Favorite Beatles song to play live?
I was in a three piece band that did She's So Heavy (I Want you).
When we got to the end noise we somehow made it sound like the record. To this day I do not know how we did that. Prolly the guitarist did it. Cuz I just played the Am note.

Guitarists make a lot of noise.
Eventually, though, they lose consciousness and then you can stuff them in the trunk.

I never got the chance to play much Beatles live - a few early hits.
But I used to play with those older guys and sometimes we'd have to stay on stage forever and pour out songs set after set after set. At some point, the brass guys would take a break and leave the stage to us (drums, bass, guitar) for a while, and we'd fly that thing through the seat of our pants, pretty much.
The Beatles were pretty much all I listened to back then, and those gigs reminded me of the stuff I'd read about them playing the Star Club in Hamburg when they had to learn all kind of songs, not necessarily typical material for rock and roll bands, so I found myself recycling that same material I'd learned listening to the Star Club album - songs like Lend Me Your Comb, Your Feet's Too Big and Red Sails in the Sunset. Songs I probably never would have heard of otherwise.
To me, those gigs captured the spirit than any Beatles cover we could have played.

Exactly Rain. That early raw spirit was the best part of the Beatles to me as well.
I have never played a Beatles song live. Maybe some day it will happen. First I got to get myself back up there again. I Feel Fine would be at the top of the list, as a possability.

From the age of 15 to 55, in my various bands, also as a part of guitar vocal duo, or in the barren musical years, just noodling on acoustic guitar, I have always played 'I saw Her Standing There'
No band I played with has ever baulked at including it in the set, and at the right time, usually of the evening, audiences of all types still seem to love it to this day.

Never played any live (that I remember...), but played on covers of 'For No-One' and 'She's Leaving Home', both of which I enjoyed greatly.

Every gig I do these days is improvised, so we never know what we're going to play. It's all off the tops of our heads, so Beatles tunes naturally get thrown into the mix.
Crowd-pleasers are Twist and Shout and I Saw Her Standing There, but they're boring to me.
Personal favorites are the ones that are fun to harmonize on: I Should Have Known Better, Chains, Nowhere Man, That Boy. We usually perform as a two-man band, but I use a harmonizer box onstage so I can sound like two to five voices. Two to five voices that, even if they don't get the lyrics right, are still in agreement with one another. (The five of us kill on Eagles tunes, e.g. "Take it To the Limit" and "Take it Easy".)
I used to do "Let it Be" a lot when I still had my singing voice, but nowadays I lack the control and range to do it well. "Oh! Darling" I still do, but only at the end of the night when I won't need my voice again for a few days.
 All else is in doubt, so this is the truth I cling to. My Stuff

And there is a version of it on bootlegs that has Jimi Hendrix on guitar ... !!! Seriously!

I've heard the version he did on The BBC Sessions. Not a bootleg, but still kinda cool.

The one I would have liked to perform: Paperback writer. Unfortunately we never had enough singing potential in our band.
The riff kicking in is one of the all time greatest. It has more hook, IMO, than for example Sweet Home Alabama.

Norwegian Wood, Taxman, I used to play Martha My Dear on piano but I let it slip away... Most all of the early stuff is fun and easy. I like to play Till There was You. Used to do solo on Rocky Raccoon while the rest of the band took a break.

http://www.beatlesebooks.com/cant-buy-me-loveOne day after "Can't Buy Me Love" was released, sales passed the million mark in the US, which encouraged Capitol to ask three outside pressing plants (RCA, Savoy and Decca) for help in printing further copies. The single spent 5 weeks at number one in America. Pop chart April 4, 1964:  The Beatles were a pretty big deal in 1964. I always hear that CBML sold a million before it was released, I guess the day after is pretty impressive too. Those days are LONG gone. J
