Every now and then i check out the Doctor Lev site, checking out people's clues, someone known as wade submitted this;
"On the Ed Sullivan Show, Paul had just finished his solo of "Yesterday" when the camera switches to the audience and back to the remaining Beatles as Paul switches from flat top to bass. Then John says into the microphone: "Thank you Paul, .....that was just like him." Then he introduces the song "Help". This was their last live performance on Ed Sullivan. And if I remember correctly, the last tour before going to studio seclusion and no longer touring.
Further.......In the movie "Help", during the song "You're Gonna Lose That Girl", Paul is in silhouette with George singing backup vocal and playing bass. However, he is ALSO shown playing piano and giving Ringo a wink and a nod, as if to be in TWO places at once! And indicating this with a playful look on his face that he is a "SECOND" Paul."
The second part is intriguing but i'm still yet to see help.
The first part really caught my attention, it sounds like john being his usual quirky self "that was just like him", but it was their last live performance on ed sullivan, after that they just sent in promo videos as a good will gesture.
What if the last performance was to check if bill could go unnoticed as a replacement for paul?
I would be intersted to know if JoJo has this recording in his video library coz i'd love to see it.

That's the one and only JPM performing Yesterday on Sullivan. An outstanding performance too...I think John and the others actually were quite impressed with Paul's abilities, thus the comment. Paul had to play against a pre-recorded backing track, which he did flawlessly.
I'm Down was better live than on record. Indeed, it's this Sullivan show that proved to me what amazing talents the Beatles were, Paul in particular.
There's no question in my mind that Paul was replaced around Fall '66...After Help!, after Yesterday, after Rain, after Revolver.....

I bought the DVD, but getting the Beatle parts out separately was something I never did, it's a total pain. But..I'll see if I can download it somewhere.

No don't worry JoJo, it was out of curiousity rather than necessity.
