I often wonder why The Rolling Stones never broadcasted it in 1968.
Brian Jones looked cross eyed.
Clapton couldn't have been too disgusted with Yoko, Bubba.
He was playing guitar with The Beatles while Yoko was the singer.
It is on a 4 disc bootleg I have called, "The Beatles True Masters"
Then after Yoko was done, they did some of George's material.
The sound quality is perfect but Yoko ruined a good jam.

Where did you find that bootleg? I've never seen or heard of it but would love to hear it.Clapton and George played a lot together both masters of the guitar.

<quoted text>You're right Octo, I work at Walmart & we do have a pretty good selection of music dvds. Another good place to find some older or out of print dvds is Amazon.

I even found the previously unissued AC/DC movie at Walmart.

"Let There Be Rock" was shot before Bon Scott passed away.

Still one of the best rock concert films ever made.

<quoted text>On PBS they wanted 125 for the two DVD's that's insane.Well worth 10 bucks though. I don't like Wallmarts way of treating their employees but they do have cheap prices.

I wouldn't know how they treat their employees.

I just go to Walmart because it is close to home.

It is the only store that is open 24 hours around these parts.

That comes in handy sometimes.

I bought that boot years ago at an independent record store.

It is no longer in business.

However, I did grab a lot of great imports.

"The Beatles Masters" has a shaved vagina carved in a green apple.

It has a disc of a rare Apple radio show from the eighties also.

They had played stuff from the Apple vaults.

The songs Yoko screams on, would've been great with a real singer.

But at least, George took over and did some interesting things.

I wish you could hear some of the stuff, Bubba.

Very historical.

Last Friday there was a protest against Walmart in several states by the employees because of Walmart greed and and their cheap minimum wage paying jobs, They fire or threaten anyone that mentions a Union.People having to work at last minutes notice for holidays no medical or any decent benefits.Corporate Greed just like McDonalds.As far as prices and locations they still have thousands flock there. Myself I still go to K=mart.

We have a K Mart at the mall up the road but they close at 9 pm.

Target closes at night also.

I find that every store offers some decent prices on a few things.

When I go to Walmart, I always see the employees working.

Lowes Hardware is really useless.

Try and get an employee to help you find something.

Good luck.

Well after 30 years of riding the rails and singing with hobos I've gotten used to it. When I was in the South I hung out with hillbilly moonshiners and sang for them.I went way up North and drank and sang for the Eskimos .Now a days I sing on Park benches and in alley ways and sometimes Truck stops and in any bar they will give me free drinks for entertaining their patrons. I still working on getting to sing in Walmart parking lots.

It's not as bad as the protesters are making it sound. If you're part-time, you don't get very many benefits. But, if you're full-time, you get quite a bit of benefits. Maybe the protesters are part-time associates.
