I was never much of a Beatles fan, but did have a wee bit of a crush on George Harrison when I was young. 


I didn't see all of the tribute last night, but I thought Ringo was absolutely amazing! The man is 73 years old! I loved his voice and his energy. Go Ringo!

And I don't know who the drummer was last night, but I thought he rocked the house, too. He was awesome.

Yes I watched all of it.  I was always a huge Beatle fan way back when.  I was only 19 (a lifetime ago) when I saw them on Ed Sullivan.  My fav Beatle was John Lennon so it was very sad for me last night. 

I was waiting for someone to sing Lennon's Imagine but no one did probably cause no one could do justice to it.  I loved most of the songs everyone sang last night.  It was really a great tribute to the Fab Four. 

It did seem funny to see Ringo standing in front with Paul, he was always sitting behind his drums and he sure can still play.  We enjoyed it very much.

I only managed to get the last half hour unfortunately. Ringo looked fantastic. I have seen him up here with one of the band's he travels with. Wish I could have seen more of it.

Oh well have to catch when it repeats. Saw sergeant peppers, Hey Jude. It was good though. Yes I admit it , I was a beatle fan. My sister-in-law managed to see them when they

came here in Toronto, Ontario, Canada back in the early 60 's.

Yes, it was awesome.  I was 13 when the Beatles first appeared on the Ed Sullivan show.  I was prepared not to like them, but I ended up loving them.  Had a huge crush on Ringo, and he still looks fantastic.  I can't believe he's in his 70s!  I enjoyed all of the songs, thought everyone who sang them did them justice.

I didn't bother. Beatles were really not my style  - preferred Yardbirds, Animals, Stones and the older blues musice to the saccharine lyrics of Beatles and so many other groups. I did watch, during commercial on the Olympic broadcast, part of the documentary on George Martin. Did see McCartney there, hair dyed a determined dark brown whilst his skin no longer is suited - looked vaguely like the elderly ladies who keep their hair too dark.
