I like almost any Beatle cover-song I come across, but I have a hard time liking Rolling Stones cover-songs. I don't know if I am more critical being a Stones fans or I am more use to hearing the Beatles being covered by other groups.

I am split with this track. I think don't the backing band did a better job music-wise. It begins odd and could be had been more well thought out; but the backing track picks up after awhile. On the other hand I think they did an amazing job arranging the vocals. Sound like Billy Davis Jr. doing lead part. I really like the exchange between all the singers during the chorus. I think vocals are where they really knock it out of the ballpark.
