Elliot Smith's cover of this song....fair representation of a Beatles song by an avid fan.

Wonderful, although I think that the a capella version from Anthology is perhaps even more beautiful. The three voices alone in harmony is amazing.

You *do* realize that the fact that you don't like Bela Fleck does *not* render the first quoted sentence untrue, don't you?

It's a crime to follow Bela Fleck's version of "Michelle" with an actual Beatles cut. The implication would be that Fleck is an innovator who has something unique and valuable to say about the Beatles. But I can't stand Fleck. While I do appreciate a bit of Beatles to wash the Fleck taste from my mouth, it would be better if you'd never fed me that bitter, bitter herb in the first place.

Pure Heaven!!!!

Can you believe that, John himself, just hated that song...
This means he could be wrong sometimes.
Miss you John...

this is my favorite Beatles album as of right now - i love to listen to it all the way thru

The only compaint I have is the jarring in my head when that last "Aahh" doesn't lead into the piano of 'You never give me your money" I love tracy chapman, but my brains all confused!!!

'Course, your navy buddy was wrong. That only applies to egg production in the female.

But you're right, although I can't think of ANY performer whose career has been put "on haiatus" by death. Except maybe Tupac, who seems to keep coming out with new material.

**gasp**

Oh, your're probably right. Statistics have not been kind to longevity. I'm hard pressed right now to think of any band or performer that has had a career that hasn't been halted or put on haiatus by death, drugs or spent creativity.

Like my old navy buddy once told me, "God only gives you so many ejaculations. Once you've shot them all, they're gone. That's it."

With any luck, they would have let Yoko sing. Or hired Stevie Nicks. Maybe a Gwen Stefani collaboration?

Face it -- no way the legend would loom so large today if they were still playing. (cough cough-ROLLING STONES-cough cough)

Still makes you wonder what they would have sounded like if they kept at it for another 10 or 20 years.

Exactly. One of the few songs that makes me stop everything I'm doing and just listen.

hearing john's voice always makes me want to smile and cry at the same time

It doesn't get more beautiful. It's not rock... it's music.

Can you believe they recorded this while they were fighting and on the verge of splitting up??

3-part harmony times 3. It's on Anthology 3. John, Paul & George's vocals were recorded once and then overdubbed twice more by the three Beatles in isolation. 9 voices.

A local commercial station has a cut of the boys singing this one a cappella!!! Very cool.

but... but...! but where's the REST???

Always been a great Beatles fan, but this is outstanding

Excellent.
