Blue Suede Shoes

From BeatlesWiki

Blue Suede Shoes was covered by The Beatles live in the studio during rehearsals for the Get Back sessions in January 1969. A much trimmed down edit of a January 26, 1969 performance was included on Anthology 3, released in 1996. The song was originally written and performed by Carl Perkins in 1955. In addition to the Get Back sessions recording, The Beatles performed the song in live performances from 1957 to 1962, though no recording from this era exists.
