Rock Band Beatles footage spotted at Coachella [update]

If we've said it once, we've said it a thousand times: Sneaking cameras into concerts is illegal, folks. And so it's with sheer bravado that we've posted the Paul McCartney performance from two days ago at Coachella in California, playing "Got to Get You Into My Life," above. You'll understand though -- we had to -- as you'll see on the Beatles-sized screen behind Mr. McCartney some awfully interesting Rock Band-esque characters backing him up.

Though we can't confirm anything, and there certainly aren't any streaming note charts in sight, we're going all the way out on a limb here and guessing the footage may be our first glimpse at The Beatles: Rock Band (again, sans gameplay). We've asked publisher MTV Games for confirmation and will update this post when we hear back.

Update: Thanks to commenter Comtar for pointing out official confirmation of The Beatles: Rock Band video during Mr. McCartney's set at Coachella, via McCartney's website: "It was a night of firsts and was the unexpected, unannounced world premiere of the images from the coming Beatle Rock Band game which played on vast screens throughout "Got To Get You Into My Life." Looks like it wasn't a rumor after all!

[Thanks, Adam!]

Hyperbole.. Look it up, knowledge is power...

And I'll make stuff up too...

Be careful out there, Don't click on Farseers name because he's a known pedophile.

"Good, good, good. I've been extremely pleased with the beta"

We all know what he means by Beta.

"my wife and daughter will enjoy it..."

Yes, we all know what they will "enjoy"... rapist.

"children are indeed prone to instantly swallowing"

And how do you know that?

Rocketboy, I suggested that people should not check your comment history. I never asked you to share any of it with us. The things you just typed are disgusting, and you should feel ashamed.

Good work, though, BTW. That was a masterfully created out-of-context comment summary. ;)

See below for my reply...

Twat. You can hate Lennon all you want. But still praising a murderer makes you an asshole.

Aargh, meant to be a reply to Rocketboy.

meh..

Beatles = awesome

Beatles: RB = not awesome. Seems like an easy full game guitar FC to me.

You need to listen to some more beatles' songs then.

Even if it does turn out to be easy, doesn't mean it won't necessarily be fun.

do you guys think theres any possibility of them releasing any of the beatles song as downloadable ??

i guess not, but im simply not buying another disc, even if it contains the only acceptable known songs on any music game. :S

"Rocketboy, I suggested that people should not check your comment history. "

"A couple of months ago, he called Osama Bin Laden his hero because he had the strength to take out thousands of rich, drugged out pricks with one shot.

Before that, he called Hitler his hero because he killed... no, I better not repeat it. Just check his comment history.

Rocketboy is obviously misguided and delusional at best, a troll at worst. In fact, I'm surprised he hasn't been banned yet."

"By all means, click on his name for comment history. Keep in mind, though, dude idolizes murderers."

"On second thought, be wary about checking his comment history. It looks as though Rocketboy has anger issues as well as being misguided. That's a dangerous combination.

In fact, tread very lightly - he may well discover that you don't agree with him and seek to end your life. And he'll be glad that you're dead. *shudder"

Yes, you made up things that i DID NOT WRITE, and then told people not to bother checking.

Me, I just posted up things that you wrote. Anyone can check them out by clicking on your name, but just like you don't suggest clicking on my name to prove what a liar you are, I suggest that nobody clicks on your name.

Wow, you must have a lot of free time on your hands. Also, I'm flattered that you're so infatuated with my profile. I'm not interested, of course, but flattered nonetheless.

Yes, you pick a fight with me, reply back Multiple times, and it's me who has too much time.

One cannot reply back multiple times to oneself...

Sigh. And thus ends the counter-trolling. I hope it was as fun for all of you reading as it was for me writing it.

Thanks for making my point for me.

I can't believe I missed out on this... Its all my stupid sisters boyfriends fault for wanting to leave early. I had a feeling something was going to happen "beatles" related :(
