THE NIGHT BEFORE
(Lennon-McCarteney)
1965


Written by Paul, the song is performed in the film Help! with the band 
surrounded by tanks and soldiers on Salisbury Plain.  John plays the 
electric piano.  The Help! album showed that the imbalance between Lennon 
and McCartney as songwriters was showing signs of levelling out.
