S4 E13 - ARCHIVE EDITION - Let It Be - Musician Dave Bidini of The Rheostatics

Fifty-five years ago, The Beatles performed a legendary 42-minute set on the rooftop of 3 Savile Row in Central London during lunchtime. This iconic performance, as well as their Shea Stadium shows and appearances on The Ed Sullivan Show, holds a special place in the hearts of Beatles fans worldwide. To commemorate this historic event, we’ve delved into The Walrus Was Paul archives and unearthed a captivating conversation from 2021. Hosted by Paul Romanuk, the conversation features Dave Bidini, a renowned musician and member of the beloved and eclectic Canadian band The Rheostatics. Bidini shares his deep emotional connection to the album The Beatles were recording during the rooftop gig, Let It Be, and also offers insights into his life and experiences with The Rheostatics.
