I was lucky enough to be able to enjoy ( still is ) George Harrison's ( The Beatles ) amazing music when I was growing up in the 60's and 70's. Such a talented singer/songwriter and well known guitarist. Happy 81st birthday in Heaven George. You are sadly missed!
George couldn't bear or waste himself on stupidity and adulation, considering those "qualities" as the worst of people attitudes. That is why his quietness was misinterpreted as weakness or unconsciousness. Whenever George decided to talk his speech was rather sharp, to the point and distinguished by an intelligent and witty sense of humor. Both George and John were the two revolutionary subversives Beatles. Just recall his "classy" social commentary masterpiece : "Piggies" ..... Love you George, still miss you and John!
I miss my George Harrison he was so handsome he has such beautiful brown eyes and that smile of his can melt your heart love and miss you sweet Georgie happy 75 birthday
Strange how both George and John were attacked. Unfortunately, John didn't survive. The very thing that haunted George came to fruition. I still miss them both terribly.
The smart one ...with least ego! He didn't need the adulation because he knew his own worth and he knew those with their adulation didn't know anything more than an 'image' of him... that adulation was not from ppl who TRULY knew him... a humble private man... amen!
I'm learning a lot about George Harrison in this documentary right on George Harrison I still love you and also George has a marvelous voice and personality
Didn't clown around, what George Harrison are they talking about, not the Beatle that's for sure, George had a great sense of humour, great with a one liner.
I agree with you too. That always seems to have been the myth about George Harrison -- that he was grim and humourless. "Chronically bitter" is how Philip Norman described him in the book "Shout". But all you have to do is watch film clips of George to see he had a droll sense of humour and had that classic Liverpool wit, just like the other three.
I saw the Beatles in Montreal '64.......I beleive George sang the last song [ no encores in '64 ] Roll over Beethoven and was the last to leave the stage and, he waved.That wave is still in my mind.
In 1965 George introduced Paul McCartney on television during a Beatles performance and mentioned sarcastically about how "opportunity knocks" as Paul stepped up to the mic and sang Yesterday. Though George was in the biggest band in world it was not yet his time. Fast forward to August 1969 and the release of The Beatles Abbey Road album and there are 2 Harrison compositions. Here Comes The Sun and Something, both songs up to the same standards as the best Lennon/McCartney songs and finally it was his moment to shine. Harrisons talent, his humour and his wisdom will be missed. From 1965 on when you look at Harrison's pictures there was always a knowing look in his eyes when he looked at the camera as if he knew something that we were not a part of. He was a world weary man by the time he was 22 or 23 or 25.
George Sadness? Here Comes the Sun is one of the happiest most positive songs every written. I think he just a contemplative man which can perhaps be misinterpreted as sadness.
I have a sense of connection to George more than the other 3 Beatles. A love of guitars is certainly part of it, love of simple things like grass, flowers, trees, the beauty that surrounds us, and i am a sucker for a good melody. George's main contribution to the Beatles i think was his melodic sense. He isn't given enough credit for that. Just look at the songs on All Things Must Pass....it is a masterpiece plain and simple. Like Paul said, " The world will miss him." And we do.
@@ClassicRock1973 No, Lennon was still playing guitar with 4 strings until GH taught him he was wrong and taught him the right way....learn your facts stupid
He came up with the brilliant lick in Help, which put that song out of reach for the competition; he gave And I Love Her its repeating motive, and A hard Day´s Night the wonderful ending; Nowhere Man would lack the most uplifting part without his Strat lines; and so on. He was the Beatles´ Brian Jones, responsible for the songs´ sonic flavor and tone colour, also adding a bit of world music. In the end, he not only equalled John and Paul as a songwriter: He wrote the two classics on their last album. He gave his soul to the Beatles, and I am very, very grateful for that.
George wrote a lot of beautiful songs but one of my favourites songs though not written was and is "I am so happy to dance with you" from the movie "A Hard Days' Night". RIP George wherever you are. Love & peace from Malaysia.
All four showed what Liverpool cool was and why it was the best, and literally the whole world agreed. George with the others invented the Beatle personality - cheeky, mocking and irreverant, but playful and full of good intentions. It wasn't just the music...
Georges contribution to the Beatles sound he was massively underrated how he learned his guitar skills while he was still a teenager is beyond me no You Tube then Lennon and McCartney were very fortunate to have such a talent to enhance their songs. As he said himself he was happy to let the two egos out the front get the glory You can see his musical influences in all the flats sharps and minors he gave their songs a twist that is hard to come by in modern songs Just the chord progressions alone in "While my guitar gently weeps" is brilliant as is Something He took the band in a different direction and brought Ringo in and the Beatles sound was complete Ringo played the song with his style of drumming and was another under rated part of the band As Ringo said "The Beatles asked me to join the band" Funny thing is now Georges song "Here comes the Sun is the most downloaded Beatles song on Spotify he had the last laugh And I loved his Rock n Roll cover like Roll over Beethoven his lead break is brilliant Well done George all good Irish stock of course The Lennon's came from County Leitrim the McCartney's from Cork and Monaghan and the Harrison's from Wexford all driven out by the mass genocide by the English in the 1800 s when millions of Irish people were starved to death, and hundreds of thousands sold as slaves or transported to places like Australia. Many more were to die on the coffin ships to america trying to escape the genocide in Ireland Many Irish went to Liverpool to get the boats to America but got stuck in Liverpool and its way its known as the Capital of Ireland Elvis Presley's family were also driven out in 1775 from County Carlow they managed to get the boat to America Lennon was very proud of his Irishness and was an admirer of James Connolly who was executed by the English in 1916 Harrison made many trips to Ireland to visit his mothers family Yes folks the Irish invented Rock and Roll even Ringo had a bit of Irish blood in him I think from Galway
George was very talented. I loved his songs from the first album,' Don't Bother Me and I recognized his voice on all his songs. He will be in my heart forever. ❤️🌹❤️
George Had A Mask‼️Facade He was an Awesome Musician Lead Guitar Player He had a Wicked Sense of Humor Good on You You Accomplished what You Set Out To Do 💟💟💟💟🌟🌟🌟🌟🎸🎸🎸
George Harrison was and still is my favorite Beatle. He was funny, we would see him walking around in Encinitas on the coast a little way from a Temple. I believe it is a Indian Temple, we never bothered him though, he deserved to walk around do what he wanted like everyone else. I have so many good memories to the Beatles songs. Rest In Peace George Harrison and John Lennon, thanks for the memories...
I ABSOLUTELY LOVED THIS MAN ❤💖 STILL DO. I F I COULD GO BETWEEN WORLDS,I'D GO VISIT THE OTHER SIDE,ODDS ARE- YOU PROBABLY WOULD NEVER COME BACK AGAIN. ✌😃💖💋💋
1. that U2 guy doesn't even know that the concert for Bangladesh was for the refugees who fled Bangladesh, because there was a war of independence going on in 1971. not for flood. 2. music is beautiful, but when it is used for a noble cause, its devine. I will always love George Harrison for Concert for Bangladesh.
“Something in the way”? If you’re gonna do a piece on Harrison, the least you could do is know the correct title of one of his greatest songs: “Something”.
I believe she added 'in the way' for context. Just saying 'Something' alone might have been a bit abstract and have thrown Bono, who was obviously, and understandably, working on thinking deep for his responses. The one about the melancholy of the Irish - and many in Liverpool being descendant of the Irish - was insightful. Over all, I felt that interviewer was the most savvy and articulate of them all.
It's not only frank Sinatra who covered Something, even Elvis Presley covered something too...and it says a lot about how important and beautiful this song is in the history ❤️
George was a great guitarist. I am not saying there was no other great players as there was and is. . But there is no other guitarist who has recorded so many memorable solos.. For me, I wish he had released three albums instead of the triple All Things Must Pass. It had a lot of the songs he wrote while in the Beatles. I feel George needed the competivness of John and Paul to create his best stuff. Look at Abbey Road. His writing there is now on a par with John and Paul. The further time past, his songs were a little less as good. (but still good if you know what I mean).. However he picked up big time when he was with the Travelling Willberrys. I am sure he was a great guy in private.
"Paul, a year and a half older than George" ? George said laughing in an interview, "Paul often said he was a year and a half older than l, but he was just HALF A YEAR older than I...EVEN NOW."
Allison Payne , George was very sexy and handsome. I love all his hairstyles. He had beautiful big brown eyes and great hair. Gorgeous George was very handsome. A beautiful talented man. Rest In Peace, George. You are truly missed and you will be in my heart forever. 💋❤️🌹❤️💋
George was a beautiful, brilliant Human being. This video missed the mark though. Yes, he was a quiet, thoughtful, soft-spoken shy Man, whose love and faith was deeply engrained He was genuine, grounded, and pragmatic, but never sad or morose. There are so many clips, videos and anecdotes that illustrate his incredible wit, warmth and wacky sense of humour. If he hadn’t been such an amazingly talented musician and composer, I bet he could have been a first rate comic. They repeated Paul’s statement, Why didn’t they get a reaction from George’s other friend/bandmate Richard(Ringo Starr) Starky? Was he too distraught to comment?
Yes George you know to me didn't get the credit man something? Man o man was the love song that made me play the ....dam is it smokey in hear? As tears of when you're hit by Cupid s. Love found and Love Lost i won't bs.you he's a role model his best buddy ended up crawling cross the floor for his x wife patty boyd derek and domino s sounded to me like every song was a patty boyd heart 💔 broken great song he and George stayed mates George wrote awesome songs man many many never-ending great tuens lads and soso true he's the first to do a give back helping save lives before live aid so heay don't forget or discredit George Harrison man ilove Tom Petty his speach into rock and roll hall of fame he shud of bin thear long ago when he was alive but that's a hole 2set longass story his music me ol lads and lassys lives on
Thanks for clarifying this. That lady sitting right next to George didn't strike me as Patty at the very first look and I thought that something wrong with my perception. :)
I think his best work was when he started the wilburys. hell,just to get jeff , bob ,tom and roy together was something of a miracle. even though they only did two albums you could tell his inner soul had found the peace he searched for but could not attain as a beatle and was having the time of his life. seeing him happy made me happy. r.i.p. george
Just saw this for the first time, chasing the tears away. A light was taken away from the world. Yes, his music an message will live forever. Been a fan since May 63 @ those four have been one of the biggest influences in my life. 😥
Wow...I love both the Beatles and U2 and I thought maybe they liked each other. I was in Norway last winter looking toward east toward Britain knowing someone years ago looked toward my home in Memphis.Wow....music!!!
In one interview, George explains that "Something" had the lyrics of "Something in the way He moves" , stating that the song was written in glorification of Lord Krishna, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, but that had he written "He" then people would have thought he was a "Poof" or a gay person. That is the hidden and inner meaning of the song that not everyone knows. Many of George's songs were inspired by his spiritual master, A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, the founder of ISKCON, the International Society for Krishna consciousness.
George really admired Pete Ham, the lead guy of the band Badfinger. Pete couldn't believe it. He'd always looked up to George and never could believe George would think his writing abilities and songs were any good. Badfinger was a band out of South Wales. They were called the Iveys. One song of theirs caught Paul McCartney's attention and he had them come to Apple Studios and they were the very first band to have been signed up to Apple Records. Paul had written a song for a movie called "Badfinger Boogie" and thought Badfinger would be a better name and they agreed so the name stuck. Then George liked Pete's talent so much that he produced and also played a tad bit of guitar with Pete when they recorded "Day After Day"...one of my personal favorites. George also asked Badfinger to be a part of his backup band for the Concert for Bangladesh. Pete couldn't believe he was on stage playing with someone he'd admired but Pete never knew how much George admired him. I think their personalities meshed well together. Pete was a very sweet and sensitive guy who just loved music and making people happy. For those of you who know the terrible story of Badfinger and what happened I know you get it. For those who don't you can look it up. I grew up with the 60's and 70's music and glad I did. So much fantastic music came from that era in all genres. I stuck mainly to rock, soft rock, folk, easy listening ballads, prog rock, some country, classical, old Motown, some hard rock tunes but nothing towards the dark side and pop tunes.
George was spiritual......very important to the REAL people of the 60s....not poseurs...we meant ,he meant,every word he sang spoke,thought and made us believe what in our hearts we knew and know.
What kind of bs special is this??? They completely avoid touching on his spirituality and relationship with God which is what made him such a magnetic soul.
Jeff Lynne (ELO) or Ringo, even Eric Clapton were very close friends of George and would be much better choices. Sadly Jeff is the only Traveling Wilbury member they did not mention in this documentary. They did not know George very well and this doc is so-so.
Beautiful man in so many ways, when he passed I was so wrapped up in other bands, but as I've got older i realise he really was someone so special. RIP George 🎸❤
I would like to remember him the most in the last picture of him with that beautiful long hair and to remember his cool east Indian songs, there so different and I still like them!
Vikrant Saha he referred to Eric as his "husband-n-law" I always found that so opened minded as a teenager, I couldn't understand how you could still be friends with someone who fell in love with and then married your wife. And now I'm in my mid fifty's and in a very similar situation.
He's such a character, George. ....!!! LOL.💗 Always gettin' the boot in...luv being a jokster , he did !!! Fooled a lot of people with that one ...laughing the whole time !!! CHEEKY. ..LOL.💗
Georges guitar playing evolved and he was quite good. His solo slide guitar work was fantastic. the Beatles didnt concentrate on indulging in long solos. They played what fit the song they were recording.
Yes: I think that George had "solos" very much important and well playing than the rest of the members of the group: Now I'm thinking, for example, in the old "All my lovin'"...
He did little slide work with the Beatles except maybe on a song or two of his own but he did on his own stuff and even the Wilbury's really great guitar player highly underrated.
His input made a lot of the songs work, like And I Love Her. Even Paul admits that the opening lick completed the song. His guitar parts are neglected. That’s where he shined.
I always tought Ringo was the sad one sulking a bit and about....it was only George's guitar that was the sad one weeping all the time because it couldn't play its stuff only had to play what the boss was thinking....George was for sure the quite one that fits....either way he will be missed sadly missed.
All reasons why the Beatles are so loved still...there will never be another 4 like them...ever...we are All so grateful..
George Harrison was truly FAB. He was ahead of the time and beyond any other artists. GOD had more use for George, in HEAVEN, then on Earth 🌎.
My favorite Beatle!💜
It was often said, correctly I think, that George did not say much, but when he did, it was something worth listening to.
He was one of a kind! Will be missed
I was lucky enough to be able to enjoy ( still is ) George Harrison's ( The Beatles ) amazing music when I was growing up in the 60's and 70's. Such a talented singer/songwriter and well known guitarist. Happy 81st birthday in Heaven George. You are sadly missed!
Miss you George
George was my favorite.
He was my favorite Beatle too ❤️
@@marjanp4784
George Harrison IS my favorite Beatle.
There would be no Beatles without George.
George couldn't bear or waste himself on stupidity and adulation, considering those "qualities" as the worst of people attitudes. That is why his quietness was misinterpreted as weakness or unconsciousness.

Lester said he was the best actor of them, too.
...why wasn't Ringo on here? He had a great ending statement about his dear friend
Still miss George and probably always will. RIP George wherever you are.
Rest in peace my darling George while your guitar gently weeps...😭❤️
George was slways my favorite, then John, and Ringo
👏👏👏I really like you. You didn't mention the "P" word. 👏👏👏
I miss my George Harrison he was so handsome he has such beautiful brown eyes and that smile of his can melt your heart love and miss you sweet Georgie happy 75 birthday
Like the others, George was a marvelous songwriter and singer definitely. My respects for him.
Isn't it nice that John Paul George and Ringo's fans know a lot more about them than the news.
Good comment
Indeed - they got some stuff wrong in this clip for sure, but still fun
There was something in the way with who ever it was. There's nothing in the way way with John Paul Jones...sorry George.
Strange how both George and John were attacked. Unfortunately, John didn't survive. The very thing that haunted George came to fruition. I still miss them both terribly.
The smart one ...with least ego! He didn't need the adulation because he knew his own worth and he knew those with their adulation didn't know anything more than an 'image' of him... that adulation was not from ppl who TRULY knew him... a humble private man... amen!
I'm learning a lot about George Harrison in this documentary right on George Harrison I still love you and also George has a marvelous voice and personality
George didn't like U2, now I like him even more. George was always the cool one.
He didn't like Jim Moore either dumb ass.
U2 is fantastic...why didnt he like them?
@@williambagley5415 Where do I begin?
@@dins5066 Who the fuck is Jim Moore?
U2 is horrendous. I don't see what fuss is about.

George had impeccable timing....it all ways.
It’s a good thing we knew him and are not dependent on this dribble. Beloved George.
Yes, no sense of humor.
TizerMiser I'm reminded of someone asking him, what he calls his haircut. He said. Arthur! Lol
I saw the Beatles in Montreal '64.......I beleive George sang the last song [ no encores in '64 ] Roll over Beethoven and was the last to leave the stage and, he waved.That wave is still in my mind.

True true very true
Yes
Within You without You the song by Ringo Starr that he wrote about George Harrison on Ringo's ring o Rama album!
George was correct about the Beatles safety John Lennon and George Harrison was assassinated by crazy people!
Poor George Harrison wrote that song something about his wife then she started cheating with Eric Clapton! Eric Clapton got her on heroin and alcohol!
And after all these years,my heart still
Gently weeps. We love you George
Peace from Texas

George was every bit as good as Clapton. They did sound alike. Very tasty licks. George just didn't do extended solos like Eric.
dill mann Howard Johnson is right
@@johnnylightning1967 Lol!
Hardly anyone knew about Bangladesh until George held the concert.
Hmmmmmmmmm
That's not really very true, is it!
George was one of the funniest Beatles!
George Harrison is magnificent and and very good the man who truly has the right to be named MAGIC .😎👍😎👍👏👏
A great man. And a great musician 4ever.
George Harrison‼️

Yes, we all know all things must pass, but George''s music will never pass, as long as pop music exists.

I miss George every day
George had a killer wit. He kept it sheathed, and then ... boom! My favorite Fab.
George wrote a lot of beautiful songs but one of my favourites songs though not written was and is "I am so happy to dance with you" from the movie "A Hard Days' Night". RIP George wherever you are. Love & peace from Malaysia.
One of my favorite songs that he wrote was Taxman. Right to the point. My parents even loved that song.
All four showed what Liverpool cool was and why it was the best, and literally the whole world agreed. George with the others invented the Beatle personality - cheeky, mocking and irreverant, but playful and full of good intentions. It wasn't just the music...
It's crazy how many people don't know he was almost assassinated and had to get part of his lung removed
Most people do know it, well documented, he didn’t get part of his lung removed. Stay safe man.
George you will never be forgotten rip I miss you badly
I met these guys, individually, sometimes 2 together, and more than once. George was no doubt the funniest Beatle.
Yes George had the heart of the Beatles. He naturally strong deep and most talented love to remember his smile
Thay are eternal. Beatles forever young. George forever loved
"What would you call that hairstyle you're wearing?" "Arthur." LOL!!!!
He named it after his frnd Arthur Kelly...
They even named a film after that hairstyle, but it wasn't handmade.
Georges contribution to the Beatles sound he was massively underrated how he learned his guitar skills while he was still a teenager is beyond me no You Tube then
Lennon and McCartney were very fortunate to have such a talent to enhance their songs.
As he said himself he was happy to let the two egos out the front get the glory
You can see his musical influences in all the flats sharps and minors he gave their songs a twist that is hard to come by in modern songs
Just the chord progressions alone in "While my guitar gently weeps" is brilliant as is Something
He took the band in a different direction and brought Ringo in and the Beatles sound was complete
Ringo played the song with his style of drumming and was another under rated part of the band As Ringo said "The Beatles asked me to join the band"
Funny thing is now Georges song "Here comes the Sun is the most downloaded Beatles song on Spotify he had the last laugh
And I loved his Rock n Roll cover like Roll over Beethoven his lead break is brilliant
Well done George all good Irish stock of course
The Lennon's came from County Leitrim the McCartney's from Cork and Monaghan and the Harrison's from Wexford all driven out by the mass genocide by the English in the 1800 s when millions of Irish people were starved to death, and hundreds of thousands sold as slaves or transported to places like Australia. Many more were to die on the coffin ships to america trying to escape the genocide in Ireland
Many Irish went to Liverpool to get the boats to America but got stuck in Liverpool and its way its known as the Capital of Ireland
Elvis Presley's family were also driven out in 1775 from County Carlow they managed to get the boat to America
Lennon was very proud of his Irishness and was an admirer of James Connolly who was executed by the English in 1916
Harrison made many trips to Ireland to visit his mothers family
Yes folks the Irish invented Rock and Roll even Ringo had a bit of Irish blood in him I think from Galway
Still miss hearing his voice ~ Happy heavenly 75th George!

“Something in the way”? If you’re gonna do a piece on Harrison, the least you could do is know the correct title of one of his greatest songs: “Something”.
That may have been how Sinatra referred to the song when he covered it.
Sinatra thought John and Paul wrote "Something".
Yes. Something
The worlds greatest love song
Just a typical plastic reporter. No idea who Harrison is; and barely knows who the Beatles are..
I believe she added 'in the way' for context. Just saying 'Something' alone might have been a bit abstract and have thrown Bono, who was obviously, and understandably, working on thinking deep for his responses.

He was the greatest looking man I've ever seen. Personally.
George was a beautiful, brilliant Human being. This video missed the mark though. Yes, he was a quiet, thoughtful, soft-spoken shy Man, whose love and faith was deeply engrained He was genuine, grounded, and pragmatic, but never sad or morose. There are so many clips, videos and anecdotes that illustrate his incredible wit, warmth and wacky sense of humour. If he hadn’t been such an amazingly talented musician and composer, I bet he could have been a first rate comic.
They repeated Paul’s statement, Why didn’t they get a reaction from George’s other friend/bandmate Richard(Ringo Starr) Starky? Was he too distraught to comment?
Bonos comments here were honest, intelligent and extremely perceptive. I've got a new respect for the man.

I think his best work was when he started the wilburys. hell,just to get jeff , bob ,tom and roy together was something of a miracle. even though they only did two albums you could tell his inner soul had found the peace he searched for but could not attain as a beatle and was having the time of his life. seeing him happy made me happy. r.i.p. george
Just saw this for the first time, chasing the tears away. A light was taken away from the world. Yes, his music an message will live forever. Been a fan since May 63 @ those four have been one of the biggest influences in my life. 😥
Wow...I love both the Beatles and U2 and I thought maybe they liked each other. I was in Norway last winter looking toward east toward Britain knowing someone years ago looked toward my home in Memphis.Wow....music!!!
Sorry....looking west toward Britian and Ireland!!!
In one interview, George explains that "Something" had the lyrics of "Something in the way He moves" , stating that the song was written in glorification of Lord Krishna, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, but that had he written "He" then people would have thought he was a "Poof" or a gay person. That is the hidden and inner meaning of the song that not everyone knows. Many of George's songs were inspired by his spiritual master, A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, the founder of ISKCON, the International Society for Krishna consciousness.
A bit of a pity only one mention of Olivia and Dhani who were so important to George

George really admired Pete Ham, the lead guy of the band Badfinger. Pete couldn't believe it. He'd always looked up to George and never could believe George would think his writing abilities and songs were any good. Badfinger was a band out of South Wales. They were called the Iveys. One song of theirs caught Paul McCartney's attention and he had them come to Apple Studios and they were the very first band to have been signed up to Apple Records. Paul had written a song for a movie called "Badfinger Boogie" and thought Badfinger would be a better name and they agreed so the name stuck. Then George liked Pete's talent so much that he produced and also played a tad bit of guitar with Pete when they recorded "Day After Day"...one of my personal favorites. George also asked Badfinger to be a part of his backup band for the Concert for Bangladesh. Pete couldn't believe he was on stage playing with someone he'd admired but Pete never knew how much George admired him. I think their personalities meshed well together. Pete was a very sweet and sensitive guy who just loved music and making people happy. For those of you who know the terrible story of Badfinger and what happened I know you get it. For those who don't you can look it up. I grew up with the 60's and 70's music and glad I did. So much fantastic music came from that era in all genres. I stuck mainly to rock, soft rock, folk, easy listening ballads, prog rock, some country, classical, old Motown, some hard rock tunes but nothing towards the dark side and pop tunes.
Paul and George met at the Liverpool Institute where they were in the same form together with my Dad's brother.
They were in different years. They met on the bus
George was hilarious and a great Prophet
George was spiritual......very important to the REAL people of the 60s....not poseurs...we meant ,he meant,every word he sang spoke,thought and made us believe what in our hearts we knew and know.
What kind of bs special is this??? They completely avoid touching on his spirituality and relationship with God which is what made him such a magnetic soul.
Thanks for saving my time. I like his spiritually side more. Gonna skip this video.
They should've done a more long-form interview with Paul, he would've described George more accurately than the news did.
Jeff Lynne (ELO) or Ringo, even Eric Clapton were very close friends of George and would be much better choices. Sadly Jeff is the only Traveling Wilbury member they did not mention in this documentary. They did not know George very well and this doc is so-so.
So good to hear 😊😊😸
RIP sir Harrison!
Beautiful man in so many ways, when he passed I was so wrapped up in other bands, but as I've got older i realise he really was someone so special. RIP George 🎸❤
Let it down... beautiful song 💓
I would like to remember him the most in the last picture of him with that beautiful long hair and to remember his cool east Indian songs, there so different and I still like them!
Love you George
No mention of Ravi Shankar and hardly a mention of Eric Clapton, not to forget Olivia and Dhani Harrison.
Vikrant Saha he referred to Eric as his "husband-n-law" I always found that so opened minded as a teenager, I couldn't understand how you could still be friends with someone who fell in love with and then married your wife. And now I'm in my mid fifty's and in a very similar situation.
Kevin Gee 😆
I'd like to forget Olivia.
Also most handsome 😄❤
He's such a character, George. ....!!! LOL.💗 Always gettin' the boot in...luv being a jokster , he did !!! Fooled a lot of people with that one ...laughing the whole time !!! CHEEKY. ..LOL.💗
RIP big man
George is right about all things must pass any he is very religious and wasn't afraid of death R.I.P.
breaks my heart,..,.....the deaths of the beatles......
l always appreciate a narrator who talks as if her audience are all just eight years old as l'm not very bright.
Georges guitar playing evolved and he was quite good. His solo slide guitar work was fantastic. the Beatles didnt concentrate on indulging in long solos. They played what fit the song they were recording.
Yes: I think that George had "solos" very much important and well playing than the rest of the members of the group: Now I'm thinking, for example, in the old "All my lovin'"...
He did little slide work with the Beatles except maybe on a song or two of his own but he did on his own stuff and even the Wilbury's really great guitar player highly underrated.
His input made a lot of the songs work, like And I Love Her. Even Paul admits that the opening lick completed the song. His guitar parts are neglected. That’s where he shined.
George Harrison was not truly The Quiet Beatle. He had much of of importance to say.
George was a genius as were John,Paul and Ringo.
Real tears
Mi amor George Harrison 🤗🙏🏻📿🌿
I always tought Ringo was the sad one sulking a bit and about....it was only George's guitar that was the sad one weeping all the time because it couldn't play its stuff only had to play what the boss was thinking....George was for sure the quite one that fits....either way he will be missed sadly missed.
the biggest thing that the Beatles brought to the table was a band that wrote its own music
