   1.  Tom Hanks & Rita Wilson were sitting next to Paul McCartney on the FRONT ROW !!

 

 

   2.  Neither Julian or Sean Lennon performed !!

Surprised - I probably shouldn't have been....but I was surprised at how exactly Joe Walsh can pull off George Harrison's guitar sound.

 

Disappointed - I thought the Pharell Williams and Brad Paisley did a horrendous job covering "Here Comes the Sun".

1. That they had one.

2. That they had one.

Admit it....you just don't like Liverpudlians!

Good effort PAC, but nope, not really a difference maker. I don't enjoy their music, hated their persona, and they didn't even last 10 years.

Perhaps my strong preference for the Stones has something to do with it!

Ringo & Paul should have put on wigs to mimic their original appearance on the Ed Sullivan Show & an identical wardrobe too. Groovy. Just Kidding!

Bonus points for that clever ingenuity BHC. It made SW1 LOL!

Fair enough....I liked the Stones too, and wound up more of a prog rock Floyd/ELP/Yes/Tull fan as the 60s and 70s moved along.

 

But in 1965 my Dad took me and my cousins to the World's Fair in Flushing Meadows, NY and at the end of the day, just when we thought the fun was over...he popped out tickets for the Beatles show at nearby Shea Stadium.

 

The concert itself amounted to a bunch of flashbulbs and screaming women. I wasn't quite as struck by Beatlemania as the ladies were, but I liked a lot of their songs and the memory holds a special place for sure.

Good choices in there sir. Pictures at an Exhibition and Relics were two of the first albums I owned, and a little later, Fragile. Never owned or listened to a full Tull album, although a song about never being too old to rock n roll rings a bell...

Saw the Stones in the summer at Hyde Park and they were great. Keef had a few lapses mind you, but Ronnie covered him well!
