6. The last part is the best part
Well, it's all good but, heehee. To me, this is the most awesome act of renegade theater ever. This cannot be topped.

4. John Lennon's infamous forgotten lyrics
6:21 into part one of the concert.

"Enolivreeshiegodblreebloocheegoo"

He accompanied the improv with a genuine smile of course. I wasn't even born when he was killed, but I still miss the hell out of John Lennon.

18. A hell of a band, that.
Whatever it was that broke 'em up (insert favorite theory here), they never forgot the art of playing together. And they represent the last time the world agreed on anything--long time ago, when they was Fab.

Goo goo goo joob.
