tribute to the Beatles ......

thanks

Dayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy ........

Triiiiiiippppppppppeeeeeeeeerrrrrrrrrr......

The cover ever of a Beatles song imo

*best cover

Joe**er...?

george b - disagree

best cover Billy Bragg - She's leaving Home - on the charity Sgt Pepper Cover LP

Agreed. Better than any of their own versions, also.

whether it rains or shines, it's all a state of mind. Can you hear me?

Joe**er...?

Yes, imho

As for She's Leaving Home, I think the Beatles version is perfection and could not possibly be improved upon.

Petula Clark sings Sergeant Pepper's. That's a new one on me.

Crikey, I'd never seen that before either.

Buddy Rich, the world's greatest drummer as he was known. A lot of this is new to me and I was around when THe Beatles came out.

Great stuff.

Richie Havens, what a great guitarist.

This programme is an interesting vignette of the kind of stuff you could see on variety/ light enetertainment shows all the time in the 70's. People who could actually sing and play, wasn't considered to be the cutting edge/serious music, but was just Saturday night entertainment. Nowadays all they've got is pop idol/x-factor. Changed days.

Well said Des, perfectly summed up.

No wonder the youth of today have no soul eh? ;)

I think they'd know good music if they had chance to listen and digest it, but they're force fed garbage music in the main.

Nice guitar work from Jeff Beck as ever.

not even rubber soul

on tv tonight they said in a poll Simon Cowell was voted best known person in the world


prob conducted it in Simon's house.

Elton John seems almost macho :)

I love Simon Cowell.

You'll find him appearing regularly on the Animal Planet, saving animals lives.

Great bloke, worth a 10,000 of his namesake.

Hope he's watching this, and at least having a pang of conscience. Doubt it, though.

What a shame, if only they had Lennon's appearance at MSG with EJ on film...

This is great, happened upon this by accident, after leaving Newsnight on. Glad I did. Another fantastic Beatles cover from shirley.

It is great, thanks CC.

you're welcome canny :)

This is great but sadly the snooker went on so long so I only tuned in 5 minutes ago :(

just getting better and better

tears in my eyes

Why are they only showing mostly McCartney songs?? A bit biased.

test for the competition at 00.00

Matt Monro, what a great singer he was.

i like ringo

and bingo

Most people unaware of McCartney's contribution to the Beatles. Real, unblinkered fans know the truth, though.

and an ozzie dingo

The bananarama version of this is good :p

r u**sed yorky?

this show is quality.....even Tina Turner....

In Mexico gringo is the favourite of the fab four.

he missed that one. lol

Chuck Norris , Tina Turner's backing guitarist.

wtf

wtf!!!!..get her off!!!

:0

Back in the ussr - another McCartney piece!

Aw Kriist, we all spoke to soon. :0

she's doing it in a serious way. how deluded can some people be ? :D

Sue Pollard doing a decent job. This programme's full of surprises.

DISGRACE...where's Ted Bovis?

she's sh1t man. get her back to the trolley where she belongs ! :D

Candy Flip??

thought she sang it well

Candy Flip 1990?

they look like a bunch of teenage chavs having a larf :^0

Having said that, its a decent version.

The lead singer is now a Mrs.

not bad, will all be early 40's now.

Wow ,never knew Eric Burdon was the egg-man!
Good quiz q that ;)

why was Eric the eggman ?

I didn't get to the second line :(

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I_Am_the_Walrus


Who was the Eggman?

Eric Burdon, lead singer of The Animals, is claimed by some to be the 'Eggman'. Burdon was known as 'Eggs' to his friends, the nickname originating from his fondness for breaking eggs over naked women's bodies. Burdon's biography mentions such an affair taking place in the presence of John Lennon, who shouted "Go on, go get it, Eggman..."[15]

'apparently' he liked to crack raw eggs onto the bodies of the band's groupies :D

God they wrote some rubbish songs

This was never one of my fave beatles songs in fairness. And whilst I like Oasis they didn't do it any more justice either :(

One or 2 Dobbo, but many great ones.

They just had to end it with another McCartney piece. Where is Ringo's octopusies garden??

Is that Mary and Stella sat behind?

I loved the muppets version of O.G.

About time the balance was redessed imo.

*redressed

is there any Beatles song that HASN'T been covered?

damn...an another hour of that woulda been nice.

It was certainly Stella, George.

don't worry, now highlights of the best match of the masters so far.

Oh good, they didn't show WWW's version of WALHFMF where Marti Pellow sings both the questions and answers.

Beatles, will never see their like again.

God bless 'em.

7 years is all it took. Won't happen ever again while Cowell is alive.

one of my favourite covers is Cher singing Bob Dylan's 'Lay Lady Lay'

couldn't find it in youtube so I'll give you ........

MELANIE- LAY DOWN (Candles In The Rain) WOODSTOCK

No, we won't Mitchell. :(

The whole show pales into insignificance against the final song.
Absolute class, and Lady Madonna was by no means their best work.

79 posts, btw, and I haven't noticed a single "The Beatles were useless" or "the Stones were better", they must still be in the pub.

I agree with Study.

beatles derivative . and they had their own simon cowell in george martin.

Good pop band

George Martin worked with, and for them.
Simon Cowell is not capable of doing either with anybody.
So the parallel is inaccurate.

Without Martin the Beatles would have sounded like the yankee garage psych bands they ripped off.
Without Cowell sinitta would have not given us "big red GTO".
Same thing really.

[ ] brngtwt sure knows his stuff.

WAFAH.

Without Martin the Beatles would have sounded like the yankee garage psych bands they ripped off.
