Grammys to include Beatle tribute


The Beatles' debut on the Ed Sullivan Show attracted 73m viewers
Sting will be among artists staging a special tribute to The Beatles during Sunday evening's Grammy Awards ceremony, it has been announced.
The tribute will mark the 40th anniversary of the Fab Four's first US television appearance on the Ed Sullivan Show.

Rock singer DAVE MATTHEWS, R&B star Pharrell Williams and country singer Vince Gill will also join the tribute.

Other stars to perform at the Grammys include Prince and Justin Timberlake.

The Beatles' tribute marks a landmark event in US television history - when the group appeared on The Ed Sullivan Show on 9 February 1964.

Beatlemania

The appearance is credited as the moment when Beatlemania crossed the Atlantic, with an estimated 73 million people tuning in to see the show, with crime rates reportedly dropping in US cities during the broadcast.


Sting is among musicians lined-up for the tribute

The group performed I Want To Hold Your Hand, She Loves You, All My Loving, Till There Was You and I Saw Here Standing There.

They went on to make three more appearances on the show.


This year's Grammy Awards ceremony in Los Angeles - the 46th - will also include live appearances by the Black Eyed Peas and Beyonce Knowles.

Knowles is among the leading contenders with six nominations - the same number as rap star Jay-Z and R&B-hip-hop act Outkast.

Timberlake, Eminem and Missy Elliott are among nine artists with five nominations each.

What kind of cookies?

the smell of this thread is honking up the whole board......someone put it in the trash!

pete s, Thursday, 5 February 2004 00:09 (twenty years ago) link

But I want milk and cookies!

Aja (aja), Thursday, 5 February 2004 00:11 (twenty years ago) link

Aja has the Right Idea.

Curt1s St3ph3ns, Thursday, 5 February 2004 00:14 (twenty years ago) link

Yeah, I guess so.

But seriously...

What kind of cookies?!

Aja (aja), Thursday, 5 February 2004 00:17 (twenty years ago) link

haters of this thread are so clue-lacking - if I ever get a tattoo, it's gonna say 3299377

Thomas Tallis (Tommy), Thursday, 5 February 2004 00:19 (twenty years ago) link

Why not:

Many people agree the Dave Matthews Band SUCKS!!!

Aja (aja), Thursday, 5 February 2004 00:22 (twenty years ago) link

Not me!!

Mr. Snrub (Mr. Snrub), Thursday, 5 February 2004 02:58 (twenty years ago) link

I didn't say everyone.

You like the Dave Matthews Band?! How can you?

Aja (aja), Thursday, 5 February 2004 03:04 (twenty years ago) link

Because their songs are catchy and they're all, like, ridiculous virtuosos on their respective instruments. Especially their drummer, Carter Beauford. That guy belongs in some kind of drummer's hall-of-fame. Ever heard the live version of "Lie in Our Graves"? Jeez, how the FUCK can ANYBODY play that fast?

This thread is funny.

Mr. Snrub (Mr. Snrub), Thursday, 5 February 2004 03:20 (twenty years ago) link

You're crazy!

Aja (aja), Thursday, 5 February 2004 03:23 (twenty years ago) link

What kind of cookies?!
erm ... how about chocolate chip? i could also make some nice banana/caramel muffins.

Jay Kid (Jay K), Thursday, 5 February 2004 10:27 (twenty years ago) link

I hate bananas. Love caramel though.

Dave could vindicate his existence if he were to release the following as a limited edition single:

"It's Not Easy Being Green" b/w "The Rainbow connection"

Lambchop has dibs on "It's Not Easy Being Green"

Dave could vindicate his existence if he were to write a decent song.

with Apologies to Jim Henson and Sam Pottle
(sing this to the tune of "Muppet Show Theme")

It's time to play the music
It's time to light the joints
t's time to meet Dave Matthews on the Dave Matthews Show tonight.

It's time to put up with him
It's time to look up her dress
It's time to raise the curtain on the Dave Matthews Show tonight.

(Alex in NYC and Nick Southall as Waldorf and Statler)
        Why do we always come here
        I guess we'll never know
        It's like a kind of torture
        To have to watch the shmoe

And now let's get things started
Why don't you get things started
It's time to get things started
On the most diabolical irritational coprophagial Daveatastical
This is what we call the Dave Matthews Show!

Aja == most brilliant ILM member.

Lord Custos Omicron (Lord Custos Omicron), Saturday, 7 February 2004 06:33 (twenty years ago) link

Thank you!

Aja (aja), Saturday, 7 February 2004 06:40 (twenty years ago) link

Wow. All I can say is that I spent my entire evening reading this whole thread. I normally post more to ILE than ILM, but the beauty of this thread has made me begin to reconsider that approach.

Allison, I thought the first album was decent. I seem to recall liking at least 4 of the songs, particularly "So Much to Say." I did listen to the next two albums. More than once even, and nothing particularly caught my interest. I mean nothing. In fact I found it odd that the stuff was so devoid of anything that might make me notice. I mean, not even one little spot where I went, "oh, that's kinda cool." I was aware of being bummed that the stuff I liked on the first record didn't even appear briefly on the others.

I hope that makes you feel a little less alone on this thread.

For the record, I like Killing Joke, though not as much as Alex. And my favorite band is They Might Be Giants, and I'm not afraid to admit it even though I know there are folks around here who may give me shit for it.

martin m. (mushrush), Saturday, 7 February 2004 11:30 (twenty years ago) link

I don't even know what the first album is. I guess you're talking about UTTAD, which is still one of my favorites but not the best. I'm surprisd that more ILMers don't stick up for BTCS, the only reasons for this that I can think of is that they haven't heard it(it is one of the lesser known albums) or just don't care. I've already admitted that anything released after crash is corporate shit. In fact, the only reason I stick it out here is because I know the older stuff, their only music worth listening to, is sadly being either overlooked or brushed aside. You're missing out.

Allison (Allison), Saturday, 7 February 2004 14:33 (twenty years ago) link

could we possibly devolve this thread any further?
i mean, if we could totally derail it into kittens and cookies for another 100+ posts, i'd be totally happy.

in fact, let's just go with kittens.
maybe kittens with anti-DMB propaganda...
hmmm, nah!
kittens. just kittens.

oooooh, OR ferrets playing.
a room full of ferrets playing!!!
sweet mother of gawd, what fun!!!!!!!!

No martin, you are not alone in proudly wearing your prosthetic forehead. I'm wearing mine right now.

the surface noise (electricsound), Friday, 12 March 2004 02:33 (twenty years ago) link

You should thank me for these random fans appearing with their words of wisdom. You really should!

Mr Google, Friday, 12 March 2004 12:50 (twenty years ago) link

two weeks pass...
Who do you all like to listen to?

Greg, Tuesday, 30 March 2004 23:52 (twenty years ago) link

Wolf Eyes: they make Dave Matthews look like a shitty college bar band.

Lil' Won Jilliams (ex machina), Tuesday, 30 March 2004 23:57 (twenty years ago) link

I've been hearing about this internet discussion for months now. One of my fans mentioned it to me after a gig in Winnepeg, I think. She was pretty upset about it, but I didn't care. I usually don't bother with stuff like this. But then I kept hearing about it, so i decided to check it out. It's actually very funny. And although I'm a little offended by some of the things people wrote, not everyone has the same taste - I realize that. But some of that shit is just hilarious. Some of my fans need to lighten up, yeah .. but that's people in general, isn't it?

I gotta go - (must keep sucking!) ...Assholes!

-Dave

Wow! ilxor rules!!

Cacaman Flores, Wednesday, 31 March 2004 00:51 (twenty years ago) link

Wow is that weird. I was just going to comment how sad it is that while something along the lines of this

The Warlocks

is so short, this one here might be the longest ILisforloveM thread . . . And there's Dave! Dave, if that is or isn't you, bravo.

otto, Wednesday, 31 March 2004 03:26 (twenty years ago) link

the email address makes me think it unlikely, but it was a v v good approximation

minolta (minolta), Wednesday, 31 March 2004 04:38 (twenty years ago) link

Dave Matthews is nothing short of one of the greatest song writers to emerge in the past decade

I'm choking back vomit.

djdee2005, Wednesday, 31 March 2004 06:10 (twenty years ago) link

Wow, you're good.

But that's what Dave told me over the phone yesterday. He didn't have time to log in.
