Last night I went to the Sinfonica de Puerto Rico's Beatles concert. And it was a wonderful night. There were people there from all ages. All sharing the magic of the greatest pop music of the 2oth century. As the orchestra played everything from "Michelle" to "Here, There and Everywhere", one realizes the amazing melodic genius that the group possesed. There was a moment when they played "Penny Lane" where I got goosebumps and my eyes got watery. There is such power in that music. And the fact that a symphonic orchestra can play it shows that at their prime Paul, John and George were up there with the great musical geniuses of all time.
