What was the first Beatles song to exceed 3 minutes? (Don't look it up). It was She's a Woman, right?

Not "Give Peace A Chance" or "All You Need Is Love". Two hints...... Focus on John, he didn't play many live gigs after the breakup, and he only played a handful of Beatles songs. 2nd hint, which may confuse or give away the answer, it's a song that Paul sang lead vocals on. Sounds early, like I Saw Her Standing There.

Yes, I Saw Her Standing There is the correct answer, the only Beatles song that was performed by all 4 members after the 1970 breakup. Paul's obviously played it a bunch of times, George and Ringo played it during the Hall of Fame induction, and most surprisingly, John played it on Thanksgiving 1974 when he joined Elton John onstage at Madison Square Garden, his last public performance. A great piece of trivia that might get you some free drinks at a bar, or maybe just to impress a pretty girl. |

I had no idea George and Ringo did it. But it was the Elton show that made me think of it.
For the over 3 minute song, it was a 1965 single.

Yeah, with George and Ringo, it was part of the ensemble jam that usually happens at the end of the night, it wasn't like it was just the two of them playing it, yet it still counts. For the other question, how bout Ticket To Ride? |

She's a Woman came out before Ticket to Ride and I looked and according to wikipedia She's a Woman was their first song over 3 minutes.

A lot of conflicting info out there. The graphic Of the Capitol B side label of I Feel Fine shows She's a Woman as 2:57. The Parlophone single does not list the time. I heard the Ticket To Ride fact on the SiriusXM Beatles channel, and both are mentioned around the web, and You Really Got a Hold on Me may be over as well.

Yeah I just remembered reading that She's a Woman was their first over 3 minutes, but a quick look at Spotify and Wikipedia and they both say You've Really Got a Hold on Me is 3:01, so who knows.

On March 25, 1968, the last episode of The Monkees' TV show aired. It was titled "The Frodis Caper," and was directed by Mickey Dolenz.
In the beginning you hear The Beatles song "Good Morning, Good Morning". This was the very first time that The Beatles allowed one of their song to be used for a non-Beatles project.

There's a story floating about that says The Beatles were very interested in obtaining the film rights of Lord Of The Rings back in the day, with the goal of all 4 members appearing as important characters in the film. The lads already knew who each one wanted to play in the film.
Solid gold prices to anyone here who can correctly guess which Beatle would portray which character from Lord Of The Rings. In their own way, each one kind of makes perfect sense.
Good luck, and don't look it up, thanks.

Paul - Aragorn Ringo - Gimli John - Gollum George - Gandalf You get half a ding ding, you got two right. George wanted to be Gandalf, makes perfect sense. John wanted to be Gollum, another one that really seems appropriate. You got Paul and Ringo wrong, try again. |

Paul - Legolas Rjngo - Frodo Getting more in the ballpark, but wrong on both. One hint, both are hobbits. |
