The date is 30 July 1968 and we find Paul, John and Ringo on piano, acoustic guitar and drums respectively. George spends most of the session in the control room with producer George Martin and engineer Ken Scott.
The video begins with a bizarre clip of a printer spewing out Beatles song titles. The group is then shown running through rehearsal takes of “Hey Jude”, including a brief rendition of “St. Louis Blues”. Following this are portions of take 7 and take 9, ending with Ringo complaining of getting his pants caught in his drum pedal. (John’s answer: “Take ‘em off!”).
