Yes, it is a bit fast. But wouldn't you be playing a fast if your set was delayed from midnight on Sunday til 700am on Monday?

Rock on...

One of these polls. Hendrix was a genius, undoubtedly. But not so the 2nd on this poll.

AND A NICE SHORT ONE THE BEGINNING OF A HARD DAYS NIGHT

wikipedia:

"A Hard Day's Night" is immediately identifiable before the vocals even begin, thanks to George Harrison's unmistakable Rickenbacker 360/12 12-string guitar's "mighty opening chord".[13] According to George Martin, "We knew it would open both the film and the soundtrack LP, so we wanted a particularly strong and effective beginning. The strident guitar chord was the perfect launch"[10] having what Ian MacDonald calls "a significance in Beatles lore matched only by the concluding E major of A Day in the Life, the two opening and closing the group's middle period of peak creativity".[14] "That sound you just associate with those early 1960s Beatles records".[15]
