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?

I looked forward to the show then had to bail out as soon as the first group of youngsters launched into a Beatles tune--it was fingernails on a chalk board to my ears. I kept popping back and was lucky to hear some good performances and quickly bailed on the ones I hated. I did enjoy Grohl doing "Hey, Bulldog" and Ed Sheeran doing "In My Life." Most of the older artists I heard I liked and most of the younger ones, no. Who was that guy who was serving as host?

I thought this show could have been so much better but it probably could have been a lot worse. Nice try, but the wrong people apparently were running the show. Typical network stuff.
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. :^)
My wife who I cannot get to listen to my wonderful stereo asked me to tune this in for her. I was 15 when I watched the first Ed Sullivan show with the Beatles & I will never forget it. I really liked the tribute show as it did not get too saccharine & I really enjoyed most of the performances. Kate Perry was fantastic & I wish I had written down the name of the red headed guy who appeared solo, I really liked his simplistic approach and singing ability. They had A list back up singers and musicians so obviously they spared no expense. Kudos!
It is being rebroadcast tonight at 830pm for those who missed it the first time!
I really enjoyed the entire show myself. A lot of great perfromances.
