    Wow. What a great video. Styx doing the Beatles with the help of a bunch of talented child musicians.

    This masterpiece, this incredible creation is my absolute favorite Beatles song! In 1967 my best friends mother took us to a department store where we both bought the 45 with the Beatles release hello goodbye but little did I know that on the flipside of that 45 there would be a song that would literally change my life! I am the walrus! I was in second grade and OMG! It really opened me up to all the realms of music! From that point on I was on a definite journey and to this day I still play music and record.

    Just absolutely AWESOME. One of my favs! First chair violinist absoluteley rocks! What a talent she has. So does the whole orchestra...sooo talented. When he sings he sounds just like John....so much enthusiasm! I can tell the entire band loves playing this song. They just played Duquoin, IL 09/03/10 The keys were CRYSTAL clear. Also saw 'em in Detroit in '76...now they are better than ever. Keep on rockin guys! Tommy and JY...you RULE!

      I remember when Larry used to play in a rock band called Rheingold in Toronto in the '80s at a club called the Shamrock in Toronto at Coxwell and Gerrard anyone else remember??? doing covers like this in fact one of my favorites was when he did Babe and little did he know he was he going to sing it later when he joined Styx talk about a full circle great job Larry as usual from Pat's friend Norm the bass player from Blackjack but I doubt if you remember does Fallsview remind you of anything and I'm sure you remember Jackie. nudge nudge wink wink

    Oingo Boingo did a great job with this song as well back in the 80's. Danny Elfman put a good spin on it and took it to a heavy level with the guitars. Just with the band.
