The miracle is how four guys of such immense musical talent could be from one city, astonishing.

I don't think there will ever be another Beatles.

I was wondering when someone would comment on the Beatles? Paul McCartney was here last night at Minute Maid Park! Bob what do you think of Paul's base playing? I have played with some base players that said he is hard to duplicate!

That might be because Paul's Hofner bass was out of tune for over twenty years, before he had the bridge fixed.

Minute Maid Park? lol

"Well I better not show you where the lemonade is made".

(everybody dance !!!)

Cap'n Minute Maid Park is the new stadium built for the Houston Astros about 10 years ago. The Astrodome is setting there rotting away as our city leaders fight over what to do with it. We as tax payers are still paying for the renovations Bud Adams FORCED the county to do by threatening to take the Oilers to Tennesee and we all know how that turned out. Bud Adams that name makes me WANT TO PUKE! Anyway the old timers (of which I am now one) want to keep the Dome. At one time it was considered the "8th WONDER OF THE WORLD" and the fact we are still paying for those renovations. We want to utilize the structure for other uses. The other half of the city wants to tear it down to make way for parking for the domes replacement which is right next door Reliant Center!

no one comes even close to the beatles. on SO many levels. mccartney has always been on my short list of all time great, great bass players. a perfect model of how to be creative, inject plenty of personality...and STILL make it work within the confines of the SONG.

lennon is largely overlooked for his bass playing, but he was no slouch either. playing simply (as lennon often did) and using the discipline to not overplay or try to play like Mac...using his great feel and a skeet shooter's sense of time...pretty impressive if you ask me.

those clips from the Let It Be movie are wonderful keepsakes. the tension between them at the time is so obvious and palpable but still....they are able to play so incredibly well together. their groove and hookup was always spot on.

The version of Long And Winding Road from that movie (btw...my favorite beatles breakup tune) breaks my heart and pretty much leaves me bawling w each view.....lennon's bass playing is just perfect. the restraint and discipline he summons, and those perfect little slides he tosses in....just perfect.

This is one of my favs. as well Mark! In fact I was listening to it thru headphones last night!

I don't and never have understood why the sports teams who USE the park and charge us to come to it can't seem to pay for it themselves.

I find it insulting that taxpayers ultimately pay for these stadiums, other corporations buy naming rights, and sports teams get away with using them for mostly nominal fees and we're charged an arm and a leg to go to any event at them. And if sports teams don't get their way, they threaten (and do) to leave. Fine with me, GTFO.

It's yet just more example of the wealthy elite using corporate welfare (taxpayer money) to build something to make money off of (more money from the taxpayers).

I won't go to them anymore. Morals won't let me.

They are maybe the top Rock band of all time. I get that.
I live for " live " music though ..... they are just OK live.
Yeah ... their early days of playing were before PA systems and all that ...
They are a studio band in a way ..... a great one at that ( give me Zep or Floyd though )
Music - for me - is a in the moment thing ....
I want this ... Interplay between musicians .... some passion ... some sweat

They tore down Tiger Stadium and I refuse to ever go to that corporate welfare monstrosity Comerica Park.
