The Beatles playing Yesterday live, in Tokyo, Japan, 1966. The whole band plays the song, not just Paul.

Acoustic Demo of the song, 1968:

Other lesser versions after the jump.

McCartney Live

These compilations of old clips that attempt to approximate a video never seem to get it right (i.e., this is McCartney,not Lennon singing)

As you can see, many of these images long predate the White Album.

At the 3:45 minute mark, you can see McCartney perform the song at the Grammys.

Given the song and the band, you would think U2 could really crush this song.  U2 Helter Skelter from Rattle and Hum. You'd be wrong.

Since April Fool's Day is only 2 days from now,  we present what is simply one of the most embarrassing things ever to have an affiliation with the Beatles: "Day in the Decade" Beatles tribute segment from 1977 Rolling Stone Anniversary.

Bleccch!

The author of it writes: 

Beatles tribute from hell! From the Rolling Stone Magazine 10th Anniversary TV special in 1977, found by me on an unlabled Beta tape at a flea market. Featuring Ted Neeley (the guy who played Jesus in "Jesus Christ Superstar"), Patti Labelle, Yvonne Elliman and several others. I'm sure most of them would prefer this never be seen again.

When The Beatles first set out to make “Let It Be” in 1969, they intended a recording that would be a return to a live performance of just the bare necessities of the band, no studio effects or overdubbing of voices or instruments would be allowed. However, caught in the turmoil of the break-up of the band, the album was re-produced by Phil Spector and never released as The Beatles had originally meant it to sound.

Simply awful production values, running concert footage of some song (probably not this one) over the studio version of the tune.

DrumPants are a set of pants that enable the wearer to produce drum sounds by hitting various parts of the pants with his hands. The wearer thusly becomes a cyborg musician, his body assuming the roles of both player and instrument, allowing for spontaneous electric hambone solos or even collaborations with other musicians in a band setting.

Decent video of the song I hadn't seen before; A YouTube poster notes:

The Beatles recorded a segment for the David Frost Show in 1968, but instead of it being totally live, they used a track to sync along to. The BBC had a rule stating that all music videos had to be recorded live or else they wouldn't play them. To loophole this, the Beatles added a few "live" elements to this song, such as Paul's screaming, the extra reverb, and the "shoob-be-doo-wop" vocals.
