Aerosmith Salutes The Beatles ‘Come Together’ Live At Woodstock!
Aerosmith Comes Together For Woodstock ’94!
I think the only people that love The Beatles more than regular people are the guys in Aerosmith.
Whether they’re performing ‘Come Together’ live as they are here at Woodstock ’94 or Steven Tyler is paying tribute to his friend Paul McCartney, we can always count on the boys in Aerosmith to do an amazing job covering their heroes!
This performance is no exception! Aerosmith does a fantastic job of bringing a modern, gritty flare to ‘Come Together’, but they still keep the vibe of the original done by The Beatles.
It has been speculated that each verse of ‘Come Together’ refers cryptically to one of the Beatles.
Creepy! No wonder the song sounds so intense! (Provigil)
Much like their heroes, Aerosmith has made history, too:
They performed the first and most successful cover version of ‘Come Together’.It even appeared in the movie and on the soundtrack to the film Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band!
What an awesome cover done by an awesome band, and I’m sure Paul McCartney loved it!
+ Come Together lyrics +
Here come old flattop, he come grooving up slowly
He got joo-joo eyeball, he one holy roller
He got hair down to his knee
Got to be a joker he just do what he please
He wear no shoeshine, he got toe-jam football
He got monkey finger, he shoot coca-cola
He say “I know you, you know me”
One thing I can tell you is you got to be free
Come together right now over me
He bag production, he got walrus gumboot
He got Ono sideboard, he one spinal cracker
He got feet down below his knee
Hold you in his armchair you can feel his disease
Come together right now over me
(Right!
Come, oh, come, come, come.)
He roller-coaster, he got early warning
He got muddy water, he one mojo filter
He say “One and one and one is three”
Got to be good-looking cos he’s so hard to see
Come together right now over me
Oh
Come together
Yeah come together
Yeah come together
Yeah come together
Yeah come together
Yeah come together
Yeah come together
Yeah oh
Come together
Yeah come together
