Beatles Tribute Tv special....


Some nice surprises...first, Maroon 5 was very impressive with their early Beatles tunes....Joe Walsh sounded awesome...wasn't a huge fan of David Grohls song choice...and the show seemed to dip in the middle...Annie Lennex came off a bit creepy in that bizarre dress...but Sir paul rocked it...and RIngo is always cool...all in all..not bad....hey, at least Bono wasn't involved...does he have to ruin everything?

It was a good time all around.

Amazing teh impact of the BEatles over the years and that the music when played well can still sound both relevant and fresh!

My whole family watched and even my 12 year old daughter enjoyed it.

Imagine Dragons and Joe Walsh in particular delivered cover performance highlights IMHO.

Enjoyed Ringo's performances of Matchbox and Boys in particular. Paul was very much on that night vocally. He is getting to be more hit or miss in recent years, at least in comparison to his prime, but he was spot on for this event. His band is always fantastic!
I did like the "HEy Bulldog" cover a lot also and was impressed by John Legend as well.

AM I the only one who liked teh Imagine Dragons Revolution cover? Nothing earth shattering certainly but nicely done I thought.

I did not go into this with high expectations, but came out quite entertained. Definitely too many commercials though I would say. :^)
"The Beatles already have a young audience--they don't need their music "modernized" by the young artists-of-the-moment."

I don't see anything wrong with that. It shows that young people care enough to try it their way. Just replaying the same old same old can only go so far. I was glad to see both in this show and thought everyone did a good job, though of course I liked some better than others.
