I agree with His-Bobness (Sutliff!). We Beatle nuts have had SLEWS of this
Let It Be stuff for years and years so this is no big deal. Most Beatle nuts
probably will be happy to have it but usually take anything that Capitol/Apple
does with caution and a grain of salt these days. Still, it warms my heart to
see "new" Beatle product on the racks.
The Concert For George *is* as Bobby said....wonderful. It is a 2 disc set
with the concert itself and the theatrical version of the film too.
The Lennon Legend dvd is also very nice. That came out yesterday too.
There is a new Beatles bootleg out (that I heard the other day). I guess
when they were mixing the Beatle's Anthology dvd to 5.1 sound they isolated
guitar parts, vocals,
orchestrations, bass parts etc. You get the idea. So this is a 7 cd set
that is basically comprised of isolated (or way up front) parts. I have heard
these songs hundreds of times but it was still a great thrill to hear just
Paul's bass line for A Day In The Life or just George's 12 string Rick part on A
Hard Day's Night or just the orchestration from Golden Slumbers and on and on.
I found myself getting chills quite a few times listening to this set!
