I never saw them live either and was ok with that as I hated all the screaming. Not that I did not get that it was a totally emotional experience. It was- but for me it was tears.
I can't see the video so can't guess what your favorite is.
Fifty years later people are still talking about the great song writing team of Lennon/MCartney. Anyone who plays music will quickly understand
why they remain so popular. They augmented normal 1-6-4-5 patterns of popular music with far more complex chord structures. And they perfected the concept of the "hook".
Paul has also never been given his due for being a peace advocate. John is the one we most associate with this kind of activism. And while Paul was not an activist per se, several songs are so inspiraing
and evocative of a time when peace seemed possilbe. When they did Hey Jude on tv. That same magic was there last night as we all sang along, and pushed away memories of what happened instead.
The show closed with that great medley from Abbey Rd, beginning with Golden Slumbers and culminating with "And in the end, the love you take is equial to the love you make".
This, after four long and powerful encores.
At a time when there is so much for which to be ashamed in the US we can take pride in two home grown art forms :
jazz and rock.
