The Beatles recorded and performed this Phil Medley and Burt Russell classic early in their career, right after the Isley Brothers covered the original Top Notes version. John Lennon even pulled out some irreverent humor when playing for the queen as he made the comment about people in the good seats rattling their jewelry just before the Beatles played. The Beatles version went on to be the classic played at numerous dances, events, and classic rock radio. The Beatles being introduced by Ed Sullivan as they played their first big outdoor stadium concert is also a treat. Ed seems to be truly enjoying the magic of the moment. The music quality was poor due to the unstoppable screaming and lack of stadium size amplifiers and technology- but you get the picture of what is was like in 1965 New York during the English Invasion and Beatlemania. Team I got a fever is ready to climb 69 floors and look out all around Seattle this Sunday from the 73rd floor, I couldn't be more proud. Happy Friday!

It was great to see you last week. Your positive attitude in the face of adversity is inspiring. Good luck to the IGAF team in the climb. I paid good money for all to make it up to the top.

Rick- Your donation was welcome and appreciated. We couldn't thank you via e mail due to some technical error- so thanks again. We are retiring early tonight to make sure we are ready tomorrow morning- I am sure we will all make it to the top with steps to spare. Thanks again Mr. Suburbia
