Paul is playing a 1920’s Gibson Tenor Ukulele that was gifted to him by George. George Harrison had a very impressive ukulele collection, including two of George Formby’s banjo ukuleles.
🎶love this 🎶 music by 4 top🎸musicians 💟bella melody💝
Angus Lamont, yes I believe George was very generous and frequently gave them away to people. I know he taught Tom Petty to play the ukulele.
Lynsey C Yes I think Jeff Lynne has a few too.
You just made this video so much better :D thanks
THE URANIUM CAFE Well it seems like news to some people here.
The fact that Paul is playing an ukulele because it was George's favorite instrument melts my heart
th-cam.com/video/LGDqBlMc860/w-d-xo.html
Actually apparently that one was given to him by George, 1920's Gibson Tenor Ukulele
Hola, Juanin. Te extraño.
Clapton did not even play lead guitar???? PUSSY
@@timbosam It was nothing to do with being a pussy, Eric organised this concert and was musical director..he didnt want it to become self indulgent or 'The Eric Clapton Show' he wanted the focus to be on George's music
The transition from the ukulele to a full band is one of the most beautiful musical transitions ever performed. Eric and Pauls vocals are stunning here, blending perfectly.
Jeff Lynn's vocals are pretty good, too!
@@williambagley5415 Absolutely and I loved him doing "Wah Wah" at the end of the concert
You are so spot on right about this!
AGREE - 100%
Its really touching to see george's best mates play this tune with so much love.
"Concert for George" is an incredible DVD. The fact that with a band this size you can still hear every individual player is a testament to the genius of the production.
Yes. Agreed. Very well put together.
Watch it every year on the anniversary. Listen to the music year round. George left so much love and beauty. Concert for George was a fitting tribute.
Jesus Christ Paul McCartney, Eric Clapton, Ringo Starr and Jeff Lynne in the same building! How did the world not collapse from awesomeness!?
Don't forget to include Tom Petty and Jim Keltner. They were awesome enough to be invited in that exclusive club known as the Traveling Wilburys.
Jesus was there? That is more than awesome!
God was there, Albert Lee in the background.
i dont know, iiiiiiii dont knooowww
@@TheRescuesRule Agree!
Clapton: Who do you think of when you sing this song
Harrison: My wife
Clapton: Me too

:0
George: John's Wife.
John: Nobody likes a smart aleck.
Was pattie in the audience?
LMAOOOOO
Olivia Harrison thought Eric should do this song solo. Paul had been doing it on ukelele during his shows, and wanted to do it. This was the compromise, and it turned out to be a masterpiece! Beautiful version.
rob morrison - I liked how this turned out. It seemed appropriate that Paul, who contributed more to the song than anyone after George, take the lead. This was arguably George’s most important Beatles song, and one Paul admired. Paul’s contributions to the studio version were great and his performance here was quite special.
Kinda weird of her considering It's a Beatles song and Paul plays bass and sings backup vocals on it.
@@dariene1926 , Not really. Eric and George remained close, and they were both married to the same woman the song was written for. Both wrote songs with her as the insperation.
rob morrison woah wtf 🤣
Heda Kom Trikru Yep, this song was written for Patti Boyd, George’s then wife. She left him for Eric Clapton. He wrote both Derek and the Dominoes’ Layla and his solo song Wonderful Tonight about her. And despite that George and Eric remained friends.
This is one of my favorite videos on TH-cam. When Eric and Paul harmonize at 3:11…. I can’t help but get emotional.
I get chills every time
Faux Paul has no voice...the real voice was lost
@@rytvdinners5064 shush
Their voices really do complement each other’s well.
McCartney and Clapton on stage together my God does it get any better than that?
When Eric and Paul harmonize in the bridge, it's pretty much perfect.
Gui Porto actually it was Jeff Lyne (ELO) harmonizing first then Eric and Paul then Eric and Jeff again 🙂
Seth Regan
Right.
Gui Porto: I think Eric's singing was more suited to this song than Paul's on this occasion even though I consider Paul's voice as extraordinary.
Gave me chills. Nailed it so good.
The highlight of the song!
"George's 'Something' is the greatest love song of the past 50 years".
Frank Sinatra
Also written by Lennon-McCartney according to him
Pretty sure he credited it to Lennon-McCartney by accident lol
Frank didn’t know. He probably heard it was written by The Beatles and just assumed that Lennon-McCartney wrote it because they wrote the majority of their hits.
Released: 6th October 1969 Today is March 3rd 2020, so your '50 years' is false. 50 years would be at the latest 6th October 2019.

John stated that when George left the Beatles (temporarily) during the Let It Be recordings, I believe, he thought that if anyone was going to come in to replace George that it would be Clapton. In this brief duo between he and Mac you could tell that, while not George, he would have blended in nicely with the other 3.
@@barryw2659 That's so interesting to hear. I know Clapton was close with them and collaborated on a few things. I've heard of him referred to as a candidate for the "5th Beatle", though I think that goes to George Martin hands down, with Billy Preston in second place.
yessss
Jesus, Paul McCartney is an absolute genius.
I prefer Clapton He's awesome also

@@Pink_Freud_Obscured_By_Crowds Fala ai, amigo.
Nesses tipos de shows ( homenagens, premiações e etc ) fico meio confuso. Várias guitarras, violões, teclados e nessa apresentação tinham três bateristas fora os percussionistas.
Mauro Luiz cara foda-se oque você acha !!! Serve para poder encorpar a sonoridade em concertos ! E outra coisa, todas essas pessoas que estão aí são músicos que já tocaram na banda do George harrison
3:39 that sax player has waitin that part for whole career
Lmaaaooo
But screw it.
I just watched an interview with that sax player, Jim Horn. He was there because he played on several of George's albums. In fact, he played on each individual Beatle's solo album. Quite a resume that musician has; nice guy too.
Hilarious! Lol he nailed it!
catnc1 thanks for the info! Definitely sounded like a pro
there's something about seeing an older Paul McCartney, playing a ukulele with an equally older Eric Clapton that's so endearing. The build up is breathtaking.
The Great Pyramid of Giza,
The Hanging Gardens of Babylon,
The Temple of Artemis at Ephesus,
The Statue of Zeus at Olympia,
The Mausoleum at Halicarnassus,
The Colossus of Rhodes,

And only the Pyramids of Giza remain.
And Clapton
AND ERIC CLAPTON !!!!
My Johnson

"Dad, why is my sister called Rose?"
"Because your mother loves roses."
"Thanks Dad."
"No problem, Eric Clapton and Paul McCartney singing the Chorus of Something and looking at each other."
Actually this is bridge
Fuckin hilarious 😆
Ringo Starr is also there
Jajajajajaja
Who has that big name 😂😂
How a 25 year old lad from Liverpool can write the most wonderful love song is amazing. God bless you George
Deep and moving expression of love
Did you ever see that interview with Dhani where he talks about having gone to Military academy to be in the Royal Air Force. (I mean, how DO you rebel against two Hippy parents?) He finished that with a Masters degree.
So he said to George, "Hey you've got to hand it to me, I did all that at 23 years old!" at which George went "Well what was I doing at 23..." at which his eyes began to gleam "I was doing 'Sgt Peppers'." Putting Dhani's accomplishment into perspective.
Yup, George did ALL of that before reaching 30.
what lad means? I don't know English slangs 😔
@@davidomingos3479 "Lad" is English slang for "Boy", "Dude."
The female form is "Lass" or "Lassie"
Eric Clapton involved in performing a song about his wife with a prior husband.... They are all so embracing. I lived in awesome times. Thanks for the share.
The same could be said about Paul playing along to the song "wah wah" a song George wrote to complain about him
All you need is Love ❤️
For regular people it would have neen scandalous, but for a Beatle and Clapton, well, what's so scandalous? Indeed, George and Eric were/are extra special people.
“Thanks for the share”
That’s what eric said!
Sorry, i couldn’t resist. Also something eric would have said! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I’ll stop now!
Musicians seem to be amazingly special people. George and Eric certainly are proof of that.
And as soon as it ends, my brain starts singing, "Joan was quizzical, studied pataphysical
Science in the home ..."
Me too. How many copies of Abbey Road did you wear out?
I called it the side effects of only listening to albums.
@@cmdnrcks Oh shit. I just read this comment a day later and have that song stuck in my head again. As weird as Maxwell's Silver Hammer is, it's a catchy tune.
LOL😆 Same here.
@@markgigiel2722 - Too many! My original has the apple in the centre!
Yeah Paul and Eric are great, but can we talk about how stressful it must be to mix every instrument in the world?!?!? Props to the engineers who make this stuff happen!!!!
yeah there's like 4 drummers!
It was worth every minute of it.
Paul: “oh yeah we got another guitarist for the concert”
Engineer: “not this shit again that’s the tenth one”
Jeff Lynne mixed the whole thing. Tremendous job!
Mixing 100 tracks ist just fun.
If you’re gonna ask someone to cover one of the greatest love songs of all time, these are the right people to ask.
*the greatest
The only people
This is one of the best live versions of this song specially this concert for George Harrison I mean this one should be for the record the Guinness Book of World Records
Vor allem hat George dieses Lied für die Frau geschrieben, die dann Eric Clapton geheiratet hat.
Frank Sinatra said it was the greatest love song in 50 years …
There is something about seeing Eric Clapton and Paul McCartney playing together, along with Jeff Lynn and Albert Lee with Ringo on the drums that does my heart good.
And is that Billy Preston on the organ?
Yes, it is Billy
The voice on McCartney in the bridge is just unbelievable. Dude was sixty years old at the time belting those high harmonies to utter perfection like it's nothing at all.
For real, that's how you know he's a true legend
He’s amazing
The description says 2017, he's much older than 60 if that's that case
Just stunning
@@paulphoenix1669 well. This concert was held back in 2002. That time Paul was around in his 60's.
Two of the best Beatles songs ever written, “Something” and “Here Comes the Sun”. Both by the “quiet Beatle”
You forgot the third one, Wile my guitar gently weeps.
@@vvnpjeva That song is probably my favorite, especially after I saw Harrison Jr. and the rest of the Beatles perform it live.
Hey Jude
Arguably
@@alexlayton2735 - Paul McCartney
This concert was an absolute MASTERPIECE. A genuine tribute to George.

Do you want to hear a secret?
My sweet lord
While my guitar gently weeps
George himself tried his best
@@christinab.2864 Here Comes the Sun too
Perfect
2:13 that moment when the vocal harmony kicks in, speechless
0:55 the transition from ukulele to full orchestra is so beautiful!!! Also seeing Eric Clapton and Paul McCartney singing this song is giving me chills!
Amen!
Agree! especially here 1:31 when the full orchestra explodes! what a great transition
I have goos bomb s
Paul McCartney’s harmonies take this song, like many others, to a new level.
Stick around it may show
absolutely! if he is your backup singer, you will instantly sound out of this world
I think it's actually Clapton who has the best vocals here
@@Simon-oy7kf - Very true considering Paul's upper range ain't what it used to be.
Agree 100%
Ringo Starr will play the drums for all your shit even if you don't acknowledge his participation. That's a true team player right there.
He goes allright that Mr Starkey!!!
luckiest man in rock n roll!
james sollazzo - What do you mean ?
Ringo is the star!, he is always there guiding every band collaboration and plus he doesn't age.
john lemon
This is beautiful. The irony of Eric Clapton Singing something about Patti Boyd, both Clapton and George Harrison "shared the same wife" as George put it. Paul and Eric harmonizing is lovely. RIP George
This might be George's best song, and regardless of the author, it might be one of the top X Beatles songs. Damn, it might even be one of the best songs of all time, which I believe it is. And George has his place in the Heaven of songwriters for it.
But damn, some day Paul will die and we will slowly realize that we witnessed the life of one of the best musicians of the history of mankind. What a beast.
One of? He’s fuckin Paul McCartney no one comes close. Only elvis but he was more of an image
I hope a lot of us already realize that! I know I sure do! ❤
When Paul goes that will be the end to good music. Hes blessed us for so many years with so many incredible songs!
Yeah. Beatles, Wings, solo stuff... love all of his iterations. Gems in each.
@@skylarsa but Paul died in 199.... jk I dont believe that crap
The bit where McCartney and Clapton sing in harmony is totally epic!
1:33 World's most famous drummer just realizes he's holding three drumsticks
OMG HAHAHAHAHA
He was swapping from brushes to sticks
0:45
And doesn’t know how to end it 4:08
Best comment lol
Jeff Lynn's backing vocals nailing it as icing on the cake
He has such a sweet and elegant voice
Yeah but Clapton looks like he didn't want him there
@@johnwalsh3317seems like he's was just focusing on Paul
@@johnwalsh3317watch the end of this video and you’ll understand that Clapton felt emotionally during this performance. There’s always someone tryna find a negative aspect of a beautiful performance and gathering of absolute greats.
3:17 the vocal harmony that McCartney does to Clapton is glorious.
Yes, but let's not leave out Jeff Lynne's harmony on the verses....
For real, it's impressive that Paul still has such an extensive range.
@@silverfoot6079 Don’t forget this is twenty years ago.
@@handle-schmandle saw him live 5 days ago, still incredible (even better in person than from crappy phone recordings you may have seen)
@@kevingillespie5242 Ah man I am jealous. Good for you. One of my big regrets is not seeing Paul at some point over the years. Good to hear he still sounds good; there’s been a lot of commentary that he doesn’t. Btw I wasn’t being critical with my other comment; just giving context. ☮️
I don’t know if anyone else noticed the legendary Jeff Lynne also playing guitar and harmonizing.
been just wondering if nobody cares right now, while scrolling the comments :D
Of course I noticed! And his connection to George (as fellow Wilbury and producer) and Paul (producer) are also noted.
Obviously we seen him and ringo
You mean that mankind looking mf?
Absolutely. Jeff's voice is one of my favorites. Been an ELO fan since 1980.
Clapton should be more highly regarded for his singing. Just terrific.
Yep, everyone thinks of his amazing guitar playing when they hear the name Eric Clapton. But his voice and singing is also absolute top level.
Kendall Ruff Absolutely right, he has a great soulful voice!
@Shane Hunter could not disagree more. sure his range is limited, but so is his guitar playing compared to many others. Not the point. He is an original..and sings with great finesse.
@@kendallruff8090 Calling Eric Claptons guitar playing limited has to be the most laughable thing I've heard in a long time - haha you're far out man.
I loved Clapton's performance. Something about his voice moves me. One of my favorite songs is If I could change the World. LOVE that song!
2:53 WOW, Eric and Paul really sing well together…
Pay attention to Ringos drumming at the start, so gentle that it doesn’t take away from the Ukulele and Paul’s voice. He was truelly a special drummer

Fantastic. One of the best ever Beatles tunes, written by George.
Yeah the Maharisi did George good. For John not so much, it didn't really change Paul and Ringo became more Starr. George was the best and most important Beatle after '66 and had the best solo career!
@@THO-BRO2000 Actually, not Maharishi, but Pattie, LOL
Frank Sinatra says it's the best love song ever written
Согласен полностью . Это шедевр !
@@DBEENE123 What Sinatra actually said was that it was the best love song written in the last fifty years.
Imagine, if you can, what is going through the minds of Paul & Ringo as they and others play and sing a music style that will never be repeated. The Beatles changed our lives.
Actually, the Beatles style is represented in the whole pop genre... And Rock... and metal....
They did !! Who knows how many images of Beatles' times were running in Paul's and Ringo's minds ...
Makes me think of a famous account of a music journalist in Vienna at a concert in the early 19th century -- waiting for the concert to begin, he was stunned to see Beethoven walking in with a friend; their seats were in his row. During a Mozart piece, Beethoven grabs his friend and says (pretty loudly) "No matter what we do and no matter how we try, we'll never come close to this!"

Paul was gifted that ukulele from George, who wrote this song for those that didn't know. He often plays it at his concerts using this specific ukulele to honour him
Said to a friend "It doesn't get better than this!" He says "If George comes back and plays with em it does". Good point!
He will. Us Christians believe that when the world we live in comes to an end, our Lord and Saviour will come down from the heavens and save us all. Don't believe me? It's in the Bible

when Clapton and McCartney started to sing together in the chorus is such a magical moment indeed.
The irony that Eric Clapton is singing a love song which was written for his future wife by his best friend who just so happened to be married to her at the time.
One of the greatest love song ever written. The love these guys put into this version sure is touching.
Frank Sinatra said the same thing.
Fun fact. George wrote this song to the same woman Clapton's Layla is about.
You know this song is so great because no matter who does it still gets to ya.

Paul mccartney legend
Eric clapton legend
George Harrison legend
Ringo starr legend
John Lennon*
Jeff Lynne also a legend, and amazing to see him live
Paul, Eric and George are legends yes because of their musical ability and musical contributions. However Ringo, if a legend and I dont think so, is because of his associations not his musical talent. In other words, he's a legend for being one of the beatles, the legendary band.
Paradoxswift John Legend*
And jeff lynne ??
Some just say it. Others know it. The Beatles are by far the most important and incredible thing that happened to modern music. Hands down no doubt
The one thing that The Beatles did successfully was to be the first BAND. It's why it took them so long to get a recording contract... No one in "the biz" could figure out who was the leader... The Beatles were the first BAND... Four equal Brothers, no leader to focus on... No Buddy Holly and the Crickets... No Elvis with his band... Just four amazing band. Thank God for George Martin to recognize that they wouldn't work if it was John Lennon and the Beatles, or Paul McCartney and the Beatles... Just THE BEATLES!!! That's one of the things that set them apart from everyone else... Then bands started getting signed: The Stones, The Byrd's, The Beach Boys...
It happened so quickly that, in hindsight, it's hard to imagine that they were the first to be a bandj of brothers, and each Brother brought their own brilliance to that amazing group... Never mind that they single handedly wrote the anthems of our lives. At Billy Joel's LAST PLAY AT SHEA, he flat out said that none of the people on that stage if The Beatles hadn't done what they did.
The Beatles songs really were the soundtrack of our lives! Think about this: The Beatles broke up in 1971, fifty years ago, but they're fan base is still growing! Now my four year old grandson runs around singing Yellow Submarine, Octopuses Garden, even With A Little Help From My Friends!!! I've seen Paul twice and the audience included children, adolescents, middle aged folks, and seniors!!! I've never seen an artist draw so many young people. I cried through most of the show... And then I looked around and realized that everyone, including thousands of young people who were born many generations before The Beatles broke up.
That proved to me that the power of those four guy's songs haven't slowed drawing in new fans in the fifty years since they broke up. Not even The Stones (whom I love) are in that class. There's only one band that's still as huge and powerful as they were after breaking up, and that's The Beatles!!! Thank you John, Paul, George and Ringo! God bless you and keep on rocking our lives! ps. R.I.P. John Lennon and George Harrison. I'll miss you for the rest of my life!
What's the old saying...there are two types of musicians in the world, the ones that admit they were influenced by the Beatles and liars.
@@meanieb33 that's so true

@@williamadamsmusic3025 Well Said. So glad you talked about George Martin. He was such a huge influence on the music from the UK at that time.

I will never get tired of hearing Eric sing George's songs, but the harmonies with Jeff and Paul were magnificent.
Clapton is actually a better singer than George. They have similar vocal ranges.
@@wmarkdyer Different styles, and if you've sung in a band you will know there are a lot of aspects to being a good singer. Neither George nor Eric are extraverts but their singing suits their personalities. George's solo style verged on the Dylanesque which made him different from John and Paul. Eric's vocal back catalogue includes the impressive World of Pain, Sunshine of Your Love, I feel Free and other work with Jack Bruce & encouraged by Ahmed Ertegun, but later he delivered some pretty good blues in the style of Ray Charles, in an era when white mans blues was popular with british and American audiences.
@@wmarkdyer That's not true. Eric can never get that groove in the vocal dynamics. After all, George mastered his craft with the master vocalists Paul and John. George's vocal harmonies, though much eclipsed by McCartney's, were quite extraordinary even in the early Beatles days. The silky texture of his voice unraveled later was enough to make Paul and John to pause, take note, and provide him at least some space on the records. Even amongst the soundalikes in Traveling Wilburys, George's parts stand out.
Eric is good at what he does best, the guitar. Even here, but for Paul's magnanimity to let a friend sing his band's song. It must have been an honor for Eric to sing a Beatles song in the presence of two of the Beatles themselves. I'm quite sure ifJohn were around, he would have sang the song perhaps in his own style.
@@diffbreak2366 well, the song was written about his wife, I think he has a right to sing it, who better?

This will forever be one of the most beautiful songs ever written ❤
Something so beautiful about two surviving Beatles, his son, and all his best friends paying tribute to the beautiful soul that George was. RIP George.
It make me so sad to watch this RIP George and John
F John. RIP George though.
Still makes me cry!

Don’t despair. They share something with all of us that will last throughout the ages. How many can say they’ve accomplished as much?
and Billy Preston
It is highly probable that all four living Beatles would have staged a concert like this surrounded by friends and supporters.
This is the world's best collaboration of the planets most talented and gifted musicians EVER!!! I feel pretty positive in saying... There will NEVER be another like it for the rest of eternity. ❤ I wouldve giveny left leg to have attended this masterpiece of marvels!!
I love the hug between Paul and Eric at the end and Paul's nod and acknowledgement to Jeff Lynne. It's all love and respect.
That wasn't for Jeff... that was for me, I was off stage right. Jeff thought it was for him...
Paul’s little fist pump at the end 4:17 says that’s a wrap
Somehow Paul's voice as he gets older hits me in a different way. You can tell his voice breaks up a bit here and there, he can't quite sing like in the 60s, but this somehow makes it even more real and emotional. Just a raw and beautiful sound. So great they were able to render tribute to George in this memorable concert.
This is an old video
Oldie but a goodie
ya I don’t get that at all, i mean if you actually have physical damage or some who know new or old condition then why not work in it yourself using John f. barnes method?
but ya so whatever
um oh ya so the difference in what’s produced thro vocal as age catch
Age can't destroy Paul's vocal
Sadly it has done, since this concert.

僕は何回この動画を再生すれば気が済むんだろう？いつ見ても最高の演奏、完璧なメンバー、会場の一体感。これが音楽の全てだと思う。
おそらくこれってカリブ海にあるイギリス領の島で起こった火山噴火のチャリティらしいんですね。そこにはレコーディングスタジオがあってこの場にるクラプトンやスティングやELOらもレコーディングしてた縁で集まったらしいです。ライブ自体は円盤化されてるけど日本では手に入らないみたい。
「コンサートフォージョージ」でググってみて。ヤバい面子でヤバいクオリティのコンサートです。
@@よしのぶ-v2vglad to see you enjoying this. It was "Concert for George" in honor of the late George Harrison.
わかる
3:39 That saxophone kills me everytime. Perfect timing, perfect improvisation!
One of the most beautiful love songs ever. George is really a genius of Melody. Miss George and John so much. I miss the Beatles and all of the well justified excitement that they brought to my life. Beatles forever!!
And none other than Frank Sinatra said so too.
Pearls 🎶
@@MrDaiseymay Sinatra called it his favorite Lennon-McCartney song.
It amazes me that Paul is pushing 80 and has a new album
One of the most beautifully crafted renditions of this song ever.. wow
im a 15 yo kid and i didn’t get the chance to be in george’s living moments, but i sure appreciate it
Shut up nobody cares
I care
I also care
Alejandro Escobar So do I. Speak for yourself.
Keep listening! You've done good so far!
Memories of kissing my cute girlfriend back when this was playing on the radio, back in 1969, we were14 yrs old. At 65 yrs old brings tears to my eyes.
Brings tears to mine and I am 80...
@@kennethpack1963 love to be 14 yrs old again and back to 1969.
@@usmc-veteran73-77 Is there another Ken Pack out there? I was 39 in 1979, still pretty wild though...
@Dan AldrichWhen "Something" was played at my Junior High School Dances, I thought it could be a great time to kiss your girlfriend. As "Something" was playing and we were slow dancing I kissed my girlfriend, right there in the gymnasium and in front of all the other teenagers. When the song was over boy did we get chewed out by the Principal. All the other teenagers saw the Principal chewing us out, and for some reason it was like we were Celebrities. We were the talk of the school that next week. Love to be 14 yrs old again.
Man, Nice Comment. Deserves More Likes 👍😊🙏
2:12 this moment with harmonies by Jeff Lynne always gives me chills.
Jeff Lynne is one of the best harmony singers!
One of their best. -
We thank you, George. We thank you.
It is striking that almost no one is talking about Marc Mann. He plays the guitar parts of both George and Eric flawlessly, but modestly in the background ;-)
THANK YOU. Took me ages to find out who this guy was.
but it’s not this, it’s just we consumed almost obsemist and tunnel visionin
The guy in the cloth cap? Yeah I wondered why he doesn’t seem to get the credit he deserves. It even appears that Paul points toward Eric Clapton during the first solo when he really should be acknowledging Marc Mann.
@@blakemoon123 They rehearsed fairly extensively, I'm sure Paul knows who's playing.
He would simply "take the butter off his bread" as we say in Germany for "stealing someone´s show".. Mann can play the solo, he may be even e a better guitarist...but he simply isnt the star. Unfair but thats the way it is.
God, this is good. The frigging transition from a joyful uke sketch to full band grandeur, the harmony singing, the guitar tone during the solo... My oh my. Being alive sometimes IS worth the effort.
Eric and Paul singing to each other at 2:56 melted my heart ❤️
Just after a fantastic solo by Marc Mann, an underrated guitarist
WOW that 2 voices together at 3:10 clapton and paul was really impressive!
I like that at the beginning, it's just Paul and Ringo playing.
For me, the heart of this show is the superb guitar work from Marc Mann (Edit: when the video opens, he's the one on the extreme left, wearing a black cap.) Throughout the various groupings and performances, his renditions of classic guitar riffs from these amazing songs is second to none. He seems to get so little credit, being totally overshadowed by the big names. A brilliant artist who deserves so much more acknowledgement.
Who?
@@Whiteyholmes08 Guess that proves the point. As the video opens he’s the guy standing to the left of Paul, wearing a black cap. Watch him throughout the show and you’ll realise just how much he contributes.
@@Whiteyholmes08 😆
Well said. A magnificent job throughout - great musician.
I totally agree. He sounds just like George's work. Only live with only one take
I so love how Paul takes the top harmony over Clapton's lead vocal just like the Beatles original recording...and Jeff Lynne also was wonderful 👍😊
JL The ONLY 5th Beatle.
i doubt clapton could hit the top harmony anywhere near as well as paul
Love Jeff Lynne
The ukulele, the McCartney's voice, the transition, McCartney's voice, the guitar solo, the BASS, the strings, McCartney's harmonies...oh my! A one of a kind performance to be sure! I wonder who did the arrangement and thought to do the transition like that? Probably McCartney. Genius.
Our beloved, George Harrison, would have turned 78 today. 02/25/43 Liverpool, Lancashire, England
The Beatles revolutionized Pop/Rock Music.
And they could not have done it without you mate. We miss you..
I remember seeing Paul in concert not long after George's passing when he brought out the ukelele and told the story of George giving it to him and how he sang Something on it. Not a dry eye in the audience at the end of that song. Not a dry eye. Even I was ugly crying and I don't usually react like that.
It reminds me of that John Lennon comment post-Beatles about his former bandmates and that "nothing will ever break the love we have for each other."
There is something fortunate about always loving your childhood friends, even as you grow apart.
I know that many not agree, but SINATRA is right: Something is the best Beatles song. The lyrics, the arrangement ... it just proves how George Harrison is a genius (very underrated).
Not underrated!!
I actually don't think George was underrated nor Ringo coz each and every Beatle contributed magic!! George was known for his lead guitar among the best and he learned sitar, a very difficult instrument to learn!! The first time he played it as a Norweigam Wood!! Ringo was a Beatle and no
explanation needed!!0
It's not even George's best song - that's Here Comes the Sun
George’s best song is “I want to tell you” from the revolver album
@@ksasidhar2980 Even Taxman is better than that and that's on Revolver
Greatest time to be alive and see these fantastic musicians . Privileged is the only word I can think of. Great days.
Love Jeff Lynne's Harmony vocals here. Jeff Lynne is a genius!
Yeah, notice how he was constantly keeping an eye on Eric so that his timing would be as good as possible...that is a pro move
Jeff Lynn is truly a genius at mixing instrumentation. I would think he had a hand in this arrangement.
Very nice performance. Truly splendid.
Made me want to cry, Eric was George’s best friend, and of course was Paul’s brother, just amazing all these LEGENDS were barely 20 year old kids when they were putting out some of the greatest music in history
Do you think George would be speaking out and standing up like Eric, Van the Man and Roger Waters?
I do.
Don’t forget Eric Clapton stole George’s wife.
@@alisonfayers-kerr9089 I would hope George was not as staggeringly stupid as that. I lost all respect for Clapton, MOrrison, and Waters as humans for that. Their scientifically illiterate bullshit will cost lives.
@@loosilu out of the loop here, what'd they do?
@@izebsam They are all publicly opposing COVID vaccination. They are all elderly men with zero science background who spent decades frying their brains with chemicals, but they think their medical opinion is valid.
