Now and Then

[Euan Buchan]

Oh my god that was amazing the vocal was so crisp and clear I had goosebumps !!

[Mr Mustard]

Goosebumps time, right? that clear Lennon vocal and bang on the tune as always.
"Haunting" is precisely the right word, Todd. That gorgeous melancholy sound is kind of eerily catchy.
One concern though: is George actually ON this recording?
I want to think all four are "in there", but Paul mentioned something about paying tribute, mimicking George's style/licks.
He said they still have the Harrison input - but did they use it?
George famously disavowed pursuing development of this track back in the '90s.

Was wondering that myself Mr. M.  The way Paul worded it was that he copied or simulated the solo in George's slide style, but did it himself.  I would love clarification on that.

Great song, well recorded. Don't know if it's George but it sounds like him
It' gets a bit ELO ish near the end 

Seeing Paul tomorrow, big Beatle week

I'm almost afraid to listen to it! I'm holding off til I can listen on my full stereo. I wonder if Paul will play the full video and song before the concert Nim?

Congrats on the show Kev.  Let us know if he plays it.

Ok finally listened. I like it. I think Pauls done a great job in developing it from the bits of John's demo.  Johns voice sounds incredible. Paul's added lines come in pretty seamlessly. It's more bits of George in some subtle rhythm fills given we've been told that Paul added the slide in a George-esque manner. I wonder if some of it is George's. The end guitar sounds a different tone to the solo. Overall the slide sounds less biting than on Free as a Bird or Real Love.

Some nice low key Ringo fills. He sound freer than on Free as a Bird and Real Love. 

Good string arrangement in a Pepper/MMT homage by G. Martin

You done good lads.

Yes I agree Moog, it's a great job. Love Pauls bass lines as well.

Am I imagining a slight ELO sound towards the end ?

Here's what Mr Beato thinks..

Yeah it is a bit ELO ish. Although to be fair ELO cribbed their sound from 1967 Beatles.

Two little niggles, the transition to the solo I find a bit abrupt. Also it ends very quickly. I thought they could have gone on for another twenty seconds or so.

Will have to find time to watch the video now. Sounds like it's a bit emotional for fans.

The video I find truly awesome. I am truly gobsmacked at how great it is. Extremely clever and yes extremely emotional. 
I am impressed.

I couldn't agree more. I found it so beautiful and thought the ending was great. I had a lump in my throat.

Yes, this video evoked a flood of emotions and memories of both now and then.
