'What's the point in saying, "I should have been this", or "I could have been that?" ' he says simply. 'That's yesterday. Forty years ago. What's important is what's happening today and tomorrow. When you realise that, you get on with it.'

Interesting shot at the top of that group. Don't know the vocalist (Pete Best?), but Paul on drum kit, and George playing Paul's Höfner bass upside down! Musical musical instruments? Ready? All change!

yea, thats Pete at the mic.

Whose is that handwriting on that set list, George's or John's? Interesting how universal the practice seems to be of taping a set let to the side of one's guitar.

Quite likely Neil's or Mal's, I would think...
A lot of people now seem to have set-lists in very BIG writing taped to the floor, but that's not always practical, and probably even less so for the Beatles under the circumstances they performed in (5 or 6 bands on before them, etc...).

That is George's guitar...

Is it just me, or does that high E string look like it's Way Too High for ease of play?! It seems to be further from the fretboard than the rest...

I've been taping them to the back of my fiddle. That works very well, too.
