Grateful Dead Family Discography: I Saw Her Standing There

I Saw Her Standing There

Composer: John Lennon / Paul McCartney

I Saw Her Standing There was recorded by Jerry Garcia but he probably never played it in concert. The song was played by Phil Lesh with Too Loose To Truck in 1976 and with the Broken Angels in 1997. Vince Welnick played the song with The Tubes.

The song was written primarily by Paul McCartney, possibly with some contribution from John Lennon, in 1961. The Beatles recorded the song in the studio in February 1963. It was first released on the Please Please Me album in the UK in March 1963. In the US it was first released on a single at the end of 1963 and then on the Introducing... The Beatles and Meet The Beatles albums at the start of 1964. Other takes of the song from the Feb 1963 recording sessions were released on the Free As A Bird CD single in 1995 and on the digital release The Beatles Bootleg Recordings 1963 in 2013.

Some recordings of the song, for example those by Mary Wells, Maggie Bell and Tiffany, use the title I Saw Him Standing There.
