Nope, that's not our kid on the drums. Agreed, but as the camera starts in, you can't help but get the initial impression of two Pauls. Sort of a tease and then a closer look and you were wrong.. Typical of Sir P to play with your head like that.

I'm really sorry for your brother's passing B. That story about your brother being in the hospital room and somehow knowing the changed condition of his apartment with the extension cord and the open window.. Quite the mind blower. Took me a while to respond.. I opened up your thread early this morning in the few minutes I had before getting ready for work, (which ended up being canceled because of the weather anyway) and I couldn't make it to your last post because.. it really affected me. A little bit because I'm a little "raw" that early, but mainly the story and your telling of it got me feeling emotional.. I finished it later of course. Some know I met you and 'LetterG' a few years ago. I can confirm that you two did indeed not see eye to eye on certain things, and yeah when you brought up the subject our group here discusses when we are on topic, he went straight to "debate mode", much to your chagrin. Quite amusing, actually. But at the same time, you were on the same wavelength in the "twin" way.. I don't remember the details, but I said something, you two went quiet at the same time, and shared some telepathic communication to which I was not privy.. Sound familiar? I really liked LG, right out of the gate.. So believe me when I say I'm sad that he's gone, the world lost one of those that make it a better place.

Fabboy, I fixed some mistyped links in your posts. They weren't overly long, some just ran together and caused the stretched width of this page. I've meaning to say.. Perhaps you should enclose your links with "image tags" so they become part of the flow of your posts, rather than having to stop and click on each link. It's done like this: [img]http://LinkToYourImage.com[/img] I'll be happy to do it if you like.

Thanks Doc and everyone else. This place is maybe a bit quieter as the years go by, and some have perhaps lost their muse.. (I know that feeling) But.. You are all a great group of people, still my favorite place to go!

It's two days away, someone's trying to beat the rush.. And here's Sir Paul live with Birthday as I write this on the Maccacentral station, figures.. Thank you so much IAI, I especially love this: My dog would love that walk!

Yeah Ramone has the right idea, defining successful is not easy and it's subjective. The main RA thread of course has the most posts/hits, followed by song association.
There have been some pretty interesting thought provoking threads that will always be my personal favorites, but I couldn't really decide if the fall under the term 'successful'.

blogcritics.org/music/article/steven-tyler-channels-paul-mccartney-at/When the spotlight turned to Tyler and his scarf-laden microphone, I was already steeling myself for something I was sure would end in tears, and not the good kind. In seconds I was disabused of that notion as he proceeded to blow everyone's mind for nearly four minutes. "Do it," he commanded his band, and then made each component of the medley his own in a wild ride of unbridled enthusiasm for the material and for McCartney. He was a man in the zone; how could he fail? www.youtube.com/watch?v=sXhwYcJLODUIt's damn good IMO. I always thought Aerosmith's version of Come Together was the best Beatle cover ever.

I'm pretty sure that's a fake, this has been discussed somewhat here, and at length on fan boards. How's the quality? I have a DVD which is obviously a copy from an VHS release, as the video is distorted and "wiggly" at the bottom of the screen. Wikipedia isn't always the best source, but in this case they are correct: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Let_It_Be_%28film%29Home mediaThe film was released on VHS video, RCA SelectaVision videodisc and laserdisc in the early 1980s, but became out of print within a few years. The transfer to video was not considered high quality; in particular, the already-cropped theatrical version was again cropped to a 4:3 aspect ratio for television. The lack of availability has prompted considerable bootlegging of the film, first on VHS and later on DVD, derived from copies of the early 1980s releases.
The movie was remastered from the original 16 mm film negative by Apple in 1992, with a few of those scenes used in The Beatles Anthology documentary. After additional remastering, a DVD release was planned to accompany the 2003 release of Let It Be... Naked, including a second DVD of bonus material,[17] but it never materialised. In February 2007, Apple Corps' Neil Aspinall said, "The film was so controversial when it first came out. When we got halfway through restoring it, we looked at the outtakes and realised: this stuff is still controversial. It raised a lot of old issues."[1]
An anonymous industry source told the Daily Express in July 2008 that, according to Apple insiders, McCartney and Starr blocked the release of the film on DVD. The two were concerned about the effect on the band's "global brand ... if the public sees the darker side of the story. Neither Paul nor Ringo would feel comfortable publicising a film showing The Beatles getting on each other's nerves ... There’s all sorts of extra footage showing more squabbles but it’s unlikely it will ever see the light of day in Paul and Ringo’s lifetime.”[41] However, Apple has since confirmed that restoration work on the film has begun for future DVD release, but a definitive issue date has yet to be determined.

Can you show the 911 pic please and how did you get a let it be dvd when they never made one? There are DVD's out there but you're right, no official ones. These were made by either a capture from a VHS tape or (more rare) a video disk. The video disk was one of those early versions where the machine used a needle much like an ordinary turntable. (I have one the actual LIB disks, but no machine with which to play..)

Hunting For Commie-Progressive Celebs with Ted Nugent LOL! Now, that's only a little bit exaggerated. What have you done Eyesbleed, some idea man at Fox is reaching for the phone as we speak.. Did anyone see him in his current role as conservative commentator when he was singing about Cat Scratch Fever? (or Wang Dang Sweet.. ahem) ;D

Yeah the links Fabboy posted had a bit of a "run on" problem before he got a little more proficient.. So it caused the sides to go wide, especially if you are using certain web browsers. LB is the vigilant keeper of backwards compatibility.. (I cleaned them up a bit) Sgt. Pepper Mono Vinyl album - black light - (thanks Jo) I might have put those on my server, and I took a series of my own pics, but those are thanks to Mysteryboy. (come by and say hi one of these days MB)

Welcome fabboy.
When you talk of the left eye, do you mean how it appears to sit lower than the right? In the 1984 video, it's like that, yes.
Thanks for saying in one of your posts we are open minded.. Yes we are, as much as a collection of people with differing strong opinions can be. Add to that, human nature is such that once one becomes invested in their conclusion of how things played out, they are loath to shift gears.
What I'm saying I guess is that within out little sub-culture, the idea of a surviving original Paul AND a replacement ruffles some feathers, so be forewarned.
For my part (and it's just one man's opinion) if I was gonna make a best guess about what happened, it would most closely resemble your scenario.. Only because to this day the McCartney creative output loves to hint at "two Pauls".

I'm listening to the concert at the Apollo.. Live on Sirius, not from the audience, oh well. It will probably be out there on the torrents or whatever, but he's doing really well, voice in top form. Sounds like it could be from the late 90's.

HLPH, have a look at this thread if you haven't already: invanddis.proboards.com/index.cgi?action=display&board=john&thread=889&page=2#71837As to Yoko, I suppose it's it's not popular or accepted to take that view, and while I'm no fan of hers, I just don't see it.. Yeah she's obviously benefited financially, markets aggressively, and dodged the bullet of John divorcing her sometime in the 80's.. (or not, who knows) If you see this as a planned event and not the "lone nut", then you must accept the premise that it was orchestrated, and as such, too expertly handled to have been planned by Ms. Ono. Not saying she's not smart or clever enough, but just couldn't handle the pressure after 3 days, never mind 30 years.. On the other thread, please note the close grouping of those three bullet holes in the glass door, too "magic bullet" for Chapman's location, and probably no one but an expert marksman firing from across the hallway could have done it.

Great article from Karl Denninger: To The Administration: Stop Being Douche-NozzlesAn important point about the "underwear bomber": The underwear bomber was on a plane bound to the US without a valid passport and was known to be a threat. DHS cleared that plane into US airspace knowing that it had an undocumented and threatening foreign passenger on board. Who made that decision and why?A good question that remains unanswered.. Now, were I of the conspiratorial mindset, (ahem) it seems that those shiny new scanners were conveniently available almost immediately after..

Ob-La-Di: www.youtube.com/watch?v=BX7xyd99l14He notes that they "sing along to everything", and yeah compared to American audiences, they do! (In a distinct Brazilian accent, heh) Yeah, the American audiences will sing along to Hey Jude, but these guys sing every song out loud and proud. Being in the audience there is a part of the fun that can't be matched elsewhere.

Seeing those videos from Sir Paul's visit to Sao Paulo reminded me of one of my favorite performers Elis Regina, who sadly departed this world too early. (1982) www.youtube.com/watch?v=FI1b9RK10JI
