Mike,
Alright, we are back to current material. Cool. Sorry you've had some issues, hope they get worked out for you real soon.
On to the show. You played 4 songs by The Beatles and the artists that they covered, and for me, The Beatles went 2-1-1. I'll give them the edge on Please Mr. Postman and You've Really Got A Hold On Me, but Chuck Berry defeated them on Roll Over Bethoven. Now, the tie is from the last tune, Devil In Her Heart, was a draw for me because frankly, I didn't care for either version.
I really have to get me some Chuck Berry. I'll pick up a greatest hits disc one of these days. My favorite song overall for the show is Please Mr. Postman by The Beatles. They did an outstanding job on this. I will say the harmonizing on You've Really Got A Hold On Me is spectacular, just like your show dude!
"Please, Mr. Postman" is one of my favorite "covered by the Beatles"-songs. Great vocal from Lennon. I did'nt enjoy the Carpenter's version of the song. And when you hear the original version, the Beatles's version is by FAR much better!!
"Roll Over Beethoven" is another story. I don't really like George's vocal on their version. This time the original (a good word for Chuck Berry ) easily beats The Beatles. You can see him do that walk, while you listen to the guitar-solo!! Berry's one of those artist, where you can't really make a better version of his songs.
"You really got a hold on me": Even though Lennon sings great, I prefer the original version. A better production on that one, and better drums, Ringo !!!
The next one must be the rarity, you wrote about. I can't remember, if I've heard it before. It's an okay song, "Devil in her heart" or what it's called. I prefer The Beatles version this time, because I can't really stand her vocal on the original. It's a bit painfull to listen to
Every time you put on a show "With The Beatles", I'm listening.
