If asked, I would have never told Prince to play what he played. Having played it, I would never want to hear anything else then what he played. A perfect moment.
I've been told a roadie caught Prince's guitar Prince was pissed because Rolling Stone magazine left him off the top 100 guitar players of all time. Does any other old person like me get Misty eyed when they see young people enjoying the music we grew up with ✌️♥️
I absolutely love this review, as someone from a different generation appreciates the talent and creativity on display. One of my favourite songs too. A great knowledge of different genres from such a young soul.
I think someone else noted that they're all heavy hitters when it comes to the guitar but they let Prince do the solo....amazing! I miss him so much! BTW I think someone said George Harrison's SON is also on stage and that he was the one who caught Prince's guitar!
As a lifelong avid reader, one of my favorite quotes is "Never make fun of someone if they mispronounce a word. It means they learned it by reading." 🙂
The young man to the right of Tom Petty is Dhani Harrison, George's son. Tom Petty, Jeff Lynne, George Harrison were all in the Traveling Wilburys along with Bob Dylan and the great Roy Orbison. Well worth checking out that combination as well as each member of the band.
Dhani's smile while watching Prince 3 feet away from him always gives me a big grin. Thanks for getting to this today. I've been thinking about it since last night.
@@michaelhoward142 THANK YOU!!!! I have been SOOO AMAZED that ALL the other reactors to this video, AND the comments underneath DON'T EVEN MENTION DHANI, or even ASK "WHO IS THE KID WITH THE DARK HAIR NEXT TO PETTY" I guess they never knew what GEORGE HARRISON looked like, cos DHANI is his DAD'S DOUBLE.
Prince didn't even rehearse with him he walked in that day & played with them. He decided to do that among guitar solo at the end cuz he got snubbed from being named one of the greatest guitar players so he wanted everyone to know he could play guitar just as good as everyone else & he absolutely blew everyone away may he & Tom Petty RIP
We would like to think that, but Prince's roadie at the front of the stage caught it (the same guy who held Prince up when he leaned backwards. The camera angle makes it appear that it just went straight up, but there is another cut of this concert at the ROCK HALL INDUCTION OF GEORGE as a SOLO ACT, where is a long view from the audience and you can SEE the guitar come down to the front of the stage where is roadie was waiting
Listen to the album fundraiser for Bangladesh. What a concert!!!!!!!! George organized it. Leon Russell YOU MUST check him out! George’s son, Dhani, was at this memorial concert: physical clone of his dad. Love all the individual Beatles. George wrote such beautiful music and John Lennon, too much to be said about him here.
You're sòooo right he was looked down on most of all by Lennon and yet he wrote some of the best songs . He was the most beloved of the Beatles outside of music fans , when interviewed about his death Jackie Stewart who said he didn't know him that well was devastated he went on to say that he'd lost a lot friends fellow racing drivers and he a three times world champion who taught for better racing conditions said that it was like losing a believed relative, George was a beautiful human being h3e certainly was my favorite Beatle.
Prince was such a virtuoso on electric guitar. I kept wishing he'd rock out more on his studio albums, but he seemed to save that mostly for his live shows. But Prince was more than just rock music. He did it all and shined his own brilliant light on all of it. The whole stage is full of musical geniuses in this historical George Harrison tribute.
"Look at his face". That guy standing next to Tom Petty (first vocalist) with the acoustic guitar was George's son Dhanni. The version from The Concert For George from 2 years earlier had many of the same people onstage, and more. The guitarist with the hat, Marc Mann, played the guitar parts and first solo that Eric Clapton played on the Beatles' recording. You should also check out the version from The Concert For George (on Y.Tube), because this one is basically a recreation of that one, except that one has Clapton, McCartney, Ringo, and tons of other people on it.
I always wish Dhani were mentioned in the title of this video, so many reactors have no idea of how much he resembles George. I get chills every time I see him in this.
Yes, there are MANY MANY MORE musicians on the stage, than on this one, for THE CONCERT FOR GEORGE. ALL of them were friends and fellow musicians and musicians who worked with George. PLUS KLAUS VOORMAN (on bass) who has been friends with The BEATLES since their time in HAMBURG, GERMANY where the BEATLES REALLY honed their act playing 8 hours a night in gritty bars in the red light district of Hamburg ( the Reeperbahn) THAT is where they met Klaus who was an artist, photographer and musician and became close friends all the way to the present. KLAUS also CREATED THE COVER FOR THE BEATLES ALBUM "REVOLVER."
Prince simply tossed it up in the air but forward also to the roadie or whoever that guy was that supported and pushed Prince back up on the stage a minute earlier. It just looked like it went straight up, we just couldn't see the arc it actually took off camera out to the guy.
You are reliving history, my boy... You are getting a small taste of what we who came of age in the 60s and 70s were able to gorge on simply by turning on the radio... Now you know why we have so little regard for the computer generated noise that’s called music today....... Don’t lose your curiosity... It will serve you well...
Yes, it was his roadie that caught it, the same man who held him up when Prince leaned backwards, there is another cut that shows a different view from the audience and you see the guitar come down to where his roadie was waiting
Jeff, along with George, created The Traveling Wilburys. Jeff also produced George Harrison (of course), Roy Orbison, produced three Petty albums including co-creating the monstrous Full Moon Fever, produced the Beatles, and much more. At one time in the late 1980s, Jeff had three albums in the Top 10. It has been said Prince was pissed that Rolling Stone did not include him in their list of History’s Greatest Guitarists. This was his “F-U” to the magazine. What a great legacy performance to leave behind.
@@robertdobbs4427 Yes! George couldn't have said Dhani wasn't his son. His mannerisms are also the same and his singing even has a familiar ring to it. So glad to see how proud of his dad, he is.
NOT to the Hall of Fame, as Prince was ALSO inducted that night, as was George as a solo act (he was already inducted with the Beatles in 1988. It was his reaction to Rolling Stone Magazine who didn't include him in the Top 100 guitarists of all time
The only music played at my husband's memorial were "Yesterday ", "Golden Slumbers", and "The Long And Winding Road". We are people of faith,but I didn't feel like praising God for my husband dying. These songs spoke to our wonderful love and marriage better than any Christian song I could think of. They got me through it.
Loved your reaction, awesome!! Dhani Harrison right over Tom Petty's shoulder, looks just like his dad. What makes this special, is both Prince and Petty fly high up above. 💜😢 RIP! All of these musicians gifts to us all, the song makes it special, a gift from George, RIP! 😢 MY FAV BEATLES SONG!! And there are plenty!! 👏👍😊
Jeff Lynne's voice is just amazing. Well, Tom's is too of course....but Jeff's smooth falsetto here and in ELO have made him one of the absolute best singers in my opinion. This performance is right up there with the Stairway to Heaven performance by Heart for Led Zeppelin. I love your reactions !!!! Keep on Rocking !!!! Also, that is George's son Dhani that was in awe of Prince...lol
Prince was an absolutely stellar guitarist, and otherworldly on other instruments as well, but it always bothered me that he had to play a cover song for people to realize this. Anyone with ears could just listen to his material and hear that he was a master guitarist. Perhaps it's because he did so many other things so well that his guitar playing was overlooked. Still, that always bothered me that we validate someone's talent by them playing some cover song and ignore their own original material. Still happens today on the local scene, and I get very annoyed by it as a musician playing original music.
Billy Preston on piano. Played on Let It Be sessions at request of George who thought an outside person might put rest of Beatles in “less bitchy” behavior
Prince on the stage with legends and shined like they were simply amateurs in comparison. There are levels of perfection in every field of endeavor. Besides Michael Jackson, Prince had no other peers as an entertainer. As for abilities he even had MJ beat.
Wow, hadn't seen this version before and Petty really sounded like George on this. And then there was no mistaking Harrison's son over Petty's shoulder! Sometimes these big star-studded get-togethers don't actually work so well, but this was incredible. Prince was great and the guy playing Clapton's part was excellent, but it would have been great to have seen Clapton on this. I'm with you on this and Elanor Rigby being two of my favorite Beatle's songs. Thanks! Stay safe, be well. Peace from SF
WATCH "THE CONCERT FOR GEORGE" from NOV. 29, 2002, which was the first anniversary of George's passing. It took place at the Royal Albert Hall in London. You will SEE Eric Clapton play the solo, and there are MANY MANY more musicians, singers on stage than there was at this ROCK HALL INDUCTION for George, including PAUL MCCARTNEY, RINGO STARR. DHANI HARRISON ( GEORGE'S SON, who is ALSO in this tribute above, standing next to TOM PETTY), KLAUS VOORMAN, RAVI SHANKAR and so many others. LOOK IT UP and you will see a complete list of all the participants. It's a FANTASTIC CONCERT that I am sure you can find here and it's available on DVD. IT was aired on TV originally but the DVD has the ENTIRE concert, parts were cut from the TV Broadcast. FANTASTIC CONCERT.
Song was, of course, written by George Harrison. The guitar solo on the White Album was played by his close friend Eric Clapton. Harrison returned the favor on Clapton's song Badge which was recorded with the band Cream. Lots to check out with Cream. When Clapton was in Derek and the Dominoes, he wrote the song Layla about being in love with Harrison's wife Patty (they would later divorce). Clapton would later marry Patty and somehow Eric and George remained close friends till Harrison's death. No doubt, George's religious and spiritual beliefs played a role. He was a pure spirit, to be sure. George's son Dhani - who appears on stage in this video looks and sounds just like his father. Great video. You may want to check out Prince's song Let's Go Crazy (among many others) that feature his guitar work and other talents. Make sure to listen to the full album version with the long spoken intro.
The wonderful song Written By Former Beatle George Harrison. "While my Guitar Gently Weeps." I heard this in the 60's. Thinking, Wow This is So Beautiful. Jeff Lynn from ELO. DOES A GREAT JOB DOING THE VERSES....GLAD YOU SO ENJOYED THIS DANIEL...✌
Good selection, this is one of the most beautiful Beatles songs. Dhani Harrison looks a lot like his father. There is also a very good live version of the song with Eric Clapton in honor of George.
I am so glad you got to hear this. A little aside: Eric Clapton played the lead on While My Guitar Gently Weeps and Harrison played lead on one of Eric Clapton's records. You do need to check out the Traveling Wilburys, they are Bob Dylan, Tom Petty, Jeff Lynne, Roy Orbison and George Harrison. Handle Me With Care or End Of The Line are good first choices. The percussionist in the back on this video is totally rocking out with his tambourine. I have always loved this song and Prince kicks it up a notch but in a civilized way. I got to spend some time on a Prince tour and I have to tell you, I would be hard pressed to be more impressed by any musician than him. (His guitar tech catches it) In this song his Guitar is weeping because nothing ever changes even if it is obvious. By contract, George was not allowed to have any more than 2 songs per Beatles album. After writing all this, it is nice to have you do the research and confirm my idea about the song. Jeff Healey deserves a look by you as well, if not here, personally. Jeff is blind ( a cancer of the retina), he plays a mean blues guitar and has a beautiful blusey voice. Stevie Ray Vaughn regarded Jeff Healey as one of his heroes. th-cam.com/video/gwgOUzodS6E/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/gIkOaTVu8uM/w-d-xo.html
Very informative start to this reaction, thank you 🙋🏽♀️👍🏽 His favourite guitar went straight to heaven, where George caught it and took care of it till he himself got there💜
The Young fellow strumming the acoustic guitar to the right of Tom Petty is Danhi Harrison, George Harrison's son . In a way you can consider this to be a Superband. The aforementioned band (The Traveling Wilbury's) of which Tom Petty was a member also had Jeff Lynn of ELO in it , and George Harrison when alive was a member of the The Traveling Willbury's , as well as legends Roy Orbison and Bob Dylan. They are definitely worth a listen . Princes guitar by the way was caught by a technician just above the stage when he threw it .Something that Prince often did in his shows.
I believe there is another aspect of the "floor needs sweeping" lyric. George's favorite book at the time was Autobiography Of A Yogi by Paramahansa Yogananda. This book by the Hindu guru was given to George by Indian sitar master Ravi Shankar, who George was trying to learn the instrument from. George was known to give the book to his friends, such as rock musician Gary Wright. Anyway there is a part of the book where after an experience of cosmic consciousness, Yogananda's guru hands him a broom, and tells him to sweep the veranda they were standing on - to imply that even with such head in the clouds kinds of experiences, you still have to keep your feet on the ground. Since that was such an influential book for Harrison, I think there is probably a connection to the lyric. For some other Harrison Beatles songs referring to Harrison's spiritual beliefs, see "Within You, Without You", where he plays the sitar, (Sgt.Peppers), and "Love You To" (Revolver).
Hi Daniel, thank you! It is also one my favorite Beatles song. I don't know why but George was always a very special person to me. I believe that almost all musicians from that period respected him, not just because of him being so talented player, singer, composer. Take care.
It's so amazing that you are educating yourself in all these amazing musicians. Being of this generation, I feel so blessed that I grew up with this music and now, a whole new generation is learning how amazing they were and are.
My favorite Beatles song as well Daniel ! Legendary musicians on stage as well as George Harrison's son ! Keep up the great work ! And then there is Eric Clapton on the original track. Now HE is a guitarist we will need to get you into !!✌❤🌻😷🎶
First, I was amazed how much Tom Petty sounded like George Harrison. I wondered who the boy was next to Petty, but I see it was George's son. Awesome. I think they All did a fabulous job with instruments And with vocals (not just Prince). Great tribute! R.I.P. George, Tom, and Prince.
I've only been subbed for about two weeks or so... Seems like much longer - in a great way! 😊 (That's how I missed it!) So glad you watched this and a fellow subscriber told me you had already reacted! ➡️ *Prince is why my heart is purple* ⬅️ He blew everyone away! Just look at their faces! 💜💫✌🏼🎵 Miss him every day. #TrueGenius 👑
The song WAS a hit in other countries, but was not released as a single in the US or UK. Correct, some of the most iconic and talented musicians of "our" era, all of them huge lovers of The Beatles, and George specifically! Fantastic performance! And yeah, Prince certainly had a flamboyant fashion sense! Great reaction, Daniel!!!!!
Good call "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" is in my Beatles Top 5 (No. 4) and my favorite of George's from that period... I like more of George's solo work than all the other Beatles put together... Jeff Lynne, Tom Petty & Dhani Harrison & and a concert full of top names all showing their love for George, Dhani must be so proud...
Just a few words on this..... Iconic is a good word to describe this little get together by all these artists to honor George Harrison! While my guitar gently weeps is my favorite Beatles song. Actually it's more George's song. A lot of people would say "Something" is their favorite by George, but it's the guitar work in Gently Weeps that I love the most......and his voice.....and the lyrics. It should have been released as a single!
A reporter asked Eddie VanHalen how it felt to be the best rock guitarist. His response was I don’t know ask Prince. The most underrated guitarist that played.
YES, it's a GREAT concert which also includes PAUL MCCARTNEY, RINGO STARR, DHANI HARRISON (of course), ERIC CLAPTON, BILLY PRESTON, KLAUS VOORMAN, RAVI SHANKAR, and a ton more. It's called "THE CONCERT FOR GEROGE" on NOV.29, 2002, a year after George's death
I just love that you gave all the participants an explanation most reactions focus on Prince who I love him and this proves his genius but Tom , Jeff , Dhami and Steve deserve props and George also I believe it’s Steve Ferrone on drums it’s genius
Prince turned me on to soooo many other musicians from his own protégés to Foo Fighters to Panic! At The Disco 💃Been in love with the man since i was 10!
The dark haired young man is Georges' son Dahni, wow how much he looked like George the handsome beatle !!! I'm so happy that you enjoyed it, I did too !!!!😆🤠😅
The Beatles - the first ever really successful pop/rock group with worldwide recognition. The Beatles came into existence in the early ‘60’s and then they were followed by everyone else!
How about what is was like for Dhani Harrison, who was onstage playing with these guys. They all came to pay tribute to his father. Pretty friggin' awesome for sure. Well done Daniel, one of my favorites from The Beatles( I have many favorites from them ). Peace!
I swear, Prince was doing a combination of bowing to George's son in homage to his presence and sending condolences while asking him if he thought George would approve...
Jeff Healey...you've seen him if you've seen Roadhouse movie. He was blind from the age of one. Try Angel Eyes and As the Years Go Passing By. He played he guitar on this lap.
Great reaction. My favorite George Harrison/Beatles song as well. Check out WMGGW in 'Concert for George' with Eric Clapton on lead guitar and vocals. Also Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr and Jeff Lynne.
The Beatles studied Transcendental Meditation ("TM") in India under Maharishi Mahesh Yogi (and got him massive publicity in the process). That lasted about a year, and AFAIK they got disillusioned with it and gave it up, but Harrison continued his interest and studies in Eastern spirituality, and that's reflected in a lot of his songs, during and after his time with the Beatles.
Daniel This us pretty cool, have never seen this before. Good stuff. 1:57 btw you got it right, the word is VIRT'u O'so it means someone highly skilled or talented in their artistic craft. I think its origin is Italian or Latin.
Prince Was and Will Always be...The MAN!!🤗🌟🎶😊
The Beatles were and are "Rock Stars"!!
Prince's insane solo at the end just makes this song fire.
If asked, I would have never told Prince to play what he played. Having played it, I would never want to hear anything else then what he played. A perfect moment.
The song was beyond fire already.

Nice to see that the music(all genres) we were listening to has stood the test of time and not just to our ears.
Zebulon 8 I do! It’s a “good misty eyed” ☺️
I’m happy watching these. It’s what Prince wanted. To get kids to see what real music was like.
I absolutely love this review, as someone from a different generation appreciates the talent and creativity on display. One of my favourite songs too. A great knowledge of different genres from such a young soul.
Someone once said Prince's guitar had to smoke a cigarette after this 😄
I think someone else noted that they're all heavy hitters when it comes to the guitar but they let Prince do the solo....amazing! I miss him so much! BTW I think someone said George Harrison's SON is also on stage and that he was the one who caught Prince's guitar!
I swear to God, Prince came out-of the womb with guitar in hand
George caught the guitar
NICE!
This was actually the idea of the staging. Not many picked up on it.
And saved it fir him in heaven 💜
❤️
Dhani's laughing face, as Prince nearly fell backwards off of the stage - priceless!
As a lifelong avid reader, one of my favorite quotes is "Never make fun of someone if they mispronounce a word. It means they learned it by reading." 🙂
I'm still convinced that when Prince threw his guitar up in the air, God took it : )

George wrote some of the Beatles’ most beautiful songs. This one, Here Comes the Sun, Something. I also recommend What Is Life from his solo career.

you should check out Jeff Healey, he was a blind singer/guitar player, oh yeah and AMAZING
You might love the early footage of the Beatles coming to the USA and the fans reacted to them ☮️
I saw Prince twice in concert......I feel blessed.
Song was, of course, written by George Harrison. The guitar solo on the White Album was played by his close friend Eric Clapton. Harrison returned the favor on Clapton's song Badge which was recorded with the band Cream. Lots to check out with Cream. When Clapton was in Derek and the Dominoes, he wrote the song Layla about being in love with Harrison's wife Patty (they would later divorce). Clapton would later marry Patty and somehow Eric and George remained close friends till Harrison's death. No doubt, George's religious and spiritual beliefs played a role. He was a pure spirit, to be sure. George's son Dhani - who appears on stage in this video looks and sounds just like his father. Great video. You may want to check out Prince's song Let's Go Crazy (among many others) that feature his guitar work and other talents. Make sure to listen to the full album version with the long spoken intro.
George even ATTENDED Pattie's wedding TO ERIC, they all remained good friends....hats off to them, I could have never done that.
Very classy performance. I don't tire of watching this.
The wonderful song Written By Former Beatle George Harrison. "While my Guitar Gently Weeps." I heard this in the 60's. Thinking, Wow This is So Beautiful. Jeff Lynn from ELO. DOES A GREAT JOB DOING THE VERSES....GLAD YOU SO ENJOYED THIS DANIEL...✌
Good selection, this is one of the most beautiful Beatles songs. Dhani Harrison looks a lot like his father. There is also a very good live version of the song with Eric Clapton in honor of George.
YES, that version is on "THE CONCERT FOR GEORGE" held on Nov. 29, 2002, exactly one year after George's passing on Nov. 29, 2001
I am so glad you got to hear this. A little aside: Eric Clapton played the lead on While My Guitar Gently Weeps and Harrison played lead on one of Eric Clapton's records. You do need to check out the Traveling Wilburys, they are Bob Dylan, Tom Petty, Jeff Lynne, Roy Orbison and George Harrison. Handle Me With Care or End Of The Line are good first choices. The percussionist in the back on this video is totally rocking out with his tambourine. I have always loved this song and Prince kicks it up a notch but in a civilized way. I got to spend some time on a Prince tour and I have to tell you, I would be hard pressed to be more impressed by any musician than him. (His guitar tech catches it) In this song his Guitar is weeping because nothing ever changes even if it is obvious. By contract, George was not allowed to have any more than 2 songs per Beatles album. After writing all this, it is nice to have you do the research and confirm my idea about the song. Jeff Healey deserves a look by you as well, if not here, personally. Jeff is blind ( a cancer of the retina), he plays a mean blues guitar and has a beautiful blusey voice. Stevie Ray Vaughn regarded Jeff Healey as one of his heroes. th-cam.com/video/gwgOUzodS6E/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/gIkOaTVu8uM/w-d-xo.html
Very informative start to this reaction, thank you 🙋🏽♀️👍🏽
His favourite guitar went straight to heaven, where George caught it and took care of it till he himself got there💜
The Young fellow strumming the acoustic guitar to the right of Tom Petty is Danhi Harrison, George Harrison's son . In a way you can consider this to be a Superband. The aforementioned band (The Traveling Wilbury's) of which Tom Petty was a member also had Jeff Lynn of ELO in it , and George Harrison when alive was a member of the The Traveling Willbury's , as well as legends Roy Orbison and Bob Dylan. They are definitely worth a listen . Princes guitar by the way was caught by a technician just above the stage when he threw it .Something that Prince often did in his shows.
Amazing . Great musicians , This video is just unbelievable. Pure talent. Timeless.
Prince was extremely talented. Which makes all these guys getting together majorly EPIC because their all extremely talented!
I believe there is another aspect of the "floor needs sweeping" lyric. George's favorite book at the time was Autobiography Of A Yogi by Paramahansa Yogananda. This book by the Hindu guru was given to George by Indian sitar master Ravi Shankar, who George was trying to learn the instrument from. George was known to give the book to his friends, such as rock musician Gary Wright. Anyway there is a part of the book where after an experience of cosmic consciousness, Yogananda's guru hands him a broom, and tells him to sweep the veranda they were standing on - to imply that even with such head in the clouds kinds of experiences, you still have to keep your feet on the ground. Since that was such an influential book for Harrison, I think there is probably a connection to the lyric. For some other Harrison Beatles songs referring to Harrison's spiritual beliefs, see "Within You, Without You", where he plays the sitar, (Sgt.Peppers), and "Love You To" (Revolver).
Makes sense. Thanks
Hi Daniel, thank you! It is also one my favorite Beatles song. I don't know why but George was always a very special person to me. I believe that almost all musicians from that period respected him, not just because of him being so talented player, singer, composer. Take care.
Such a Prince move…strolls in halfway through the song, TOTALLY SLAYS IT, and strolls off.
One of four reasons why the Beatles were so Great.
Prince's launched guitar was on exhibit at the Met Museum in the Summer of 2019.
Eric Clapton was being interviewed and was asked...What's it like to be a guitar God...his response..."ask Prince"...
!!!
Yeah, that never happened.
Quick response. This is a great performance. Love the crossover film image.
Jeff's harmonising with Tom is soooo good.
Elite!
Prince's guitar solo blows my mind every time I listen to
It's so amazing that you are educating yourself in all these amazing musicians. Being of this generation, I feel so blessed that I grew up with this music and now, a whole new generation is learning how amazing they were and are.
prince was like We have some of the greatest singers of all time here but none of them play guitar like me so I'll just play guitar
My favorite Beatles song as well Daniel ! Legendary musicians on stage as well as George Harrison's son ! Keep up the great work ! And then there is Eric Clapton on the original track. Now HE is a guitarist we will need to get you into !!✌❤🌻😷🎶
First, I was amazed how much Tom Petty sounded like George Harrison. I wondered who the boy was next to Petty, but I see it was George's son. Awesome. I think they All did a fabulous job with instruments And with vocals (not just Prince). Great tribute! R.I.P. George, Tom, and Prince.
I've only been subbed for about two weeks or so... Seems like much longer - in a great way! 😊
(That's how I missed it!)
So glad you watched this and a fellow subscriber told me you had already reacted!
➡️ *Prince is why my heart is purple* ⬅️
He blew everyone away! Just look at their faces!
💜💫✌🏼🎵
Miss him every day.

This was just a masterpiece.
The song WAS a hit in other countries, but was not released as a single in the US or UK.
Correct, some of the most iconic and talented musicians of "our" era, all of them huge lovers of The Beatles, and George specifically! Fantastic performance! And yeah, Prince certainly had a flamboyant fashion sense! Great reaction, Daniel!!!!!
This is awesome, nice to see Georges son Dhani joining in, Prince kills the solo one of the coolest people ever, RIP Prince, Tom and of course George.
Good call "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" is in my Beatles Top 5 (No. 4) and my favorite of George's from that period... I like more of George's solo work than all the other Beatles put together... Jeff Lynne, Tom Petty & Dhani Harrison & and a concert full of top names all showing their love for George, Dhani must be so proud...
Perhaps you might consider the 1966 classic album by the Beach Boys - "Pet Sounds". One of the most influential albums ever released.
Awesome cover . . . Good call by Dethstrok8 toward the end of your reaction to Heart "Stairway to Heaven" live performance at the Kennedy Center . . .
Just a few words on this..... Iconic is a good word to describe this little get together by all these artists to honor George Harrison!
While my guitar gently weeps is my favorite Beatles song. Actually it's more George's song.
A lot of people would say "Something" is their favorite by George, but it's the guitar work in Gently Weeps that I love the most......and his voice.....and the lyrics.
It should have been released as a single!
One of my top 5 Beatles' songs. Enjoyed the reaction Daniel.
Este homenaje es sencillamente maravilloso, increíble la emoción y el respeto con que todos los músicos tocan la canción. Prince se sale,
Love that you know this music 🎵🎶🎵🎶🎵!!!
Absolutely love this!! Ty for a great reaction.
A reporter asked Eddie VanHalen how it felt to be the best rock guitarist. His response was I don’t know ask Prince. The most underrated guitarist that played.
Daniel, you and George have a lot in common. You two would have had a prophetically insightful conversation.
If you really want to mix it up, George Harrison’s Memorial Concert had Monty Python with Tom Hanks doing Lumberjack Song.
YES, it's a GREAT concert which also includes PAUL MCCARTNEY, RINGO STARR, DHANI HARRISON (of course), ERIC CLAPTON, BILLY PRESTON, KLAUS VOORMAN, RAVI SHANKAR, and a ton more. It's called "THE CONCERT FOR GEROGE" on NOV.29, 2002, a year after George's death
I just love that you gave all the participants an explanation most reactions focus on Prince who I love him and this proves his genius but Tom , Jeff , Dhami and Steve deserve props and George also I believe it’s Steve Ferrone on drums it’s genius
Prince turned me on to soooo many other musicians from his own protégés to Foo Fighters to Panic! At The Disco 💃Been in love with the man since i was 10!
The dark haired young man is Georges' son Dahni, wow how much he looked like George the handsome beatle !!! I'm so happy that you enjoyed it, I did too !!!!😆🤠😅
I dig watching you loving this music!
BTW ... that was George’s son Dhani on stage also. 😊
The Beatles - the first ever really successful pop/rock group with worldwide recognition. The Beatles came into existence in the early ‘60’s and then they were followed by everyone else!
It's so sad that now both Prince and Top Petty are both gone as well.
I was hoping to see your reaction when you figured out who Dhani was :-( Very well done in any case.
IT'S GEORGE HARRISON'S SONG DANIEL! :) AND THIS WAS A TRIBUTE TO GEORGE, HIS SON DHANI IS THERE NEXT TO TOM PETTY! R.I.P. TO GEORGE AND TOM :(
How about what is was like for Dhani Harrison, who was onstage playing with these guys. They all came to pay tribute to his father. Pretty friggin' awesome for sure. Well done Daniel, one of my favorites from The Beatles( I have many favorites from them ). Peace!
I swear, Prince was doing a combination of bowing to George's son in homage to his presence and sending condolences while asking him if he thought George would approve...
Jeff Healey...you've seen him if you've seen Roadhouse movie. He was blind from the age of one. Try Angel Eyes and As the Years Go Passing By. He played he guitar on this lap.
It would be great if Daniel responded to Jeff and Stevie Ray Vaughan playing "Look at Little Sister"......amazing!
@@CharCanuck14 Daniel has not reacted to any SRV yet. I suggested it in a live stream.
@@mmay2669 He reacted to Texas Flood on his Patreon site.
Check out the Doors "Light my Fire" done by Josė Feliciano. Some HOT 🔥 Acoustic Guitar licks.
Great reaction. My favorite George Harrison/Beatles song as well. Check out WMGGW in 'Concert for George' with Eric Clapton on lead guitar and vocals. Also Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr and Jeff Lynne.
The Beatles studied Transcendental Meditation ("TM") in India under Maharishi Mahesh Yogi (and got him massive publicity in the process). That lasted about a year, and AFAIK they got disillusioned with it and gave it up, but Harrison continued his interest and studies in Eastern spirituality, and that's reflected in a lot of his songs, during and after his time with the Beatles.
Another first one for me I have never seen this I didn't even know it existed thanks so much
Daniel
This us pretty cool, have never seen this before. Good stuff.
1:57 btw you got it right, the word is VIRT'u O'so it means someone highly skilled or talented in their artistic craft.
I think its origin is Italian or Latin.
Long live Jeff Lynne! Please Tour in 2021-2022!
