LECTURE 5: INFLUENCES (PART 2): The Beatles in concert in Sweden!!! (How do you say, “HELL YEAH!!!” in Swedish??). This footage, from 1963, shows the band rockin’ the house with their version of Little Richard’s “Long Tall Sally.” Interestingly, the last Beatles album to be released exclusively in Canada was – you guessed it – LONG TALL SALLY, which appeared in record stores across the country on May 11, 1964. It bore a striking similarity to The Beatles Second Album, released around the same time south of the border, in the United States.

During one of our paid gigs at the Wilson Hall, I remember a drunken Teddy Boy at the front of the stage became fixated on the group, haranguing us and eventually managing to engage Paul in conversation. This was a learning curve for Paul: don't engage in conversation with the audience if you can at all avoid it, especially if they were Teds. Especially big, mean, drunken Teds. Paul was shaking his head in the direction of the Ted saying "No, no," but the more Paul shook his head the more determined the Ted was to get Paul to do what he wanted. Eventually he climbed on the stage, all the time demanding that we perform 'Long Tall Sally', which Paul was refusing to do. As a group at this stage we hadn't planned to do this number because we hadn't rehearsed it. Paul certainly knew it well enough; it was one of his 'party pieces' from before joining us. Paul knowing it was not the same as having rehearsed it as a group. Anyway, this Ted was having none of it. He refused point blank to leave the stage. With one hand tied behind his back, he could have made mincemeat of the lot of us if we'd tried to make him do so. Tempers would not hold much longer. His temper, I mean. Realising this, Paul relented and agreed to sing the song provided the Ted left the stage, which to all our relief - especially Paul's - he did. Needless to say, the moment the guy left the stage, Paul launched himself into 'Long Tall Sally' and I remember he really gave it some wellie. Fortunately for us, this satisfied our customer to the point he didn't come back with another request.
