Sivarama Maharaja (. com) has a wonderful podcast on this song.... Beware of Maya (darkness, the bright shining illusionary energy of the material world) I needed this too ... thanks George!! ~"It's not what we are here for" Hare Krishna.
George was a writer. He wrote some very good songs with the Beatles which were under appreciated. All Things Must Pass was an awesome album, it did show a bit of his depression over the Beatles break-up. Also it showed that he was thinking about his mortality, He went into a somewhat happy phase after that with the Traveling Wilburys and songs like "I've got my mind set on you" But he re-visited the spiritual with his "Brainwashed" album, which would be his last. He died a good soul!
Thank you irranicus for downloading this concert performance of George. This is my favorite George Harrison song. Today 11/29/11 is ten years since we lost him. and the world still misses him.
What a Timeless Song From a timeless album, the songs George recorded on that album "All Things Must Pass", and he did not think they were good enough, wow man today and for as long as we exist they are timeless classics, "What is life, my sweet lord, isn't it a pity, wah wah, hear me lord and of course beware of darkness... they'll be played for eternity, beautiful haunting melodies
I've loved George Harrison's album "All Things Must Pass" and have owned it since it was released... one of the ones that got replaced with cassettes and then cds... a favorite. But, anymore, I can't listen to "Beware of Darkness" without waiting for that thrill of Leon's voice.
A stunning and timeless song. Like others, I really only heard this song from the HBO-Scorcese documentary. It sounded like some of Jerry Garcia's songs later. I love the chord progressions and the words couldn't be more relevant than today.
Sorry, I don't particularly like people who puts the lyrics in the videos but just look at that. No offense but if this song don't get you, there's something wrong with you.
this so beautiful and I've never heard of it until finding Leon's version here on YT. Haunting lyrics--will have to listen to it over and over...premonitions of assassination ?
@btwall60 He also writes the phrase "beware of maya" which is the illusion that we are all separate beings, according to some sources on the net. I think he was saying that there are a lot of things to look out for, including the deluded, depressed people that can "hit you and hurt you"
Respond to this video... Saw Martin Scorcese's film George Harrison: Living in the Material World the same weekend I heard this song for the first time.. George and Olivia describe having to fight for their lives against a mentally ill young man who broke a spear from a statue of the archangel Michael that was on their property and then charged into their house and up the staircase after them. The film is over 3 hours long but George's life deserves that much attention-Interesting!
So encouraged that others are Remembering hearing these words in addition to the unparalleled sounds~~~ nothing like it before or since....Leon & George were so far beyond themselves...Leon still is. .Haunting is right on...deep down inside the soul and head......"soft shoe shufflers dancin' down the sidewalk".....doesn't get any better.. Friends, DO " Beware of Darkness". Yes, the documentary is impressive....been in a completely different head space since watching it a few times...

LEON WAS SO AWESOME. THERE JUST IS NO SPIRIT IN MUSIC THESE DAYS. I WISH ANIMALS WERE NOT ABUSED AND SLAUGHTERED EITHER YET FOOLS ARE SO BLIND IN DENIAL OF THE DARKNESS BEHIND THIER SUFFERING. GLAD PAULSTILL GETS THE MESSAGE OUT. SO MUCH NEGITIVE VIB FROM THE YOUTHS THESE DAYS. MAKE THE CONNECTION IN ONE ASPECT FOR PEACE. WATCH "EATHLINGS' ON YOUTUBE, IF ONLT THE FIRST 5 PARTS. ALL THE BEATLES MADE THE CONNECTION. BOTH ARE DEAD CAUSE PSCHO EVIL MEN KILLED THEM TOO. BEWARE OF DARKNESS. PEACE.
Someone ask the question "who wants to see Leon Russell's face" while others are playing! I'll answer that later. This song, performed and written, by the late great George H. is most excellent. One of his better cuts. And, this song, sang and composed, by the great Leon Russell is worth hearing and seeing. There are few composers of this man's caliber; then or now!
@richardmbowman I was at this concert, and yes, it was awesome. The tickets were only $7.50. Try to see a concert of this caliber for that kind of money today...lol...last time I checked my stubs were worth $300 each, and that was before Harrison died. They're not for sale. There aren't very many of them around.
The Concert For Bangladesh was shown in movie theaters across the country. I went to see it at the old Imperial Theater in downtown Asheville, NC. It was also released as an album, which won the Grammy for Album of the Year, beating out Don McLean's "American Pie" that year.
@clucaspik Great Haunting melody, but the Words are More important..."Beware of Thoughts that Linger"...."Winding all around your head", They can hurt you"...George was so smart beyond his years..Part 2 of the Scorsese Documentary is so deeply revealing about his spiritual side. Its on HBO All this Month...im going to see it for thr 3rd time tomorrow night, 'Remenber "All Things Must Pass"
@judecreek2 - No, I graduated, washed dishes for 5 years, became suicidal and flew to maui with 12 cents with the intention to die. I was surrounded by wild mangos and coconuts and changed my mind about dying. I got a job washing dishes at a horrible restaurant and that's where I was introduced to George Harrison, who was staying at my boss' place. George, not knowing better, hung out with the wrong people, ate some mushrooms, fell down and cracked his head on a rock. True story.
@bamboosa Wow! Quite a tale, there! It's a funny thing, youtube, that is. I was listening to Concrete Blonde's version of this song and thought I'd look up the original G. Harrison version. To boot, I grew up in Kailua, Oahu...not that there's much relavence there, but anyhoo...Glad your still around to tell the tale! Aloha, brah!
@klekota57 - After I graduated from high school I had to register with the draft (71) and you can bet I was sweating bullets waiting for my lottery number. I'm not built for the service and I was prepared to drop a zillion mics of acid for the psyche test. I had no idea the marines loved George, maybe Jimi too. It warms my heart.
I was 16 years and this was one of the events i still remember if it was yesterday. Goerge and Leon made a impression in my soul that with this song. R.I.P. George thanks for the great songs.
Emerging from the shadows of John and Paul with evocative songs, George showed he was their equal. Whether or not they knew how brilliant he was, one thing is sure: with a little help from his friends, he recorded and played a life-affirming masterpiece.
who are those 7 people who are vote down the video,even if is asweome is not famous enough,so it is suposed to be visited by the fans,anyway just respect this legend
@blogmynoggin I've often thought the same of Leon's absence at George's concert, each time I take a peak at a few songs.
They were great friends long before "Bangladesh."
I can't believe he wasn't invited, so I've written it off to the possibility that Leon was so sick, he couldn't get out of bed. I'm sure you wil agree that only something of that sort, or maybe a serious illness in his family as well, that kept him away.
@rockinroller7 Dylan was performing at the Patriot Center in Fairfax, Va. on November 22, 2002. Not sure if that's a good excuse or not for missing George's concert tribute- but thats the facts.
@candelise Just wanted to add, of course the tribute for George was months in planning, making it a 99% bet that the line-up, which I believe included Dylan was in was already sent out so all could make arrangements, so again, as I wrote before: a family issue had to be it, even tough I read a blog that said Dylan was on tour but did a song for his that same night of the concert for him, and it's supposed to be on YT, but I tried every "Title," I could think of and found nothing.
@4FabBEATLES Not that I was there, but I was well aware that Dylan played at the Bangladesh gig and I recall the news at the time! My issue was that Leon was not at the 'Concert for George' and Dylan was absent ALSO!
@candelise Leon was recovering from surgery to repair a fissure near the brain pan over his sinuses. The fissure caused headaches worse than migraines and brain fluid to leak out of his nose. He's had 3 more surgeries for the same problem since, the latest being only 3 weeks before performing at this years Grammy's, and only a month before recording his duet album with Elton John.
@candelise I though you were implying Bob and Leon hadn't played with George musch period. anyway, now you have the story, Bob was doing a concert, Leon was sick
@candelise Dylan did participate in the Concert for Bangladesh!- Dylan and George played a duet of "If Not For You", but the reason Dylan missed the Concert for George was @rockinroller7 Dylan was performing at the Patriot Center in Fairfax, Va. on November 22, 2002. Not sure if that's a good excuse or not for missing George's concert tribute- but thats the facts.
@4FabBEATLES Dylan played more than one song at the Concert for Bangladesh-he, George and Leon played "Just Like a Woman", and a few others. The videos are here, you just gotta look for them. I don't know why they're not featured as prominently as the rest of then.
@candelise@rockinroller7 Dylan was performing at the Patriot Center in Fairfax, Va. on November 22, 2002. Not sure if that's a good excuse or not for missing George's concert tribute- but thats the facts.
@4FabBEATLES I suppose it's fair to say that Dylan, having always been "a man alone," (except for his time with the Wilburys) when it comes to touring, deciding to not take a night off to be at George's tribute, is just part of who he is. (Who am I to judge his motives, in any case?)
It seems somewhat cosmic I suppose, but George was probably very much delighted to hear Dylan do "Something," to show his love for George.
George wrote some of the most beautiful and surprising chord changes into his songs. This is one of his best. Stunning and beautiful. To say nothing of his lyrics. The man was a prophet. RIP George and thank you.
Ditto, ditto and ditto. I grew up in the Beatles' era. George was truly a class act with a ton of dignity. There is no real music out there today. This is the real stuff and will live on forever. p.s. what a truly great piece of music regardless of who performs it. Thanks Goerge.
From the Beatles thru the Willburys, George remained a class act all the way. And of course, Leon was, is, and will always be The Master of Space and Time!
Geroge was so wise,spiritual and a wonderful musician. It's sad people never appreciated him much and now he's gone. he may be the "quiet Beatle" but when he said anything it was important!
What an incrediably beautiful song, listen to the lyrics- there's a lot of wisdom in them. God I am so glad I grew up during that era. RIP George and Billy Preston.
George Harrison has a unique timbre of voice. It's just very pleasing to hear his music. George is the most humble musician I've ever listened. He don't allowed the success put a end in his life, like Lennon. Anyway, a exemplary musician and being human.
Actually, "All Things Must Pass" was not Harrison's debut LP. He recorded and released "Wonderwall Music" and "Electronic Sounds" before "All Things Must Pass."
the whole world mistreated yoko, George was one but they were fine after a while, he said live in an interview ut was nothing to do with Yoko that the Beatles split also he played one of her boyfirends in 'Jealous Guy' - looking beautiful and elegant as ever with Yoko on his arm, also gorgeous.
Thanks for posting this highlight of the Bangladesh concert!
Too bad the commentary below has degenerated into a nonsensical, inappropriate and entirely out-of-place screed about whether or not Yoko Ono was mistreated!!!
this song is bewitched. so beautiful and spooky at the same and one time.
one time i suddenly woke in the middle of the night, for no apparent reason, this song playing loudly and clear in my head. a lifetime won't be enough for me to describe the acute, scary and incredibly beautiful feeling it provoked in me in that moment.
@dodotangens I had a dream last night that I was there with George Harrison in the mountains somewhere and he was warning me to Beware of Sadness, as if it were life threatening for me. And lately in real life I was very very sad after a bad experience and the sadness lasted days. Then the dream went on to other things like the L.A. fires last summer. I often wake up with the song All Things Must Pass going thru my mind lately.
John Lennon refused to participate in this conert saying 'chairity events usually were a rip off' and he was kinda right. the money from this benefit concert was mishandled and arrived in bagledash 3 yrs later.
not exactly... but it was sure a convenient out when that turned out to be the case! Macca didn't participate because Ringo participated and John was going to and he didn't want to confuse people into thinking there was a Beatles reunion happening. John left at the last minute because George got bitchy about Yoko appearing with him. Maybe if Clapton had stepped in on Yoko's behalf he would have let her play.
I cried watching this!!! He was just such a beautiful man and he understood life so well!!!

Why wasn't Leon at the "Concert for George"? Glaring omission.
blogmynoggin 1 year ago
@blogmynoggin I agree. I always wondered why Leon wasn't a Wilbury.
judecreek2 1 year ago
@blogmynoggin I've often thought the same of Leon's absence at George's concert, each time I take a peak at a few songs.
They were great friends long before "Bangladesh."
I can't believe he wasn't invited, so I've written it off to the possibility that Leon was so sick, he couldn't get out of bed. I'm sure you wil agree that only something of that sort, or maybe a serious illness in his family as well, that kept him away.
Peace.

@rockinroller7 I always wondered why Dylan was absent at the Concert for George also? Does anyone out there know why? Must be a simple thing.
candelise 1 year ago
@candelise Not sure.
The only "Speculation," I've read was that Dylan was on tour, but that seems totally absurd to me, given the importance of George's event.
Even if he had a performance the same night, it could have been cancelled, rescheduled, and he would have been there.
Just as I speculated about Leon's absence, the only thing I can imagine would be an issue in Dylan's family.
I can't believe for a moment he wouldn't have been invited.
Peace.

@rockinroller7 Dylan was performing at the Patriot Center in Fairfax, Va. on November 22, 2002. Not sure if that's a good excuse or not for missing George's concert tribute- but thats the facts.

@candelise Just wanted to add, of course the tribute for George was months in planning, making it a 99% bet that the line-up, which I believe included Dylan was in was already sent out so all could make arrangements, so again, as I wrote before: a family issue had to be it, even tough I read a blog that said Dylan was on tour but did a song for his that same night of the concert for him, and it's supposed to be on YT, but I tried every "Title," I could think of and found nothing.
Peace.

@4FabBEATLES Not that I was there, but I was well aware that Dylan played at the Bangladesh gig and I recall the news at the time! My issue was that Leon was not at the 'Concert for George' and Dylan was absent ALSO!

@candelise Leon was recovering from surgery to repair a fissure near the brain pan over his sinuses. The fissure caused headaches worse than migraines and brain fluid to leak out of his nose. He's had 3 more surgeries for the same problem since, the latest being only 3 weeks before performing at this years Grammy's, and only a month before recording his duet album with Elton John.

@4FabBEATLES Dylan played more than one song at the Concert for Bangladesh-he, George and Leon played "Just Like a Woman", and a few others. The videos are here, you just gotta look for them. I don't know why they're not featured as prominently as the rest of then.

@4FabBEATLES I suppose it's fair to say that Dylan, having always been "a man alone," (except for his time with the Wilburys) when it comes to touring, deciding to not take a night off to be at George's tribute, is just part of who he is. (Who am I to judge his motives, in any case?)
It seems somewhat cosmic I suppose, but George was probably very much delighted to hear Dylan do "Something," to show his love for George.
Thanks for clearing it all up.
Peace.

George wrote some of the most beautiful and surprising chord changes into his songs. This is one of his best. Stunning and beautiful. To say nothing of his lyrics. The man was a prophet. RIP George and thank you.

Ditto, ditto and ditto. I grew up in the Beatles' era. George was truly a class act with a ton of dignity. There is no real music out there today. This is the real stuff and will live on forever. p.s. what a truly great piece of music regardless of who performs it. Thanks Goerge.

George Harrison has a unique timbre of voice. It's just very pleasing to hear his music. George is the most humble musician I've ever listened. He don't allowed the success put a end in his life, like Lennon. Anyway, a exemplary musician and being human.

the whole world mistreated yoko, George was one but they were fine after a while, he said live in an interview ut was nothing to do with Yoko that the Beatles split also he played one of her boyfirends in 'Jealous Guy' - looking beautiful and elegant as ever with Yoko on his arm, also gorgeous.
Anyway lovely song and footage xxx

this song is bewitched. so beautiful and spooky at the same and one time.
one time i suddenly woke in the middle of the night, for no apparent reason, this song playing loudly and clear in my head. a lifetime won't be enough for me to describe the acute, scary and incredibly beautiful feeling it provoked in me in that moment.

@dodotangens I had a dream last night that I was there with George Harrison in the mountains somewhere and he was warning me to Beware of Sadness, as if it were life threatening for me. And lately in real life I was very very sad after a bad experience and the sadness lasted days. Then the dream went on to other things like the L.A. fires last summer. I often wake up with the song All Things Must Pass going thru my mind lately.

John Lennon refused to participate in this conert saying 'chairity events usually were a rip off' and he was kinda right. the money from this benefit concert was mishandled and arrived in bagledash 3 yrs later.
4FabBEATLES 1 year ago
not exactly... but it was sure a convenient out when that turned out to be the case! Macca didn't participate because Ringo participated and John was going to and he didn't want to confuse people into thinking there was a Beatles reunion happening. John left at the last minute because George got bitchy about Yoko appearing with him. Maybe if Clapton had stepped in on Yoko's behalf he would have let her play.
