OMG…I’m a black woman born in the 60’s and this song was everything at the time and it still is today… I loved the seventies, the music, the fashion every thing was great about that era. I miss those days
@@cdddan1 Honestly I can’t imagine anyone saying that. I think from 2016 to 2021 will be looked at like the Great Depression or the Civil War People are struggling & the country is more divided than ever.
To yeshua3451. I’m a black woman born in 61 and I also love the 60,70,80s music especially the old school music and this is my favorite song by George Harrison I love it I too miss this kind of music today it’s a very good thing I have cds, LPs, and cassette but hell no NO 8 tracks thank God yikes 😂 have a great day and evening with peace and 💕
A grown man crying listening to this song (and I don't care what anyone thinks) I bet I'm not the first and definitely not the last to shed a few tears watching this. Words can't describe how good this is ♥️😢
I would rather live as if there is a God, and die to find out there isn't..Than to live my life as if there isn't a God, then die and find out there is!!
@@teklife I agree. And even through a headset- I can identify most of unique sounds all coming together! With a perfect balance between Billy’s voice and the magic of the rest.
Linda música que marcou minha adolescência, anos 80 dourados e maravilhosos que jamais existirá igual. A juventude de hoje não sabe o que ser feliz com pouco, não sabe o que é música boa e de qualidade
The amazing Billy Preston. What a voice! When you have Ringo Starr, Paul McCartney, and Eric Clapton, and Dhani Harrison backing you up, you KNOW you've come home!
I hope Dhani, when he was on stage, respected the legends he was playing alongside, because assuming that place with them is the greatest of honors, just as they honored Dhani by having him stand amongst them. He will never be his father, but he earned his place representing him.
@@wrigman I believe it was George Martin that usually received that designation. Billy was a good friend of George's and was brought in as a condition of George returning to finish the "Abbey Road" album to serve as a stabilizing presence. He also played in the famous rooftop concert that marked their last performance together as "The Beatles."
@@frossbogGeorge Martin does but Billy does too. Honestly there’s a few “fifth Beatles” and I think that’s because no one person other than John Paul George or Ringo is grisly a Beatle the way they were. But others have come close and that’s why they share the fifth spot
What a pity Billy Preston past away so early i remember his played with The Beatles he was so young ,people changing during years RIP BILLY PRESTON AMAZING MUSICIAN ❤❤❤❤
Billy Preston died a few years after this. Indeed, he is now in heaven with his friend and they are probably singing together. Rest in peace Billy and rest in peace George. You are missed but never forgotten.
The resurrection of the dead has not yet come, they sleep. Furthermore, there are no musical instruments in heaven. We will be like angels of light. Read the Bible and you will know the truth, Jesus!
That's for sure, a lot of rock stars in heaven, excellent Billy Preston and George Harrison was singing with all the stars on Stage, very high class version, this song is a good way to conect yourself with God, to give thanks, George Harrison leave this legacy to humanity

Hello, @guillermo3564 - indeed a very good point. Without them this concert would be very poor and incomplete. Bravo for this good observation. Best regards 👍👏😉☮
I am a black American brother who came of age in 70's. This composition was extremely hugh for my people. I pray my people learn to love its own first.
Jeff -- 🇨🇦 Nov. 7 2024 !! George is missed . Totally under appreciated ! He was the best of the Beatles ! I’m 70 years old and I remember Feb. 9, 1964 ! I was 10 lying on the floor watching the Ed Sullivan Show !!! Awesome ! 😊😊
A master piece by Georges Harrison RIP. What ever is your religion, the spirituality of this song is deeper than the ocean. I'm a muslim and can't have enough of it.
@@wilsonattitoe3997 Yes I remember that. Also the story that Dhani got teased when Yellow Submarine came out. He didn`t know his father was in The Beatles. George`s reply was " Sorry, I guess I should haave told you that . . . . :)
Billy struggled with addiction and battled demons his entire life and yet he was capable of giving us such beautiful music. It’s hard to believe he’s been gone for fifteen years. Rest In Peace, Billy
Amen Brother! The same for the Divinely gifted Sir Eric. The Great Spirits greatest work has always shown through in those who suffered the most in this life, or the next...
I am not a religious man. But this brings tears to my eyes. How on earth you cannot be moved by this song is beyond me . And the dislikes not worth mentioning
@shame fitzsimons - I'm the same! 51 years old, tears streaming. Why is that? Religious? Me? No. Spiritual maybe? Something in this brings out my love for other humans.
23 July 2024 my sweet Lord, has and always will be the most beautiful heart felt, spiritual awakening song ever written. I still shed tears of joy whenever I hear this . This should be played on every station everyday because The Sweet Lord only knows this world could use it. May the lord bless George and Billy in the heavens above. 🕊️❤️
Oh my God--so grateful that this came up on my suggestions...I'm stunned at how incredibly good this version is. Every part is covered by this skilled ensemble. The harmony vocals are sublime! I've always loved Billy Preston (and George of course!) this is quite the gift! Always nice to see Dhani there looking just like his Dad playing guitar. You are so right, this should be played on the radio every day because this troubled world needs more of the love and joy this song provides. Amen to that! (wish I'd known about this video during the pandemic...)
You may not be with the Lord , but he's within us waiting for us to turn to him. This song is more than emotions. It was no accident that George inserted the Lord's holy name into this gospel type of song. Remember even in Christianity the name of the Lord is considered holy. " Hallowed be thy name" In the Vedas it is said that the holy name of the Lord is non different to the Lord himself. That's why people can listen to this song without ever getting bored, and factually everytime you hear the name of the Lord, you are making spiritual advancement, without even knowing it. This is beyond mundane religion. Krishna says in the Gita. " Give up all varieties of religion and Just surrender to me. I will protect you from all sinful reactions do not fear " Because that is real point of any religion to develop our love for God and go back home, the spiritual world.
An illustration of how powerful a songwriter George Harrison was. He was in a band with the two greatest songwriters in history. George shone very brightly in his solo career. His light will shine on forever.
As The Beatles did their last ever record in the studio, "Abbey Road", Harrison wrote "Something" and "Here Comes The Sun". Both John and Paul gave high praise to their band mate. McCartney said, "George now writes songs that are at least as good as John's and mine". Lennon said "Something" is the best song on the album. They must have realized that as they all got more mature into their mid and late 20s, George was in a bit of a tough spot since John and Paul had been the ones who had written most all their songs from the beginning and were such good song writers. Harrison was 3 years younger than John and a year and a half younger than Paul. when they started John was 16, Paul was 14 almost 15. George was only 13 at that time. When you are that young, 1 or 2, and especially 3 grades older kinda makes a big difference when you are in your middle school and high school years. That is where the dynamic of the band began.
@@nycinstyle Lennon was a wife-beater and was also criminally overrated, as was his horrendous sounding wife. The truth in the matter is that Harrison never needed The Beatles...
@@davidlindley2754 Harrison I am positive was extremely happy that he was a part of The Beatles, and he would disagree with your comment calling Lennon overrated. Obviously, Harrison didn't need Lennon and McCartney to be a great musician/singer/songwriter, none of them needed each other. All of them duh of course were very happy they were together and members of The Beatles.
Your listening to this song in 2024 ?? WOW isn't that just fantastic I didn't think people would be listening to it in 2024 that's just amazing who would of thought hey??
Wow, I'm just coming from the Get Back documentary. Seeing an older Billy Preston playing my favorite Harrison song actually almost brought a tear to my eye. Not to mention also having Clapton and Harrison's son on guitar with Paul and Ringo there too. I can't even describe the emotions that this video made me feel because it took me so much by surprise. Wonderful performance. And wow, Dhani Harrison looks SO much like his father here
RIP George Harrison (February 25, 1943 - November 29, 2001), aged 58 And RIP Billy Preston (September 2, 1946 - June 6, 2006), aged 59 You both will be remembered as legends.
Billy Preston will also be remembered for staging a fire at his home as part of a $1 million insurance fraud scheme. Billy Preston: I really wanna see you lord, but it takes so long …… LORD: you didn’t make the cut Billy with all the alcohol, drugs, women. You worshipped the almighty dollar more than you worshipped me so “it’s gonna take a little longer, eternally longer in fact” All those adoring fools who loved your hypocritical religious devotion to me do NOT match your nefarious deeds. Pearly gates Closed. So you won’t “get to know me” like you thought by singing fake devotion songs….
@@MyOneFiftiethOfADollar why cashtise him for his sins....when you sin....just differently! And i am an atheist!!! So technically I do not believe in sin...just humanity and non of us are perfect!
Thank you, George Harrison, for this beautiful song and thank you to Your son and Billy Preston, Eric Clapton, Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr and the many other wonderful musicians and singers that paid tribute to you this way. Absolutely stunning.
One of the rare instances where a live version is far superior to the original. Billy Preston absolutely nails this, and the backing vocals and instruments were superb. Love it
I have dementia, which amongst other thing makes me very emotional. Tears are streeming down my face as I watch this. What an amazing tribute to a very humble man! RIP George.
I aint dementiaed yet, and I am crying. It's a great song, a great tribute that involves his son and great artists, and make no mistake about it, it involves Him and His Son, too.
From Atlanta, GA. in Dubai 10/26/24 almost in tears listening to this awesome music. God bless you George for many years of greatness. Bless you reading this.
No, he did not ! The LORD JESUS CHRIST is not Hare Krishna.... and all the other false gods! Listen to the backing singers .... what are saying, Hare Rana, Hare Krishna, Guru Vishnu, guru devo, parabahma, guru nahama etc. These are all names of false gods. Cannot and will never be The Gospel... the Gospel is about the LORD JESUS CHRIST. Sounds good but not good.
I’m an atheist but I’m a big fan of the song, studying religions to understand them and have nothing wrong with religion since they’re amazing charitable organizations. I just don’t like it when others push their religious beliefs onto others and are inconsiderate to other beliefs.
As much as I love George Harrison performing this himself, Billy Preston's version brings me to tears! George left us 19 years ago today! He's up there singing with Billy!
I am a Huge fan of George Harrison repeat Huge fan but I must say that Billy Preston's rendition here is the Best Version I have Ever heard. Billy puts so much emotion in his singing it is simply put Phenomenal. So unfortunate that Billy is gone RIP to both George Harrison and Billy Preston. Thank You.
This reminds me of being a 4 Yr old walking home from Glasgow City centre holding my mums hand crossing the canal. 50 odd years come flooding back in that first chord🥰🥰
To see George's son playing along with the Greats, plus the Great Billy Preston, I'm 50 years old, of course a few tears fell, this was beautiful 💪🏿💪🏿💯💯.
@@shatelleperry6881 Billy Preston is one of the most underrated musicians EVER and was never given his due. It's a crime that he wasn't inducted into the Rock and Roll hall of fame until 2020 - 14 years after dying in 2006. He wrote some of the Beatles greatest hits and was considered the 5th Beatle. Even the Beatles ripped him off and never gave him his full recognition. Preston died with a Net worth of $1 million dollars. The follow are the net worth for each Beatles: Paul McCartney: $1.2 BILLION! Yoko Ono (Lennon): $700 Million Olivia Harrison (George): $400 Million Ringo Star: $350 Million Billy Preston: $1 Million There's something seriously wrong with those numbers! SHAMEFUL!
Billy's voice in this performance is the most soft and wonderful voice I've heard in a very long time. George must be sitting up there in heaven crying tears of joy.
@@DaveBallOW Autotune!!!!??? WTF - He's not near that at all. Autotune always give that kind of artificial aftereffect, but Preston doesn't need that. That's obvious!
I AM SO CHOKED LISTENING TO THIS .THERE ARE TEARS RUNNING DOWN MY FACE .ITS SO BEAUTIFUL .BILLY YOU RE THE BEST .GEORGE WOULD HAVE BEEN SO PROUD OF YOU. LOVE AND RESPECT IN THIS MAD WORLD .
Me too..tears in my eyes at 66. We are lucky men to hear this song and many others from all things must pass and concert Bangladesh when we were teenagers
I listen to this song at least once a month for years now. It makes my heart sad to know so many have gone now, but overall it is such an inspiring song. Miss the Beatles...
This version reaches you because you feel that spiritual connection that George had with his beliefs, if it were not for the parts singing the Haré Krishna, it could pass as a religious song
I'm 68 and still have all my Beatles and Geoege Harrison records from youth. Just saw this tribute to George for the 2nd time on PBS...love it so much❤
On my last day, as I transition from a physical existence to the spiritual plane,and I reconcile my life to my Creator, this song, my all time favorite, will accompany me. I'm going to need all the help I can get.
It's no accident you say that.. Scripture says.. The Lord and his name are no different and.. If you hear or say the name of the Lord upon leaving this mortal world you will go back home, back to the spiritual world. Never to return.. Problem solved. Look how happy these people became just by hearing the Lord's name.. Thanks George.
Oh my...Billy Preston...An American treasure and talent that can never be emulated. A monster songwriter, virtuoso musician, fellow Houstonian and magical musical collaborator. From his work with Little Richard, The Beatles to his solo albums...he inspires, uplifts and makes us all want to be better humans...Rest In Peace...Billy...!
It’s true but lit like a lot of victims billy was one himself. Sexualy abused as a child. Who knows what torment these people suffer. It’s like a cycle of abuse. Remember billy for being a great musician. Perhaps his failings were not his fault.
I remember Billy being in the 2nd version of the Sergeant Pepper movie. I really love this song, though. George Harrison and Billy, amazing musicians. I know about Billy and the abuse etc. That's a big batch of imperfect! But it's also a sickness and him being abused is not his fault. People do what they know, even if, logically, they know it's wrong. I read he was honestly remorseful. There are sicknesses that aren't likely to be curbed with any treatment but imprisonment. It's horrible. However, I choose to look at the good he did in his life. He was an amazing musician and with this gift he did good in the world. He made people happy and made others want to be worthy of life. Yes, he did terrible things, but the man is gone from this world. I am not excusing anything he did, but only saying we can look upon the good as a bit of repayment for the pain he caused.
That was an all star tribute. George’s Son looks just like him, Paul, Ringo, and Eric Clapton was great! In the beginning , they used to call Billy the 5th Beetle because with his talent and friendship, he blended right in. Loved the song.
If you don't count Pete,, Actually he's the 5th Beatle. Jeff Lynne 6th. Jeff's better than all of em together. He n Georgie playing banjos is priceless.
Murray the K from WINS in NYC was the first Fifth (not in the band) Beatle. He went on the 1964 US tour and mentioned being the fifth beatle constantly . Not sure if he was the emcee but wouldn't be surprised. First time I ever heard the term.
Billy did the original recording of this a few months before George recorded it. I didn't like Billy's first recording but this one is brilliant only bettered by George's.
Billy was an absolute Beatle. They were like children around him when recording as he was such an accomplished musician when he worked with them all those years ago. God bless him
@Mike G -- There is a reason beyond just the greatness of the song: George actually wrote -- and gave away - "My Sweet Lord" to Billy Preston in 1970, who put out his own much more Gospel style version as a single that year. And yet... Billy, Eric Clapton, Ringo, Gary Wright and others ended up playing on Harrison's release of the song that same year. Meaning Preston was involved from the very beginning. He also worked with the Beatles off and on for years, as well as the Rolling Stones and others. A versatile, much loved artist. So he deserved to enjoy this last tribute to his friend George.
@@blt981 I think so! It's really interesting because that isn't something that **I** have understood from previous recordings and on the album but it's easily read in the lyrics so I don't know why I hadn't noticed!

Coveted by many male associates and asked why Him, take me many have said. HER RESPONSE. “ My Sweet Lord” ! I don’t fully understand her statement, but her continued love she gives me, MAKES ME WEEP FOR JOY…❤️
Billy Preston recorded this song right when George Harrison wrote it and it was not successful, and at the end of his life, he gave voice to this spectacular version. Justice was done!
I'm not a spiritual/religious person, but man, this song moves my heart. It's really beautiful even if it's simple. Also, watching Billy and all the musicians perform it with such passion for George, including the tambourine man (without any intention of mocking him), it's really touching. That's the power of Mr. Harrison, one of the greatest musicians of all time.
@@Wes8761 Definitely, the stage is crowded with music legends giving their soul to the songs. I did not know who he was. Thank you for sharing his name, now I'm aware of his contribution to music.
Wes8761 Really? That’s interesting. Did Ray Cooper play with the Beatles? He’s quite a legend in his own right. Played in the Elton John band for a long time and with lots of other great musicians.
Sad to hear that Billy Preston passed away. He was much more than just a keyboard player. He was a producer, a song writer and an all-round musician. His soulful voice will ring in my head forever. What a singer he was.
Me, too. I am dismayed to know that Billy Preston has died. I enjoyed his musical keyboarding since I became a young adult. As a keyboardist, Billy Preston made music come to life.
year in the ashram we chanted this stuff, changed my life. Hare Krishna. so grateful. this was awesome, the three women... that's what it was like in the ashram... the men and women chanted, alternate verses, just broke your heart open, you wept.

@shame fitzsimons - I'm the same! 51 years old, tears streaming. Why is that? Religious? Me? No. Spiritual maybe? Something in this brings out my love for other humans.
Hey man, don't gotta be religious to believe in god. There is something much greater than us and there are people out there that can show it to us
23 July 2024 my sweet Lord, has and always will be the most beautiful heart felt, spiritual awakening song ever written. I still shed tears of joy whenever I hear this . This should be played on every station everyday because The Sweet Lord only knows this world could use it. May the lord bless George and Billy in the heavens above.
🕊️❤️
Oh my God--so grateful that this came up on my suggestions...I'm stunned at how incredibly good this version is. Every part is covered by this skilled ensemble. The harmony vocals are sublime! I've always loved Billy Preston (and George of course!) this is quite the gift! Always nice to see Dhani there looking just like his Dad playing guitar. You are so right, this should be played on the radio every day because this troubled world needs more of the love and joy this song provides. Amen to that! (wish I'd known about this video during the pandemic...)
I'm not a beliver but Thais song makes me want be!

You're not wrong!

Any believer does not have to wait to be with the Lord. You all be safe and God bless.
I love this era of music far better then the newer stuff.
Jesus is my leader and the pilot of my car.
@@rickfeil7443 Y'all know this song is about the Hindu god Krishna. This isn't about Jesus.
You may not be with the Lord , but he's within us waiting for us to turn to him.
This song is more than emotions.
It was no accident that George inserted the Lord's holy name into this gospel type of song.
Remember even in Christianity the name of the Lord is considered holy.
" Hallowed be thy name"
In the Vedas it is said that the holy name of the Lord is non different to the Lord himself.
That's why people can listen to this song without ever getting bored, and factually everytime you hear the name of the Lord, you are making spiritual advancement, without even knowing it.
This is beyond mundane religion.
Krishna says in the Gita.
" Give up all varieties of religion and Just surrender to me. I will protect you from all sinful reactions do not fear "
Because that is real point of any religion to develop our love for God and go back home, the spiritual world.

Tempi da ricordare!
Finally took the plunge and saw them live last year. They played this and I positively swooned.
An illustration of how powerful a songwriter George Harrison was. He was in a band with the two greatest songwriters in history. George shone very brightly in his solo career. His light will shine on forever.
The light that has lightned the world, my friend...
There ain't no dark 'til something shines, I'm bound to leave this world behind..." - Townes Van Zandt
As The Beatles did their last ever record in the studio, "Abbey Road", Harrison wrote "Something" and "Here Comes The Sun". Both John and Paul gave high praise to their band mate. McCartney said, "George now writes songs that are at least as good as John's and mine". Lennon said "Something" is the best song on the album. They must have realized that as they all got more mature into their mid and late 20s, George was in a bit of a tough spot since John and Paul had been the ones who had written most all their songs from the beginning and were such good song writers.
Harrison was 3 years younger than John and a year and a half younger than Paul. when they started John was 16, Paul was 14 almost 15. George was only 13 at that time. When you are that young, 1 or 2, and especially 3 grades older kinda makes a big difference when you are in your middle school and high school years. That is where the dynamic of the band began.
@@nycinstyle Lennon was a wife-beater and was also criminally overrated, as was his horrendous sounding wife. The truth in the matter is that Harrison never needed The Beatles...
@@davidlindley2754 Harrison I am positive was extremely happy that he was a part of The Beatles, and he would disagree with your comment calling Lennon overrated. Obviously, Harrison didn't need Lennon and McCartney to be a great musician/singer/songwriter, none of them needed each other. All of them duh of course were very happy they were together and members of The Beatles.
The love of my life died from cancer this month and I keep coming back to this song over and over.Thank you Billy and George.
I'm so sorry for your loss. Your partner is with Our Lord now. God Bless💗🙏
So sad for your loss
Sorry for loss.
Sooner or later you'll both be reunited under the grace of God 🙏
I’m so sorry for your loss! The incredible grief you must be feeling.

Your listening to this song in 2024 ?? WOW isn't that just fantastic I didn't think people would be listening to it in 2024 that's just amazing who would of thought hey??
This song reminds me of my mom who passed away last april 2023. I miss her like crazy. I pray for her alway and my nephew. I love them both in heaven
Wow, I'm just coming from the Get Back documentary. Seeing an older Billy Preston playing my favorite Harrison song actually almost brought a tear to my eye. Not to mention also having Clapton and Harrison's son on guitar with Paul and Ringo there too. I can't even describe the emotions that this video made me feel because it took me so much by surprise. Wonderful performance. And wow, Dhani Harrison looks SO much like his father here
Right?! Wiping the tears as I type.
Same ❤️
With you….a beautiful performance. 🙏💛👌
I say: Dhani is George's clone
Me too , awesome
RIP George Harrison (February 25, 1943 - November 29, 2001), aged 58
And
RIP Billy Preston (September 2, 1946 - June 6, 2006), aged 59
You both will be remembered as legends.
Wow I didn't realize Billy was only 59. That's Crazy. May they both be Resting in Paradise
Billy Preston will also be remembered for staging a fire at his home as part of a $1 million insurance fraud scheme.
Billy Preston: I really wanna see you lord, but it takes so long ……
LORD: you didn’t make the cut Billy with all the alcohol, drugs, women. You worshipped the almighty dollar more than you worshipped me so “it’s gonna take a little longer, eternally longer in fact”
All those adoring fools who loved your hypocritical religious devotion to me do NOT match your nefarious deeds.

Ciao bella signora,saluti da Treste,Italia.
Seeing such a beautiful tribute to George's legacy is heartwarming. He indeed left a lasting impact on the music world. 🙏
And Jeff Lynne from ELO on guitar!
I believe I also saw Brian Johnson from AC/DC in there too.
One of the rare instances where a live version is far superior to the original. Billy Preston absolutely nails this, and the backing vocals and instruments were superb. Love it
I have dementia, which amongst other thing makes me very emotional. Tears are streeming down my face as I watch this. What an amazing tribute to a very humble man! RIP George.
I love very much George Harrison for ever.❤
Best wishes to you and all who love you lost mom at 70 years old and music always helped her day
I aint dementiaed yet, and I am crying. It's a great song, a great tribute that involves his son and great artists, and make no mistake about it, it involves Him and His Son, too.

Billy Preston just turned "My Sweet Lord" into a Gospel song. This man had 'the spirit' flowing through him as he sang. ❤
My sweet lord thanksgiving 🙏🙏🙏🙏
No, he did not !
The LORD JESUS CHRIST is not Hare Krishna.... and all the other false gods!
Listen to the backing singers .... what are saying, Hare Rana, Hare Krishna, Guru Vishnu, guru devo, parabahma, guru nahama etc. These are all names of false gods.
Cannot and will never be The Gospel... the Gospel is about the LORD JESUS CHRIST. Sounds good but not good.
@@pantonpam8024 damn, you misunderstood what's the comment about. also let people believe what they want to believe.
I’m an atheist but I’m a big fan of the song, studying religions to understand them and have nothing wrong with religion since they’re amazing charitable organizations. I just don’t like it when others push their religious beliefs onto others and are inconsiderate to other beliefs.
hare krishna!
What a lovely human being he was im 72 now i wish i could have met them
As much as I love George Harrison performing this himself, Billy Preston's version brings me to tears! George left us 19 years ago today! He's up there singing with Billy!

Beautiful and so precious to see George's son playing.
He was only going to play on a couple of tracks but Eric Clapton talked him into playing on nearly every one .
Billy Preston nailed this, this is absolutely a worship song
He nailed it for sure my friend

No disrespect to George, but Billy Preston's voice reaches right into my soul like a voice from heaven...
I bet George would agree with you!

@@shatelleperry6881 Billy Preston is one of the most underrated musicians EVER and was never given his due. It's a crime that he wasn't inducted into the Rock and Roll hall of fame until 2020 - 14 years after dying in 2006. He wrote some of the Beatles greatest hits and was considered the 5th Beatle. Even the Beatles ripped him off and never gave him his full recognition. Preston died with a Net worth of $1 million dollars. The follow are the net worth for each Beatles:
Paul McCartney: $1.2 BILLION!
Yoko Ono (Lennon): $700 Million
Olivia Harrison (George): $400 Million
Ringo Star: $350 Million
Billy Preston: $1 Million
There's something seriously wrong with those numbers! SHAMEFUL!
What a beautiful tribute to George Harrison. I have the album, "All Things Must Pass!" Brings back good memories. Merry Christmas to All..🙏🙏
In today's troubled world this song needs to be played LOUD & PROUD several times per day WORLD WIDE...PRAISE JESUS..!
It's bigger than Jesus. Better add Vishnu.
@@lisakaz35 Pretty much everyone but Jesus in this song

When you watch the Get Back docs you realize just how key Billy Preston was to bringing that session together. He was the glue. So great
His nickname was the 5th Beetle for a reason. 🤗

True!
Always had a smile on his face.

A lot of awesome talent in this video!!!

I listen to this song at least once a month for years now. It makes my heart sad to know so many have gone now, but overall it is such an inspiring song. Miss the Beatles...
Me tooooo

This version reaches you because you feel that spiritual connection that George had with his beliefs, if it were not for the parts singing the Haré Krishna, it could pass as a religious song
I’m rocking Mama at 65 dancing to this song of Peace and Love ❤
I'm 68 and still have all my Beatles and Geoege Harrison records from youth. Just saw this tribute to George for the 2nd time on PBS...love it so much❤
On my last day, as I transition from a physical existence to the spiritual plane,and I reconcile my life to my Creator, this song, my all time favorite, will accompany me. I'm going to need all the help I can get.
Yes brother, I feel the same way only I've just discovered the song. Probably heard it before but didn't resonate like it does now. Im almost 45.
It's no accident you say that..
Scripture says..
The Lord and his name are no different and..
If you hear or say the name of the Lord upon leaving this mortal world you will go back home, back to the spiritual world.
Never to return..
Problem solved.
Look how happy these people became just by hearing the Lord's name..
Thanks George.

Billy is iconic. His contribution to the Beatles is severely underrated. He is one of the greats
@@midnightowl401 really?
Ricardo Hernandez whaaaat
It’s true but lit like a lot of victims billy was one himself. Sexualy abused as a child. Who knows what torment these people suffer. It’s like a cycle of abuse. Remember billy for being a great musician. Perhaps his failings were not his fault.
I remember Billy being in the 2nd version of the Sergeant Pepper movie. I really love this song, though. George Harrison and Billy, amazing musicians. I know about Billy and the abuse etc. That's a big batch of imperfect! But it's also a sickness and him being abused is not his fault. People do what they know, even if, logically, they know it's wrong. I read he was honestly remorseful. There are sicknesses that aren't likely to be curbed with any treatment but imprisonment. It's horrible. However, I choose to look at the good he did in his life. He was an amazing musician and with this gift he did good in the world. He made people happy and made others want to be worthy of life. Yes, he did terrible things, but the man is gone from this world. I am not excusing anything he did, but only saying we can look upon the good as a bit of repayment for the pain he caused.
@@awarenessvillage yes best to forgive if possible
I love this version- Billy Preston was feeling it
That was an all star tribute. George’s Son looks just like him, Paul, Ringo, and Eric Clapton was great! In the beginning , they used to call Billy the 5th Beetle because with his talent and friendship, he blended right in. Loved the song.
Jeff Lynne !
I loved the way Ravi Shankar called Dhani his grandson... So special
thought they called George Martin the 5th Beatle.. Billy Preston is the 6th Beatle then
If you don't count Pete,, Actually he's the 5th Beatle. Jeff Lynne 6th.
Jeff's better than all of em together. He n Georgie playing banjos is priceless.
Murray the K from WINS in NYC was the first Fifth (not in the band) Beatle. He went on the 1964 US tour and mentioned being the fifth beatle constantly . Not sure if he was the emcee but wouldn't be surprised. First time I ever heard the term.
I've never heard Billy Preston singing. I am impressed by his vocals.
Same here.
And his best and classic and epic 'I wrote a simple song"
Billy did the original recording of this a few months before George recorded it. I didn't like Billy's first recording but this one is brilliant only bettered by George's.
Check out the Beatles get back.
He died in 2006, when was this concert?
Billy Preston wasn't just going through the motions... he really enjoyed singing that. Great version!
Yes indeed!!! I'm speechless. The tears are flowing
THE BEST TO BEST,O FIVE BEATLE
Yes Mike....he is singing this from his heart... nkt just a song but about the lord... and very very sweet and the lord
Billy was an absolute Beatle. They were like children around him when recording as he was such an accomplished musician when he worked with them all those years ago. God bless him
@Mike G -- There is a reason beyond just the greatness of the song: George actually wrote -- and gave away - "My Sweet Lord" to Billy Preston in 1970, who put out his own much more Gospel style version as a single that year. And yet... Billy, Eric Clapton, Ringo, Gary Wright and others ended up playing on Harrison's release of the song that same year.
Meaning Preston was involved from the very beginning. He also worked with the Beatles off and on for years, as well as the Rolling Stones and others. A versatile, much loved artist. So he deserved to enjoy this last tribute to his friend George.
“I’ve forgotten Billy Preston!” (Harrison, G. Concert for Bangladesh, 01-08-1971)
Can you imagine what it would feel like to be present when this heavenly thing was unfolding?! My Sweet Lord!
Sorry if I seem dumb . But is Mr Preston singing that it takes too long to see the Lord until we Die?
@@blt981 I think so! It's really interesting because that isn't something that **I** have understood from previous recordings and on the album but it's easily read in the lyrics so I don't know why I hadn't noticed!

I'm not crying; you're crying.
There are underrated comments and then there are underrated comments!

I'm not a spiritual/religious person, but man, this song moves my heart. It's really beautiful even if it's simple. Also, watching Billy and all the musicians perform it with such passion for George, including the tambourine man (without any intention of mocking him), it's really touching.
That's the power of Mr. Harrison, one of the greatest musicians of all time.
The tambo man is Ray Cooper. He was important to beatles history and a friend of george
Even the people with insignificant instruments are legends. its insane how many legends they had at this concert
@@Wes8761
Definitely, the stage is crowded with music legends giving their soul to the songs. I did not know who he was. Thank you for sharing his name, now I'm aware of his contribution to music.
Wes8761 Really? That’s interesting. Did Ray Cooper play with the Beatles? He’s quite a legend in his own right. Played in the Elton John band for a long time and with lots of other great musicians.
You ,just did not stumbled upon this video !!
Billy was often the 5th Beatle. A great tribute to George. Thank you
Sad to hear that Billy Preston passed away. He was much more than just a keyboard player. He was a producer, a song writer and an all-round musician. His soulful voice will ring in my head forever. What a singer he was.
He was also known as the 5th Beatle.
what a talent - Billy Preston, they broke the mold with him.
Oh ,an, that’s so sad. Didn’t know. Was he sick?
the 5th Beatles and the 6th Rolling Stones. RIP
Me, too. I am dismayed to know that Billy Preston has died. I enjoyed his musical keyboarding since I became a young adult. As a keyboardist, Billy Preston made music come to life.

And he sang it well because he’s a believer
Loved Billy, so sad that he’s gone. Hope he’s found peace.
Brilliant.
I love his version, but prefer the slightly more understated original.
God Bless anyone watching this!
