Drummer reacts to "Here Comes The Sun" & "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" (Live) by George Harrison

[@drmorqWarrenProject]

my younger brother and I have spent a lot of time over the last few years watching 'reactors'... and we found you a while ago at least a year and change... and since we have been in bands over the last 45 years... most of the time ion the same band... you being a 'drummer' intrigued us and watching your first reaction to things we heard 40, 50, even 60 years ago gives us a little insight to ourselves.. On Monday October 21st early in the morning my brother age 65 passed away. I watched or listened to strawberry fields... it ws the first music I have listened to in about 3 weeks... since he went in the hospital I didnt listen to music much.... and then I just watched this reaction here and when you said it felt like you got a hug from your father...damn... my brother played guitar because of the Beatles.... we saw them on tv on Feb 9th 1964 and music was in our blood with a whallop ... our dad was a piano player and trained vocalist.... If you want... take a look at our songs... it would be appreciated... its all original.

[@MikeWalsh-f1g]

Paul was the heart. John was the soul. Ringo was the Beat. George was the consciousness 👍

[@ekathrynlee7757]

Perfectly put‼️💖

[@Kieop]

If Ringo's the beat, doesn't that make him the heart?

[@tomaszg.8167]

You need to here the album version of Here comes the sun. You'll be pleased.

The new nation of Bangladesh, devastated by floods. George's concert set the standard for all the charity concerts to come. A huge moment. George assumes the mantle of humanitarian star.

Those two songs are so great - actually the best George ever did, in my opinion. though he has made a lot of great music. You can look forward to the enhanced release of the Concert for Bangladesh, that Dhani announced recently, I am exited about it. I am not sure when it will arrive, but it's coming

"Beware of Darkness". A song never more appropriate and important than today and the next 24 days.

Here Comes The Sun (Abbey Road) is my all time favorite song! The Concert for Bangladesh was such a special performance as well.

There are clips on KZbin from an old SNL with George and Paul Simon dueting on Here Comes the Sun and Homeward Bound.

This was such an amazing concert. Dylan’s appearance was historic at the time. He hadn’t been on tour since 1966 and appearances were few and far between. His performance of his classic “Just Like A Woman” with Harrison and Leon Russell backing him on guitars and vocals was legendary.

[@lyna4873]

Here comes the Sun is one of my top favorite Beatles' songs!! This live version was nice but of course I love the original album version best--musically it really is powerful and uplifting.

I'll give you a hug Lee :) I don't really know what you're going through, but you're a highly intelligent, genuine, kind, caring human being. That's why I watch your channel brother.

Both Eric and George played lead on While My Guitar. George played the main riff on Here Comes the Sun. Peter Ham, from Badfinger, played acoustic with him.

Absolutely as I concur❤

[@Cheryworld]

Harrison also organized The Concert for Bangladesh, a first giant charity event, to raise money for refugees in Bangladesh. A great 3 LP box set of the live recordings was released. Harrison organized and played on many songs, and MC'd the event. He asked for friends to help. Leon Russell, Eric Clapton, Ringo, Billy Preston and a huge group of musicians on stage with him. One whole side of one LP is Bob Dylan, with a guitar, who never sounded better. Leon did an epic melody of songs. Harrison playing and singing great hits, with Clapton, Ringo. Just great stuff

A little too much Leon Russell for me but the rest was good iirc

I wore out my "Here Comes the Sun" record, and I think my mom's nerves as I had it on replay constantly. She finally told me not to worry, as she loved the Beatles as much as I did. Love this Beatles Sunday for all the memories it brings back. Thanks Lee, you're so deserving of success. Blessings all.

[@HiddenSymmetry]

A friend of mine's mother took us to see The Concert for Bangladesh movie when it was released in theaters. On the way back Elton John's latest album was being played on the radio..a great day

[@hulagirl.kailua]

George Harrison....a founding member of the music group that forever changed music, culture, and an era (The Beatles)...the first musician to incorporate musical instruments from other cultures into modern rock music....the first Ex Beatle to have a #1 album (All things must pass) as well as the first #1 song (My Sweet Lord 1970), as well as the last Ex Beatle to top the charts in the US (1988 I've got my mind set on you)...the first musician to put together a successful star studded charity event for famine relief (1971 Concert for Bangladesh)....1st musician to form and record music as a supergroup (The Traveling Wilburys)...and one of the VERY few artists (along with Ringo) who could ask any well known musician for a favor and they would come running to help. Can't find a better legacy than that...

[@bradjenkins1475]

Young parents, just like yourself, should expose and raise their children with the music of that bygone era from the late 60s to the mid-70s. That would be as close as they can get to having lived in that era, and experienced it first-hand.

[@mimiwiz1]

Teach your daughter "Here Comes the Sun" and she'll have that feeling forever! On a cloudy day, wait for the sun to peek out, and sing it out loud. It never gets old! ⛅

[@johnpbh]

YES... "The Concert For Bangladesh" with some live stuff from George. As for the drums on "WMGGW" I think you will find that it is Both Ringo and Jim playing together. And I think i'm right in saying that the Organ is played by Billy and the piano is Leon... so again you've got twice the value for your ears to savour. Keep on Rocking L33...

[@garyarnett1220]

1st song (Guitar) Clapton on Lead, George on Rythm, Leon on Piano, Preston on Organ, and both Ringo and Keltner drumming. 2nd: (Sun) George and Pete Ham (Badfinger) on Acoustics.

[@Dr3amtime]

I got to see Richie Havens sing Here Comes the Sun once in Eugene in the early 90's. (If you haven't seen his version of "Freedom" from Woodstock, you need to.) He was singing it during a rain storm. He got the audience to sing the verse "Here comes the sun" over and over until the clouds broke and the sun came out. Kinda magical : - ). You should watch the Bangladesh concert if you can find it. It's up there with The Last Waltz, Woodstock and Monterey Pop. Aside from all the classic star performances, watching Leon Russell do his Jumpin' Jack Flash medley and Billy Preston do That's the Way God Planned It is a real treat.

[@anthonyblakely399]

Billy Preston was the 5th Beatle who played and sang on 2 studio albums and toured with members of the Beatles in concerts.

[@dilandilanjoao4310]

Just picture this. 1972 Madison square garden x2 nights. George had just stunned the world with his triple LP "all things must pass" and "My sweet Lord ". Eric Clapton was killing it with his band "Cream" you had half Beatles on stage. But the cherry on the top, came latter when Bob Dylan came on stage after being lost at sea for nearly 2 years. But the funny thing is... there was no previously rehearsal 😮Yeahp. A very few minutes before,George,on stage, finished a song and got a paper note,from a crew member saying "He's here ". George looks left and there's thumbs up and Is Bobness his climbing the side stairs to the stage. It was wild... The first public appearance from Dylan ...

[@shellihouge938]

Lee speaks the truth. Your commentary on society is spot on. I think the mistake my generation made was trying to make our kids' lives more gentle than ours was. I was saddled with oldest child responsibilities, I wanted my son to have a childhood. Trouble is adulthood never showed up. ✌️❤

I appreciate you for the emotion you bring to your reactions. Sharing a part of your life with us. Just remember, life is best lived one day at a time, one moment at a time. Living in the past is irrational because there is nothing you can do to change it. Living in the future is just fantasy because you cannot know all that the future may bring. It's all about how you live your life today. That's it. Enjoy the ride and be happy. And thank you again for sharing yourself with us! Peace.

[@mucksmith3569]

I remember watching HELP! And hearing George do I Need You and I loved it. Before that George was the lead guitar. Now he was a damn good singer/songwriter and lead guitarist. I love George. I could never understand why he had to fight so hard to land a couple of songs per album. I felt he was that good. The quiet Beatle was hilarious in both a Hards Day Night and Help! Which didn’t hurt my infatuation. Here Comes the Sun and Something are perfect songs. While my Guitar Gently Weeps, Taxman and Old Brown Shoes are also favorites. All I can say is what an amazing quartet. Short lived together, will live forever.

He was a terrific natural actor. Richard Lester said he was the best actor of the Beatles even though a lot of people said it was Ringo. I agree with Richard Lester;=)

[@billbitterman9487]

Here Comes The Sun also included members of Badfinger. George's songs especially near the end of the Beatles were so beautiful. Among the greatness of Lennon and McCartney's compositions, songs like Here Comes The Sun, While My Guitar Gently Weeps, and Something absolutely stand right up there with the best of Lennon & McCartney.

[@Beatlejamie]

George Harrison and the late great Pete Hamm on guitar ❤❤❤

[@gregoryeatroff8608]

"...but you're not here." George believed we're never really gone, that the body and the ego are transitory but soul and its connections to the universe are eternal. If he's right, then he's not really gone, he's just connected to the rest of us in a different way.

Clapton was strung out and sick on methodone during this concert and it shows in his playing on this.

[@anthonyblakely399]

Again you speak the truth about your generation....it's really sad....the computers and usage of the internet has isolated and destroyed the common sense and direct connection of your generation has been limited the one-to-one contact with other humans which brings a lot of sadness and despair with your generation.

[@seiraeiramasil2302]

George didn't die from being stabbed to death, he died from cancer, yes, there was an attempt on his life during a break-in at his home but, he survived it.

[@gs8191]
