Get Back.

[Drunk Monk]

This could be partly because my reverence for the Beatles isn't particularly high so I'm hoping they would just get to the dramatic bits. 

I imagine it helps if you know their music - like really know it - which you might not if you're not so reverent. The construction of the songs is where all the drama is for me - like tg says 'to see the sausage made'. You can hear the musical ideas forming and their level of improv is ridiculous. It reminds me of breaking down jazz. After all these years working in the music industry, I feel like I'm finally got enough musical vocabulary to begin to understand jazz. I feel like my dabbling in classical symphony helps. It's that referencing that's so insanely clever. That was much of the magic for the Dead for me. To hear the Beatles do it is such a revelation. 

Plus I worship the Beatles. I got my first CD player when Sgt Pepper came out on CD and have the whole catalog in a box set (a nice wooden case) plus a handful of rarities. It's small compared to my Marley collection, or even my Dead collection actually, but the Beatles still move me with their brilliance. The band was only together for like ten years and we're still talking about them a half century later.
