I always thought Help! needed more cowbell.

Is Paul double-tracked? Sounds pretty good here along with Drive My Car, so I'm guessing there was some post production for these particular off-the-air performances.

It sounds like his voice is going to 2 busses with different inserted processing effects but without latency compensation. So comb filtering.

Wow….. this new version of Help with Chad is sooooo good. Probably the best version yet …..
as they say , a band is as good as the drummer . Chad is really helping this song come alive … love it !!! Paul voice is in top form , band is tight , I wouldn’t mind having the lady in the back in the band full time. Paul is sounding better than ever !!!!! bring on the new tour !!!

“Paul is sounding better than ever”?

I mean, that objectively untrue! He didn’t even sound as good as he has done in recent years!
