Default Beatles 50th Anniversary Show on CBS

I watched this show and I must say the performances were excellent. McCartney hasn't lost much off his fastball.

The Beatles changed America and the music industry forever. It felt like the show was ten minutes long, and it was two and half hours. Gotta get those commercials in.

I would be interested to hear your thoughts about this show, and what you liked best!!

It was a really good show. Shame John and George were not there. It would have been nice to have Julian do a song of his fathers, but unfortunately the only son attending was Sean,. I saw Paul a few years back. front row. My wife attended two of the famous Shea Stadium concerts. Her father was in the movie business and got her tickets. I like Stevie Wonder but wasnt thrilled with his rendition. Worth watching. Her Joe? We seem to have more in common than baseball. I will be getting in touch with you within a week or two.

about the stevie wonder rendition but I thought the best was done by John Mayer and Keith Urban with their dueling guitars. Can't remember what song they did but it was exceptional. IMHO

Tommy:

I wll look foward, to hearing friom you.

I loved the show, so nostalgic. George was always my favorite, but Paul sounded great. I usually like Annie Lenox but I didn't care for her on the song she did. Never liked Stevie Wonder. Every couple of years I pull out the movie A Hard Day's Night and get all nostalgic.

"While My Guitar Gently Weeps" with Joe Walsh was excellent. The crowd was on their feet.

Can't imagine how they could have none it any better. It was absolutely fabulous (except for maybe Annie Hill's matronly looking dress !).

Great show,brought back a lot of memories. I was in Singapore on HMS Bulwark when I first heard the Beatles and thought they wouldn't last. Shows you how much I know about the music business. Stevie Wonder should have stayed home.

We loved it all EXCEPT Kati Perry's rendition of Yesterday. I made my ears hurt!!! But everyone else did a wonderful job honoring the Beatles.

I'm looking forward to seeing someone's DVR recording. I was busy last night with a little celebration of my own. I've nothing but great things about it.

If you need another Beatles fix, you can get one every Friday morning at 10:00 at the O'Dell Rec Center.
