The Beatles at The Cavern August 1962
"However, I prefer their pre-1967 output to their post Sgt Pepper output."
Me too. Actually I liked what they did through Rubber Soul and Revolver, I wasn't a Sgt Pepper's fan. And some of their later stuff was terrible.
"Arguably the most talented band in rock history."
That's what their fellow British musicians sure thought at the time, some of them names we know well. They found the Beatles' talent intimidating.
I have an old transistor that can pick up 650 from here in E. TX.
My older siblings saw the Beatles play in 1964 at Forest Hills, NY. The said there was so much screaming you couldn’t hear the music.
“Lennon was a sociopath and a frustrated homo.”
Yoko is a guy?
I do too! I think the Beatles were great!
Here's a couple clips I found on youtube which I found quite interesting. The first one is a bunch of famous people (including some Beatles, some Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan, and several other "stars"), having a lot of fun doing an old Beatles song.
The next clip is part of Mick Jagger's speech at the induction of the Beatles into the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame, also many years ago.
"Mick Jagger Inducts The Beatles - Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Inductions 1988"
George Martin was the perfect producer too
Kinks
The Who
Moody Blues
Dave Clark Five
Most talented overall....Yardbirds
Small Faces
Zombies......one of my favorites
Troggs......
Animals.....lotsa hits
Spencer Davis Group....
Manfred Mann
Herman’s Hermits
It was a fine time.....
A brief side note -- with just a little tweaking and doctoring up of the lyrics, this song could be turned into a sort of anthem, in response to this current lockdown/quarantine/homebound-isolation:
"We Gotta Get Out Of This Place" - The Animals
GM was something else.
