^Those are interesting pictures. I have never seen those before. Looks like they could have been taken almost any time during the first half of the sixties. It seems to be a jam session somewhere and John lended a guitar. It's not his, is it? What about the session at Elvis' house? Who's the guy in the background with the guitar?
Yeah, in earlier years the Beatles were much wilder. Hamburg performances could make quite another band from them. I think if everything went like it went until the end of 1961, the Beatles would become by the end of 1960s a real "punk-like" band. And Pete Best would play with them... who knows, till nowadays?
A question... about "The Sheik Of Araby". After the line "at night, when you're asleep, into your tent I creep" George murmurs something like Arabic. I can't hear what exactly... Who can help me?
