Lennon’s 1968 songs Revolution, became the underground symbol of Prague’s youth culture in their peaceful revolt against the Communist state. The Beatlemania exhibition at the National Museum in Prague will runs from June to January 2011.

I believe that I can finish the whole “Story” level of the game in one seating, yes I do. The latest level of the game that I have cleared is the Abbey Road 66-67 but Budokan stage is my favorite since most of my great Beatles songs (at least for me) are included in the playlist – Day Tripper, And Your Bird Can Sing, Taxman.

Here are the other stages of the game that I have ‘conquered’:

• The Cavern
• Ed Sullivan Show
• …
• Budokan

Last time (yesterday?) I posted the game stats of the very first game play. I played the “Beginner” songs in the “hard” level. This time, I tried the “Apprentice” songs in “Hard” mode and again, the songs from Beginner but this time in “Expert” mode.

This time, I didn’t not include the top (overall) player (that’s edisinsane2 right?).. What I did this time is I wrote down the numbers after each song.

Check it out!

The Beatles Rockband Beginner – Expert Mode

• Hello Goodbye – 93% – 43 notes streak
• Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds – 92% – 52 notes streak
• Within You/Without You Tomorrow Never Knows – 75% – 38 notes streak
• Yellow Submarine – 93% – 70 notes
• Come Together – 92% – 70 notes

I notice that in Export mode, the chords forms in the hand are much more similar in as if you’re doing the actual chords compared with Hard mode. The shuffle in Come Together is where it is most noticeable.

The Beatles Rockband – Apprentice – Hard mode

• If I Needed Someone – 81% – 25 notes
• — 96% – 125notes (amazing! First time played)
• Eight Days A Week – 85% – 58 notes streak
• I am the Walrus – 86% – 70 notes
• Something – 79% – 20 notes
• Do you want to know a Secret – 93% – 55 notes

Of all the songs listed above, Do you want to know a Secret is the song that most resemble the actual chords of the song, specially the G#m, Gm,F#m progression.

Check it out! Will try playing it later tonight! Yuhuhhh!!

Here’s a latest promo for The Beatles Rockband before it officially become available in September 9, 2009!

In a 30-second clip that we’re not exactly sure came from this decade, MTV Games/Harmonix preview upcoming music/rhythm game The Beatles: Rock Band by way of a big party on Abbey Road. No, we don’t mean the street itself, we mean that the enormously famous album cover got turned into a big ol’ 30-second party in celebration of the upcoming game. Other than a somewhat creepy faux John Lennon around the halfway mark, this commercial provides yet another reason to be more excited than ever for the day that the Dreamcast turns 10.

How ‘The Beatles: Rock Band‘ Was Born – article directly taken form MTV site http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1619850/20090828/beatles.jhtml

Ever since 2005, when the original “Guitar Hero” made a splash in the rhythm-gaming market, there have been a few bands people have been dying to see in a video game. The Beatles were one of the bands on a lot of wish lists, but no one really expected that they would be willing to license their music out for use in a rhythm game. But, improbably, the release of “The Beatles: Rock Band” on September 9 will see their music on PlayStation 3′s, Xbox 360′s and Wii’s around the globe.

We caught up with Josh Randall, the creative director behind “The Beatles: Rock Band,” to find out how the game came to be.

“It all started around a chance meeting between Dhani Harrison [the son of George Harrison] and Van Toffler, the head of MTV,” Randall recalled. Harrison was apparently a big fan of Harmonix, the developer of “The Beatles: Rock Band,” because of their work on the “Guitar Hero” franchise. MTV had just acquired the developer, so Harrison was wondering what Toffer thought about doing a rhythm game with a full band, rather than just guitars. This was right around the time Harmonix was already hard at work on “Rock Band,” a game that offered just that.

Toffler suggested that Harrison meet with Alex Rigopulos, Harmonix’s co-founder, to talk about the game. Randall saw that meeting as the birth of “The Beatles: Rock Band.” “In that meeting, they started joking: ‘Oh, yeah, we should do a Beatles game, that’d be cool.’ And then the more they thought about it, they realized, ‘Yeah, that would be cool, we should do this.’ From there, Harmonix and MTV Games approached Apple Corps and got the conversation rolling.”

From there, it was just a matter of bringing all the parties together. Randall came onboard in late 2007, when he was charged with making a demo video to show the “shareholders” at Apple Corps. “The shareholders are basically Paul [McCartney] and Ringo [Starr] and Yoko [Ono] and Olivia Harrison,” Randall said. “So we worked with Giles Martin, the son of Sir George Martin, who produced most of the Beatles’ catalog, to get a few songs in ‘Rock Band’ to see how they would play.

“We bundled it all up and headed over to Abbey Road Studios,” he added. “There, we met with the different shareholders and showed them what we were thinking and started talking about ideas, and they thought it was cool. Things just progressed from there.”

Sure, you could sit on your butt today, thinking about how The Beatles: Rock Band won’t be available until September 9. Instead, why not head to a participating Best Buy store today between noon and 3:30PM (EST) to check out the game early?

Harmonix and MTV Games are offering a chance to play an in-store demo build of the game for today only before it hits retailers in a few weeks. There’s even “special hosted demo events” at certain stores “where you can ask questions about the game, learn some tips-and-tricks, and more” — we’re hoping the “and more” is sensual massages from Sir Paul McCartney himself. Peep the whole list of participating stores right here.
