I am listening to the second show right now. Cat Power as the opener, Two of my all time favorites. Matt seemed to be quite talkative during night 2 also.

Day 3 - Saturday Night Live
How fortuitous. A chance to play my most recent pickup in a challenge.
So the better half and I went to a record store last night to let the end of the week wash over us. This one was staring us right in the face as we walked in. Funny enough, it was on my Discogs wishlist as it has performances by Norah Jones, Weird Al, and Conan O'Brien on it which is enough for me to get any compilation
This 3xlp is completely stacked though and despite it being a trifold (blah) is absolutely high quality otherwise. Worth a look for so many people
Various - George Fest - A Night to Celebrate the Music of George Harrison

DAY 4: WHEN THEY WAS FAB
This week in 1964, the Beatles became the first act to occupy the top 5 spots on Billboard’s Hot 100 singles chart simultaneously, something no other band or artist has been able to accomplish yet!
To commemorate that historic moment, PLAY A BEATLES RECORD (or something Beatles-related if for some reason you don’t have a Beatles record)
The Beatles - “The Ballad of John and Yoko” b/w “Old Brown Shoe”
Two songs not in the mono box set and the oldest 45 in my collection! …I think

Day 4 Beatles
The 1960s were a decade when rock n’ roll was sweeping the scene and the British Invasion came knocking on US doors. Teens all over the world defined themselves by one thing, whether they were loyal to The Beatles or The Rolling Stones, and the rivalry didn’t stop with the fans. Though the two legendary groups were never to admit that they were in open competition with each other, it was hard to disregard the clear attempts to outperform one another on the charts week by week.
So not having any Beatles albums on vinyl (I got most of the studio album releases on CD though) I've decided to go for some Rolling Stones today
The Rolling Stones "On Air. BBC Recordings"

play a Beatles record
The Beatles - Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band
This is the only Beatles album I own on vinyl because I’m waiting for an opportunity to pick up the mono box set. But I was curious about this recent stereo mix done by Giles Martin. I was pleasantly surprised. The bass is a lot louder than I would have expected giving it a very full and deep sound. Paul’s bass on this is fantastic so I don’t mind at all.

Damn, I need to upgrade this. My copy sounds like shit. This edition is not the best to start with, but my pressing is also a mess.
I had that pressing too a while ago. It sounded so bad I just got rid of it. Unlistenable for me.

Well this is easy when you only have three choices and you played two yesterday.
The Beatles - 1967-1970

I hadn't played this in a while. I didn't remember my pressing was filled with swishing and non-fill on top of not being great. It pushes this up the list for a new copy, because as far as I'm concerned I don't have an Abbey Road now. It went straight to the goodwill pile after playing it - I can't even pif this in good conscience.
EDIT: How's the 50th?
Same issues on my end. I listened to it twice I think and then sold it to my local for a few bucks at most.
I actually haven’t heard the 50th or even looked into it. I was skeptical of it since I’m not sure how you could improve from the original mix. Abbey Road is probably my favorite sounding Beatles album, I can’t think of anything I’d want changed!

The only thing cooler than ska is christian ska
