Those who were there for the Taping universally raved about the whole show, especially “Crying” and “In My Life (beatles)” Waiting for the PBS special so I can hear those two although I understand that “Crying” is on his Tried and True CD that drops June 1st.

"In 1554 the Merchants Adventurers Company in Newcastle, England, swore out a complaint against its own apprentices for their 'lewd liberty,' which included 'dicing, carding and mumming, what tippling, dancing, and brazing of harlots ... what use of guitars at night—what wearing of beards.' When police broke up the Beatles' rooftop concert in January 1969, the Fab Four might have saluted John Swetenham, William Garlthorp, and John Pycard. In 1381 these three men became the first British sic--he means English musicians sent to jail for making a disturbance with 'giternes.'"
