George Harrison - Interview 1975

[@mailleuyehara63]

This interview reminded me how intensely George keeps eye contact with whoever he talks to. So present and sincere.

[@TheJayson8899]

He looks away constantly, as everyone does.

[@pechondelgado]

@@TheJayson8899 The reason for looking away is either because you want to kill somebody or fuck them if you stare too long.

[@TheJayson8899]

@@pechondelgado okay then. I’ll keep that in mind

[@nowherewolfe]

You are correct

[@The_whimsickal_artist]

"The light that has lighted the world...." George was and still is a beacon of light for so many souls walking the spiritual path. I am so blessed to have the ability to hear the wisdom George shared with the world, "all those years ago," today! George, I can't wait to meet you when I level up!

[@yamilafritzler9607]

"It takes respect in order to appreciate fully anything" He seemed to find always the exact words to communicate deep and complex things. This says a lot about him and all the inner work he did. He was really one of a kind.

[@alysonwinchester2906]

Even when he's just talking his voice sounds like a soothing mantra. I love George

[@IMEMINE.]

Never talks just to hear himself, very thoughtful and speaks to convey rather than make noise…

[@suescunny9243]

George was so musically intelligent and talented could sit and listen to him for hours talking and playing ❤️

[@puri6546]

The sweetest smile in the whole Universe. Love you and miss you, George. ❤

[@danielfisch389]

Interviewer: "The Beatles..." . George (smiling): "who?" Classic George humour!

[@kenray3205]

He is the only Beatle who understood India.A wise soul is always going somewhere.May he have great journey in his next life.The soul never dies just moves on

[@tapeduk]

Nice to see this interview in color and such good picture quality

[@fedezy6922]

I love George. Still ❤️

[@bodichair]

George is the reason I started playing sitar. The deeper understanding of Indian culture. Once you go down that path it really lets you know about the respect of the instrument and yourself. Its a very difficult path. I started in my 50s, being an American living in the west its even more difficult to learn. 🙏

[@innerlight617]

LOVE him so much!

[@love4joj881]

I know how you feel.

[@Muroka15]

So hard to come by such in depth conversation about music these days...

[@tosinkingfishercheeseburge8901]

George Harrison he my favourite person He is me everything to me

[@love4joj881]

I know how you feel.

[@goldendupek8591]

Just compare how talkative he is here to his appearance on the Dick Cavet Show. He liked talking to the people who wanted to listen.

[@brendantaylor3570]

Golden Dupek The environment suits him more too here. The plants and flowers and no studio audience. On Cavet, his wry humor becomes his defense mechanism.

[@JessePesto]

honestly I never understood why Cavett got so much praise, he was a really awful host in my opinion.

[@guyincognito5706]

Golden Dupek He’s calmer and more at ease because he’s not coked out of his mind here. He’d aged so much since his Cavett appearance just four years prior.

[@marjanp4784]

Here George is talking all about music, on Dick Cavett show it was not all about music, therefore he wasn't entirely comfortable, but his great sense of humor kind of rescued him and turned that interview into a great thing...

[@TheJayson8899]

@@JessePesto I think he was great. Good sense of humour, let the interviewees talk, asked good questions.

[@comanchio1976]

Great interview. Thanks for posting 👍 So refreshing to have someone interview him regarding Indian music, who at least has some knowledge and genuine interest in the subject

[@kimberleyplatt3914]

I am a huge George fan! I love Ravi's music as well. Just discovered this post! Enjoyed it very much!☺️👍

[@leefluty6141]

this interviewer actually seems really knowledgeable and genuinely interested. kinda surprised me

[@179cpv]

Don Ellis was an accomplished progressive jazz musician and music educator in his own right. He often incorporated Indian and other non-Western musical elements and experimental time signatures into his own music. He died just three years after this interview was recorded. George seems genuinely happy to be talking about something other than the Beatles.

[@seaanemones]

His energy is so calming. I was stressing about a job just before this but now i feel anchored

[@joanlembo7845]

George was beautiful.So brilliant & talented. He is so very missed. ❤️

[@chrisnolan5607]

Nice to see such rare footage, 1975 the same year he did the Extra Texture album.

[@paperbackwriter100]

best part of interview 4:45 !! i think i remember a group called the BEATLES !

Wonderful

[@MrRLO8]

We love and miss you George ❤️

[@ajaxfilms]

What a great interview from both.

[@GsCe-m2d]

Love ♥️ You George

[@matthewgiffin9305]

George was an anomaly in the world of 'showbiz' or pop music. A genuine person, clear, intelligent and present.

[@tapeduk]

Don Ellis seems like such a nice guy it's a shame he died so young, just 3 years after this interview.....and George died too young as well in 2001

[@atroyz]

How a lower class northern kid (of Irish descent) with no formal musical training (or education past the age of 16?) ended up so accomplished and wise by his early 30s is quite amazing. This sounds like an interview with someone much older than Harry Stiles / Ed Sheeran (also both early 30s).

[@freechordsthetruthmarceden8277]

I get the feeling that this was one of the few interviews Georgie actually liked!?! 😍

[@jimmyv1301]

Possibly because the interviewer was the great Don Ellis!!!

[@samierathum2913]

Always love from 🇱🇰

[@ScottMasson]

The interviewer is super professional and respectful.

[@jacquismith3277]

Thank you for posting this interview. George was an interesting man, very talented and modest. I wish we could hear him talking more as he was inspiring and respectful . . .

[@BehemothTheCat14]

I collect George Harrison's interviews. I transcribed many of his ones (for example this one). Anyone who also collects George's interviews and who's also interested in? ANYONE!?!?

[@elenivoigt8994]

That's awesome! I don't collect but I heard about this book with collected interviews of George called George Harrison on George Harrison, Interviews and Encounters by Ahsley Kahn.

[@Phil-zd8tn]

I collect. Very rare ones, especially the ones from 1969

@Phil-zd8tn Great! Thanx for replying. I'd like to mail to you...

RIP George and Don

[@spiritof6663]

It's nice to see that the interviewer really has such respect and admiration for George as a musician and not just as a pop star. He actually analyzes the music and points out what was complex or innovative about it, and asks questions specifically about how the pieces were arranged. A lot of people missed Harrison's work with Shankar and just how sophisticated it was--far more sophisticated than anything John or Paul put out!

[@mariahelena3761]

Homem lindo em todos os sentidos

Pleasure.

[@mallorga1965]

I wish I could watch the performances that seem to go in between the interview in the final edition. Thanks anyway.

[@acw7120]

Such admiration for Ravi and George and all the music from India. I agree it deserves total attention. Somehow I cannot imagine Ravi asking people to "rattle their jewellery all those sitting in the front" lol

[@dr.buzzvonjellar8862]

George had a beautiful sense of melody. He had it

[@marjanp4784]

He never learned how to play guitar and yet created some serious masterpieces... ❤️

My favorite Beatle.Honest spiritual and not full of himself like (to remain unnamed).

[@suzannenoa9736]

Funny how I know exactly who you’re talking about. Anybody who wants to see it will see it. What stands out most to me is an underlying resentment that can’t seem to resist rearing its ugly head, even in unrelated conversations, and out of the blue. Dude needs to let it go before others start to pick up on it. But..Let the chips fall where they may

[@Lightner445555555555]

Ever notice how George's voice started to get deeper during the mid 70's?

[@ricknorris1466]

George cleaned up very nicely after his 1974 drug induced nightmare. He was such a deep and thoughtful human.

[@الهامفیضالهی]

He's 32 here almost unbeilivable

[@marjanp4784]

He was only 27 when The Beatles broke up... only 28 when he organized "The Concert for Bangladesh"... yeah Unbelievable!!!

26
