sox4lifeinPA Posted February 6, 2004 Share Posted February 6, 2004 apparently music didn't exist more than 40 years ago...and only REALLY did for a short 6-8 years....hmmm, interesting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texsox Posted February 6, 2004 Share Posted February 6, 2004 my god...ringo is so short! LOL, that was from when they were an indie band. For about 45 seconds I've always wondered how much a factor Kennedy's assisination had on the Beatles welcome to America. The time of year, the mourning period almost over and America looking for something, anything to feel good about again. No doubt they would have been big stars whenever, but just like we make jokes to release tension I believe we saw an enormous release of emotion that had been bottled up for months. We allowed ourselves to be happy again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Texsox Posted February 6, 2004 Share Posted February 6, 2004 I love Frank Sinatra.... I remember one night crusing Michigan Avenue and LSD in a convertible with the top down listening to ole blue eyes. Oh what a night. Late December back in 63, what a very special time for me, but I digress. It actually was a decade or two after '63. It was the first time I spent any quality time with this women. Next morning she left for her home in New York and took my tape with here. We argued briefly if New York, New York or My Kind of Town was better but agreed that Vegas was probably his favorite place.

Queen Prawn Posted February 6, 2004 Share Posted February 6, 2004 Blathering about? Bite your tounge I said blathering because I was thinking about the evening rather than whatever he was talking about on the radio. Don't worry, I like the Beatles!

I remember when Frankie and I were banging Ann Miller and Debbie Reynolds in the ladies room at the Tropicana. I said "Chariman, how about some mood music?" He started singing "Summer Wind". I shed a tear. Good times. P.S. Joey Bishop watched the door for us... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlaSoxxJim Posted February 6, 2004 Share Posted February 6, 2004 LOL, that was from when they were an indie band.

No doubt they would have been big stars whenever, but just like we make jokes to release tension I believe we saw an enormous release of emotion that had been bottled up for months. We allowed ourselves to be happy again. There was an NPR piece today interviewing the author of "The Beatles in America," and he made that EXACT point. Kenedy had only been assasinated three months earlier. The country had lost a young, charismatic, exciting president. With the Beatles arrival, a lot of the gloom was swept away at least to the point the air was not thick with it. Listening to the piece I again got to thinking about how amazingly rapid the musical maturation and evolution for the Beatles was. To think about the appearance on Ed Sullivan in February 1964, and it still amazez me to even fathom that the same four people could have gotten to the point that only 3.5 years later, in June 1967, they could put out something like Sgt. Pepper. This is all the more amazing given the frantic touring schedule that persisted until George said enough in 1966, shooting two films, doing all the publicity stuff etc. I keep reading posts by certain musical eunichs about the Beatles being overrated. That is just not possible, they changed the rules like none before or after. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that Gallas' Beatles band? I have heard they are a good, if not great Beatle band, but I have not seen them myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted February 6, 2004 Share Posted February 6, 2004 What did everyone think of Twist and Shout at Soxfest? I thought they were okay, but I wasn't overly impressed. I like them a lot actually. They do one of the best mixes of sound, voice, and show of anyone I have seen. Usually the groups are really weak in one area or another, but they are pretty balanced. I really like the guy who plays Paul. He even has the mannerisms, and stylings down to a T. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think their outfits could have been done better and changed according to the time period the songs were from. They did sound good with their harmonies though.

They did sound good with their harmonies though. I have actually seen them do a show like that. I don't know if they stayed more with the early music to be family friendly or not, but I have seen them do a show split into two parts where they dress and play early, take a break, and then come out in the Sgt Pepper costumes and play the 2nd set. Very cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
