It is a testament to how well written a song is, that the song is not only great when the original artist plays, it but also when it is covered. This proves how great this song is, considering how well respected the song writing of Lennon & McCartney was. George Harrison wrote some of The Beatles' best songs, including this and Here Comes The Sun, Something, Taxman, If I Need Someone and I Me Mine, truly one of the greatest songwriters of all time.

[@scottchapin2323]

Peter Frampton does a great version of this song

[@impudentdomain]

well that is what made the beatles so great they had not one, not two, but three world class song writers and even Ringo wrote a few hits in his solo career. They also innovated so many techniques that became common in rock music.

[@simply_psi]

@scottchapin2323 exactly my point Peter Frampton is an exceptional artist and it is a testament to how well written this song is that he decided to cover it but also, how he was able to put his stamp on the song, the versatility of the song writing as a big part of that, the same with Steve Harley & Cockney Rebels version of Here Comes the Sun

[@rmcmariusable]

George will forever be my favorite Beatle.

[@simply_psi]

@impudentdomain for a band to have 3 of the greatest song writers in modern history is incredible all 3 have decent vocal ability and are/were also multi instrumentalists, which is another reason The Beatles were so innovative, as they took on instruments like the Sitar and Melotron when no one else in pop music was doing so, and as you said coupled with innovative production like using different recording speeds, using tape backwards, recording in corridors and stairwells to obtain different accoustics, they moved music on so far in a few short years. I genuinely don't think we would have had the amazing music we had in the 70's if it were not for The Beatles.

[@johnpbh]

Clapton's look as he finished that song is so emotional.... And then Dani touches him afterwards.... Just the best concert... I've got the dvd and you forget how many glorious songs George wrote... but they are all there... Simply the best tribute to a musician... Understated and heartfelt.

[@SotonCueMan]

I have the DVD too and it's amazing. Plus what a line up - also Gary Brooker from Procul Harem on keyboards, Andy Fairweather-Low, Albert Lee, Michael Mann, Jim Keltner, Ray Cooper...... stellar!!!

[@SotonCueMan]

Plus Jeff Lynne and Dave Bronze - how could I forget them! LOL!

[@johnpbh]

@@SotonCueMan Haha.. of course... Jeff in his hat.

[@dranet47]

There's another version at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame where Prince has an outrageously good guitar solo at the end. You'll be blown away, I promise - it's worth listening to this song again just to see that.

[@gloriagaddy]

He reacted to that one a few months ago. kzbin.info/www/bejne/eITKp2l5fa1_n9U

[@akastarchild]

Yeah, that version answers all the questions about whether Prince could play guitar or not.😅😅❤

[@janet8127]

I think he already did it - before he knew who George was 😲

[@jodij6280]

@@akastarchild It was a great video...until Prince showed up. As in this version, everyone collaborated. Prince was only there for selfish reasons.

[@theshadowfax239]

Yeah, imo that performance was superior.

[@joeheffernan5268]

Paul McCartney on piano, there is so much talent and rock history on that stage

[@w.geoffreyspaulding6588]

It’s remarkable how much George’s son looks like his dad. Sal, I LOVE how you let yourself go with your emotions while listening to music. Music Should move us, and your reaction reflects how I felt watching this for the first time.

[@GavinPartridge]

At the end of the concert Paul says Olivia (George's wide and Dhani's mother) said it looks like George stayed young and everyone else got old.

[@d.j.starling3559]

Loved the song since the first time I heard it on 'The White Album' when it was first released. This version is the BEST I ever heard!! You can hear the tears falling from Clapton's guitar.

[@revgurley]

Being a long-time Prince fan, I love the R&R HOF induction of George with Prince, Tom Petty, et al. Gorgeous song, and rockin' ending.

[@impudentdomain]

On a more personal note many musicians have people they liked and people they didn't get along with but everything I have ever heard about George Harrison is that he was loved by people. He was that good friend that everyone wanted to be with.

[@rmcmariusable]

I love how close Eric and George stayed even after Eric married George's wife, Patty. What a woman! Dozens of songs were written for her ❣️❣️ 2 talented guitar playing friends coming together to make a beautiful song.

[@greenworm7915]

It doesn’t get much better!! Saw Clapton in concert, he is the master! His brotherhood with George was a beautiful thing. He really paid tribute to him here!

[@wen-nz3sk]

Thru their ups/downs George and Clapton remained friends...mates. He slayed it the original recording amongst the 4, and they knew he was genuine and a genius. My fav Beatles track. ❤

[@wen-nz3sk]

PS, hard to see Dhani, he looks so like George, all the feels. 🥺

[@patticrichton1135]

@@wen-nz3sk Especially here in this concert, he looks like George did in 1964 with the Beatles. Paul even repeated a comment that George's wife and Dhani's mom, Olivia made about seeing Dhani up there. Something about him looking like young George but everyone else on stage got old. It's ON the video of the concert, towards the end.

[@markmatthews4481]

Watching Clapton on the guitar is priceless. I went to see Santana and Eric stopped by to jam with Carlos Santana, that was an incredible concert.

[@ed.z.]

There are a ton of reasons why this is amazing.

[@ChrisJones-cs2zd]

You have no idea how jealous I am of you getting to experience this for the first time. Still a constant goose bumps video for me. Glad you enjoyed.

[@pilesovinyl]

How tight a performance that was! With that many musicians it could have been a mess, but it wasn't. And those were all George's friends who wanted desperately to be there and to pay tribute to their fallen fellow musician and inspiration. I have the Concert on DVD in impeccable stereo and you couldn't have made a studio recording much better than that was. So tight and so flawless.

[@stuartbloch28]

Everything Ray Cooper (percussions) touches is gold. Love this guy...

[@Dee-JayW]

He is a genius ❤

[@johnwdaley4727]

Eric captures our hearts once again...

[@josefinelagerstrom2643]

Listen to more from the George Harrison memorial concert! 🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@jefferytheis4157]

Your emotional reaction, on first time hearing, says a lot about you Brother. Guys like me go back 50 years with this song, and think of George like a spiritual brother. And these were all people who loved George and were their to honor him after leaving his body. You were picking up on a lot.

[@barriehull7076]

Also on the keyboards/piano (left of EC, his right) was Gary Brooker MBE (29 May 1945 - 19 February 2022) English singer and pianist, and the founder and lead singer of the rock band Procol Harum. FIRST TIME HEARING Procol Harum - A Whiter Shade of Pale (LIVE Denmark 2006) 55K views 5 months ago.

[@mikeherrick549]

So many of this mans songs can bring me to tears, within in first seconds of playing. No one will ever fill his shoes with the soul and spirit he has

[@bella-xp7qd]

The young man playing guitar is George's son. Looks just like him.

[@skinicus]

Just the amount of talent on that stage alone...crazy

[@jgator6694]

That ENTIRE concert for George is incredible. Don’t stop here. Look up the song “Something” done at the concert for George. And “my sweet lord” at that same concert..

[@patticrichton1135]

YES, PLEASE react to "SOMETHING" from this same "CONCERT FOR GEORGE" You will love that too. Paul starts out playing the ukulele while singing it (he does this at his OWN concerts when he honors George with "Something" ) because George LOVED playing the ukulele and so it was Paul's way of saluting George. I think George gave Paul a ukulele, if I remember correctly.

[@lindasokolowski8506]

My Sweet Lord is an awesome song ❤

[@MarkmanOTW]

The whole concert is amazing. You have to treat yourself and watch the whole ' Concert for George! 🙏😊

[@jodij6280]

[@joannwalls5165]

Watch the whole concert for George it's absolutely amazing 😍

[@incamoran9532]

The concert for George was amazing. Some of the artists include: Paul McCartney, Ringo, Dhani Harrison, Jeff Lynne from ELO, Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers were there, Billy Preston on Keys, along with Gary Brooker form Procul Harum, the full-action, non-stop Ray Cooper heading up the percussion team, and some of Britain's best session musos. Immediately after While My Guitar, Eric picked up an acoustic and launched into My Sweet Lord, with Billy Preston on vocals. The band's version of Wah Wah was fantaastic.

[@ValkyrieValkyra]

Clapton's performance brings tears to my eyes every time I watch this.

[@jcdvt1]

A lot of VERY famous musicians in that

[@x0539p]

Jeff Healy sang this song as well and he played a mean guitar that rivalled Steve Ray Vaughn and Jeff was blind and played his guitar on his lap. Love this song. George Harrison wrote beautiful songs and he is sorely missed. Love your reactions.

[@beverlybrown2673]

This became a concert staple for Clapton, in honor of his friend. IMHO this performance is far better than the tribute concert that included Prince, as Prince made that one all about Prince, whereas this one is about remembering George.

[@user-bj3zd4sz6g]

So true!

[@johnthegreek5836]

This has always been my favorite song that George wrote, just fantastic

[@88pjtink]

SURE wish more people would react to this whole concert. It is one of the best I have ever seen, period. Just amazing, and so heartfelt. Thank you!!!

[@Cory737373]

@SalvoG this is one of the best concerts of all time.... I highly encourage you to check out the other songs they did on this one.... from If I Needed Someone to Give Me Love to Here Comes the Sun to Taxman to the ending with I'll See You In My Dreams.... it is an absolute masterpiece with all legends playing the songs. I only wish Roy Orbison was still alive to join them.

Wonderful reaction! Have you seen the Prince's Trust 1987 performance of this song with George Harrison, Ringo Starr, Eric Clapton,Phil Collins and more?

[@user-fd1fp8lp1v]

I don't understand why no one plays Clapton's "The Core", for me it's his best hit which is on the album Slow Hand, everything borders on excellence, a frantic rhythm a phenomenal saxophone solo and Clapton is fantastic at the guitar, I've only seen 3 posts on this piece, it's desperate!!!

[@user-cj1sg8uj3k]

You must watch the whole concert ! Starting with Georges great freind Ravi Shankar introducing an Indian music section, a performance by some of the Monty Python team (including a special guest Tom Hanks) then all of Georges best songs performed by the greatest musicians including Jeff Lynne, Tom Petty, Jim Capaldi, Gary Brooker, Clapton, Ringo, Mc Cartney, Dhani Harrison, Billy Preston to name but a few. Special appearances by Georges wife Olivia and Joe Brown ending the show with a very poignant version of 'I'll see you in my dreams" when Olivia and Dhani both appear on stage for an emotional finale with all of the musicians. It is a must see !

Julian released a LOT more than just a "few songs"! 7 albums, and 31 singles. He recently released his newest album called "JUDE" which has a black and white photo of him when he was 5 years old.
