I'm 48 years old and I still got chills watching this video clip of Paul and Ringo. One of these days, I've got to grow up and stop being a Beatlemaniac.

Awesome! Thanks for posting that. I plan to never outgrow being a Beatles fan. I love that McCartney wore an early-Beatles suit and tie for the occasion.

Is that Joe Walsh on Paul's left (with the Dano-looking guitar) and Mick Jones on his right (with the LP)?

It's Joe Walsh to Paul's left. I'm not sure who is on the right. At first glance I thought it may have been Rick Derringer, but thought better of it after watching a little closer.

Actually, Meso, I think you're right. I knew he looked familiar, but I couldn't place him. Looking at more recent phtots of Derringer, I think that's who it is.

I haven't seen many recent pictures of Rick, but... That's who instantly came to mind when I saw the vid. The article mentioned Edgar Winter doing Frankenstein during the night, and if'n Edgar was there doing that song, Rick probably wasn't too far behind.

Here's a recent pic of Derringer:



Okay...that's from 1975. Apparently he borrowed Jaclyn Smith's hair for the day.

This is more recent:

Yoko Freaking Ono was there????? What the heck for? Does she have a single fan on planet earth?

Very cool to see Paul and Ringo playing together. Those guys do not look their age.

In the younger photo, RD looks like Cher; in the photo from now, he looks like Chas Bono. Gotta love him.

I love it that Joe plays with Ringo. But I'd like to see Joe do some solo gigs again.

But yeah, watching Paul and Ringo doing "Birthday" gives me a thrill. I'm not much a fan of Yoko. I appreciate her for her peace-aims back in the day, but as much as I do love avant garde art, her stuff was, IMHO, a pile of poo, hers and John's methods of protest silly.

I think you mean Paul's right..........
Derringer is on Paul's left.

...and the Dano looking guitar sure looks like a Tele to me.
