Dave Grohl is sitting across the aisle from Paul, that is important I think. Hey, Paul's "New" just came on for a Surface commercial!

Stevie Wonder is prominently featured yet again(he just starred at Michelle Obama's ritzy birthday bash), does he have anything new to offer? I am worried as I now smell "Ebony And Ivory" coming! I wish Ringo would do "Early 1970" as it is his best tribute song to his mates, hands down. Never without you is mighty strong. Not sure Paul would appreciate "I wonder if he'll play with me" although I understand Ringo's concern.

Looks like Ringo may join Paul....They said " a very special guest" will join him onstage... That special guest with Paul could be Grohl! Wow, that band with Ringo was the band he played with earlier this month when he got the "Peace And Love Award" from that David Lynch guy. Kenny Aronoff was on drums, he was John Cougar Mellencamp's long-time drummer who I met a couple times in Bloomington when at Indiana University. He is a class act. Was that a Bon Jovi guitarist sharing a mic with Frampton? "Photograph" was performed well and I was happy Ringo got to perform on such a prominent stage. I might have preferred "It Don't Come Easy" with Ringo behind his drums but that was good. It was received well it seems. I do wish Paul and Ringo were placed at the end, one after the other. Paul is getting the more prominent closing slot but tonight they are both stars.

Maybe Charlie Watts or Pete Best, or some other third rate drummer.

I don't get why he would or should get to do Queenie Eye. The song, nor album, are eligible for anything this year.
Perhaps he wants to get a head start on next year . Seriously, I think Paul really can't win with us. We criticize him for playing too many Beatles songs on tour, then criticize him for playing his current stuff. I'm guilty of this too . Actually, I like the idea of him playing stuff that shows he's still active and relevant. By the way, it sucks to be in the mountain time zone, as it looks like we will have an hour's delay in seeing the broadcast. It's not that he can't win with me. I like Queenie Eye and most of the songs on New. It's just that I think the Grammies is to celebrate the music and the artists who created music during the "Grammy Year." Since Kisses on the Bottom was the album he did during the last Grammy year, that's the one he should perform. Or, music from the other "technical" nominations ( Wings Over America and Kisses on the Bottom). By the way, I just figured out why, perhaps, Ringo and Paul should not perform together as part of the Beatles' induction - especially with other people. Haven't we, and they, always say that as long as John is dead (and now George) that the Beatles will never be? Well, in that spirit, if they were to play after they got they got the Lifetime Achievement Award, it would be billed as the Beatles. I'd love it, but it would be against everything most of us have said. Now, if they play as Paul and Ringo, that's one thing, but as the Beatles? Don't know. Now, here I go being hypocritical. I think the CBS Ed Sullivan Special is a little different. I don't really know why, but it just seems different to me. I doesn't seem to be that they would be playing AS THE BEATLES, whereas at the Grammies it would be that way. Yeah, I know, doesn't make sense, but that's how I'm feeling. Maybe it's like The Concert for Bangla Desh or the Concert for George weren't seen as Beatles reunions, nor the Prince's Trust with George and Ringo. Maybe it's because the Grammies are celebrating the Beatles, whereas the Ed Sullivan show anniversary is about a performance, a historical moment.

That was good, particularly with Ringo at his drums.
I enjoyed watching Yoko and Sean getting into it. Yoko was twisting and Sean seemed into it.
The video footage on the screen sometimes distracted the cameramen's attention as I wanted that camera focused on Paul and Ringo and folks like Yoko and Sean. I could have done without seeing Nancy's little gesture at the end but that is just me.
So do all the Beatles and widows get to go on stage for that lifetime award? I want to see that but I am otherwise sick of the show in general.

Told you all that "new" could be turned into a commercial! I was thinking Target, not tablets, but still.

Ring very focused on the song. Probably not rehearsed so it would be a total surprise. So glad it happened.

I thought Paul handled the vocal very well for "Queenie Eye". It was good to see Ringo on drums, but to me he seemed rather unsure as he kept looking over at Paul's regular drummer Abe, who played the more complicated drum parts. Ringo struck me as being unfamiliar with the new song.
