not sure if you guys have seen this yet, you probably have! but i just read about it on another thread...Amazon.com has a video of the guys rehearsing "Please Please Me" in Miami before the tour, and there's a group shot of the band out in front of the theater , very casual, and there's Brian looking cute... and Rusty with his "70s porno star" mustache... it's a funny video, not as overly produced as the commercial DVDs are - you hear them playing and sounding like a normal band...not a made-for-TV concert with all the off-key parts edited out... you can see it if you do a search on Amazon for "High in the Clouds" and scroll down...
I saw the video, thanks. It's great that you can hear Brian on the backing vocals and there are more shots of him that we usually get. I LOVED that song when I saw them perform it.
It's is a great video ! I really love the song Please Please Me [ and maybe because we know what Brian's voice sounds like on his own now, from MM , i agree , you can really hear him singing on the harmonies ]

I agree with you guys - you can TOTALLY pick out Brian's voice, now that we have MM to listen too all day long - he really shines on the harmonies in that video! You know what's funny? i used to live 2 blocks from the Jackie Gleason theater in Miami...too bad I don't live there anymore, huh!

Hey guys! I've been off this board for about a year or so (due to suddenly realising the university had to take priority in my life....damn...) and when I tried to sign back in as my old username, I was informed that it had become inactive I used to post *loads* on this thread as 'Miss McCartney'....anyone remember me? Real name Kirstyn - we used to chat loads on MRC or something like that? Back when we were 'Brian's Cherries' or something like that...Fair enough if you don't remember, but I decided that this year I'd make an effort to begin talking on here again as I had a lot of good times. I can't believe how much things with Brian have changed - he seems to be doing really well for himself and I'm so happy for him! Anyway, I hope I'm still welcome on here after so ruthlessly abandoning it for so long. ops:
KIRSTYN!!! Welcome back!!! We have really missed you!!!! How are things at university? Lots of things have changed for Brian since you were here last, and we've all gotten to know each other even better. Can't wait for you to be part of the fun!! Big hugs!!!

Well , you know what they say ..... that the grass always seems greener on the other side ! So i guess it's true . [ but i think i could cope with a few bugs , to have the sunshine and the beach !! especially this morning when i was scraping ice off my car windscreen !! ]

We won't have ice on the windshield this weekend, but it IS supposed to be a lot cooler. We'll still have the sunshine, though!

I just want to report that the Hollywood sign is still there, as well as Vine St. We only walked by each one once today. And we made it back to the hotel without a problem. And we didn't even have a map!! Fortunately, there were no bridges, forks, or sharp curves involved!!! We'll be seeing you at the show in just a few hours (Dawn and I), and we can't wait!!! Catch you later!!!! Gail (from Orlando)

Thanks for the heads up, Ronna. I'll bring my earplugs. Hi Beverly, Glad to hear you are coming. See you soon!

So...how was the show?? Did Brian play the whole of MM? Was there any improvisation/variation compared to the album versions? Which guitars was he using? Did you all have a fantastic time???? Did anybody actually eat anything this time!!!

So I was gonna go, really. Had finally sorted it out Was gonna go see Constantine at HOB in Anaheim on Wednesday (I do not drive up to LA on a weeknight unless, say, David Lee Roth would rejoin Van Halen), but had this thought that just maybe it would have left me wiped on on Thursday and did not go ... ...which is a good thing, because at 12:45 on Friday a.m., I was right there when my little niece Annika was born! Got home at 2:30 on Friday a.m. and went to work anyhow that day. Had to go to LA on Saturday a.m., then drive back and do the horses, and then was going to go back up for the show, but I gotta tell ya, I was wiped out. I never would have made it back on Saturday night, I'd have fallen asleep right there, facedown on the table. Hope you guys had a blast - Dawn and Fiona, sorry I missed you!

Well congratulations aunty Corrine !!!! It was a shame we didn't get to meet up .... we seem to keep doing this don't we It was a great show , Brian played so well , there was a huge crowd there too !! And we were all surprised when Rusty and Wix popped up out of the blue and joined Brian on stage to play a song together !! " All i Know" which was great !!
-
WOW, what can I say an amazing show. Brian's Amazing P What a privilage to have seen Brian, Rusty and Wix up on stage together so close-up. I imagine the Cavern(oh say like back in 1963), a restaurant with tables the stage so close and personal and not to mention all the screaming girls, it was Wild. The wonderful part is that Brian is so nieve to it all, just a wonderful musician. He was smok'n like Smokey, if you know what I mean...So Incredible

it was so cool to finally meet a lot of you!! I HAD SOOO MUCH FUN!! my girls and i danced and screamed the whole night through, what a blast!!!
