BeatlesFest - The Long and Winding Road - Alfstone covers the Beatles

[Greeny]

Sublime. What a beautiful listen. Your playing is so expressive, and I'm amazed that you were able to convey the same emotion as the original vocal with it. That sax is something else too. Beautiful!

As a bit of extra trivia, John played the bass on the original in a very half-arsed way and almost seemed to be trying to ruin it. Paul went on holiday, and when he came back, John had handed the song to Phil Spector and let him totally f*ck it up. To be fair to Spector, he had to drown out the bass with layer after layer of orchestration, but Paul was understandibly furious. Why didn't they let Paul overdub the bass later? I think this was John at his most vindictive and nasty. He's still a legend to me, but this was one episode he should be totally ashamed of.  They were pretty much at war at that point though. Blame Yoko! lol
