Ol' Donie · 02-05-2014 11:28PM

I'd love if narky George was around to see this!

Skid X · 02-05-2014 11:29PM

George Harrison :eek:

No, he was the nice one, surely.

Every time I hear any of it, I ask myself why I don't listen to it all that often.

(The answer, by the way, is that i have literally listened to it hundreds of times. I had to deliberately work hard to learn to like other bands)

Skid X · 02-05-2014 11:32PM

Ah, this is brilliant

George was a scorpy divil by the end of it. His reaction to Paul's stories on the anthology films tells a lot, even though they're sort of friends by then.

Hey Jude is possibly the best song ever written......

And Ringo is like a small George Michael Action figure...........***hides behind the couch from Skid and Donie***

Here you go,

A live Webstream of the crossing outside Abbey Road

In the Summer the traffic never gets past the Beatles fans trying to recreate the Abbey Road Album cover. hours of fun (in the daytime)

Skid X · 02-05-2014 11:41PM

Francis Albert Sinatra just started on BBC Four (Fabulous Four, the spiritual home of Beebrock)

grey_so_what · 02-05-2014 11:43PM

I love Frank Sinatra.

Saw him in Dublin in the late '80's.....

grey_so_what · 02-05-2014 11:44PM

I melt at Frank's voice......

I love this song too.....

It's brilliant Donie

It's a miracle people aren't killed there. Especially on anniversaries and in the Summer.

Have you done it, Skid? Do people wait their turn or is it a free for all?

Would you believe Lansdowne Rd Donie!.....I think it was 89.........:)

It was black tie in those days for us!

I remember going into Joys in Leeson Street afterwards and heading home about 6 in the morning.......

Happy days!

My God, I'd day that was a good night!

Never knew he played here. Can't believe he played rubbishy old Landsdowne! Wonder what he thought of it!

Oh, it was Donie.

He had never been here. He had played in London in '84 and it was a big scramble to go to see him. I remember my B-in-law going..........

I was so delighted to see him.

Check this out!

The footage from the old clips are fantastic....

grey_so_what · 03-05-2014 12:07AM

I'd have loved to have known the background of Frank S.....

It would have been so interesting to have been a fly on the wall there....

He was quite political in his day.

grey_so_what · 03-05-2014 12:12AM

Richard A had the most amazing voice.....

Wow, that is outstanding!

Does that say Sammy Davis Jr and Liza Minelli were at it too??

Ol' Donie · 03-05-2014 12:17AM

Well, dudes, I'm gonna call it a night. Enjoy the rest of it!

Party on!

grey_so_what · 03-05-2014 12:19AM

The Godfather link will always stick I suppose...

grey_so_what · 03-05-2014 12:20AM

Rock on Donie......

Work on that tape for us!! xxx

I haven't been there, Donie.

I might head over some time, but I don't think there's a whole lot to see, to be honest.

The Beatles Museum in Liverpool is ace, well worth a trip.
