I think this is going to become my periodic recurring contribution to OT--we'll see how it goes--

Anyway--just stumbled upon this:

The Church doing The Beatles' "It's All Too Much" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VPrnA9bcFKk

Check the Electric Avenue drop at 4:41

That was excellent, thanks for posting .

Speaking of covers by dream-pop bands, I was enjoying this one recently. Galaxie 500 with a fuzzy rendition of Joy Division's 'Ceremony'. Not the best clip, but - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=suxw2FcpKpI

Thank you!

That's one more added to the favorites list.

One of the best Beatle-covers I've heard was by a bar-band named Bullitthead; they had a jazzy/blues rendition of Eleanor Rigby. I only saw them play it a couple of times, but years later, I still remember it as awesome.

The guitarist's name is Ron Norris, who apparently now plays the Jacksonville/St Augustine areas. Check him out if you're interested.

Yes performed an outstanding cover of "Every Little Thing" on their first album. Sorry kids and Yes fans, but I couldn't find any link to a video of their original recording, but there is some recent crap from the band that doesn't deserve due respect or linking.

Find a copy of Yes' first album/CD (it's self-titled) and enjoy some early prog-rock, circa 1969.

If we're focusing upon Beatles covers, I'll post up Billy Preston's version of "I've Got a Feeling".

After all, the man was on the roof with them on that day, wasn't he (this pic, behind Paul)?

Damn shame you barely catch a glimpse of him in the movie. You can sure hear him, tho...

You can see Billy's head popping around at 2:57 or so..

Otherwise, thank you very much, and I hoped I passed the audition.
