George Harrison Invited Me To Live With Him

[@otisgibbs]

Here's Kevin talking about being on the Roof with The Beatles. kzbin.info/www/bejne/eoKYeWuppcanq5o

[@TheWorldTeacher]

My favorite George song is also my favorite Beatles song, "Something".

[@robertbentzel6881]

If I needed someone

[@chrisnieto5547]

Friend of mine toured with the Beatles in the early days. He said George was one of nicest human beings on earth. And he pretty much stayed that way.

[@jeffbayne15]

So glad to hear that... I've met and worked with lot of celebrities over the years as a manager for a major photo studio and people are often amazed by the behavior of some people when the cameras are not running... That's why they call it "Show Business". I'm glad to hear George was a decent soul...

[@bertstadnyk6467]

"While My Guitar Gently Weeps" of course . Highly underrated as a writer .

[@saginawdan]

George was special. I was very saddened when he passed. RIP George ♥️🙏.

[@louieo.blevinsmusic4197]

“Isn’t it a pity” is hands down one of my fav songs of all time.

[@MJ-we9vu]

My favorite George song is also my favorite Beatles song, Here Comes the Sun. And I especially love it during the first warm days of spring after a tough Midwestern winter. It gives me hope of better days to come.

[@theloniouszappa]

What?! You like "here comes the sun" better than "something" or "while my guitar gently weeps "? "Here comes the sun" is probably my least favorite Harrison song done while he was in the beatles. I guess to each their own

[@sarahgabl2323]

My favorite as well.

[@thedave5748]

Here Comes The Sun is the #1 Beatles song on Spotify.

[@theloniouszappa]

@@thedave5748 that's hilarious and ridiculous at the same time.

[@TheWorldTeacher]

@@theloniouszappa, you mean "Blue Jay Way" or "Old Brown Shoe" is SUPERIOR to "Here Comes the Sun?? 🤐

[@roygoad2870]

Was lucky to see George at his Royal Albert Hall concert in 1992, why oh why he didn’t perform live more often I’ll never know. The show was amazing!

[@AnnieJohnsonRock]

My husband & I have been enjoying the interviews with Kevin Harrington. We're watching Get Back for the second time, and now we see Kevin everywhere! He's all through the movie, moving around in the background, helping to make things happen. So nice to hear his point of view.

[@mrpussinboots4252]

The joy on this mans face reiterating this story speaks for itself. Fantastic interview.

[@rickmayo977]

“Beware of Darkness” especially the live version from The Concert For Bangladesh. Thank you for this Otis

[@kylemoran4343]

George was trying to tell us all something with his song and final recorded album, "Brainwashed" (my favorite George song) The entire LP is great, with many meaningful lyrics, mixed in with some fun tunes. George always had a good message for humanity. Mainly that there's more to just "living" in these earthly bodies, which we shed eventually, so be good to one another. Peace Otis !

[@estacoda545]

@@Adam-ed6vm lol

[@Meatcity-sf8fm]

The album brainwashed is about 20 years old now I’m still processing it but some fun tunes I have to disagree with

[@Zepster77]

You’re right it’s an AMAZING record; it has it all! That instrumental on there will bring a tear to your eye!

[@Cincinnatus1869]

I always loved George's version of If Not For You. Lovely song and it reminds me of my wife who I rely on completely

[@dodgedandle8311]

Very Very Hard one to call he Wrote Some Smashers ,but one song George wrote that doesn’t get a anywhere near enough praise as it should and it’s in my ( I wish I’d have wrote that list ) is I Live For You off of All Things Must Pass I’ve got it on some Deluxe CD Re issue of the album with bonus tracks, It is one of the most Beautiful songs ever, the peddle steel in that song just Breaks a little bit of you Heart every time I listen to it, it is just Breathtaking. If you haven’t heard it your in for a real treat, He was a bit special was our George 🌞⭐️❤️🌞⭐️❤️🌞⭐️❤️🙏 Bless Him

[@jamesm5547]

Can a Beatles fan hear too many first person stories? Lol - never! Sounds like George was a very decent person, amazing considering the level of fame the fab four lived. Thanks again Otis. Be safe & enjoy the rest of your tour.

[@darrelmorgan6266]

Otis you're the man. You have a knack of scoring the best interviews and you actually let them talk!

[@otisgibbs]

Thank you!

[@davidedge6512]

Agreed!

[@stuartgreen7809]

Here Comes The Sun. I was learning to play it in our backyard and my Dad comes out. I was mangling it but he said what a beautiful song. Our others Beatles moment was sharing the couch for the Ed Sullivan Beatles show. Those were many years apart but still clear as day for me.

[@robertwynkoop7112]

“Something” and “Here Comes the Sun” are two of the greatest songs of all time! Thank you Otis! Much love…… what you do matters more than you know. This is the mark of a true Artist…… whether you are aware of it or not…..

[@otisgibbs]

Thank you, Robert!

[@txtamaman]

That's a true statements on all accounts!

[@theloniouszappa]

"Something" is a freaking masterpiece

[@edwardheflin9442]

Run of the Mill. "Everyone has choice / When to or not to raise their voices / It's you that decides ..." Truth.

[@eddieblaze]

Aside from George’s classic songs, I really dig “Old Brown Shoe”. Amazing chord changes (a staple in most Harrisongs) and rocking bass and drums. I continue to wonder how you meet these amazing people but so glad you do. Thanks.

[@kathrynsmith5750]

Love me some George ❤️ Any Road is one of my all time favourites. I paid a visit to (the outside of!) Friar Park once and that description of the country road with the trees and the spookiness of it is spot on. What an experience...

[@rjreddenbaker4351]

Been working on, "Give Me Love, Give Me Peace On Earth" for my classic acoustic set and really love the crazy tempo and rhythm changes throughout the song. He was a master of syncopation and off-tempo stuff by his later years.

[@lindylufromoz5111]

Thank you for this video. I adore George & loved this.

[@zendixie]

Otis, what a great time to post these videos with Kevin which give some backstory to the Get Back series being shown right now. Mr. Harrington deserves a book deal and you deserve some recognition for having the good sense to snag these interviews with him.

[@flagrentfoul3829]

My sweet lord has always been my favorite with My guitar gently weeps as a very close second.

[@karensundin3399]

Here comes the Sun is my favorite 💜. George was a beautiful human. Love your videos Otis. Kevin you were one lucky young man to be part of the Beatles history.

[@mikeanderson5924]

Very cool. Love the whole fly-on-the-wall perspective of Get Back. Kevin adds to that with a unique angle. Thanks Otis & Kevin!

[@ghostface3655]

Such a great story teller. Thanks for this Mr. Gibbs. I really appreciate all your videos, and the content. 🙏

[@otisgibbs]

Thank you!

[@Caperhere]

Thanks to you both. Not the slightest bit religious, but My Sweet Lord is my favourite George Harrison song.

[@metalliholic]

Same, not religious either but love that song so much

[@nigeh5326]

I’m an atheist but love my sweet Lord George was a genius songwriter at times 👍

[@paulya1269]

Fascinating to too see him today. I watched Get Back on the weekend. Kevin appeared often in the film, and the quality was so good it almost seemed current. Hard to believe that it was over 50 years ago, and that Kevin is no longer that young kid in the studio with them.

[@rivett310]

Thank you so much Otis for offering a wonderful experience into Kevin’s experiences during this timeframe. 🌺❤️

[@jimdavenport4484]

My favorite 2 songs written by George are while my guitar gently weeps and Handle with care. From everything I’ve read he wrote the song but gave credit to the other members of the Traveling Wilburys too.

[@otisgibbs]

I love it when George sings Over Exposed, Commercialized. You know he knows exactly what he's talking about. : )

[@TheOldYellers]

Thanks for this great view into something amazing. If George or any of the Beatles said do you want to move in, Jaysus man I’d be over the moon. Yes!!! For George songs I’d have to go with Something, Taxman, For You Blue, and All Things Must Pass.

[@mojo6778]

Another great interview! Something would be one of my favorite George Harrison songs.

[@s2cardinal]

Within you, without you was my first George song, but I really love It’s All too Much.

[@scottkidwellmusic9175]

Thanks, Otis! Always digging up interesting people talking interesting stories. What a time to be alive! Be good to you!

[@brucegwynn8509]

Now that I think about it , I don't think I've ever heard anybody say anything bad about George, he really must have been a great guy throughout all of the madness !!

[@redrunningintowater]

That was a nice story to hear, thanks for doing that. Favorite song, so many. I can only think of, My Sweet Lord, but will spend the day listening to his catalog.

[@Spaceman1968]

George was my favorite my guitar gently weeps probably on my favor George songs.

[@danielgreer9811]

My favorite as a guitar player is Here Comes the Sun. Wonderfully intricate picking pattern and cool riffs. Tough song to learn, but amazing that all of that came out of George’s mind. How did he do that, right? Great story about how it was written at Eric Clapton’s place. Interesting relationship between Eric and George and Patti. Clapton’s autobiography covers it well and is worth the read.

[@dodgedandle8311]

Yeah I know what you mean when you say about coming up with a song like HCTSun to learn it is hard enough, but to come up with it, well what can you say , that’s the magic, and George had it 👍🏻🙏⭐️

[@keithsandulak2292]

How fortunate your podcasts appealed to Kevin's son opening this door to his father's wonderful memory bank.

[@toddkurzbard]

Always have loved (and miss) George. My favorite is the one we ALL remember, "My Sweet Lord". In terms of the Beatles, it is probably, "Here Comes The Sun" (which I personally think is a better song then "Something". Just because it is such a happy, optimistic song), And his MAGNIFICENT guitar solos in the album version of "Let It Be".

[@lastcrateontheleft]

Thanks, I needed that! 💚

[@a.m.phaneuf6164]

George & Eric with Badge, really great song…hey Otis..somebody needs to press record and open the mic, with you in front of it. I think YOUR story is a diamond in the rough that needs to be seen/heard

[@ardenevox]

My favourite George Harrison song is Beware of Darkness because, not only does Leon Russell sing on it, but it embodies our times now, which are dark indeed (Jan. 6 committee hearing yesterday). What is Life was my first fav though. Then I heard Beware of Darkness while I was on a Leon Russell deep dive and that was it.

[@johnjyoungjr7400]

It's a twofer Tuesday! And l was worried when you went out on tour we wasn't gonna hear from you. As always great interview. You know/meet the most interesting people. Love the content. Thanks Otis!

[@drutgat2]

Great video. Kevin seems like such a nice person.

[@regunter6599]

Well I won't say I am surprised, you have had some of the most unique guests and this is one of them. He seems so laid back about the whole thing and honest in his appreciation of George Harrison. It is a story about the life of someone I greatly admire but not a part of him that I had ever heard. I do really enjoy the people you share with us, I have said to lots of people that you have the ability to get these people to tell interesting stories and in just a little bit of time they share a huge amount of information. Lots of other people interviewing people don't seem to know how to get the person to rolling and stay out of the way so they can share their story with us. I hope you are having a ball and enjoying life to the fullest right now. Thanks for taking us along.

[@timmckeown1313]

I could listen to Kevin all day long.

[@kevinbrooks1104]

I was weaned on this music, I regret the fact that in a way we have lost our way. The message of love and the form of the songs was beautiful , sometimes I think what if the love thing would have caught traction with everyone. But as for George I believe that he lived the life he was influenced by God's love and I think he did love the people of the world. And what more can be said of someone if they were loved and shared love with others much respect George Harrison

[@sayeager5559]

This guy is sooooo likeable. Taxman is probably my favorite.

[@thexonerunner1517]

Hi Kevin, I'm sure you might not remember me, but the last time that we met was in the men's room at EMI Manchester square. The year was 1968 and I distinctively remember that you were wearing an orange and green plaid jacket, and you referred to me as your new protege as I had just been hired by Clive smith(NEMS), as an office junior, working alongside Steven at Hill st. It's been awhile, but it's still good to see again.....Cheers!...

To paraphrase the quote you mentioned. If you don’t have your health, your family and your friends you have a hole in your heart that cannot be filled. George is someone who knew that

Kevin's Ginger Baker impression is priceless 😂

[@meestermeesterhastings.3159]

I bumped into George in 1984 he had a house in Oak Village he was working with the Python team "Hand Made Films" on the day I met him I also met Michael Palin out side his house, I think George is the nicest person I have ever known,I was invited to the house Kevin talks about for a weekend but was unable to go as I was working, I have been a Gardener all my Life and that's all George would talk about I am told he went on to make a nice Garden at that house...

[@thesongwritersdropin2565]

This is great Otis. Thank you. has to be ''Something and ''All things must pass''.He wrote great songs period.

[@8mycake244]

"While My Guitar Gently Weeps" (Beatles). "This is Love" (solo).

The Most Favorite George Harrison song? Well, like most human beings..it does depend on what mood I'm in and having stated that, today it would be "Give Me Love". 🌱

[@donmcallister3745]

I really like… Run Of The Mill… That Is All… Who Can See It… Isn’t It A Pity… just off the top of my head… I also like… True Love…( my uncle used to sing it around the house… it reminded me of him)… saw George in ‘74… the Dark Horse tour. I still miss George…🎶🎵🎶🌞

[@promerops]

Very informative and enjoyable interview. For me, "Beware of Darkness". Thanks!

[@josephsea9377]

Only A Northern Song, It's All Too Much..... George gave it more color. Here Comes The Sun is truly therapeutic.

[@thegrievancegordieshow9882]

Videos like this are truly what makes KZbin great Real stories from real people who really haven’t been heard before My sweet lord isn’t my favorite song but when I started working at a record store I worked with a gentleman who told me that nuns used to come into the store to buy the song and he laughed about it because he realized it was about Hari Krishna not the Christ So it’s extra interesting for me to hear about him moving into an old Nunnery When I found out George was called the quiet one I begin identifying with him and his songs more and more simply because the other two were in the spotlight so much and I was basically an overly shy kid myself In watching the Peter Jackson Disney snippets on KZbin I realize now how much work George Harrison was doing as opposed to John Lennon‘s clowning around In order for George to have all of those songs as soon as the Beatles broke up and to do all those musical projects right away it’s obvious that he had all of that built up within him and it came flowing out when he was allowed the freedom to truly express himself And in doing so he makes us all equally special upon hearing it

[@theinfamouscletusherringbo8134]

Something is the best Beatles song.

[@donaldmoore4412]

Otis, great job!!!

[@andrewculhane9082]

I love Beware of Darkness, Let it Down and Isn’t it a Pity. George is just so incredible. It’s my personal opinion that All things Must Pass is the only post-Beatles album to reach the creative level of an actual Beatles release. However, I love all of John and Paul’s solo work, as well.

[@sweptinblack]

I agree. A lot of stuff from all things must pass should have been on Beatles albums. But Paul's self indulgent showtunes ended up as filler lol

[@sammcivor1885]

The fact that George himself said he had enough music to last the Beatles about 10 years is how excellent he is as an artist and a creative mind. To release a triple album with so many classics is testament to him as an artist. I would also argue that McCartney’s RAM equals that creativity, just a shame it was ridiculed when it was released.

[@barrygoodson4952]

I agree with your assume that of All things must pass. The very best solo Beatles album . John was always my favorite growing up but the more I listened to the Beatles work the more George became the guy to me ! It was a special band and only God could have put these 4 guys together who so perfectly complimented each other. Nothing like them will ever happen again !

[@barrygoodson4952]

Assessment goes above instead of assume.

[@icanseeformiles9387]

Also agree - well said. I'll always love George, he was my favorite ❤
