Take out Benefit for Mr Kite and Got to get you into my life, for Yesterday and A Day in The Life and I stick. 

Best song on there with Helter Skelter!

On the topic of Beatles, the new Ocean Child: Songs of Yoko Ono album is pretty sweet. 

Yokos vindication continues at pace.

Still happy to wait and see who’s on the undercard before considering whether to see Macca.

I'll probably be somewhere close just before Noel and then make my way in.

Have you heard anything more on this in the past few days Neil or assuming the tour dates with the previous rumours seal the deal?

The presence of this bowlcutted buzzkill in the immediate pre-Macca vicinity will turn me into the Joker.

On set lists, I’m happy with the 2019 list minus the Egypt station tunes, with stuff like Yesterday, Got to Get You in there. A Day in the Life is the dream but doesn’t seem to be likely unless there’s a guest.

Good news for the Glasto lads that he's not promoting a new pop platter.

Surely its time to roll out Mull of Kintyre on the Beeb?

There'll be tears from if he does The long and winding road.

My man deployed that at Hampden in 2010. When I rocked up at Worthy Farm 3 days later I was still hungover until the Thursday morning.

Thankfully you weren't hungover at the gig. There is no worst combo on earth than bagpipes and a hangover.

Didn't think you had a ticket?

"Yesterday" is in my top 10 most hated songs of all time list. Absolute dirge.

I hope he Bins that off... only topped by "In my Life" as a Beatles tune that I cannot stand.

I'll be there & loving it, but yesterday... not for me Clive.

(I expect pelters for that comment, but I'll die by it)

Go on then, why do dislike Yesterday so much? No pelters, just curious!

I mean fine.  You like what you like. It's not in my top 30 or 40 Beatles songs either.

But it's short, precise and to the point. It does a neat job and then doesn't hang around and has a simple, sweet precision to it, helped by George Martin's string arrangement.

So preferring Genuine Fabs Clunkers like Mr Moonlight or Blue Jay Way does strike me as odd.

To me it's dull as dishwater. Absolutely boring & completely depressing.

I've never seen Macca, but he's done countless great tunes... Yesterday isnt for me, Blackbird too - but less so. 

My worry re Macca is - the tunes of his I prefer are more uplifting i.e. Live & Let Die... Helter Skelter. The ones he could struggle to belt out.

Again, it's barely 2 minutes long. It doesn't hang around long enough to be depressing.

Unlike, say, While My Guitar Gently Weeps.

I see your point re Length of the tune, but it's just dull to my ears.

I've just seen a face... 2 mins & far far superior to my ears.
