Yes - because this song was recorded six months before the band got into cannabis. Take a close listen to Paul's bass part on the official version of Twist And Shout, recorded a full year before You Can't Do That - he was always a melodic bassist, with or without weed.
John's amazing roaring rhythm guitar that fully kick starts the song after George's twelve-string guitar intro never fails to get my blood rushing for this absolute groove of a tune. John rips an amazing roaring solo on this as well, not to mention his vocals. He was on fire
Love all of your deconstructions. They are very inspiring. The original mixes of all of the early Beatles are very weak. For the first time we get to hear the bass and drums and they are better than originally credited. Ringo is the first rock drummer and, to his credit, one of the best. Thanks a lot!
He didn’t want to be on camera during his solos because he didn’t want people knowing it was him. He was very self conscious about his lead guitar skills.
I just spent an hour searching for a live video of them that shows John playing the solo and couldn’t find one! They always show Paul and George or Ringo during John’s solo!
