The Beatles - Dream Baby - Live

The Beatles - Dream Baby - Live The Beatles - Dream Baby by Roy Orbison live in 1962 Dream Baby (How Long Must I Dream) - Cindy Walker, originally recorded and released by Roy Orbison Paul McCartney - lead vocal, bass guitar John Lennon - backing vocal, rhythm guitar George Harrison - backing vocal, lead guitar Ringo Starr - drums As "In Dreams" was released in April 1963, Orbison was asked to replace guitarist Duane Eddy on a tour of the UK in top billing, with The Beatles, whose popularity was on the rise. When he arrived in England, however, he saw the amount of advertising devoted to the quartet and realized he was no longer the main draw. He had never heard of them and, annoyed, asked hypothetically, "What's a Beatle anyway?" to which John Lennon replied after tapping his shoulder, "I am."On opening night, Orbison opted to go onstage first although he was the more established act. Known for having raucous shows expressing an extraordinary amount of energy, Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr stood dumbfounded backstage as Orbison performed completely still and simply sang through fourteen encores. Finally, when the audience began chanting "We want Roy!" again, Lennon and McCartney prevented Orbison from going on again by physically holding him back. Starr later said, "In Glasgow, we were all backstage listening to the tremendous applause he was getting. He was just standing there, not moving or anything." Through the tour, however, both acts quickly learned to get along, a process made easier by the fact that the Beatles admired his work. Orbison felt a kinship with Lennon, but it was Harrison with whom he would later form a strong friendship. The moniker of "The Big O" would eventually follow him back to the States, where it became an unofficial nickname for Orbison. User: TheNextDylan Dec 12, 2012 9:11 AM

Hollerado:

Hollerado: "Americanarama": Sxsw 2011 Showcasing Artist Hollerado's members grew up on the same street in a small town in Ontario. There is one bar in the town and on Friday nights the jukebox plays Roy Orbison, and John Prine. One day, while riding the bus, a man in an exquisitely tailored suit said to them "it is not nearly as fun to reminisce about the times you didn't spend your life savings on four one-way tickets to Japan." With that in mind they got jobs doing construction. When they were tearing down the old walls they listened to The Who. When they built new walls they talked about time travel.
