Hi Johnny, just got in from a gig.We played "One After 909" and "I'll Be Back" as part of our regular set but the guys made me out to be a liar tonight as we were asked to say happy birthday to a punter and we did "Birthday"for a change-we did, at one stage, keep it in the set in case of such an event and found that it was always someone's birthday but we hadn't played it for months. We did talk about doing some others -we were looking at the medley from Abbey Road, i.e. Golden Slumbers/Carry The Weight/The End and I wanted to do Come Together also. We jammed "Dear Prudence" the other night as it was 8th December and I was in a bit of a Lennon reflective mood. I'd love to do "I am the Walrus"-there are so many great songs to choose.They did seem receptive to some of the more obscure tracks and Lennon songs suit my voice best. I did get "Love" on the day it came out.I have mixed feelings about it but I suppose if anyone is gonna bugger about with their tracks it may just as well be George Martin.The good news, so far as I am concerned, is that they are finally doing something about cleaning up and mixing for 5.1 surround sounds-some purist would argue against it but we have the versions with tape hiss, drop ins etc safely in the can so lets also have a pristine recording and we can choose which one we want to hear.
Yes Nick, Heltere Skelter would be a good one to do.My Nephew's band wanted to do it a while back and I went to a rehearsal to show em how its done -t'was great fun.
