John Lennon - Free As A Bird (Take 1)

[lifeisdead01]

This version is haunting. I love it.

[florallyouneedislove]

hermoso!!! en cuanto a lo que dice "crapple009" estoy de acuerdo en eso de q muchas veces menos es mas, me ha pasado con varias canciones de los beatles: strawberry fields 1 & 2 del anthology son mucho mas hermosas que la version lanzada (que no me gusta mucho), en mi opinion; lo mismo me pasa con it's only love, lucy in the sky with diamonds, tomorrow never knows, the fool on the hill y alguna mas capaz, que me parecen mas lindas las versiones del anthology

[crapple009]

I love the poignancy of this first take as opposed to the polished Anthology version, which is o.k.

The same goes with the solo demo of "Because" compared to the Abbey Road version with that awful sounding moog synthesizer on top (imho,that is). Many times, less is more.

@crapple009 @crapple009 same goes to strawberry fields...

i love the version with lennon and his guitar alone...barely marking the bass line...so simple yet so beautiful

agreed

[LennonForever38]

thanks for posting this. The quallity is better than the other videos on the net. I down loaded The Beatle version on my computer and I play this with it. It sounded much better. You under stand John better.

[SuperTomCollins]

Absolutely. And I really doubt that John would have been happy with that McCartneyish production. Although George's guitar on the "Anthology" version is outstanding.

[LennonForever38]

@SuperTomCollins Right on!!! :) But I'm thinking of posting a video with the demo dubbed over the Anothology Version with the 5.1. Dolby re-mix. I'm working on that. What do you think? I'd edit the demo of course to be in sync with the other tracks

[SuperTomCollins]

Go for it pal!
