      Most Beatles songs don’t have that much or complicated chords. But they did it in such a special way that only they could do. The Beatles aren’t my favorite band, but they sure were the best band in the world.

    My wife and I have been fortunate enough to see Sir Paul three times, so for those of you that have seen him live you know this totals somewhere between 7.5 - 9 hours of live performances. And we still haven’t heard all the songs we’d love to have heard him play. How many other musicians have a catalogue that deep? It’ll truly be the end of an era when Paul joins John & George on the other side.

    I remember David Crosby of the Byrds saying with admiration that this track was beyond the Byrds' capability. I think he meant the vocal arrangement and the Byrds were famous for theirs. It's certainly one of my favourites. I can play over 60 Beatles songs but I don't do this one as it's so hard to play it with the riff and sing it on one guitar. I think Paul found it easier to play rhythm than bass live. It'd be like patting your head while rubbing your stomach - though he manages it on so many. Genius.

      It's two years since you made this comment but it really struck me when you said 'he is my world's minstrel'. Love that description of him. All the times I have seen McCartney criticized for his 'music hall' [which all The Beatles grew up with and loved] but he was the only Beatle who was ever criticized for it....and then you take it back to 'Minstrel', accurately in my opinion. What a great comment.

    Can't hear this without laughing. Back in the 70s one of my teenage buddies didn't know the words and used to sing" Take a bath right now"! LMAO!

      Dan F I always said that the best Beatles cover band was the Beatles themselves. Every country they played in they sounded exactly like the record.

    So different to hear Paul play this on a Les Paul instead of his Epiphone Casino that I'm used to hear this song be played on. Of course still awesome though.

    For me, that’s one of the Beatles’ three or four best songs.
    I also love ‘It’s All Too Much’ from ‘Yellow Submarine’ . . .
