Yup. That.

Just a mere 4 years later, he was ordered to pay $587,000 to the Chiffons for plagiarising it.

The quiet Beatle was the best Beatle.

If there had been a Beatle album after Abbey Road, it would've been the best of all. Maybe I'm Amazed and Imagine would be on it, and My Sweet Lord, What Is Life, Isn't It A Pity, and Beware Of Darkness from George. Too bad.

uh...you mean Let It Be?

As I'm sure a multitude of Beatlemaniacs will inform you ...

... "Let It Be" was recorded before "Abbey Road" and released after.

sweet,it is on 4:20 am and I already learned something new for the day. That is a good start.

I still name him best-looking Beatle.

Paul's face was crooked and lumpy even then. Bleah.

Dancin_In_Anson: A much better "number" from the same concert...

I wouldn't say better, but definitely rare and very good. That 1 guy standing next to George looks exactly like the Spinal Tap guy.

pfff!

What IS that song? A big "shes so fine" ripoff ?

The Chiffons should sue him.

darn hippy ripoff artist....

Don't know who that is...I picked out Harrison, Clapton, Billy Preston and Ringo...but don't know who the dude playing the Ibanez is...

I liked this (new window) one better...the late, great, fricken awesome Pete Ham playing along. Unrehearsed too - Ham listened to the tape before the show and played it the first time live.

If we're playing "Link to your favorite Harrison song" I submit this...


You've given me a wah wah!! (new window)

Pete Ham should have been the greatest...evar.

/you are SO burning for that "lead hanger" line though!

Cool. Thanks...

Looking out of my lonely room...

/aisle seat, please.

Clapton was so stoned during this concert he apparently passed out on stage and had to be revived.

Great show, though.

Well, I mean, other than amongst Badfinger fans. And, save the window seat for me, I'll be there for something...

Badfinger's song, No Matter What is my #1 fave song of all time. I don't think a more perfect pop rock song has ever been recorded. Perfect intro, shot but awesome lap steel solo, harmonies of the gods.
