- The infamous, chaotic, riot inducing performance from Tater Totz at the 1988 Beatlefest at the Bonaventure Hotel, Downtown Los Angeles. This one time line up included 1970's teen idol Jimmy McNichol on percussion, Steve McDonald on bass, Bill Bartell (aka Pat Fear) on guitar, Jennifer Schwartz on vocals, Victor Indrizzo on drums, and Dave Markey on bongos and backing vocals. Beatle fans were not ready for a rip roaring version of Plastic Ono Band's "Don't Worry Kyoko", this caused many of the audience to protest. The band was lead off of the property by security right after the performance. Keep in mind, this documentation starts well into this said performance.

This is the greatest work of art in the history of the world.
I still get a rise out of people when I play Plastic Ono Band records.
Super Group way ahead of there time.
I was lucky enough to see perform Live at the Fillmore East and MSG.
Yoko and Sean performed recently in NYC with a new piece saw it on Letterman amazing
Still the greatest live performance I've ever seen! The audience hated them!
Bagism and brilliant! Shambolic genius.
I put a plastic bag like that over my head in 5th grade - to make a rain poncho for a field trip. The teacher FREAKED OUT screaming that I was going to suffocate myself. I think I made a hole just like she did - AFTER it was on my head.
I was there digging it all. I thought that it was great. Am listening to one of their CD's right now. I have attended 19 Beatles Conventions in Los Angeles from 76 until 2000. The quake in 94 threw me over here to Phoenix. Sure miss those fab weekends. At least I have most of them either still on cassette or CD.
I was AT this Beatlefest (it was my first one), but somehow missed this brilliant performance. As I was only 17 at the time, I probably wouldn't have appreciated the awesomeness of it then as I do now. I discovered the Tater Totz in the early 90s when I found Mono on cassette and have been a fan ever since. GREAT upload and thanks for sharing!!
+dave idmarx Yes, i was at this Beatlefest along with 18 others back home in Los Angeles. This was the first riot of sorts at Beatlefest. I was digging it. I do have this convention and most of the others i have attended . Sure do miss those fab weekends. The quake from 22 years ago today threw me over here 400 miles away. Amazing that one event changed my life forever. Sure miss the home land as well. I do have both of Tater Totz cds. They do a fantastic cover of 'Tomorrow never knows." They also were part of the punk band Red Kross
awesome... making those Beatle Boomers' heads explode is always a beautiful thing
Thank you SO much for uploading this! Just shared it on Yer Doin Great's Facebook page. I'm sure you know, a whole lotta folks have been waiting for 20+ years to see this!
hooray it's back on youtube
I was there for that performance. Wayyyyy cool!
So was I. Have most of the 19 conventions either on CDor on cassette. Miss those fab days
I really miss Bill Bartell. This world is a much less interesting place without him.
That’s some serious Bagism
this is mother fucking brilliant. rip bb
awesome
I'm sure John woulda approved👍
Jimmy McNichol rocks!
I was screaming along with the song and I happen to enjoy most of Yoko's music anyway. I can greatly relate to her pain. To bad I can't find a version of them doing Tomorrow never knows here on You Tube.
way better than pearl jam
i wasnt prepared for this!!!!!!!!! wow!
"LIVE HATE AT BEATLE-FEST" APPLECORE RECORDS
I have the event now on CD after having it on tape for years. Remember It very well. Forgot to ask, how were you able to film it? I still dig it .STILL HAVE BOTH OF THEIR ALBUMS
bagist excellence.
They were singing Give Peace A Chance while they were walking out of the ballroom. My friend went out to talk to them quickly. He wanted to perform with them but couldn't find them in time. Still love it, whether the other supposed Beatles fans die or not. Ck out the video i did of them performing Tommorow never knows. A psychedelic mind trip . I have most of the 19 conventions still on audio and have quite a few photos. Would you have any more video available by any chance?
that's it
Wow.
Holy Crap! Bill and Jeff told me about this when it happened...
Does Any More Footage Exist???
Just how did they get on the bill, anyway?
