Lucille by The Beatles – ***; by Paul McCartney – ***

First released: 1981

Although The Beatles performed this 1957 Little Richard tune many times live, there was never a live version released until Paul's "Concerts for the People of Kampuchea" album in 1981, which is taken from Wings' final live performances in 1979. Paul recorded a studio version for his 1988 "Choba B CCCP" album, but I prefer the live one. The Beatles also performed this on the radio in 1963 and that appeared on "Live at the BBC" in 1994.
