Bruce Spizer has just released his 17th and "final" book on The Beatles and is hosting a program at the Prytania Theater in NOLA today. I'm not going this time due to football, but may try to catch his presentation at the library Tuesday night.

Did you happen to go to his presentation? If so, how was it?
He's written some good stuff.

I was not able to go to his presentation, but he is always very engaging and has multimedia to share along with stories about meeting Ringo, George Martin and others, and about how he avoided approaching McCartney at an event he attended in L.A. He has even mentioned meeting Chas Newby, a guy who played bass for the group but did not want to return to Hamburg, causing Paul to switch to bass. I had never heard of the guy, so that's a better trivia question than Stu Sutcliffe.
Bruce is a tax attorney and I have consulted him about tax issues and for referral to a CPA because I had a complicated 2024 return to file. Turned out his CPA referral was the brother of a guy who played on a baseball team with me. Small world. Bruce publishes quality books, and has autographed a few for my daughter. He is such an expert that he was asked to review the re-issues on vinyl some years back and noticed that the first Beatles album was actually pressed at the wrong speed and each song was about a second too fast.

No, I wasn't aware of it. I saw him talk at the library once. There is a pretty good crowd of local Beatles fans here apparently.
Yesterday (no pun intended) I found that he has some interview vids on YouTube including one with Keith Spera, the music writer from the newspaper who is an excellent interviewer of celebs.

Richard Avedon, 1967

If he (Spizer) ever comes to the Mobile area, I'd love to go listen to him. I have one of his books-"The Beatles are Coming". Good stuff.

The Beatles - "The Night Before" (live on the BBC, May 26 1965)
A favorite of mine (and, not that it matters, Paul McCartney), There was actually a debate whether it would be a single, before the band decided on "Ticket To Ride".
This was the only time the band played the song live. The instrument at the beginning is John on electric piano, the same instrument Ray Charles plays on "What'd I Say".

All good tunes.
They're supposed to release that last BBC Sessions album soon. May 1965. It's supposed to contain takes from their 50th-52nd appearances.
Hopefully... fingers crossed.
