Bump, because The Beatles thread should not be on the 5th page.


NP: Back In The USSR (What album is this song on?)

White Album^^

NP:Maybe I'm Amazed(Paul McCartney,close enough to the Beatles)

[QUOTE=WelcomeToTheMachine]White Album^^

NP:Maybe I'm Amazed(Paul McCartney,close enough to the Beatles)[/QUOTE]

Maybe I'm Amazed is a great song. It sounds a lot like the Beatles. In fact, I think it would have been much better if it was recorded by them. I could see John adding in some nice vocal harmonies, and George improving that guitar solo, it could have been a lot like Let it Be if they recorded it together. Still a great song though.

[QUOTE=leppermessiah]Cool, I think I should get a Lennon shirt. I think the next thing I'll look for is a Jethro Tull shirt, though.[/QUOTE]
I got a Tull concert shirt.

Woot woot.

:naughty:

Anyone picked up Macca's new album yet? Technically not Beatles I know.. but it's close enough :D

Also who's seen Concert For George - that's supposed to be excellent?

So....who was the 6th Beatle again?

6th? I only know of 5....

Yeah, the 5th was George Martin?

[QUOTE=JonG]Yeah, the 5th was George Martin?[/QUOTE]

So 6th could be Brian Epstein, Pete Best, Billy Preston, Stu Sutcliffe... One of those guys.

I was thinking of Stu because he was in the band for awhile.

[QUOTE=Jacaranda]I was thinking of Stu because he was in the band for awhile.[/QUOTE]

Pete was in the band longer than Stu.

Billy Preston moreso than Stu and Pete combined

Oh, ya thats right Pete was the drummer, I haven't read a Bio on them since 7th grade.

[QUOTE=Walrus Gumboot]Billy Preston moreso than Stu and Pete combined[/QUOTE]

Billy Preston is really cool. He was like 13 when the Beatles first met him.

[QUOTE]Also who's seen Concert For George - that's supposed to be excellent?[/QUOTE]

That is sex on a DVD. It's so great. If you don't have it, do yourself a favor and pick it up. The first half is all Harrison's indian music, but the second half is AMAZING.

Jeff Lynne, Dhani Harrison, Eric Clapton, Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr are just some of the people I can think of off the top of my head.

Whats wrong with indian music?

Concert for George.. what exactly is on there? is it george playing? the beatles playing? footage of george or a tribute to him?

Seems like it'd be a tribute if its called a concert FOR george..

It was a tribute concert that was performed after George's death.

I saw the end of that concert on PBS once, it looked ok. I didn't any spectacular performances.

I'm going to this Beatles tribute band called 'Rain'. Anyone seen them live?

Ive never heard of them, but when you see them, be sure to write i review. Id personally really like to know how it was.

Theirs a popular tribute band called something like The 1964 Tribute (Not sure though) thats sopposed to be really good. Their coming here i believe in Febuary, and ill probably go see them. Anybody heard of these guys or Rain?

How the hell does everyone see these good things on PBS. Whenever I turn to PBS it's a nature or kid's show.

You need to catch it at night. usually around 7 or 8, or if its a long broadcast (like for the live aid dvd), you can usually get them on around 6

Sixties week: 26-29 of Sept
The Bob Dylan Documentary, "No Direction Home" shown over two nights, starting on Mon Sept. 26

If it's not on where you live, I suggest you hightail it over the NY/CT border

Yea, I knew the Dylan documentary was on. I'm definitely catching that. Didn't know it was '60s week though. Cool.

Apparently, they're the "world's greatest beatles tribute" But they always say that..

I watched the mp3s. They looked pretty good, but it's hard to tell anything from 30 seconds. Have fu. Tell us how it is. I might have to check back to that site to see if they come to NY.

Their show is in January.. so it'll be awhile.

Rain is quite a good tribute band. I saw them, and thought they did a great job.

On the topic of band shirts, my dad used to have a huge collection of authentic shirts, because he ran a concert venue in Berkeley. But, they all died in the fire. Sad face.

Hey people, I just saw McCartney in Tampa last night. Just to let you know, Paul fell into the piano pit that was opening up behind him...fell right on his @ss, but got right up and continued like a pro. Then a freak stormed the stage in the the end,...hugged Paul and was tackled by security..what a scary moment if you where alive and conscience in 1980...


Anyhow..a great show, he played "too many people"...rare thing, BTW.
