I’ve simply completed watching final night time’s unimaginable documentary concerning the Beatles, which completed with the video to their final ever launch. As you would possibly know, I am the singer in a rock and blues band: we at the moment haven’t got a single Beatles quantity on our sixty-strong set listing. Stones? Heaps! Kinks, Hendrix, Cream, Spencer Davis, however no Beatles! How unusual! Once I mirror on the previous, the primary correct band I performed in (considerably embarrassingly named ‘Crude Oil’) was unashamedly Beatles-inspired. We performed plenty of their numbers and all our self-penned songs sounded suspiciously Beatlesque!
Within the band photograph, be aware that Terry is enjoying a Hofner Violin bass – similar to Paul’s! And within the pretentious photograph of me within the Sgt. Pepper jacket (all of us had one!) you would possibly make out that I painted colored circles on my Watkins Rapier – similar to George’s Strat in Magical Thriller Tour!
I need to see if I can persuade my Synergy buddies to do a number of Beatles numbers…
