Act Two Scene Two: Rolls 22-A + 55-B

Show me that I'm everywhere, and get me home for tea

The Beatles slowly enter into the psychedelic mysteries which lie at the heart of the song. George and John bond, discussing the relationship "All Things Must Pass" has with Timothy Leary's Psychedelic Prayers, itself based on the Tibetan Book of the Dead. This all of course directly relates to John's 1966 masterpiece "Tomorrow Never Knows".

George again indulges (twice) his bromance with The Band, before returning to rehearsals, this time focusing on Paul and Ringo.

Act Two Scene One: Rolls 14-A + 50-B + 51-B

Paul: “Emma, Seccy, Meggie Seccy, Emma, Emma Seccy... Emma Seccy Megga, unintelligible in the ballrooms... Imagine. Emma, Seccy, busy, busy, busy... you can see him on telly then. Ob La Di..Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha... Ring, Ring"

The fantastic and strange morning warm up show continues with the band's tour de force performance. It includes an incredible warm up three movement improvisation, additional improvisations which are quite bizarre and hilarious, several “oldies but goldies”, and comedy covers of their own and other peoples songs.

This is one of the delightfully weird Beatles warm-ups of all-time.
