I love that Conan is such a huge fan of the Beatles
I know. It's such an endearing thing to see.
The Beatles are one of the few artists/celebrities that constantly get other celebrities starstruck.
Isn’t everyone?
What's nice is that he isn't in-your-face about it like other interviewers
Anshul Dinger true
This is why Conan is the best late night show...he doesn't mind pausing for a second and having a real conversation, doesn't try to pack everything with laughs, but is still hilarious.
And Conan isn't a left political tool like the others.
At least I don't think he is.
Randy Coursey he sometimes makes those jokes, but its not all up in your face like kimmel or colbert
Also without the fake Fallon laugh every 5 seconds
And he doesn't try and cram socialist anti Trump ideology.down the viewers throat. Does Kimmel or Colbert have advance political science degrees . i think they run thier mouths because they think they are more intelligent than the.people who fix thier cars or plumbers who unclog thier toilets .they are snobby elitists
he's just a beatles fan :)
Great story about Ringo and the stones. George had a hell of a sense of humor.
George Harrison was one of the greatest guitarists ever. Not in the way that Hendrix was - bombastic, effusive etc. He just knew the exact fills and solos that the song NEEDED and he’s a bigger part of the Beatles success than he’s billed for
George was much of the harmonic glue that bound the Beatles together.
@@sampsonsimpson1040 Stick to your story
George Harrison has never been considered one of the greatest guitarists ever.
He was the "quiet Beatle", and that's not a quality you look for in a lead guitarist.
When the British spy agency invented a machine that could speed up or slow down
the sound of a recording without changing the pitch, they gave one to the Beatles.
The boys could get stoned and sit around changing the speeds on their recordings
until they thought they sounded better. The "British Invasion" is more than most know.
@Francis Serra: I see you have less musical things to say. George Harrison was an average guitarist, a left-over from the rock and roll days. The word "shred" didn't exist for guitarists when George was onstage. The Beatles were a British Invasion baby band. Who was the cute one? Who was the smart one? What was Pauls' favorite color? Grandmothers on home organs were playing Beatle songs. Can you name another guitarist who played on Beatles' records who didn't get album credits? There's more than one.
@@johnwattdotca lmfao that might be the dumbest thing I've ever read on TH-cam, which is saying a lot. I've heard some great conspiracy theories about the Beatles, but nothing so incredibly laughable as that. Congratulations.
I love the way Paul speaks in interviews and how everything around him just seems more quiet and still than usual.
The sound of silence
Very true. Except the time he wants to smack a little girl on Sesame Street, for upstaging him. Xxx
@@mikequirk6879 Whut? Do you have video link to that?
George Harrison sounds like a very nice, decent person, not full of himself for as big a star as he was. Too bad he's gone! RIP George!
The more I listen to him and read his memoirs and what others have said of him, the more I grow to respect and admire him. Lovely human being
Oh yes. The whole universe took a hit when George died.
We all love George.
George's sense of humor is indeed magnified by how serious he was most of the time. Nice comments about an amazing human being!
calling Friar Park a "house" is like calling the Titanic a a row boat
😂😂😂!
inkey2 Epic. 😂😂😂😂
I oft wonder what he paid for that castle!
seems £135,000 in 1970. The nuns ran a local school in Henley, the Sacred Heart School, but by the late 1960s Friar Park was in a state of disrepair and due to be demolished.[15]
seen it,its enormous but never flashy.
George Harrison,a beautiful human being,RIP George.
About 3:00 minutes into the video I realized, "holy crap, this has been the most low key conversation on Conan ever and no one has cracked a joke"
It seems like the first time Conan was interested in what the guest had to say.
The Beatles will do that to you, even the funniest people.
more like Paul Simon will
Conan’s “Conan O’Brien Needs a Friend” podcast consistently reveals that this side of Conan is always there. The problem is the format of late night TV talk shows, not Conan.
And if you go back in time and watch TH-cam’s of Carson or even folks like Merv Griffin and Mike Douglas, when there are longer segments between ads and less production generally, the interviews are far far better.
@@paulinbrooklyn got into conan o'brian needs a friend this year! Such a great podcast!
Paul Simon, one of the greatest composers of songs of my generation. The songs were so intensely personal and the chord sequences were unique to Paul. Love and respect.
Simon gave a nod to the Beatles and their chord progressions. Simon co-wrote "Red Rubber Ball" for the Cyrkle and the Beatles' influence is strong in both the chords and the cheeky Lennon-like lyrics.
100% agree 👍🏽 😎
not just in your generation sir but all time
SUPER AGREE, Paul Simon is one of the greatest songwriters not only of his generation but of all generations.
The Beatles may have split up as a band in 1970 but none of the members (to this day) ever stopped being Beatles. I love that. You can sense how all of them were so proud of what they achieved, especially when all the bitternes that came with the split finally settled.
I think it's really cool that George's house is still there, all his guitars and instruments are still there, and his jukebox too! It's as if George was going to walk right back inside his house the next day.
Spiritually he never left; the question would be "what he came back as"! I love all his music creations but it will always be his heart that I miss! Just ask anyone from Bangladesh.....they know George's heart!!
Is it a museum for visitors to access?
I Saw Paul live last year for the first time in my life. He is an absolute GOD to me and I wanted to catch him on what would probably be my last chance as he announced his "homeward bound" farewell tour. I didn't expect much in the vocal department, I had heard recent clips where he didn't sound so amazing, but I couldn't care less, this was Paul Simon, a living God and I was as interested in his guitar playing as much as his singing anyway.
When he walked out on stage and picked up his guitar, my heart just sank as I watched his quivering shaking hands grab the guitar. Oh no! Look at Paul's hands. They were shaking so bad I thought he would drop the guitar and he certainly would not be able to play. Within 3 seconds of him playing, I knew that those old hands might shake now with age, but every single note was perfect and as masterfully played as if it was the day he recorded it. His voice was damned near perfect too and I felt a little embarrassed that I had already resigned myself to thinking he couldn't sing anymore. I would have felt like the biggest idiot in the world, but fortunately I was too preoccupied being literally blown away by the talent which I already idolized this man for, but it is just entirely something else to see it in person. It was one of the best most enjoyable concerts of my life.
That's a great story and good to hear. Would love to see him too.
So glad you finally got to see him! Peace.
Paul has such a nice voice.
Bravo Tango Bango
You nailed it !
No one is denying Simon's ability to write beautiful lyrics.
I was at Yankee Stadium the day the late, great
Joe DiMaggio was honored
Simon sang the famous line from his song
"where have you gone Joe DiMaggio"
and the crowd went wild with applause.
But I believe George was much more prolific then Paul Simon.
In fact, is Simon still recording?
I think he's sitting on his royalties...
On the other hand, had George lived, his musical output until today would have, perhaps have overshadowed the greatness of his lyrical genius, and Paul Simon. George's last albums including the iconic Brainwashed establish him as a musical Joe
DiMaggio, and he's still dearly missed today
VI66 beautiful voice, both speaking and singing.
I recall an appearance Saturday night live when Paul Simon and George sat with their guitars. Paul Simon casually said this is my friend George followed by two to three minutes of applause.
They did "Homeward Bound"....on the last chorus, George strummed 7th chord afterbeats to give it a rock sound. I'll never forget how delighted Paul Simon was with that interpretation. At the end, Paul played his signature folk lick, which George answered with a pentatonic rock outtro lick. The audience went wild.
"Paul sent that to us as a promo for Standing Stone.." I died. Jesus I miss George Harrison - there isn't enough of his type around.
+Farrell McNulty I didn't get the joke. George said it was already on the property. Then Ringo said Paul gave it to them. What did I miss in between?
+Lynn Turman Paul had an album out called "Standing Stone" and George kidded Ringo about Paul sending him that as a promo item.
Hilarious - a true belly laugh from Conan. Great spot to end the clip.
Hilarious! I bet Ringo, for half a second, was actually thinking that Paul would do something like that, too (and was going to make some vulgar, caustic, remark about it, in Liverpudlian dialect!).
Great to hear peoples encounter with George, probably one of the most sincere and honest person in the entertainment business the man had a bulshit meter that was impeccable incredibly kind but nobody's fool
Can't get enough of Paul Simon, so love this guy, his songwriting/guitar playing/performing.....
It’s so cool that Simon and Harrison were such good friends, and it’s a shame they didn’t record or write together. Their performances of “Here Comes the Sun” and particularly “Homeward Bound” on SNL in ‘76 are still some of the best music that show has ever produced.
Couldn’t agree more, an album with both of them would be awesome
agreed.
Saw Paul the last time he came to Australia. What a show, what a band and Paul just blew the house down. Probably my greatest live music experience and I'm coming up to 70. Who could not love George?
Paul Simon’s smile as he recalls his time with George Harrison says it all.
Yep!
really digging this George Harrison week
He loved to play the ukulele because on the uke, everything sounded happy to him
I thought it was a tribute to John's mum. She taught John to play the Ukulele/
@@65TossTrap no , George was a fan of George fromby
65 TossPowerTrap I thought she taught John the banjo
Tom Petty had a great story about George giving him a ukulele out of his car trunk which was full of them and saying you just never know when you are going to need one.
super sweet. paul simon is a very thoughtful man
and an incredible songwriter.
very handsome too
Maestro Gradius s wonderfully sensitive man.
He was and is a beautiful soul !!!!!!!!!!!!
It’s great to see Paul smiling and laughing... we don’t get too many opportunities to do that. Great anecdotes too.
That last story was hilarious. George had such a deadpan sense of humor. It's drenched in every interview of his I've ever read or seen.
I always felt that the Beatles had a great influence on music in the 60's and thereafter, but Paul Simon comes right in after them as giving that era it's soul.
Agreed. I would even argue his compositions were on par with those of the Beatles.
Find the set of Paul and George on SNL. It’s incredible.
Yes, when they sang one another's songs. It was quite moving. I adored George Harrison and was saddened by his early death as so many were. I can't begin to imagine what his loss means to Olivia and Dhani.
So glad that he left us with a treasure trove of his work. What I truly miss is his accent and his wicked sense of humor. He was a beautiful man.
Paul and Art touched generations of people.. I still love their music and I'm 52
Right there with you and I'm 63!
All those Beatles boys, they all had a tremendous sense of humour
"Yea, Paul sent it as a promo..." A great example of George Harrison's devious humor.
That story as being told to Ringo by George makes me think he was having a bit of sport regarding Sir Paul's grandiosity. Well played, George.
over all these years Paul still hasn’t lost his beautiful voice.
I'll always remember John Cleese's story about George giving Monty Python money to make either "Holy Grail" or "Life of Brian". Later on Cleese asked him why he did that, was it an investment, just helping out friends, what? George said: "I wanted to see the movie"...
I believe the movie he invested in was Time Bandits
The movie was LIFE OF BRIAN - definitely
Definitely , LIFE OF BRIAN
Harrison's production company was called Dark Horse. It's for certain he funded Life Of Brian. That fact is confirmed. Not sure about Time Bandits.
Life of Brian, he's actually in one of the scenes too. He financed it after EMI pulled out and remortgaged his house and allsorts. I believe Long Good Friday was the first film they distributed, Time Bandits the first they produced. Off the top of my head they also did Bellman and True, Withnail and I, Mona Lisa, Nuns on the Run (dire), Private Function, The Missionary and Water. Quite a decent run in the 80s.
what a pleasant guy, paul. and still with the same voice like in the past, just beautiful.
Same voice, not sure whose face he has now though
I’d love to spend a few hours going through that jukebox. 🎶
If Paul Simon says you are extraordinary.. You are extraextraordinary...
One of the best songwriters in the world here.
It's good knowing we still have people and songwriters like Paul Simon, McCartney, Dylan and Neil Young still living and making music
It's a shame/interesting that Dylan has never done a late night talk show. He's performed, but never sat on the couch. I would love to see him with Letterman or Conan. I don't think any other host would get him. Loved seeing Neil Young on Conan's podcast, though.
@@Pumpkinking64 That's true...I never realized it. Saw him performing on Letterman a number of times over the decades!
I went on a Beatles tour in London and I saw the outside of Friar Park - George had a sign in the front that said "Get the hell Out!" in seven languages. What a crack up! I don't blame him.
I love the stories about George's sense of humour.
Like George was, Paul Simon is one of nature's gentlemen.
George will always be my favorite Beatle!
He was my favorite from the time I saw the Beatles perform on Ed Sullivan 9 February 1964. I was all of 7 years old, but I knew talent when I saw it. Not to mention, he was absolutely adorable with those little dance moves and his smile. Smitten at seven. That was me.
One of my Heroes talking about one of my Heroes!....and some other more Heroes.....excellent!
a legend talking about a legend
Paul Simon's talking voice is melodic.
I love George Harrison. I wish he was still around.
Brilliant. What a class act. This is how a man conducts himself.
...what he's done to his face...not so much
wow! i'd love to know what records are in george harrison's juke box!! paul simon's just as much of a legendary songwriter i think. true greats.
I love George, I love the Beatles.
George Harrison loved the ukulele, and really, what’s not to love? For its dainty size, the uke can make a powerfully cheerful sound, and it’s an instrument both beginners and expert players can learn and easily carry around. As Harrison’s old friend Joe Brown remarked, “You can pick up a ukulele and anybody can learn to play a couple of tunes in a day or even a few hours. And if you want to get good at it, there’s no end to what you can do.” Brown, once a star in his own right, met Harrison and the Beatles in 1962 and remembers being impressed with the fellow uke-lover Harrison’s range of musical tastes: “He loved music, not just rock and roll…. He’d go crackers, he’d phone me up and say ‘I’ve got this great record!’ and it would be Hoagy Charmichael and all this Hawaiian stuff he used to like. George was not a musical snob.”
“Crackers” may be the perfect word for Harrison’s uke-philia; he uses it himself in the adorable note above from 1999. “Everyone I know who is into the ukulele is ‘crackers,’” writes George, “you can’t play it and not laugh!”
In Hawaii, where Harrison owned a 150-acre retreat, and where he was known as Keoki, it’s said he bought ukuleles in batches and gave them away. The story may be legend, but it certainly sounds in character. He was a generous soul to the end.
Who wouldn't love George.
He was the best Beatle.
He was kind, embarrassing and brilliant.
Embarrassing?
That SNL appearance is here on YT. They did Here Comes The Sun and Homeward Bound. They're really understated and relaxed.
You know you're the greatest when M.R Paul Simon says you are.
so funny the last part. ringo is always joking so george did one on him! watch that interview with Aspel. funny as hell. ringo and george
Paul Simon is such a quiet person.
He fights violently with his wife.
@@TooleyPeter Way to rip that episode out of context. Nicely done.
This is one of the funniest stories I have ever heard in my life.
You can be one of the biggest stars in the world and still it’s incredible for them to meet a Beatle.
Agree ! The Beatles changed the world in so many ways, which still effects us to this day !
My favorite Beatle George Harrison ❤️
Paul Simon's appearance on SNL in the turkey suit singing Still Crazy After All These Years was one of the funnies things I've ever seen on the show to this day.
Love that song!
Love George Harrison's sense of humor.
Worth it for the anecdote at the end, love it.
The boulder story is just hilarious. Typical Beatle humour. 😂
He looks like what Jimmy Fallon might look like in 50 years
+Daya Subramanian LOL
+Daya Subramanian Except much more likable.
Except without a fake laugh
+Brandon Haygood And far funnier. Jimmy Fallon is awful.
Michael Durrant Yeah. I don't even consider Paul Simon a very funny guy but he's far funnier than Jimmy Fallen
Great interview, Conan really can provide viewers with truly unique and personal insight in an amusing format.
So you have a musical genius, Paul Simon on your show and all you can ask about is George Harrison. .. Paul Simon you are such a great gentleman !
I feel more affection for Mr Simon as the years roll on by xx
If you actually have listened to The Beatles your whole life like Conan and a lot of people have, you would have laughed just as hard. Because you can just picture George telling that to Ringo in the most serious tone. Why say anything at all if it is just something negative about someone else? You obviously do not understand what George, The Beatles, and Paul Simon's music stood for. It is just unnecessary banter that is best left in your own sad mind. And who down votes this stuff? I would love to chat with these folks, try and cheer them up a bit.
I'm trying to get into listening to the Beatles, do you have any suggestions?
The White Album, Magical Mystery Tour, Revolver, Sgt. Peppers, the list is endless. Definitely start with Revolver.
Sean Anthony As hiram said, start anywhere. Start with what resonates with you, with whatever appeals to you most, and don't force anything upon yourself. Think of it all as dishes created by master chefs. You can start with salads, desserts, main entrees...it doesn't matter. If you don't find it to be so great, you're missing it, so move on. Gravitate toward whatever attracts you most, in natural progression. Nobody can tell you what's "best" for you, because that's personal and subjective.
I was a fan from the time my sister brought the "I Want To Hold Your Hand / I Saw Her Standing There" single home from the record store. They were so *weird* compared to everything else out at the time...yet obviously so good that it didn't matter at all. In fact, their sound and manner turned their strangeness on its head. (You'd have to realise what a conformist, "grey flannel suit" world it was at the time to fully appreciate this.) The attraction wasn't so much that they were different; it was that they were so natural in a world that encouraged people to be artificial.
I loved their happy-go-lucky, "you"-oriented, young love songs, and loved watching as they and their love songs matured. They could have continued in that vein forever as far as I was concerned. During that early period many (if not most) of my friends dropped off the bandwagon, treating them as a fad. When the Beatles became more creative / imaginative / experimental / artistic - and obviously drug-influenced - I wasn't as crazy about it, but stuck with them. Now I love it all, and see it as an integrated whole - and what a ride it was. More happened musically in that span of six Beatle years than has happened since.
Returning to the "cuisine" analogy (appetizers, main courses, desserts, etc.): What are you in the mood for? As with a normal meal sequence, you can go chronologically, in an attempt to recreate the experience, but it probably isn't possible to accomplish that. You can select just the kind of music (happy, serious, harder-edged, whimsical, whatever) you prefer. Or you can deliberately mix it up to experience their range, by contrast. It doesn't really matter. You can't get hurt, or go wrong. There's only so much Beatle material, yet it's so deep.
Have fun. That's what they did, and what they wanted for you.
+Joseph Scott huh? being familiar with their music means you laugh hard at that anecdote? that is a fucking stupid thing to say.
Barbie Reynolds is it "fucking stupid"? Chill Barbie doll. Quit being angry at the world.
I love that it seems Ringo had a modicum of doubt about that joke 😂
My Fav........Beatle........... an seen him Live.........Concert. .......Dark Horse Tour.......Philadelphia. Pa. 1974.... Rock In Peace RIP.....
I'd love to see the juke-box "play-list".
There is a version of Something, by James Brown that is rumored to have been on that jukebox. I know It's on mine :)
The jukebox only played 45's - so if it wasn't on 45 it wasn't on it.
Hey guys, check this album out, www.allmusic.com/album/george-harrisons-jukebox-the-music-that-inspired-the-man-mw0002542452 it is a part of george harrison's actual juke box. And most of the sons on there are either by his close friends like ravi shankar, bobby dylan, or joe brown, some others are classics from the time of his childhood which he plays later in his own life like "rock island line", and the stereos' "i really love you". some others are absolute classics like Chuck Berry's.
I had a look at that and on the list it says George Harrison as Performer on every song which quite clearly is wrong.
legend paul simon~
George was the true talent in the Beatles...as authentic as they get
funny account of Georges humor I'm cryin
its hard to imagine a better song than Only Living Boy in New York
I can’t help but wonder if The Chiffons were on George’s jukebox.
God Bless PAUL SIMON!!
Great sense of humour and witty answers
George was just an amazing person. He was (past tense is difficult) such a talent that he shared with us all.
Paul Simon is on that short list of the great American song writers of the 1960's, along with Brian Wilson, Burt Bacharach, Holland &
Dozier (Motown) Bob Dylan etc; they wrote the sound track for that period
It drives me crazy that they didn't say what was in the jukebox!
+Broken String Records Paul said from George's childhood so probably a lot of 50s rock & roll...
+Broken String Records Well it has to contain Carl Perkins, Elvis Presley, Chuck Berry and perhaps old blues guys, Muddy Water, Elmore James, et al.
+Christopher Kelsall He didnt really listen to old blues i think. Probably carl, elvis, chuck, buddy holly, chet atkins
+Christopher Kelsall Also said with an "English accent" so it probably contained Lonnie Donegan, Cilla Black, The Shadows, Lulu, maybe even some "trad" jazz which was big there in the 50s like Chris Barber...
+Adam Hans George didn't start listening to much Muddy Waters type stuff until about 1968, and after that still liked Chuck Berry etc. better.
I LOVE PAUL AND CONAN AND GEORGE ...I THINK CONAN IS THE GOAT OF LATE TALK SHOW HOST ...SUCH A LIKEABLE GUY .
That's the most relaxed i've ever seen Paul Simon.
Simon's attitude is like: "Oh Yes, yes, *can I go now?*
Frier Park has got to become a museum!!! I demand it!!!
T'would be a pretty thought. I'd fly across the pond just to see it! Peace.
Friar Park might open to the public one day. Has a lot of the stuff Lennon didn't want - including instruments and memorabilia.
If I was ever lucky enough to be in a room with Paul Simon, George, and Ringo, I pray I'd have the sense to keep my mouth shut and just listen. Amazing how these otherwise ordinary men came to possess the wisdom of the ages.
All of the Beatles were and are good people.
thanks for the harrison week!
George not only a fantastic musician. But he put the money up for Life of Brian .The greatest comedy of all time ....What a great lad .
It took me many years to figure out why I’m drawn to George Harrison. It’s his soul. You look into those soul piercing dark eyes and you can see him. Not George Harrison the Beatle. It’s like you were looking directly into his soul.
A little poetry goes a long way in a song.
Oh Paul
We live vicariously.
George was the greatest. Seems everyone who crossed his path became transfixed and part of something wonderful.
Truly funny story about the boulders......
George is an angel I believe, and Paul Simon is an angel too. One over there, one over here.
Paul Simon released his latest record "Stranger to Stranger" just one month ago. You can find several tracks from it here on youtube.. "The Werewolf", "Cool Papa Bell" and "Wristband". Don't forget his co-work with Dion either.. It's called "New York Is My Home". Some complain that these "old guys" are still at it (because they don't sound and write as they did 30-40 years ago).. I am thankful for it!
Är du släkt med Jenny Hägglund i Knivsta?
+ Jag känner faktiskt en medelålders kvinna som heter Jenny Hägglund. Hon kan bo i Knivsta (vet faktiskt inte), men vi är inte släkt haha.
GeorgVanHalen
Medelålders? Tja, vi gick i samma klass, så vi är båda 39 vid det här laget.
Då är det nog inte samma Jenny. Jag vet inte exakt hur gammal denna Jenny (tjejen jag känner är), men skulle chansa mer på 50 + än 39! Antagligen inte samma!
This is the first time I've seen this interview I love it
Paul Simon and the other guy did some fantastic songwriting/performing.
