Again i adore George’s guitar work on this (can say that for some many of the BBC covers), John’s vocal is gorgeous and i love John’s spoken intro, especially the bit at the end. What didn’t he nick?

Heard this number before I had ever heard Ballad Of John and Yoko, but I always thought it was a really cool throwback.
