While I wait, listening to a favourite internet radio station, and they’re playing a lot of Peppers covers, right now its the Easy Star All-Stars album john-lennon-salute_gif

edit: they ran out of Peppers covers too quickly and now it’s just Beatle’s covers, some great (Z-Da, Day Tripper ), some weird (William Shatner, Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds ), some…ugh (Ultrasound, Getting Better ). Ok two of them were Peppers covers but now we’re onto everything Sergio Mendes and Brazil ’66 did.

I'm like Necko only I'm a bassist ukulele guitar synthesizer kazoo penguin and also everyone. Or is everyone me? Now I'm a confused bassist ukulele guitar synthesizer kazoo penguin everyone who is definitely not @Joe.  This has been true for 2016 & 2017 Sig-Badge.png but I may have to get more specific in the future.

We have mixed the talk about the remixed album in with the 50th anniversary celebrations. I wonder if we should modify the topic title to indicate that discussions about the 2017 remixed album are found in this thread. It will be easier to search for the thread in the future if the topic title more accurately reflects the content of the thread.

Beatlebug

I've been up on the mountain, and I've seen his wondrous grace,
I've sat there on the barstool and I've looked him in the face.
He seemed a little haggard, but it did not slow him down,
he was humming to the neon of the universal sound.

I didn’t. I thought it was all one inclusive thread with the remix counting as part of the celebrations.

Cool, isn’t it? I love how their eyes change direction and little details like that. I spent a good while moving it around just to see all the little changes. Enjoy the contents when you get the chance to! heart

@Flyingbrians didn’t mentioned the new album in post 1.

I modified the topic title. Is the new title ok, Flyingbrians? If not, I’ll delete the part I added.

It’s 9PM BST BBC2.  

It’s British Summer Time here now which is GMT + 1 at this time of year so maybe you saw it quoted without the hour added.  So it would be 8PM GMT but the UK is observing daylight saving, hence the 9PM time.

Besides Paul and Ringo, who else on the cover of Sgt Pepper is still alive? Hint: there are 3.

Well, Bob Dylan, for sure…

I'm also ewe2 on weekends.

Most likely to post things that make you go hmm... 2015, 2016, 2017.

So, there’s your answer, @Ahhh Girl. @Necko suggests Robert Zimmerman is still alive and croaking. @sigh butterfly doesn’t remember hearing of the demise of Dion DiMucci. I’ll add that artist Larry Bell is still kicking around South of the border.

@Ahhh Girl No worries with changing the title, discussion has mainly centred around the remix john-lennon-salute_gif
