I see you have a twelve string... Nice!

That's actually my friend Kevin's, 12string, But I have 1 too.
We did 5 songs from the Help album 0 I've Just Seen a Face, Ticket to Ride (I played 12 on that), The Night Before, I'm Going to Lose That Girl and Help. Many audience members told us after that we were the best act - probably because ours were all up-beat stuff, not long slow stuff like many of the solo performers had.
At the end we got everyone back up on stage for a rousing sing-along version of Ob-La-Di Ob-La Da, and Greg Hawkes was next to me playing a melodica (think that's the name of it).
Fun time, but I ended up being stage manager, too, so a lot of work.

Hey You guys are the first group I have heard (Aside from the Beatles) who got the vocals right on that song LOL! Nice job on the harmonies and backing. (Might want to polish the falsetto parts a little)

Great Job!

Thanks, but there's no need for 'polish' - this was a 1-off event. There's a benefit every year, but if we're invited for next year, we'll have a different set list.

My Beatles tribute band is also doing Help, of course, and the lead singer is better on the high parts - we're still working on all the harmonies - there are some good 'how to' videos on youtube.

I really enjoyed that.

Live music is the bomb.
