When was the last time all four Beatles played together in the studio?
Looks to me it was probably July 25, 69, recording Sun King/Mean Mr.
Mustard.

Abbey Road was recorded *after* Let It Be.

I said the "ONLY" time they played simultaneously, since I'm betting
very few if any songs before or after the Let It Be sessions were
recorded with all four playing simultaneously.  They may have been in
the studio together, but different parts of tracks were put down at
different times.  That was probably more true on Abbey Road sessions
than at any other time.

Yeah, I was thinking of the kazoo bit. I must have blotted "Six O'Clock"
out of my memory.




Paul and George later both contributed to Ringo's Vertical Man album,
Paul playing bass and singing backup on "What in the World," and
George playing a slide guitar solo on "King of Broken Hearts."

Well that's interesting. I don't have any awareness of McCartney or
Starr recordings post 1982 or so.


You're missing out on some good stuff in that case my friend - if you
have a taste for McCartn<snip

No. No no no no no. I stopped actively pursuing ex-Beatle music simply
for the sake of it being distantly related to *real* Beatle music some
25 years ago. I would rather plunge my hand into a pot of boiling water
than have to catch up with the back-catalogue of (especially) McCartney
and Starr. I really *do* have better things to listen to. And the only
reason I have the rest of George's catalogue is that my brother is a big
fan, and I acquired copies of his discs as a matter of course. With
Lennon it's different, as he never had the chance to slide into
repetitive mediocrity over subsequent decades. The only post-Beatles
release I have sought out to purchase since 1983 or so is the Lennon
Anthology. "Broad Street" and "Gone Troppo" in particular embarrassed me
away from ex-Beatles for good.

I had the misfortune to have to sit through a DVD of a 1993 McCartney
concert recently, and it is so embarrassing to see him grinding out the
old Beatles numbers. I imagine it must be much, much worse to see him 16
years on doing the same thing, but older. Every year I pray that he will
have the good sense to retire (but he won't because he's such a ham, an
applause junkie and an egomaniac). I really hope that David Frost's 1964
prediction of his retirement date will come to pass.

Don't ask me where I got this, but I had it down as 1969, and from the
instruments, haircuts and even clothes I'm pretty confident it's
during the recording of Abbey Road:

It looks very much like everyone playing together, and in one case,
telling someone else how to play(!)

I'm sorry, I really don't understand. What other people do,
does not effect me, or embarrass me. That's "their" problem,
not mine. Thanks for your polite response.

I feel sorry for you if that's true.

Paul McCartney inspires me.

How can the actions of another embarrass YOU? You might be embarrassed to
be his fan, but that doesn't sound like the case.

I find your semantic distinction to be a pointless exercise in
hair-splitting, and in no way relevant.
