A very informative look at the Beatles In Canada with two superb interviews. The first is with John Brower, co-promoter of the 1969 Toronto Rock 'n' Roll Revival that featured John Lennon, Yoko Ono and the Plastic Ono Band, plus veteran rockers Little Richard, Jerry Lee Lewis, Gene Vincent, Chuck Berry and Bo Diddley, plus The Doors and Alice Cooper. Brower tells some wonderful stories about how John Lennon became part of the show, and also discusses the recent documentary, "Revival '69: The Concert That Rocked The World" that he was involved with. Then we talk with noted Beatles In Canada authority Piers Hemmingsen. He talks about how The Beatles were actually known to Canadian radio listeners before Americans, his work with the Toronto '65 live Beatles concert tapes and how the tapes, which were great quality when he found them, turned out to be even better quality than he originally thought, and what might be in store with the Beatles' Hamburg tapes. All that plus news and reviews and just a whole lot of shakin' goin on. Step right up and listen. And be sure to subscribe, review, follow us, and pass the word (and our link) around. Thank you!
