It's International Beatleweek in this week! Brought to us by Cavern City Tours in Merseyside, it's an annual celebration of the music of the Fab Four with live music all week long at the famous Cavern Club.

To celebrate the beginning of the week, and inspired by the 60th Anniversary of their Shea Stadium concert, I popped on this legendary live album on my Yellow Submarine turntable. This is "The Beatles At The Hollywood Bowl" - Released on Capitol Records in 1977 it was the only official live album release from The Beatles at the time taken from their performances in 1964 and 1965. Brought to us by George Martin and engineer Geoff Emerick as an intense labor of love, it is for those unlucky fans (like myself) who wanted to witness the magic of a live Beatles concert to the tune of 13 iconic songs and about 17,000 screaming girls.

Happy International Week!

An incredible legacy kept alive by Roger Daltrey and Pete Townsend for all these years! Extremely lucky to see them on tour at the Prudential Center on December 6, 2012 doing “Quadrophenia.”

Legendary rock band The Who is saying goodbye to fans on their final North American tour. Here's how to get tickets.

in 1965, released their fifth studio album "Help!"

Just like their album, "A Hard Day's Night," Side One features all the songs from their hit movie of the same name. Side Two contains the most covered song in music history - "Yesterday." The one thing that always stood out to me when it comes to this album is that the title track was written as a literal cry for 'help' from John. He had always gone on record saying how the effects of touring, the press' comments, recording and his personal life have taken a physical and emotional toll on him. In fact, John's version of the song was meant to be slower and more personal instead of the upbeat, pop style of the final mix.

What's your favorite song from the album?
