I Want You (She’s So Heavy) - BOC (Beatles Cover)

Performed live just weeks after John Lennon was murdered, the band played it as a tribute to him. The band does a great job, but the centerpiece is Buck Dharma’s outstanding guitar solo.

Written by Joni Mitchell (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cRjQCvfcXn0), Woodstock was also done by Crosby Stills Nash & Young (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HKdsRWhyH30), and by Mathews Southern Comfort (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kn9hi9fAwUQ). Other artists also did this song, but CSN&Y and MSC are my favorites.
