Newch, I listened to All Things Must Pass in its entirety today. I am overwhelmed time and again listening to that masterpiece. George was deep as shit. His reflection on his life to that point and where to go from here. If I were a rock critic for say, Rolling Stone magazine, and they asked me to write a review for George's All Things Must Pass, I'd give it twelve stars.

I plan on getting the limited edition vinyl on Black Vinyl Friday tomorrow. George was my favorite Beatle and his solo work is just flawless to me. All Things Must Pass is unbelievable. It just goes to show that George hit his writing peak in about 1968 on the White Album and it never faltered.

Nice. Good thing my dad has it on vinyl. I get to save money.

Happy Thanksgiving to all the great people I've met just from this thread. This has been a great, wild, and strange campaign to get Eddie to play in Connecticut.

Here's a little story for ya: So youngster and I went up to the record store this morning to check out the stuff on Black Friday record store day. We get there about 15-20 minutes before they open up and we're about 5th or 6th in line. When the doors open, this woman muscles her way to the rack, basically pillaging the display, knocking shit over. We calmly walk up, do a Richard Seymour spin-move around this woman, and grab the only two copies of the new limited edition "All Things Must Pass" vinyl. The guy working there was dumbfounded at this woman's tactics. Good times.

There's a little Apple Records sticker on it which reads:
2 George Harrison LP's, Plus 1 Apple jam session, Mastered from the original analog tapes at Abbey Road studios, Uniquely numbered limited edition, Including full color poster, 180gram vinyl

Mine is #2444

Merry christmas to me!

CNN is airing a special on December 4th (sometime in the evening like around 8) about the weeks leading up to the "loss of Lennon". I don't know if it is an original thing or if it is something you have seen before, but I saw it advertised yesterday and I thought I would mention it to you guys since I have recently learned you are big Beatles fans. Cheers!

Wait! You mean you punched the lady and she fell?

Enjoy the vinyl. Good thing my dad has it so I can save myself some money on it.

Can't wait! My dad was telling me about this this morning.

If you ask Fenway or youngster or Binaural, they'll tell you how big of a Beatles, in particular Lennon, fan I am.

No he didn't hit her. She was about as big as Vince Wilfork so not so sure how that would have ended. It was crazy though. Still got the Harrison box set in the end so I am happy. Also got the Metallica live double 10", U2 Wide Awake in Europe, and the Jimi Hendrix Xmas EP.

Nice.

I forgot about the U2 and Hendrix one. I hope my record store still has it. Enjoy the George Harrison one.

Isn't it a pity, now, isn't it a shame
How we break each other's hearts, And cause each other pain
How we take each other's love, Without thinking anymore
Forgetting to give back, Isn't it a pity

Some things take so long, but how do I explain
When not too many people, can see we're all the same
And because of all their tears, their eyes can't hope to see
The beauty that surrounds them, Isn't it a pity

What a song.

Also, George's version of Dylan's "If Not For You" is so awesome. I really cannot get enough of this album.

Unbelievable song. My favorite along with All Things Must Pass. Amazing lyrics. He started writing it in 1966. I wonder what the song would've been like if The Beatles did it. I'm gonna have to spin it tonight.

I have a feeling at the tailgating for the next PJ or EV show in CT, we won't be listening to Pearl Jam; we'll be listening to The Beatles along with Lennon and Harrison solo.

I like Ham, but this is alot of Ham.

Personally, I never listen to the band I am about to see in concert the day of the show. So if I am in town to see PJ or EV, I can't think of better music to listen to than the Beatles. Or John, Paul, George or Ringo for that matter. Anything they were a part of were gold. Couldn't agree with you more, Newch!

Growing up on the Beatles, going to the Cavern as a student (it's been moved across the street but looks exactly the same), and knowing my mom (from Liverpool) actually hung out with them and bought them fish and chips when they were broke...nothing is better than knowing my two boys (8 and 6) LOVE their music and know virtually every song including their solo stuff. My mom still has the original vinyls of most of the Beatles stuff, including the White Album and the Penny Lane/Strawberry Fields single...her fav was John as she said he had an amazing sense of humor...my fav is george as I just find his music so beyond words. My two favorite B sides are Strawberry Fields and Yellow Ledbetter!!!!

It's going to be one hell of a party, just having fun and listening to some of the greatest music ever made. I really would love to see PJ cover "While My Guitar Gently Weeps". I can't wait. But I agree with what you say about listening to a band the day of the show; I'll listen the week before to remember the songs if I haven't listened to them in while.

That's awesome! I can imagine all the stories your mom has about them. It's also awesome that your kids know the music so well. That was like me at their age.

John is also my favorite for so many reasons, one being his humor and wit. George is second because of the great music he made and because he is one of the greatest musicians, ever.

I thought Strawberry Fields Forever was a double-A side? I could be wrong. I love what George Martin said about that song and Penny Lane: "My biggest mistake in my career was not putting 'Strawberry Fields Forever' and 'Penny Lane' on Sgt. Pepper." And Yellow Ledbetter is one of my favorites also.

We have a lot of ham leftover. I made a ham and turkey sandwich yesterday from the leftovers. It was a really good sandwich.

You could be right about Strawberry Fields...I used to play the single so much I just assumed it was the B side...I was about 6 when I started playing it all on my cheap "record player'...goodness knows what state they are all in...makes me cringe now :oops:
