Tom Petty And The Heartbreakers - I Need You (Taken from Concert For George)

[@keithhakanson7040]

A George Harrison classic that doesn't get the recognition it deserves.

[@Themanwhocameback2]

It was on the HELP soundtrack, but was never a single. I think it's better than Lennon's title song.

[@keithhakanson7040]

@@Themanwhocameback2 Great movie great soundtrack. And I would have to agree with you, "I need you" is a better song than "Help." To be honest "Ticket to Ride" and "You've got to hide your love away are better than "Help."

[@RichardCrews]

My favorite of George's for sure. Wonderful song.

[@garycunningham9216]

Had to fight to get one of his songs on every album. Most of his songs were #1 hits.

[@GoldienOC]

Imagine how difficult it was for Tom to sing this gorgeous song for his dear friend George. Play on guys.. we miss you both so so much.

Tom Petty makes this song seem much more sad than George's version. Hearing him sing it made me appreciate the song a lot more than I did in the past.

"... _more_ sad..." ? lol "sadder"

It's true. Tom did a wonderful performance. I love him! ♥

[@MrDaiseymay]

His emotional tone transfer's to his listeners. more.

[@drjerry5389]

This was one of my favourite songs when I got the Help album as a 13-year-old in 1988. The few Beatles fans I had among my friends said this song was bs. I later heard other musicians saying Help would have been a better album without "I need you" and "Its only love"??? I dont get it?? How and why?

[@soulscanner66]

This emotional performance adds a whole other dimension to the song.

[@lennonista9]

I totally agree. This sweet, understated song is done to perfection by baby Beatle Tom. He adds a warmth and tenderness that takes it to another level.

[@gottaownit2]

Yes, and I think the slightly slower tempo also makes it feel more heartfelt. Beautifully done.

[@savagebiker1879]

You just summed up like half the performances in this concert

[@MrDaiseymay]

Best song that George ever wrote. Should have been on a Beatle Album.

[@walkntallowens5893]

@@MrDaiseymay Its on The Help SoundTrack

[@ursuladavid999]

I feel such emotion in Tom’s performance of this beautiful song. You constantly see Tom looking up, as if to Heaven, in thoughts of...’I really miss you man, I still need you in my life’. I don’t know how Tom got through this song, but he did, in reverence to his Dear Dear friend...

One of my favorite George songs, and Petty's vocal just adds a whole other dimension to it

[@NeanderthalJoe]

I can hear the sadness in his voice

[@Aaron-ze1io]

Ikr good old tom, probably understood george better than any of the beatles themselves, George always looked his happiest when he was with him and the wilburys

[@giogwgiog]

@@Aaron-ze1io Interesting point, was older when he was with the wilburys though, more settled.

[@BastDG]

Hadn't heard it before tonight that I recall - but the song obviously said everything he was feeling about George.

@George Parasol true, but with the others he never did, no ego involved just pure friendship.

[@alex.starostin]

It's crazy to think that this song wasn't even included in any official Beatles best of compilations. It's one of their best for sure

[@RoanPonie]

Yes it is. I was never really a Beatles fan,but I do love George.

[@elieburel8620]

👍🏿

[@HueyRocks23]

Last year I sang every Beatles song at karaoke and my surprise favorites were both this and "You Like Me Too Much" from the Help! album, And both written by George.

this song was included in the double album Beatles " love songs " came out in 1976

I think Tom's version is far more better than The Beatles . There's some melancholy in his voice...

[@johngerson7335]

@Yulianti Great way to put it. I agree with you too.

[@loZoneranger560]

"Rly took good care of this song" is such a sweet way of expressing Tom's performance. One can tell he loved George's music.

I wish the camera person would have shown some shots of Mike Cambell playing those beautiful guitar sounds.

[@MrLenoir99]

There were, I believe, thirteen cameras filming all the time, so what you rightly lament is probably the editor's choice. In the same vein I am sorry we see no closeup of Klaus Voorman (George's oldest friend, save for Paul) who was on bass for two songs towards the end (and was not acknowledged by Clapton, either).

[@rickflood8360]

eric and paul and billy preston all did fantastic tributes to Sir George, but I have to admit that Tom blew it out of the water when he sang George's "I need You".....youy can relate to the words and to Tom Petty's incredulous voice......

[@alandynin1087]

There's a lovely melancholy to many of George's songs - including this one.

[@MrDaiseymay]

All the more-so, as it was written /recorded by George, as a message to his former wife, in his repsonse to to their marrital break-up

[@ThinWhiteAxe]

Tom has a skill for bringing out that melancholy too, and in this performance, he probably felt every bit of it.

[@johnm.5741]
