Uncle Larry's Juke Box - 45's I Recollect... on Youtube





Leroy Pullins was actually a one hit wonder that capitolized on sounding like Roger Miller



(4) The Beatles - Help! [Blackpool Night Out, ABC Theatre, Blackpool, United Kingdom] - YouTube
Some anomalies---> I can't figure out if this is live or some sort of fake stage. The curtain closes at the end and the audience cheers fade-- they shouldn't fade. Despite appearing to be live, there is no shot of the audience. Why not? Here's a video (4) The Beatles -Help - YouTubewhere we can see the apparent crowd-- and actually see some of the fretboard work. Note that it's George playing a chord here...



Next, here's a good shot where we can see all three guitar players... and they all have hand positions on the frets... just at the point at 2:41 where that bass line comes in... it's a descending bass line-- but who is doing it? Not John... and it can't be George.. so must be Paul on the left. Maybe it's not being played by a bass guitar however... it's a single line of notes... who's doing it?



Next-- here we see George playing a bar chord-- it's A major... "and now my life has changed" are they lyrics at 2:40. He's on the 6th bar, right on top of it... I'm not a guitar player-- but shouldn't he be either in front of or behind it? Not sure.



George moves from A major to  C# minor "in oh so many ways"... but his finger positions don't change! He just moves his bar chord finger from fret 6 to fret 5.... his other fingers do NOT change relative to one another. If he's playing a bar chord, this makes no sense because he's moving DOWN on the fretboard and he changing from a major to a minor chord. The relative positions of the fingers would have to change!- but they don't. Is this entire thing Millie Vanillied? I think maybe. It's worth further research anyway. And this is supposed to be a live concert.







(4) Red Rubber Ball - Cyrkle, The - YouTube
This video strikes me as a problem-- where is the organ? And the clapping of the audience is annoying. I think it must be the original performers. There are not mics on all these "original" videos-- so they're lip synching and do the real music in studio.

 (4) Beatles A Hard Days Night Live Hollywood Bowl 23 08 64 Stereo - YouTube
This sounds like original audio and is missing lots of low end. Here we can actually see where the mics are.

(4) Mrs. Robinson & Not Fade Away (Live) by Simon & Garfunkel - YouTube
This is a later live performance--- in 2011... first done in the 1960s...
