It has:

Great Basswork
Great Drumming
Great Riff
Great Vocals
Great Chords
Great Song

and it has a little backwards message at the end too..If it had a awesome Guitar solo, it would be the Perrrrfect song, its still one of thier best though

Yes yes yes.
And the song has an excellent feel-all the components fit so well together.
and I love simple lyrics that can be so evocative.
Sounds years and years ahead of its time.
when people ask what is "cutting edge" - this is it.

Such a masterpiece.

And all these accolades for a bloody B Side.
Only The Beatles could do this.
God I love them

Harmonies are superb. Agree with everything here...Only really got into it end of last year I'm ashamed to say. Hopefully we will have it in our next Beatle show. Along with I'm So Tired as another fresh toon in the set.

We're hoping to...We jus play here on the Isle of Wight about twice a year at the Theatre. Few but quality gigs...Wanna travel with the gig though....Possibly attempting to get up to Liverpool for The BEatles week and try n vibe out.

When's your next gig?

An Apple Beatle · « **Reply #8 on:** February 25, 2005, 11:35:00 AM »

18th July

Few pics of first gig we did. We just keep on improving on the previous shows...Amp, instrument wise etc. I might go clean shaven for the next one...Beard takes ages to grow. lol...We run a projection show of loads and loads of Beatle pics..On a huge cinema screen, not seen on these pics for some reason.

I think it was definatley a head of its time! There was nothing around to compare it to and I think most people missed the signifigance of this song at the time! No Where Man seems to be more straight ahead and easier to identify with!

Brilliant song. If anyone still does this--its a great song to listen to on headphones-very cool when the backing vocals come in. I also love the effect of the guitars being recorded just a little faster so the playback makes them a a little lower/slower and gives it that effect. Have I mentioned lately that the Fabs were the best band to ever roam the planet? Good God.
