It made me shudder as I heard it. |

I always wanted to quote myself so here I go
No in fact there is a reason other than that I like my posts that much and that is the fact that I downloaded a version of "Here comes the sun". It seems to be a TV broadcast from 31.12.01 and you can find it on Nancy`s site

I must admit that I changed my mind after watching this clip in good quality. It is a decent performance- I like it. Somewhere I got hold of a mp3 of his HCTS performance with crappy audio quality and listening to it was pure pain. The singing was that much off that you could hardly bear it. Now either that was a different performance (wasn`t there once a Harrison tribute show that had nothing to do with new years eve?) or it really was simply due to the sound quality. Go and listen to the clip now posted and share your opinions. Dissention, what about you- you like that one better too?
