The Beatles Tour in Australia – Documentary and Concert Footage (1964)
Mar 17, 2011 Rock Bands
1964 www.amazon.com Watch more: lifeofthebeatles.blogspot.com The “third wave” of Australian rock began in about 1970 with the last of the early 60s groups dissolving. Few acts from this era attained major international success, and it was even difficult to achieve continued fame across Australia, due to low radio airplay and the increasing dominance of overseas performers on the charts. The 1970 radio ban from May to October, resulted from a dispute between major record companies and commercial radio stations, where they refused to pay a new levy for playing pop records. Some Australian groups had hits with covers of UK songs including The Mixtures with Mungo Jerry’s “In the Summertime”.[26] Despite resistance from commercial radio, acts as diverse as AC/DC, Sherbet and John Paul Young were able to achieve major success and develop a unique sound for Australian rock. One of the key agents for the increased exposure of local music was the nationally broadcast ABC-TV television pop show Countdown, which was soon followed by Australia’s first non-commercial all-rock radio station Double Jay. Hard rock band AC/DC and harmony rock group Little River Band also found major overseas success in the late 70s and early 80s, touring all over the world. Meanwhile, a score of Australian expatriate solo performers like Helen Reddy, Olivia Newton-John and Peter Allen became major stars in the USA and internationally. Icehouse also formed in the late 1970s. This period also saw bands …

Surviving Beatles Present Beatles Rock Band at Game Convention
Jun 16, 2007 Rock Bands
Paul McCartney and Ringo made an appearance at the E3 video game trade conference in Los Angeles recently. They were at the convention to champion the anticipated release of the Beatles Rock Band video game.
The Beatles Game will be out on 09 09 09. It will obviously be the must-have Beatles Christmas Gift of 2009. It may be hard to find around Christmas, so plan ahead and put in your order today. The Limited Edition Guitar Controllers will probably be extra difficult to find near Christmas. You can pre-order Rock Band here…
At the game conference, Paul McCartney kidded, “Whoever thought we’d end up as androids?” His bandmate Ringo added “The Game is good, the graphics are very good, and we look great.” McCartney and Starr robotically parodied how their game characters walked without getting any laughs from the game industry audience. Looks like the video game industry take their video games very serious.
Beatle family members Yoko Ono and Olivia and Dhani Harrison, and George Martin’s Son also made brief appearances at the conference.
The Beatles Rock Band video game will allow people to step into the lives of the Beatles and perform hits such as I Saw Her Standing There, I Feel Fine, Day Tripper, Back in the USSR, Octopus’ Garden, and Get Back. You can hold controllers that are replicas of the Beatle’s instruments including an optional limited edition Rickenbacker and Gretsch guitars.
With downloadable remastered songs, the game is going to be the Beatles first jump into distributing their catalog digitally having denied the release of their catalog as MP3s to iTunes and other online sites.
On the same day as the game release, the Band will re-issue their CDs as brand new remixed songs. If they’re as good as the remixed Let it Be and Yellow Submarine, you’re in for a great time. Giles Martin remixed the songs and publicized the remastered Beatles song catalog release at the E3 Video Game Convention.
Star and McCartney Played at a New York benefit in April, but appearances together have been uncommon since the breakup. I’m hoping that Ringo will make an appearance at McCartney’s Citi Field concert. It will be the first concert in the Mets new baseball stadium. In a historic concert, the Beatles were the first to play the NY Mets original Shea Stadium.
