Paul McCartney - Yesterday - Live at Anfield, Liverpool 1st June

“Yesterday“ is a pop song originally recorded by The Beatles for their 1965 album Help!. According to the Guinness Book of Records, “Yesterday“ has the most cover versions of any song ever written. The song remains popular today with more than 3,000 recorded cover versions, the first hitting the United Kingdom top 10 three months after the release of Help!. Broadcast Music Incorporated (BMI) asserts that it was performed over seven million times in the 20th century alone. The song was not released as a single in the UK at the time of the US release, and thus never gained number 1 single status in that country. However, “Yesterday“ was voted the best song of the 20th century in a 1999 BBC Radio 2 poll of music experts and listeners. “Yesterday“ takes the form of a melancholic acoustic ballad about a break-up. It was the first official recording by The Beatles that relied upon a performance by a single member of the band — Paul McCartney was accompanied solely by a string quartet. The final recording differed so greatly from other works by The Beatles that the other three members of the band vetoed the release of the song as a single in the United Kingdom. Although credited to “Lennon/McCartney“, the song was written solely by McCartney.
