Crying, waiting, hoping - The Beatles

[TheLennonlegends]

buddy hollys version is better but this has a better solo

[fodgd]

I prefer Beatles' version (?)

[cluciano63]

George does have a special kind of voice...I love it, and his clipped accent

[maxpowers518]

Recorded on July 16, 1963 and broadcast on August 6, 1963.

[4FabBEATLES]

tits from "Live at the BBC" tapes, which is official and can be bought easily. its very official, and you hear the Beatles sing and talk about the songs they will sing. of course this is real, its just done in a studio at the BBC not poor quality recordings at clubs or live concerts with screaming. the tape has a track list if u dont believe it.

[WisMiss101]

This is Ringo. The Beatles made two very early BBC appearances before Ringo joined, but the sound on those tapes was really fuzzy, too bad to use on the album.

[hillhead420]

Holly and Crenshaw's version are way better than this!!! I like The Beatles plenty but they should not have covered this song!!

[elmerhdga]

@hillhead420 get a better life somewhere else, they did what they did at the time, and no latter-day snip like you is gonna make any diff at all.

[hillhead420]

@elmerhdga wtf are you talking about, how about you get a fucking life and quit starting shit. I wasn't even saying anything that bad about this version, it just does not compare to the other versions at all!! If you can't see that, then you don't know shit!!

[hwanj]

i like this version better cuz it has really fantastic guitar solo

[TheFatal05]

@hwanj you know its the same solo as the original...

[hwanj]

@TheFatal05 I heard only one version of Buddy Holly doesn't have solo but I've just listen the original and you're right! it has this unique solo. Thank you for informing.

[zumbiesruk]

The Beatles did a great job, but Buddy Holly did the best.

:)

[bloodpool]

Marshall Crenshaw's version is my fav. 

[kassandrasduplex]

Baby Beatles

[dickieshitts]

[rhall4th]

This is awesome! I never knew The Beatles did Crying, Waiting, Hoping. Up until now, I've only heard Buddy Holly's version. I think the Beatles did a great job with it!

This must be an early recording - in the pictures, that's Pete Best on the drums.

Beatles forever!

[Zcecchine54]

Thank You I Keep Forgeting His Last Name ( Pete Best) All I Know Is Its Befor 1963 March

[4FabBEATLES]

@rhall4th its on the "Beatles Live at the BBC" album- which is quite official and easy to buy as it was a big hit. the recording was done in 1962- and the tape was remastered/re-released on cassette & cd in 1994.

[4FabBEATLES]

@rhall4th and its not necessarily Pete Best on drums. The album includes the Beatles talking, and Ringo is there on some recordings. the album was done in 52 sessions between 1962 and 1965- so some were Pete best, some were Ringo depending on the year.

[TwoUselessLegs]

Poor Pete Best! So NEAR....and for the rest of his life he must go to bed thinking to himself "WTF happend??"

[TheDoubleDeckerBand]

great solo!

[blowinviper]

I agree with you, Sr. Suarez. I'm a Beatles-age, Beatles fanatic but Buddy Holly was an incredible talent. Probably, like you, it makes me appreciate the "boys" all the more because they appreciated people like Holly, the Everly Brothers, Chuck Berry and others and saluted them by playing their style and sometimes their songs. They usually did a pretty good job on them too! All the best.

[cbarrett34]

god, buddy wrote such great songs

[cbarrett34]

is that george singing lead?

[rwb010109]

The Beatles did a really good job on this song in honor of Buddy Holly and the Crickets,,but his is still the best.. RWB

[Acropolob291]

k, obviously the originals are the best but this is a great cover and you cant deny it

[Lilyannah07]

just...no..

[wojiaokatya]

Pete is a charming guy, really. (please can we have ringo now? thanks)

[Tw0Swords]

the` beatles are fake and created by culture creators shame on them for stealing a genius buddy holly song anf a raping it

[cesarmanuel51]

buddy must be happy for the Beatles

[rodrigoraulsuarez]

They were geniuses but Buddy Holly was a genius first. I like Buddy Holly's version a lot more. But I don´t nothing to say against The Beatles. And I'm happy to hear them doing a Buddy Holly's song.

[jt123egypte]

Please don't insult Buddy Holly with this rubbish!

[Villeneuve27]

this is one of the only beatles covers that wasn;t better than the original. but thats because buddy holly owns.

[SHONA825]

at least Pete Best & Stu make it into the Beatle Equation. After getting screwed most of his life Pete finally got paid with Anthology. And I would have to agree that Ringo was the Beatles Fate. But if they had kept Pete the very same thing goes down.

Namaste...//o-o\\

[notorioussw]

this video stinks... and nobody can do it better th\an the true king of rock Buddy Holly.

[YakosIoakim]

i like these vids, even John admitted how much he/they were influenced by B. Holly..

nice work

[2luscious4this]

Thank you for sending me this!!! I'm touched by it =)

Very much, indeed!!

[Vincenteloco]

awesome job

[peacemanken]

Nice job on this, It's so cool to see the old pics when Pete and Stuart were there. 2 thumbs up Lilyan.....Peace

[WhatsernamePink]

Great song, great version. Love all those old photos of the Beatles.

[sirmorpho]

Wonderful. I like this version more than the orig of buddy holly. Aw slideshow from Hamburg with Stu Sutcliff, even Rory Storm and others. Great times the 60ees. pity - they never come back

[BeatlesForever649]

at 0.04 its the beatles old drummer not ringo

[monkpie101]

He was Pete Best

[BigMac96Norway]

The Best Band EVER Is For Shore The Beatles

[jt123egypte]

It is as bad as it sounds! We throw this rubbish in the dustbin and listen to Buddy Holly.

[thegools]

Is Pete Best on this one?

[hfadae]

Holy SH!T, I've never heard this version. Absolutely amazing! Nicely done to the boys from Liverpool and whoever posted this, thanks!

P.S. Marshall Crenshaw's version is awesome too, he kills the guitar solo.

[50cal7777]

Best photos of early beatles.I think PETE BEST should get more credit than he has gotten in the past.After all he was there in the beginning and did all the heavy lifting in the start of it all.He truly was the 5th beatle.He should write the book.After all he was THERE.

[artmonkid]

Great Buddy Holly cover. I wonder what would have happened have they met.

[missgibbdreamer]

@artmonkid John Lennon would have fainted, lol. He was a BIG Buddy Holly fan. Also Elivis but Buddy died so young John susposely walked into class and slumped into his chair saying...oh God, Buddy Holly is dead

[lzlzlzzl]

george harrison singin with the bealtes yeah, yeah, yeah!!, hihi, lol myself

[jt123egypte]

Hé DUMBO these are not the Beatles but Tony Sheridan and the Beat Brothers from 1961.THE STAR WAS TONY SHERIDAN !!!!The guitarplayer of Vince Taylor and the Playboys.

.And those later recordings of that group from Liverpool you may throw in the dustbin.That was rubbish!

[historicbloke]

wrong again this recording was the beatles with george lead vocal and ringo on drums after the hamburge sessons where the pictures were taken with best and sutcliff

[Caylus1578]

Great photo compilation and track...thanks!!

[BeatleLover0437]

i love this version and the original one by buddy holly too

[rupsaful]

i like some versions of amateurs better then this

[SenorZorrozzz]

The beatles are a far better and tighter backing group than the Fireballs were.

[Einfarhtfreihalten]

Bddy Holly did the very best job.

[mccartneygirl151]

@Einfarhtfreihalten BEATLES!!!!!!!!! BEATLES DID THE BEST JOB!!!!!! 

[Einfarhtfreihalten]

@mccartneygirl151

Beatles HABD many more computer options enn buddy.

[visor109]

@Einfarhtfreihalten "Computer options"?  Please define........

[Dratini999]
