Beatles Tribute Tv special....

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 loved it too. I'm surprised this thread doesn't have more responses.

I guess I'm too much of a purist. I loved the historical footage but that's about it.

The Imagine Dragons (whoever they are) were hideous.

Never understand why Yoko is such a magnet for criticism. Truth is John loved her, and if some blame that on the breakup of the group, well that blame belongs in his lap, not hers. Reminds me of an old song, ever kick a good man when he was down just to make your self fell tall.

Agree with Lindisfarne, the Imagine Dragons completely neutered Revolution and exemplified the utter blandness of much current pop. Most of the other covers were awful-- except for the few leavened by mature artists like Walsh, Lennox, Stevie Wonder, Grohl or fresh top-drawer pop talent like Keys & Legend. It was surprising to see the two remaining Beatles, Yoko, and their children singing along with every cover act like lemmings. Then the Love girls descended on ropes with umbrellas... Too bad a real somebody like Beck or Beatles' contemporaries like Brian Wilson or Pete Townshend(in concert The Who sometimes did a great cover of Twist and Shout), couldn't have been coaxed on board. Nevertheless, it was all mitigated by a clear realization that these songs belong to the ages now, and with such good feeling that one can't blame even the Beatles or Yoko for humming along with the elevator music.
