I just downloaded Sgt. Peppers from Live8....

[cobl04]

Does anyone else think that Bono's voice kind of wrecks the performance? I haven't actually seen the performance since Live8 but I'm assuming that the first voice is Paul McCartney's.

 

[gherman]

No

 

[AtomicBono]

what's wrong with his voice? it sounds fine to me

 

[KhanadaRhodes]

okay

 

[~BrightestStar~]

No

I'll second that.

 

[Sken]

I thought he did a great job, and he really looked like he was enjoying the opportunity too.

 

[mobvok]

I think I prefer Bono to John Lennon in the song.

 

[Ellay]

I think I prefer Bono to John Lennon in the song.

You realise that's verging on sacrilege....

 

[zepher25]

i prefered the U2 songs at live 8, beautiful day was the best!

 

[Irishteen]

Sgt. Peppers from Live8 was great, I loved it. Can't find anything wrong with Bono's voice

 

[Goocher100]

I pretty fond of it actually.

 

[cobl04]

Well, looks like I'm outvoted. It just sounded out of place to me.

 

[Canadiens1131]

Cue stupid fan comment about Bono being a better singer than Paul.

 

[SunBloc]

Actually Bono did a great job singing with Paul. (Paul was good too, Canadians! )

 

[Reggie Thee Dog]

Well, looks like I'm outvoted. It just sounded out of place to me.

Of course it sound out of place when compared to the original, so don't take it so hard.

I love Bono's voice, but even at 95 McCartney has a smoother voice than Bono.

I loved the live 8 version , the song has tempted me to listen to the beatles for the 1st time but i resisted.

I wish this song was released as a single not just as a download.

 

[U2girl]

Of course it sound out of place when compared to the original, so don't take it so hard.

I love Bono's voice, but even at 95 McCartney has a smoother voice than Bono.

It helps that he didn't have lines remotely close to Bono's to sing for over 20 years.

 

[cobl04]

On the chorus it sounded fine, it was just when he had his own vocal it didn't flow as well. Not taking away anything from his voice. Anyone who can sing the Italian part to Miss Sarajevo in their 40's is a star in my eyes.

 

[Alannahvox]

I think Bono did a great job at Live8. Macca seemed to appreciate it as well.
