Take what you've written and what I've written, mash 'em together and we'd probably get an accurate picture!

OK, I can see what you are saying a little bit better. From reading Geoff Emerick's book, he made it seem like the Beatles were still functioning as a band and working together for pretty much everything on Revolver. Geoff doesn't really become the head engineer until that point so has less insight on recording Rubber Soul, but you'd assume it was at least as involved as Revolver. I mean yes the Beatles had decided to experiment a lot more in the studio, especially after touring, so their songs were being put together differently and it wasn't ...

I meant HELP the album - but what I meant really was that with each album after HELP, they less and less played as band together. Even in the studio if you read the recording logs, songs were being constructed track by track. And even in the rare moments when all four played at once, often even one of those tracks would re-done later.

I guess what I'm getting at is even in a song like Yer Blues, they didn't really rehearse, they had the luxury of the studio as their work shop. I acknowledge that they were highly collaborative still ...

We Can Work It Out was played live during the '65 UK christmas tour, sadly no audio has ever surfaced.

Depends on what is meant by "band". They were very much together when recording Rubber Soul and Revolver. The separation on their albums began during Pepper when Ringo was hanging about for hours playing chess waiting to be summoned and George wasnt that interested in the recordings preferring to be studying the sitar and all things Indian.

I typed an error in my last post. I'll Cry instead is in the wrong place (it was a late addition) as it wasnt recorded for the BBC. ...

This is semi on topic, so I ask your understanding, but I remember reading in an interview, I think with John, how so many of their songs they never really played. Meaning they were only played when they were recorded in the studio and then left alone and put away. Yes Paul has brought some out - but as a group a lot of their songs (obviously the later years), even when played in the studio they weren't "played" as much as they were constructed piece by piece and track by track.

This was the driving force behind ...

Was going through youtube today looking up different McCartney Beatle-era songs that he's played live in recent years, and upon looking for a couple that didn't have any matches, it made me think of what Beatle songs have never been played before a live audience, either by the Beatles themselves (which as we know leaves out everything from Sgt. Pepper, Magical Mystery Tour, White Album, Yellow Submarine, and Abbey Road) or by individual Beatles in Concert. John, as we know, rarely performed live post-Beatles, and didn't really play too many Beatles songs when he did. I'm assuming Ringo has played ...
