Question about Yesterday

[EddieV]

Just read Mark Lewishons book and when The Beatles toured Great Britain in 1965 it said that Paul played Yesterday on with a piano on it, true?

Any videos or audio from this?

Sadly Eddie there are no records of this final UK tour. No photo's, audio , film.....nothing! It seems hard to believe really!!

i have never heard this. that, alone, doesn't make it not true. but if none of us had ever heard of this...maybe it is not true.

If Lewishon said its true, then I would bet it's true. He knows more than all of us.

yeah dragonfly from what i understand he is the worlds leading authority on the beatles according to wikepedia so he must know what he is talking about

If Lewishon said its true, then I would bet it's true. He knows more than all of us.

I think Paul said that he knows more about The Beatles than he does!!

I can't imagine the song being done with piano. And why would he, if he'd just done it in Blackpool on guitar that summer? The footage of that performance of "Yesterday" (from Anthology) shows him playing guitar.

Wow this is cool. A video actually exists of the final UK tour. I would love to get my hands on that.

The following is from...www.beatlesbible.com

The Beatles' only UK tour of 1965 was also their final one as a group. It began with two shows at the Odeon Cinema in Glasgow.

The tour lasted 10 days, and saw The Beatles perform in nine venues across eight cities. Throughout they played a set comprising 11 songs: I Feel Fine, She's A Woman, If I Needed Someone, Act Naturally, Nowhere Man, Baby's In Black, Help!, We Can Work It Out, Yesterday, Day Tripper and I'm Down. Paul McCartney performed Yesterday solo on an electric organ.
