Yes, that was Eric Clapton on guitar up front. This was a tribute concert for George Harrison after he passed. There were many, many tremendous artists who took part in this concert. You will see a young man playing guitar who looks like George Harrison near Clapton. That is George Harrison's son. I have this whole concert on DVD and it is great.
They did a pretty good job of spotting the musicians except for one, Jeff Lynn of ELO. There is one cover of a Beatles song that actually improved over the original. That would be Aerosmith, Come Together.
This was at The Concert for George that took place after George Harrison's passing. The young man playing acoustic guitar on stage is Dhani Harrison, George's son. Dhani is 44 years old now.
Paul mentions at the end that Dhani’s mother says looking at Dhani is like George never got old & everyone else has. There were so many great songs during the tribute.
Not only Eric Clapton, but Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr, Tom Petty, Jeff Lynne, and many others are there with Billy Preston. A memorial for George! Beautiful stuff! ♥♥ Edit: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concert_for_George
You should really watch "While My Guitar Gently Weaps" from the Grammy's featuring Prince. His solo is incredible. I know you've already reacted to the studio version of that song, but Prince's solo is a MUST SEE. It was another tribute to George Harrison.
This is absolutely, stunningly true. In that video you'll also see other familiar faces, including the young man you noticed in this video: his son, Dhani.
ROB SQUAD I'M SITTING HERE WITH A TEAR IN MY EYE BECAUSE THIS IS A BEAUTIFUL TRIBUTE SONG AND BECAUSE IT IS SO BEAUTIFUL TO SEE YOU GUYS RECOGNIZING THESE MAJOR FIGURES IN ROCK FROM THE 60S AND 70S AND '80S!!! YOU GUYS HAVE COME SO FAR!!!❤️❤️❤️
@@michaelasay8587 this is a reaction video!! Like all reactors, they talk. That’s the point. You can always watch the video straight from the internet with no interruptions.
I believe when the Beatles were struggling with what what would become the album Let It Be, George ran into Billy Preston and invited him to the recordings. From the movie it looked like Billy sitting in was the catalyst they needed to actually finish the album. He was a great addition to the recording.
It'd the best part of the documentary. There was no warm up or rehearsal with him. He stopped by to say hi and then just sat down and started playing along with songs the Beatles were struggling with and immediately those songs came together.
Billy KILLED it! He was known as 'the fifth Beatle.' I have several friends addicted to this version now. I've watched this video at least 40 or 50 times. I can feel Billy's soul in his voice.
Billy Preston was so talented.This was from the tribute show for George. He was considered to be the fifth Beatle, having played on many of their major hits. George's son Dhani is playing on stage too with many big artists. This is a beautiful tribute to George. Billy also does a great cover of Eight Days a Week. Unfortunately he died at age 59 from kidney failure. Now Billy, John and George are jamming in heaven. Great reaction. Buckets of Maple Syrup love from Canada ❤️❤️ 🇨🇦 🇨🇦
This was part of a concert that was a tribute to George Harrison with my great high profile musicians. Jeff Lynne (from ELO) did a great version of George Harrison's "Give Me Love (Give Me Peace on Earth)" in this same concert.
Billy was a child prodigy who met the met the Beatles when he was about 14 in Hamburg in their early days. And then he was in London where they were recording their last album and George invited to hang out and the result is PURE MAGIC.
At age 11, Preston appeared on an episode of Nat King Cole's NBC TV show singing the Fats Domino hit "Blueberry Hill" with Cole. He also appeared in St. Louis Blues, the 1958 W. C. Handy biopic starring Nat King Cole; Preston played with Handy at a younger age. In 1962, Preston joined Little Richard's band as an organist, and it was while performing in Hamburg that he met the Beatles. In 1963, he played the organ on Sam Cooke's Night Beat album and released his own debut album, 16 Yr. Old Soul, for Cooke's SAR label. In 1965, he released the album The Most Exciting Organ Ever and performed on the rock and roll show Shindig! In May or June of 1965, he had a session with Little Richard and Jimi Hendrix , in New York City, yielding the Soul classic dirge "I Don't Know What You've Got". In 1967, he joined Ray Charles' band. Following this exposure, several musicians began asking Preston to contribute to their sessions.
I love Billy Preston's rendition of this song. Nobody is more justified in covering this great George Harrison song than Billy! This was taken from the George Harrison tribute concert with all famous musicians paying tribute to him. For me, this performance was definitely one of the highlights of the concert. Billy is like a shining star taking everyone to church!
I've been following this channel since before Amber was a regular, and let me tell you: You guys have come a long way! You spotted Clapton immediately. Picked out Sir Paul, Ringo, you even picked up on that certain someone who must be related to George. He is! That's his son, Dhani. Lots of other celebrities in this band, too, should you want to look them all up. Congrats, guys. You can understand better how much this music means to so many when you can draw these connections and meanings on your own. We're here to help you if you need it, but it's pretty powerful when you just get it. It moves me when it moves you.
Every time I watch this video, I remember watching it live on television, and live or now - it still makes me cry. Love all of these Great Music Artists!
You guys should really watch the documentary Get Back which is about the Beatles recording their last album and getting ready for their last concert together. It’s like being a fly on the wall watching these geniuses writing songs that the world now knows so well. In the 2nd part 21-year old Billy Preston drops in the session, jumps on the piano, and just improvises along with what they’ve working on and KILLS it. And the Beatles are all just astounded and delighted. It’s one of most incredible moments and full of joy. ❤
I got to see Billy Preston perform at a Beatles convention in the NYC metro area several years before he passed. It was a mini concert, and of course, brought the house down.
That’s Dhani Harrison, George’s son.. All the Beatles’ sons favor their fathers, Sean Lennon, Dhani Harrison, James McCartney, and Zac Starkey (Ringo’s son). They’re all musicians as well.. ✌🏼🦋💛
You have to watch Get Back. It's about 9 hours long, so, you know, clear the calendar. But the moment Billy Preston (so young!) shows up at the studio, the whole vibe changes immediately! Just five phenomenal musicians at the top of their game, jamming and writing music.
A great tribute, by a great MAN. I saw Billy Preston in concert in 1973. He was so talented and so very soulful! My very favorite song by him is "That's the Way God Planned It". He takes you to church with a message of love for one another. Also some fabulous horns in this one.
This whole concert is amazing. It took place on the one year anniversary of George's passing. It brings all of George's friends and his son together to play his songs. The 3 guitarists are Eric Clapton, Jeff Lynne, and Dhani Harrison (George's son). This whole concert is about George Harrison. If you want more from this concert, check out: Horse to Water While my Guitar Gently Weeps Photograph Wha-Wha And Beware of Darkness
This was a George's public memorial service....and this song always ALWAYS moves me to tears.... Billy Preston went on to do a ton of Christian Gospel....and I love this version and it's a wonderful throwback to the Churches I was born into in the 70s and 80s.. "My Sweet Lord" pays tribute to George's beliefs... (He was Hindu) but a beautiful tribute to people of faith...
This was the "Concert for George" it was done about a year after George passed away. It was an all star concert which is why you see Eric Clapton and Paul McCartney. The younger shorter guy on the guitar next to Clapton is George Harrison's son Dhani.
I've always loved the tribute concert for George; another favorite of mine from this concert is Ringo singing "Photograph". Absolutely fantastic! Keep 'em coming...
Yes, that is Eric Clapton and next to him is George Harrison's son Dhani Harrison. HUGE tribute to the great George Harrison. This always makes me cry. All around Star studded band..
From 1970, Billy Preston played keyboards (including piano, organ, clavinet and various synthesizers) for the Rolling Stones, sometimes alongside pianists Nicky Hopkins and Ian Stewart, on their albums Sticky Fingers, Exile on Main St., Goats Head Soup, It's Only Rock 'n Roll and Black and Blue. As the band's primary touring keyboardist from 1973 to 1977, he also performed as a support act with his own band (including Mick Taylor on guitar) on their 1973 European tour. A Munich performance from this tour was documented on Preston's album Live European Tour 1973.
Brilliant review guys, glad you did this. Not only is it a great classic, but the lineup on stage to pay tribute to George was just a whose who of talent....not just Paul, Ringo and Eric, but George's son and some of the best percussionists, drummers and guitar players going around. Layer Billy's voice on top of that it's just a touching performance. Ty.
Do yourselves a favor and watch this entire movie, "Concert For George"... they do most of his songs and the range of artists that were friends and co-players with George are all on stage giving tribute exactly one year to the day of his passing. Lots of teary eyed moments.
This video clip is from The Concert for George, after George's Death. Also on stage are Eric Clapton, Jeff Lynn, George's Son, Dani, Paul McCartney, Ringo Star, Tom Petty. And many more. Great Tribute Concert put together by George's long time Friend Eric Clapton. And it's was George Harrison who brought Billy in,just as he done with Eric.
I'm amazed at how many great musicians George Harrison was close friends with, like Eric Clapton and Billy Preston, the Beatles originally, and then with Tom Petty and Jeff Lynne in the Traveling Wilburys days. When the Beatles needed someone to play keyboards for a live recording of the Let it Be album, Harrison happened to have keyboard legend Preston visiting the studio. He even got a record label credit on the Get Back 45 release, which said "The Beatles with Billy Preston". His keyboard work on "Don't Let Me Down" is amazing.
You guys MUST do yourselves a favor and watch The Concert for George. Great songs like this, heartfelt, beautifully played. Clapton, Paul, Ringo, Tom Petty, Jeff Lynne, Gary Brooker from Procol Harum, Billy Preston, Dhani Harrison and others. Best televised concert/tribute you will ever see. And try Isn't it a Pity, the other Billy Preston cover from the show, another showstopper
When I first saw this on PBS it took months to track down where I could buy one. The whole Concert For George is an amazing tribute to a wonderful man.
I remember rushing home from work to watch this live on TV. When I saw George Harrison's son standing in George's spot playing guitar, I was overcome with emotion and had to compose myself. It was like seeing a ghost. Several songs from that show are so Respectfully done.
Never forget Ringo & Paul along with Jeff Lynne were all also a part of this "Tribute to George Harrison" Eric Clapton does a perfect of George's style of guitar & his son Dhani Harrison on acoustic guitar is great ~ You should explore more clips from that tribute
..."Class of 76"...Billy Preston...What can I say except his music played constantly on the radio in the 70's but HE wasn't well recognized because he didn't have a flashy band name....He was just Billy Preston...more is...Nothing from Nothing...Will it Go Round in Circles...You are so Beautiful...That's the way God Planned It...Thx!
Yes this was from a beautiful tribute to George, "The Concert For George" a MUST WATCH guys, yes that was Danni Harrison on stage looking like a young George and Paul even says Danni being there makes it look like George stayed young and all of the rest got old. Please watch it Billy also does another of George's songs as well RIP Billy and George Ty for the music. Keep Safe Keep Strong 🦘🦘🦘🦘🎶🎶🎶🎶🎄🎄🎅🤶🎄🎄
Yes, that was Eric Clapton on guitar up front. This was a tribute concert for George Harrison after he passed. There were many, many tremendous artists who took part in this concert. You will see a young man playing guitar who looks like George Harrison near Clapton. That is George Harrison's son. I have this whole concert on DVD and it is great.
Jeff Lynne from ELO on stage left.
Ringo Star on Drums and Paul on piano
The Best concert! I have it on DVD too 'Concert for George' at The Royal Albert Hall, London. On the 1st anniversary of George's passing.
Yes, that's Dhani, George's son 😊
This concert was the one where you saw Prince play the guitar on My Guitar Gently Weeps.
Glad you watched this video. You should watch more! This is the Tribute to George Harrison concert. So many good live performances. Enjoy!
This tribute concert to George was on PBS a few days ago.
@@patswanson2870 Fact's
Agreed
They did a pretty good job of spotting the musicians except for one, Jeff Lynn of ELO. There is one cover of a Beatles song that actually improved over the original. That would be Aerosmith, Come Together.
@@patswanson2870 Pat...gosh I have to watch that. Can I pull it up on utube? Greetings, from paradise Puerto Vallarta, where I reside
You have to watch the entire Concert for George...amazing!!
This was at The Concert for George that took place after George Harrison's passing. The young man playing acoustic guitar on stage is Dhani Harrison, George's son. Dhani is 44 years old now.
The kid in the white shirt is Geaorge Harrison's son.
@@MrDodgegmc1 Yes
Yes he is ❤. Looks so much like his dad
Billy! He lived an amazing musical life. Gone way too soon.
Paul mentions at the end that Dhani’s mother says looking at Dhani is like George never got old & everyone else has. There were so many great songs during the tribute.
I thought that was Dhani. ❤ love and miss you George
These back up singers are incredible
Yes -- Tremendous
Not only Eric Clapton, but Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr, Tom Petty, Jeff Lynne, and many others are there with Billy Preston. A memorial for George! Beautiful stuff! ♥♥

Yes!!
My favorite live guitar solo.

Top two best concerts I have on DVD..(The last Waltz) The Band..
same brown is one of the backing singers who had a hit in 1989 with stop
Love this video...need to check out a video with him and this female one of the greatest Love songs ever written
Billy Preston helped George put the song together before George recorded it. This whole concert was/is incredibly beautiful. ✌️ ❤️
I believe when the Beatles were struggling with what what would become the album Let It Be, George ran into Billy Preston and invited him to the recordings. From the movie it looked like Billy sitting in was the catalyst they needed to actually finish the album. He was a great addition to the recording.
Absolutely! He was the cherry on the sundae and gave Let It Be and the lads that little extra push.
It'd the best part of the documentary. There was no warm up or rehearsal with him. He stopped by to say hi and then just sat down and started playing along with songs the Beatles were struggling with and immediately those songs came together.
What I've read, Billy was pretty much the reason that they didn't break up right then and there.
The kid in the white suit playing guitar next to Clapton is Dhani Harrjson, George's son.
You picked a great one here. My feel good song. Love it!
R.I.P Billy Preston! What a gem you were!
Billy KILLED it! He was known as 'the fifth Beatle.' I have several friends addicted to this version now. I've watched this video at least 40 or 50 times. I can feel Billy's soul in his voice.

Wow!!! 💗💗💗 RIP the Fifth Beatle Billy Preston!
How has this not got more Views!!!!! amazing on all levels!!
What a fantastic concert this was. I regularly watch it.
Definitely need to watch the whole show! Concert for George!
Billy Preston was a national treasure. The 5th Beatle. Thank you for the music. RIP
This was part of a concert that was a tribute to George Harrison with my great high profile musicians. Jeff Lynne (from ELO) did a great version of George Harrison's "Give Me Love (Give Me Peace on Earth)" in this same concert.
I"m not a religious person, but I am absolutely blown away when someone is genuinely swept away by their pure faith.
Yes and Billy was a deeply Christian artist in his later years... :) I love hearing his faith expressed out there....
Billy Preston was really something else in his hay day “Nothing from noting” was one of my fav!
Billy Preston is also considered as the fifth Beatle. He was the pianist in so many Beatles songs. He was there at the rooftop concert.
“Joe Brown - I’ll See You in My Dreams” from this concert is a beautiful song
Also Here comes the sun. 👏
Billy Preston has a pleasant, unique sound to his vocals.
I've been blessed to have seen Billy Preston twice in small jazz clubs, once with Ringo Star. He definitely knows how to "bring you to church".
Billy was a child prodigy who met the met the Beatles when he was about 14 in Hamburg in their early days. And then he was in London where they were recording their last album and George invited to hang out and the result is PURE MAGIC.
He nailed it. Just wonderful.
Continue to R.I.P Mr Preston. Thanks for this one guys.
Billy was the keyboardist on the Beatles song "Get Back"...
In addition to Clapton, there's George's son Dhani on guitar and Ringo on drums, Paul's there and also fellow Travelling Wilbury Jeff Lynne
At age 11, Preston appeared on an episode of Nat King Cole's NBC TV show singing the Fats Domino hit "Blueberry Hill" with Cole. He also appeared in St. Louis Blues, the 1958 W. C. Handy biopic starring Nat King Cole; Preston played with Handy at a younger age.

+1 for Billy Preston's duet with Syreeta singing "With You I'm Born Again". Their chemistry in that song is just amazing!
I love Billy Preston's rendition of this song. Nobody is more justified in covering this great George Harrison song than Billy! This was taken from the George Harrison tribute concert with all famous musicians paying tribute to him. For me, this performance was definitely one of the highlights of the concert. Billy is like a shining star taking everyone to church!

Every time I watch this video, I remember watching it live on television, and live or now - it still makes me cry. Love all of these Great Music Artists!
This is from a tribute concert after George passed. All his friends were there. Thats George's son Dhani.

Yes, the young guy who looks like George is Dhani, George's son. They really do look so alike, don't they?
Billy was on keys for the Beatle's rooftop concert. It's worth a watch.
I absolutely love this concert for George!
