I would have liked to have seen a George Harrison song in there though. I Need You would have been a good choice.

Yes good point Baz, a George song is missing.

It was the second song George Harrison wrote while with The Beatles, Kev. In that song George expressed deep and mature feelings not usually evident in people of that vintage.

He was only 21 years old when he wrote I Need You...

Post by: Hello Goodbye on December 15, 2023, 12:11:45 AM: Yes, I Need You is simple in chords and instrumentation. One definitely needs a Rickenbacker 360/12 with the amp's vibrato set perfectly to achieve the full effect...

I Need You is brilliant in its simplicity.

I wish The Beatles had performed this song that night so we could have a live performance of one of my favorite Beatles songs.

Post by: Hello Goodbye on December 15, 2023, 04:55:12 AM: Right, Moog. The two songs The Beatles did on the Salisbury Plain in Help!, I Need You and The Night Before, fit together nicely...
