Brian+Ringo=worst Barbara Ann ever

[Jason]

sure would nice to be PM'd in regards to this....

Yea, same here.

By the way, why was I the only one censored and warned asking for a PM? I feel bullied.

You were asked nicely, Antti. Please don't feel bullied. We all want to have our shot to hear all the goodies that are out there, but we HAVE HAVE HAVE HAVE to be discreet about it. I don't know if you were around during the big TLOS scandal in 2007, but that really went a long ways towards certain things imploding, with people asking left and right from where and from whom to get them. We're making a simple request, not a demand. We all enjoy the forum and we don't want to have any trouble with the big boys in the BB world.

Is it worse than the version by The Who? Wow...

What??!!!!!!!!!!  The Who's version is loud, racous, brash, rambunctious, over the top - and just plain rocks!  And the little bit of barbershop harmony near the end is brilliant.

My personal fave version of the song.

Thank you! It's about time somebody showed some good taste regarding that version. Despite your Rocky Pamplin avatar.

Is there such a thing as a good version of 'Barbara Ann'?

I like the Bob Hope Show version (1965 or 1966?) with Brian present.  Short version but rocks!

Yeh same here!! I saw you mentioned it in an earlier post too (I think) and I was going to agree with you but forgot... But I made sure I downloaded that version as it rocks!! I love Brian on that clip. I'm pretty sure its a pre-recorded track but its a live vocal from what I understand?? And the vocals sound superb.

I don't think the track was pre-recorded. Looks completely live to me...

Here to compare:

The Beach Boys (Bob Hope show)
