Laggio... ok, tell me why...? Why...? Why...? They owe nothing to anything, ok, but why...?

@holdsworth... on point 4... very true, all Americans. In my post at point 8, I asked who was in the UK...? Or in Europe...? Before (and/or during) '63...?

@Neu!2... and you keep saying the opposite... explain to me why I'm wrong to believe they are great composers and you are enlightened to say the contrary...? Go ahead, explain to me why...?

Seen in Milan the day after... I fully agree "Nothing will be the same again... and I think I'm right...." you are absolutely right. @supersoul... yes, the only heirs of Huskers...

Sandy Bull... alright, a genius, but it’s like criticizing the three yellow cards the Netherlands received tonight, saying that in front of the defense he could have played Troncon and the Bergamasco brothers... come on... you don’t like them, fine... but let’s stop saying nonsense.

@Larrok... you're right, but already towards the end of '65 they were singing frustrated because they were tired of people coming to see them and not to listen... tired of the screams of thousands of young girls that drowned out their sound systems, which were largely inadequate for stadiums; they would mess up, made mistakes, and sometimes would just move their mouths, but nothing changed. They decided, rightly so in the summer of '66, sorry for the mistake, to stop, but they continued to demonstrate uncommon live performance skills; the so-maligned All You Need is Love is live 90% of the time, there are only a few orchestral parts played by a tape recorder, the voices are the same and sound studio-like, but they were broadcast live worldwide (for the first time in history) with people like Jagger and Richards, Donovan, and even Jimmy Page humbly acting as the "audience"... on the roof they were 100% live and even today it sends chills down your spine... but go work in Palo Alto with Scaruffi...

@brother... your complaints about Scaruffi are fine, but the Beatles stopped their live performances in 65, and the recordings that circulate are really terrible. A well-recorded one is the concert on the roof of EMI, and tell me if you truly stand by your claims with knowledge of the facts... perhaps if you took a bit of ham out of your ears, you could also listen to the live shows they did in Hamburg between 60 and 62 (of which there are some good recordings)... if you’re not interested, that’s your business.

Sure! Please provide the text you'd like me to translate into English.

Well done, both you and Fahey... I have a lot of his work and he is a very intimate and "poetic" artist. This is my shortcoming, but I still believe it won't be for long...

On the record... well, what can I say, they are definitely little songs and as Jargon says for the "cazzi e controcazzi" it still takes a good three years, but then I think that in '63 there was still no one in the UK playing, I think the Stones (after 2 or 3 failed attempts) need to dirty a song from this record to chart (and malicious me, learn how to do it), that in '64 the killer riff of the Davies brothers explodes and in '65 the psych of For Your Love by the Yardbirds... or that it takes another couple of years for the debut of the Who. But maybe Scaruffi is right and his plethora of music intellectuals... these are just little tunes (:-D), but I can’t help but think: stikazzi.
