Thread Name: The Beatles--40 years!!
Subject: RE: Folklore: The Beatles--40 years!!
Heard 'Love me do' on Radio Luxembourg one evening in a quiet pub in Blandford Forum, Dorset in 1962 - it made me ignore the girl I was with, just had to listen to it. It reminded me of Sleepy John Estes' 'Drop Down mama'. Saw them in Bournemouth in 1963 (they did a week at one of the towns cinema/theatres, Gaumont, I think.'She Loves You was there new single) They were superb and I was impressed by the way that John, Paul and George shared all the announcemnets and all three took turns to sing lead vocal. Oh, and Ringo did a solo song, and John wore a corny false beard most of the time.
