When Will The Beatles Special Be Released?
If you tuned in to "The Beatles: The Night That Changed America — A GRAMMY Salute" last February (see notice below), you know that the event was surely a night to remember. And you probably want to remember it forever by owning an official recording. Unfortunately the release seems to be bogged down by royalty and licensing negotiations, since the artists agreed to play without these being tied up in advance. Bless them for doing that, but let's send a clear message to the Grammy's and other stakeholders that fans want a permanent record of that great night (which I missed because I was in England where the event was ignored.)

50 Year Anniversary of the Beatles coming to Canada
To mark this anniversary, Michael Enright and the CBC Radio 1 producers dug deep into their 'Rewind' archives and came up with a lot of fascinating historic material.
Listen here:

FAIRMONT THE QUEEN ELIZABETH CELEBRATES THE 45TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE BED-IN WITH FREE POP UP EXHIBITION
From the folks that brought you Give Peace a Chance: the photographs of Gerry Dieter, compiled by Joan Athey, this historic event will inspire you and bring you peace and joy, combining John and Yoko's soujourn in the Queen Elizabeth Hotel with the couple’s subsequent visit in December 1969 when John came to testify at the Le Dain Commission of Inquiry into the Non-Medical Use of Drugs.
Here are full details of the event

This exciting album closes the first act of the Beatles' incredible journey through the 1960s. So come and get your early Beatles fix and rock out Cavern Club style at Maxwell's.

Jonesey and the GreyTones play The Savage Young Beatles
Where: The Carleton Tavern, 223 Armstrong Street, off Parkdale
No cover charge
Mach Shau: The Beatles in Hamburg Before they were big stars, the Beatles went over to Hamburg, Germany five times over a three year period from 1960 to 1962, playing hundreds of shows in the not so nice clubs of the red light district, where the German patrons loved high energy rock and roll, almost punk rock twenty years before Punk. One of the early club owners would yell at them "Mach shau", make a show, meaning get wild and crazy, which is what we plan to do, well as much as our old bones will let us, covering the songs they played on their last trip to the Star Club in December 1962. No better place to do this particular show than the Carleton Tavern! Jonesey and the GreyTones - Paul Johanis (Jonesey), Jim Devlin and Gib Rozon on guitar and vocals, Myk Hewitt on bass and Michel Cloutier on drums - will also be playing Beatles tunes from the Long Tall Sally album and other mid-sixties rock.

Jan 30, 2014, 9:00 pm Jonesey presents "Twist and Shout, a tribute to The Beatles second Album" Maxwell's Bistro, 340 Elgin Street, Ottawa, Cover: $5 On February 3, 1964, Capitol Records of Canada released the Beatles second album here in Canada, which they called Twist and Shout. It actually contained mostly the same songs as the Beatles' first album in the UK, called Please Please Me, released almost a year earlier. But Beatlemania had exploded since then, the Beatles were to appear on the Ed Sullivan show on February 9 and everyone was scrambling to put everything Beatles out there. This is another uniquely Canadian release, with unique cover art and liner notes. This is where we learned that George enjoyed egg and chips and that Ringo's ambition was to own a string of hair salons. Charming! Jonesey and the GreyTones, which will include, in addition to Jonesey (Paul Johanis), Jim Devlin on guitar and vocals, Myk Hewitt on bass and Michel Cloutier on drums, will also be playing Beatles tunes from the Beatlemania! album and other songs featured on the Beatles' appearances on the Ed Sullivan show, 50 years ago...
