Consider the Beatles’ films "A Hard Day’s Night" and "Help!" As for performance, I think it’s clear that even that aspect of music has become much more visual over time.

Al – thank you very much (and thanks to Sandy too).

It is hard to put myself in your shoes, admiring the room that day.

But I can say "WOW! about the article, for it conveys the feeling you had. Thanks for transporting us to that day. I had to share the link with Sandy – and She said "WOW! David is a terrific writer!!!"

*Recorded music* has never been a visual medium. *Live performance music* always has been.
