I'm Dan Rivkin (@rivkin), and have been tweeting and blogging the Nagra Tapes -- (aka the Beatles' Get Back sessions) start to finish, since 2012
Joined December 2011
I’ve been writing about the Get Back sessions for 10 yrs, approaching it w/same attitude we’ll see in #TheBeatlesGetBack. I’m no filmmaker but am a writer/researcher & if you want to flesh it all - you should - visit https://t.co/SLdvi4UzzU for that & beyond. It’s well-regarded!

Today would have been George Harrison's 83rd birthday in the material world (or maybe it was yesterday). From the archives, here's my birthday card to George, revisiting his deeply vibrant period between his 25th & 26th birthdays, from Feb. 1968-69 🎂🎸🕉

Over the years, we’ve celebrated the birthdays of Paul McCartney, John Lennon and Ringo Starr, looking back at the periods straddling the big days in 1968-1969. Today it’s George Harris…

Charge your earbuds and fire up your fave podcast app as I join The Beatles: Note By Note to dig into “Everybody’s Trying To Be My Baby,” tying Carl Perkins’ influence & inspiration from the band’s outset to final song (and beyond). A blast of a chat! 🎧

Watching that woman perform with the guitar on stage at the Verona Arena during the Olympic closing ceremonies, it struck me if Michael Lindsay-Hogg knew of this place. Could have been an easier sell to have Beatles playing Italy in January 1969 instead of traveling to Tunisia

I’ve said it many times before, the Beatles were very good at not being broken up until they decided to really break up (and then, they were not very good in clearly breaking up)

This is when I used to give the hot take the Get Back sessions couldn't have been so bad, they were eager to record again 3 weeks later, held up by legit reasons like tonsils & essential personnel tied up overseas. Not so hot anymore! (and that's good!)
@thebeatles The Get Back/Let It Be sessions didn't break up the Beatles! Don't listen to people who tell you that! If George didn't get his tonsils out, Ringo didn't film The Magic Christian, if Billy wasn't unavailable, they would have gotten together sooner than the 3 weeks it took them.

They probably would have gotten back together even sooner had Billy Preston and Glyn Johns not been out of the country and George Harrison didn't have a tonsillectomy (more on that here:
57 years ago today - February 7, 1969, just a week after the Beatles' Get Back sessions concluded - George Harrison broke up with his tonsils. This hospital photo was published in his 1980 memoir, I Me Mine. Extensive annual tonsillectomy thread starts here ✂👅🧵

It’s Feb 22 and 57 years ago - about 3 weeks post-Roof - the Beatles & Billy (and minus George's tonsils) were marvelously loud at Trident in their 1st proper stab at "I Want You (She's So Heavy)", the blurry line between the Get Back & Abbey Road sessions

Happy 93rd to Yoko Ono! 🎂 (For age context: That's 1 1/2 years older than Brian Epstein would have been, almost 2 years older than Elvis and more than 3 years than Holly & Orbison. She was more than 7 1/2 years older than John, who she spent about 13 years with, now 45 without)
