I saw that video a few months ago, and Prince just killed in it. There were some big names on that stage but every one of them knew who the star was during that track. It is funny, when I watched the entire concert video, years ago, I didn't get at the time what a great performance that was.

Interesting small town America story about George Harrison: In Sept 1963, he and his brother spent two weeks visiting their sister who was married to a Scottish mechanical engineer who'd moved to America and worked for Freeman United Coal Company in Benton IL. The family hiked and camped in Shawnee Natl Forest and Harrison played with a band called the Four Vests at a VFW hall. Songs played included Your Cheating Heart by Hank Williams, Roll Over Beethoven by Check Berry. He also sang at a bocce ball party. dailyamericannews.com ..... Traveling with his older brother Peter, Harrison came to southern Illinois to visit their sister, Louise Harrison Caldwell. For two weeks, Harrison stayed at his sister’s home in Benton, jammed with several local musicians, performed with a group at the Eldorado VFW Hall, bought a guitar in Mount Vernon, sang “Happy Birthday” at a bocce ball club in Benton, and went camping in the Garden of the Gods and other Shawnee National Forest locations. Many of "The Beatles’" first recordings were played over a West Frankfort radio station and Harrison was interviewed by a local teenager, Marcia Schafer, the first interview by a Beatle in America. Harrison returned to England and came back to America with the rest of "The Beatles" in Feb. 1964 after “I Want to Hold Your Hand” rose to number one on the U.S. charts. He was known for writing such classic songs as “Taxman,” “While My Guitar Gently Weeps,” “Here Comes the Sun,” and “Something.” franklin.kfvs12.com
