Immaculate.

We've taken too much for granted ... and all the time it had grown ...
From techno seeds we first planted ... evolved a mind of its own ...

Some really obscure Limey beat band with silly haircuts and suits that never went anywhere. They even speak a little German, interesting.



Never seen this before, extremely good quality + German Fräuleins don't scream as much during the songs! Danke schön for not ruining this artifact for posterity!

Embarrassingly, I never knew that they performed Yesterday live. :-[ Are my ears deceiving me or is Lennon even more pitch-perfect and tone-accurate than Macca on the songs he sings lead on?

Ringo cracking up behind his kit at 13:26 as Paul misses a lead vocal is très priceless.  ;D

George Tomsco's Fireballs hung it up last year after a 65-year (off and on) run. This is from 2019.

I know it's cheesy, still love it.



Brad Gillis is an unsung guitar hero.

There is nothing like Italian folk music.

I was assuming I had probably seen that.  But I hadn't.  Even from the first, I always considered John Lennon to have the best voice of anyone in the Beatles.  I think it sounds pitch-perfect and tone-accurate because that's just the way he sang.  I liked Paul's voice, too, but it's his bass playing which completely stunned me.  It was only after George Harrison came out with his solo albums that he became my favorite Beatle/ex-Beatle, though. 

Despite the screw-up on "I'm Down." that was interesting hearing that.  I always liked those songs where Paul moved away from his natural smooth voice, like on "Kansas City." etc.  I'm not sure how far Paul would have progressed doing the song without John Lennon's earnest encouragement. 

This German clip is outstanding.  I don't think there are too many things out there like this.  Of course, when it comes to Germany, the Beatles owed a lot to their Hamburg gigs.  When they went back to England as a transformed band, the audiences could hardly believe what they were hearing.  I think that's when Beatlemania actually began, spontaneously in those English post-Hamburg audiences.

Possibly my favorite song by the Kinks, although there are quite a few good ones to choose from.  It's pretty hard to just pick one.

We cover some Fireballs tunes for the instrumental Mexican project.

I wonder why there's an accent mark on the 'e'.  The penultimate syllable in Spanish is already the default.
