caliber66 Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 "And Your Bird Can Sing." Was Lennon goofing on the Byrds with that one? They certainly weren't above such needling.Who knew Pat Sansone played bass for the Byrds? Link to post Share on other sites

lost highway Posted October 13, 2007 Share Posted October 13, 2007 every Beatles song is a fucking gem! One day I admitted to myself that this was not true. I thought I would be struck dead the instant I thought it..... But seriously, its funny how it feels like changing favorite Beatles albums or learning to appreciate your least favorite Beatle feels like a huge personal change. I used to thing Paul was nothing but a tool and that George was always a genius oppressed by egos. Turns out Paul had some streaks that beat the devil out of John's low points and George used to be a mediocre songwriter. He was however, oppressed by egos and later became an amazing songwriter.

wilcoheaven Posted April 10, 2008 Share Posted April 10, 2008 So This thread hasn't been opened in awhile, so I thought I would revisit. My favorite Beatles song is "Let It Be" I was on a terrible flight the other day and this was the only thing I could listen to. Link to post Share on other sites

The version on the original Let It Be album is one of my favorite recordings ever. When he hits the wrong chord in the last verse that is one of my favorite moments in music history.

hardwood floor Posted April 10, 2008 Share Posted April 10, 2008 when i was a kid, it was I Should Have Known Better. loved that song as a 13-year-old now ... probably across the universe i remember the morning after john lennon was killed, we were in central park for a memorial and they had these huge speakers set up and david sancious was i think at the capital theater in passaic playing improv piano and they were piping it into the park. was amazing. i remember him playing something that morphed into across the universe and it just was devastating Link to post Share on other sites

Sir Stewart Posted April 10, 2008 Share Posted April 10, 2008 Let It Be is definitely up there for me too - screw it, yeah. Let It Be is it. Like Paul mumbles in the intro of the version on Anthology: "This is gonna knock you out." Link to post Share on other sites
chumley Posted April 10, 2008 Share Posted April 10, 2008 Normally I say "I've Just Seen a Face" or "She Said She Said"...sometimes it's "And Your Bird Can Sing". But just now I decided that it's really "We Can Work it Out". Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Hollinger Posted April 10, 2008 Share Posted April 10, 2008 Guh? Ok, so it's far from my favorite Beatles song... I just like bringing it up. It's easy to overlook it as fluff from Paul, but I've always loved it as simple, straight forward songwriting. Maybe I'm crazy. Link to post Share on other sites
chinarider Posted April 10, 2008 Share Posted April 10, 2008 I used to have a boot of Phish doing the entire White Album on New Years Eve and they did Don't Pass Me By as a pretty rockin' bluegrass tune. I wish I could find that again... dcd Two things.... Since I have yet to chime in, I'll add only this... 1. Nearly impossible to answer as moods and times change, but I'll say... maybe Something, Julia or Happiness.... (or the Abbey Road Medley ;p). 2. I *somehow* lost said boot, but in the process of searching, unearthed this jem: Phish11-02-98E Centre, West Valley City, UT 1: Tube, Tube Jam -> Drowned -> Jesus Just Left Chicago, Driver*, Bittersweet Motel**, Limb by Limb, Wading in the Velvet Sea, Sample in a Jar 2: Down with Disease, The Mango Song, The Moma Dance^, You Enjoy Myself, Harpua^^ > (Speak to Me, Breathe, On the Run, Time, The Great Gig in the Sky, Money, Us and Them, Any Colour You Like, Brain Damage, Eclipse) > Harpua# E: Smells Like Teen Spirit## NOTE: Apparently, I only have set II. Let me know if there's any interest.... Also, it looks like you can find Phish's take on the White Album on 'Live Phish 13': Live Phish Vol. 13: 10/31/94, Glens Falls Civic Center, Glens Falls, New York [LIVE] http://www.amazon.com/Live-Phish-Vol-13-Ce...ks_all_2#disc_2 http://www.phish.net/hpb/1994.html#10-31-94 Link to post Share on other sites

I'll have to pick that up with my Amazon gift certs I scored on my bday. anyway,dcd Link to post Share on other sites

lamradio Posted April 10, 2008 Share Posted April 10, 2008 I probably have 50 favorite Beatles tunes, but the one I always have to hear when I'm in a Beatles mood is "In My Life". That tune truly is "perfect".. The brilliant chord progression with the augmented 5th bass note (or whatever you want to call it for you music theory heads).. The piano solo.. The vocals.. It's just a brilliant song. Link to post Share on other sites
