July 31, 2016 - The Beatles - Come Together (1969)


I've posted the YouTube clip of John Lennon live in NYC from 1972, but I also found a different site where you can hear the Abbey Road version:

Come Together

It's like a Sims Beatles video! (See Feb 10 entry also)

Shoot me...A fairly stripped-down blues, it has a bunch of nonsense lyrics (some ripped from a Chuck Berry tune, eventually leading to a lawsuit), and a great sudden electric guitar pronouncement as verse changes to chorus on 'together'. This is the Beatles as cool blues rock band. Nice guitar work from George. Paul plays his typically great bass lines. Electric piano (and handclaps) from John, rolling toms from Ringo. The final minute outro is a murky stroll down to the crossroads. Hard to believe it's the same band that recorded She Loves You.
