Location: Michigan | this should be very interesting. i know there are alot of people on this forum who don't get the beatles thing but this should be interesting that there will be 2 1/2 hours of beatles songs and that is only touching on the tip of the iceberg of how many songs that they wrote and performed.
what a song list to have if you ever needed top play somewhere, you would never run out in a evening.
what a great piece of history of a band that influenced rock & roll. GWB |

Location: Boise, Idaho | I was an 11 year old conservative and didn't like the long hair, pointy toed shoes, the "yeah, yeah, yeah" lyrics and mostly the girls screaming like idiots. I remember when they came to Milwaukee and the girls tore up the place and even the grass outside as souvenirs. I thought "Let It Be" was a stupid song for our high school class slogan. High school slogans should be about changing the world, not letting it be. I didn't figure out the music until much later, especially George's talent with guitar. His first solo album was one of the first albums I ever owned. |

Location: Tennessee | It was great seeing Steve Lukather there ripping it up with Peter Frampton, Don Was, Kenny Aronoff and so many others in the house band.
Too bad he wasn't playing any Ovations. :-(
What a great opportunity that would've been for the new style O's to get some airtime.

Location: Boise, Idaho | I thought I recognized that guy, but couldn't place him. (Lukather). Most everyone there didn't need any introduction. There was a ton of talent in that room. Even Ringo did a nice job. I haven't seen him perform in years. It's good to see that he and Paul are living the good life.
I also noticed there were a lot of good looking young ladies in the audience. I couldn't figure out if they were wives, daughters or girlfriends of the old farts, or if they were supposed to be celebrities that I didn't know. |

Location: Boise, Idaho | I checked in on the Olympics a couple of times and saw talking heads and some long distance speed skating. The Beatles show was much more interesting. I presume most Olympics fans record it and then jump through most of it. |
