When I was a young child I was not that into the Beatles until 1969 or so when they visited San Francisco -- which I missed, being so young -- I love 3,15,21,24,25,28,32 and 34 even though they're all great tunes. Yes, I was a Paul McCartney & Wings fan too.

Scotman February 04, 2011

By the way, last year or so I saw an original Beatles white album at a record store -- yes they still have them in my old neighborhood -- going for $100!

As I recall it, The Beatles stopped touring in 1966--although george Harrison dropped in and visited San Francisco in '68. If you want a really expensive album try finding an original copy of the butcher/babies!

Scotman February 17, 2011

yes, 1966, that's right. I was only 10 and could not go. :( Yes, that would be a great album.

I had a ticket to the concert in Jacksonville in '65 but a hurricane passed through between us and them and we wound up calling off the trip. Boy was I pissed. I could have taken the train along with a group sponsored by a local radio station but I thought it would be cooler to stay overnight and that ultimately screwed us.

Scotman March 08, 2011

Ouch! Yea, I was way too young. And then when Paul McCartney played at Candlestick, I think it was in 2010 or 2009, the $100 tickets for the cheap seats scared me off.

Scotman March 08, 2011

In my local area there are several vinyl record shops with these old records now. They tell me vinyl pressings are still done by modern rockers today, but in small batches compared to CDs. Even CDs are on shaky ground now with MP3 players and such.

QUEENBFLIX March 08, 2011

I can't even relate to that. I only paid $15 for the 3 day weekend of the Atlanta rock festival which featured almost all of the same groups that appeared at Woodstock.

Scotman March 09, 2011

I hear you! All major concerts around here are quite expensive. We have a rock event in Golden Gate Park every year and that's the only inexpensive (cheap) one we have. We had Joan Baez last year! Too bad I missed it.

QUEENBFLIX April 02, 2011

The tickets for the Beatles concert I missed cost $3.

As you could have guessed, I love all of Lennon's work, though I'm not that fond of The Beatles themselves. You do have some great stuff here.

QUEENBFLIX December 30, 2010

Then you should dig around more in The Beatles stuff because a lot of it wasn't really written as collaboration.

Paul annoys me frankly. I really can't imagine how he and John stood each other since their ideologies and personalities are so different.

QUEENBFLIX January 05, 2011

Everyone says the wrong two Beatles died. They started out with more in common and grew apart like people do. Who knows, as John became more of a romantic they may have grown a bit closer again.

Count_Orlok_22 January 05, 2011

I don't know. Paul grew more commercial and more conservative over time as John went the opposite direction.

QUEENBFLIX January 05, 2011

"Double Fantasy" was a very commercial album full of "silly love songs".

Count_Orlok_22 January 05, 2011

I'm not a big fan of that album either. I prefer "John Lennon & Plastic Ono Band", "Imagine", and "Some Time in New York City". You know, the earlier more political stuff.

QUEENBFLIX January 05, 2011

Yeah, but that last album is what I meant about how he was changing and how they might have possibly been able to grow back together--John was mellowing out.

Count_Orlok_22 January 05, 2011

Maybe mellowing out musically, but not philosophically or politically. Remember, that album came out after Nixon was gone and Vietnam was over. Had he lived to see the Reagan era, I think we would have seen that fiery activist spirit come out again. Damn, I wish he had.

QUEENBFLIX January 05, 2011

Even if it hadn't come out, I wish he had.

Count_Orlok_22 January 05, 2011

Yep. : (

QUEENBFLIX January 05, 2011

Indeed. ;(

wow!! great compilation you have here, Karen. You know I can't remember # 35.... :(

QUEENBFLIX December 23, 2010

It's really the same song as #34--"So this is Christmas/ and what have you done/Another year over/A new one begun/ And so this is Christmas/I hope you have fun/The near and the dear ones/The old and the young/A very merry Christmas/And a happy New Year/Let's hope it's a good one/Without any fear.

woo-hoo!! we going karaoke, Queenie?

QUEENBFLIX December 24, 2010

Come on over to my daughter's house. Last year the boys got Beatles Rock Band for Cristmas.

Count_Orlok_22 December 26, 2010

#35 was a John Lennon song. Not Beatles.

QUEENBFLIX December 30, 2010

So were 31 and 32. #33 was a George Harrison song. I included some solo stuff just for the hell of it.
