sarahi lazo yess I love the beatles

@billpaul6675

+sarahi lazo you can "sort of" go back - if you get a chance to see Ringo or Paul McCartney in concert, do it! Both of their sets are loaded with Beatles songs along with their own. I saw Sir Paul in Memphis a couple of years ago, and it was the best concert I've ever seen, I'll never forget it. Three hours, about 35 songs, non-stop. No intermission, no opening act, just Paul and his band. He even played "Paperback Writer" on the guitar he used when he wrote the song in 1965. Awesome!

@sarahilazo8891

+Bill Paul that's true, I hope I get the chance to! and wow that must of been amazing

@DrivePennState
