Hopefully those links work for you.

Show went well, attendance was a little off this year, I think because there were so many musical events happening on Saturday in this area. People have to start looking at scheduling better!
The 'star' of the show was a 7-year-old boy who did 'With a Little Help from My Friends' solo to open up the 2nd half of the show. We also got him back to play the big grand piano on 'Birthday' and as we reprised With a Little Help for the big sing-along finale.
Another gig in 2 weeks at Massasoit College in southeastern Mass, and the 'Scrambled Eggs' are on hiatus again.

Didn't really care for the Magic Mystery Tour intro, but everything after that sounds great. Good job practicing Mike.

Me neither, but its not my band, so not my job to make the calls. The erstwhile leader (lead guitar) was calling out the starts all way too fast. And started the 3rd song before the 2nd song - everyone had a set list in front of them, too.

I've been saying that all along. This Beatles thing is a once-a-year charity benefit gig (this year we're doing one more benefit), and the 5 of us do not live close to each other, so we only had 5 practices this year - and the final one was too short because the drummer and lead guitarist were late and the lead singer had to leave early because his mother-in-law had had a stroke the night before.
The sound guy (also a volunteer for this event) had some stuff messed up on the soundboard, too, so the monitor mixes sucked, but we played through and the audience loved us. When you can get people standing up, clapping and singing along on your big finale, it's always good. The videos above were the first 2/3 of the show, but the whole thing was videoed with 3 cameras and audio recorded direct form the board onto multitrack. It will take the guys sometime to get it all mixed and edited.
