Of course Phish's Neil covers weren't in this categoy...they were the odd Cinnamon Girl (three or four times over the course of ten years) and a year or two with Albuquerque in circulation.

However after watching and hearing him play it... it is a perfect song for him. I found it to be beautiful and I hope that I will hear him play it in person. I hope he plays it from time to time as he has done with "All Along the Watchtower"... another perfect song for Neil to cover. Neil... you are my hero. Dwight

Great if he plays Time Fades Away... long forgotten classic. Actually anything will do! First thing I heard from the man was Cortez The Killer in the 80's. And it was only the guitar intro without the words, and it struck me.

Neil embodies John's soul and passion and brings the sort of musical wizardry and soaring ascendancy the song deserves. Would be a great Bridge concert surprise. Only problem is that Sir Paul can't remember his lines....

Gran tema en su día, ahora Tío Neil lo actualiza superando la "actualización" de Sir Paul.
FOREVER neil YOUNG!!!
