Yes you are right there Brian. I have been going in since The Cavern Club reopened at its current location and it’s changed since then. Most certainly for the better, but it’s never lost that special/magical atmosphere!
@@MrBeatfab the original Cavern was a dump, but great atmosphere, great Saturday lunch time sessions, my friend John Shell was the bass player with the Hideaways, he was a few years older than me, lived at the top of our street. A really lovely lad, great friend, sadly he got killed in Vietnam when he was only 20, it was beyond belief.
I know Paul has been disapproving back in the late '70s when the play/tribute concerts of BEATLEMANIA were formed - eventually shutting them down. But I hope all of them would realize these guys are 'seeding the fields' for continuing growth of musical awareness AND album sales. I hope that's been the current attitude since the 1990s when 'tribute bands' started popping up. These are also such great 'schools' for the musicians, and I wonder how many composers have come out of 'tribute' bands?
