Could try a new rabbitt hole with his band Traveling Wilburys with Dylan & Friends - not sure if you have done that band - the videos are good too. Handle Me With Care
Suggestions from the all things must pass album: id have u anytime (written by harrison & bob dylan), let it grow, from behind that locked door, apple scruffs....thats all i got for now, but u really cant go wrong with this album
Isn't it a pity? Now isn't it a shame? How we break each other's hearts and cause each other pain How we take each other's love without thinking anymore Forgetting to give back Isn't it a pity?
Who knows... I suspect that one of the tracks from this album might just be my Patreon choice for next month..... I FEEL THE NEED.... LOL... Take care Lee..
Lennon and McCartney were geniuses, real ones and George in any other band would have been a lead songwriter. McCartney turned George's song something from a nice ballad into a masterpiece. He did so by composing a counter melody on bass, my favorite bass line of all time. Really the song Something that we know is a Harrison/McCartney composition in my mind. George didn't get the short end of the stick as having the two greatest composers of the 20th century in your band is a dream come true and he could learn from the best up close and personal. And he did learn. Having a genius composer like McCartney as your bass player is a huge bonus and showed on George songs like Taxman, Something and Here Comes The Sun (another driving McCartney bass line). McCartney often brought George songs to life while John was the influence in him having something to say. Few give Lennon and McCartney credit for this, but I do, because I can hear it.
My favourite George song is "Long Long Long", which comes just after Helter Skelter on the White Album, and is the perfect song to follow Helter Skelter
Lee, I did some research on Wikipedia. The following musicians are believed to have played on "What Is Life": George Harrison - vocals, lead guitar, acoustic guitar, slide guitar, backing vocals Eric Clapton - guitar Bobby Whitlock - organ Carl Radle - bass Jim Gordon - drums Jim Price - trumpet, horn arrangement Bobby Keys - saxophone Pete Ham - acoustic guitar Tom Evans - acoustic guitar Joey Molland - acoustic guitar Mike Gibbins - tambourine John Barham - string arrangement The musicians who performed on Harrison's All Things Must Pass version of "All Things Must Pass" are believed to be as follows: George Harrison - vocals, acoustic guitar, slide guitar, backing vocals Eric Clapton - acoustic guitar, backing vocals Pete Drake - pedal steel Billy Preston - piano Bobby Whitlock - harmonium, backing vocals Klaus Voormann - bass Ringo Starr - drums, tambourine Jim Gordon - drums Bobby Keys - saxophone Jim Price - trumpet, trombone, horn arrangement John Barham - string arrangement
The title song brings tears to my eyes even after all these years of listening to this magnificent effort from George. All Things Must Pass, even George himself. We loved you George and still do.
Somewhere along the line you should watch the Concert For George, an event organized by Clapton, where Eric and many of George's friends and people who had played with him got together a year after his death, and played Harrison's music - people like Paul, Ringo, Tom Petty, Gary Brooker, Jim Keltner, Jeff Lynne, and many more. There was also Ravi Shankar with an Indian orchestra, a sitar piece by Shankar's daughter, and a Monty Python segment (George financed The Life Of Brian). The George stories on the DVD extras (also on Y.T.) were great too. One highlight was Clapton and McCartney's rendition of "Something", then there was "While My Guitar Gently Weeps". There is also the Martin Scorcese movie "Living in the Material World".
I'd suggest Concert for Bangladesh first featuring George himself at his peak. The triple album of the concert actually won the Grammy for album of the year in 1973. So amazingly George started his post-Beatles career with two triple albums.
I recommend L33 'Life Itself' from Somewhere In England LP in 1981. Also on Best of Dark Horse, George's second greatest hits compilation. Not well known but a gorgeous song with a religious theme and lots of George guitar. Don't neglect later George. He went missing chart-wise for a time pre-Cloud 9 but there are gems hidden on those later albums.
You can sure tell the difference between Sir George Martin's production and Phil Spector's when listening to this (What is Life). It's got so much reverb, and sounds a bit like the vocals get lost in the mix. But, I love the song so very much!
@@stlmopoet He fired a gun in a Lennon session. John said something like, "If you're going to kill me, just do it. But don't just fire the gun anymore. I need my hearing to record."
George, so influential in my life. The breakup was hard on my 9 year old self, raised with them by older sibs. George is the one who taught me most. I am a spiritual seeker too. John helped me process trauma and emotion outbursts under my own control. Paul was a pop superstar with catchy phrases. I regret never really giving Ringo his chance.
Paul wasn't just about catchy pop, come on. Helter Skelter??! I like all the Beatles, but I've learned to respect the hell out of Paul and Ringo as people moreso than George and John. Ringo was ever the easygoing peacemaker who couldn't stay mad about anything. John went on about peace, George forever mouthing hippy dippy spiritual stuff, but look at their actions. George wanted to swap wives with Ringo. Who does that? And George's ceaseless whining after the Beatles was frankly pretty classless. The other Beatles banded against Paul in their support of having the greasiest of greaseballs Allan Klein manage their business. Paul was in the right there, too. And for all the bitterness of the aftermath, how much of it came from Paul? From John and George, it was nearly nonstop. Peace and spirituality, my butt!!! They acted like petty hypocrites. And Paul stayed with Linda until her death. No wifeswapping there. And to this day, Paul's live shows include a moment for John and George both, Paul performing THEIR music even though his own catelog is miles deep. Oh yeah, and when John left Cynthia (and Julian), who stepped in as comforting father figure for Julian? Paul. Actions, not words.
What is Life is one of those girl dad songs you play on road trips and sing along with at the top of your lungs. All Things Must Pass was a highlight of the Concert for George, with Paul playing guitar alongside Dhani Harrison
One of the most beautiful tracks Isn’t a Pity is thought to be about the breakup of the Beatles but of course, it could be about his marriage to Patti Boyd. Whatever it is, it really is a very special song.
Probably not about either as he wrote it a few months after they got married and long before they broke up. George has said it was about a downturn in any relationship.
Totally agree. Those of us that were lucky enough to grow up with the Beatles seemed to pick a favourite. George always resonated with me the most, especially as he matured. I have planned to have All Things Must Pass at my funeral - so apt! Love you man!
One song featuring George on slide guitar is "Give Me Love (Give Me Peace On Earth) from his 1973 album Living in the Material World. Harrison started playing slide in 1969 at the suggestion of Delaney Bramlett when George and Clapton both toured Europe with Delaney and Bonnie and Friends. That makes sense because it would add a new flavour to the mix, and he wouldn't be competing with Clapton's lead guitar. This is where they met future Dominos members Jim Gordon, Bobby Whitlock, and Carl Radle, who also played on this album.
Here are a couple of great Harrison tracks for you to consider from his other albums: "When We Was Fab" from the "Cloud Nine" album in 1987 (a tongue-in-cheek homage full of musical, lyrical, AND visual references to The Beatles during their 1967 psychedelic period) and "Crackerbox Palace" from the 1976 LP "33 & 1/3". Both songs are catchy, clever and have great accompanying videos.
I was working in a record store when the original 3 LP box set was first released and people came in droves to buy it as soon as they could. The consensus back then was that it was far better than Paul or John's first solo offerings.
Mom used to tell me "It's what you learn after you think you know it all that counts". I thought I knew so much about all The Beatles but it wasn't until after they were broken up and went their mostly separate ways that I finally learned a lot more than I ever knew(adult life happened) These songs are gold to me now. I'm sure I haven't got anything to tell you that other people have already said but thank you anyway
"Isn't it a pity" and "Beware of darkness" are great song on this album. "Dark Horse" is beatiful. Later on on his "Cloud nine" album there are great songs too - watch the music video for "When we was fab". And then go to the Traveling Wilburys. Btw there is a Beatles time outtake for "All things must pass" that is really good.
Because I'm such a weirdo f up most of my life, My sister gave me a refrigerator magnet that has "All things must pass" . She's always been my savior since kindergarten. When we visit we still sing The Beatles in harmony like we did when we were kids in the early 60s
One of my favorite George Harrison albums is Cloud Nine, and for some reason the song someplace else always sticks in my head. It's very melodic and haunting in a way. Check it out if you like. Thanks for your reactions. Being 73 it's cool to watch younger people get a thrill from The Beatles.
My parents gave me this album for Christmas when it came out! My favorite songs from it are Let It Down, Beware of Darkness, Behind That Locked Door, Wah-Wah, and Run of the Mill.
It's astounding when you realize that Harrison became every bit as good (or better) a songwriter as Lennon and McCartney. The "All Things Must Pass" album is just insane. He was just storing up all of these songs for years. Many of them he tried to have be Beatles songs (including "All Things Must Pass"), but they were just dismissed.
This album is my favorite solo effort by any Beatle. It's a triple album but the 3rd disc is a jam session. It's actually a double album with a jam session added to the mix.
I was lucky enough to see the concert for this album in Toronto early 70's at Maple Leaf Gardens. A full Indian Orchestra with Ravi Shankar as well as Billy Preston and Tom Scott ( L.A. Express)......What a trip 3-4 hours of unbelievable music.
I'm so glad you got to All Things Must Pass. I listen to this song every day. Life gets sad as you get older and there can be a lot of loss. You can also become aware of your own mortality. This beautiful song puts things into perspective.
it really does put things into perspective! He has a great way of looking at things. Very heartfelt... and so true. We did "Wah Wah" a long time ago but it's been too long since we've been here.
The great "Wall of Sound", thanks to producer Phil Spector. Also on this masterpiece: Isn't it a pity, If not for you(Dylan song), Beware of darkness, Ballad of Sir Frankie, Awaiting on you all... and more!
Two beautiful positive songs. George blossomed like a butterfly after the Beatles broke up. The cast list on that album reads like a Who's Who of rock!
A future reactor in the making! My daughter drove me crazy when she was four. 😂 George was a spiritual person who looked into his soul. Thank L33 for this song today, I really needed it. 😊😊
George had a helluva time getting his songs on Beatles albums. He was reportedly quite frustrated. He did have a huge catalog of songs that were ignored. Such a classic, timeless album.
what makes All Things Must Pass so special is Phil Specter pulling back and keeping the production simpler and more interesting. That helps it feel more personal. Great Album. at least the studio sides.
George had the first #1 solo album after The Beatles broke up!! That speaks volumes!! "I'd Have You Anytime" and "Isn't It A Pity" are great songs, as well.
"All Things Must Pass" was also a 1968 Demo for the White Album, in fact, the demo recording of The Beatles playing it on their Anthology 3 Album, Since you asked what song to do next give it a spin Lee! or George's "Isn't it a Pity"
There is a masterpiece blues tune co-written by George Harrison and Alvin Lee (Ten Years After) called "The Bluest Blues". George on slide and Alvin on lead guitar and vocals. Check it out.
Between the Beatles, Traveling Willburys & his Solo stuff, George left a huge footprint in music. Btw- some of my fave Beatle tunes were by George: Taxman, Something, Here Comes the Sun, While My Guitar Gently Weeps, etc. Really, he WAS as good a writer as John or Paul, & if given the help in production from Mr. Martin, & the chance from the other Beatles, it would have been obvious. I miss him. I miss them all. George was the deep one though, even though John is usually given that credit. Truth is- they were all brilliant. RIP George✌️🎸🎸😎💫
George asked Clapton to put together a core band to handle the recording of the album, so he put together Derek and The Dominoes: himself (Derek), Bobby Whitlock, Jim Gordon from the Wrecking Crew, and Carl Radle from Tulsa, who introduced Clapton to JJ Cale, helped pull him out of his addiction and got him playing again about 1973, and played with him for years afterwards. A lot of the backing vocals on the album were by Harrison (of course), Clapton, and Whitlock.
I sometimes wonder what the singles on these first solo albums would have sounded like on a hypothetical Beatles farewell album, since the songs on Let It Be and Abbey Road had already been recorded when their breakup was announced although Phil Spector remixed Let It Be afterwards. What would "What Is Life" or "It Don't Come Easy" by The Beatles have sounded like?
Jim Gordon was on drums (Derek and the Dominos, Traffic, a ton of studio work on many well-known songs - Rikki Don't Lose That Number, Pet Sounds, etc.)
Bought this when it first came out and have NEVER tired of listening to the whole album. When my mom died in 1992 I’d put this album on my turntable each morning when I got up and played the song All Things Must Pass first thing. I did this for about 3 months and it helped to put in context the huge loss I was dealing with❤
Great reaction, brother. I loved George his stuff was quite different from the rest. Check out his beatles songs, excellent writer, and singer George loved Indian influences and lot of his song have it..try my sweet lord also...keep spreading the music around Godbless 🎉
Other George Harrison songs you should give a listen to if you have not already include: "All Those Years Ago", ‘Give Me Love (Give Me Peace On Earth)’, ‘My Sweet Lord', ''Got My Mind Set on You", "Something" and "Here Comes the Sun".
One of my favorite George cuts is called Be Here Now from his Living In The Material world album. It is indescribably beautiful. Do yourself a favor and give it a listen. I love what you do.
When I first heard this song on the radio I was under 15 and thought this was a glam band like Sweet. Never in my wildest dreams this was Mr Harrison. Not until he passed did I know this song was him, and not some glam band.
The great guitar solo is kind of buried in the mix, which is too bad. A VERY GOOD album to review is George's "Concert for Bangladesh" which is just loaded with great performances by everyone. The Bob Dylan portion is to die for.....Bob Dylan and George Harrison on guitars, Leon Russell on bass, and Ringo Starr on tambourine!
One more I always forget from 1976. "Cracker Box Palace" from his 33 1/3 Lp which is a fine Lp. This song was a big hit and all over the radio at the time. Also from his 1979 Lp "George Harrison" "Blow Away" a great song. George is highly underrated, the dude had a lot of great strong songs. Wow! One more "Give Me Love (Give Me Peace On Earth)" another big hit and great song from his 1973 Lp "Living In The Material World" which by the way that song "Living In The MW" is also a fantastic song and a must listen. Like I said, George had some great songs that I feel us older ones forget about . I saw The Beatles on the Sullivan show in 64 and saw them later that year live in concert. I've been around for the entire ride for all four of these characters. George was my favorite solo artist of the 4. Peace❤
Jim Gordon was the drummer. As your journey through the history of this record you’ll find that BadFinger,Derek & all the Dominoes, Stone’s horn section play on this song. Nuff said.
What Is Life has a Motown feel. This is where Phil Spector’s Wall of Sound works best. 😊 Any song off this album would have been fine but you picked some nice gems ❤
This album is epic, therapeutic, satirical, emotional. ....I will return with a few suggestions, George became my favorite BeatleI I named my Cat after Mr. Harrison, black-fur, mischief, reluctant, very loyal, and has his peaceful calm.
When the Beatles broke up (remember, they went out with a bang, not a whimper--their last three albums, released over 11 months--were the White Album, Abbey Road, and Let it Be), fans were like junkies, desperately needing a fix of Beatles music. I believe McCartney was the first to put out a solo album, his self-titled album, which was well received. George's 3-album set was next, and it received wide acclaim, which surprised some because George had been kept a bit in the shadows while in the Beatles. For sure, All Things Must Past established his musical bona fides. The third album in the set--Apple Jam--was just that, a prolonged non-lyrical jam session. While often overlooked, it had its merits, I always considered it as a bonus.
George's third solo album but first following the breakup of the Beatles. I dare you to listen all the way through his 2nd solo album "Electronic Sound"
Try tax man,try don't bother me when he's with the beatles roll over Beethoven another good early george..what I liked about him it almost sounds out of key but I like his sound alot it's very different from the others...good reaction keep spreading the music around 🎉
Starting around the album HELP George Harrison delivered one/two songs per album... but each one very distinct from the others album songs. "Within you/Without you" "Whyle my guitar gently weeps "something "here comes the sun "😊
I Dig Love; Cheer Dow; Any Road; are some great George solo work. During the Get Back sessions, The Beatles worked on All Things Must Pass and Paul sang it on the Concert For George tribute.
Theres a great song on Brainwashed called The Rising Sun, its amazing song to write and sing when you know you're dying, uplifting. Also love Devil and the Deep Blue Sea on that album
I agree with a few commenters that you should check out the Traveling Wilburys, who were a British-American supergroup active from 1988 to 1991 consisting of Bob Dylan, George Harrison, Jeff Lynne, Roy Orbison and Tom Petty. (Some other people joined at times, too...)
Damn you WALL OF SOUND! I love this song even though I want to separate and appreciate the individual tracks. My friends and I listened to this on my car stereo as we spent the night driving around the Catskills tripping until the dawn when we could see well enough to find our campsite. Oh, to be 18 again...
Check out the 50th anniversary of ATMP as all the muddiness and so on has been taken out! Dhani was execcutive producer for it. It's a box set too I believe.
All Those Years Ago, tribute to John, from 1981. Give Me Love (Give me Peace On Earth), number one single from 1973. Be Here Now, 1973. Crackerbox Palace, light-hearted gem, inspired by his friendship with the gang from Monty Python. Blow Away, 1979. Not Guilty, remake of an unreleased song from the White album (Beatles version eventually released on Anthology), 1979. George's 33&1/3, his 1976 album is one of my favorites of his solo works.
A year after George H' left this mortal realm, Eric Clapton organized a memorial concert in London (The Concert for George, 2002) with an Indian-Asia portion, appearance by some of Monty Python, and a multitude of friends and family playing their favorite chosen Harrison tunes, at The Royal Albert Hall in London. "All things must pass" was due for near the close, and during practice Paul McC' is reported to say that the Beatles demo'd the song, but he didn't know it very much. Eric Clapton is reported to have answered that Paul should know this song, as it's part about the dissolution of The Beatles. (And, George's personal/spirital life).
@@L33Reacts He did. You really need to hear all the remastered and remixed versions his son, Dhani followed through on for his dad. George hesitated on doing it, then sadly, passed on before he could.
What track by George should we do next? Just continue with this album? Or do something different? Let me know down below!
Could try a new rabbitt hole with his band Traveling Wilburys with Dylan & Friends - not sure if you have done that band - the videos are good too. Handle Me With Care
Suggestions from the all things must pass album: id have u anytime (written by harrison & bob dylan), let it grow, from behind that locked door, apple scruffs....thats all i got for now, but u really cant go wrong with this album
Isn't it a pity?

How we break each other's hearts and cause each other pain
How we take each other's love without thinking anymore
Forgetting to give back
Isn't it a pity?
Bangladesh is a sad and moving song

When Gorge has something to say he will tell you what he thinks.
Here are a couple of great Harrison tracks for you to consider from his other albums: "When We Was Fab" from the "Cloud Nine" album in 1987 (a tongue-in-cheek homage full of musical, lyrical, AND visual references to The Beatles during their 1967 psychedelic period) and "Crackerbox Palace" from the 1976 LP "33 & 1/3".

i haven't heard more then a track or two off of the other's solo debuts, but i've enjoyed them all. i can't really pick yet, to be honest.
Maybe back then there wasn't enough appreciation for songs that were on Plastic Ono Band.
Mom used to tell me "It's what you learn after you think you know it all that counts". I thought I knew so much about all The Beatles but it wasn't until after they were broken up and went their mostly separate ways that I finally learned a lot more than I ever knew(adult life happened)
These songs are gold to me now. I'm sure I haven't got anything to tell you that other people have already said but thank you anyway
Gary Brooker, who played piano on All Things Must Pass, was the singer/pianist from Procol Harum.
This is such a good album ...more please
oh dont worry we will be doing more. and with no 6 month wait either this time! lol
Recently saw on the Get Back documentary that John contributed the line "A MIND can blow those clouds away."
Of all the post beatles solo albums, this one, george's first is my all time fave...youll see what i mean when u finish it
"Isn't it a pity" and "Beware of darkness" are great song on this album. "Dark Horse" is beatiful.

By 2 of the most successful writers of the Century. Lennon and McCartney.
This album is my favorite solo effort by any Beatle. It's a triple album but the 3rd disc is a jam session. It's actually a double album with a jam session added to the mix.
I was lucky enough to see the concert for this album in Toronto early 70's at Maple Leaf Gardens. A full Indian Orchestra with Ravi Shankar as well as Billy Preston and Tom Scott ( L.A. Express)......What a trip 3-4 hours of unbelievable music.
"Dear One" is a Harrison song I have recently discovered, and LOVE!
Eastern rhythm is what got my ear on it....plus George's usual message of love.
"Crackerbox Palace" and "Blow Away" really show a lighter side of George.
I'm so glad you got to All Things Must Pass. I listen to this song every day. Life gets sad as you get older and there can be a lot of loss. You can also become aware of your own mortality. This beautiful song puts things into perspective.
it really does put things into perspective! He has a great way of looking at things. Very heartfelt... and so true. We did "Wah Wah" a long time ago but it's been too long since we've been here.
Check out George as a member of the Travelling Wilburys (Dylan, Tom Petty, Roy Orbison, Jeff Lynn, and of course George)
sadly only 2/5 left of them.
Don't ever forget to Beware of Darkness
My thoughts exactly.
my favorite
I know he reacted to it from Concert For Bangladesh, but I hope he reacts to the one from this album❤
Great reaction! Fantastic album!
You could hear to The Travelling Willbouries.
Blow Away by George Harrison please. It’s on the playlist for my funeral when that day comes.
The great "Wall of Sound", thanks to producer Phil Spector. Also on this masterpiece: Isn't it a pity, If not for you(Dylan song), Beware of darkness, Ballad of Sir Frankie, Awaiting on you all... and more!
He should have done this Song ( All things must pass) when he was in The Beatles, John and Paul Asked him to do it.
My favorite Beatle is George....Love for him and what he gave us
This is one of my all time favorite records, there are some real gems in there.
i've got plenty more to go but the three tracks i've heard are ALL stellar so far
All things must pass always makes me sob like a baby 😢
Two beautiful positive songs. George blossomed like a butterfly after the Beatles broke up. The cast list on that album reads like a Who's Who of rock!
Have you done any Traveling Wilburies? Some fun tunes with them, too!
What a fabulous group of musicians the Traveling Wilburys are.😅
A future reactor in the making! My daughter drove me crazy when she was four. 😂 George was a spiritual person who looked into his soul. Thank L33 for this song today, I really needed it. 😊😊
I recommend the 50th Anniversary remix of this album. It gets rid of reverb and muddiness. It's what George wanted to do in 2000 but hesitated on
'Cheer Down' is a great one from later in his career and some of his best slide guitar work. Should give that one a listen.
You should do something from Concert For George. All georges friends remembering him through his songs.
that's a great idea. i will keep that in mind. thank you!
George had a helluva time getting his songs on Beatles albums. He was reportedly quite frustrated. He did have a huge catalog of songs that were ignored. Such a classic, timeless album.
George Harrison joined with Ringo Starr, Billy Preston, Peter Frampton, and Pete Drake during the “All Things Must Pass” sessions (1970).
what makes All Things Must Pass so special is Phil Specter pulling back and keeping the production simpler and more interesting. That helps it feel more personal. Great Album. at least the studio sides.
This entire album is a masterpiece. Do all of it.
Edit: the slide guitar work is sublime
George had the first #1 solo album after The Beatles broke up!! That speaks volumes!!
"I'd Have You Anytime" and "Isn't It A Pity" are great songs, as well.
Pretty sure Paul's was the first to reach number 1
@@lauraallen55 Yep, "McCartney" reached No 1.
In the recording sessions for Get Back, the song All Things Must Pass was being worked on for a possible next Beatles album.
“All things must pass”… truth.
The most truthful truth ever spoken.
"All Things Must Pass" was also a 1968 Demo for the White Album, in fact, the demo recording of The Beatles playing it on their Anthology 3 Album, Since you asked what song to do next give it a spin Lee! or George's "Isn't it a Pity"
Art of art....george
Art ofrece die
So much George but I would heartily recommend Luving In the Material World and Dark Horse. Two great songs.
So much lennon influence crept into georges music🤘❤️
There is a masterpiece blues tune co-written by George Harrison and Alvin Lee (Ten Years After) called "The Bluest Blues". George on slide and Alvin on lead guitar and vocals. Check it out.
John & Paul always under estimated George's talent. It took the break up of the Beatles to reveal his true artistry and talent.
Classic album.
a frickin triple album. what a prolific release.
@@L33Reacts he had a lot of songs by 71. Maybe that’s what he had to let pass. Put out those songs
@@L33Reacts The last disc is just jamming, really, but yes, great album!
Between the Beatles, Traveling Willburys & his Solo stuff, George left a huge footprint in music. Btw- some of my fave Beatle tunes were by George: Taxman, Something, Here Comes the Sun, While My Guitar Gently Weeps, etc. Really, he WAS as good a writer as John or Paul, & if given the help in production from Mr. Martin, & the chance from the other Beatles, it would have been obvious. I miss him. I miss them all. George was the deep one though, even though John is usually given that credit. Truth is- they were all brilliant. RIP George✌️🎸🎸😎💫
George asked Clapton to put together a core band to handle the recording of the album, so he put together Derek and The Dominoes: himself (Derek), Bobby Whitlock, Jim Gordon from the Wrecking Crew, and Carl Radle from Tulsa, who introduced Clapton to JJ Cale, helped pull him out of his addiction and got him playing again about 1973, and played with him for years afterwards. A lot of the backing vocals on the album were by Harrison (of course), Clapton, and Whitlock.
" Put me in Coach"..👍 No truer words spoken in a reaction to The Quiet Beatle . ❤
Can you imagine "Abbey Road" with "What Is Life?" instead of "Maxwell's Silver Hammer?".
I'd like both! I love Maxwel.l
@@Moz1011each to their own but MSH is absolute tosh and the only low spot on the entire album.
I sometimes wonder what the singles on these first solo albums would have sounded like on a hypothetical Beatles farewell album, since the songs on Let It Be and Abbey Road had already been recorded when their breakup was announced although Phil Spector remixed Let It Be afterwards. What would "What Is Life" or "It Don't Come Easy" by The Beatles have sounded like?
@@John-et9yl in your opinion.
@@John-et9yl better than Polythene Pam and Mean Mr Mustard
Jim Gordon was on drums (Derek and the Dominos, Traffic, a ton of studio work on many well-known songs - Rikki Don't Lose That Number, Pet Sounds, etc.)
Bought this when it first came out and have NEVER tired of listening to the whole album.
When my mom died in 1992 I’d put this album on my turntable each morning when I got up and played the song All Things Must Pass first thing. I did this for about 3 months and it helped to put in context the huge loss I was dealing with❤
Great tracks from a superb album!
Great reaction, brother. I loved George his stuff was quite different from the rest. Check out his beatles songs, excellent writer, and singer George loved Indian influences and lot of his song have it..try my sweet lord also...keep spreading the music around Godbless 🎉
Other George Harrison songs you should give a listen to if you have not already include: "All Those Years Ago", ‘Give Me Love (Give Me Peace On Earth)’, ‘My Sweet Lord', ''Got My Mind Set on You", "Something" and "Here Comes the Sun".
One of my favorite George cuts is called Be Here Now from his Living In The Material world album. It is indescribably beautiful. Do yourself a favor and give it a listen. I love what you do.
Loved this song since hearing it when I was a kid
When I first heard this song on the radio I was under 15 and thought this was a glam band like Sweet. Never in my wildest dreams this was Mr Harrison. Not until he passed did I know this song was him, and not some glam band.
The great guitar solo is kind of buried in the mix, which is too bad.
A VERY GOOD album to review is George's "Concert for Bangladesh" which is just loaded with great performances by everyone.
The Bob Dylan portion is to die for.....Bob Dylan and George Harrison on guitars, Leon Russell on bass, and Ringo Starr on tambourine!
ATMP is the best solo record from a Beatle, hands down. Love it. Great band behind George as well.
yeah, that lineup is all killer no filler. he wasn't playing around with this record lol
Much as I love it, I put Plastic Ono Band a hair higher, personally.
@@lauraallen55 I'd put it at 2. Also a great record.
@@michaelgray4964 I have ATMP, Plastic Ono Band, and Ram all up there and fairly close to one another.
One more I always forget from 1976.
"Cracker Box Palace" from his 33 1/3 Lp which is a fine Lp. This song was a big hit and all over the radio at the time.
Also from his 1979 Lp "George Harrison"
"Blow Away" a great song. George is highly underrated, the dude had a lot of great strong songs.
Wow! One more "Give Me Love (Give Me Peace On Earth)" another big hit and great song from his 1973 Lp "Living In The Material World" which by the way that song "Living In The MW" is also a fantastic song and a must listen. Like I said, George had some great songs that I feel us older ones forget about .
I saw The Beatles on the Sullivan show in 64 and saw them later that year live in concert. I've been around for the entire ride for all four of these characters.
George was my favorite solo artist of the 4.
Peace❤
Thanks!
George is not my favorite Beatle, but All Things Must Pass is my favorite Harrison solo track. It is sublime.
Jim Gordon was the drummer. As your journey through the history of this record you’ll find that BadFinger,Derek & all the Dominoes, Stone’s horn section play on this song. Nuff said.
Been hearing this since I was a kid!
Love it, but that's George on slide, not Pete Drake. And the late Jim Gordon on drums.
What Is Life has a Motown feel. This is where Phil Spector’s Wall of Sound works best. 😊
Any song off this album would have been fine but you picked some nice gems ❤
This album is epic, therapeutic, satirical, emotional. ....I will return with a few suggestions, George became my favorite BeatleI I named my Cat after Mr. Harrison, black-fur, mischief, reluctant, very loyal, and has his peaceful calm.
When the Beatles broke up (remember, they went out with a bang, not a whimper--their last three albums, released over 11 months--were the White Album, Abbey Road, and Let it Be), fans were like junkies, desperately needing a fix of Beatles music. I believe McCartney was the first to put out a solo album, his self-titled album, which was well received. George's 3-album set was next, and it received wide acclaim, which surprised some because George had been kept a bit in the shadows while in the Beatles. For sure, All Things Must Past established his musical bona fides. The third album in the set--Apple Jam--was just that, a prolonged non-lyrical jam session. While often overlooked, it had its merits, I always considered it as a bonus.
Ringo was the first Beatle to release a solo album in March 1970, then Paul in April, George in November, and John in early December. :)
George's third solo album but first following the breakup of the Beatles. I dare you to listen all the way through his 2nd solo album "Electronic Sound"
Try tax man,try don't bother me when he's with the beatles roll over Beethoven another good early george..what I liked about him it almost sounds out of key but I like his sound alot it's very different from the others...good reaction keep spreading the music around 🎉
Starting around the album HELP George Harrison delivered one/two songs per album... but each one very distinct from the others album songs. "Within you/Without you" "Whyle my guitar gently weeps "something "here comes the sun "😊
I Dig Love; Cheer Dow; Any Road; are some great George solo work.
During the Get Back sessions, The Beatles worked on All Things Must Pass and Paul sang it on the Concert For George tribute.
Great album!!❤
Theres a great song on Brainwashed called The Rising Sun, its amazing song to write and sing when you know you're dying, uplifting. Also love Devil and the Deep Blue Sea on that album
I agree with a few commenters that you should check out the Traveling Wilburys, who were a British-American supergroup active from 1988 to 1991 consisting of Bob Dylan, George Harrison, Jeff Lynne, Roy Orbison and Tom Petty.
(Some other people joined at times, too...)
All Things Must Pass can be heard briefly in the Let It Be sessions. Paul does it on Concert For George.
Damn you WALL OF SOUND! I love this song even though I want to separate and appreciate the individual tracks. My friends and I listened to this on my car stereo as we spent the night driving around the Catskills tripping until the dawn when we could see well enough to find our campsite. Oh, to be 18 again...
Check out the 50th anniversary of ATMP as all the muddiness and so on has been taken out! Dhani was execcutive producer for it. It's a box set too I believe.
All Those Years Ago, tribute to John, from 1981. Give Me Love (Give me Peace On Earth), number one single from 1973. Be Here Now, 1973. Crackerbox Palace, light-hearted gem, inspired by his friendship with the gang from Monty Python. Blow Away, 1979. Not Guilty, remake of an unreleased song from the White album (Beatles version eventually released on Anthology), 1979. George's 33&1/3, his 1976 album is one of my favorites of his solo works.
A year after George H' left this mortal realm, Eric Clapton organized a memorial concert in London (The Concert for George, 2002) with an Indian-Asia portion, appearance by some of Monty Python, and a multitude of friends and family playing their favorite chosen Harrison tunes, at The Royal Albert Hall in London. "All things must pass" was due for near the close, and during practice Paul McC' is reported to say that the Beatles demo'd the song, but he didn't know it very much. Eric Clapton is reported to have answered that Paul should know this song, as it's part about the dissolution of The Beatles. (And, George's personal/spirital life).
I love the way they kept the tambourine so high in the mix.
i noticed how high it was too. sounded great. i think phil spector engineered this.
@@L33Reacts He did. You really need to hear all the remastered and remixed versions his son, Dhani followed through on for his dad. George hesitated on doing it, then sadly, passed on before he could.
