My favorite part of this is Jimmy Niccol’s hilariously bad miming skills. He definitely wasn’t a showbiz kind of musician!

I believe Lord Reith to have captured the true essence of tonsillitis when he was able to separate the soundtrack of the two distinct halves of miming into the commercial version with dead 'open' mics and a spirited stand in named Jimmy Nichol. It wasn't destined for greatness. Jimmy was fine as he remained available as cannon fodder until the other three were out of danger! But, there is a valuable lesson here. Nichol was never going to fill Ringo's shoes. But then, who could have? Jimmy did a great job of laughing at John Lennon's every remark and THAT might have been the teflon that saved them. Whatever the problems with local audience members...be it lack of domestic structure/stability, alcoholism, or old fashioned lack of manners, I guarantee you The Beatles would be ever so sure to NOT bring a lenient attitude to the security protocols ever again...(Manila???). The municipality that was hosting this chaos should pride itself on the absolute rudeness of their youthful latencies. Can we assume the fracus was catalyzed by a resentment of Beatles miming? Well, then next time it won't cost anything to not please you! Rude and Clean! How's that for a combination?
Scarey!
