I should add that the Concert From Hell pictured above actually took place in the reality where Mr. Spock looked like...
...that.

"Paperback Writer" again?
Yup. The chapter about the concert itself is priceless....
It's funny, and yet it makes me sort of cringe at the same time. I think the whole phenomenal mystique and popularity, even until today, comes from them deciding to dissolve the band when they did. A quick 6-7 years, and out.
Peter -- thanks for that link; I'd never read that.
I'd forgotten how funny Shipper was in his rock critic career. The Spencer Davis joke made me laugh out loud just now, just like it did back in the day....
