I sure enjoyed The Beatles

on TV last night.
Letterman, Ringo and Paul were at the studio were they had performed on the Sullivan show and asked about how they decided what tunes to play...then he listed off some tunes, stopped, looked at them and stated, "you know...just those are a whole career for a group".
I enjoyed all of it.

It sure was fun.  There were a couple of spots that weren't as stellar as the rest, but very enjoyable over all. 

I agree Jan. Many or most of the performances weren't styles that I care for but I would sure liked to have been there.
Not doubt there were some guitar pickers there.
Joe kind of messed me up...I can't stop thinking that I need to build myself a white Strat. I guess I won't be satisfied until I have one of every shade and color LOL.
 
 
Drew...I thought Paul and Ringo were both great. They both made it a lot of fun and I'm glad to see they can still make great music that people enjoy.

It was great, although Yoko reminded me of a wind up monkey that bangs cymbals. 

No, no...  That's not nearly loud and annoying enough to describe her. 

Did they look like this?
 

I thought only Paul was not wearing shoes?  
 
I can't believe that I missed this last night.  A guy at work who knows that I am a die hard fan walked into my office first thing this morning and said...."So did you see it?"  I was like....."NOOOOOOOOO...I completely forgot that it was on last night."  I hope that my TWC look back is working on this one.  Maybe I can look back and watch it tonight.

PBS  had a very informative show called "Produced By George Martin".  The Beatles' stuff was a big part of it, of course.  They also talked about The Goons, Cilla Black and other British Invasion bands that he worked with.  I'd completely forgotten that he worked on Jeff Beck's "Blow By Blow".  It's worth a viewing for Beatlephiles. 
 
It's a few years old and isn't hard to find.  I'll try to post a link later on. 

I thought it was great.
 
That said, I thought there was a huge divide between what was and what is. Really pathetic actually.
I mean, compared to "The Beatles" that were ,everybody that covered one of their tunes on the show, well, sucked.
In particular (and I hate to say it) Stevie Wonder. What a hack job he did.
 
I thought Katy Perry was pretty good.
 
The whole thing just reminded me of basically the difference between analog and digital. I think it's taken over the stars of today. Their souls have become digital.
 
The one kid who did a solo act with acoustic and voc was phenomenal. But, it just sounded like there was nobody home. Just the notes, done to perfection. I do believe his guit part was lip synced per se.
 
Anyway, bla bla bla. Paul was great. Ringo was great. (Ringo had a blast:)........
I always forget what a great bass player Paul is. 

Here's a place that I found Sir George Martin's show.  I can vouch for the streaming video--my PC sucks at that.  It was interesting to see footage of tape loops stretching across the studio.

It's also available on blu-ray from Amazon.  I wonder if George was invited to the Beatles' show.

I walked past Yoko Ono in the West Village a couple of years ago. She was with a kind of fawning, slurping entourage. As she approached and it slowly dawned on me who she was, she immediately gave me this kind of sneering, threatening look which said "I see that you're looking, don't you DARE attempt to smile or say hello."

I'm used to getting this look from women in the West Village, but usually from younger, hotter ones. Not 70-something ex-groupies.

I would have run screaming 'cause you never know when she may start singing screeching. 

I know. I already have tinnitus. 

Annie Lennox I liked!

Is there a hydrant on the other side of the street?  

Becan naturally.
(Duh.) 

Well, that's two of us then.
