Wes Montgomery does a lovely, groovy, moody take on "A Day in the Life":

I got into that one backwards. Tommy Bolin would quote the main lick from this in some of his solos. That got me to find the Wes version.

Jimmy Herring - Within You Without You

Journey....Look into the Future
“ It’s All Too Much”
The Faces
“Baby I’m Amazed”
The Allman Brothers Band
“Rain”

Good ones - another that hasn’t been mentioned is Sergio Mendes & Brazil 1966, Fool on the Hill - also the Hourglass version of Norwegian Wood - the titles just pop into one’s mind

I can't get me no. SATISFACTION........DEVO......oh wait a minute, well it is bizarre?..........Peace......joe

Band Of Heathens - You're Gonna Miss Me/I've Got A Feeling

Not necessarily the best - the most bizarre for me

Saw Ray LaMontagne and David Gray. The encore was I Dig A Pony. My wife and I were up cheering- it seems like no one else there knew the tune- the rest of the crowd was sitting and pretty quiet
I couldn’t help shouting - what’s wrong with you? This is a Beatles song!!

Aerosmith & Adrian Belew both give I’m Down a lotta love
On Permanent Vacation & Twang Bar King - both fine albums

Let it Be by Ray Charles, y'all!
Monster version:

Richie Havens on Here Comes the Sun. Just watching his foot pound up and down in the Woodstock movie made me trip so badly I saw a vision of Marilyn Monroe smiling at me and taking her index finger to motion for me to come closer.

great story - yep the blotter was working that night
mischievous Frank Sinatra would occasionally sing Something in his concerts - he’d start out by.going, “something in the way she moves it”

Frank Sinatra was voted the top pop male singer of the 20th century about 2001.

There were several other greats but I'll go with Frank.

My favorite Frank track with the Count.

Aerosmith & Adrian Belew both give I’m Down a lotta love
On Permanent Vacation....

I caught that PV tour @NJ's Meadowlands Arena, The encore was I'm Down and Aerosmith brought out Bon Jovi for it..... '88?

Here's one from Les Paul's 100 Birthday Celebration that had guitarists galore, this has GE Smith & Johnny A doing And Your Bird Can Sing

Like it! - cool instrumental version
Anne Murray’s mellow cover of Happy Just To Dance With You came on the radio recently, had forgotten that one - something in the Dream A Little Dream With Me mode to my ears

Area Code 615 - "Hey Jude"

Dillards - "I've Just Seen a Face"

Nitty Gritty Dirt Band - "What Goes On"

Tony Furtado w/ Alison Krauss - "I Will"

Some banjo for yall

Heard Mickey Dolenz do Good Morning Good Morning from a 2102 album he released.
Fantastic different arrangement

Man that was just great, thanks musicmann!! What a treat that is, it’s my new favorite Beatles cover - many tremendous ones here, great thread - good morning indeed

Jimmy’s cover is really cool too - they’re both on side II of Sgt Pepper (WYWYou, & GMrng)

Still blissed by Mickey’s cover, what ears to be able to hear that song in the way that it ended up here

Google, friend of music fans
