I agree totally with you Jeff and JPM-Fangirl on the vocal sequence of George, Paul, George (again), and John on those amusing instrumental breaks. For something fun when my son was very young, I would point to their pictures as they were singing their respective lines to help my son make the connection. And we too would crack up at John’s having fun with his last lines in the sequence.

That’s right, Jeff. It’s most definitely George, Paul, George, John on the repeated lines. John’s ‘what’s your name’ always cracks me up; he sounds like he’s doing his ‘crip face’ during that lyric.

I’ve listened to this song several times trying to pick out who is singing. It sounds to me that it goes George, Paul, George then John

Ohh, when you say that Ringo is singing the last ” Look a there”
I believe it’s John, he’s always making goofy voices, and you really hear his voice, ringo’s more bass 🙂

regarding AHDN. The Piano was taken from the Studio version as George Martin couldn’t come in to perform with the lads

The BBC version of I Feel Fine has different sound of feedback, so I suppose it was recorded during this rendition of the song. The BBC recordings were mostly live, recorded in 1 take, but as noted in “Live At The BBC” booklet the “BBC” feedback took a couple of takes to record.

Yeah, I think Ringo’s one of the four, even though they’re all doing fairly goofy voices! Many of those wonderful Coasters classics had little vocal bits that the four singers subdivided among themselves. Ringo was available, so I can’t see any reason why they wouldn’t use his voice, unless maybe the BBC facilities had no means of miking a drummer. I’ll have to give this another listen tonight to make sure.

Which leads me to wondering: Were those BBC sessions generally recorded live-off-the-floor, with live vocals; or did they overdub vocals (and maybe other things) afterwards? The BBC version of “A Hard Day’s Night” very obviously punched in the regular studio recording of the instrumental break. That’s not an overdub, but it does show that SOME tampering was done, in at least that one case. (The Beeb version of “I Feel Fine” may have similarly punched in the feedback intro.)

Joe – I have no basis for this except for my tired old ears, but do I hear Ringo singing (talking) one of the “look a-there” lines?
