Love Alice's style of drumming .. inserts FLAMS here-and-there like I used to decades ago. Gell WELL, Jean!

Same but two days ago ,one of the better fab 4 songs and I think they did it better

Same here BETTER

Ditto 🙂

I'm 75 & British and grew up during the Beatles & Stone's and have been listening to Fanny for around 50 year's and NEVER KNEW the beatles wrote this song ! I've never heard the Beatles version and have no wish to. 1/. after nearly 50 year's it wouldn't "sound right" sung by men. 2/. I'm a Stone's fan and don't own a single beatles song..... ANGRY. {Haven't they made another comeback ?

@@HTJB60 it’s good. Lennon was singing

That's a beautiful, brilliant story to share. Keep rockin', girl! 🙌😄

totally. Just my thoughts.

I miss her playing bass!

Wait...Fanny isn't in the Hall of Fame?

@@sweetpottoo no. Have never been nominated

Not talented enough sadly

@@stevesleg i disagree, but even if that was the case, if The Moody Blues can get in, i think Fanny deserves a spot.

@@dirty_deeds3523 We’ll agree to disagree

That's too bad. I thought this was an original by them.

It is Jean recovering from the stroke, not June.

Jean, not June.

Yes Jean... wonder if their mom and dad deliberately tried to confuse us! Totally in agreement with what you've said though. This band is clearly a big happy family, with just one black sheep who I don't doubt is really loved just the same.

Did she have another stroke now that she's in a wheelchair?

They are NOT gods they're just entertainers! Get a grip!

Thanks for commenting, muffs. It's true. The Millingtons, and the collective sisterhood which has coalesced around them over the years, still rocks! Due to a severe stroke in 2018, Jean has been unable to play bass (a huge loss for us all), but her spirit remains strong and she continues to work with a physical therapist with a determination which would put most of us to shame. She can (with assistance) stand for a short time and even walk a few steps, but it requires a degree of effort which would make it untenable on stage for an entire set. But as you can see, she is still a hell of a presence up there. Ever since the stroke June has ramrodded a GoFundMe page to help with the huge costs for her PT, other non-covered medical expenses, and any needed support. In addition to more detail about her condition and progress, June has posted up a wealth of historic material and photos (including a number by famed rock photojournalist and long time member of the extended Fanny sisterhood Linda Wolf). The site is worth a visit whether or not you're in a position to donate. I hope KZfaq will allow me to post this link: gofund.me/1cdf0f1e If it doesn't stick I'll figure out some other way to pass along the info (or, of course, you can search for Jean Millington on the GoFundMe site).

@@beachdog67 It is so sad that the record company is what broke this group up by wanting them to be somebody that they were not (the rock star image thing) I don't blame Jean and Alice for leaving the group. "Charity Ball" should have been top 20 at least. My first year of high school, great memory.

Assigned Ringo please explain… you were barely 8 years old for Beatlemania.

That guy who you could hear laughing sure sounded like KEVIN EUBANKS of The Tonight Show Band with Jay Leno

I think most of her tone is in her hands.

If you're in California I understand June is doing a solo gig in mid-December in Santa Rosa - benefit for the ongoing GoFundMe that supports Jean's ongoing PT and other medical expenses. I'll post details here as soon as they are available.

Not so much, really.

maybe you have listened to the Beatles version , problably you did not recognize them.. first time i listen to it in the radio i did not think it was the Beatles.. and i am a Beatles fan ,,, ANGRY of the Stones is not bad at all

Fy

Yes, that's true...

This is true. Where is Nicky these days anyways?

@@Charles-rn9hl I'd give so much to know it...

Lee Madeloni (the fella upstage right) is Jean's son (she, of course, was Fanny's bass player and way ahead of her time musically but since her stroke has not regained enough dexterity in her hands to be able to play out; we hold hope). He's an exceptionally gifted musician (bass and drums) as well as a talented studio engineer, producer, and more. He's well familiar with the entire Fanny music book, having grown up in the thick of it. He handled the bass playing duties for much of the evening. Mia Huggs (stage left) is a graduate of the Institute for the Musical Arts (ima.org/) in Goshen, MA, owned and operated by June Millington and Ann Hackler with the express purpose of giving girls and young women the sort of "leg up" into the music business that was not available when Fanny was busting through sexist glass ceilings in the 1960s and '70s. She held the pocket ably on a number of tunes and there were one or two such as this when she and Lee shared rhythm section duties. Worth noting that over the course of the evening several Fanny alumnae rotated in and out; multiple guitarists and both drummers from the "glory days." It really was a special night.

🤦‍♂️ This live performance is a little less sharp than the studio version _possibly_ because they're in their friggin' 70s!! You might have also noticed that Jean is in a wheelchair!? Age _happens._ Health problems _happen._ Bands from 4 or 5 decades ago, usually don't have a chance to reform and front up on stage. Fanny has done a very good job, to gather themselves, find their creative joy and sisterhood, and get on stage again. All power to them, I say!

Well, thanks for sharing your thoughts. A couple things though. 1. I was at this show and can tell you they most assuredly are NOT "a shadow of what they were." Are they in their 20s? Obviously not, but these women still kick ass, take numbers, and (along with their audience) have a damned good time. 2. "Gay statement?" Huh?

I saw them live in UK (Plymouth) on their '73 tour, I was 15. They were never a "gay statement", whatever that actually is, then or now. They were a great band, tight and full of power.

@@beachdog67 I'm only responding to your #1 (yup, 2's a "Huh?" for me too) I wish I was at that show, as they still sound great for my 70 year old ears! So wonderful to see & hear June, Jean, Alice & company rocking to Bulldog. Thanks so much for posting this! Cheers from Canada

@@beachdog67 Fanny, in their own words were judged as a 'gay' female band. Indeed they disbanded because of being stereotyped and not being taken seriously. When I said "I realised they were obviously a gay statement" I didn't mean anything but the perception of their rock and roll was a statement of a female all rock Band. Make what you will of what I said and your interpretations. However, as much as you prefer nostalgia, this is a Band in their twilight years, hence the wheel chair. Forgive me if I offended you.

Watch the same ladies sing this song live from way back to 1971

There were several hundred of us in the room that night who would disagree with your assessment, but thanks for sharing.

Always a negative comment from the diaper section.
