Another Beatles concert

Since I was still serving in the French Air Force on the afternoon of Thursday, January 30, 1969 when the Beatles gave their last impromptu concert on top of their Savile Row Apple headquarters, I knew I had to make up for that. So last night, like for the Rolling Stones a few evenings before, we were treated to another Fab Four concert at the Park City's Egyptian Theater.
While the performance wasn't quite as good as that of the Stones, this concert was fun and with material like the Beatles', it's very hard to go wrong, unless none of the band members can't sing or remotely looks the part. The four band members live in California and Utah and Richard Fazzi who plays Paul McCartney was arguably the best of the bunch.

Too bad the audience was somewhat lethargic after surviving New Year's Eve, but at the end every spectator was on their feet to cheer and sing along “Twist and Shoot” and “Back in the USSR.” It was heartwarming in this cold night when the mercury dropped to -5 degrees Fahrenheit as we walk out into the street and a good way to begin the year with having the four lads of Liverpool, finally together and alive in our own little town!
