I'm assuming you are aware that they broadcast an all star concert from Ed Sullivan Theater to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Beatles first performance in the USA last night. I am torn between Joe Walsh and Gary Clark Jr. doing "While my Guitar Gently Weeps" where the guitar playing was awesome and Paul and Ringo doing "Sgt Pepper/Help from my Friends" was kinda sweet. http://www.cbs.com/shows/the-night-that-changed-america/ |

Tom Lehrer I hold your hand in mine, dear, I press it to my lips. I take a healthy bite From your dainty fingertips. My joy would be complete, dear, If you were only here, But still I keep your hand As a precious souvenir. The night you died I cut it off. I really don't know why. For now each time I kiss it I get bloodstains on my tie. I'm sorry now I killed you, For our love was something fine, And till they come to get me I shall hold your hand in mine. ...some things just can't be resisted. I wonder if The Beatles knew it? It certainly was around when they were gettin started. |

12 Feb 14 - 03:08 AM (#3600619) Subject: RE: BS: Your favo(u)rite Beatles tribute song. From: GUEST My apologies for disagreeing,Gillymor. "I Will" is one of my favorite Beatles songs, but I don't think that Alison Krauss' version comes close to doing it justice. (Not that I could do any better!) Her vocals are good, and the band is good, but I miss the harmonies! |

12 Feb 14 - 12:19 PM (#3600771) Subject: RE: BS: Your favo(u)rite Beatles tribute song. From: GUEST,gillymor No need for an apology, guest. I prefer the Beatles' "I Will" also but I think Alison and her band do it pretty good. Bainbo, thanks for that. Big Julie Fowlis fan here. My favorite Beatle cover is probably Eric Schoenbergs' fingerstyle guitar version of I'll Get You. Not really a great song but one of their best melodies, IMO. |

From: Jack the Sailor From: Peter the Squeezer - PM Date: 13 Feb 14 - 05:46 PM Agreed! - We have not had a harmonist to equal McCartney since him. I thought the three guys in front were all good at harmony. I love John's harmonies on Paul's lead vocals. Their voices all blended so well on the choruses. It was amazing I think it is why they credited the Everly Brothers as a key influence. |

16 Feb 14 - 07:52 AM (#3601908) Subject: RE: BS: Your favo(u)rite Beatles tribute song. From: GUEST,Les from Hull sans biscuit I've got to agree with the Spooky Tooth version of 'I am the walrus'. Also Emmylou Harris singing 'Here, there and everywhere', featuring Amos Garrett with some great guitar. The mention of 'Cheese and onions', a favourite track of John Lennon's apparently, may confuse people who are not familiar with the Rutles (the Prefab Four). The spoof documentary 'All you need is cash' featuring Eric Idle, contains all the songs that the Beatles never got round to writing, but fortunately Neil Innes was available to help out. Buy or borrow it! |
