Beatle buzz for brothers at Live 8

Adam and Joe in their costumes with Sir Paul McCartney

SGT Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band came to life for two brothers when they joined Sir Paul McCartney on stage at Live 8.

Professional musicians Adam, 32, and Joe Walters, 28, were two of the four horn players dressed in the famous Beatles Sgt Pepper costumes and performed with Sir Paul and U2 during the opening and last set of Live 8.

The brothers, who were brought up in Avon Road, Walthamstow, played in front of an estimated audience of two billion people, 200,000 of whom were in Hyde Park and the rest watching the show on televisions across the world on July 2.

Adam said: "It was an amazing experience and a great honour to play with Sir Paul McCartney.

"It was incredible. We are both big Beatles fans. Sir Paul was such a nice guy and when we came off the stage at the end of the concert he gave us a hug and told us we had all just made history.

"He even talked to us about performing with the Beatles at the old Granada in Hoe Street, which is now the EMD Cinema."

The brothers, who started learning their instruments through the council-run Waltham Forest Music Service, were asked to take part in the concert by a friend of Adam's.

He is a fixer for Sir Paul, which means he books musicians for concerts and album recordings.

Adam and Joe cleared their diaries and made sure they were free for the concert.

Joe, who is also in bands called Stereolab and The Local Show, said: "We had three rehearsals of the song before the big event. My mouth was pretty dry before we went on and when we were on stage all we could see was a sea of people.

"We had access-all-areas passes for backstage and saw so many celebrities including Robbie Williams and U2. It was a great atmosphere and strange to see everyone mixing. We saw Sir Bob Geldof talking to Kofi Annan, Seretary General of the United Nations.

"There was even an impromptu sing-a-long with Sir Paul and his band behind the scenes. When you think back to what we were a part of, it is almost like a dream."

STATUS QUO SLAM LIVE 8 'EGOS'

British rockers STATUS QUO have slammed SIR PAUL McCARTNEY's behaviour at the London Live 8 concert earlier this month (02JUL05) - because they believe he was determined to hog the limelight.

The ROCKIN' ALL OVER THE WORLD hitmakers played at 1985's Live Aid show and their request to play a song at the historic gig was snubbed by organiser SIR BOB GELDOF

Singer FRANCIS ROSSI blames the egocentric actions of other stars for knocking Status Quo off the bill.

He says, "They all wanted to cherry pick when they could play. McCartney wasn't even satisfied with opening Live 8 with U2. He had to come back on later once he heard PINK FLOYD were doing it because he didn't want to be upstaged.

"So playing with U2 obviously wasn't good enough for him. Add to that the lot of them onstage, including McCartney, at the end and he's been hogging the stage."

Rossi goes on to play down the impact of Geldof's initiatives to tackle famine, disease and poverty: "They could hold another Live Aid in 20 years and things will be the same.

"I don't know the answers to the problems of the world, but I know that playing a gig such as Live 8 isn't it. There was something off about the whole thing and what Bob Geldof was doing singing onstage if we couldn't play there, I'll never know."

GELDOF'S APPEARANCE FEES ROCKET FOLLOWING LIVE 8 SUCCESS

Campaigning rocker SIR BOB GELDOF's public-speaking fees have rocketed from $54,000 (GBP30,000) to $90,000 (GBP50,000) per talk - following his worldwide exposure at last month's (JUL05) star-studded Live 8 concert.

The Kruger Crowe agency reassessed Geldof's fees after the historic gig, which the former BOOMTOWN RAT organised to persuade G8 leaders to cancel debt in the developing world, double the aid budget and rewrite global trade laws.

And agency bosses are negotiating huge fees for a lecture tour Geldof plans to make across America.

Marketing director MARK KRUGER says, "We reassessed his fees after Live 8. We have about 20 people on our books, including GORDON RAMSAY, RUBY WAX and JOHN SIMPSON but Geldof is absolutely the most in demand. Everyone wants him.

"We upped his fees to GBP50,000 and now we are in New York arranging a talk tour for him across America."

Elton calls Live 8 'anti-climax'

Sir Elton John has called last month's Live 8 concert "an anti-climax" that lacked many highlights.

Speaking to the Telegraph newspaper, Sir Elton said the concert in London's Hyde Park lacked "a sense of occasion".

"I was very pleased to be a part of it, but I didn't think it was anywhere near as good as the first one. How could it be?" he said.

Sir Elton sang a duet at Live 8 with Babyshambles singer Pete Doherty, which failed to impress critics.

Doherty 'a mess'

Sir Elton said they had rehearsed their rendition of Children of the Revolution to "tip-top" perfection.

But he said on the day he thought Doherty was "really nervous", which affected the performance.

Sir Elton said Doherty was "a mess" and added: "I don't the people around him set a good example, which is a shame."

Speaking about Live 8, Sir Elton said: "The thought behind it was fantastic but Hyde Park is a charisma-free zone.

"There was no sense of occasion and from a musical point, I didn't think there were too many highlights."

London's Live 8 concert was one of a series of global gigs organised by Bob Geldof to highlight poverty in Africa and third world debt.

Among those who performed were Robbie Williams, Coldplay, Sir Paul McCartney and Madonna.

Sir Elton also admitted that he had a tendency to upset people with his outspoken views, including Madonna and George Michael.

He said he had made amends with George Michael but that Madonna had not forgiven him for his public claim that she mimed on stage in 2004.

"I did send her two Christmas cards and they both came back," Sir Elton said.

>The Beatles - Off The Record 1964-1966.

Вообще-то это оффтоп, но так уж и быть отвечу - песня эта не битловская (хотя сам долгое время считал, что это что-то из невыпущенного), а авторства кавер-группы The Overtures, которая собственно и делает всю озвучку к этому фильму. Для справки рекомендую посмотреть титры в конце.
