One of the coolest “monster” songs ever. The late great Warren Zevon and Werewolves of London.

One of my favorite “monster ” songs, Godzilla by Blue Oyster Cult

Jung, I’m really enjoying this thread. The MLT Club needed to have it’s own Beatles section. I heard this one on my truck radio heading home last night. One of the best Rock n Roll tracks ever. This video isn’t quite the same as the original 45 but I really like it. I love the Twins version of this song too. Mona could have been a Rock goddess if she wanted but she has so much more to offer. https://youtu.be/BGLGzRXY5Bw?feature=shared

Jung, I think David is onto something here. Millions of people love the big Beatles hits as much as I do but there are those Beatles album cuts and B sides that we can single out as a favorite song that seems a bit more personal, like a little gem that everyone else overlooks. I always think of John as the rocker and Paul as the more melodic Beatle, but Paul could certainly rock out with the best of them when he wanted. Here’s one of my favorite album cuts from Let it Be where Paul turns it up a little. https://youtu.be/fTZ804WxpGg?feature=shared

Jung, you are asking the impossible question. What is my favorite Beatles song?, I couldn’t even pick one favorite off of one side of one album. I am an old Rock n Roll fan so I would have to pick one that really rocked, but that isn’t easy either. I’m picking this one just because it was great when I first heard it maybe 60 years ago and it is just as good today. A lot of bands have done this and it’s really not a Beatles song but no one has ever sung it better than John Lennon. https://youtu.be/xcdwr9RCg2A?feature=shared

Bud, I really like the addition of Billy Preston’s piano on the Beatles records, especially Get Back. I didn’t appreciate Billy’s solo talents when he had his own string of hits including Will It Go Round In Circles and Nothing From Nothing. I seen him on a recent YouTube upload of The Midnight Special from 1973 and where Billy performed some of his solo stuff and he blew me away, what an amazing musician. The White album is maybe my favorite Beatles albums, more for all those great album tracks than the hits. I will add to your list with a few of my favorites, how about Bungalow Bill, I’m So Tired, Piggies, Birthday, I Will, Helter Skelter , Don’t Pass Me By. And I will add some music to this thread with another White Album favorite, John’s Happiness Is A Warm Gun. Someone should make a video for this song.

Mona’s vocals reminds me of John’s vocals with that raspy cry in them. That was my point in asking about straining her throat singing like that at the Cavern Club. In the real up tempo songs like Revolution, My Generation or many others she has some serious adrenaline going on and probably doesn’t even realize it. Just look at the pick guard of her Martin or the gouged out body of her Epiphone. She really gives her guitars, and her vocal chords a workout. Makes me 🙂.

Bud, All four of the Beatles produced so many great songs after the break up. I want to give Ringo some love here too. Ringo it seemed was the “happy” Beatle. He just always seemed to love playing the music and still gets out on the road with his All-Stars, still spreading his message of peace and love. I love this song and video brings back some memories with a lot of cool video clips and pictures. https://youtu.be/IhDKHo2wapM?feature=shared

Haha, I think the cops are enjoying the show too, they are taking their time. The one looks at his watch, he’s probably wondering how long they got before their Captain calls and says “I told you to break them up”. Little did they know it would be the end of an era.
Here’s another one that is very underrated. An early one from their first album that I’ve always loved. It has a 50’s vibe to it and is one of those songs that reminds me of a teenage relationship that has come to an end. I think we’ve all been through those. What really grabs me is John’s incredible vocals, so much power and feeling. https://youtu.be/b3zNKWyLfus?feature=shared

Chris, A Day In The Life is an outstanding track, definitely one of their best. It’s one of those studio tracks you have to listen to through a good pair of headphones with the lights down and your eyes closed. I think it was 2 different songs, a John song and a Paul song blended together. I don’t know who’s idea it was to put them together but it was a genius idea.
-
I love John’s voice on this one too. I can understand why they broke up and love a lot of their solo work but man, there music as a band was only getting better, and that is saying a lot.
-
Yeah JP, that is some good stuff. She is an amazing musician. I love watching the girls play almost as much as I like listening to what they are playing. I know what you mean about the gems you find in the club and this is certainly one of those gems.
-
Jung, that performance is just amazing. I always like Mike’s smile at 00:58 when Mona and Lisa first join in. I think he knows that something really special is coming. It sounds fantastic coming out of my computer speakers, I can’t imagine sitting in the theatre listening to those harmonies. The bass is pretty good too.
-
JP, I like this one, Mona is playing that nylon stringed Cordoba guitar that Lisa uses a lot in the Duo Sessions recordings. Another thing I like about this video is that it is clearly a live recording done in one take. It makes me feel like I am sitting in the studio listening to them play. I can’t wait for the livestream on Sunday. Anyone have ideas on what songs we might hear?
