George Harrison and Ringo Starr, w/Eric Clapton, Jeff Lynne, Elton John....

[ThaisRowney]

I think that the micro is weeping

[cygnus53]

It was really cool to see Elton give props to George and Ringo....without them none of us would be here. How true. The Beatles started it all and changed rock and roll forever.

[robkal56]

Very classy of Elton

[theahah88]

i like this vid for Ringo!

[lithead]

What a God-given talent and true gentleman we lost when we lost George Harrison! It's difficult to believe that at least three musical geniuses stumbled together into a band by accident. What seems more likely is that their work *together* brought out the genius in each. George, especially, seems to have blossomed into a full and original artist during his time in the Beatles.

There was so much great music - as well as his encouragement of other artists - that we lost when George passed.

[fabyan1966]

UNICOS TODOS LOS QUE STAN AQUI...IMPERDIBLE,EXCELENTE,MA­GICO,EMOCIONANTE,SUBLIME...

[zachhoran]

The dude for Level 42 is out of place here. I guess they're better remembered in the UK than the US outside of the two pop hits they had here, which were recent at the time.

[77Stringer]

@zachhoran not remembered as greatest bassist of his generation then? Mark king admitted he got the gig through Elton John who rated him and his band.

so I'll go with that if I may....?

[conference11]

Ringo strolls on stage knowing he is the fkn best!

[eudesbaptista]

George,obrigado por voce deixar um legado musical tão extasiante.

[JohnCee754]

Perhaps the best ever version of this amazing song... especially the end with two incredibly emotional guitar masters -- Eric Clapton and George Harrison -- trading spine-tingling licks -- and the look of warm friendship between them -- oh man, to have been in the audience that night... WOW! Absolutely fantastic.

[MrIlovenuggets123]

I can see Ray Cooper in the background playing the tambourine

[NILMARINO007]

is beautiful this music , my favourite

[TheWalter1969]

Me encanta esta canción.

[golfsmoore]

dumbest comment I have ever heard belongs to ms70sflowerchild ... thx for the chuckle.

[ZZqezza]

I truly suprised that the amount of talent on the stage didn't start a black hole

[MichaelFunken]

Nearly all my heroes: George Harrison singing, Ringo Starr and Phil Collins at the drums, Eric Clapton and Jeff Lynne playing guitars, Elton John on piano - wished I´d been there.

[AbbeyRoad52]

George Harrison, Ringo Starr, Elton John, Eric Clapton, Jeff Lynne, Phil Collins, Mark King...

Good God what a lineup!

[paulcussion12]

Cool! Is that Jools Holland on piano? I think it is! Nice to see a lot of my musical heroes together on stage.

[RaynaKapek]

this is good it does not looked stretched out like the widescreen version of another at that link, both R good, yours is better even if not in simulated HD like theirs., thumbs up!

[cathytreks]

@RaynaKapek thats because they copied my video I posted here ages ago and and messed with it, and so there you are mate thank you!

[ViniciusFiocco]

the original solo, from white album, was made by eric clapton I think so.

He's awesome. clapton is god.

[fpetrozz]

@ViniciusFiocco

the solo was played by clapton.

its a harrison song people. read!!!

[MrTheDijon]

@ViniciusFiocco

Yes the original solo in the original song was made by Eric Clapton in 1968

[Garethologist]

cancer sucks

[bjb8847656]

What an awesome line-up and sheer talent - Thank you for sharing - BRILLIANT!

[chefguy47]

It is still a great song. hell, they all are...

[karlosed]

a real battle fender vs gibson

[ViniciusFiocco]

George should had played Taxman instead While My Guitar Gently Weeps.

The prince would love it.

[TheFishMiester]

Phil is trying to outdo Ringo on the drums, and he can't quit pull it off !

[justphil101]

BRITS at work showing how it should be done. Just open your eyes and see what BRITS have done for music for so long. Ant then there is Mr.Jeff Lynne, why are you ALWAYS in the background. Mr. Lynne, decency should cause your KNIGHTHOOD

[EspioArtwork]

This is the Song that the Musicians Come Together

[julicarpediem]

I love George and especially this song

[tammy1284]

Que musicos muchachos lastima que hoy dia no hay muchos como ellos

[Mehrunhess]

Who is the keyboard player in 0:36 ?

[schage54]

@Mehrunhess Keyboard player at 0.36 is Jools Holland

[peterb2589]

This is George Harrison at his best.

[XxCheekyPaddyxX]

You just gotta love them. <3

[Lubbylove89]

9th anniversary of George's death today, may he RIP.

[jan825]

Awesome!!!!!!! Nothing else to be said really!!!

[RiccardoAlcaraz]

It's weird to see Clapton whit a Guibson Guitar O_O...

[MNorton1972]

@RiccardoAlcaraz Thank you! That's what I was thinking. I mean, I know he recorded it on a Les Paul but we don't see him play one often. BTW, anyone lucky enough to be there had great luck, wish I could've been there. Thanks to cathytreks for uploading it.

[OropherThranduil]

@RiccardoAlcaraz

you definitely aren't a yardbirds, bluesbreakers or cream fan then.

[cathytreks]

Phil Collins is mentioned everywhere.... to the person who did not look hard!

[VoxMax1200]

Extremely beautiful. Anyway, one of the best songs about life, no doubt about it.

George's guitar playing on this one is so exceptionally clean it amazes me.

[chivovivas]

I look at the mic and I think "this is turning"

[turntapzap]

My man George!

[Mungus08]

What concert was this???

[cathytreks]

@Mungus08 It was part of the Prince's Trust Live TV special we dubbed for the label as a promo off tele in 1987.

[MovieReRunner]

Damn! Looking at this makes me remember HOW MUCH i miss George Harrison!

[dluxter]

ALL STAR LINEUP!

[Ms70sFlowerchild]

@cathytreks Liking or disliking you has nothing to do with my thoughts on the video. I know that most guitarists collaborate at times, then & now. George is a great singer & I didn't mean to imply different. I just think Eric sings this particular song better than George. I don't know you so how could I have an opinion about you? It's a great video regardless of who is singing. Sorry that I offended you. That was not my intention. I just think you took my original comment too seriously.

[cathytreks]

@Ms70sFlowerchild All I want is peace and love and understanding between people, the world needs to love more , who is better? does it matter really now that George is gone?, Eric or George are both as good as one another and were very good friends who loved and respected each other tremendously in life.

[Ms70sFlowerchild]

Great video. I think Eric should have sang it though.

[cathytreks]

@Ms70sFlowerchild LOL! It is a George Harrison BEATLES song, don't be so ridiculous.

[Ms70sFlowerchild]

@cathytreks ..I don't care whose song it is. Eric has sang it before and he sounds much better. LOL...don't be so serious!!!

[bfish89ryuhayabusa]

@cathytreks Eric WAS on the original, though...

[MrTheDijon]

@cathytreks

Clapton did the Lead guitar in the original song in the 1968

[Numpty17]

Wow fantastic. Jeff & George are my all time favorites. Put on a good pair of headphones & listen to the best base player in the world. Brilliant.

[stevedrums]

Did Phil Collins sleep at all during the '80's?

[QueenBeatlesWings]

all the best rockers- too bad Paul only came to this event a year later- not at the same time

[haricougar]

Interesting to see George on stage in 87. Believe it had been a long time since performing live. He seems nervous & having trouble with mike. At that time Patti Boyd was married to Eric Clapton

[ANDI1968able]

CHRISTOPHER'S SONG...

[TheVeganHere]

I've seen Clapton in concert many times. I have also seen Elton(he was my first). I saw George in concert back in the day. Seeing this video reminds of how much I miss him. I can't believe he is gone. :-(

[golo5000]

Too good, too nice, legendary.......

[HRHStewartIIRegina]

a luv this somg

[charles43110]

@garebear1015 that is ERIC CLAPTON!!!!

look at the grin on his face when GEORGE HARRISON

lays it down. There shared rift here is priceless.

And George is gone now also.

I am sooooooo grateful this is posted here.

Makes me want to cry.

[MrLexanderluther1986]

I'm surprised heads weren't exploding all through the audience

[ANDI1968able]

my boys,one more time, mates

[pmpcorrea]

What a dialogue betwen the Harrison & Clapton's guitars! (*o*)

[cathytreks]

@garebear1015 This was George Harrison's own song, and Lennon (rip) had little to do with it , but Eric Clapton and Ringo sure did both in 68 and here again in 1988. Pity Paul wasn't in the set though...sigh.

[cooltooth112]

@cathytreks George made the comment that John and Paul would take this song more seriously if Clapton showed up in the studio to play lead on it.

[politoojete]

Santas combinaciones Batman

[maracuja10]

It is hard for Clapton to play guitar...somebody help him there. =p

[rorymacve]

Thats probably why they had all those other guitarists playing with him

[1987Dantheman]

george harrison is my fav beatle, amazin song , george is and will always will be the best , love all his songs , R,I,P george sadily missed ,

[RepublicOfUs]

That mike of George's reminds me of a certain Beatles preformance......

[fpetrozz]

A very young Jools Holland on Keyboards

[cathytreks]

@fpetrozz Yes that's right and he is acknowledged (US English spelling) at last!

Truly Meant to add Jools from the start, but w/your help remembered just this year!

Thnx! - Though he was included in "and other greats " section, not unlike how The Professor and ,Maryanne oft got left out of the opening credits on Gilligan's Island!? :-D

[pycargue]

What a superb period ,very nostalgic, very talented person, as george, clapton, bee gees brother ,they enhance the real music , god bless you all guys !!! it is an end of a great era !! George where you are , God bless you Sir, here on earth, thete is now stupidity, every day, we've W Bush, we'v got stupidity as american idol,lady gaga , what a shame comes on this planet, when class, goo behaviour, dignité leaves the anglo-saxons !!!

[jeffrogasket1992]

George, Ringo, Jeff Lynne, this one's got 'em all!

[rorymacve]

Sure does! =-D

[RONLAST]

It seems to me that it took George a long time to learn to use his voice to it's best advantage. He got better and better. His singing is great here, and what's more you can see that he's enjoying it.

[Md2802]

lol at the mic turning!

[mvandeven]

@Md2802 heh, yeah, i noticed that too. it was frustrating me... and i'm just sitting here WATCHING it!

[mechanicalvalve]

Man Elton was on a good one! George is a master. Nemaste mates!

[nordpalme]

Gods of music - specialyy Jeff Lynn

[solidcrash232]

OMG... The man... the legend... ITS JEFF LYNNE!!!

[fossaalta]

spettacolare come un quadro di Van gogh .masterpiece with all this big

[monza7800]

good example of good music

[herringostarr]

I want to comment on this....But don't really know what to say. Wow. This is incredible.

[dkstryker]

man george and eric are so phonomanal together! its too bad george had to be taken from us so early

[skygod1975]

surely the line up from god?? every man jack a superstar!

[bucks1955mjm]

Interesting how Clapton performed live with each Beatle at different times. Wouldnt that have been something if he had played with just them live?

[MrCTFC]

Did he play with Lennon?

[bucks1955mjm]

@MrCTFC Yup a few times, most notably at a live concert in Toronto in the 70's

[jim737400]

The song's BEST version.

Thank you !

[roland30x]

I feel privileged to have grown up with these icons. To see George and Eric playing together, the look of respect in their eyes still sends shivers down my spine.

Thanks for posting this video. ( George harrison RIP and always remembered)

[Monkmaster1969]

Why does God only take the good ones early?

[fossaalta]

eccezzionali

[Jas8631]

you can see the brotherhood of love and respect when Eric and George look at each other. This is the best version ever of the song.

[angel1nl2002]

@Jas8631

yes - it was a great time of music then, events with "masters" together on stage like this are still unique!

[loeza3176]

wow! ringo without sunglasses.......not always!!! jejeje.

[angel1nl2002]

@cathytreks

thx for posting this excellent great piece of ageless music by some of the best musicians of modern music together on stage!

[alze61]

excellent performance...George RIP...

[pozosdelanieve]

Lo que importa es cómo morir...and he was dying here. Genio y figura, vergüenza torera.

[monza7800]

if Clapton is trying to be a beetle,he is pretty close

[devfrman]

@monza7800 ; eric was almost a "beatle as he played the original version of this on the white album;

[2005001132]

como se llama la cancion?

[jbct61]

while my guitarr gently weeps

[nanoxnanox]

que hermosa cancion u.u

[BENIYORK]

george is mi brother... part of mi family since 1964

[billyidol55]

truly beautiful...

[billyidol55]

these are the true gods of rock&roll, lol and many others. sadly some dead,, man me being 20 years old, man would i do anything to be around the 60's 70's and 80's,,, was i born in the wrong era or what,, no to offend others but today's music does not compare to what my parents went through at there time of music.... you know what they say, music was b4 it's time.

[Th22]

I absolutely agree...I always say I was born forty years too late.

[Starlitblond]

aww... to have been there..

[fuckutubetoo]

This must be the best song ever made

[fuckutubetoo]

This must bee the best song ever made.

[Monkmaster1969]

Who's on tambourine w/ shades?

[apike6]

Can't think of his name, but he is also in The When We Were Fab Video

[howdiesharon]

@Monkmaster1969 Pete Townsend

[Elfraddor]

Ray Cooper,

[Monkmaster1969]

Thank you George!

[beatlecrash14]

siempre toca esa ,

si lo respeto

[XAUSTXCOREX]

Everyone of "The Beatles" will always be loved, because of who they were and talented to the max. They will go down in histroy, as will Jeff Lynne,Elton John...I don't know about Clapton though. Clapton was/is good but there is no comparison when it comes to those mentioned above.

[apike6]

You obviously never heard Harrison talk about the who he thought was the Best Guitar Player, it was Clapton, and all of Claptons past works! He is among the best!

WHile not known in some cases as readily as the Beatles Clapton is one of the best and always will be...

[hugorroch]

Mi Madre..!!! ¿Cuando fue esto que yo no me di cuenta..??? George, Ringo, Eric Clapton, Elton John y Jeff Lynn (ELO)... NO LO PUEDO CREEER...!!

[XAUSTXCOREX]

@hugorroch

Let us not forget Phil Collin's and Genesis.

I am from the Southern U.S.

[Timmosk22]

Got goose bumps, I agree, so strange to see Clapton wthout a black and white Fender, Les Paul must have loved it.

[jasper46211]

wow so much talent on stage

[robosteven]

4:07 and on.

And old-fashioned guitar duel. But less speed and more epic.

[eblanaken]

Only one winner in that duel, mighty stuff. Where are the next greats coming from?.............

[287750km]

George was a inspiriational guy who relied on tradition. Eric is a guy who relies on tradition and finds moments of inspiration.

[JesuitFarmer]

stop putting things into neat fitting words, you can't ever categorize beauty, talent, or art...by what tradition...WHOSE tradition?...and inspiration?...you're putting eric's talent into a word like inspiration?..as if that means anything beyond admitting that it can't be understood, and it upsets me you put him above george, as if there's a system of rank.

[moproducer]

And two guys who fought over the same chick. In the end, Patti dumped both of them.

[cmel714]

Eric Clapton playing a Les Paul... Cool.

[cuchillo0]

In fact, Eric Clapton originally did the solo for While my guitar gently weeps as a colaborite work with George

[Antonella0802]

you shut up idiot..

[gdosic]

-George Harrison was a wonderful person and had a great soul.

He did not deserve to die the way he did.

[kossmikham]

@gdosic

George was a gentleman in the truest sense of the word. He'll live as long as there are true human beings left in this world.

[mobegone]

Thanks Cathy....another gem on YouTube....y'all rock

[Muldoon0]

Looks like Ringo had to wear an ID tag to get on stage.

Yes Jeff Lynn from ELO

[gandy4eva]

Jeff Lynne. from ELO?

[DavidHenesy]

Jeffs right up front w/the frizzy hair and sunglasses....

[coyoteartist]

this should be the 1987 concert, because another video of Here Comes The Sun that shows 2nd annual in the lead in.

[cathytreks]

Thats right mate, George Harrison, Ringo Starr, Eric Clapton, Jeff Lynne, Mark King on bass (from Level 42) ,Elton John, Phill Collins, Ray Cooper, and other greats jam in this superb song onstage.

It was part of the Prince's Trust Live TV special we dubbed for the label as a promo off the tele going on 21 years ago (give or take a year or two, I had forgot), a great performance to treasure by George Harrison and his renouned friends, this performance

[jwpatt1st]

Once upon a time and long ago there were only four beatles.

Over the years three have passed on. RIP.

Over the years three are still alive.

They still perform, usually not together but once in a while they do.

Really they do.

Please try to identify them.

Hint: I see five beatles in this video.

[crylo2000]

Has there ever been more musical talent on a single stage? George Harrison, Ringo Starr, Eric Clapton, Jeff Lynne, Phil Collins, Elton John ... Just amazing and an amazing song by George Harrison.

[2ubtrue]

Fix the mike for the man! WTF

[linkg13]

YAY GEORGE ANS RINGO!!!

But I perfer the Beatles slower verison of this song :P

still good =D

[nomoreblo]

clapton could play a broom stick and still sound fukin fantastic

[Sunesson55]

Is there anybody out there that know's if this is available on DVD? (sorry for my bad english)

[warnesie]

edguitartorres - Actually Clapton recorded the lead guitar on the The Beatles' version using a Les Paul.  He ran it through a Leslie speaker I believe, but he has used LP's many times before. He could make a banjo sound great to be honest...

[krohmal1]

BRAVO!!!!

[dvstec]

Jools Holland on keys too

[cathytreks]

God yes, and he's listed too!, as one of the "other greats"...

;-)

[edguitartorres]

Interesting to see Clapton using a Les Paul. It suits him well! He sounds really good

[icallyournames]

Yeah! It's so uncommon, and even strange, to see Eric Clapton with a Les Paul! :)

[DavidHenesy]

Les Paul the creator of the modern ear electric guitars just died, he was like almost 100, yet on the search on his site he still jammed with others like these giants of rock if they came and visited him, even in his elder days!

cool.

Sophia

[scob62]

I met Ringo and his gracious wife in a hotel in Paris, they were both so nice. The amazing thing was I saw them the next day and Ringo said Hi Stephen. A Beatle remembered my name, I'll always remember that. It's one of my precious memories.

[hifty12]

If you're story is true, i'm so jealous... ^^ ringo is certainly the nicest beatle... i'd like to meet him, or Paul, before their death... before that the beatles will be defintly a myth of 4 amazing guys, all dead...

[DavidHenesy]

In the words of Proxamo, .."A man who is afraid to die...Is afraid to live.."

Harrison met his end with a dignity warm in his bed a fate sadly not afforded the just turned 40 yr old superstar with his comeback CD/Album already @ number one on the Billboard charts....Lennon slain in cold blood, by ruthless madness and by surprise in front of his home The Dakota Apts., not far from Central Park, and it's Tribute to the man: John Winston Boogie Ono Lennon!!!

The greatest Beatle with a message.

[hifty12]

They died with honour ; by the way there's still a tribute to Lennon every year, and i'm proud of humanity doing that :)

I've been in front of the Dakota this year, I'd liked to see him before his death :)

[sensibleMak]

I look at the mic, and i notice its turning.

[cathytreks]

...while my guitar gently weeps...

[crylo2000]

George Harrison, Ringo Star, Elton John, Eric Clapton, Jeff Lynn and Phil Collins all on the stage jamming together. WOW. I would have loved to have been at that concert.

[linfernand]

I see Phil Collins in the other set of drums...hehehe..

[PeachRobbler]

I'm glad Clapton wasn't totally stoned this time like he is in the Concert for Bangladesh

In that version he can't even solo, just grin and smoke

this version is gr8!

[cathytreks]

It was part of a Live TV special we dubbed for the label as a promo off the tele going on 21 years ago (give or take a year or two, I forgot), a great performance to treasure by George Harrison and his renouned friends, this performance is one for true music fans everywhere.

[JojoChampion]

Amazing line up and astounding performance. Thanks for uploading.

[chuckcloseisgod]

How is it that George is approaching fifty in this video and yet he still looks so damn fine? Wowzers..

[wdchefdave56]

Ray Cooper helped EVERYBODY!

Behind the curtain... he made them all sound better.

Brave soul.

[c0m3t0g3th3r]

Phil needs to go away and stop screwing with my Ringo.

[andyingreece]

Nobody mentioned the awesome Ray Cooper!!!

[parv81]

Nobody mentioned Jools Holland

[cathytreks]

Not quite true, I have always promoted Ray for this video if you ever looked in the side ba?, but thx for helping promote Ray Cooper too,

All the Best!!!

Amy Jennings - Auckland NZ

[mickyd999]

Wish Harrison and Clapton could have gone on forever!!!

[WizardintheWoods]

Wow... that's a collection of real pros. The way Eric and George sync up is too cool. BOOKMARK this now!
