Sounds like Harrison.

by Guest Thu Aug 06, 2020 8:50 pm

Well, this sounds like the original, only not as good.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Thu Aug 06, 2020 8:50 pm

The song was covered by The Beatles during their audition at Decca Records on January 1, 1962 with George Harrison on lead vocals.[39]

He's got the best voice! gasp

He has a particularly suburban Liverpool way of saying "there".

Pointless cover of Buddy Holly.

Is this still George?

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Thu Aug 06, 2020 8:52 pm

Sizzling guitar solo.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Thu Aug 06, 2020 8:53 pm

Pete doing his best to keep up with the rest of the band.

I note that there's no indication on the playlist as to when this ends.

Therefore I'm assuming it's like Meddle or Bullinamingvase and is at least 25 minutes long.
