Here Comes the Sun by The Beatles – ****

First released: 1969

If you read my introduction, you already read about how I heard Eric Idle perform this tune and how I wanted to hear what it really sounded like, beginning my lifelong passion for The Beatles.

One of the highlights of "Abbey Road", "Sun" makes its live debut in "The Concert for Bangla Desh" to a very receptive audience, that was later included on 2009’s "Let it Roll – Songs by George Harrison". All George has to do it play a couple of notes and the crowd roars. Small wonder that the studio version also appears on "1967-1970" and "The Best of George Harrison". It is also used for 2006's "Love".

Also performed on George Harrison’s "Live in Japan" album and tour in 1991.
