The Music Box

[Vince Evert]

Good on you Moxie. Well done to you and also to Britbox on the second quiz. You know your music. The next one will be a quiz and a theme attached to it. See you next weekend then.

Good stuff @Robert Zimmerman - these are good. By the way, I thought I knew who the last song was but I was completely wrong.

 

[Moxie]

Looking forward to it. Hopefully we can rope some more folks in. Meantime, I will just think of my 10-year-old surfer dude who picked me out to dance at a California campground party. *sigh*

 

[Vince Evert]

Good on you britbox. Good to see this Jon English song (one of his best) available on YouTube. His 'Essential Collection' 2 CD has re-entered the charts at #23. Man, I cannot believe Jon was unable to breakthru in the US or UK market.

John Lennon radio promotional interview for the Beatles 'Abbey Road' album -

Rodderick with Kim Carnes live at the LA Forum December 19 1981. Interestingly this has been edited out on the 'Tonight Hes Yours' home video.

 

[Vince Evert]

This one. Must've been lifted from a DVD as it's much improved audio than my VHS copy. 'Tonight's the Night' still missing however (this was performed between 'Tear me up' and 'Passion').

John Lennon radio promotional interview for the Beatles 'Abbey Road' album -

Is there a chance of the Beatles ever playing live again?

There's always a chance.

^ Atrocity did a cover of The Sound Of Silence too.

Incidentally quite different than the rest of the album but it's one of their lightest albums really. Below is another song from the same album -|-\m/-|-

Good on you britbox. Just found this Beatles tribute by none other than Harry Nilsson. I've only just started finding and playing his pre-70's tracks. But this is cleverly done with parts of other Beatles songs featured as well. I'm sure you'll like this one -

Rod's 'Absolutely Live' double album is on YT. Enjoy. LOL a cassette tape that runs 75 mins on one side. Too funny.

 

[Vince Evert]

George putting the finishing touches to "Something" seeks help from both Lennon and McCartney.
Fabulous stuff.

Living Legend, Fats Domino - a Rock n Roll music pioneer - his version of 'Lady Madonna' is quite delightful -

 

[britbox]

Living legend indeed. Fats is the man. My old man had a bunch of his stuff... didn't know he collaborated with the Beatles. Thanks for the post.

 

[britbox]

Always liked this one of Rods, and it's maybe an easy call.

Good on you mate. Did you have a look at thebeatlesbible and keith flynn elvis pages website links i posted here last week ? Just found some unusual Bee Gees tracks singing the Beatles songs (must've been lifted from a boot). "Ticket to Ride" is the best.

 

[Vince Evert]

Guess this must've been 1964 from the "Bandstand" TV show. Great to find rare and odd stuff like this -

I would almost swear that was the Beatles singing, not the Bee Gees... even down to the Scouse twang. Great cover.
