Rubber Soul In Shea Stadium??

[milkandcookies]

Well, the game does not show the life of The Beatles era perfectly. But hey, maybe some day, another company will be more precise about stuff like that.

I really need to go back and watch Let It Be again.

I don't think it's so much a "short cut". I think it's a matter of when the game was in production, whether a song worked in a certain context or not. Like Taxman at the Budokan. They weren't performing any songs from Revolver on the '66 tour. But for some reason the Budokan setting for Taxman works. It also might have come down to what was technically possible at the time.

So absolutely NONE of the live Rubber Soul DLC songs would've worked better at Budokan??? Awfully coincidental (and convenient for HMX).

"Taxman" and "And Your Bird Can Sing" were put at Budokan because they were songs from Revolver that the group could've very easily performed live on their '66 tour if they'd actually made the effort... but, of course, by that time they were so sick of playing live/touring they didn't care. I believe some journalist asked them at one of their press conferences on that tour why they weren't performing any of the songs from Revolver and they basically said point blank that they couldn't be bothered to learn live arrangements for any of them. : ?

... for which there's "Honey Don't" and/or "Act Naturally." This leaves Ringo with no vocal spot at Budokan further down the road.

Yeah, I'm fine with all the more acoustic numbers being in the studio ("Nowhere Man" is probably there as well because it's one of their more well-known songs, and, thus, apparently also deserves a dreamscape : /). But I really don't see how a slightly smaller venue (and still much bigger than the Cavern Club and Ed Sullivan Theater) didn't warrant a single additional song there from Rubber Soul.

I would rather have honey don't or act naturally at shea then what goes on but since there isn't what goes on will have to do
