ggtan (2010, August 6) In fact that was George who played bass. He told that during an interview he gave to CREEM magazin in decembre 1987.
extract from the interview
\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"CREEM: You also told me you played bass on \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"Old Brown Shoe.\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"
George: It’s like a lunatic playing.
CREEM: It sounds like McCartney was going nuts again.
George: That was me going nuts. I’m doing exactly what I do on the guitar.
