Italy 1965


So who had the great idea of riding with the top down?


I would guess that the guys with the Beatles are the opening act? Regardless...the Beatles look WAY cooler than those guys ever will be....

  3. Yes, the guys with the Beatles are the opening act. They were called "I Samurai" (https://www.discogs.com/sell/list?artist_id=1765406&ev=ab).
    "The Beatles look WAY cooler than those guys ever will be." - Agree, even though my dad is pretty cool ;)

    Yes Alejandro, you're very right about the Charly Max and Augusto Righetti e Le Ombre. I am Franco (Gianfranco actually) Verde, the drummer of Le Ombre and I can confirm all of the other names of the band. Last year in September I attended a Paul McCarthy's concert in Sydney and I had the pleasure and the honour of being part of a small group of people participating to a "Meet & Greet" with Paul before the start of his show. I brought with me a copy of the same photo taken at The Charly Max in Milan and Paul said to me that he remembered the late evening in the club where they all had pasta drenched with good whisky, including Brian Epstein who was there as well. Cheers and thank you for bringing back some fantabulous memories.
