The Cavern Beat - If I Needed Someone

At the Eldonian Suite on Saturday night after a rocking day in the Cavern. The Cavern Beat doing the Rubber Soul song. James(George) borrowed the 12 string Danelectro from the Merseybeat Legends guitarist, and you can nearly count the nasal hairs

These Guyz never cease to amaze me...SO WHEN R THEY COMING 2 CLEVELAND?? Their George (james) plays a C-series RiC 360-12 which is very expensive guitar...maybe he gave it a rest. The DANNO-12 sounded superb and I belive the DAnno also has Single-Coil Pick-up, so It nails the RiC tone. Nice Job. Stu-Eppi still taping you guyz ?? :) John

Thanks for the great comment. This was shot during the Cavern Beat's 2008 UK tour and James borrowed the guitar from the Merseybeat Legends guitarist, who were on the same bill on this night. I've got him aRiccy V360/12 ready for this years trip, and I'll be taping the shows whilst the guys are over here. I believe Stueppy has taken a rest for a while Best Jonty

wheres theyre drum kit and his beatiful rickenbacker 12 string ? :(

[fabpicbros]

The Band were on the bill with the Merseybeat Legends at the Eldonian Suite in Liverpool, and used their drums and the twelve string for their sets. Sounds good though, I'll make sure the Riccy's in place for 2009, just for you

One of my favorite guitar riffs of all time, by any band. Look how far down the neck he has to position the capo to duplicate that ringing sound of the original recording.

Love those Harrison songs with John and Paul harmonizing...Taxman too.

@Soujurn Good point. Give a listen to McGuinn's guitar riff on "The Bells of Rhymney" and then to Harrison's on "If I Needed Someone."

@skrason....In the movie A Hard Days Night George is seeing playing a 360-12 string Rickenbacker guitar. Look up either I've Should have known Better, If I Fell from the movie. That was Roger McGuinns introduction to that guitar. When he saw that movie. Either the same year or the following year 1964 or 65 Roger purchased one. George's guitar is a Fireglo color and Roger's is a Maple glo. I own one myself, check my video of "Honey Don't"
