When people hear her, they cut her a lot slack because her vocal interpretations are so pleasing. Why not post a little film of one your versions. .

At present nothing worth posting, we perform every weekend in our remote neighborhood which our friends in the area like to come and enjoy. We mess with a lot of other groups material as well, Beatles vocals in the past were always difficult to present, they may have been the first boy band but wrote and played their instrumentation. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ceptorman Posted October 22, 2023 Share Posted October 22, 2023 I think the fact that the Beatles still sell their music and we still hear them in public and in commercials says that they still hold up. It like that for a lot of old classics, It seems like I hear Buddy Holly's music a lot in commercials. I always thought it would be cool if someone re-recorded Holly's music, as long as it was done tastefully. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, It was just him, (McCartney and Linda) with a band. I'm 70 now and can't remember dates, or what year we saw them. I do remember that the concert was for some Anniversary we celebrated and it was at the other house we were at at the time. We've been at this house for around 28 years but I couldn't tell you how long we were at the other one. (I had a brain tumor cancer way back in 88, that screwed up my memory. Sorry.

OK, I asked the wife and she couldn't remember either. She bought a t shirt at that concert and looked. It was called the" World Tour in 1990." The shirt has the band names of all that were in it. but I didn't read them all, You can look them up if you want their names. Like I said, this concert that year was in Ames Iowa. It was the first time we saw Paul. Deb was going to see the Beatles together before I even knew her but she broke her foot and her parents wouldn't let her go. I know her dad died in a plane crash when she was 13. But I don't remember when she broke her foot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All okay 🙂 but you may remember Wings was the name of the band Paul & Linda travelled with way back. I don't think McCartney toured or played US before 1976 - the same show I saw here in Europe a few months before. Never mind - we share good memories. .

They danced, kicked up their legs high had like Robin Hood tights on and large fat bellies. Everyone thought they might have heart attacks doing the concert as then, I could hear real good and their was talk all over of them. In their 70's and they were like a girls chorus line kicking up so high the whole show. Lol. I thought the two best ones we saw were that McCartney & Linda one in Ames and The Pink Floyd Wall concert and it was an Anniversary present together. It was all the laser light show that made it special. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sneaked my way down to the stage in second half and experienced the big white tumbling bricks from row zero - the floor.

Abbey Road does not have the bands name on the album front cover, yet you could go just about anywhere in the world and ask people who they were and I’ll bet about 99% would get it right.

The latter could easily turn into futuristic pieces of music, but the home-tapes would be harder to call Beatles. I'm not sure how George ended up on the comin' track. A horror scenario would be, let's say Dhani and Sean sitting noodling around with collages based on cassette sketches as old men. Sending them out as The Beatle-DNA Project in 2042 😖 80 years after the release of Love Me Do. . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
