      I've smoke pot since I was 12 in 1972. I finished school ,Went to collage, and I've had a steady job since I was 12. Im 65 years old now and retired but still working part time, I have 3 children that' work and 3 grand children that' work. Im not bragging but I own 3 houses and life has been good, I believe in Jesús but when I want to smoke pot I do. Nit everyone who smoke s pot are lazy. Lazy people are lazy no matter what they do.I feel sorry for people like you that' believe everything the government tells you. Wake up, smell the coffee, put on some Beatles music and enjoy life like the good lord intended.

    One of the things the Beatles were frustrated about after 1966 is that their music became too complicated to replicate live onstage. But it appears all they needed was simply a fifth member and thirty piece orchestra.

      Scott Anderson,
      There is a Beatles cover band, The Analogues, who go into fine detail to try to play the Beatles songs as close as they can to the original versions live. They also play many of the Beatles songs that the Beatles did not play live, because, as you said, the songs where too complicated to play live.
      This is a link to The Analogues version of "I am the Walrus" on UA-cam.

    It occurred to me the other day that anytime a piece by, say, Mozart or Beethoven is played by a symphony orchestra, that group is, in fact and deed, a tribute band. Most folks have no problem with that. It's the music that's eternal, not the artists.

    One of the best John Lennon songs ever written. Strawberry Fields, too. These guys gave a good performance but nothing can come close to the way I would have liked them to play and see them. Can you imagine if we had more videos of The White Album or Sgt., Pepper's?

    • @quality333
      @quality333 8 років тому +5

      shame they stopped performing live after 1966 . Technology had improved as far as sound in 68 and 69 so it would have been great to hear the Beatles perform live music from Sgt Pepper Mag Mystery Tour and the White Album. espeically in indoor arenas. It sort of took away from some of their legacy when they stopped performing

    • @samgub
      @samgub 7 років тому +2

      yes so sad , they seemed to enjoy the rooftop concert , i think had they decided to do a one off show they'd have realised what they had missed. As you say technology moved on quite quickly within a short time , it would have been possible to replicate the songs with an orchestra etc. The Bootlegs do a fantastic show.
