Ringo and the big band at the mansion

I was hanging out in a small, cozy living room (I think maybe it had the dark brown shag carpet that we used to have) with a guy and girl I knew, watching TV on an old set (maybe the wood-paneled Zenith TV we used to own). On TV was a rare recording (in black and white) of an early Beatles performance in England. The setting looked like maybe one end of a ballroom or other function hall in a mansion. Ringo was standing with a microphone, singing an uncharacteristically soulful song (also, maybe sort of slow and big-band-like). I didn't actually spot the rest of the Beatles, but I assumed they were behind him somewhere. However, on all sides of Ringo were at least six or seven other backup musicians.

To Ringo's left (right from the viewer's perspective) was a guy playing a full drum set. At one point in the song, he did a fancy drum fill where he started in the seated position, then hopped up and walked off the front-right corner of the stage area and off the screen, hitting three or four cymbals on stands as he walked. Another guy who was playing hand percussion behind Ringo stepped over to the drum set and hit a couple things to finish off the part.

Meanwhile, I was wondering to myself if I could find a download for this on the Internet. I wasn't sure what search terms to use, though. The location had flashed up at the beginning of the performance, but all I could remember was that it had the letters "ea" in it somewhere, which didn't narrow it down much.

Strange drum set

I was attending some concert (can't recall whether or not I played in the first act). When the second act came on, I noticed that there wasn't much to it, a very minimal setup, and, notably, no percussion. I offered to play drums and walked out into the hallways (sort of like a school building's hallways) and found my drum set in the hall. I sat down to look at it and tinker a bit. First, I noticed that there were no crash or ride cymbals, and the hi-hats' cymbals had been replaced by thick, gray cafeteria trays, which, while they made a metallic sound when I hit them, were much too quiet. I then noticed that my normal hi-hats were also present, on a second stand behind that.

Running late for the concert; watching, playing...

Finishing up dinner at home with the family, I was getting ready to head out to a late show in the city where Frau Eva (Dave, Vanessa, and Ben) were playing. They were supposed to start around 9:30, but as music shows always start late, I was planning to leave just a little before 9:30. However, when I looked at my watch, it was 9:40 already before I had left. I decided to give Ben a call, but couldn't get through.

In a related dream, I was actually at their show, in a smallish dream venue that I think I've seen before (i.e. in other dreams). But weirdly, my point of view was mixed between watching the show and identifying with myself, who was also on stage, as part of the band, playing some stuff. Lou Black was playing too. I can't recall exactly what kind of tunes we played.

Lots of water in the dorm

Lots of water dripping from ceilings in the hall's dorm rooms. Our ceiling is intact with widespread dripping. Other ceilings are broken up and hanging in bits, with more water. I planned to go to the attic to escape the drippage for some reason. Never went there, though. Ended up going to a dry room w/ Shelley D & others, watched some concert or live performance (nice bass guitar), lights off in room.

The annoying twins; disturbing the peace

Visiting Raymond in Idaho? Woody, rocky, country city area...

Ray works at this restaurant.. caféish, Italian maybe, like a pizza parlor... The place is empty of people, closed for the day... me and Ray are sitting at a table. Two annoying fat twins in blue shirts are peeping in the window outside...

Then they're inside. One is sitting at a table, being annoying, seems like he's trying to pick a fight... starts talking all high pitched and anxious... keeps saying "You gonna hit me in the eye?" "You gonna hit me in the eye?" And eventually Ray gives him a black eye to get him to shut up.

Later, at the same or similar place with a heavy rock band... they get too loud and we all go to jail for disturbing the peace... I was dejected because I didn't have much time left to spend with Ray before leaving and here I am in jail...
