Needs more cowbell!

An interesting note on 'You Can't Do That' is the bell is used in the recording (presumably overdubbed) but not live. Nevertheless, the tribute band drummers often have a bell on the left foot playing all 4 quarter notes. That would take a bit of practice given that it's tricky to play that against the bass pattern hitting on 1, 3&4.

Dan,

It’s interesting that you would say that! I was recently in a 60’s tribute band and that’s exactly what I did. Plus, I sang George’s harmonies! It’s challenges like those that made it so fun.

I always appreciate watching musicians who are able to make up for aspects of original recordings that are tricky to replicate live. Glad you gave it a whirl, especially George's harmonies! Keep me away from the mic for that. singer
