Little correction, though: the Remains did NOT steal the 1966 tour from the Beatles. I vas dere Cholly, and the Remains made a negligible impression. (There were groups in our town who were as good or better than the Remains - in other words, who stunk just as bad.) The Cyrkle were of some interest for being able to duplicate the sound of their singles better than one would expect. But it was the Beatles ALL the way at that show.Fazenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8921382.post-30727813395712762502011-09-23T23:01:39.606-04:002011-09-23T23:01:39.606-04:00I like "Dig"I like "Dig"buzzbabyjesushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09375127662096374324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8921382.post-82081264773084490462011-09-23T16:02:20.068-04:002011-09-23T16:02:20.068-04:00Phantom Creeps --
