나도 비틀즈 엄청 좋아했는데
처음에는 아이 워나 홀드 유어 핸드 같은 곡을 좋아하다가
점점 후기 비틀즈로 가서 아임 더 월러스, 어크로스 더 유니버스,
스트로베리 필즈 포에버 같은 곡들을 좋아하게 되었는데
나중에는 다시 이 가장 초기,
가령 할리우드 보울 라이브 같은 곡들이 너무 좋아졌고
지금도 너무 좋다!
물론 스트로베리나, 페니 레인 같은 곡들도 여전히 좋다!
이 초기 시절의 라이브들은 정말 내가 남자인데도 보기에도 신나는 곡들이고
팝록 음악의 역사를 쓰려고 마음 먹고 들어보니
정말 동시대의 어떤 노래와도 다른 혁명적 감수성의 '백인' 음악이다.
사실 척 베리나, 리틀 리차드 등이 진정한 선구자들이지만,
비틀즈는 알수록 들을수록 훌륭한 그룹이다.
특히 그들이 나중에 찍은 음악 영화들, 가령
노란 잠수함 이거 걸작이다.
핑크 플로이드의 월에 버금가는, 아니
사실상 능가하는 걸작이다.
디스 보이나, 유 리얼리 갓 어 홀드 온 미(원래 스모키 앤 미라클스 곡)
너무 좋다.
라이브 비디오에 등장하는 소녀들 얼굴 표정 보는 재미도 물론 한몫 한다!
The Beatles- This Boy, 1963
"This Boy" is a song by British rock band The Beatles composed by John Lennon,and was first released in November 1963 as the B-side of the UK Parlophone single "I Want to Hold Your Hand". The Beatles performed it live on 16 February 1964 for their second Ed Sullivan Show appearance in the USA. It also appears as the third track on side one of US release, Meet the Beatles!.

Its composition was an attempt by John Lennon at writing a song in the style of Motown star Smokey Robinson, specifically his song "I've Been Good To You", which has similar circular doo-wop chord changes, melody and arrangement, and Paul McCartney cites The Teddy Bears 1959 hit To Know Him Is To Love Him as also being influential.
Lennon, McCartney, and George Harrison join together to sing an intricate three-part close harmony in the verses and refrain (originally the middle eight was conceived as a guitar solo, but altered during the recording process) and a similar song writing technique is exercised in later Beatles songs, such as "Yes It Is" and "Because" (which, interestingly, are among the few Beatles songs which also feature three-part harmonies).
An instrumental version of "This Boy", orchestrated by George Martin, is used as the incidental music during Ringo Starr's towpath scene in the film A Hard Day's Night. The piece, under the title, "Ringo's Theme (This Boy)" was released as a single - but failed to chart in the UK - on 7 August 1964 with And I Love Her on the B Side, although it did reach #53 in the American Top 100 later that year. It was also included on Martins Parlophone album Off The Beatle Track and the EP Music From A Hard Days Night by the George Martin Orchestra, released 19 February 1965. It was also included on the American A Hard Day's Night soundtrack album.

The Beatles recorded the song on July 18, 1963. This session took place while Please Please Me was still at number one in the album charts four months after its release, and in the midst of a rigorous touring schedule that also had to include BBC sessions for radio and television. It was completed in seven takes, four of which were complete. The group then recorded four edit pieces. The final version was an edit of takes 7, 10 and 11.
The Beatles also recorded "You Really Gotta Hold on Me" on four occasions for BBC radio in 1963. One of these, from July 30, 1963 was included on the Live at the BBC collection. A live version recorded in Stockholm, Sweden in October 1963 was released in 1995 on Anthology 1.
The song was performed once again in 1969, during the Let It Be recording sessions, and featured in the 1970 documentary film, Let It Be.

The Beatles - Roll Over Beethoven (with Jimmy Nicol), 1964
"Roll Over Beethoven" is a 1956 hit single by Chuck Berry originally released on Chess Records, with "Drifting Heart" as the B-side. The lyrics of the song mention rock and roll and the desire for rhythm and blues to replace classical music. The song has been covered by many other artists and Rolling Stone ranked it #97 on their list of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time.
"Roll Over Beethoven" is one of the most widely covered songs in popular music --"a staple of rock & roll bands" according to Koda -- with notable versions by Jerry Lee Lewis, The Beatles and the Electric Light Orchestra. Other covers were made by Mountain, Ten Years After, Raul Seixas, Leon Russell, Status Quo, The Rolling Stones, The Byrds, The 13th Floor Elevators, The Sonics, Wes Paul, Gene Vincent, Quartz, Uriah Heep, Kickhunter, Johnny Rivers and Iron Maiden.
"Roll Over Beethoven" was a favourite of John Lennon, Paul McCartney and George Harrison even before they had chosen "The Beatles" as their name, and they continued to play it live right into their American tours of 1964. Their version of "Roll Over Beethoven" was recorded on 30 July 1963 for their second British LP, With The Beatles, and features George Harrison on vocals and guitar. In the United States, it was released 10 April 1964 as the opening track of The Beatles' Second Album.
In 1994, The Beatles released a live version of "Roll Over Beethoven" on Live at the BBC. This live version was recorded on 28 February 1964 and broadcast on 30 March 1964 as part of a BBC series starring The Beatles called From Us to You. This version of "Roll Over Beethoven" was used in the film Superman III directed by Richard Lester who also directed The Beatles' first two films, Help! and A Hard Day's Night.
The Rutles' song "Blue Suede Schubert" is based on The Beatles' cover of this song.
"Roll Over Beethoven" is the second single released by the Electric Light Orchestra. It became their second consecutive top ten hit in the UK, as well as a hit in the United States when an edited version of the track was taken from the album ELO 2 in 1973. ELO's elaborate eight-minute reworking of the track included an opening musical quote from Beethoven's Fifth Symphony and clever interpolations of material from the symphony's first movement into Berry's song; the band closed all their concerts using this number, their signature song. The B-side Queen of the Hours was the first ever ELO published song, released by Harvest Records in November 1971 in a compilation called The Harvest Bag which featured various Harvest records artists.
Meat Loaf has performed many rock covers for his concerts throughout his career, including Chuck Berry songs. His covers of "Roll Over Beethoven" have been in his "Rock Medleys" of Elvis, Chuck Berry, and Little Richard favorites. Though a cover was never officially released into the medley, being edited out of the CD recording of the tour, it has been on one of Meat Loaf's Objects in the Rear View Mirror singles, recorded for VH-1 in the early 90's according to the CD jacket.
Iron Maiden included a cover of the Berry song on the B-side of their single "From Here to Eternity", called "Roll Over Vic Vella". The song features different lyrics (written by Steve Harris) about the band's long-time tour manager, Vic Vella.
Narvel Felts covered the song in 1982. His version went to #64 on the Hot Country Singles charts in 1982.
