  1. Well Guns is a bit one sided in its presentation. That grade A super A-hole paid his entire band throughout the entire Covid no concerts allowed shut down.
  2. It's the last album that they were all at the top of their collective game. All four were into it and working as a unit. Just listen to anything else released around the same time and you realize they were so far ahead of the pack.
  3. I distinctly remember People Magazine with them on the cover with the question…. Will they reunite for 50 million
  4. When I was a teenager in the 70s I would have given anything for a Beatles reunion. Now in my 60s I cherish the music they made in that short 7 year span and really glad they didn’t continue. It was basically 2 years from She Loves You to Tomorrow Never Knows. Simply amazing.
  5. I’m heading to Tennessee in a few weeks to visit family and was wondering if the Nashville Gibson factory still has tours? Figure if I’m that close……..
  6. The Penny Lane version with the trumpet coda was the British single release. It was included on an album called Beatles Rarities.
  7. Aside from the Get Back Sessions, which took place in Twickenham film studio and in the Apple records basement (so no EMI studio time was wasted). The Beatles were surprisingly efficient in studio through Pepper. Of course they had to be with the touring and movie schedules. If i remember correctly they had a month to write and record all the tunes for Rubber Soul plus a new single for the Christmas sales season.
  8. Sure enough! The concert business will live and die on the interest of long time fans and their disposable income. I've seen just about everyone on my bucket list. Many like Macca, Beach Boys, Joel, Clapton, Elton, Chicago, multiple times. At 62 years I've no interest in spending my entertainment dollars to see them live again. That being said i don't have any issues with a legendary performer's ticket prices or the people that are eager to pay it. Thankful that Bruuuuuuuuce's great great great great great grandkids will never have to worry about holes in the Jordans.
  9. Not for the Get Back Let It Be sessions. The first half at Twickenham Studios was already rented for a Ringo /Peter Sellers movie. The Beatles were given free use until production commenced. The second half was in the basement of there Apple office. However they did rent some equipment from EMI as well as borrowing some of Harrison's home studio equipment.
  10. Beautiful AXE! I've owned a couple SGs including one just like yours (because of the GH connection) but just never fell in love with it. Unfortunately sold them when something else caught my eye. Congratulations man, now go rock some Hey Bulldog!
  11. Information in the age of misinformation can be like hacking your way out of the Amazon . Exhausting at times for sure, but censorship of any kind be it a weed eating pop singer or a stoned podcast host or an ex President the other political party wants stoned is a slippery slope. So there are people in the world that have different experiences and opinions. Sorry Graham that's not the way it works.
  12. Sure just look at the Robert Plant / Alison Krause combo. Originally couldn't see the point.......but I gotta admit it works.
  13. What a coincidence! My younger brother is co-owner of 2 Boston eateries, The Abbey I and II . So I understand how difficult it can be especially through the Rona restrictions. Wishing all the best for your son.
  14. T-Brother, I know it's a trying time for you and your lovely wife but quite possibly the Lord put them there for this very reason. I pray that his hand is upon them and will guide and protect them as they help the people of Ukraine. Cookie
  15. Recently in my little town here in western PA, we had a vinyl store open up on main street. It has some odd hours but seems to be holding its own. Sells mostly used albums but very good selection.
  16. Conquistador there is no time I must pay my respects......... RIP Gary.
  17. The first All Star Band toured in 1989 so maybe it wasn't quite that long ago.
  18. Fender is making another 1000 of em. Going for around $2800 i believe.
  19. Great soundtrack though and after watching it again a couple years ago, clearly it was meant to destroy the teenybopper image while commenting on all that's artificial about Hollywood.
  20. I loved the hidden mic in the flower pot that caught John and Paul discussing their treatment of George and his absence from the project. The historical significance for any Beatles/ music fan is huge and to watch it unfold is pretty special. At first I was disappointed when I heard it wasn't going to be a movie released in theaters but after watching it , Jackson made the right call. Thoroughly enjoyed it!
