I will be posting Beatles trivia questions each week. The answer that is posted first will receive either; 2 tickets to the next Beatles concert, or a stout congratulations and a firm handshake from the good Doctor himself. Also, I will take on all challengers to present Beatles trivia questions to me. If I can not answer, and you provide me with your mailing address, I will drop by in the wee hours to check your tire pressure.

On August 29th, 1966 at 8:00 PM the Beatles took the stage for what would be the last (paid) concert they were ever to perform. The concert lasted 33 minutes with the Beatles performing 11 songs.
What was the last song they played that night?

I believe the answer to that question is surprising in that the last song performed by the Beatles at a paid concert was not even one of their own, but rather a song by the name of "Long Tall Sally" written by one of McCartney's early influences... Little Richard. Good one...

That was a good one, Doc. Here's one for you.... (I like my tires at 37.5 PSI)
Who was the "Martha" that inspired McCartney to write "Martha My Dear?"

Most people would assume that Martha, from the famed song "Martha My Dear" by Paul McCartney, was a lady friend. But as truth would have it, Martha was Paul's beloved sheepdog. Thank you Mr. Steel for you attempt to stump the master.

What song includes Yoko Ono singing the only female lead vocal on a Beatles recording, for a single line.

The most covered Beatles song was I believe "Yesterday" off of the Help album?

I believe, Mr. Steel, the first Beatles song to include a female vocal contribution was the Continuing Story of Bungalow Bill. Yoko sang the line "not when he looked so fierce" and Maureen Starky sang the harmony.

Good one! You are indeed the consumate evil Beatles trivia master.
In response to your question- it is a toughy. I wonder if Paul would remember which tune? It could be any song from Sgt. Peppers... and I don't know which song they recorded first, but I'd have to guess "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds."
Show me the money
