Thanks, so much, WW. I sent it to my drummer. I bet he's gonna dig it.
Agreed, Wood. That is amazing.
I got a kick out of him just silencing the drums and Yesterday and Norweigian Wood. He just takes a look around.
I wonder where he recorded this.
Very cool.
in England. not sure the town, I remember seeing it.
oh Yesterday, I was cracking up too.
did Ringo play drums like that? if so, he is quite the under-appreciated drummer or I am just an idiot.

amazing the brain that guy Kye has. to know all songs of set and to change that quickly to correct beat as each song started/changed into next. just brilliance, sheer brilliance.
He's got a bad rap due to the oft repeated crack from Lennon ""He's not even the best drummer in The Beatles"
I assume you mean "yes" to the first 2 out of 3 elemenst there....Yes, and yes.did Ringo play drums like that? if so, he is quite the under-appreciated drummer or I am just an idiot.
I can't find any source either, but I just realized, this sounds like exactly the kind of wordplay John was fond of early on and might actually be a pun about Ringo not being Pete Best...Note that while this quote is often attributed to Lennon no-one has ever succeeded in positively IDing when or where he said it. I suspect it's apocryphal.He's got a bad rap due to the oft repeated crack from Lennon ""He's not even the best drummer in The Beatles" & maybe even from the way his character was portrayed in The Beatles cartoons.

Excellent example, Zelja!
There would be "Beatles" without Ringo's drumming...

[/INDENT]The line often attributed to John Lennon - "Ringo isn't the best drummer in the world. He isn't even the best drummer in the Beatles" - was actually uttered by British comedian Jasper Carrott in 1983.

It's actually Newcastle in Australia (just over a 100 miles north of Sydney).
Ringo was/is a great drummer. Apparently a Beatles recording session was never stopped due to a Ringo mistake & he was also supposed to have metronomic time keeping.

This is the work of a badass drummer:
That bass player is OK too...
