I like this memory of George Harrison 1st show in North America since the Beatles broke up.
Great promo man one of my best friends, a good human being his brother Jim to I miss them so much
Didn't understand a word of this.
But I could sit happily listening all day long x
What a great story!!!
Great story! I've known Bob since I was 17 . If he likes you and doesn't feel uptight he's terrific to be with and he obviously felt a good vibe with you!
Hey Smokie, 68 yrs old in England, i love Dylan anecdotes, and always had great respect for him, i had a message the other day from hom, but i think it was fake, why would someone do that, does he ever txt people out of the blue, you seem like a genuine kind person. Nigel.
@@nigelbrickell4936 you think this person is kind from a TH-cam comment?? Why are Dylan fas so nuts,?? It explains why he hates you all
You don't know Dylan stop being a femme fan boy
So enjoyed that story. I was lucky enough to interview both George & Bob & I can sooooo identify with the initial "holy shit" feeling upon meeting them....and it turns out, if you talk to them honestly, things go well.
The best Bob Dylan and George Harrison stories from the first person I've ever heard 💙 ❤ thanks 🆒️ 😊 🫂 🙏
You had me hanging on every word. I've heard many different stories from you over the years but this takes the cake! The fact that you ingratiated yourself to Dylan is a miracle in itself. Nice music bed at the end, btw, one of my favorite George songs.
You can thank Dale for all the inserts . She's the best.
Yep @davidwebster. Me too. I hung on every word. Like you I thought I'd seen/heard everything on Harrison , but yeah small bits in this video were new to me...and I've got ADGHoGHD[**

What an astonishing story of an experience that is almost otherworldly. I can not remember the last time I was so rapt by an entertainment narrative. THANK YOU, for posting it.
What a cool story. Couldn't stop listening!
That was a great story! Hanging with legends…
Thank you so much for this very human tale. I grew up with These best of musical friends, eve if they didn’t invite me to hang out. Feel like I know ‘Em a little better.
Thank you for telling me about your time spent with George and Bobby.
I met Bobby too,
we were both still quite young.
I guess he hasn’t changed.
I wouldn’t know, but for what I read and in his music & lyrics, as I haven’t had a chance or an opportunity to see him since, in 50 years. Sadly …as I fell in love with him too, surly…for so is his pull on choice hearts. And is
true of woman that gazed into “those eyes” and found depths of love unknown to them …❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥

I love TH-cam! This popped up on the 'sidebar' when I was watching an Otis Gibbs video fro his station. Back in the day we would only been able to read about something like this in a magazine. So cool to be able to see people talk about things like this.
I smiled so many times. Thank you
What a great story. Thanks for sharing!
Fabulous stories , you lucky man. What a great job to have had. I don’t blame you for remembering every turn of events. Really enjoyed hearing your memories. Will keep an eye out for more , thankyou Regds mark waters in the uk
ABSOLUTELY LOVED THIS STORY AND VIDEO!
What a super cool story.
I love these stories. Please keep them coming.
Great promo man one of
Rich, such a delightful, heart warming, heroic human soulful story! I love your heart & your friends too remembering we are all human, we all have needs & wants. You explained how his music impacted you but your sons even more impactful, which in turned was Bobs prayer & hope that his music or any musician (worth their salt & light) reaches the next generation. Thank you for sharing with us all.
gotta love it!
Great upload love the story. Wish I could have been there too.
Great story
Just randomly watching videos after listening to "Political World" and I stumble across this incredible, incredible story - expertly told. You made my evening, thank you.
what a great story so well told! thoroughly enjoyed it.
Brilliant thanks
Great story. Thanks for sharing..
What a wonderful story! Really gives credence to the adage that you should always be yourself!
My god what a fantastic story. You really get a sense of who George and Bob were and what they were really like. I would love to hear your son's thoughts on the MSG '74 show. The Oakland, CA show (next to last show of the tour, I believe) was MY first concert . . .
Many thanks for this.
Great story - even better than Michael Douglas's story about meeting George and Bob.
Bob was a patient in the hospital where I worked. He was under his real name. One of the physicians told me which room he was in. No security no special treatment at all. He was being treated for a pretty serious illness but recovered fully.
Was it during the late 90s?
@@jrodriguez6 yes 1996 or 1997. The hospital is on Long Island and he was admitted under the name Robert Zimmerman. We saw many celebrities during summer months because many summered in The Hamptons and this hospital was the only level 1 trauma center closest to the Hamptons. He wasn’t my patient but news travel Ed fast.
@@NYCgirl927 Interesting. It was right before "Time out of mind", his comeback album. It was a serious health scare, it's great that he made it another 25 years in good health, touring and recording.
@@jrodriguez6 he had something wrong with his heart. Yes I agree that it is very cool Bob recovered and went on to tour and made some great music.
Don't do this to me😁; thinking of three possible hospitals🤷♀️ Do I get a hint?😁
GREAT AGAIN ! ...RICH .... ALWAYS THE MAN !!!!

Wow that George Harrison song , "Give me Love Give me Love Give me Peace on Earth , give hope help me cope with that heavy load " I am 64 and it takes me back so may years .
That was an amazing story. I wasn't sure if I could watch it for the whole 13 minutes but I was mesmerised
Oh man, I needed to hear that story. Still smiling.
Too Good! Killer story!1 Thank you, the human side of it all🤩
The best story I've heard in a long long time. Thanks!
Great story! I'd love to hear more like this.

Very cool! Thanks!
FANtastic! You must be Irish with your storytelling abilities, but I know (guess) your Albanian!🇦🇱 “ Wait, you want me to…cos’ you lost your phone book?” Priceless!😄
Ps. I’m saddened to read Richard is no longer with us,all the best to him and family.😢
Thank You.
Great story!!! 👍
What a memory. ❤
This is one of your greatest interviews. I’m a big fan of cousin Kenny and his anecdotes, but this is deluxe. Otis, you’re the man!
Great story matey! thank-you :)
Awesome
That was so cool and dignified
that was great..
George was my favorite Beatle.
GREAT ...There was also a lot of coke on that George '74 tour ~ incase you haven't guessed
Pat Luce!....😂😂😂....Rich! They sent you cuz you were the best and the nicest!....
Man i bet George was so nervous meeting Dylan
Why did Dylan take to Rich?
Actually it's not complicated..
I'd say Bob Dylan is shy and inhibited, he lives within and is uncomfortable in his own skin.
This man made him feel comfortable no perceived threat,
he picked up on his energy and felt relaxed around him.
The same happened with George.
Some people you meet are like that.
I picked it up in this man and maybe that's why he was sent.?
That man was so cute
Not sure if you're misremembering or what, Richard, but Toronto was not the first stop on the Dark Horse tour. Vancouver was, on 2 November 1974.
he's so unaffected. it's easy to see why these greats befriended him.
Great story! I'd like to read your son's essay.
He looked better back then, o hope
Did they stay at the Royal York?
Did you ever meet Herb Alpert while working for AM ? What was he like ?
There is a great documentary about him on Hotdocs!
Getting stoned with Bob Dylan. Damn!
George Harrison grateful guy how about that Harry Garcia Mother NEWS Bound Train Riding Story Teller w his Guitar he wore as a neckless
good story
keep talkin
im in the appreciation business
cheers
aloha
thank you for you
I have been a big fan of the Beatles and an amazing follower of Bob Dylan with his incredible poetry and his amazing songs.
George as a single performer did not have the same power and change as Bob or the Beatles.
His voice and lyrics were amazing but not life changing or world breaking new ground.
An ordinary performer taking his power base from his part of the Beatles.
My Sweet Lord stands out and will always be a favourite of mine.
Life changing Dylan has extraordinary power and inspiration to the world.
One thing for sure there was probably a lot of reefer being smoked around that time
Very COOL STORY!… and …#FukPatLuce
The second T in Toronto is silent, that's just because Canadians talk funny. Cheers eh, great story.
I think Paul McCartney's first joint came from Bob Dylan.
I saw Harrison at Madison Square Garden in '74. His voice was shot, sounded like sh*t.
Sounds like Dylan has had enough BS conversations with people talking a lot but saying nothing. Hearing someones actual truthful experiences must be refreshing
Both Dylan and the guys in The Band had mixed feelings about that 1974 tour. Sure it was "fun times" to be on the road together again, but they were both very much not in great shape and only participating as a cynical cash grab.
Should've been better than it was. Dylan made up for it tenfold with Rolling Thunder a year later though.
I have no life
Is Bob Dylan woke?
