I prefer the demo to the final cut, it just has a bit more spirit to it and I like the quiet melodiousness of George's voice.

This one grew on me. It used to be one of my least favorite late-era Beatles songs. Most of my favorite Beatles songs happen to be written by George Harrison.

Hm, I always thought it resembled another George track, For You Blue, but it does actually sound like a better H61 Revisited. Maybe if Dylan put more effort into his stuff he would've come out with this

The urgent beat, that punchy baseline, the way George rips off one of his finest solos: it all combines to make one of their finest efforts and possibly my favorite Beatles song. And that's saying something!
