It was 50 years ago tomorrow.<\/a>  Your humble correspondent was among the 73 million Americans who tuned in to see the Lads from Liverpool, the Four Moptops, the Fab Four, as they were variously known.  Later, in '64 or '65 I saw them live at the Hollywood Bowl.  What remains are all those great tunes, hundreds of them.  So pour yourself a stiff one, and give a listen.<\/span><\/p>\n

Thank You, Girl<\/a>, 1963<\/span><\/p>\n

In My Life<\/a>, 1965<\/span><\/p>\n

Something<\/a>, 1969.  Although not as prolific as Lennon and McCartney, George Harrison here proves he can write a song as good as anything they wrote. Frank Sinatra considered it the greatest love song ever written.  A Sinatra version<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Night Before<\/a>, 1965<\/span><\/p>\n

Tomorrow Never Knows<\/a>, 1966. A long way from Perry Como.<\/span><\/p>\n

Eleanor Rigby<\/a>, 1966<\/span><\/p>\n

I'm Looking Through You<\/a>, 1965<\/span><\/p>\n

When I'm 64<\/a>, 1967.  The boys must have thought that 64 is really old<\/em>!<\/span><\/p>\n

Penny Lane, 1967.<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

Rain<\/a>, 1966.  <\/span><\/p>\n

Abbey Road Medley<\/a>, 1969.  This is how the boys' last album ends.<\/span><\/p>\n

0:00<\/a> – You Never Give Me Your Money<\/span>
4:03<\/a> – Sun King<\/span>
6:29<\/a> – Mean Mr. Mustard<\/span>
7:35<\/a> – Polythene Pam<\/span>
8:48<\/a> – She Came in Through the Bathroom Window<\/span>
10:47<\/a> – Golden Slumbers<\/span>
12:19<\/a> – Carry That Weight<\/span>
13:55<\/a> – The End<\/span><\/p>\n
