Also we happened to get into the entryway ofthe arena during sound check and they were doing "honey hush" "driving rain" and "my love".

Scord...I was in the entryway as well, trying to look my my kids who were driving in seperately. I wonder if we were in the same lobby..there are like 3 there. I heard the sound check as well, and I've never heard so many gaps in the songs before--they were definately having to make some last minute adjustments.

Oh yeah..and that was so cool about the thumbs up. YES!!!!!
We got a wave from about 10 feet away in Cleveland in 1990--I'll never forget it.

Musically, in my opinion, AS PLAYERS (and I never saw the BEatles live, but Ive seen film), this band is better than the Beatles.

No. I won't throw arrows either. Certainly this band is excellent.
Certainly we can probably all name better musicians than ANY of the Beatles.
BUT (and this is a big BUT) any of those other excellent musicians were not as talented songwriters, nor do they have the "feel" that J, P, G or R have. George Martin has often commented that they each were instinctively brilliant musically.
Paul has talked about John strumming "rather earnestly on the C chord" in Tommorrow Never Knows. Certainly any excellent musician can play better than that, but that same artist could never write Tomorrow Never Knows or the bizarre intricate rhythum and meter patterns in Happiness Is A Warm Gun. Or the beautiful haunting slide guitar work by George. Phil Collins complimented Ringo's excellent drumming in A Day In The Life.
Yeah, I like this new band of Pauls' very much.
But, give me those Beatles any day.

Auj--I was afraid someone might misread the post. Not sure if you did, but here is what I meant....As MUSICIANS they are better...no question. As for songwriting and the intangibles of course The Beatles are the best ever.

Steve - I have no reason to find any inclination to believe that Aujouret misunderstood the contents of your manual discourse on the concert to which you were a party the other night. I happen to be of the opinion that she understood with total clarity the point you were attempting to convey to those of us reading this, and that her opinion of the musical prowess of the assembled performers at said concert is equal and equivalent to the opinion held by your good self.

Well, Thanks, Liam, for clearing that up. Do u know BOTR1?[:D]

That's what I said. You and Auj agreed on that fact, about their performing qualities.
