The only Beatle not caught up in egos. George's connection to all life is a legacy not many can achieve. Thanks for all the beauty you left in this world, George. Love and miss you...
George struggled with both sides of his character, and he certainly had an ego, like all of us do. Watch "Living In the Material World", or read "I Me Mine". get the full story on the 'quiet one'. A great man either way.
Amazing to think that Clapton and Harrison caused each other "so much pain" - and over a woman! But they found the grace to forgive and get through it...
Yes! His vocal and most specially his guitar, made his versions of george's songs are just greatly enjoyable as george's version if not better :) His version of Something (thanks to Paul for nice ukulele and duet vocal), While My Guitar Sweeps (also thankyou Paul), and Isn't It A Pity (Preston is truly fantastic) in Concerr For George are so nice that I gave more listen to those than original one. I think george and eric had the most similar or maybe the most complement passion based on how they were so close, then clash then close again like greatest friend ever. :D
I didn't know George personally. Yet my heart weeps for his loss. Eric Clapton knew George. I can't imagine how much he mourns him. Beautiful tribute. I can feel his love for George in every note and phrase of his guitar solo.
George, always ahead of the game. he wrote this song in the mid sixties, but the rest of The Beatles didn't think it made the grade. Isn't it a pity indeed.
This is an INCREDIBLE version!!! It feels like Eric is really into the song and the love for George in every note and chord. Thanks Eric for this loving tribute!
Wow, what a beautiful version of this underappreciated song. Others may play faster and louder, but no one can put more emotion into each note than Clapton does when he plays.
nessuno sul pianeta terra può suonare così la chitarra ogni stilla sonora è tirata fuori fino all' ultimo questa è grande musica ok mister Clapton nulla da dire weell done
One of my favorite George songs and Eric certainly does it justice. And Doyle's slide is pretty spot on too. It's hard to wrap my head around the fact that Doyle plays with the strings upside down. He's one of a very small group.
This song is nothing to do with Pattie Boyd or Eric Clapton, George wrote it in 1966 before Eric and Pattie had even met! Why do people spread ill informed bullshit?
@Kris Radke what is really sad is you take something like a beautiful version of a beautiful song and inject your own opinions that have no basis for proof.
Such a beautiful rendition of a George Harrison classic! The two young ladies singing backup vocals sound out of this world fantastic!! Almost dream like 😎
George Harrison ... the armonious one ... great musician .. one of the best ever .... on his guitar keyboard a mild soul with an exceptional musical culture ... every song's written by You is a little big masterpiece ... we have taken this acknowledgement too much late ... we had been so stupid ....... sorry Sir George indeed, and Rest In Peace everywhere you are .. during Your masterpieces's listening, our eyes aren't dry but our souls are flying and meeting You
Thats what I always admired about Clapton. On stage he does his thing never trying to be flashy. In concerts with other greats you see him standing at the back doing his magic not seeking the spotlight. Watch the tribute to Dylan for example
@@deanmindock5020 Nina's rendition is beyond reality, it is impossible not te be deeply touched by it. And yes, weeping is unavoidable. The sadness, but also the hope and tremendous empathic beauty will touch everyone.
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 Some things take so long but how do I explain Not too many people, can see we're all the same And because of all the tears, their eyes can't hope to see The beauty that surrounds them, isn't it a pity Isn't it a pity, isn't is 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 Forgetting to give back, isn't it a pity Forgetting to give back, now, isn't it a pity Oh, what a pity, what a pity, pity, pity Oh, what a pity, what a pity, pity, pity Oh, what a pity, what a pity, pity, pity ...
ERIC CLAPTON IS THE MAN!!! I LOVE HIM SO MUCH ONE OF THE BEST GUITARISTS & PLAYS THE BLUES! I SO VERY SORRY WHAT HAPPENED TO HIS SON!! THAT WAS TERRIBLE BUT HE PUT WHAT HAPPENED INTO HIS MUSIC & WHAT A BEAUTIFUL SONG CAME OUT OF IT!!!!!!!!!!! TEARS IN HEAVEN!! HE IS SO HANDSOME & TALENTED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
A heartfelt & inspired version of 1 of George's best tunes, imo. I see Abe Laboriel Jr. on drums & Doyle Bramhall on guitar. A mighty fine kick-ass band too.
Hello to Japan... Thank's for your comentario. Two great people - George and Eric... that's Musik pur. I'm an old german man and I'm living since a lot of years in the Carib. You can answer me to: pgiebfried390@gmail.com - ok?!
No, because regarding his believe as a practitioner of Hindu tradition god called him home at the right time. Now George's soul gets ready for another incarnation. His music will remain! Your thought is typical for christianity, the jewish or the muslim tradition.
Everyone mentioning Paul's drummer Abe who is in fact wonderful but I haven't seen to many mentions for Willie Weeks on bass who was also on a few George albums. Kudos to Willie as well.
There is a great story behind this song. George tried to get it on one of their Beatles albums. But Clapton was included in the second version with George, and he has mastered it ever since.
Eric is so smooth...This song epitomizes what a great blues man he is and what talent he and his band have. I think the bassist is Willie Weeks instead of Nathan East and Doyle Bramhall II is a great second string slinger. The backups are great as always and Chris Stanton(?) on the keys is always a presence.
Emocionante ao extremo! Uma interpretação cheia de sentimento, que só poderia ser feita por alguém que capaz de cantar com carinho e emoção uma canção de seu melhor amigo. É difícil ter uma homenagem tão linda e singela!
The only Beatle not caught up in egos. George's connection to all life is a legacy not many can achieve. Thanks for all the beauty you left in this world, George. Love and miss you...
Ringo no ego
George struggled with both sides of his character, and he certainly had an ego, like all of us do. Watch "Living In the Material World", or read "I Me Mine". get the full story on the 'quiet one'. A great man either way.
and the quite one he was a good bass player next to McCartney
@@walrusdarko9596 Correct. Huge heart though.
My sweet George , world 🌎 was a better place with him in it ..
Eric clapton... The only one that may sing George' song so well..
Amazing to think that Clapton and Harrison caused each other "so much pain" - and over a woman! But they found the grace to forgive and get through it...
They didn't, Michael.....there was no animosity at all!!!!
One of the very few living artists fit to perform a Harrison song.
True!
👍🏼

agree 100000000000000000000000000000000000% Still enjoy the Original Song by George from his old but fantastic album of the same title.
The Three Degrees version of this song blew this out of the water....but....they were three black girls, so....no one paid attention to it...
I didn't know George personally. Yet my heart weeps for his loss.
Eric Clapton knew George. I can't imagine how much he mourns him.
Beautiful tribute. I can feel his love for George in every note and phrase of his guitar solo.
He also knew George’s wife, a bit too well.

the way eric clapton plays.. it's like he never gets old..
He gets old , his fingers don't
Man,he just nails it here. Such beautiful playing.
maybe my favourite thing I've seen Eric do in a long while
oh George...
God bless you, Eric. One of George's closest friends. Just a beautiful version of a beautiful song.
The
Exactley...and it's all in Pattis autobiography. Takes two though.
This song is nothing to do with Pattie Boyd or Eric Clapton, George wrote it in 1966 before Eric and Pattie had even met!
Why do people spread ill informed bullshit?
People do that every day ! Good job in bringing it to light Clive !

What a beautiful version of George's song,so masterfully done. This is the reason the guitar was invented.
It's not the guitar, it's the guitarist.
Wow!!! Who can give justice to this song for George Harrison but Eric...😢❤
Beauty and then some...😮
Those women's voices are pure heaven.
Performed about 8 years after George died. And I’m watching this about 8 years after it was performed. 16 years ago we lost a legend
And I am reading your reply five years after you posted it....George is no less loved now. Thank you.
a stunning and moving rendition of George's song, Eric Clapton left a piece of his heart on that stage that night.
Beautiful, Eric. Another heartfelt tribute to a dear old friend, gone much too soon. Thanks.
George Harrison ... the armonious one ... great musician .. one of the best ever .... on his guitar keyboard a mild soul with an exceptional musical culture ... every song's written by You is a little big masterpiece ... we have taken this acknowledgement too much late ... we had been so stupid ....... sorry Sir George indeed, and Rest In Peace everywhere you are .. during Your masterpieces's listening, our eyes aren't dry but our souls are flying and meeting You
Beautiful version of this so beautiful George' s song Love Eric and love George 💖💖
Eric looks exactly like some middle aged man driving to work in a normal shirt... He rocks! Long live Clapton
One with a hundred million bucks in the bank lol
Thats what I always admired about Clapton. On stage he does his thing never trying to be flashy. In concerts with other greats you see him standing at the back doing his magic not seeking the spotlight. Watch the tribute to Dylan for example
Clapton is rock's greatest guitarist. He plays so cleanly, not for note and chord for chord. He makes it look it effortless.
Jeff Beck is on a level above old Clappers.
George ,I miss you,
and Eric thank you beautiful song .
It doesn't get any better than this.
Please stay in health, Eric I really want to see your playing for 20 years more
That drummer bass couple is nailing it every step of the way..What a band and what a genius eric clapton
Wonderful version of George’s song. Thank you Eric! Nice to see Abe from Paul McCartney’s band on drums, one of the best.
Stunning. I never knew. Eric really really captures what George was feeling I think. Beautiful and true to heart Solos. Thank Eric & band.
Listen to Nina Simone's rendition and see if you can not weep. We live in a world that seems peace is for wimps. Very sad indeed.
Clapton always captures the essence of the piece; that's his genius.
@@deanmindock5020 Nina's rendition is beyond reality, it is impossible not te be deeply touched by it. And yes, weeping is unavoidable. The sadness, but also the hope and tremendous empathic beauty will touch everyone.
Eric loved George so much.
Eric really did and in return George loved him too. They shared a very rare and unbreakable bond, truly beautiful.
💙🎸💙
George would be over the moon!
10 YEARS LATER...what a classic...thank you, Eric...THANK YOU, GEORGE!
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
Some things take so long but how do I explain
Not too many people, can see we're all the same
And because of all the tears, their eyes can't hope to see
The beauty that surrounds them, isn't it a pity
Isn't it a pity, isn't is 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
Forgetting to give back, isn't it a pity
Forgetting to give back, now, isn't it a pity
Oh, what a pity, what a pity, pity, pity
Oh, what a pity, what a pity, pity, pity
Oh, what a pity, what a pity, pity, pity
...
Love the way Eric sings. So natural. Pure talent.
ERIC CLAPTON IS THE MAN!!! I LOVE HIM SO MUCH ONE OF THE BEST GUITARISTS & PLAYS THE BLUES! I SO VERY SORRY WHAT HAPPENED TO HIS SON!! THAT WAS TERRIBLE BUT HE PUT WHAT HAPPENED INTO HIS MUSIC & WHAT A BEAUTIFUL SONG CAME OUT OF IT!!!!!!!!!!! TEARS IN HEAVEN!! HE IS SO HANDSOME & TALENTED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
One of my favorite Harrison songs - and this rendition does it justice (Eric and Doyle on the dual guitar parts)!
George admittedly wrote this for and about Pattie Boyd. Beautifully done Eric!
Well done love it all !! Thank you mr. Eric Clapton and all musicians back up singers !! FLINT MI
Something about Clapton singing Harrison songs that does it for me.
The Greatest Songs are born out of either Great Pain, or Great Happiness, or Both!
THANKS Eric!!!!!!! George is smiling in someplace else..
A heartfelt & inspired version of 1 of George's best tunes, imo. I see Abe Laboriel Jr. on drums & Doyle Bramhall on guitar. A mighty fine kick-ass band too.
I can't get enough of the beautifulness of this song, my feeling is always as the very first time I listen to it!
The drummer is Paul McCartney's drummer, Abe.
Steve K, I started to ask about the drummer prior to seeing your comment.
yeah, you can't really miss that guy, can you?
Dude's a powerhouse. Saw Paul in Chicago. Really lays the foundation.
And Beatles songs don't hurt either. aha
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abe_Laboriel_Jr.
I thought that was him....
Wonderful George Harrison's song !
Thank you Eric !
from Osaka Japan.
Hello to Japan... Thank's for your comentario. Two great people - George and Eric... that's Musik pur. I'm an old german man and I'm living since a lot of years in the Carib. You can answer me to: pgiebfried390@gmail.com - ok?!
Greatest cover till now !!!For a divine song !!!!!!!Thank you George ! !!!!Bravo Eric !!!!
No man, this one's wonderful but listen to Nina Simone's!!
Breaks my heart. RIP dear George. ❤️
Great, great cover of a great song by George.
Isnt it a pity, Isnt it a shame.......how George isnt physically with us anymore?
His music still remain till the end of time. George achieved the eternity
Indeed ... he would have been 78yo at the time I wrote this comment.
No, because regarding his believe as a practitioner of Hindu tradition god called him home at the right time. Now George's soul gets ready for another incarnation. His music will remain! Your thought is typical for christianity, the jewish or the muslim tradition.
Look at the emotion he puts on the solo. He's just like a kid full of joy. That's beauty.
Keeping his friend's music alive. Wonderful! Thanks for the video. I love it.
A Masterpiece played exceptionally by a Master Guitarist!
Just a great performance to a great song of George Harrison.
George Harrison, RIP. Your music is from the Heaven! This is the third-best song of all time with Something and My Guitar. Awesome!!!!
Another stellar performance to add to the collection. Thank you EC.
Everyone mentioning Paul's drummer Abe who is in fact wonderful but I haven't seen to many mentions for Willie Weeks on bass who was also on a few George albums. Kudos to Willie as well.
I've seen this drummer at a couple of McCartney tours & videos also! He's very good.
A fine tribute to George. Eric always acknowledged Harrison's ability. Cheers Eric.
Love this song.
There is a great story behind this song. George tried to get it on one of their Beatles albums. But Clapton was included in the second version with George, and he has mastered it ever since.
It takes a special type of greatness to through what those two guys got through and stay friends to the end
04:16 The guitar crying... chills me to the bone everytime!
I9
Beautiful tribute to his best friend. This made me weep a bit (no pun intended).
Siento mucho pero creo que lloraré ! Una magnífica y emotiva interpretación !
Yo ya estoy llorando ...
For many years i just keep listening but didn't realize how good as a musician George really was
Monstruo de la música! Desde el primer acorde llegas al alma! Un lujo el tema de George Harrison! Inmortal, emocionante y lleno de ternura!
Some mighty fine musicians playing a mighty fine song.
Gorgeous Song , George would proud for sure .
The best simply a poetry that melts the heart and soul
Thanks 4 reminding us about the 🎶🎵"TAXMAN" .😉 🎸💰💵💸💲
Beautiful version and tribute!
oh my god i love this
Eric is so smooth...This song epitomizes what a great blues man he is and what talent he and his band have. I think the bassist is Willie Weeks instead of Nathan East and Doyle Bramhall II is a great second string slinger. The backups are great as always and Chris Stanton(?) on the keys is always a presence.
Amen.... what a nice pair. So sad to see these days go.... never to return.....
keyboards Chris Stainton
Truly beautiful. Thankyou. 🌸💞🌸
he is missing George Harrison so sad for all of us
we all do . . .
Wow!!! This was wonderful!
Wow this is probably one of Eric’s all time great performances. Fabulous!
thanks, great performance
I love the space he left in the production. Killer, thank you for sharing this.
freaking awesome
Wonderfully done... We miss you George 💔 RIP
When you sang this song a few years ago and said this is for someone who should be with but he is here I😢❤ lost it.
Beautiful! 👏👏👏
Nice ! Peter Frampton covers it very well too. Thanks George✌🏼
This version gave me goose bumps
Bloody beautiful!
Fantastic...
The build on this is fantastic
2019 So heart wrenching in 2009 and so relevant now in an ugly and perilous time in the USA.
No words ... Hat off!
Beautiful ❤❤❤
Superba melodie ca de alt fel sute ale acestui muzician magnific. gaby
I see Mccartneys drummer Abe is helping Clapton out. He is a lucky guy playing with two living legends.
I bet George was there listening......👏👏👏👏👏👏
No one but Slowhand can make a guitar sounds that way. Thank you for share this masterpiece polythenepepper
Beautiful......
I love how the song is so dark and sad and yet Eric’s sky blue guitar agains his white shirt brings hope
Awesome!
What a great song it is!
Emocionante ao extremo! Uma interpretação cheia de sentimento, que só poderia ser feita por alguém que capaz de cantar com carinho e emoção uma canção de seu melhor amigo. É difícil ter uma homenagem tão linda e singela!
Amazing, if i ever get the chance to meet my Hero, I'll probably faint dead at his feet :) Love you Eric for doing this song.
Just beautiful.....George...Clapton&Abe.....
Fantastic lyrics.
