That was pretty damn cool, minus Paul's flub. And on his own part of the song.

Heh.

Well, that was pretty remarkable. Would love to hear it with an orchestral section supporting the full arrangement.

Must've sucked sitting right behind Yoko with that damned top hat on...

Awesome- my favorite song by The Beatles :)

I love that song...

Well, you're half right. Eleanor Rigby wasn't great by Beatles standards.

That's a bit of a stretch from one thing to the other.

I was about to snark, but he kinda nailed it.

Boy, dude's voice is really giving out. I'm guessing that his age is catching up and "old person voice" is kicking in.

I didn't think this was bad, but shiat you made me laugh.

Eleanor Rigby House version (new window)

Another few remixes on dancerecords.com

Just not the same without Linda singing backup.

YOKO GO HOME!

Anything involving the Beatles is good.

That was awesome. Misstep on the lyrics aside, that gave me goosebumps.

Good for him.

I don't have to click and listen, do I?

Anyone know a link to the Wes Montgomery instrumental cover? I've heard it's great, but can't find it anywhere.

The 'Brew I used to listen to that wes montgomery cover before i ever heard the beatles version

my parents had that album, it was wes' most commercial venture
i think i remember an ashtray on the cover

my friend and i were in grade 6 and going to make a movie with his dad's super 8 camera. i had a song from that album lined up to be the theme song. haha.

musical memories, man.

I found the wes montgomery version on Limewire just now.

There's a few available.

Did ya'll know that John Lennon actually gave Yoko the last name Ono? Yep,the first time he saw her naked he said "Yoko, Ono!"


/hehe...a dog with Wings

My brain just had an orgasm!
Macca - you are my farking hero.

anyways, since Eleanor Rigby came up, you should all listen to
the cover Bloodrock did. brilliant!

My favorite Beatles song. Except it should be noted that John wrote the better half.

That was actually pretty awesome.....haters aside.


.....on a side note, I was in Vegas last week and caught that Beatles Cirque Du Soleil show, Love.


If you think you'd like sort of thing, and happen to be in Vegas, check it out.....really just incredible.

I have that version on vinyl. Nice record.

I got chills, but boy his voice comes and goes, especially during
the opening parts of the song.

That, and the seg into GIVE PEACE A CHANCE kinda comes out of
nowhere.

Is Yoko an official stalker now? Maybe Paul should get a restraining order.

Awesome song, and very cool that he dusted it off for the show. I'm not a big Macca fan, but that was nice.

It's good to see Paulie out having fun and over that mattress Mucca.
Watch out, though- Yoko knows you're up for grabs again. Don't drink her tea.

B-b-but, Paul is dead.

This song is about the crash.

/call the numbers, folks.
//paul is a dead man, miss him, miss him

Wes Montgomery - a day in the life. Don't know if it is the version you were thinking of. It is kind of orchestral and not entirely jazzy.

Paul is the best Beatle and fark everyone else who thinks otherwise in the ass with a kettlebell.

Paul is the best Beatle and fark everyone else who thinks otherwise in the ass with a kettlebell.

Since, I've never known a single person whose favorite Beatle is Paul, I assume you to be a troll. Regardless, I have to bite and give my two cents.

Paul was the most technically talented musician in the band. When George Martin wasn't playing piano, Paul was doing the heavy lifting, along with great guitar work in Taxman, Another Girl, The End, Yesterday, and more. Not to mention his legendary bass work. John even suggested, however tongue-in-cheek, that Ringo was not as good a drummer as Paul, although we all know that's not true.

The reason nobody I know likes Paul best (besides his increasingly commercial style in the 70's on) is that he has a HUGE ego and an aloofness in demeanor and lyrical intimacy that doesn't allow people to identify with him as much as they can with John and George. Since I noticed, nobody's been posting in this thread, I'll shut up now.
