In January 1990, I went to see my first concert. The concert in question was Sir Paul McCartney (Or just Paul McCartney MBE as he was at the time) at the Wembley Arena and a great wonderful show was provided for the paying customers.
One of the Highlight's of the show, was an extended jamming version of Sgt Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band (Complete with psychedelic Acid Blobs in the background), which linked the song and the reprise that are found on the Album of the same name...
To celebrate The Beatles/Mr Paul McCartney, and the time when I was 16, I have located a version of this Song/Jam/Song on YouTube and I have decided to put it here for all to witness...

I have specified before, That me and Paul McCartney have a few things in Common,
We both married American Photographers,
We share the same first name, (Although he was born James Paul, he is known as Paul)
Although I'm right handed and he's left handed, neither of us are Ambidextrous.
Thank you Mr McCartney for a wonderful evening and the large amount of happiness you (With and without your former Beat Combo) have given me.

Bigger Than John Lennon?
A totally un-Topical Poem.
John Lennon once said that 'The Beatles were more popular than Jesus Christ' He has often been misquoted as saying 'Bigger than Jesus Christ' I have therefore written this verse about it.
Jesus entered the club
And to the microphone he went.
He hushed the crowd and said
“I’d like to make an announcement.
Despite of what he said
I’m bigger than John Lennon
John was only 5 foot ten
Whereas I’m 5 foot eleven.”
“But,” replied a punter,
“Far be it for me to disagree,
But, John Lennon said, The Beatles
Together, bigger than you they would be.
And, correct me if I’m wrong,
If on each others shoulders they got
Looking down on the top of your head
They would be, would they not?”
Jesus thought about this and realised
“Oh no that is true,
But I’m the son of God I can’t be wrong.”
And before our eyes he grew.
That’s right a miracle was performed
In front of the clientele
And said, ‘take that Mr Lennon
Ringo, George and Paul as well.’
Then Jesus before he left,
The Barman he did thank
And he turned the bottles of Evian
Into Sauvignon Blanc.
