When I was in my teens/ twenties I lost count of the adults that said the rock and pop stars of the day would never last.
Fast forward 50 years. Last nights Grammy Awards Nominees.
Paul McCartney
Black Sabbath
Rolling Stones
David Bowie
Led Zeppelin
Wings
Herb Alpert
Kenny Rogers
Dolly Parton
Ravi Shankar
Adults, What do they know. :)

The highlight of the night was seeing the two remaining Beatles together for maybe the last time, as a totally dedicated Beatles fan from the age of 13, who queued for many hours to get tickets to see them, who bought every single, e.p. and album they ever made, including the Wings stuff when they split this was totally magic!
-
Macca and Ringo are supposed to be doing a TV show next week to commemorate
The 50th anniversary of the Beatles first USA gig.
Its in America but we should get to see it.
Theres a lot on the news channels tonight about last nights Grammy Awards
-
I wish I could look into my cristal ball ( because I certainly won't be here) and see where the likes of 1 Direction and " Lady" GaGa are in 50 yrs!
-
Whooooo.??
Oops, i'm thinking like an adult now.
-
My two least favourite Beatles, shame the best two have passed away.
-
I am a total Beatles nut, but I wish someone would tell Paul McCartney he can't sing anymore. It's bloody painful listening to him these days.
-
Coming from Liverpool I know quite a lot about Paul McCartney, probably why I never liked him.

I wish someone would tell Ringo Starr he can't play drums anymore.

I'm off to watch The Zombies, The Animals and The Yardbirds tomorrow night. I seem to remember hearing about them once (upon a time).
-
In 1963 I paid 5/- to see Eric Burden and the Animals at a local church hall.
The church kitchen menu consisted of orange cordial,cups of tea (taste-free)
Wagonwheels and Smiths crisps (with a free blue bag of salt).
Have a good time Colwyn and I hope menus have improved.

In the early 60's I queued outside the Astoria Finsbury Park all night to get tickets for the Beatles Christmas show, Paul was and is my favourite Beatle. I saw the Yardbirds, The Who, The Kinks, The Byrds, and many others, some of whom played in the local pubs around Edmonton, North London. I remember at one gig, Keith Moon arrived two hours late, was totally off his head, and still managed to play for 2 hours before smashing up his drum kit and storming off stage. Those were the days!!!
-
Did you see the Dave Clark Five Echogirl ? They were local to Edmonton,and their hit Glad all over knocked the Beatles I want to hold your hand off the top of the charts in 1964 :)
-
I was in the Animals fan club and remember having a Christmas card signed by them all... Wonder where that went?
Echogirl, hope we meet up in Calis one day. I would love to have a chat to you about Paul..I bet you would get a shock..
-
I would never give the Dave Clark Five a chance, the fact that anyone could suggest they could knock the Beatles off their perch caused me grief. Jacqui, am out in calis end of May, but don't think I could deal with Macca being knocked off his pedestal, would be unbearable for me, nearly 50 years of adoration would be very difficult to cope with!
-
I will be there the end of May too, don't worry I will let you keep your dreams.
-
A very tiny claim to fame is Paul McCartney threatening to smack my bum when I was about 9, ( he was taking the mickey out of my mum at the time, I hasten to add!!)
-
Have a good time Colwyn
Thank Kevin. We seem to be on a bit of a nostalgia kick. On Saturday it's a gig by Paul Jones (ex Manfred Mann) and Dave Kelly. Then a few weeks after that Janice Ian and Tom Paxton.
-
I do like to see the proper people from the old times, these tribute bands are all very well, but people like Paul Jones, Ray Davies etc. who were and still are good, cant be beaten by the rip offs. Having said that I did see the Bootleg Beatles once, if I didn't look at them and their crooked wigs I could almost believe I was back in 1964. Mind you I'm not sure the rest of the audience appreciated my singing, back then we took it on ourselves to know every line of every song!! Am thoroughly enjoying the nostalgia as well ;D
-
A club I sometimes use book some good groups from my youth.
The likes of The Ivy League
The move
The fortunes
Paper Lace
Idle Race
The rocking Berries ect.
The resident group,Mike Sheridan & The Nightriders has included
Jeff Lynne & Roy Wood in it's line-up in the past & for a few years
became The Bruvvers to Joe Brown. "Proper music" and a good night out for about a fiver. (plus drinks)
-
I liked Paper Lace too Kevin. My favourite song of theirs is Agadoo.
-
Billy don't be a hero!!
-
Black Lace, Agadoo, keep up Keith ;) :D
-
Yes I didn't know, honest ;)
-
The thing I most admire about these guys is the way they just
effortlessly go from one instrument to another, Harmonica,
Keyboards, Bass, Lead, Keyboard ect. Pure talent, they've
come up the hard way, not manufactured.! ;)
-
So agree. And don't mention The Monkees!!! I well remember they were once touted as the next Beatles!!!
-
Coming from Liverpool I know quite a lot about Paul McCartney, probably why I never liked him.
Bit judgemental, don't like him because he came from Liverpool. I know the feeling.

Takes me way back to one of my earlest gigs at York Uni, I think Peace will Come" had just come out. Always loved his monlogues as well as the songs, Bayonet Practice was a peach!
