According to all accounts, the band played terribly, missing notes and forgetting lyrics, much to the dismay of the gathering of dedicated fans.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;They didn&#8217;t seem to know their own songs,&#8221; one fan said. &#8220;Wait, not even <em>songs<\/em>. Song, singular. They kept trying to play the one same song, but never even got all the way through it. Not once.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;John sounded like a nineteen year-old girl,&#8221; another fan said. &#8220;He kept giggling and getting the words wrong, and was way, way off-pitch. It was horrible.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Lennon wasn&#8217;t the only Beatle who disappointed fans. &#8220;They all seemed to be struggling,&#8221; one attendee said. &#8220;It sounded like it was the first time they had ever held their instruments.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;That looked like George Harrison,&#8221; another dismayed fan agreed angrily. &#8220;But that was no George Harrison.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;At least Ringo sounded about right,&#8221; he added glumly.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It wasn&#8217;t what I was expecting,&#8221; said another Cavern Club patron, who initially cheered the band but found himself less and less excited as the show progressed. &#8220;I was expecting The Beatles, but this sounded more like a disorganized, possibly drunk bunch of amateurs, trying to play the same one song over and over, stopping in the middle, and then starting over again. What a letdown.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;John Lennon would be rolling over in his grave,&#8221; he added, &#8220;if he wasn&#8217;t currently on stage.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>After five awkward, fumbling attempts to make it through their 1963 classic hit &#8220;Twist and Shout&#8221;, The Beatles gave up and ended the show.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The Beatles suck,&#8221; said one long-time fan. &#8220;I&#8217;m crushed by this. I just hope the Green Day concert I&#8217;m going to is better, but I don&#8217;t have much hope.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The Beatles are due to appear on The Ed Sullivan show next Wednesday night, though Paul McCartney has stated he might not be able to make it due to having a Calculus midterm early Thursday morning.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;I was expecting The Beatles, but this sounded more like a disorganized, possibly drunk bunch of amateurs, trying to play the same one song over and over, stopping in the middle, and then starting over again,&#8221; said Cavern Club patron.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":1690,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[681],"tags":[738],"class_list":["post-72","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-lifestyle","tag-rock-band-series","section-firstpersonobserver","entry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.screencuisine.net\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/72","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.screencuisine.net\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.screencuisine.net\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.screencuisine.net\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/6"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.screencuisine.net\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=72"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"http:\/\/www.screencuisine.net\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/72\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.screencuisine.net\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1690"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.screencuisine.net\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=72"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.screencuisine.net\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=72"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.screencuisine.net\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=72"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
