Great song in my opinion, the team did a brilliant job of cleaning up the original recording.
Views will vary wildly on here I suspect.

Of course
But I think the one from 20 years ago was the same sort of thing .
It's like Led Zep .....the only decent song off that coda was poor tom .
Grateful dead .....just playing for pennies towards the end
Sabbath ? ......dreadful studio albums after 76 really
I was a love demon 20 years ago but I am shot to bits these days
You gotta know when to wrap up

The Beatles have wrapped up though, this song is forty odd years old. Good mini documentary on BBC1 yesterday evening about the making of it. Excellent how John’s voice has been cleaned up and mixed in.

Also Paul & Ringo are practically on their uppers. Who can knock them for trying to squeeze a last few bob out of the punters. They’re pensioners y’know.

Re: The Last Ever Beatles Song
It's ok, but sounds like an album track more than a single. Interesting to hear it though, and how it was made.

Re: The Last Ever Beatles Song
Floyd ......home , home again , I like to be here where I can
Great expansive guitars , great singing by Gilmour , band in total control
They have a few arguments, split up then record a momentary lapse of reason which was rubbish and that's been it really
Put your feet up , have an early night etc

After some of the tuneless and talentless bands and songs that you have championed on here, I don’t think you are in any position to judge whether other bands are good, bad or over the top. When you talk about ‘legend’ bands like Led Zep, Black Sabbath, Deep Purple and particularly The Stones and Beatles, who have given so much enjoyment to millions of people all over the world for decades and some continue to do so even today, you haven’t got a clue what you are talking about, in my opinion. Thats is after all what your words are - just your opinion and not an experts analysis.

Re: The Last Ever Beatles Song
Never mind that as the Stones have a whole new album out and it is fantastic.

Have a listen to the latest remastering of 'Revolver', using AI to separate the tracks and mix them again. Hope they do the same with Sgt Pepper. Really worth a listen.

Not sure that it could have been recorded any later in the day to be honest.
It's fine. Lennon's vocals sound a lot better than they did on the 90s tracks so it was worth waiting for AI to come along. I can see why George wasn't fussed about it (in a worse state back then, and compared to the two they put out) and it's a shame that they have lost some of the more interesting parts of Lennon's original demo ,but overall I'm glad it exists.

Well The Beatles were a staggering band once they left the teeny bopper sound
Revolver , Rubber Soul , White Album , it was monumental stuff

It coincided pretty much with a decision to stop gigging and concentrate on studio stuff.
I find it quite staggering that for years, they never released singles from their albums, they were unique songs not to be found elsewhere.

I am glad they basically knocked it when they did which is why I think this newly discovered and remastered or whatever we want to call it is not my bag
I mean it's OK but does it hold up to classic beatles ? Not for me
Sabbath , Rush, Cream , Zep all fav bands of mine but wether by accident or design all could have stopped before they actually did

No, of course it isn't up there with the classic Beatles. Nothing post 1970 was ever going to be anything other than a nostalgia trip. Surely you're not expecting two geriatrics to reproduce the masters they did in the 60s.
I'm in the camp of it's just good to hear something new from the 4 Beatles. Lennon's vocals are flawless, unlike the 90s attempts. They've revisited Beatles techniques, like strings etc. Is it a good song? Maybe not when all is said and done, but it's closure. A final song where all 4 Beatles have ended up on a recording together. That makes it definitive. How many of us would have loved a final opportunity to close the book on something? They've had that, regardless of whether someone likes the song or not. In those terms it doesn't matter if the song is any good or not.

Well that's your opinion it's certainly not mine
I think nostalgia trips are a bit of waste of time really .
It's a free country but it's a poor song in my opinion , it's not bringing anything special to the party
Lennons voice is too whiney on songs like this , it just seems a pointless exercise

can't comment on this Beatles track as its not my bag but hopefully the smiths don't go down this route
millions of dollars have been offered to the smiths to reform over the years and think it was the right decision not too although the band are more popular now more than ever !
there legacy still remains intact thankfully

Isn't Lennon's voice largely computer generated? Not a fan of that at all

Re: The Last Ever Beatles Song
The Smiths were one of my favourite 80s bands and if you’re talking about influential acts, they were at the forefront for their time, but comparing them to the Beatles, it’s like the EuropeanConference and the Champions League. The Smiths influenced music, the Beatles influenced life. In a way, I’d like to have been born ten years earlier, so I could have a better memory of what life was like before the Beatles - there were plenty of other reasons why the sixties were such a momentous decade, but the Beatles were right there in the front and centre of it.
Because of this, I can understand the desire fo get the absolute maximum of Beatles product out there, but I’m with Sludge about the track released yesterday - it’s pretty insipid and, in my view, undeserving of all of the hype.
