The Beatles, very early day at Abbey Road.
Can you see George's left black eye? A Pete Best's fan'd given him one night at Cavern.

George Harrison with Joe Brown's guitar




."...Some days I will have a THOUSAND of this."



Joe Brown is George's old friend. This was taken while Brown went to a toilet. In Concert For George in 2002, Joe sang the last song of the night for him. Take my breath away. It's the only DVD I've cried for-like a baby.
