Tetchy Terminal, have a drink.

And to Simoan. You actually brought up a fairly good point. Naturally I’m agreeing that during the Beatles period he wrote his best material. What I don’t agree is that he basically did nothing for the next 51 years. However, all our tastes are different and one should not critique, including myself, any song just because they think it sucks. I actually liked Mull of Kintyre. You hate it. Fair enough. I grew up on Cliff Richard, Elvis etc and then the Beatles and I cannot stand Cold Play. Generation thing, I don’t know.

Talking about Cliffie(keep your knickers on Tetchy, (yes he has nothing to do with Glastonbury)250 million records, albums, sold. Very few in the history of music have sold more and is overlooked and ignored as an artist(besides his faithful all the the world)

Ramires has kept quiet here. (May have missed a post though) He has more knowledge on the Beatles and Paul than anyone else I believe and would be interest in his comments.

Peace. It’s my birthday. Say happy birthday to me and kisses to TT7 :D

Back to the original reason for this thread… I’ve just watched the Sunday lunchtime set by Lianne La Havas. Really enjoyed it. Great voice and great cover of Weird Fishes.

All the best, Si

Or perhaps more importantly, they both needed the quality control and innovative production of George Martin. IMHO when people discuss the Beatles they always completely underestimate the immense influence he had. But yes, great songs are rarely written in isolation without others input.

All the best, Si

Ramires or Redmires ? Anyway, Redmires take on the subject...

There's something about creativity and people in their 20's. You could say the same for most musicians (Lennon, Bowie, Dylan, Paul Simon, Joni, Stones ...ad infinitum) and even into the sciences (Einstein, Hawking), that their best work was before they were 30. It's a bit of a stretch though to suggest that everything later wasn't up to much. Ignoring the Beatles (how can that be possible) , Paul would still be considered a major artist if we only knew him for his solo output. What I would say is that you can't fake it for 50 years or more. There's a reason why he & his work are so revered - just look at the faces of Springsteen & Grohl on Saturday night. They knew that they were in the presence of genius.

There's a time and a place for the odd emoji, but that clearly disrespectful one on EVERY.SINGLE.POST ?

I can barely hear Macca.


I thought the same and was a bit disappointed. However, my son was there and fairly near the front, not a fan of PM, but described the set as epic and the best set that he saw this year. Surprised face!
