16. "KANSAS CITY/HEY,HEY,HEY,HEY-THE BEATLES
THIS IS PROBABLY THE CLOSEST THING IN THE BEATLES SONG CATOLOG
TO WHAT IT WOULD HAVE SOUNDED LIKE TO HEAR THE BEATLES
IN HAMBURG,GERMANY AT THE STAR CLUB OR IN LIVERPOOL AT
"THE CAVERN".SOMEWHERE BACK IN THOSE EARLY DAY'S THE
BEATLE'S CAME UP WITH THIS MEDLEY OF LIEBER/STOLLER'S
"KANSAS CITY" AND LITTLE RICHARDS "HEY,HEY,HEY,HEY".THEY
PLAYED IT OFTEN AND IT WAS A CROWD FAVORITE.IT WAS ALSO
ONE OF THE LAST COVER SONGS THE BEATLES RECORDED APPEARING
ON THIER THIRD ALBUM "BEATLES FOR SALE".WITH McCARTNEY
LEADING THE VOCAL CHARGE AND THE BAND ROCKING HARD
BEHIND HIM-LEADING INTO ONE OF GEORGE'S BEST EARLY GUITAR
SOLO'S AND FINALLY SEGUING INTO THE LITTLE RICHARD SONG
WITH IT'S CALL AND RESPONSE VOCAL ALTERNATIONS IT'S JUST
A LITTLE OVER 2 MINUTES OF SOME OF THE BEST STRAIGHT AHEAD
ROCK N' ROLL OF ALL TIME.
