When They Was Fab: Electric Arguments About the Beatles

Following on from Declan and Paul on the Late Show finale, we start a discussion on the "McCartney/McManus demos", those found on the Flowers in the Dirt Archive Editions, and those that ended up elsewhere.    Continued next week with part two! #madeonzencastr

You know her from the Fests, you know her from "Fab Four Cities", and if you do not, now you will know her from this show!    Welcome Susan Ryan to our rotating cast of co-hosts.        Our first full-length show is a look at the Beatles (and John and Paul, and maybe a little bit of Jared Harris) in and around Central Park.      The news takes us out to brief stops in Queens (Forest Hills), and even a stopover near Fenway Park.     The Beatles and the Park and the Dakota (and more) this week!

Author David Guerrero joins Marv, Jon Stone and myself as we discuss the Beatles in Manila, and his book "You Won't See Me: When the Beatles ghosted Imelda."     Early July, 1966.    The Beatles had left Japan, and had one more stop before their US tour.    Unfortunately, Vic Lewis, Cavalcade and the Marcos family would have something to say about what might have been a triumphant moment in rock history.    #madeonzencastr.    

Start this episode at 11:40 AM, and we will all celebrate "Peace and Love" with Ringo at noon!    Join Marv and I for some good wishes, some thoughts on Ringo Starr "Twotles" releases, and some podcast news!    #madeonzencastr.

Our look at the tour on the verge of the controversial "bigger than" US tour of 1966.    The Beatles run through Germany on a Luxury Train, spend two days in a plane getting to Japan, and play some shows that George Harrison remembered as being questionable, and took off for what is remembered as the most harrowing of trips.      Pt.2 next week with author David Guerrero as we cover Manila, the Philippines. #madeonzencastr

More of George Harrison's guest appearances, along with discussion covering Paul McCartney and Hrishikesh, Sean Lennon on Sodajerker and the latest from Spain on the Beatles biopics.   #madeonzencastr 

Marv amd I return to George Harrison-land.     We present the first half of our look at the music George guested on in the nineties.    Some of our old familiars (Lee, Capaldi, Lynne); some even older friends (Carl Perkins), and a 1992 recording disguised as a demo fro the seventies.    The slide guitar is joined by some recent news, including the latest from the quadrology.   #madeonzencastr.

One more look at the new promotion for "The Boys of Dungeon Lane".    Paul sits down with Willie Geist, Amelia Dimoldenberg, the NME and you, and we converse on the conversations.    This is followed by a bit of chat on Sean Lennon promoting the new "Lennon-Claypool Delirium" album, with even more chat on what's going on.   #madeonzencastr 

Marv, Jon and I sit down and put our heads together on "The Boys of Dungeon Lane."     It might be raining in Costa Rica (and in fact, it is raining in Texas right now), so what else is there to do other than pop on vinyl, CD, stream or maybe tape and listen to Sir Macca.     #madeonzencastr
