Notes: This was the third day of rehearsals at Twickenham Film Studios. Most of the morning was spent on jams, improvisations,
and going through oldies. Notable were: "The Palace Of The King Of The Birds", a Paul McCartney instrumental which would be
recorded years later for the unreleased Ruper The Bear soundtrack, "You Wear Your Women Out", a blues improvisation led by
Paul,"My Imagination", another improvisation where Paul performed some Primal Therapy-style screaming.Some original compositions
were also introduced George Harrison`s "Hear Me Lord" and "For You Blue", Paul`s "Carry That Weight" and Ringo Starr`s "Octopus`s Garden".

Also, John Lennon decided to re-introduce "Across The Universe", recorded in 1968.In the afternoon, The Beatles continued
working on "Don`t Let Me Down" and "Two Of Us".And towards the end of the day, Paul taught the band a new song, "She Came In Through The Bathroom Window".

Thanks to The Paul McCartney Project for the notes.
