Silver Laughter 1978 – Jon, Mick, Paul and Ken

Here is yet another version of “I Want To Hold Your Hand” from our Beatles Tribute. Culled from set #2 which was over 50 minutes long, it got a great crowd response from the Port Byron audience in 1978. What cannot be seen is the films and slides which went along with this presentation, all of which no longer exist. I’m sure the projectors have long since stopped working too!

The photo is from the Rock Island session taken in 1978 just before Paul left the band and Kim “Slim” came back.
