A Day in the Life
Jim proposed this comparison, but he didn't write a comment. So I will try to introduce this song. Although I am a Phish fan (In Germany Phish is not very famous, noone knows them here), I cannot take pleasure in this version. It sounds a little bit boring, at least the 30 seconds sample. I don't have the CD. The Beatles original is much more multi-faceted, a great song on a great album.

Comments about A Day in the Life:
If Day in the Life was just a song, you might just be able to begin talking about a comparison between the two versions. The simple truth though is that it's far more than that, it's a piece of sheer creative genius, and trying to rate a cover against it - ANY cover - is an utter waste of time.

Close call. I like the way Phish have tried to keep the sound raw. The music is great, just the voice lets the song down. Had to vote Beatles.

Phish was geat but the Beatles were phenominal. Very rarely can a cover overtake an original. Phish nailed many beatles tunes but you can not take away from those who created and performed the original in its pure form.

i voted phish, its live, and they are able to recreate rather well i may add the orchestral flurishes that are present in the beatles version. better singers and songwrites are the beatles, and paul may be a better bass player, but fishman destroys ringo as a drummer. also al sorry your dads wrong you could not ever have the musicanship of either band.

I am not surprised that the Beatles version is killing here..BUT THEY ARE IN A STUDIO..I don't listen to the Beatles all that much, but know that I enjoy Phish much much more..The beatles are solid sounding but honestly from all of their music I have heard it becomes dull..Phish is constantly changing, and constantly improvising..Phish can straight up jam..Sorry beatles but your lame..PHISH LIVE ON

God, the Phish version is nowhere near The Beatles's. No contest.
