Hmmm, BOS The Beatles.  WMGGW has pretty much settled into one of my personal top 5 spots of greatest songs ever - especially with all the great covers.

Not the most adventurous set ever, to put it lightly.  But for a first visit to '68, a wonderful collection of songs.

Missed listening in real time, had a phone meeting Friday am. But I fully agree with the above. No bad songs, but when the closest thing to a rarity is Gary Puckett's Young Girl, we're not digging too deep. Altogether a pleasant set, hope he gets more into the catalog as this goes on.
