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!

Sounds and looks great. Can't wait!

GIBSONS J-45 sunburst acoustic, 2018 Les Paul traditional, 2020 Les Paul classic, Firebird,

I've bought all of the late stage Beatles box sets, as well as owning every album in just about every incarnation released. (except 8track which I hated from its beginning) Most of this material has been bootlegged for years but I'm a sucker for any enhanced audio of these classic. Mainly because as stated earlier Pepper and The White Album were like hearing something entirely different. I was also interested in hearing the Glyn Johns album that was rejected by the Beatles. (perhaps a little to raw and possibly a shock to their ears) In the end 3 weeks to write, record and perform live ,this new material, was too much for them. All in all , after listening to it for a couple days its a great addition to my collection. P.S. The blue ray disc does use the red apple pic. So it's there in the multi-disc set.

Beautiful!

If you’ve ever sung in a band or musical group you owe a debt of gratitude to the brothers. Two of rocks originals . RIP

Always good to see another old timer pop in from time to time. Hope you and those close to you are doing well.

Ahhhh those were the days......

Don Felder February of last year.

Yes, She looks at guitars as art and loves when I'm looking for a new one. She's also become my concert buddy since my brother got married 8 years ago. We've seen some great shows together, McCartney, Billy Joel, Brian Wilson, Paul Simon, The Who, Brian Setzer, The Police to name a few. For years she came out on weekends to hear me play in the clubs. She's my biggest fan and the love of my life.

Hofner Violin Bass (just like that lefty from the Beatles)

The difference was Brian Wilson had complete control in the studio from the start. Don Kirshner ran the show on the early Monkees records and had the music for the first album and TV season in the can waiting for the newly hired band to put the vocals on. Tork told the story of how he showed up with his guitar for the first session and Kirshner asked him what he was doing? Of course a line was eventually drawn with show execs Rafelson and Schneider siding with the band and giving them total control to make the music.

I don't know. He's been an extremely successful producer of movies, music and videos along with his songwriting. I'm not buying the being a Monkee was a curse BS. Of course when your Mom invents White Out and becomes a millionaire it softens any career missteps you might have made

Come on, I was 6 when they debut and I knew it was a TV show. They were ripped by the media for doing nothing worse than the Mamas and Papas, Beach Boys and Birds were already doing. They did eventually play all the instruments on their third album.

They've been touring every couple of years for a long time. Since 86 and with a little help from MTV, its been Mickey ,Peter and Davey, with MIke joining in for the occasional one off. Seen them several times and had the honor of meeting them backstage after meeting Mr. Jones in our airport as he came into town for their show. He gave me and my family free tickets and backstage passes and couldn't have been nicer.

Listening

Very nice! Looks like a different guitar in every pic.

16 guitars and 5 amps

NEARLY HUMAN is my all time fav Todd album and Parallel Lines one of his best songs ever. Saw him a few years ago when he toured with a DJ and 2 female backup singers / dancers. Every song was done in dance techno style. Now i'm a huge Todd fan but it's the only show I ever walked out on and I had front row seats. Awful.

He's a guitar geek like me.......I love him!

Lately it's been all Christmas stuff. Learning some new arrangements of old Christmas standards, like going full out jazz on "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen". Keeps 'em interesting. We have a small ensemble that plays every year at a coffee shop the Sunday before Christmas. Very low key/ low volume but the folks there seem to love us. Word of mouth is an amazing thing and it gets more attention every year.

Well I recently bought a double sided Belgian waffle maker and they are delicious. whipping up some this morning for my wife and grand daughter.

Congrats T! Fine looking guitar there. Enjoy.
