- Wow. Thank you to our alpha patron Joel for these two stunning choices. Just SUCH good music, man. George was so talented. He had so many songs ready to go by the time his first album came out and every one I have heard have been bangers... and these 2 live versions are just sublime. He had everyone here! And... if I end up making money on this video, all of the proceeds will be donated to UNICEF just like the proceeds from this album continue to do. I will also be making a donation equal to what was given to me to do this.

Years ago I wrote George and he replied and sent a pin from his Maharishi . I’ll treasure it forever 🩷
WoW how **Beautiful** you are indeed so very **Lucky** i **Luv** **George Harrison** so very MUCH ever since i was a very lil girl i knew of him & his songs way before i knew of **The Beatles** such a **BeautifulBeing&Soul**
This was the very first rock concert for a charitable cause. George set the table for every rock charity that has followed
I'm glad he did. I'm sure this has helped more people than we can count. If he inspired Liveaid and such that is a fantastic lineage to have.
I was at this show with my lifelong friend of 63 years…we were 16 then
@@BeeGee56 WoW you are sooo very **Lucky** he is such a **BeautifulBeing&Soul**
@lawrencesmith6536 Indeed, it was George who told Bob Geldof not to make a record from "Live Aid" because he would never be able to "trace" where the money went.
My Sweet Lord was the first #1 Billboard hit by ANY former Beatle.
....definitely Leon Russell. Glad you noticed!
Another great reaction Lee. Yes that was George and Leon sharing the lead vocals. Billy Preston does a killer version of "That's the way God planned it" from this album. Keep'em coming brother ❤️
Great Concert/Album. May be the very first gathering of musicians to raise money for a cause??. Great performances, great back stories. Would Clapton show up, he was in his drug fog phase, would Dylan go on stage, he was having stage fright issues. George held it all together (without John & Paul) - Leon Russell &Billy Preston were huge presences- & Claudia Lennear (Leon's background singer and Ms Brown Sugar) is the prominent female vocal at the show.
Oh yes!!!
There is no “studio album”. This is the concert soundtrack.
Worth seeing. Many great moments!
First of its kind n we owe it to George!
That's what I meant. It's the album OF the concert
The fact that there was a concert for Bangladesh in the first place is a testament to George's empathetic nature. The music is a bonus that we get to relive over and over
"Beware of Darkness" - always good advice. As I recall Ravi Shankar, the sitar virtuoso and George's friend and mentor, asked him to do a benefit for Bangladesh. The Bengal region of India was very prosperous in the mid-18th century. Then it was colonized by Britain. Today it is among the poorest places on Earth
Seems like whenever people go to a new place and try to colonize the place, they end up screwing the place all up.
There's a depth of soul and...spiritual elegance to George's music that never fails to fascinate me. To me, his arc was the mist interesting in the Beatles; John and Paul were already head-turning songwriters when they hit, but we got to watch George become their equal, and we fans got to go with hin on his journey. Great soul.
His prayer to Krishna. George was the spiritual one. We can see how they had to separate over time. They were all so different and our needs for self come into view. All of them gifts to us.
This was also released as a a feature film. Definitely worth watching. With Bob Dylan ,Clapton and more.
He asked John Lennon to be part of the show. But John declined, saying he didn't want to distract or take away the spotlight from George. He also truly respected the idea of the benefit. Hats off to Lennon for not getting in the way. Unfortunately it took years to get the proceeds to the people who needed it.
George had a HUGE list of great songs in his back pocket that John and Paul would never allow to be released as the Beatles.
Yes. That’s Leon Russell singing… his resume was awe inspiring.
This is the concert that keeps on giving. My favorite is Dylan’s Just Like A Woman backed by Harrison and Russell. Sublime
Love all George Harrison solo work. Can't wait for this one.
What a special man - my favorite Beatle. Hearing this was the soul booster I really needed right now. Lee, his solo song co-written with Jeff Lynne, “When we was Fab,” is on a par with “Glass Onion.” Both are incredible pop songs with lyrics that wryly and cleverly dissect Beatlemania and Beatles “lore.” ❤
Groundbreaking concert and album, great film too. Cheers, glad for the reaction to this version of 'Beware of Darkness' in particular.
😊🤙🏼🎶❤🍁❤️✨️🕊
Leon Russell sounds great on Beware of Darkness, one of my favorite Harrison songs.
This was a great album when it came out and was for a very necessary cause. Would have been great to be there.
George finding meaning to his success. It was a huge responsibility. I can't even imagine. ❤
George was my favorite.
My sweet lord. The first single i ever bought. Love George.
OMG Yesss I am So very **Happy** you are doing these **George Harrison** is such a **BeautifulBeing&Soul** i knew of him & fell in **Luv** with him when i was a very lil girl way before i even knew who **The Beatles** were Thank YOU! **Hope** one day you will do his song **Wah Wah** unless you already have & i somehow missed it
Yes Lee has done Wah Wah. I haven't looked in the comments there but I hope someone mentions to Lee wah wah means headache in Britain. So shame in thinking it was a pedal- I was 70 before I knew.
My sweet Lord has also been called a mantra.
I saw this concert in LA, it was the best concert I’ve ever seen
A good pair of songs ... really liked Beware Of Darkness
I was at the Afternoon Show for this Concert. Something I’ll never forget. They did 2 concerts in the same day. 8 bucks for the 3pm show
Somewhere in the long distance past I had the original 45 single of M Sweet Lord. Don't know where the vinyl went but I remember it and always will. You are correct this is about joy and love to very many of us.
Members of the Beatles were innovative in so many ways!
It took George a while to get to that level in song writing, that is why John and Paul wrote most of the songs. They were already pros at it. But he finally improved to their level, but by that time, The Beatles were almost done.
Great live album. Feel free to do more.
Except sometimes for the Spector overproduction "All things must pass" is such a beautiful record. Give yourself the chance to listen to it, it is really worth it.
My Sweet Lord has always been one of my favorite songs. Thank you for sharing
I remember going to the movies to watch the film version. The whole theatre were singing along with the songs. All things must pass had been out for over a year.
My Sweet Lord is a musical mantra like the Hindi practice of repetitive chanting . Surprisingly it became a hit among the masses , including to this atheist. The mantra prayer or meditation whatever you want to call it is to quiet the mind
That was Leon Russell on the 3rd verse of "Beware of Darkness". Leon had covered the song on his 2nd album, Leon Russell and the Shelter People, a classic. Check out "Stranger in a Strange Land" +/or "Ballad of Mad Dogs and Englishmen". I saw Leon live in Pittsburgh 6 weeks after this and he
was incredible. Absolutely unique.
My Sweet George ❤
Beware of Darkness is my favorite George song (musically and lyrically). I still get goosebumps every time I hear the concert version. Epic concert, first of its kind. I was 12 when the film of the concert was released in theaters. Sat through it twice, then got the album. Definitely try to watch the concert-film -- I just did a search and found the full concert on Reddit. The musicianship on that stage at that time was incomparable, from the guitars, bass, keys (Bill and Leon) and horns, to Jim and Ringo side by side on drums! And the backup singers were fantastic! If you don't know Leon Russell check him out on youtube and Wiki. You also see the resurgence of Clapton here. If you don't know the history between George and Eric you can read about it online... Thanks, Lee, for doing these! Cheers!
Listen to the medley that Leon Russell played. It was Jumping Jack Flash, Youngblood, and then back into Jumping Jack Flash. Its amazingly incredible. Dylan's whole set is really good too.
I still have my 3 disc triple LP complete with a great booklet of pics from the concert. The box has seen better days and is taped together but it’s all original and one of the coolest records I own
My absolute favorite album of all time
Concert for Bangladesh is the original celeb fundraiser concert. The concert footage is available on DVD.
Still have my original vinyls from back then...
me too :)
You are very lucky my friend. Treasure them. Nothing is safe these days, sadly, except physical media
@@L33Reacts Right? Especially since the 'industry standard' for singers these days is to use pitch 'correction' software on vocals. I hate it with the red hot passion of a million suns lol! Seriously, it fundamentally *changes* what a person sang to something they didn't sing. I want to hear what people sing, to hear the emotion and expression, not what some software does to it.
I have the dvd of this concert. It is incredible.
Thank you for your charitable promise.
I'm not the only charitable one! I've had two people already send in a donation to go along with it. I wasn't expecting that! What a wonderful community we have here.
Leon Russell ❤️👏🏻❤️
Leon Russell's history in music and associations is astounding.
Please consider "Stranger in a Strange Land".
You just might relate...strongly.
Watch the concert footage! All of it! It is epic!
"Beware of soft shoe shufflers". Leon Russell
L33, man, I love when Leon comes in!
Sounds like he’s got T. Rex’s background singers on this. Nice. Two of my favorite George Harrison songs.
Ha - I was JUST about to comment on how bad the background singing is on MSL. To each their own, I guess! :) But yes, great songs.

The concert you're referring to is "The concert for Bangladesh",(border with Inda) . Clapton,Ringo and Bob Dylan are the major names. 2 nights at "Madison square garden " . The cues of people around the building were memorable. It gave a triple LP and a special edition box 😊
The Beatles, that is Paul and John rejected this song. George was very frustrated- you can’t blame him. I love his solo music.
Beware of Darkness second singer is Leon Russell. You may check out some Leon Russell...fabulous artist.
That’s the great Leon Russel!
Yes! Please discover his body of work. He was a singer, musician and songwriter.
And member of The Wrecking Crew!
Beware of darkness, with Leon Russell is Sic as hell, love love that song and video..should of went studio my sweet lord, and the video concert of beware of darkness, with Leon russell
Totally forgot I have this on vinyl! This one and All Things Must Pass are so good. They're both very different and both have some great personnel. Both songs on both albums and yet so different. I wonder if there's video of any of the songs from the movie Concert for Bangladesh, and if the movie is still available anywhee. Solo George and The Beatles in one day woo hoo!
You should see the remake video Ringo did with a lot of cool cameos. It came out a year or so ago. A mini-movie, really. It's excellent.
If you haven't already some great solo songs by George is: "All Those Years Ago", "What is Life" and "Give Me Love",
"Who's that?"
Just the genius Leon Russell.
Sheryl Crow did one amazing cover of this song "Beware of darkness 'both live and studio "
great triple album. one whole side of Dylan. My copy came with a large poster of Dylan. Leon Russell does a killer version Jumping Jack Flash/Youngblood. Clapton. Ringo. Ravi Shankar Billly Preston
They also played, jumping Jack flash and another cool song called Youngblood.
Definitely Leon Russel. His voice is unmistakable .
Yes , Leon Russel
still have the concert for Bangladesh, love that album(s) listen to Ravi Shankar
Isn't it a Pity, my favorite from All Things Must Pass.
Such a great album & concert. I have the boxed three album vinyl, though the box is getting a bit tatty. Leon Russel there with George on "Beware of Darkness". More tracks from this please Lee.
Ann Wilson from Heart does an awesome cover of Beware of Darkness!
That's Leon Russell on piano and vocals on Beware of Darkness.
You are correct it’s Leon on the other lead vocals!
You really should watch the movie of the Bangladesh concert. It ranks up there with The Last Waltz. Especially check out Leon Russell's medley. Also, your reactions yesterday reminded me to recommend one of the updated film versions of the Shea stadium concert. I think it may have been the first stadium concert -- a new experience for everyone involved. The lads were pretty giddy during most of it. The music was surprisingly good, considering they could barely hear themselves.
Bangledesh is in Asia, near India.
He was before Live Aid in 1985.
The Concert For Bangledesh in 1972.
Two different continents,
Two different countries,
Same humanitarian goal.
God is known in many religions and cultures around the world by many different names.
God is still God.
God is Love.
My Sweet Lord -
Been awhile since I've heard these versions. More straight rock than the Spector album recording.
"Beware of Darkness" is such a beautiful song.
I’ve seen an interview with George Harrison, where he said at age 12 traditional religion in England was BS.
And some interview you can hear him talk about some of the things that explains his spirituality. Because he firmly believed that the body ages, but souls are eternal. And if you listen to the lyrics, he has a lot of things to say about what he thinks about organized religion such as one line from a song called “Awaiting On You All” the Pope owns 51% of General Motors. It’s that English humor. You can see it in one of his lyrics, by chanting the names of the Lord. “Names” plural ! And the interchanging, Harry Krishna, repetition in his song, my Sweet Lord.
His song “Give me love” (peace on Earth) is one of his most beautiful works of musical art.
Every culture and religion has a different description of the same.... "thing". And then we proceed to do what we do best to those who don't agree with our definition of the "thing" throughout history... whatever that "thing" is. It probably isn't a big fan of what we as a species have done, lol
There is no “studio album”. This is the concert soundtrack.
Worth seeing. Many great moments!
First of its kind n we owe it to George!
That’s Leon Russell. Master studio musician. Elton’s favorite pianist!
He steals the show with his Jumpin Jack Flash/Youngblood medley!! MUST HEAR!!
Leon had quite the career in his own right. Tight Rope, A Song for You, Delta Lady, Lady Blue, This Masquerade, Magic Mirror and my favorite, Back to the Island! I know you didn't mean it that way, but you made it sound like he was mostly known for session work.
If you haven't yet, maybe you'd like to react to George's song "Dark Horse", it was what certain commentators would refer to him as. despite to the fact that he had been dealing with laryngitis when he recorded it, it was still a hit for him, it made the top 20 list in the US. Thanks for this reaction, George deserved better than he got, but hey, when The Beatles broke up, at least he had all that great music that only he alone could take credit for.
There's a lot of good stuff on All Things Must Pass. You should listen to 'My Sweet Lord' - the millennium version, it is fantastic, mesmerizing .
This is a great album.
Check out Leon Russell doing a medley of
🎶Jumping Jack Flash/Youngblood🎶
on this album.
It kicks ass!!!
Other singer on Beware of Darkness is Leon Russell. Included because he'd done a cover of it on one of his best selling albums.
now that you've found The Bangladesh Concert, you have to listen to Leon Russill - Jumpin Jack Flash/Youngblood. I promise you'll love it! Sending you some money for UNICEF bro, thanks so much
I wasn't lucky enough to be at Madison Square Garden to see these shows. But I did see him in concert a little over a year later in Tulsa. (BTW the other singer you asked about "soft shoe shuffle" was Leo Russell) That concert was called Hari's On Tour Express. The Beatles had great marketing skills. His first publishing company was called "Harrisongs" and Ringo Starkey's was called "Startling Music." John had Lenono music. Paul was MPL (McCartney Productions Limited). George's production company was later called "Living in the Material World Foundation."
George was persuaded to do the Concert for Bangladesh by his good friend, the sitarist Ravi Shankar, who also appeared in the concert. George had a lot of doubts about stepping out as the front man for such a show, but he did a great job. Among the many guest and supporting artists, Leon Russell was there manning the piano and providing vocals. You should definitely check out Leon's featured performance, a medley of The Rolling Stones hit “Jumpin' Jack Flash” and the old R&B song “Youngblood.” Great stuff.
The other singer in Beware of Darkness is Leon Russell. Another great spiritual song by George Harrison Awaiting On You All.
George. Master Craftsman.
I really responded to the Material World album. I think i was 15 when it came out...
Shankar's Bangla Dune is mesmerizing.
Excellent album❤ I remember buying it back then ❤
George was sued by a record company whose female singing group had a hit song in the sixties called He’s So Fine. They said George took the three notes from He’s So Fine and used them for My Sweet Lord. The court ruled in George’s favor. You can read about the case.
Why did he have to pay over half a million dollars if the court ruled in his favor?
@@lauraallen55 Yes. I remember him losing that case.
@@johnsilva9139 Thanks, thought I was dreaming there for a minute lol!
Billy Preston totally took this song to church at the Concert For George.
If you can check out McCartney’s jet, band on the run or juniors farm. Great rings..
I like the song Bangladesh from the Material World album
George's voice is great too!
This 5:21 5:22 was the first rock concert for charity. George showed how to do it and many more have followed.
I saw him a few years after this concert on the ‘Dark Horse’ tour in 1974. Not the all star lineup that Bangladesh had but a great concert nonetheless. The only former Beatle I ever saw live.
Listen to the title track "Bangladesh" on this album... Fantastic!
Bangladesh, officially the People's Republic of Bangladesh, is a country in South Asia. It is the eighth-most populous country in the world and is among the most densely populated countries with a population of nearly 170 million in an area of 57,320 sq mi. Bangladesh shares land borders with India to the north, west, and east, and Myanmar to the southeast. To the south, it has a coastline along the Bay of Bengal. It is narrowly separated from Bhutan and Nepal by the Siliguri Corridor, and from China by the mountainous Indian state of Sikkim in the north.
