- Sir Paul, from the 2nd show, both sold out with 17,000, each concert. Best concert I've ever seen...
Venue: Bell Center, Montreal, July 27, 2011.
Tuneage: "Something" is a song by the Beatles, written by George Harrison and released on the band's 1969 album Abbey Road. It was also issued on a double A-sided single with another track from the album, "Come Together". "Something" was the first Harrison composition to appear as a Beatles A-side, and the only song written by him to top the US charts before the band's break-up in April 1970. The single was also one of the first Beatles singles to contain tracks already available on an LP album.
The song drew high praise from the band's primary songwriters, John Lennon and Paul McCartney, with Lennon stating that "Something" was the best song on Abbey Road and McCartney considering it the best song Harrison had written. As well as critical acclaim, the single achieved commercial success, topping the Billboard Hot 100 in the United States and making the top five in the United Kingdom. The song has been covered by over 150 artists, making it the second-most covered Beatles song after "Yesterday". Artists who have covered the song include Phish, Elvis Presley, Frank Sinatra, Ray Charles, James Brown, Shirley Bassey, Tony Bennett, Andy Williams, Smokey Robinson, Ike & Tina Turner, Eric Clapton, Joe Cocker, Isaac Hayes, Julio Iglesias and Neil Diamond. Harrison said his favourite version of the song was James Brown's, which he kept in his personal jukebox.

What a legend George Harrison Is, This Song Is Like 46 Years Old And Is Still One Of Best Songs Around
perfection never dies Luke.
And in the end, he who lives the longest gets to tell his version of the truth! Grasshopper 103BC
Damn right.
51 years old
52 now
George is/was looking down at Paul that day...........smiling
Strawberry fields97 George always looked down on Paul, joke.
Is?
Me too thinking the same ♥️
How do you know that?
❤
“Let’s hear it for Georgie!” My heart. 😭
For real👍
George Harrison could never die when Paul Mc Cartney lives!
Martin Aracon same with John Lennon and also John and George can’t die when Ringo lives to
True lol
Something about this song helps me cope with life's challenges and stops the world for a second...
Rest in pp race George.
Rest in pp race indeed.
Rest in pp race 😢
I love how the drummer tries his best to do Ringo's style. ♥️
Yeah
without getting close to it in any way
Paul's bass playing n the original recording still ranks to me as one of the most inventive bass lines in any pop song ever. Ironically, George didn't particularly like it as he thought Paul over-played on it.
At first, I really liked it, too, but since I know Georges Live-Version of Something (the one from the 70s), i prefer this more simple bass line. Don't know why, because you're right, Paul's one is much more inventive.
I start to like bass sound because of him. His bass lines always fantastic.
the first few notes from paul after the solo finishes are godly.
Leafs Laugh Last Yes he is. He also is an honourable person to remember his "mates" like this.
I believe the recorded version with Paul’s playing is it toned down version of his original bass work… In other words, the first rendition of the bass playingWas more intricate than the one on the recorded version on Abbey Road... Would love to hear that out take
RIP George Harrison 1943-2001
I recently went to Paul’s concert in Sydney, and I bawled my eyes out when he played this song.
I loved the way the people sang along with Paul, beautiful.❤️
A Legendary tribute for George Harrison...sung by another Legend. ..Sir Paul Mc Cartney...Very Nice.
think about this.....paul and george were friends since they were 15 & 16..... where did the time go
In the there lifs and songs
I think even earlier....
me too thinking ♥️
thanks for making me cry....when that guitar solo started and the images of George came on the screens i just couldn't hold the tears....beautiful song, love The Beatles!
I am a person that hates others that sing originals of other singers , but how in Gods name can there be anyone better to do so than Paul. Fantastic!
Always LOVED this song!!!
George Harrison was the best!
Good guy.
Wow, what a huge crowd! Oh how I wish I could watch Paul McCartney perform live in person !
Must be so sad outliving his dear younger brother but life goes on... cherish the good memories and keep giving. Thank you, four beautiful souls for everything! Love.
I've loved each and other Beatles! Thanks Paul for the tribute to George!
Beautiful song! wonderful performance. The Beatles forever.
Carlos Hernán L. R. Thanks George you were the best. love all your songs in the Beatles but l love the Travelling wilberryies
I'm crying 😭😭😭
Love you George, the world miss you so much, wherever you are just know that we will always miss you...
Rest in peace our sweetheart ❤️
I love when Ringo and Paul call him Georgie!!! My heart 😩😭❤️
I love how he doesn't even try to stop the audience from cheering and clapping when he says "let's hear it for Georgie!". He just encourages them. Amazing.
It's Christmas Eve! God bless Paul for singing this tune for George! And God bless Ringo! We miss and love John and George!
Beatles was the best era of rock and roll.
I prefer the Elvis era
I saw Paul live a few months ago. I teared up a little when they played George's solo
This song's pushing 50 and still one of the true favorites
If it's possible for a single moment to balance the hurt and pain of many years then this is that.
Wow!!! What a big and sweet tribute. It makes me emotional and a little teary-eyed.
Only George can do that intro of something so perfectly.
Maaann.. I'm crying watching this. It's beautiful ❤️
Legends get better with time.
Brilliant song..... lovely tribute to George.....when all these guys go? what music will be left ...
Try listening to ben n ben but thes 4 legends music will be an i fluence to future bands
"Thank you, George" :'')
What a beautiful song.. ❤
when 4 boys started to play music and in few years they changed MUSIC
I saw him in Toronto in Oct 2015.....I've seen 100's of concerts before but this was the best.
Saw Paul at Wrigley Field in 2011. One great show. One great performer. And thank goodness Linda was around taking most of those later photos.
This made my already emotional self even more emotional 🥺
Always been my ultimate favorite Beatles song,this performance took it to a whole new level.
I LOVE BEATLES. And im crying watching this😭😭
Gave me goosebumps! Hope he'll come back to Montreal one day
I'm so proud to b Paul's distant cousin. He's so concerned about others and the environment. Wonderful concert Paul! Love it that u sang George's song. He was so funny and endearing and John had that dry humor really catchy. Ringo's song for George is fabulous.
Thats very cool
Beautifull
Thank you Paul!!
I will NEVER get over The Beatles.
One of the best songs of all time beautiful 😊😊😊😊
Great Solo ❤
Here he was a young man pushin' 70. Unreal.
Thank you Paul!!!
A masterpiece of music
I have to fight tears seeing this.
George was my fav Beatle and what an amazing song Somthing was. Love u George xxx
Amazing!!
Legit bawling my eyes out ahh 😭
I'm crying 😔
"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!” Harrison remained upbeat, even during his first cancer scare in 1997, the knife attack at his home in 1999, and the cancer relapse that eventually took his life in 2001. The ukulele seemed a sweetly genuine expression of his hopeful attitude. And after Harrison’s death, it seemed to his friends the perfect way to memorialize him. Joe Brown closed the Harrison tribute concert at Royal Albert Hall with a uke version of “I’ll See You In My Dreams,” and Paul McCartney... " ;-D
MY HEART 😭😭😭😭😭
This song touches my heart so good
It's good to have McCartney with us now.
Thank God for Mr. Thomas Edison and the means of recording music and playing it back or most of us watching this would never have heard this song, nor likely ever heard of George Harrison (if all music had to be live, as it was before Mr. Edison). Imagine the MILLIONS of humans who never got to hear any recorded music in their entire life, before then.
"Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine" -- Jesus
George told his friends that " Something" was actually about Krishna, ( God ) but I couldn't say "He" could I ? I had to say "she" or they'd think I was a poof ( gay ) " ~ From " George Harrison: Behind The Locked Door By Graeme Thomson.
that is gay
Thanks paul for tribute a harrison
Gotta love Montreal's crowd
I love listening Something when elvis presley sing it
Sinatra does a great job too. He said it's the best Love song ever written. High praise indeed.
Wow.... Missing George and his music..
Great! Paul is the Best!
Rest In Peace George!
That's Love and Pure Class
Memorable!
Excelente!!!
me encanta paul y se le nota cuando habla de su antigua banda y que fueron buenos amigos, imaginaros vosotros creando todos esos grandes temas es que tiene que ser una pasada, que buena vida, nosotros no seremos asi pero nos brindan sus sonidos letras musica
Lovely
Im so glad they ripped right into a full version of the song instead of Paul doing just the plunkety plunkety version.
This is always a good song, oh yes!!! Solo sounds good!
3:19 bass *BOOOOOTED*
George, my forever best beatle
This was made a year before I was born 🥺😖💕
Back when Paul could still sing
VERY good
If there was a hearting contest I would win.. I melted at 2:03. Heart racing.....
Without paul,george wont be thebeatles..without george there wont be thebeatles now
Слушаю 1000 раз, в разных вариантах и с разными исполнителями и понимаю, что кроме Битлов никто не исполняет лучше. Да так должно и быть! Харрисон настолько самобытный автор, который не был подвержен коньюктурной истерии, все его композиции удивительны и содержательны! Да и его сотрудничество с Рави Шанкаром сыграло определяющую роль в его творчестве и духовном взрослении.
Forever
Let's hear it for Georgie.
And you too, James...
Relíquia do Rock !
Watched him in San Jose Ca. He played this as a tribute to George and Strawberry Fields Forever for John.
Paul McCartney o único sobrevivente dessa banda fantástica chamada de The Beatles! TANKS LIVERPOOL! ❤
Ringo?
I love Paul McCartney
Good lad, that Paul
FANTASTIC!!! Is GEORGE singing at 4:50
Love how Paul still plays a righty-guitar (notice how the pick-guard is in the wrong place!) strung lefty. With his wealth he could have dozens of guitars with the pick-guard below the hole ... and no one would be the wiser! Half of the Beatles were lefty's living in a righty world. Somehow, I think that made a difference ... don't know why.
The moment at he pointed at george photo😔💖
Paul , I can write, John , I can write, George hold my guitar
And written for Patti Boyd
I love Hmmm😭😭❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤💖💖
Paul McCartney 👍🏼
God I Love ❤️ You Paul
😢 How I wish they had reunited
I think that is the role Paul has to play. He should be one to pay tribute to his friends.
