My favorite bass line by Klaus is on "Isolation" (Miles Davis's "rule" : simpler is beautiful; it perfectly deserves this song), "God" follows for the same reason - and the "Remember" chorus "don't you worry 'bout what you've done"... John's double-tracking vocals harmonies which sounds very Beatlesque, and Klaus played here a very melodic bass line which is a kind of counterpoint to the heartbeat, marathon bass-line of someone who is running through all his live (you know John's verse in God).
Talking about "Heartbeat", the heartbeat, pumping bombastic bass line on "Cold Turkey" is another winner.
What's your favorite Klaus Voormann bassline?

She's a drag. A well-known drag. We turn the sound down on her and say rude things.

The bass is so tricky that even he plays 2 notes wrong. ( he plays a c# instead of a c ).

not the best instrumental mix (I'm sure a better mix can be done); be that's enough to appreciate the double-drumming intro (2 drummers as posted above) and David Spinozza on blasting, smashing guitar. And that's a Yoko's song...
If I wanted to film a gangster high tension scene which starts by running then a police car chase (like in To Live And Die In L.A or a Michael Mann movie) I would use this track.

Thank you! I never knew there was an official video.
(Neither did the light man)
Ringo looks very 'Candy'...(Blindman)
and you snow it don't come easy!
We're just lucky Peter Sellers didn't show up as Werner Von Strangelove onboard the Magic Christian!
Lots of projects! One Ringo...and, a George!
