The classic rock band I play in plays a 6 minute medley of Beatles songs Help -> Twist And Shout -> Drive My Car -> Get Back -> Day Tripper -> Back In The USSR Key wise it works pretty well.
Nigel when I was a young 18 year old pseudo Beatle I managed to record Day Tripper the very first time it was played on local Toronto radio. Took my recorder to rehearsal and we learned that song and performed it that night. The fans went wild and we were told we were on our way to stardom.
One explanation for why I've only started to write songs in my senior years is because anything I tried to write always sounded very poor in comparison to Lennon/McCartney stuff.
Used to love singing Drive My Car and Long Tall Sally McCarney style. We could bring them in off the streets in the Old Yorkville Village days with those kind of numbers. GREAT MEMORIES!
God Bless,
Don
