Let it Be
 

Don't think enough people have heard this awesome version of the Beatles classic. Amazing to think it was sung live acoustically.

And it's one of my favourite recordings from Meat :) A gem!

I'm not keen on it or Come Together. I'm not really a fan of Meat doing acoustic stuff. Or a fan of The Beatles either really! :cool:

wow thanks a lot for sharing!

there's a very unusual gasp by Meat on Come together, I think overall i prefer that to his version of Let It Be

hope why dont we do it in the road stands up to his previous beatles covers.
i have a recording of the one thats to be released. its terrific. cannot wait to hear the soundboard.

A true gem to me!!!

B-side of one of the CDsingle's of WTTN... Wasnt it NADEITH?

Yes it was

To be fair, I think the acoustic live recordings of "Let It Be" and "Come Together" will probably be more polished in terms of their sound than "Why Don't We Do It In The Road" because my understanding is it'll be a live recording from a concert and not in a "live lounge" type situation. Of course, I could be wrong.

Even so, the live-on-stage version was brilliant!

Recently watched Storytellers again and I do love the version of "A Kiss Is A Terrible Thing To Waste" from that :)

Not necessarily. They had about 30 or so to choose from so I dare say they would have picked the best performance. I'm pretty sure Meat didn't sing Let It Be and Come Together that many times to get the best ones.

well i hope they picked the best. *looks at the chsib live album*

As long as you're looking at it you're not listening to it! :lol:

haha
i cannot beleive how terribaly produced it was. had the most pathetic booh live edit ever.

Let It Be and Come Together were from a "live lounge" type situation for Nightline/ABC Network USA and not performed in front of a crowd. The live CD is apparently recordings from Meat's previous Casa de Carne tour, as I understand it, so the quality will invariably be affected by that. Having said that, I like the live sound of some recordings because it gives the song a different atmosphere and puts you "in the moment".
