Tuesday’s Tune: I am the Walrus

This is a huge performance from Oasis at last year’s BBC Electric Proms. With the Crouch End Festival Chorus doing the oooo’s, Oasis’s I am the Walrus is big, loud, anarchic and, as my friend Bruce says, “I think JWL would have approved”.

Fittingly for Oasis – who I always thought of more as a Paul than a John-type band – the famous riff from McCartney’s heaviest song, Helter Skelter rounds it off. (Which gets me thinking: isn’t it about time the Beatles original Helter Skelter recording – all 27 minutes of it – is released?)
