Big things take much time to execute: both this episode and the long-awaited event I’ve been teasing for the last few months….
First: the new show. SATB 210 features no guests and no host; instead, it depicts in rigid but scaled down time, the unfolding of their career from the October 5, 1962 issue of “Love Me Do” to the May 1970 issue of “The Long and Winding Road” as a final US single. What lies between are the sounds of their hectic pace, with interviews, concerts, projects, radio, film and TV populating their days. There is no greater way to get the context of their hard work and success than experiencing it in context.

Next: the really big show – welcome to the first Fab4ConJam, coming February 20-21, 2021. It’s two days of global community, featuring speakers, panels and music celebrating the world’s greatest unifying force.
Check out the site now for details as they unfold.

working now, thanks
I love your show, and I am so sorry to say this, but as hard as I tried…I just couldn’t sit through more than 5 minutes..
Sincere apologies, RR, I must agree with Gringo K, above. A very tough listen. Stressful, even. Two simultaneous storylines made me shake my head and eventually turn it off. Good thing I wasn’t also watching the ‘Eberybody Wang Chung Tonight’ video.
Well…I like it.
I LUV-LUV THIS EPISODE . . . THANK YOU!!!
I fired up this episode, put on my AirPods, and just let it all wash over me for a couple of hours. The concept is spot-on, the execution amazing, and I think this is truly a labor of love. Chronology is fantasticly detailed, the background events truly immersive, it touches on pretty much everything the Beatles and their era were all about. Kudos!
It seems that not everyone agrees, but then again some people hated She Loves You when it first came out.
As I said on Twitter, I loved this episode. Just hearing the sounds of the time were fascinating. Plus-it’s The Beatles.
Absolutely superb so much detail, it requires a second listen to hear the things you may have missed first time.
By design – thanks Paul
‘Revolution 9’ meets ‘Anthology’, with a dash of the ‘Free As A Bird’ visuals for additional inspiration. Brilliant work, Robert – I can’t begin to imagine how long it took to put together.
And as a bonus, I got to hear a song that I haven’t heard since I was (literally) running around in nappies (or diapers, depending on your side of the pond) – ‘I Was Kaiser Bill’s Batman’ by Whistling Jack Smith at the 1:41 mark!
That was epic. I can’t believe the effort this took. It left me breathless at some parts. What a wild ride they (and we) went on.
That was indeed epic. I cannot fathom how much effort that took. It left me breathless at moments. What a gobsmacking ride they went on.
