Come Together – The Beatles

 

Out of the six songs that we had to choose from. We decided to perform Come Together by the Beatles, the bass line caught my attention and I thought it would sound really cool live.

The song was written by John Lennon and Paul McCartney in 1969.

Lennon did the lead vocals, rhythm guitar, electric piano, handclaps and tambourine.

McCartney did the harmony vocals and bass guitar.

Harrison did the lead guitar.

Starr did the drums and maracas.

The song was recorded in Abbey Road, Studio Three in 8 takes, four track recording was used. It was produced my George Martin. In 1969, it won a Grammy for the best engineered recording.

Aerosmith recorded this song with George Martin in 1978 for the movie: Sgt Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band. The movie didn’t do well but the song reached #23 on American charts.

What I find interesting about the song is that the chorus has less power and less energy than the verse.
