The irony is that Paul didn't allow this song to be put on Let It Be when George and John wanted it to be. All Things Must Pass, the album, was mostly songs that Paul barred George from putting on Let It Be.
@drumricky93 Oh please ! That's just a bunch of crap. Paul couldn't tell the other beatles what songs go one what album. Like John would have said, "sorry George Paul says no way on All Things Must Pass. He's the boss". Give me a break. The song is too slow. They all agreed. Paul is showing us how it should be played. Pay attention. Learn something.
It's funny - I like paul's music but it is "light" whereas Georges music mostly had depth. So hearing Paul sing this doesn't sound right it's just too light for me. George sings it with such depth. IMHO
It would have been nice if the Beatles (John and Paul) would have considered this song for a Beatles song in 1969. Its too bad at the time John and Paul didn't get behind George on this song, it may have been a masterpiece.
I think you forgot to add "as well" at the end of your comment. "I wish he had played this song as well" sounds more reasonable. You cannot refuse or replace "Something" when it is offered but the addition of "All Things Must Pass" makes it more amazing.
The Beatles members created so many songs that touch your soul and corazon , I wish this new generation listen to them, they will be amazed and they will love to be a better person in many ways.
Aw i love how he spoke spanish! =) he`s pretty good oh people is you love the beatles and you wish you met them go on quizilla and search "Love Me Do" its a story in your piont of veiw and its really sweet its actually really good! i found it today and it took me about 4 hours to read it all but it was worth it!! its 40 chapters long, but dont let that keep you from reading it!! it`ll make you go aww =) and laugh and then you feel like you really met the beatles =)
This may sound horrible, but do you ever look at all the aweful people still kickin it out there and ask yourself:" Why George?" I mean really, of all the people that could exit this planet "Why George??"
Paul knows how to pay tribute to his old friends, his lennon tribute medley was awesome, his something brought tears to my eyes both times i saw him play it in 2009 live, and his a day in the life is great too.
@OropherThranduil I love the tributes, but what I mean is: All the bad,sorry,sucky people that COULD have died but didn't.Why George? One of the kindest,most gentle souls out there. You know, God COULDA took that Spencer Pratt guy whilst he was a mere child and spared us a good deal of magazine coverage!!
:D Sorry I don´t know why Paul sings George´s song when he stopped being his friend after Hey Jude first came into Abbey Road studios ... Prooved yesterday. :D
@GolaTom You are an idiot. Paul and George were always close.Paul always wrote songs about George for George, in the spirit, Ballroom Dancing, Friends To Go.He played Something to him on ukulele. You fucking idiots don't think the Beatles fought in the studio over music, you are nuts. It was just caught on tape. Not even a fight. George was being a jackass trying to act like he was all hurt and stuff because he knew he was on camera. George the quiet Beatle.No, George the sly Beatle. Ed
@BonelessSausage I'm afraid that YOU are the idiot. George wasn't acting like a jackass because he knew he was on camera. He was fed up with having the same stupid discussions every day, just like the other three. And by the way, in that moment that you're mentioning, Paul was being a brat by trying to tell him how to play every single second of the song, so George kinda gave up and said that he would play anything he told him to, he even wouldn't play if he asked for it.
@ezeqyell You may not be an idiot...but you are delusional. So keep up the rants, you are good at it. No, I won't read your soon to be huffy puffy banal retort. Now move along, you are wasting bandwidth. Ed
@BonelessSausage Yeah, right. And you should go and read some books, or wait! I'll make it easier for you, just go and watch The Beatles Anthology, the last chapter. That should keep your mouth shut for a good while. And if you don't want to, then stop wasting your time pretending that you know so much about The Beatles, and keep on listening Falco and the "80's one hit wonders". Gee, why do I even care!!! You just can't take someone that is an 80's fan seriously. Take care my friend!!
@BonelessSausage I would agree with you about George on camera. But I believe George disliked Paul very much and held a grudge way to long. You can see it in the Anthology all those years later and George is still snippy.
@jake1052003 Pretty much my whole point is that George was just snippy. Don't believe they had much hate. Hell, George let Eric Clapton steal his wife. None of the Beatles liked losing. Once George started wrote better songs in mass he just got as cocky as John and Paul.
The BBC Radio2s Sounds of the 60s Beatles A-Z song for week startg 31JUL10. The prog explains that it WAS going to be released on The Beatles next album, but they broke up.

Credit to Paul for staying true to the feel and soul of the song. I was a little afraid he's try to put his stamp on it, he didn't. It's so hard to watch tho, brings back memories of days gone by. This is one great song when you've just been kicked in the gut. I'm now 50 years old, and damnit, I sure miss George.
He wrote this with the Beatles and it was rehearsed during the 'Let it Be' sess. He had so many songs at that time but J and P allowed only a few on 'Let it Be' or 'Abbey Road' .It's on the last Anth. CD as a Beatles song.Ironic that Paul sang it on 'Concert for George' and in his own concerts as a tribute. I read that one of the players who played in ;CFG' saw Paul practice this song alone on pianoin preparation for playing it at 'CFG'. he said he shed tearswatching Paul re-learn this one
why paul or john couldn't have taken time to write songs with george when he was alive....ecspecially paul...they didn't have time enough for him when he was alive..now the tribute is the crumb they throw to him...bogus
@Verdoux007 from what i know from all the reading about the songwriting situation, Paul & John started as soon as they met & it clicked & they just wanted to leave it that way, I don't think it was a personal assault on George or that George did not want to participate, but by the time i think Paul suggested something like that to George, it was too late, George was having some of his best successes like his work on Abbey Road, it was too late...
@Verdoux007 George mentioned that writing alone made it harder for him, and he always appreciated John and Paul's help (at least in the earlier days). I think he came to resent it when it became to controlling. Rumor has it that around 1966-67, John and Paul were considering writing with George, but it never panned out.
It's a shame that George didn't think much of Paul in his later years. Just because Paul's songwriting technique was... controlling. Not to say either was in the right. Just a pity that they couldn't have stayed friends. As is the case with him and John, though they did resolve -some- problems.
The press just reported on the animosity immediately after the Beatles broke up, so it was easy to forget these guys were four friends who loved one-another before and after the Beatles.
yeah, there was a concert dedicated to rememebering George in 2001. called "the COncert For George" all money wnet to the charity george set up called the Material World Charitable Foundation--George was so kind and religious and charitable. John refused to play in a chairty concert for Bagladesh, but George wrtoe a song called "Bangladesh' just for it, and paul and ringo plyed in the COncert For Bagledash too. See the DVDs!!
Whoa! I never knew that Paul played this! I don't really like how he played it fast, but I guess he needs to change it up a little. Besides, he's Paul McCartney!
it's called "theConcert For George 2001' paul,ringo and george's son dhani and Beatles' piano player Billy Preston and other famous guys played in it. it's available on DVD. also see THe COnert For Bagladesh- paul,george,and ringo played in it and george's song 'bangladesh' is so pretty and so true.
@4FabBEATLES McCartney didn't play in The Concert for Bangladesh. George asked, but he said 'No'. John was going to play, but when he said Yoko could not join them on stage, it fell apart.
Seekand, watch the vid interview with Paul right after George passed and you'll see how he felt. George was like his younger brother. I'm sure thats how he must have felt when he first met George.
Hey yugitso,You know that paul brought george into the band. John thought he was too young but soon changed his mind after he heard him play.George was a very disciplined musician. Besides that they were able to reherse at his house at that time without being hassled. PEACE!
@scrubdacocci gahh. the things i wouldnt give to have been alive when the beatles were together. tho im about the only 19 year old i know that is an insane beatles fan. haha. my generation must be tone deaf.
s2thalayer, friend, i WAS alive (about your age in fact) when they were together, and all it's done for me is make me old! JK. But the music will never get old. As far as your being the only young fan of the music, no, I teach HS and know a lot of Beatles lovers. Thx for the reply. Happy 2010!
I've been in at least 10 bands...you're always friends and brothers with those you share the glory of creation with. Despite all the bullshit arguments and power struggles, you manage to stay buds...
I played in bands for 40+ years. You don't bond with everyone you play with, because truth be told, there are as many assholes playing music as doing anything else. If you have an underlying connection with someone playing music together can create a union unlike any other. But it just doesn't happen with everybody.
I'm crying. I mean, I LOVE George and I found this song and ... Paul and agh. It's just too much.
I love them, not only George and Paul but also Ringo and John. They are practically my life, whitout them I wouldnt be the same person that I'm right now.
Covering the song of someone else is a tribute to the fact that they think this song is superior to whatever they may be doing themselves at the moment. Therefore it is more than appropriate. This was just a "hats off" to a fallen comrade.
editorial: This is more than worthy of THE BEATLES, and I think they might have thought so AFTER they split. I am disappointed in Paul 'effort' in covering it. I just don't think he put his all into it. Not in TRIBUTE TO GEORGE concert or tis one.
I think it's suspicious in his Effort. Obligatory or something. It just doesn't feel lke Paul wants to do it with respect. That's very had for me rto write.
I think this is very appropriate: Paul is the last one standing and lost Stuart, John, Linda and George along the way (Ringo excluded). 'All things must pass' in that sense is very Paul, at this moment.
i agree with that. george was a beautiful man, and his album after the beatles, this one, is simply beautiful. but with mccartney and lennon and harrison all together in one band....mamma mia...a one-off...will never happen again like that...
Rest in peace, George. Our music and wisdom will be missed by those that really matter.

@4FabBEATLES McCartney didn't play in The Concert for Bangladesh. George asked, but he said 'No'. John was going to play, but when he said Yoko could not join them on stage, it fell apart.

Seekand, watch the vid interview with Paul right after George passed and you'll see how he felt. George was like his younger brother. I'm sure thats how he must have felt when he first met George.

@yugitso ----i think you are correct,they were at one time best friends,even though after the breakup the friendship was strained
seekanddestroy09 2 years ago
Hey yugitso,You know that paul brought george into the band. John thought he was too young but soon changed his mind after he heard him play.George was a very disciplined musician. Besides that they were able to reherse at his house at that time without being hassled. PEACE!

@scrubdacocci gahh. the things i wouldnt give to have been alive when the beatles were together. tho im about the only 19 year old i know that is an insane beatles fan. haha. my generation must be tone deaf.

s2thalayer, friend, i WAS alive (about your age in fact) when they were together, and all it's done for me is make me old! JK. But the music will never get old. As far as your being the only young fan of the music, no, I teach HS and know a lot of Beatles lovers. Thx for the reply. Happy 2010!

I've been in at least 10 bands...you're always friends and brothers with those you share the glory of creation with. Despite all the bullshit arguments and power struggles, you manage to stay buds...

I played in bands for 40+ years. You don't bond with everyone you play with, because truth be told, there are as many assholes playing music as doing anything else. If you have an underlying connection with someone playing music together can create a union unlike any other. But it just doesn't happen with everybody.

I'm crying. I mean, I LOVE George and I found this song and ... Paul and agh. It's just too much.
I love them, not only George and Paul but also Ringo and John. They are practically my life, whitout them I wouldnt be the same person that I'm right now.
Just awesome, and lovely, and perfect.

Ese George era pura poesía. Pienso que sus letras se ajustan más a la sintaxis latina que los otros Beatles. +10

Covering the song of someone else is a tribute to the fact that they think this song is superior to whatever they may be doing themselves at the moment. Therefore it is more than appropriate. This was just a "hats off" to a fallen comrade.

This has been flagged as spam show
editorial: This is more than worthy of THE BEATLES, and I think they might have thought so AFTER they split. I am disappointed in Paul 'effort' in covering it. I just don't think he put his all into it. Not in TRIBUTE TO GEORGE concert or tis one.
I think it's suspicious in his Effort. Obligatory or something. It just doesn't feel lke Paul wants to do it with respect. That's very had for me rto write.

I think this is very appropriate: Paul is the last one standing and lost Stuart, John, Linda and George along the way (Ringo excluded). 'All things must pass' in that sense is very Paul, at this moment.

A beautiful and poignant tribute to the Quiet Beatle. George was the deepest and most thought-provoking lyricist of the Fabs, in my opinion.
mgerakos 2 years ago 6
i agree with that. george was a beautiful man, and his album after the beatles, this one, is simply beautiful. but with mccartney and lennon and harrison all together in one band....mamma mia...a one-off...will never happen again like that...
