Shindig

I know the vocal is live...but are the instruments? I think I hear the harmonica going on a bit without John playing. Anyway, good clip. Paul forgetting the lyrics for a change. I'm guessing since they never show Ringo that he's not really hitting the kit. :)

Here's another. If only Paul could still sing like this. Pure.

Wow that was bizarre.  I don't have time to look into this now, but I really want to know what is up with this.

(btw...almost a billion seconds ago Paul released Give My Regards To Broad Street.  Seriously.  That fact is not worth a post in itself but is really interesting.)

Sounds like the consensus is that there was a backing track. ???

The book Way Beyond Compare says that the vocals are live and "some" of John's harmonica. (Some?  How weird.) The rest is a backing track.  When and where it is recorded is unknown according to this book.

That sounds like a cool book. 8)

I guess since John's mic is open anyway, he might as well play. No sense faking the sucking and blowing.  :P
