Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds - Elton John (Drum Cover)

Elton John's 1974 cover of 'Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds' was recorded at Caribou Ranch and features John Lennon on guitar and backing vocals.

"Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds" is a song by the English rock band the Beatles from their 1967 album Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. It was written primarily by John Lennon with assistance from Paul McCartney, and credited to the Lennon–McCartney songwriting partnership.

Lennon's son Julian inspired the song with a nursery school drawing that he called "Lucy – in the sky with diamonds". Shortly before the album's release, speculation arose that the first letter of each of the nouns in the title intentionally spelled "LSD", the initialism commonly used for the hallucinogenic drug lysergic acid diethylamide. Lennon repeatedly denied that he had intended it as a drug song, and attributed the song's fantastical imagery to his reading of Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland books.

The weekend I recorded this song was after watching a video of Nigel Olson playing drums in a Nashville studio in the 90s with his Elton John concert tom kit with ambassador drum heads.

Anyhow that’s why I changed my concert tom kit heads!

Please leave comments and thoughts!

I hope you enjoy it!
