(2224 views)The Best Version Of A Beatles Song?
What do you think is the best version of a Beatles song? My favourite is this
www.youtube.com by Ferris Bueller. I know he mimes it, but it is fantastic.I know you can,t beat the originals but which is the best cover?

I would like to add a very little known cover version of "when I saw her standing there" by Jerry Garcia. It is a very interesting and mellow version with a kinda reggae beat to it. Jerry obviously didn't look into simply throwing a Beatles cover version together but put thoughts into his work. I think the results is great, but maybe only Grateful Dead fans such as me would think like me.
