This is from Jeff Lynne's FB page about the Beatles tribute:

Jeff Lynne was among the many music icons who took the stage last night at the Los Angeles Convention Center to tape a very special Beatles tribute show, "The Night That Changed America: A Grammy Salute To The Beatles." It will air on CBS Sunday, February 9th, at 8pm, exactly 50 years to the day, date and time of The Beatles' first appearance on "The Ed Sullivan Show."

Jeff performs twice: With Dhani Harrison on background vocals and rhythm guitar, and Joe Walsh on lead guitar on "Something," and then again with Dave Grohl (on guitar) on "Hey, Bulldog."

Joe also did While My Guitar Gently Weeps with Gary Clark Jr. and Dave Grohl on drums and and at end of the show they did Hey Jude with all guests on vocals. It is a 3 hours+ show and will be awesome... at least that's what Steve Lukather told me.

I can post the entire setlist and who did what song if anyone is interested to see.

Also tons of photos on the internet.

Well - If there is frenzied excitement in social media about Joe's performance of While My Guitar Gently Weeps, it is no wonder -he was absolutely incredible. He did great on Something as well. As a big Beatles fan, I really enjoyed the entire show, but, of course, Joe was the highlight for me.

Me too, IABAD. Other than Paul and Ringo performing, Joe was the highlight of the show.

I don't know how old Gary Clark Jr is, but when a 66 year old out plays you, you just sit back and let him. Let the master work.

Its cool that Joe is trending on Twitter. Joe probably made new fans again tonight.

It was good to see Peter Frampton too. He did some great solos when they doing Ringo segment. A friend of mines was at the taping and she was telling me on Facebook that she was telling her son that that old guy sure knows how to play the guitar! She didn't realize it was Peter. LOL

02-10-2014, 12:44 AM
I was pissed off that Gary Clark Jr tried to "play over" Joe. It was disrespectful. He is well loved amongst new young guitarists but I never "got" him although I'm definitely in the minority there. But to try to drown him out was totally wrong. Still, Joe handled it a like a pro and kept on playing. I also thought that he really isn't that great compared to younger guys/new guys like Derek Trucks, Keith Urban, and heck, even John Mayer and I'm no Mayer fan. Although if I posted this on Facebook I'd have about 50 people off my list because all of them go gaga over Gary Clark Jr.

---

On another note, one band I would have loved to see on there was Aerosmith. Their cover of Come Together would have been killer. I've always loved that version and dare I say it's my favorite. Very rarely is that the case for me with covers.

I didn't know Gary Clark was outplaying Joe. I was paying more attention to Joe then him.

I really don't know who the heck this Gary Clark Jr is. You don't outplay a guitar genius who has been around longer than you, well respect and is well known. Who's trending on Twitter? I was reading more about a great job Joe did then him because who knows this guy.You should take lesson from Joe not the other way around. Who's the one of the greatest guitar players in the world. I don't think I will see him on that list.

He wasn't playing better than him, more like trying (but failing) to overshadow or be louder than Joe. He was playing over top of what Joe was doing and it wasn't cool, IMO. Maybe others didn't get that vibe but I felt it was not very cool.

Oh ok. I guess he wanted to come out on top. Have people like him more than Joe. The television audience probably don't know who Gary Clark, but they know who Joe Walsh is. But you never know. Joe might wanted Gary to do that. To showcase Gary's talent.

That's possible. It just seemed to me that it was odd because Joe was mid-solo when Gary came in way too loud and kind of drowned out Joe's last part of the solo in volume while Joe played rhythm for Gary during his first solo...

That's possible. I also didn't like the fact he launched into a solo in the middle of Joe's. If it was meant to be a twin harmony solo, it sure didn't sound like it. It sounded like they were going in opposite directions.

And as everyone has already said, Joe was spectacular! I don't know why this Gary Clark was even there! I don't know who he is though! Joe was just awesome! And looked fabulous, as usual these days!

I also thought Yoko was a little over the top, but I guess she's entitled....

I thought it would have been maybe even better if Dhanni Harrison would have sung a part on the song he played on.

Also, I wonder why Julian Lennon didn't perform at all? I think it would have been cool.

Too bad they both didn't perform.

WalshFan88
02-10-2014, 05:55 PM
Not that it has anything to do with it, but Julian's relationship with John was a bit "strained"... Sean would have probably performed.

TT - Not sure why Eric didn't show up. I found that odd as well. Perhaps the Grammys people were picking everyone.

I just love the attention the guys are getting these last few months. Starting with Don doing Kennedy Center Honors and people all over the internet was praising his performance. The opening of the Forum and now Joe doing the Beatles tribute special. Love them or hate them, they have to admit the guys are having talent. By themselves or each other as a group.

sodascouts
02-10-2014, 09:26 PM
I've watched it several times now and I think the problem with Clark must have been a television mix issue. This was a rehearsed performance, right down to the camera angles; he and Joe would have already worked out who would be featured, and when. They would have kept to that plan unless Clark is a hugely arrogant, unprofessional jerk who suddenly decided to change the game and "improvise" over a rock legend (who also happens to be Ringo's B-I-L) during his turn to be featured. Surely he would not be that foolish - Ringo, Paul, and all the other musicians would have been disgusted with him! He would never live it down. Since it was the end of the song, I think they were supposed to be playing in tandem, although I see what Austin means about them going in different directions.

It sounds to me like the problem is that Clark was turned up louder than Joe in the mix the television audience heard - hence the problem of him drowning Joe out - but I don't think that was at Clark's request (and who would've agreed to do that for him anyway? NO ONE lol). Unfortunately for us, it means we don't get to hear Joe like we would've liked to on that part.

He still blew my mind.

And by the way, hearing Joe sing such a challenging song reminds me of how much more he can do with his voice than he gets to display at a typical show, even a solo one.

I didn't know that. I think his voice has gotten better over the years. I know some think his voice annoying, but when you think of about it. He's got a nice singing voice. Like Glenn said in HOTE(and this was during the HFO era), Joe was singing better and playing better then he ever heard him play in his life since he had known Joe. And this was after he got sober. Luckily the drugs and alcohol didn't damage his voice too much.

He is not so well-known in USA as a solo artist, people only know him as a band member of TOTO.

I am confused with the timezones... CBS announced 8.30 PM ET/PT. The ET stands for Eastern time which means 6 hours behind Europe. PT stands for Pacific time which is LA for example, ergo 9 hours behind Europe.

We don't have that channel. First broadcast was also streamed online, don't know about tonight. I believe that too, 2.30. I was confused because Luke posted on his fb page 8.30 PM LA time. If if were LA time it would be 5.30 am for me. Not so important to me because I have the show already on my computer but maybe for others.

Or are they different CBS programmes in USA, every state has its own? I only know CBS is located in New York.

02-12-2014, 01:16 PM
It's possible different areas are showing it at different times since it's not live. This often happens so that shows get seen during "prime time" on both the east and west coasts of the USA. I know in my time zone - central - it is being aired at 7:30 PM.

True, but they seemed weirder than usual, especially Sean Penn. He seemed to be having trouble getting the words out - he was looking a little confused, taking long pauses in weird places - he was struggling to read the teleprompter. I hate to say it, but it seemed like he might be on something or drunk.

Or maybe he and Johnny Deep are just really bad at reading off of a teleprompter and didn't have any idea what they were supposed to say. ;)

I wonder how they chose who did the intros and who performed? Of course their friends and fam like Joe and Dhani Harrison would perform, but people like Katy Perry?

Country artists don't seem to care. In fact, they pretty much love it! At a Keith Urban concert I went to a few years ago he took a girl's camera that had actually gotten up on stage with him and took a selfie with her!

Anyway, back on topic, it was Sean Lennon that I saw too. And most of the people at this show were celebrities/famous. Who's gonna stop them?! :lol:

Majority of the concerts I've been to, cameras were ok. They usually say no flash or professional picture taking. Some people even video record even though it wasn't allowed. I guess some artists don't like to have pictures taken or recorded.

It was Sean there. Julian decided not to go.

I was wondering about Julian. Did he decide not to go or was he not invited?

I think he was invited, but he decided not to participate in it.

It seems, amongst other things he was out of the country...

Thanks for the link. Well, I think it's safe to assume Sean wasn't recording it to show it to Julian. Characterizing the special as nothing but "a Beatles karaoke session" was a bit harsh! Ouch, Julian!

I read that too that he was out of town.

Does he hate his father that much. I heard John abandon him and his mother when he was a child and I know how he feels, but come on. That's a long time to still hold a grudge against your father especially when he's been dead for 33 years.

I never cared much for Julian's music, much preferred Sean. Julian is very bitter because of the way John treated his mother, was well as him. I don't agree with that, but I don't agree with Julian's views on much of anything, especially this. I think his charity work is good but just never much cared for him otherwise.

I think Julian has a stronger relationship with Paul than he ever did with his dad. Wasn't Hey Jude written for him by Paul in response to John and Cindy breaking up and Julian having to accept Yoko?

Yes, this is what I read recently. I've been digging in to the Beatles lately since the show and have realized I didn't know a lot of stuff!

Happy 2nd Anniversary to the "The Night That Changed America: A Grammy Salute To The Beatles" special.

Here's a better video of While My Guitar Gently Weeps.

Brilliant. And Jeff Lynne is so good, the BBC ran a very good doc on him a few weeks back in the UK which featured Joe.

3 years ago, Joe was one of the guest artist for the Grammys Salute to The Beatles. He did a great job on While My Guitar Gently Weeps with Gary Clark Jr. I think that was my favorite performance of the night.
