Amazing how they turned around on the stage without much help from roadies!

The best part to me though, the music is awesome!

 I have seen that before great stuff! to funny watching them rearrange the stage, they do it in remarkable humor. I see stuff like that and I long for the days when all you needed was a 50w amp and a Hofner.

Very cool, I really enjoyed it.  Not just simple amps and guitars, look at Ringo's kit!!!!  I miss those days too.  The drummer from my former group must have had 7-8 drums and I don't know how many cymbals.  I don't miss helping him set that crap up!!!!

They're music still sounds good after all these years. Funny how only one mic was working (or low volume?) and they managed to all three of them sing & play in it so tight.

 Can you imagine a pro act putting up with those mic and stage issues today ?????  Where was Mal? Axl would have had a aneurysm.

And remember: They learned all this in Germany.

And don't forget that Paul's Hofner is a product of German engineering.  ;D

LMFAO! When The Beatles came back from Hamburg people though they were a German band. That version of I want to Hold Your Hand was done as a thank you to their German fans, recorded in France I believe and appeared on the American lp  Something New.

Admittedly, the contours of the Höfner owed more than a little to the EB model of an American guitar maker whose name is lost in the mists of time.


But the Beatles haircut ("Pilzkopf") is an original all-German design. Much like our Wehrmacht helmets in fact. With just a little debt to French existentialists.

That's why the intonation was off, and he finally had it corrected a few years ago, right?
