Beatles Medley From Hell

[Randy Twizzle]

Hollywood Palace in 1969 My parents were probably watching.

I bet Charles Manson watched it. Can you provide the exact broadcasting date? I guess it's before the 9th of August 1969.

[Randy Twizzle]

It's from 10/11/69

Forget Manson watching it, I'll bet Robert Stigwood was watching it, like Eric Burdon watched Otis Redding on Ready, Staeady, Go!

Is it just me, or did Bing always sound good even when he sounded awful?

Good to see Bobbie Gentry's talent being squandered. Story of her life, I guess. But she did have a voice!

Was that Phyllis Newman or Ruta Lee or just who was that? She says "no', but her body language says "yes". But I say no. I couldn't afford the hospital bills.

The only thing better than Robert Preston doing "A Little Help..." would have been Jack Cassidy doing it. But America was not ready for the genius of Jack Cassidy. That has always been America's fatal flaw, and America will fall from grace because of that. And that alone.

And check out Englebert's eyes during "Yesterday". The eyes are the window to the soul, you know.

Variety shows, why did they ever extincticize themselves? I cry tears of regret because they did.

That's a good explanation because they didn't sing 'Helter Skelter'

The redhead is Gwen Verdon. She always made my thermometer rise.

I think it's Dick Shawn singing "A Little Help". Love the hair, Dick!

I agree about Bing - the greatest.

A cheesy slice of show-biz history - brought a nostalgic smile to my lips.

Dick Shawn? Wow...

That's better than Jack Cassidy, although for entirely different reasons.

Allegedly Humperdinck plays a decent tenor sax.

I wonder why The Rodriguez Brothers weren't included in this medley. "Being For The Benefit Of Mister Kite" would've been perfect!

I see from that link that Sweetwater was on the show. They were one of the bands that played Woodstock, but were left off the record and film, like Bert Sommer and Mountian.
