I remember Badfinger being introduced by Harrison as "an Apple band" at that show; the afternoon performance. It seemed dismissive to me at the time. I appreciated Badfinger very much and got the impression from that comment that they were on stage due to a financial interest in the band's exposure by an executive in the Apple conglomerate. It certainly did not tell the audience - at least this person - that this was an important and relevant group of musicians to whom people should pay attention. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

don't get me wrong, I'm not saying Badfinger was as big as say the Beatles lol but groups like them and the Raspberries were on the radio a lot in that era... I remember the days when WNEW was the biggest NYC FM station in terms of market share and when they broadcasted a live Badfinger concert there was a huge buzz at my college, we all taped it off the air.... and of course they did other cool things like appear at the Concert for Bangladesh, of which I still proudly hold my ticket stub... songs like Baby Blue still get played a lot on the oldies stations in the NYC area, I just heard it 2 days ago
