Beatles Covers
 

So what's your favorite cover of a Beatle song?
I'll start with Scott Sawyer doing Tax Man.

Got To Get You Into My Life-Earth, Wind & Fire

I'm gonna have to go with.....none. I'm kind of a Beatles purist when it comes to this stuff. I enjoy some covers and then some just never come close to the originals. For me, the Beatles covers usually fall into the last category.

Jeff Beck doing She's a Woman

Live version: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TZlFTbvfKPE

Yes - Every Little Thing

Joe Cocker, With a Little Help From My Friends.

Alison Krauss - I Will

What an angelic voice and simple arrangement...and I'm not a big Bluegrass aficionado

I Will YouTube

A very different version of Dr. Robert from the Raisins, 1980.

Obviously Yer Blues by The Dirty Mac

It would be this:

Dionne Warwick's A Hard Day's Night, I kid you not!

Joe Cocker yes. And also Richie Havens http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IQG-xM62tQg

This is my band's cover of Come Together. Its a short vid because its only the saxophone solo...yea a saxophone:) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cYCNsXG9mY0

The only thing I can say about Stanley Jordan is: "These guys are great!"

+1 on the Angelical voice of Alison Krauss. I bought her live double disc about 10 yrs ago. And man, it is so pure. She could compete with Adele in vocal content and soul, but Alison is a better musician.

Best covers of Beatles are Motley Crue's Helter Skelter and Aerosmith's Come Together. I actually heard the Crue version b4 the Beatle version, because they were really big when I was in elementary/middle school.

Overwhelming Colorfast "She Said She Said"
