I also like George's guitar playing on Real Love, it just sounds beautiful with that signature sound of George.

Totally agree! George's guitar playing on it was just so beautiful & so George!
You can't mistake his playing, that was his own style! ;)

This is hard...they are both songs I remember the most from when I was a young child.Free As A Bird is really good...I think they all did good collaborating on that song...you hear the beatles,then John,Paul,George and Ringo....but I think Real Love is just as good.... john lennon's version is really good ....but I like the guitar in the Beatle version....it's so sweet...but yet sad...i mean they both get me really sad...but i think my final vote has to go to Real Love...it just gets this emotion out of me that I can't really explain...

Anyone heard these? They are from that bootleg, I believe...

These are VERY interesting - never heard these versions before! They are mixes of the original demos overlayed with what I guess are *"OOPSed" versions of the studio-enhanced versions. VERY good - particularly FAAB.

*OOPS = Out Of Phase Stereo - often used in vocal eliminators such as karaoke machines to eliminate the audio in the centre of the stereo field. Usually this is where the vocals are usually (but not always) placed.

I voted for Free As A Bird because it sounds like a White Album/Abbey Road outtake & it's much better thn the other one.

I think I like the Real Love video better, and the song Free As A Bird better. Oh geez, I really love Real Love, though, it's hard to choose! But, when I first heard Free As A Bird on that Anthology CD, I actually thought it was the Beatles as they were back then! I was a new fan at the time, and didn't know much. But hey! They do them both so beautifully, it really does sound like the Beatles 'cause it, in a way, is the Beatles. I love that.

'Free As A Bird'.  It's sad, it's poignant, and (thank God) not too Jeff Lynne-ish.

I know Free As A Bird is definitely more special (and more successful) was I prefer Real Love. It's really Beatles sound to me.

Sitting last night, after a few drinks, I listened to the Dakota 'Free' and the Beatlized version over and over again. What a great sad song.  Even the way he plays his piano sounds like a dirge.  And by the way Bobber, f*** YOU, you Barclay Hunt.  Adios.

Personally, it has to be 'Free As a Bird' for me. It's a great song, especially how it was salvaged from scraps given by Yoko. The music video is much stronger than the 'flying instrument' idea seen in 'Real Love' ...  :-/
