Agree with Lindisfarne, the Imagine Dragons completely neutered Revolution and exemplified the utter blandness of much current pop. Most of the other covers were awful-- except for the few leavened by mature artists like Walsh, Lennox, Stevie Wonder, Grohl or fresh top-drawer pop talent like Keys & Legend. It was surprising to see the two remaining Beatles, Yoko, and their children singing along with every cover act like lemmings. Then the Love girls descended on ropes with umbrellas... Too bad a real somebody like Beck or Beatles' contemporaries like Brian Wilson or Pete Townshend(in concert The Who sometimes did a great cover of Twist and Shout), couldn't have been coaxed on board. Nevertheless, it was all mitigated by a clear realization that these songs belong to the ages now, and with such good feeling that one can't blame even the Beatles or Yoko for humming along with the elevator music.
Beatles Tribute Tv special....
Some nice surprises...first, Maroon 5 was very impressive with their early Beatles tunes....Joe Walsh sounded awesome...wasn't a huge fan of David Grohls song choice...and the show seemed to dip in the middle...Annie Lennex came off a bit creepy in that bizarre dress...but Sir paul rocked it...and RIngo is always cool...all in all..not bad....hey, at least Bono wasn't involved...does he have to ruin everything?
