Abbey Road??

Post by WestwayKid »

I'm looking for input on how we handle Abbey Road, specifically the medley.

Do we break it up track by track, or group together?

Here Comes the Sun
Because
You Never Give Me Your Money
Sun King / Mean Mr. Mustard / Polythene Pam
She Came in Through the Bathroom Window
Golden Slumbers / Carry That Weight / The End
Her Majesty

???

I suggest song by song so the face meltingly rocking Polythene Pam doesn't get harmed by the dead weight before it.

I've always seen Golden Slumbers/Carry That Weight/The End as one piece. The rest could be separate songs.

Correct
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a bowl of soup
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a rolling hoop
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a ton of lead
Wiggle - you can raise the dead

I won't hear a bad word about Mean Mr Mustard! Great, fun tune and love the vocal harmonies.

I always think of the whole thing as one song because of the "You Never Give..." reprise toward the end. But I don't feel strongly enough to fight for it.

I'll reiterate my opinion again, I think Golden Slumbers/Carry That Weight/The End sound like one co-joined song. The others sound like independent songs which have just been cobbled together.

I hope this pre-vote vote ends in a vote so we can vote
