrow, waves of joy are drifting through my open mind,
Possessing and caressing me.
Jai guru deva om.

Nothing's gonna change my world

jtal909 · May 30, 2002, 07:39 PM

that could be true, Harb. people don't really change you will see as you get older.

He means that he thought it looked like he admired Paul.

Thanks Amal!
