    Default Don singing "Yes It Is"

    While over in Scotland, I picked up a CD of songs from Neil Young's annual Bridge School benefit concert. Imagine my surprise and delight, when I found that Don does a Beatles song on there, "Yes It Is". I was looking on YouTube and did find a video of it, but no sound, for some strange reason.
    However, the version on the Bridge School CD is absolutely sublime. Has anyone else heard this? It was quite a wonderful surprise for me to hear it!

    Yes, I discovered the Bridge School version a couple of months ago. It is great, isn't it? The part towards the end from "I could be happy" always gets me!

    you keep carrying that anger, it'll eat you up inside--

    I'm certainly familiar with The Beatles' version - great song!

    Don's version of Yes It Is is sublime. As with Glenn's I Saw Her Standing There, I get a huge kick out of hearing them sing the Beatles. More please!

    I have a boot of that Bridge School benefit and ALL Don's songs are wonderful, especially Yes It Is. It is even better because Timothy and J. D. Souther sing on Don's set with him too. Great stuff!

    I just searched for it too and got this message: "This video contains an audio track that has not been authorized by WMG. The audio has been disabled."

    I then noticed that the video was "compliments of donhenleyonline.com" so I went there to see if I could hear the audio. I could! So just click http://www.donhenleyonline.com/multi...horeline86.mpg to download it.

    I might have known that Soda et al would have known about this video . Thanks to everyone who contributes to donhenleyonline.

    GL, thanks for posting the link, so we could see and HEAR the song! I just went and watched it, and I loved seeing them sing it. What a lovely, lovely version of that song-made my heart skip a beat several times!
    Thanks also to Soda for all the work you do for donhenleyonline!

    FP, where can I hear Glenn singing "I Saw Her Standing There"? Being a great lover of Beatles music, I would LOVE to hear Glenn sing that song!

    I love the way Don sings "Yes It Is" - he really does the song justice.

    Stars, I went over to Glenn Frey Online to see if Soda has "I Saw Her Standing There" downloaded, but I couldn't find it. Glenn performed the song in a 1992 San Diego show, along with awesome covers of My Girl and Rocky Mountain Way. There are downloads of the latter two, but no ISHST. Here is the link if you want to check them out.

    Also, the version of ISHST is part of a medley with Partytown, but it really rocks.
