I picked it up halfway through "Driven to Tears" with an interesting backing group.

It's a decent version, although much less rockin' with ?uestlove on drums.

I'm sure this'll be on Youtube in no time flat, or I'd offer to post my Tivo'd version of it.

Also: Ringo answering phones!! OUTSTANDING!

Liked it. Quite a bit.

Youtube

The guitar was interesting, I really liked it.

Very nice. Thanks for the link, Syling. (Since this is for charity, I won't bitch about the brass.)

Thanks to MariahH, I learned that ?uestlove had himself a moment earlier today when he realized his part in the show (http://twitter.com/questlove/status/8077767141):

Priceless.

Thanks for the clip, Syling. That performance was, of course, the one part of the special that I missed. I'm glad I caught it here.

I think this version worked well given the event. And, like DM, I'm not going to complain about the brass because, honestly, when was the last time you saw a tuba player rock out that hard?

Who is this guitarist??
Very very good! if you think that is improvised (one rehearsal).

Is the beard on ebay yet ?
The guitarist's sound reminded me of the old song "Popcorn", only played much much faster...

Think it'd raise money?

It was a kick-ass version. I liked it! The band was The Roots. The guitarist was awesome.

by **ghostinthepolice** on 23 Jan 2010 18:31

Oh my GOD! The guitarist is Mark Whitfield!! I have (one) his CD and i haven't recognize him!!

Really Great into their solo style!

by **dufmanno** on 24 Jan 2010 01:57

The Roots are amazing. I really loved the way they played together. Although, I'd shit my pants if I found out I was playing the SC part too.

by **Krokodyle** on 25 Jan 2010 21:19

I liked the performance very much, and an appropriate song as well. Can't help it when he does an oldie!

They style reminded me of his work circa 1990/91, similar to the the Timothy White sessions (the absence of an audience heightened that atmosphere).

It was nice to see him shaven again. That beard was frightening. :lol:

by **oneworld** on 25 Jan 2010 22:41

I have to say I really like this version! Cool guitarist too.
Glad to see the beard is gone. :lol:
