50 Years Ago Today, Everything Changed ... (Page 3) StuckInTheSixties: Amazingly, adam is right about "Blue Moon Of Kentucky" ... sort of ... "In 1995, the remaining Beatles - Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr - performed an impromptu 4/4 version of the song that was eventually released on the Bonus DVD of The Beatles Anthology video release. McCartney had earlier performed and released the song in 1991 as part of his appearance on MTV Unplugged." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue_Moon_of_Kentucky  larryhemeon: Thought he may have, starving Musicians, rats, do anything for a meal. I thought the last time beatles were togather they were high, on a building.  Geoff: That was the last time they all performed together. Lennon died long before the 1995 performance. And even if he lived, he quite possibly wouldn't have attended. Victor Smith (rather unkindly in my opinion) once said that the Beatles were dying in the wrong order after George's death. When you consider this: you might feel he has a point.. larryhemeon: Calused thing to say under any circumstance, no same opinion, I did like that one frog, you know the one with the hat.  lavendar_star: I love the Beatles esp John Lennon even though I was born decades after. Here is a great documentary I watched marking the event on the BBC( I hope you foreigners can watch it I know there is some times restrictions) But its about their first single and the story about that it includes the poor schmuck: Pete Best who got kicked out of the Beatles in favour of Ringo ( he is featured in the doc) and how apparently their manager brought records of their single to ensure they hit the charts and that another dude is playing the drums in the single not Ringo. . (Edited by lavendar_star) larryhemeon: What a time, I remember goose bumps on my arms and the hair on the back of my neck standing when I heard their music, we did the best we could to replicate their music in the garage, much to my parents dismay. Thanx star  beachy1: I remember i was only little and i was dancing around in the kitchen singing "Help." My uncle had the new albums delivered and didnt want me 'singing along with his new one' so he told me I would "need help" if i didnt get outside. lol jink88: I was a true British Invasion band follower. Remember these bands...Dave Clark 5. Hollies, Kinks, Chad & Jeremy, Freddie & Dreamers, Zombies and my personal 3 favs. Spencer Davis, Manfred Mann and hard to beat The Animals loved their songs and Eric Burdon. StuckInTheSixties: There was a half-hour afternoon television show called "Where The Action Is" ... en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Where_the_Action_Is ... that I would watch that had all of the latest hot music artists. Check out the wiki article, and look at the amazing list of Guest Performers... jink88: sits...I think we could get that show when I lived in the city. Just viewed the site and the guest list is atonishing. Names I haven't heard in ages ie Them, Wayne Fontana, Blues Magoo and even the Buffalo Springfield which launched Neil Young. When you remember those songs from that era they were awesome and often had something important to say. larryhemeon: I do remember "Where the action is" wasn't Paul Reveer and the Raiders" the host band or was that shindig, Its bad enough that I am old enough to remember those days but so old that in forget, ooowwww trouble StuckInTheSixties: Paul Revere and the Raiders were, indeed, the "house band" for WTAI. Their bass player, Phil Volk, was nicknamed "Fang" for his teeth, and had a signature move on that show of flipping his bass over, showing the word "Fang" on the back side. I thought that was the coolest thing in the world. larryhemeon: Yes, thanx for jaring my memory, Dick Clark the host. Your kinda like the walking encycolpedia of rock and roll. (Edited by larryhemeon) larryhemeon: Soupy Sales, Black Fang and Spookey Tooth OOOOwwwwwwrrrrrppppp rrroooooooooooooooooo always with 3 fingers beachy1: yeah, i have been wondering myself, my fingers are crossed for him.
