Great song
Bad decision

Ahhhhhh, yeah.  Thanks, Bill!

Always welcome...dancing round my studio this morning...

I was totally not expecting a medley, it's awesome! Especially Sun King, man, what a song...

.....thanks,..first good song since halfanhour.........

My 25 year old daughter just got married with the entire ceremony consisting of Beatles music (I Will is a great wedding song) :  half of the reception was a 3 man band and 30% of their songs were... you guessed it...I guess I raised her right

It's #14 on Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Albums of all time.  Where do the punk bands fall on that list?

Remember all the hype about the cover picture? Great anytime, William!

Simply the BEST from simply the BEST.

Hey, thanks so very much for playing nearly the whole LP.

This is like a mashup of original songs. Sheer genius to do this. And all the little mini-songs are good/great. About 4 years earlier, John complained that the Beatles didn't have enough time to write songs with their busy schedules. But this proves they caught up on writing new material. And once they knew the band would soon be finished, they put this together.

The Stooges were not Chuck Berry on speed. They were unique, mixing Funk and Jazz onto Fun House. The Dolls and Ramones were close to Chuck on speed.

If your referring to the commercialization of alt. music in 76' as Punk, you missed the boat as well...Ramones, Iggy,The 101'ers etc.. along w/ a lot more was going on way  before the Pistols...all they were was Chuck Berry on Speed anyway...I stand by it..this is over blown , that would be an an understatement

 Punk was great and lasted many years, but this is great too. Punk wasn't a reaction to the Beatles, it was a reaction to the Yes's and Pink Floyd's of the world. I thought Paul and John added excellent song bits to side 2 of Abbey Road.

its called "side 2"  and it was designed for a 20/25 minute capacity "long playing" record.    i think its quite clever for a time where everything else was a 3 and a half minute single.

punk technically lasted a year, I was there.   everything "punky" that came after, Im afraid, it has missed the point.

anyway, Punk "came about" 7 years after this.   a bit slow in the planning stage were you?

bah bah bah....

This song is why punk rock came about..how many fricking songs did jerky have to throw into this opus? There's like 8 songs tied up in this crapsterpiece

One of the few bits of perfection here on earth. Plus, they gave Ringo some...

A THOUSAND thanks to you for pointing that out (oddly just one single post of this on Youtube, low resolution but much better than nothing.) Gorgeous performance!
While wondering if he'll know when to stop, for now, McCartney's ability to rock the house and remain a more than convincing live performer is amazing me time and again.
He's certainly nothing but paying the most impressive and accurate tribute to his time and work with the Beatles.

got outta bed at 4am, I did

Since this is/was the very first real vinyl I ever owned (this and Get Yer Ya Yas Out) I have studiously avoided the Beatles for over 20 years. But, hearing this just now, and knowing every note by heart, I have to say "Wow!" This is simply amazing.

Rock on.
