Marty, Yep I did it myself(after a few beers), and yes I am a lefty. Learned on an upside-down Fender Jazz hence the right-hand stringing.
Sean I'm with you, love the early BeeGees. I've got that "best of" CD that's divided, I think it's called "For The Record", one disk for the early stuff and one for the later. Works out great.

Perhaps one reason Waters' Rickenbacker doesn't have the clanky growl we're used to is because he was using flatwounds, as I assume most '60s bassists were.

Ronn, you mentioned a "Live in '67" video. Is that what it's actually called? I'd love to check it out....

Seth, I'll check the title when I get home but I think it's "The Pink Floyd: Live in London '67". Cameo by Lennon.

I have a copy of the video, and the Rick is on display in it.

Lennon and Yoko are cutting some womens clothes off in it right? It only has two songs on it. Interstellar Overdrive and Nick's Boogie.

IIRC, Syd plays a Dano on it.

Anyone notice how Roger Waters writes his lyrics in lists? I'll do a list of all the songs with lists. (How ironic.)

One that leaps to mind is "Eclipse".

"Atom Heart Mother"
If

"The Dark Side of the Moon"
Money
Us and Them
Eclipse

"Animals"
Dogs

"The Wall"
Mother
One of My Turns
Waiting for the Worms

"The Final Cut"
Not Now John

"The Pros And Cons Of Hitch Hiking"

"Raido K.A.O.S."
The Powers That Be
Home

"Amused To Death"
What God Wants, Part I
What God Wants, Part II

"Others..."
Leaving Beirut

That's all I got. If I didn't think a song counted I didn't include it.
