Tough keeping up with this thread. A few of my favorite Beatles covers...
Fanny - Hey Bulldog
Jerry Garcia Band - Dear Prudence
I think I posted that Jerry cover last thread. Do yourself a favor and spend 12 minutes with it.
I guess this is as good a place as any to mention that Fanny was featured in the New York Times today. A documentary on them is coming out soon.I was going to post this if no one else did!
They were an INCENDIARY live band -- the entire Beat Club performance that this comes from is on Youtube and I can't recommend it highly enough. Their studio albums were defanged by comparison because sexism.
ETA: Young and Dumb sounds like an ungodly fusion of Janis Joplin and Black Sabbath.

The interview was great. The tour sounds like the same idea as side 1 of his Faithful album (1976), which I mentioned earlier in the thread that I found disappointing.
On this day in 1966, The Beatles released “Paperback Writer” b/w "Rain" on 45rpm. The song was released as the A-side of their eleventh single and it topped singles charts in the United Kingdom, the United States, Ireland, West Germany, Australia, New Zealand and Norway.
TIL something about the cover
Anybody else see it?

Paul and Ringo were the only lefties in the band, but this cover suggests otherwise.On this day in 1966, The Beatles released “Paperback Writer” b/w "Rain" on 45rpm.

Great photo of Paul & Mick.
I'm so glad that Wikkid spread the love, and turned us on to them. It is definitely joyous hearing them. They were "raw" and just learning to play in that video. They have come a long way since.Beautiful, simey. Perfect. I knew who that first link would be without clicking it. He got so much joy out of them and brought that joy to share with the rest of us.

Great story as usual.wikkid Beatles-related post in the Great Works Draft that I just came across
that brings me back. my folks useta farm me out to relatives in Dun Laoghaire (port of Dublin) a few wks every summer that they could and, in '69, my cousin Tom graduated from school (after 10th gr over there, lucky bastards) & among his gifts was a quality one of those single/cartridge players, where u could slide a 45 in like a cassette & it wouldnt even skip if u swung it around. the 1st single he bought was "&The Ballad of John & Yoko" we'd go to the beach and play that song til the battery wore down. well, nuns were everywhere in those days, including the beach (where, between their habits & the sticks up their butts, they reeeeally looked like penguins). we walked by a nun who was apparently familiar with the sacreligious nature of the lyrics (Christ, u know it aint easy/u know how hard it can be/the way things are goin/theyre gonna crucify me) and the chorus came up as we passed her. when she heard "Christ" comin out of that lil box, out came her massive beads & she flailed me poor cousin like an albino priest til he dropped the thing, picked it up & thrashed him with it til it was as broken as he. he got a black eye & a ton of bruises but u know who would have been charged with a crime if the authorities were brought in, dont u? aaaah, nostalgia just aint what it useta be....
In the mid 90's I started doing some video editing. One Saturday my brother Tim invited me to his son's basketball games. I thought it would be a good opportunity to do my first video project, so I brought my video camera and filmed away.
I'm sorry about your brother's diagnosis, ek. I hope he still has some beautiful days ahead, and the time he has left is filled with endless amounts of love. My thoughts and prayers go out to all of you.Two days ago I found out that Tim has Stage 4 prostate and bone cancer. He's only 59 years old, and he's always been the healthiest person I've ever known. He never smoked, rarely drank, worked out every day, and always had a perfect diet. Ironically, it's that perfect health that may have doomed him. His Doctor never ordered a PSA test for him. After all, he was in perfect health, had always passed the rubber glove examination, and there was no history of prostate cancer in our family. So a very treatable form of cancer went undetected for several years, allowing it to metastasize into his spine, ribs, femur and groin. And now he has one year to live. For every man over 50 reading this - PLEASE get a PSA test every year, even if your insurance doesn't cover it.
What I love most about the Beatles is their ability to see day-to-day living and find perfect beauty in it. It's the same thing I love most about my brother. Thank you all for listening. I decided to post this in this thread because I feel a kinship with you, and I thought some of you might find meaning in it.

Tim is the greatest person I've ever known, and close to perfection both inside and out. The kid has movie star looks and the kindness of Mother Teresa. His wife is beautiful, his three sons are beautiful, and now he has 4 grandchildren that adore him. My nickname for Tim has always been "Mr. Perfect".
Back to the mid-90's. As I edited the film of his three sons playing pee-wee basketball, it felt like a slice of heaven on earth. I remember being very emotional about it. The hardest part in creating a music video is always the song selection. As I watched video of Tim interacting with his family and friends, these words came into my mind - "In my life, I've loved them all." I had my song, and the video I put together was just about as perfect as Tim. It was the perfect marriage of art and real life, and I imagined Tim watching that video as an old man in his 80's and feeling so fulfilled.

The Stones are missing their drummer and bass player. The Beatles only have a drummer and bass player left.
He should have text you.As some of you know, I had to postpone my London/Liverpool trip to October. Was supposed to arrive in London last Friday and go to Liverpool tomorrow (or almost today, Liverpool time). Guess who's in Liverpool right meow? If he is still there when I was scheduled to be there, I might actually die.
