The Big Three
« on: January 18, 2012, 11:53:41 PM »

Heres a good taste of Cavern life from the 60's, The Big Three sound like a good tight band to me.

quote from Tony Hicks of the Hollies

"We'd play at the Cavern and just wander out and see the Big Three play, which was just incredible. It was something very new, very exciting. Old amplifiers, no sophisticated stuff. I remember the guitarist with the Big Three [Brian Griffiths] used to go onstage with four strings. He'd go out and play with four strings. They were just rough and ready Liverpool geezers, there for a few pints. And he'd think 'four strings? Fair enough. Better than three, but I'd prefer five or six.'"

George Harrison approached Johnny Gustafson of the Big Three to join the Beatles as bass guitarist, but he turned them down.

I was thinking.... I want to see a "reunion" not because they were friends, but as a final added closure to Beatles history. I will go a step further. I want to see a new record too, with Paul, Ringo & Pete. An old time Hamburg style Rock & Roll song. An original or maybe just a remake of Chuck Berry's "Rock & Roll Music". Maybe ask Klauss to sit in for Stu on bass & ask Tony Sheridan to help out as well. A one off song wouldn't hurt the Fab Four's place in history anymore than having Pete & Stu in the band at the beginning did.


But seriously, it's great to have these little snippets of information!
