Just my two cents, but I was tired of that tune BIG TIME even BEFORE Maynard started playing it ---- I remember my buddies and I would roll our eyes and sigh when MF and the band would end their
fantastic concerts with that trifle. About ten or fifteen minutes that could have gone to a blistering new arrangement or two ---- No --- freaking Hey Jude, for God's sake --- And the MF II version is a complete bore
as well. And while I am on this subject, what in the world does "Hey Jude" have to do with the opening of the Summer Olympics, other than the fact that McCartney is English ???   Here a billion people are watching
this fantastic international show , and they END with Hey Jude ????    Just beyond me , totally beyond me. Enough already with that damn tune.
