Extremely entertaining episode, gentlemen.
First, Toot and a Snore was actually a session for Harry Nilsson’s album, which included Lennon and Wonder, during John’s Lost Weekend with May Pang.
There are several videos of a performance of a group called Yellow Matter Custard on You Tube. That group performed only twice in 2003 in Montclair, NJ, and NYC. They are composed of several successful musicians from the 80’s and 90’s Grunge era. They do an outstanding job covering a number of Beatles songs. Some are hardly ever covered, by anybody.
Found the only picture from that ’74 reunion, taken at Lennon’s beach house, featuring John and Paul sitting by the pool, with Keith Moon in the middle. It’s known as the last picture of John and Paul together.
Thanks for explaining to the uninitiated like me what the difference was between the mono and stereo CD releases. I’m not into the Beatles now nor will I ever be but lately one podcaster I listen to was all excited about Beatles Day. Back in September he podcasted about tracking down the mono box at Best Buy and I didn’t understand what the heck all the excitement was about.
I’m four degrees of separation from John Lennon because when I was living in Tucson I knew a guy who once dated a girl who worked at a restaurant where Paul McCartney ate. She was his waitress a couple times.
Elvis betrayal ? THAT’S BULLSHIT ! How about you guys stick to what you know.
looking at the collage, it seems mccartney is impersonating ron mael from the band sparks.
