Elliott Smith - Yer Blues (Beatles cover)

[MrWestonColleon]

Fuckin melodramtic dope shit

[howlinwolf73]

Let's put this to bed. This is a good cover and he sings it nice, but.......

No one sings like John Lennon. He was one of the finest rock n roll vocalists of all time. No denying it.

[FattMusiek1]

His voice is not too weak for this tune.

[Oxidized181]

omfg what a perfect cover >.< !!!!

[Jadesuchi]

Elliott is the fifth Beatle. Period.

[jonnyryanmusic]

I have his complete discography (at least I thought I did), my biggest inspiration/favorite music that ever lived, and now I finally found a song that I haven't heard. Absolutely amazing. Thank you.

[mishn90]

all i can say is dayuuuum

[MrMagneticfields]

elliot smith is great but his voice is too weak for this tune!god its bad:(:(:(

[iGotTaylor]

@MrMagneticfields You're wrong.

[imbalancingact]

It may seem nitpicky but the first thing I thought was that ES coulda tried to rough his voice up a little more for that one. the raw-as-fuck laryngitis wail of JL's (which Cobain's TM'd howl owes a serious debt to though he perfected it as well IMO) should have entire museums be dedicated to it alone. I like this cover, I just instantly felt the absence of that satisfying sandpapery scream. I don't know why more people with raw vox &/or JL/KC-type swagger dont cover YBlues or WellWellWell.

needle in the hay :)

[DonnTarris]

Wonderfully raw version of the song!

[ThomasRiekki]

Elliott Smith covering The Beatles is just amazing!

[scotjonesxs]

In addition to a wonderful song, the fact that he is wearing a Steve Smith shirt in this picture is too perfect.

incredible! i love this beatles song and hearing elliot sing it is givin me chills

[foamy1graff]

oh shi-

[rookiecard]

This is with Jon Spencer Blues Explosion. Amazing. eyewitness: "elliott joined them (jsbx) for their first and only encore, doing bass on a couple blooz vamps that I didn't recognize.....after that..."yer blues." i liked that elliott sang back up vocals, including the part where lennon sings away from the mic (ie, elliott reproduced this admirably by singing to the floor of the stage...did anyone else notice that?).

[AlejandraRafa]

Thanks sooooo much for this, you made my day!

[MyNameIsBenneth]

This is cool.

[iamthespaceship]

daaaang elliott smith representing portland, and live audio from the roseland. that's cool.

[oceankiddd]

ohhh man thank you so much for posting this. any idea where to find the mp3?

[ZiiggyyStardust]

wow, im not used hearing elliott like this..its so cool! He did it perfect! (:

[fqllve]

two and a half million characters fell out of his mouth during this performance and i believe he was possessed by the spirit of lennon himself for this brief period a fantastic experience we hope to relive many many times

[the0man0in0the0mask]

Elliott never yelled

[futoncat]

[Amulius]

He sounds like he's having a lot of fun- Elliott always does the best Beatles Covers.
