There was also a slowed up funky version of Get Back that was played, but shazam was unsuccessful for me with that one.

RE: Preshow Tracklist
Can't help with the full list,, but the I Want to Hold Your Hand is the absolutely brilliant Al Green version (which can be found on the equally brilliant Soul Tribute to The Beatles album)

RE: Paul @ London 100 Club, Friday, 17 Dec, 12.30 pm - ARCHIVE
What a brilliant experience you guys must have had! And it's strange reading this as I'm not jealous, just really happy that fans have had the chance to have this experience - really happy for you. By coincidence, I got a text from someone I was at school with who was telling me that he was on the police team for this. Small world!

RE: What is your favorite brand of veggie hot dog?
Linda McCartney ones have a better texture to them than any of the others I've found. Quite often they're too 'plain' while the LMcC ones have a bit more too them. Struggled when I went to Australia last year and they had very little options - lots of BBQs where I ate lettuce!

Milk Substitues
Hi all. I've been a vegetarian for the last 20 years, and would like to make the next step and remove dairy from my diet. I can survive without cheese and eggs (quite often the last option available as sandwich fillers when out and about when you're veggie!), but I think i'll struggle to give up cows milk. I've tried soya before, but it's not quite the same. I'm a bit of a coffee addict, and love my lattes, so would be interested to hear if anyone has found an alternative to cows milk that they find palatable?

RE: What Beatles Item did you last buy?
Delighted to get a copy of 'The Beatles - The True Beginnings' in the post today. It's all about the Casbah and is amazingly detailed. Also ordered a ticket for the 50th Anniversary bash at the Casbah on 17th December Really looking forward to it, although I found it really claustrophobic when the Spider Room was empty, so I don't know what I'll be like when it's got 150 people in it

RE: What Beatles Item did you last buy?
Oooooh, I spent to much in Liverpool yesterday, but John will only have a 70th birthday once (which is what I will tell my bank!) I bought: Hard Day's Night Pen Beatles journal 3 x John badges John 2011 Calendar 2 mugs - The Cavern and a John 'Imagine' one (which I've got home and discovered a chip in it - grrrrrrrrr - which was to be a friend's Xmas present) And a Hamburg lithograph signed by Astrid Kircherr which was more than I have ever spent on anything for my walls - it's of the photo shown below http://images.mirror.co.uk/upl/sundaymail3/nov2008/4/2/7CA30D94-F8BC-F2FA-DC748F0576353C9F.jpg

RE: Are you born after John died?
1976 for me. Strangely though, I can still remember when he died even though I was tiny myself. I guess I was very aware that something had happened and being a nosey sort of kid, asked a lot of questions.

Hi all - I've ordered the new Howard Sounes book about Paul so I'll see if there's anything new in that. Also ordered a new pair of glasses from the John Lennon range - not the round gold, but a pair of tortoisehell NHS type specs

RE: Paul, Hampden Park, Glasgow, 20th June - ARCHIVE
I was in AA7 and made a few new friends that night including a complete stranger I danced with for most of the evening and have kept in touch with. Interesting that so many visitors thought it a special atmosphere too It was a magic MAGIC night, and I've lost count of the amount of times I've watched this over and over again on YouTube!

RE: What Beatles Item did you last buy?
I've ordered Beatles Gear the book from Amazon and also took receipt of the Abbey Road guitar strap I ordered a few weeks back. Also bought the Philip Norman Lennon book - finished Cynthia's book over the weekend so thought it time to start on another one!

RE: What Beatles Item did you last buy?
It was fantastic - the tours rounded off a great few days of football and music. The tour started at Mendips and while I'd stood at the gate before to take photos, being in the house that had been such a part of the Lennon and Beatles story was an honour. Some of the features of the building have rarely changed with original doors, floors, fireplaces, door handles.........I just touched all the original parts knowing that John had been there before. I'm not in anyway a spiritual person, but there definitely was something incredibly powerful about being in a place where history was made. The custodian did say that a lot of people find it overwhelming, and that tears and cuddles are very common for visitors. Standing in the small porch knowing that part of history was made on that very spot................add into that some of the incredible sadness about John's childhood (some of which I have a similar experience of) and the combination of emotions was unbelievably powerful, but then I am a sentimentalist! The tour of Forthlin Road (again I've stood outside and taken photos!) felt quite different. The tour guide was quite a jovial guy with a good line in bad jokes (not to mention having a few people suggest he was a bit of a Paul lookalike!) The photos around Forthlin taken by Mike McCartney are on the walls showing the family in each of the rooms (including a shirtless one of Paul on the wall of his bedroom). The only door that wasn't original is Paul's bedroom door that once went to a Hard Rock Cafe and then went missing, but the belfast sink, the quarry tiles on the bathroom floor upon which each of The Beatles have walked remain the same as does the drainpipe which Paul was famously pictured climbing up. I particularly liked the fact that the walls had 3 types of wallpaper pattern - where they ran out of the expensive Chinese style paper, they just finished the wall off with cheaper stuff! There's a great impromptu photo of Jim McCartney hanging in the kitchen, although the real eye catchers are the two famous photos of John and Paul writing in front of the fireplace. Again, in that tiny room, a part of history happened and it does make you want to just close your eyes and imagine the two boys there writing something world changing. Interestingly, James McCartney apparently visited a few months back and it must be great for him to be able to see the place his Dad grew up. I'm sure many of you will have done the tours before, but It outlived my expectations. I suppose it's all only just bricks and mortar, but those walls have seen history and it makes you feel much closer to both John and Paul by being in the homes that played such a huge part of The Beatles story. If you haven't been and plan on going, I'd take a hankie just in case! A very powerful experience.

RE: What Beatles Item did you last buy?
I've been in Liverpool for a few days so did spend a bit on Beatles items! Mostly little bits and pieces for friends like fridge magnets and things, but did buy a very nice b & w shot of Paul with his Hofner which has now been framed and hung up in the music room. Came home to find the Pauline Sutcliffe book about Stuart had arrived from Ebay so it loks as if I've got some reading material to keep me going for a bit! (I got a book about Linda delivered last week, so will need to find some quiet moments over the next few weeks to get into them). Also, yesterday afternoon I did the tour of both Forthlin Rd and Mendips buying both guide books on the way. I needed hankies coming out of Mendips ops: Found it a bit overwhelming

RE: What Beatles Item did you last buy?
A vinyl Lennon sticker for my new guitar case - the guitar has a Lennon logo on the back of the headstock, so it was nice to get something that matches that on the outside of the case
