Hey -- I Thought It Was 4000 Holes in Blackburn, Not Blackpool!!!

Okay, I hadn't seen this before last weekend; apologies to the hardcore Beatles fans amongst our readers for whom it may be old news.

In any case, that's pretty fab, no? Like, one of the best Beatles live performances ever committed to film?

Incidentally, the guys who introduce the lads are beloved Brit comic duo (Eric) Morecambe and (Ernie) Wise, who the great critic Kenneth Tynan once noted "had a unique dynamic -- Ernie was a comedian who wasn't funny, while Eric was a straight man who was." 😎

Holy s$@+, that's amazing! What a fantastic artifact, and such convincing evidence of their otherworldly talent. It's all there, how tight they were live, their humor, those harmonies...

Do you know how hard it is to play the drum part on Act Naturally? Ringo doesn't tire for a second, and he's freaking SINGING
