February 23, 201411 yr Author I was listening to this awesome cover by Pride & Glory, Zakk Wylde's band that would eventually become Black Label Society. They had a much more Southern Rock sound by then, before switching to Metal. (It says Black Label Society, but the band was Pride & Glory at the time)
May 6, 201411 yr Author ^ Here's one of them For some context: They were playing at the Royal Variety Performance in London. Within the audience was the Queen, the Queen Mother and Princess Margaret. Of course the "if you'll just rattle your jewelry" was directed to them. But you can also see Lennon doing a "thumbs up" at the Queen, who apparently just took it as a joke.

May 18, 201411 yr (Click for full size) May 18 2014 (Reuters) - An electric guitar played by George Harrison on British television before the Beatles' U.S. "invasion" fetched $657,000 at auction on Saturday in New York, topping pre-sale estimates, Julien's Auctions said. Harrison, who died in 2001 at age 58, played the black-and-white 1962 Rickenbacker 425 electric guitar on 1963 appearances on the British TV shows "Ready Steady Go!" and "Thank Your Lucky Stars" with the Beatles. Harrison also played the guitar during the sessions when the Beatles recorded "I Want to Hold Your Hand" and "This Boy" in October 1963, months before they brought "Beatlemania" to the United States, launching the British Invasion of rock bands. The guitar was estimated to sell between $400,000 and $600,000, Julien's said ahead of the auction. Harrison bought the guitar in 1963 in Mount Vernon, Illinois, while visiting his sister in the United States, the auction house said. Also sold at the auction was a handwritten placard with doodles signed by John Lennon and Yoko Ono from their 1969 anti-war "bed-in" in Montreal, which fetched $187,000. A Hofner bass rented by Paul McCartney in the mid-1960s sold for $125,000. Other notable sales from the auction included a white jumpsuit worn by Elvis Presley during a 1971 concert that fetched $197,000, and 1990 red Rolls-Royce Corniche III convertible owned and used by Lady Gaga that sold for $125,000.
