John Lennon & George Harrison - Guitar Gently Weeps

[@Pulsonar]

The Beatles songs that moved me the most were all written by George Harrison. His songwriting spoke volumes, his thoughtful, spiritual and contemplative nature were his greatest gifts, and deeply embedded in his songs.

[@irishelk3]

Great guys who made the world exciting and brought happiness to millions of people, other music will fade away with time, but the Beatles will always have a place in peoples hearts.

[@MsTimothyswan]

John Lennon and George Harrison were, as far as I am concerned, the true heart and soul of The Beatles. They gave so much to the world of music and the world at large. Even in their solo careers, they continued to delight and amaze. Popular music has never been the same without them.

[@scotthemken9514]

George had said...."My biggest break in life was joining theBeatles....my second biggest break was leaving the Beatles."It was a pleasure to finally hear the LP, All Things Must Pass".All those songs that George could finally put on an album, thatthat never made it unto the Beatles records.

[@allymayful]

RIP George Martin. Thanks a million for helping to enable this fascinating group of young men to reveal their creativity to the world. l have loved your interviews here on YT that reveal what a lovely, and very creative man you were.

[@robsan52]

Very nice and too true.

[@jsmyers24151]

I've made my own personal collection of George songs during the Beatles, and I have to say, it's just as an enjoyable listen as any of it. You can definitely see how he progressed as a song writer. I think it's something that Olivia and Dahne should consider releasing themselves, if they can legally do it.

[@nigeh5326]

I agree George Harrison started off as a good songwriter and progressed over time to become a great one.

[@MrThedonhead]

Of course they can’t! There beatle songs

[@rebeccapeters1894]

:( RIP George and John,you will always be remembered

[@despoinakappa9412]

the charm of Beatles seems to live for ever !!!!!thank you again you were the greatest!!!!!!!!

[@thadirtybuttanife420]

George Martin is always honest when he talks about George's songwriting, about how he overlooked him because of the "shadow" he was in. But he always has no problems saying he should have paid a bit more attention to him, especially during "Rubber Soul", the sitar on "Norwegian Wood", "Taxman" on Revolver, then really taking off on the White Album, and of course "Something" and "Here Comes the Sun" on Abby Road, arguably two of the best Beatle songs ever, I.M.O.

[@MrCranberries17]

George Harrison wrote his very first song while he was ill. It was :Dont Bother Me", a brilliant song for his first. "Within You,Without You: is genius.

[@joripage1]

Paul did not get on stage with John the day they met, it's amazing the things people say in the documentaries

[@hauntboy]

That's right. Ivan Vaughan was a good friend of both, but they'd never met each other. Ivan took Paul along to see John play and to meet him afterwards that day. George and Paul had already been friends for 3 years at this point in time.

[@photographerjonathan]

the best Beatles documentary is ( the complete Beatles ) a total joy to watch assuming you're a Big Beatles fan, the first three quarters is the best before it gets into the stress and breakup of the band, but the entire video is very good

[@DexterHaven]

George's songs gained more respect after they broke up - 7 classics: Taxman I want to tell Here Comes the Sun Something (Frank Sinatra's favorite Beatles song) Savoy Truffle While my Guitar Gently Weeps Within You and Without You

[@carkenny2]

+Dexter Haven Who cares what Sinatra said about George's song. Harrison has more talent in his little toe, than Frank has in his whole body. Sinatra, like Elvis, never wrote a song in his life!! Any 50's crooner, can do what Sinatra did, and any male singer can "sound like" Elvis. (Tony Bennet's voice was the best of the era, far superior to Sinatra). Harrison, in any other band would have been the leader. Apples, and oranges. John, Paul, George, and Ringo. The Beatles. Never before, and never again!

[@DexterHaven]

Duh, Frank was twice the singer and entertainer George was and had tons of fans for 20 years before George was known. And a lot of people "cared" which was Frank's favorite song, dummy. That's why it was news and quoted. Gosh, the idiots on KZbin today! Teresa67 Factoid

[@carkenny2]

Boy, did you even read my Post? I thought it was clear, but apparently Dexter is clueless.(dexter was a great HBO series, so your NAME is cool) . Wow, talk about the idiots on you tube Dexter. Something is one of Frank's favorite songs. Gee, I wonder how that song was created? Every music lover on The planet knows what a great song George wrote, "something" will be recorded, again, and again, and be a classic song forever. Sinatra never wrote a song in his life. Sinatra is just one of many crooners. Tony Bennet was, and still is the best of the classic crooners. Sinatra even said so. Michael Buble, and a host of others can sing Sinatra as good, or even better than he did. Writing a classic song that will live forever? What George Harrison did? That is a total genius, Sinatra could never ever accomplish that.

[@DexterHaven]

+Teresa67 Factoid You are such a fucking idiot. You just repeat the same nonsense. You said, "Who cares what Sinatra said about George's song." I explained why people cared, dummy, because Frank was a legendary singer and entertainer, with millions of fans. You are the one who didn't read his own comment, it seems. Gosh.

[@carkenny2]

You know NOTHING about music. Re-read my previous post for a clue! That is if you can if you can get out of your mommy's basement.

[@jaderuri896]

I love the Beatles

[@2507040294]

I am glad my 2 mates & myself finished the 4 songs I wrote for each of The Beatles. In our way of thanking them for all the memories in there songs. Myself being 66 now & been playing guitar & singing for 55 years. We Canadian boys tried to release these songs for them, but all the politics of the music industry got in the way.

[@RickGibbonsOfficial]

Those pre-Rubber Soul albums were chock full of covers, but there were still a lot of Lennon/McCartney songs on those, most of the singles were Lennon/McCartney songs too.

[@ketchup5344]

The Beatles: an endless treasure trove of joy.

[@bluzzedude8111]

Paul never "Stepped up onstage" with the Quarrymen the day John & Paul met but something did happen that day...Liverpool has it's first Thunderstorm in over 10 years...The Gods were-a-watchin"

[@kevinseraphimday6373]

"Don't Bother Me", from their "First" record (really their 2nd called "Meet the Beatles". Their first, released on VeeJay records entitled "Introducing the Beatles", was a record of "covers" and little original material), was a Harrison song, and it's one of my favorite songs on that album! I should like to be able to write anything that good! It's a great song and easily stands up well to anything L&M were writing at that time. One of the rare Harrison songs that COULD have been released as a single. But, that is true about MOST Beatle songs in the early days before they quit touring.

[@Jswansinger]

This documentary opens up with so many mistakes, it is hard to watch the rest of it. Paul McCartney never joined Lennon on stage when he saw the Quarrymen for the first time. Glad to see some people on here who actually know their facts!

[@Aerie-wd4gi]

Beautiful pics at 16:49 .Glad he felt that happy back then . peace

Anybody following George's final years knows he was diagnosed with cancer in '97. Way before his attempted murder. Had he not gone thru that ordeal he might have beaten his cancer. Many errors in this documentary.

[@kidblonde]

The problem with this series of documentaries is that the makers obviously didn't get permission to use The Beatles', Lennon's & Harrison's music. But these guys were musicians & without including their songs it's hard to do them justice; hence they have to focus on biographical details & peripheral stuff instead of the substance, the music, which - unfortunately for these documentary makers - is what made these guys great & immortal (no matter how many deranged assassins turn up)

[@jonkillings2747]

John didn't die in Yokos arms. He died in hospital after the doctor's desperately tried to save his life. How can documentaries like this get it so wrong?

[@barnabyaprobert5159]

I believe that Harrison & Lennon's first co-writing was an instrumental called "Cry For A Shadow".

[@l8on99]

If you mean Clapton, yes. Eric waited ages before being with Patty after she split from George around 1974 and it was 2yrs after the divorce in 77 for them to marry or even move in together. George and Eric were also quite aware of their friendship and inter-relationships unlike the public or media makes it out to be. Unfortunately Patty had to deal with the same things from both men, infidelity, stardom, and drug use.

[@andy71501]

[@JoshDaveJones]

Paul did not "jump up on stage and join in with them".

[@barnabyaprobert5159]

Yeah, that's an outright lie. Off stage Paul demonstrated "20 Flight Rock" (with just 2 chords!)

[@Naeshabby]

only 1:59 minutes in and too many inaccuracies to carry on watching

[@hkitm]

Nice. Thanks. BTW, is there some reason why this video was uploaded with the wrong aspect ratio? (Should be 4:3)

[@selwynkatz519]

Can anybody tell me what is the introduction song called at the very start of this video..??? it is not ''inspite of all the danger'' as credited at the end. Other than that..thanks for posting.

[@dylansdad987]

Selwyn Katz It is In spite of all the Danger, written when the lads were known as The Quarrymen

[@PinoLoGiudice]

Selwyn Katz Obviously it isn't the original In spite of all the danger, but it's different song; a kind of Beatlesque song you can easily hear on unofficial dvd about them.

[@selwynkatz519]

Its a great song...was confused at first.

[@deedavis665]

It came on a day it rained for three days.I was trapped in the house,when they summarized behind the interview desk,i was going to be at the shopping center later., i begged for Beatles 65.later i took it home hid in my room,where i felt a lot better.

[@meeeka]

I'm enjoying this immensely BUT my video keeps dropping out at about 24 minutes, during the John and Paul Simon anecdote and doesn't come back until 29:, referencing George and Pattie's break-up. Five minutes in fifty minute doco is 10% lost. Anyone else have this problem?

George and John from the USA '2nd album' really kill 'Roll over Beethoven'. among their best covers.

[@robertglenn5398]

At roughly 43:20, I am reminded of the habitual idiocy of the media when reporting on celebrity and the quotes they consider worthy of note. The line ostensibly attributed to Harrison concerning the early days Hamburg experience, "...a lot of crazy Germans jumping around." Isn't this reporter referring to Germans jumping around as they avoided bombs falling from Royal Air Force and American Army AirForce bombers?

[@hohaia01]

Wasn't "In spite of all the Danger" a Paul McCartney song?

[@ziggyzappada4554]

George and Eric ( Clapton ) were very good friends. 'While My Guitar Gently Weeps' is a song George wrote, asking Eric if he would help him with the song, Eric asked if it was OK to be a guest on a Beatle's song, George said "why? it's my song". I wasn't a huge Beatle fan, more a 'Stones' Led Zepplin' ( Yardbirds prior ) 'Hendrix', Cream, Doors and Frank Zappa ( but who doesn't like at least a few Beatle's song's though?) 'The Double White ' album is their masterpiece (IMO)...it is my favorite Beatle song. Eric wasn't credited for his guitar playing on the album. I believe George wasn't a brilliant guitar player, but he was the one who played those great 'hooks'. I loved John Lennon and what he represented, a genius and he knew it (everyone else must have looked like fools to him ) I did see Paul McCartney and Wings in Adelaide, Australia in 1974' because I liked their first album 'Ram' and 'Band On The Run', I also just wanted to see one of biggest 'Rock and Rolls' Idols. ( Paul was with Linda then ) they also played Beatle's song's such as 'Yesterday' another great song by Paul. I do agree with John though, Paul did take the Beatles sound with him. 'How Do You Sleep At Night' is a song about Paul stealing 'The Sound of The Beatles'. I enjoyed the upload, thank you. R.I.P. John.

[@themihnea9582]

Ziggy Zappada i thought George brought Eric to the studio when the rest of the Beatles wouldn't accept to hear him out, so when Eric showed up they agreed to listen to his song

[@jaynewhite6699]

I thought Paul played all the instruments on Ram. I don't even think wings was formed when he made that album. And I thought how do you sleep was John criticizing Paul for announcing he was quitting the Beatles publicly before he let them know, and about the whole legal situation with the disbandment of the Beatles. I don't think Wings was formed when John wrote that song.

[@davidpadilla9468]

[@ReignX19]

What's the song playing at the very beginning?

[@FernGullyandtheLastKlumous]

+Sayan De "In Spite of all the danger", an early Beatles song. Paul tried to buy the record from a fan some years ago and he was not successful. It is the one record that Paul doesn't own.

[@ReignX19]

They did not go to Hamburg with Ringo Starr. This documentary is no correct,

They did on their last trip to fulfill a contract.

[@txeire]

umm, why would you do it of these two exclusively..?

[@cbak12sg]

The MBE was returned in 1969, and the reasons given were Vietnam, Biafra, and Cold Turkey slipping down the charts. I find the music a bit jarring: Beatles soundalikes with songs covered by the Beatles.

[@PepitoKawazaki]

paul didn't walk up on stage when the quarrymen where preforming at the fair, he auditioned between a show in the afternoon and in the evening. bullshit facts

[@christopherjenkins1176]

George best beatle.

[@mad4eastenders]

How ironic that they included the comment from John about him wanting to "catch" people who were cashing in on their name by releasing rip-off products back in the day. This documentary is obviously an attempt to do just that. The horrible music by The Overtures is a dead giveaway that it's C-list stuff right from the very beginning. It is mainly just cobbled together bits of news footage and stock interviews with new narration laid over. There are only two "real" interviews that were done for this film. One subject is prevalent throughout the film, but he is incredibly boring, and the other is a "school friend" of George's who just provides a brief anecdote about John interrupting George when he was talking to him when he once went backstage. Riveting!

[@animaction65]

Brilliant footage. Why slow motion I shall wonder. .? Lennon genius...Harrisson best guitar arrangments...I have another argument with my brother in luw about ringo being a good drummer or not. I wonder why some people in GB are such damn fools...Drummers will actually tell you that his style is ini table almost and his drumming very subtle and inventive...innovative.

how this video described the meeting of Lennon and McCartney is laughable.

[@ScottyMcYachty]

The factual errors in this film are too numerous to count. Paul did not jump up on the stage to play with the Quarrymen the when he saw John for the first time. Brian Epstein did not die while the Beatles were in India. He passed away during the time of Magical Mystery Tour. The Beatles were at one of Maharishi's lectures in Wales when they got the call with the news of his death. John did not return his MBE in 1973. He did so in 1969. He even jokingly cited Cold Turkey slipping down in the charts as one of his reasons! Was Cold Turkey released in '73? No, it was released in '69. Get your facts straight before you make a video like this!

its true and they were conned but, and its a big but,it got them through the death of brian, and that to me is the spiritual path of reason, don,t you think, after all there is a reason for all things, and that meeting with the maharishi is probably that reason.
