<< I've been getting pleasantly earwormed listening to what IMHO
opinion
is the best Beatle solo project since the Wilbury Days: Hayden Green
by *surprise* The Pete Best Combo. Wowser. Whodathunk? >>
well,
I would've
(for one),
Bob:
I got to see, hear,
and even hang a bit
with the (no longer) Mean, (sometimes kinda) Moody, (but still!)
Magnificent one
several times last year
when his Combo played NYC.
These guys are THE REAL THING:
Precisely how a circa 1961 (northern) UK bar band sounded.
Heavy on the Chuck Berry, Motown and Brill Building,
played fast and LOUD.
and, Guess What?
Three (count 'em!) solid vocalists,
deftly trading leads/harmonies/between-song hijinx of course.
(PS., and a friend who accompanied me one night
finally put the rest to yet another Fab myth:
Friend: So, what was the deal with Stu Sutcliffe?
Could he really play?
Pete: I've heard better bass players,
but I've heard far worse.
Stu was very, very under-rated.)
