Q: “How did you come up with that Rickenbacker riff for ‘Ticket To Ride,’ one of the most distinctive Beatles guitar signatures ever, which appears on Anthology Volume 2 in an August 1965 live version? Was the riff conceived expressly for that song?” George Harrison: “Yeah! But John was just playing the song to us on his rhythm guitar, and I had the 12-string Rickenbacker. It was also something to do with the fact that my part on the guitar was hooking into Ringo’s part. So when I came up with that little staggered riff, it dictated or gave Ringo the cue to play the part that he does. It had a big effect on Jim McGuinn, as he was named at the time — but Roger later — and a lot of other people. Even me. Years later even *I* thought that the Byrds had invented it! I forgot. [Laughter] In the books about Rickenbacker guitars, McGuinn talks about how the Byrds went to see A Hard Day’s Night at the movies, and they stayed and watched it through twice, saying, ‘What’s that he’s playing?‘ Afterward, they got the Rickenbacker, and that’s where they got that jangly sound I’d come up with on ‘Ticket To Ride.’ They also got Gretsch guitars like ours, too. McGuinn’s kind to always mention it.” - Billboard, March 1996 (x)

Ticket to ride is a railway-themed board game where players collect and play train car cards to claim train routes across a map.

If you sit around on Ticket to Ride till people leave, and you eventually win, fear me. I will sit here as long as it takes. Feel shame, you foul beast—feel your cowardliness and lack of testicles. I am coming for you, and my patience has no limit when it comes to prevailing against losers. Do not play if you can not truthfully play, child. It is me against the evil forces.

Snippets from Ticket To Ride, by Larry Kane, a reporter who accompanied the Beatles during the 1964 and 1965 US Tours:

- My own positive relationship with the Beatles was formed early on. Despite my cynical scepticism at the beginning, I became a fan, not only of their professional personas and their music, but also of the individuals they were. What impressed me most about all of them was their indisputable naturalness and, to varying degrees, the depth of their humanity and their lack of phoniness. Another unaffected aspect of their behaviour that was special to watch and be around was their relationship to each other.

- At one point on the tour, as I interviewed Brian Epstein, I mentioned how he seemed so protective of the Beatles. "Well, it is a simple proposition," he explained. "They are special. I believe in them. They should not be compromised or taken advantage of in any form."

- The Dallas police brandished their rifles openly; this was the first time in America that the Beatles had seen rifles at the ready. I got the impression that we would be well protected on this leg of the tour, but the raising of rifles only reinforced the anxiety that the Beatles were feeling. The expressions on their faces, their eyes wandering around, gave me the feeling that they were concerned about their safety.

- On the flight to Ohio, the Beatles seemed joyful. Paul walked up and down the aisle, winking that Paul wink and acting as host of the day. At one point, he stopped by some members of the group Exciter and said jokingly, "Coffee, tea or me?" On the plane Paul was also the biggest walker. He didn't like being confined.

- I knew we were in big trouble when the upholstery of the car's ceiling [started] getting lower, closing in on my face. By sheer force, the eager crowd, jumping on and pressing against the roof of the car, was pushing the metal roof into a dent that evolved into a sinkhole.

Ringo's smile was a wonder to watch.

- The next morning I discovered that the Beatles, or someone in their party, had urinated on the carpets of their suite at the Edgewater. This was the apparent 'plan' Lennon had mentioned to have the last laugh - or in this case the last drop - against local merchants who had planned to cut the rug up and sell it.

- I realised for the first time that this sceptical, cynical reporter was beginning to fall for the music of the Beatles. I was even humming out loud along to the tune, and I continued to do so throughout the evening. Was it the repetition, the hearing of these songs over and over, or was the music beginning to stir my spirits? Whatever the reason, listening to the music was making me feel happy. (Aug 64)

- I was curious, "How many of you have tickets?" Only a few raised their hands. Once again, hundreds, maybe thousands for all I knew, were travelling - and travelling without a chaperone - just to get close to the Beatles. Remember, in those days, teenage girls travelling alone without a parent or guardian was unheard of, but on this ride they were legion.

- Watching Brian Epstein watch the Beatles in complete absorption was one of the most educational sideshows of both great tours. He truly loved their music.

- Much has been said about the static between Paul McCartney and John Lennon after the breakup. But on our tours, we saw nothing but a sensitive closeness between all of them.

- Brian Epstein and Derek Taylor were initially prohibited from getting in making them quite upset. Epstein was also furious that day because Ringo wasn't wearing a tie.

- One of the girls got through and made a wild dash for the elevator. She tripped on a rug and fell to the floor, trapped beneath the weight of two cops. It looked like a football scrimmage. The tape of my conversation with the girl is missing, but I will never forget some of her words. She said, "They're all scumbags, those cops. They suck." She got up, dusted herself off, left the hotel and made it to the street, where she received a round of brief applause from her soulmates.

- The flight from Cleveland to New Orleans featured a magnificent pillow fight, with Lennon and Jackie DeShannon leading the combatants. It was fascinating to watch John Lennon leaping up and down the aisle and - with that eager smile and those penetrating eyes - toying with the pillows and his targets like a five year old in a playground. Practically everyone aboard got involved until a flight attendant, giggling uncontrollably, broke it up.

- One vivid image I'll never forget is of an ice-cream vendor who stopped in place, stared at the Beatles on stage in front of the grandstand and started crying. I said to him, "Is something wrong?" He replied, "No, their music just makes me very happy."

Epstein: I'm very much a Beatles fan. I've probably felt everything that any, um, male Beatles fan ever felt. All the various things I've liked, I think, is what the fans have liked, both in their music and their general manner. To me, in terms of popular music, the Beatles express a cross quality of happiness and tragedy. And this is basically what the greatest form of entertainment is made up of. They in fact do original things. Their songs are always new and different. So are their performances.

- Suddenly I heard the smashing of glass and watched the people inside the lobby rushing toward the windows. When I arrived by the windows myself, the scene was ghastly. Three girls were lying on the floor, bleeding profusely from head and facial injuries. A fourth was up on her feet and trying to stop the blood flowing from her knees. The force of the crowd had pushed these kids through the glass.

- One of the press cars, the one I was in, had a brief upside down experience. Overzealous fans mobbed our vehicle, began to shake it wildly, and ended up rolling it over onto its side. We remained stuck inside for several minutes before the highway patrol were able to right us.

- Ivor Davis (on seeing the Beatles meet Elvis): "We stood a few feet away, trying not to make them feel like prize horses at stud being watched over the fence to see if they'll mate."

- The flight to Indianapolis was subdued, but thankfully it was also short and uneventful. […] Travelling down the aisle later, John broke out a big smile and said, "So how are the nameless, faceless, unidentified news whores doing tonight?"

- Paul was the master host, providing a welcome that made the extremely nervous fans at home and comfortable. In Baltimore, I watched three girls and a boy leave the dressing room and, in the hallway outside, break into tears. They were tears of relief and joy.

- In a corner, John sat quietly and reached into his jacket for his cigarettes. He pulled out a thinner cigarette from his pack, a marijuana joint, and thumbed his lighter to start it. But before he was able to light the joint, Brian Epstein took a quick detour away from chatting with me and a few others, walked over to John, and glowered at him, shaking his head. John slipped the object of his desire back into his jacket pocket, pulled out a legal smoke from his pack, and lit up.

- Art Schreiber: "They were lonely, isolated from the world, both on tour and at home. They couldn't go anywhere. Remember, aside from all the fame and glory, they were young men, barely out of boyhood. I've always been a pretty tough reporter when it came to the people I covered, but let me tell you, they were terrific. I actually started feeling close to them. They really opened up. I was also impressed with how bright they were. They knew how to treat people. They were terrific."

- Paul would look left and right, and wink to a face in the crowd. It was a sexy form of eye candy, tantalizing the crowd with his head gyrations. Paul was a world class flirt when it came to the fans. And they loved him back.

Kane: Will you ever be anything but the Beatles? Paul: We are the Beatles, that's what we are.

#tantalising the crowd with his head gyrations! #for some reason Brian being furious because Ringo wouldn't wear a tie was the highlight of the whole book for me #it's a great book for getting a real sense of these tours #you get a real feel of the noise and the chaos #and the boredom #and it's interesting when he talks about the differences between them in 64 and 65 #lots of quotes and bits from people who went to the concerts too #beatles books #the beatles #brian epstein #ticket to ride #larry kane

Just played Ticket to Ride while another group was playing Ticket to Ride Europe and boy do I have some Honorverse headcanons for it!

Thus, here's the cracky Havenites all play Ticket to Ride Space Edition.

Eloise's poker face gives her an advantage and the bloc of lightly allied (much in the way of glances is employed to ensure that the Navy can block the Commissioners from winning) RHN officers keep struggling to read her. Except Javier, who unofficially isn't a part of the secret naval alliance.

Strategic thinkers take longest route every game.

Shannon uses math and pathfinding to run the odds for everything in her head.

@stitchlingbelle I think you'd like this?

One of my favorite things about Ticket to Ride, aside from the actual song, is John and Paul's statement about it.

According to Paul it's about their hitchhiking trip and according to John it's about prostitutes.

Hello! I remembe you have posted George's that interview (second paragraph), Dave Rybaczewski's discoveries about master tapes might be interesting too, because some people don't believe George:

Although many sources credit Paul playing the distinctive opening riff, listening to the master tapes shows it was done on the rhythm track along with the bass guitar, which was impossible for Paul to play at the same time. It is also apparent that the riff was played on a Rickenbacker 360-12 string, which was owned and played quite regularly by George. - Dave Rybaczewski John was just playing the song to us on rhythm guitar, and I had the 12-string Rickenbacker. It was also something to do with the fact that my part on the guitar was hooking into Ringo's part. So when I came up with that little staggered riff, it dictated or gave Ringo the cue to play the part that he does. It had a big effect on Jim McGuinn, as he was named at the time - but Roger later - and a lot of other people. Even me. Years later even I thought that the Byrds had invented it! I forgot. [Laughter]. In the books about Rickenbacker guitars, McGuinn talks about how the Byrds went to see "A Hard Day's Night" at the movies, and they stayed and watched it through twice, saying, "What's that he's playing?" Afterwards, they got the Rickenbacker, and that's where they got that jangly sound I'd come up with on "Ticket To Ride." They also got Gretsch guitars like ours, too. McGuinn's kind to always mention it. - Billboard, March 1996
