Here’s video from Kotaku showing the folks at Harmonix at their rooftop party in LA at E3. No wonder they were all hoarse at the end of E3… they were playing Rock Band for nearly a week straight!

CNET reporter Daniel Terdiman was able to catch up with Chris Foster, The Beatles: Rock Band lead game designer, at E3 this past week to find out how the game came together.  Without spoiling the whole article, it sounds like George Harrison’s son Dhani had a large part to do with it.  Being a big fan of Rock Band, Dhani envisioned a Beatles: Rock Band game.  He approached Alex Rigopolous, Harmonix CEO and co-founder, about the concept, and with Dhani in his corner, he approached the shareholders at Apple Corps, including Paul, Ringo, and Yoko.  Needless to say, it ended up being made, but head over to CNET to read the rest of the story.

It seemed like most of E3 was devoted to The Beatles: Rock Band, but Lego Rock Band was also there getting some face time. Gamespot was on hand getting some of the details for us. Watch towards the end (at about the 9:00 mark); looks like some of the bugs still need to be worked out! Looks great, though!

The Beatles: Rock Band and a few of the Harmonix staff make a brief appearance on Jimmy Fallon last night as Jason Sudeikis from SNL tours E3.  Pretty good stuff…
