charlie brown Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 While it's been done, a number of great ways, by great players, I still love the Original, the best! CB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L5Larry Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 I loved the Jeff Healey cover when it came out, and that would have been my vote until the "Concert For George" version with most of the players from the original recording, Eric, Paul, Ringo, Billy Preston, PLUS Jeff Lynne, Albert Lee, Andy Fairweather Low, Jim Keltner, Jim Capaldi, Ray Cooper, Gary Brooker and others. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vNBEiyGwGRc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaxson50 Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 I like the original the best to, I appreciate all the other versions which are really tributes to the artist who gave this great song to us. But one of the most moving versions of it was the last version that Harrison recorded shortly before his death; [YOUTUBE]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ob0PKDumjY[/YOUTUBE] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Californiaman Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 Prince. That guy can play. He throws down one of the best performances "Ever." The first time I saw this I must have watched it 10 times. Incredible. Nothing compares to it. Nothing. It's almost spiritual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
recsec Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 I enjoyed all the video's. For the purpose of the poll I thought Jeff Healey's performance was the best. However I really impressed by Prince's guitar playing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
