Around 15 minutes they are listening old tapes. FEATURING: Take 1 OF „GOLDEN SLUMBERS / CARRY THAT WEIGHT“ The Threetles plus George Martin are listening to the tapes for the first time since they were recorded, and you can see the emotion on their faces. There is a small discussion about who’s playing what: George says, „It sounds like only you (Paul) and Ringo are on it?“ Then Paul says, „I think I’m on the piano. And then who is on the bass?“ (they start to laugh!!) At the end nobody knows who is on what instruments.Then they move on hearing the TAKE 1 OF Tomorrow Never Knows. George and Paul are over the control room, mixing, isolating sounds, etc. And then the Official version from Maters tapes.(JUST GREAT!!!!!)

THE MAKING OF „FREE AS A BIRD“ VIDEO The director explains how the video was make. Including some behind the scenes footage, and a lot of great stories
HIGHLIGHTS: Why an elephant and a sitar on the video? The elephant was Ringo’s request, and the sitar was George’s. Also George wanted to be the man who’s playing the ukulele at the end of the video, but the director vetoed it, because he said, „If you’re on it , the other two should be in there too!“SEGMENT 8:
REAL LOVE VIDEO (version 2)MORE:
Footage of a reunion performance by Beatles Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr and George Harrison is to be seen by the public for the first time. The session, filmed in 1994, is the only time the three played together following the band’s split in 1970. The rare hour-long footage was shot at Harrison’s Friar Park studios, June 23 1994 at his mansion in Henley-on-Thames, Oxfordshire. Paul and George were on acoustic guitars and ukuleles and Ringo was on drums.
It includes renditions of „Love Me Do,“ „Roll Over Beethoven“ and „I Saw Her Standing There.“
It is due to be released at the end of March, and is expected be one of the biggest-selling DVDs ever. The trio got together 14 years after the death of John Lennon to record a string of rock and roll classics.
The songs, which the band used to play in their early days, include „Blue Moon Of Kentucky,“ „Ain’t She Sweet“ and „Thinking of Linking.“
The session was filmed for possible inclusion in the 1996 „Beatles Anthology“ video, but in the end only a minute-long segment was shown on ABC’s „Good Morning America“ in the US.
