More of Bob Dylan and George Harrison. Most of these tracks are live, the disc starting with the rehearsals for "The Concert for Bangladesh". We wander through the red sky, drop into Porky's (where Kim Cattrall might or might not get some revenge), and end up back in Madison Square Garden during both the eighties and aughts. #madeonzencastr.

George Harrison was working on Cloud Nine, and visited the States in early 1987. George and his producer-in-crime Jeff Lynne hooked up with Wilbury-to-be Bob Dylan and recent collaborator Duane Eddy for an evening at the Palomino Club in North Los Angeles. The headliner? Taj Mahal and the Graffiti Band including good friend Jesse Ed Davis. The result? Nearly two hours of George Harrison live with Dylan, John Fogerty and more! #madeonzencastr

Notes de l’épisode
Marv and I talk storytelling within the solo Beatles story. Given the documentaries and biopics covering the Beatles together and as a group, what else might make for a good film (of either type) in the near future? Ringo Starr as lead character in a "Stand and Deliver" style drama? A documentary covering the times two (or more) Beatles assembled after 1970? All this and more in this #whentheywasfab episode! #madeonzencastr.

Author David Guerrero joins Marv, Jon Stone and myself as we discuss the Beatles in Manila, and his book "You Won't See Me: When the Beatles ghosted Imelda." Early July, 1966. The Beatles had left Japan, and had one more stop before their US tour. Unfortunately, Vic Lewis, Cavalcade and the Marcos family would have something to say about what might have been a triumphant moment in rock history. #madeonzencastr.

Our look at the tour on the verge of the controversial "bigger than" US tour of 1966. The Beatles run through Germany on a Luxury Train, spend two days in a plane getting to Japan, and play some shows that George Harrison remembered as being questionable, and took off for what is remembered as the most harrowing of trips. Pt.2 next week with author David Guerrero as we cover Manila, the Philippines. #madeonzencastr

Marv, Jon and I sit down and put our heads together on "The Boys of Dungeon Lane." It might be raining in Costa Rica (and in fact, it is raining in Texas right now), so what else is there to do other than pop on vinyl, CD, stream or maybe tape and listen to Sir Macca. #madeonzencastr

More of the McCartney promotion for "Boys of Dungeon Lane." Paul guests on the final episode of "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert", talks with the BBC about "Ten songs that shaped his life," (while Macca hold a large microphone with a giant Yellow flag), and MPL (perhaps in conjunction with Apple and the Quadrology?) get the two Paul's (Mescal and McCartney) together with a crowd dressed in more or less fifties period outfits. Review coming soon! #madeonzencastr.

Another week of Beatles appearances. This week we discuss Paul on a number of podcasts, and a little show called Saturday Night Live. Meanwhile, a faux Ringo (well, Mr. Conductor) narrates a faux Thomas the Tank Engine on SNL UK, while the real Ringo is still out there promoting Long Long Road - including an appearance (via Zoom) with Simon Mayo on UK radio. Surrounding these bits are some thoughts on the evolving Apple Corps, and other news as we draw ever closer to the release of "The Boys of Dungeon Lane". #madeonzencastr.
