It was an amazing gathering of fans, authors, podcasters, and musicians. This is a highlight reel from some of my favorite moments at the Fest. It's a good time to be a Beatles fan indeed.

Thank you for all the valuable info and the book recommendations. Cannot wait to read them! I grew up in the suburbs of New York city in the '60s and was 9 going on 10 when The Beatles first appeared on the Ed Sullivan show. Such exciting times back then! Thanks again. Wish I had been in the area during the 60th anniversary....

I've seen Micky a number of times with Mike and Peter and just him and Mike and his voice amazes me. I hope that they fixed the sound issues for Sunday night's Liverpool set. And tbh, I never knew Mark Rivera had such a good voice. LOL.
@judgetimbers588 5 ай бұрын
I could not attend on Sunday, so I am not sure of the sound. But Micky and Mark both sounded great despite the tech issues. I thought Billy J had to deal with the most audio issues at the beginning of his set, but he pressed on like the true pro he is. Cheers.😎🎸☮️

Sounds like a good time! The only thing is come with a lot of cash man!!! I saw some of the dealers prices and they were outrageous for some of the vinyl records and singles I saw I know they pay a fee for the space but the prices were way too high for what the items were worth

It was a great time Dave, but yes expensive for sure. The only items I purchased were books and they were autographed. Cheers.😊☮️🎸

Thank you for sharing your fest for the Beatles experience. I am particularly interested in your feedback on the Mal Evans book. I am not clear if this is a book about his life and career or is this a book drawn from his discovered diaries? Either way, is this a one off book is the author planning a series? Thank you very much!
@judgetimbers588 5 ай бұрын
Thank you for the kind words. As for the Mal Evan’s book, I have not read it yet but I understand it to be a complete biography of Mal’s life. His diary is a primary source for the book. I also understand Mr. Womack will be publishing a second book on Mal containing the complete diaries and more photos. I think that will be published towards the end of 2024.

The Monkees' version of "Pleasant Valley Sunday" is fabulous. Besides the Monkees obvious link to the Beatles, in this particular case, the opening guitar riff was inspired by George's riff in I Want to Tell You. The original song, without the opening riff, was written by the legendary team of Gerry Goffin and Carole King based on their move your NYC to the Jersey suburbs.

I used to go every year up until 2015, I moved to Florida so I haven’t been back. I have to say this though, the quality of the bands they used to have, seems like it really diminished, that band at the beginning of this post who was doing Happiness Is A Warm Gun, was terrible. Sorry, I have to be honest.

Judge 'Shiverme" Timbers I find you guilty of tricking a beautiful young woman who is clearly above your station in life to marry you ( I also stand guilty of this sneaky crime) Thanks for this video judge, we don't have a Beatle fest here (Canada AKA Commie - Da) We do have a great "Elvis Fest" in Collingwood each year which is a week long. There was some kind of shenanigans going on with the promoters and although nothing has been stated publicly yet, connecting the dots leads me to believe it was money being swiped!! So, this year 2024 it will be the same location and also a week long where all the very best impersonators will preform, last year the headliner was Shawn Klush!! I really love his 69 through 70s period. But Shawn is a very close 2nd for me. I believe Bill Cherry is hands down the very best ever!! He looks more like that era of Elvis, moves like Elvis including subtle mannerism and his vocals are as near identical!! I've been a huge Elvis fan since I heard my older sisters playing his albums back in the 60s. as such, if I listen very, very carefully I can pick out one or two songs from Elvis' albums in that era where Bill just ever so barely isn't able to perfectly mimic Elvis's power and range. But that's two out of Elvis' entire catalog...NOT TOO SHABBY!! Check him out Judge - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/nNyYmqiaqNysoZs.html Don't watch this alone Judge you might get the vapors and faint!! LOL! Take care brother Jack ~'()'~
