23
00:01:05,360 --> 00:01:07,920
Speaker 1: a lot of free time, and everybody else would. I

24
00:01:07,959 --> 00:01:10,000
Speaker 1: don't know. They went to bars, they hung out, they

25
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:13,319
Speaker 1: did things. I got a backpack and I would just

26
00:01:13,440 --> 00:01:16,920
Speaker 1: walk all around Sydney. I had water in the backpack

27
00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:21,120
Speaker 1: and sometimes they you know, a couple of cookies and

28
00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:25,199
Speaker 1: I just take off walking and I just loved it.

29
00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:26,880
Speaker 1: It was a good way to get to know the city.

30
00:01:27,080 --> 00:01:29,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, well this city loves you and you love

31
00:01:29,440 --> 00:01:32,000
Speaker 4: going to the races. But to you when the girls

32
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:34,440
Speaker 4: have been overserved, as you've said in the.

33
00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:39,800
Speaker 1: Past, they yeah, they were. They kind of. They dress up.

34
00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:42,840
Speaker 1: The women dress up so beautifully, and I feel bad

35
00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:45,119
Speaker 1: for him. Sometimes you see a woman dressed I mean

36
00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:49,600
Speaker 1: to the nines, beautiful hat, beautiful outfit, and her boyfriend's

37
00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:51,200
Speaker 1: got Levi's and a T shirt.

38
00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:54,760
Speaker 2: That's how come on, guys, that's how the girls look

39
00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:57,160
Speaker 2: going in. I live not far from the race course

40
00:01:57,360 --> 00:02:00,640
Speaker 2: and the view coming out sometimes carrying the shoes and

41
00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:04,720
Speaker 2: holding a hatful of spew. But that's not everybody, you know.

42
00:02:04,760 --> 00:02:06,880
Speaker 4: I've been reading this book about the Beatles, and I

43
00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:08,799
Speaker 4: remember the last time we spoke to you. We spoke

44
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:11,480
Speaker 4: to you about the time you're sitting with Paul McCartney

45
00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:14,360
Speaker 4: and you wanted to talk to him about Hamburg. And

46
00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:17,320
Speaker 4: I've just been reading this book and I get it.

47
00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:19,239
Speaker 4: I get what you were talking about. That whole ear

48
00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:21,280
Speaker 4: of the Beatles when they're in Hamburg just before they

49
00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:23,440
Speaker 4: took off was absolutely amazing.

50
00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:25,240
Speaker 3: But that that I just loved that story.

51
00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:27,800
Speaker 4: You say you're sitting next to Paul McCartney and he says,

52
00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:29,680
Speaker 4: you know, it's about that time in Hamburg.

53
00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:35,040
Speaker 1: You know I love Paul McCartney, because I go, what

54
00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:37,960
Speaker 1: a sweet guy. Because I let me just set the

55
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:40,600
Speaker 1: picture where I'm sitting outside of the studio. I didn't

56
00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:43,000
Speaker 1: want to bother Paul. I'd met him before, he'd had

57
00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:45,520
Speaker 1: me sing on stage with him for some little thing

58
00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:48,000
Speaker 1: at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame or something.

59
00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:51,320
Speaker 1: He so i'd met him peripherally, you know. I was

60
00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:55,040
Speaker 1: just I'm just another musician, though I'm thinking. He comes out,

61
00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:57,160
Speaker 1: sits down next to me, he goes, Hi, Chris, how

62
00:02:57,160 --> 00:02:57,560
Speaker 1: are you doing?

63
00:02:57,800 --> 00:02:58,000
Speaker 4: Oh?

64
00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:00,000
Speaker 1: And I go like, Hi, Paul. I didn't want to

65
00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:02,240
Speaker 1: bother you, but I knew you were here, you know.

66
00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:06,080
Speaker 1: And he started in talking about the early days of

67
00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:08,640
Speaker 1: the Beatles and in being in Hamburg, and he talked

68
00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:12,000
Speaker 1: about it for about an hour. I mean it went

69
00:03:12,040 --> 00:03:14,360
Speaker 1: on and on, and I was like, it was like

70
00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:16,880
Speaker 1: Santa Claus coming to you and say, hey, Chris, did

71
00:03:16,880 --> 00:03:18,640
Speaker 1: I ever tell you how I picked Rudolph to be

72
00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:22,040
Speaker 1: a reindeer? You were just I was like, I was

73
00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:25,480
Speaker 1: just going, this is so cool. And I didn't bring

74
00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:28,880
Speaker 1: up Hamburg. He did, and I think he I think

75
00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:30,800
Speaker 1: he did that because he's just a nice guy, and

76
00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:33,359
Speaker 1: he went this musician would love to hear about this,

77
00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:34,320
Speaker 1: and I'm going to tell.

78
00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:37,000
Speaker 3: Him, have you ever been to Hamburg to perform?

79
00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:39,560
Speaker 1: Yes? I have, and I you know, I looked at

80
00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:42,040
Speaker 1: all those places that you know, the Star Club and

81
00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:44,880
Speaker 1: the places they used to play, and they still have

82
00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:50,400
Speaker 1: prostitutes running the streets there, and it's it's hilarious, but

83
00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:53,960
Speaker 1: it makes you realize where they came from. Is it

84
00:03:54,040 --> 00:03:58,400
Speaker 1: wasn't all It wasn't all as sanitized as it later became.

85
00:03:58,600 --> 00:03:59,880
Speaker 1: You know, the Beatles later.

86
00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:03,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, And when you're coming to a stratage, you're bringing Kenny,

87
00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:04,000
Speaker 2: You're bringing the gang.

88
00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:08,520
Speaker 1: I am bringing the gang. You have to shoot yourself

89
00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:10,120
Speaker 1: in the foot to get out of this band.

90
00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:12,160
Speaker 3: Good Ben.

91
00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:17,159
Speaker 1: I think it's been almost forty years with these guys.

92
00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:19,520
Speaker 1: The nice thing about it is we make a set list,

93
00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:21,800
Speaker 1: but if we want to play something else, we can

94
00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:24,200
Speaker 1: turn on a dime because everybody knows the tunes.

95
00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:24,800
Speaker 3: Yeah.

96
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:27,839
Speaker 4: Well, like we just love you know, whenever you just

97
00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:30,200
Speaker 4: break into any song. We could be talking about any song.

98
00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:32,440
Speaker 4: And I'm not saying, you know, just break into a

99
00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:33,480

Speaker 3: and it just happens.

102
00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:40,320
Speaker 4: I kind of say, there's the guitar, so it's just

103
00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:43,520
Speaker 4: it's just hiding there. It's just hiding there like a.

104
00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:48,880
Speaker 1: Like a ruse on fire. No one saved me but
