Rock Hall Of Fame -Cleveland. Get Back to Let It Be Exhibit

Post by sam004 »

Just wondering if anyone has had a chance to visit the RnR Hall in Cleveland ?
As some may know there is an exhibit that started in March of this year that focuses on the Get back project.

I took some pictures and hope to upload them and share them, if anyone is interested.
Mind you these are amateurish photos take with a cell phone camera.
The lighting is that good and no flash is allowed, and of course everything is behind glass, so you get a reflection.

That being said, one of the most interesting items, to me on display was Glynn Johns diary from 69-70.
He must have used it for billing and expense, I imagine. Kind of pairs with his book too.
I was hoping more pages were available, only 2 weeks worth. First week of May 69 and Jan 70.

There was an interesting tidbit in there that clears up a bit of a mystery.
In the Recording Session Book, and everything written since, it states that his final 1970 compilation was completed
on Jan 5 1970, and that George overdubbed For You Blue on Jan 8. So how did that version end up on the 1970 version if he finished on the 5th you ask?

I have read where Lewisohn admits that there things missing out of Recording Sessions. I found a missing piece.
I will post the photo later to prove this. Glyn notes a session on the 8th for the overdub and addition to the final compilation on the 8th, not the 5th.

I imagine there is documentation that suggests the 5th, to lead to that. but it appears George wanted to rework his vocal, so session happened on the 8th and then it was completed. Next day Glynn left for the US, again.

I have seen speculation that perhaps someone else added that new version onto the master, but it appears there are some details missing for the session on the 8th. There is also an entry with him and George on the 7th.

I managed to upload and tag some photos I took.
My apologies, some are out of focus a little.

Just to give you and idea of the the overall exhibit.
I did not photograph every single thing.
But a general idea of the over exhibit.
There were 3 sections showing clips from PJ film of about 10 mins each
from part one rehearsing Let It Be.
from part two at Savile Row
from Part three, excerpts from the roof on a triple screen with the sound cranked loud and 2 subs on the floor.
Perhaps trying to recreate the feel of being on or near the roof.
Hope you enjoy the pics.
I may go back again at a later date.... TBD

Glad you enjoyed them.
The exhibit opened in March. I believe it is expected to run for about a year.
It was really cool standing in front of some of those artifacts you have only seen in pictures.
Fun hanging out with other fans and hearing their stories.

One of the cool things they did was recreate the door from Saville Row,
as seen on the back of a Ringo LP from around '75.

The too a door a frame and made a piece of contact paper with that photo to stretch over the frame.
You'll see it in the pics. Nice looking re-creation
