[edit] Paul & Ringo

I have just removed the following from the article re the 2002 Concert for George "It was the first time that Starr and McCartney had performed together since recording "All Those Years Ago" in 1981."

Does this refer to live performance? If it refers to recording sessions then it is incorrect, as Paul & Ringo recorded in 1994 for "Free as a Bird", 1995 for "Real Love" and tracks from McCartney's album Flaming Pie issued in 1997. Design 01:53, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Missing info

Uh, it doesn't seem to state who sings lead on the studio recorded version - is it Harrison? Stevage 08:44, 1 June 2006 (UTC)

Jake shimabukuro plays this on the ukulele and that has become a very popular video, when searching for the song, that video comes up higher on google's page rank than the actual song

[edit] She's Electric X While my guitar gently weeps

this song (00:51) has the same chords as the oasis' song from theur album (What's the Story) Morning Glory?, she's electric at 00:53. please note it is the same chord scheme. should it be added to the main article? (HelenoBR 00:29, 25 October 2007 (UTC))

[edit] The Concert for Bangladesh

It's asserted in The Concert for Bangladesh article that the concert was the first time it was publicly revealed that Clapton played the solo to this song. Is that a correct assertion and what would be a good reference for that if it is?-Wisekwai 19:17, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

I was under the impression that that is not the case. Lewisohn's The Compleat Beatles Recordings would be the definitive proof, I would think. Styxman 06:06, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Dubious Reference to Casey Vail

This anonymous edit adds a reference to "Casey Vail": 121802617

I can't find any mention of a guitarist w/ that name on google. Sounds bogus to me - Tyler Oderkirk 01:17, 15 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Love ending

At the end of this song on the Love album, John Lennon can be heard saying quite cleary "[something] the mike of the channel is quite low this just keeps [something] with my maracas, you know... You know those old channels"

I don't know how, or if you want to incorporate this into the article, but there you go.

That's actually from the version of "A Day in the Life", which is the next track on the album. It's not from "While My Guitar Gently Weeps"Scmods (talk) 08:46, 22 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:The White Album.jpg

Image:The White Album.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

[edit] Princes Infamous Guitar Solo?

What's infamous about it? It's a great solo. Scmods (talk) 08:47, 22 November 2007 (UTC)

I have to agree. I was surprised to see the word 'infamous' in there, with its negative connotation. Is there news I'm missing? Enivel (talk) 13:11, 23 November 2007
