    Wow that Beatles trailer has my psyched. I love the little touches - like the icons on the side being Rickenbacker and Hamer headstocks, instead of the traditional rock band one.

    And on the flip side, I love how the Lego ones are the traditional rock band ones, keeping a common thread between the titles.

    I'm no math expert or anything but if they revealed 19 new songs, to go along with the 15 songs already released, and there's a secret 45th song, then that's not the entire setlist. There'd be 10 more to go. Including Back To The USSR, which I'm fairly certain I've seen gameplay footage of.

    Or I'm imagining things. Or dreamscaping things.

    I wonder if they're going to include the whole outro to this one? It is about four minutes long and repetitive, which doesn't really fit the whole accessibility thing they're going for with this game. On t'other hand, I doubt they want to be those people who edited a Beatles song.

    Wait a second...Why is I Want You (She's So Heavy) a rooftop concert song? That was one of the last songs they worked on together and was most deffinately not part of Let It Be/the rooftop concert. That's got to be a typo...

    In response to your post, though, I'm almost sure they're going to leave it full length. They can't get away with editing Beatles songs, and they're already letting the medley on the second side of the album be played in its full length.

    They've said the history of the Beatles will take some liberties. Like acoustic guitars showing up in concerts where it was only electric only, etc. I could see them adding stuff not actually sung on the rooftop if it was part of that period.

    That makes more sense than 'Oh, by the way, can we release a karaoke-only version that is exclusive to just one console?' and then actually getting approval...

    But its not even part of that period is the problem. All of the other songs they have included into venues they were not played at work out because at the very least the song existed and had been recorded and released by the time of the concert. This one was on the next album, and doesn't even really work well as a live song.

    According to Wikipedia, the Beatles played a brief rehearsal of the song while the engineer was changing tapes during the actual rooftop concert.

    Keep in mind that pretty much everything the Beatles recorded in the second half of their existence don't work well as live songs. Also, if that song shouldn't be played on the rooftop, then where should it be played?

    Double post :) And I think that hardly counts, it would work much better as a dreamscape like the rest of the Abbey Road album, in my opinion. If we're going to be crazy wikipedia specific about it, most of it wasn't done by the time Let It Be/the concert was filmed.
    the basic track and John's guide vocal (which is used in the master) were recorded at Trident Studios on 22 February 1969, shortly after filming for the film project ended. John and George overdubbed multi-tracked heavy guitar overdubs on 18 April 1969, and Billy Preston overdubbed keyboards, and conga drums were also added on 20 April 1969. "I Want You", then received the "she's so heavy" vocals on 11 August 1969 and thus, the title was changed into "I Want You (She's So Heavy)".

    Three takes from 22 February were edited into a master (second generation), which was overdubbed, mixed down on 18 April (third generation), and overdubbed on 18 April, 20 April and 11 August. Different overdubs were made to the second generation tape on 8 August. The mix is the third generation for 4:37 (up to "she's so") and then the second generation tape, which has a white noise and additional drums added on 8 August. The overdub session for I Want You (She's So Heavy) was the last time all four of the Beatles would work in the studio together.

    Unless I'm looking at this wrong, there will only actually be 5 other tracks released in the Abbey Road DLC, which is fine by me since it will cost less. It'll let me get the rest of Sgt. Peppers too at the same time I'm pretty sure, as well.

    Right, and as I understand it the medley songs are going to be edited together as one track...which would actually make it four songs, come to think of it.

    Well, unless they split the medley up...I dunno, I don't think I actually saw an official statement about that come to think of it, I think I just saw someone on here say they were doing that.
