George Harrison Live 1974 13/14 - While My Guitar Gently Weeps

[steve58502]

I don't care about changing the lyrics. It's his song-what's the big deal? I love this version-live, raw & bluesy. Simply great!

[GabrielTD1]

@steve58502, great guitar solo by George. Bluesy. Tight. Stinging. Let's take some to go.....

[steve58502]

@GabrielTD1 You got it ......this is great stuff. I only wish an official release of the 1974 tour were made available.

[gdosic]

Listen to his lead guitar... ITS AWESOME!!

[CIapoIIa]

@magpieeye : I think you're sad because your dream man (Blankfrack) has closed his channel. Rumor has it he has hired an attorney to sue you because you refused to go out with him. Is it because he's a smelly paraplegic ?

[CIapoIIa]

@60schick52 << blankfrack aka Jaimeguitar, aka Yossarian, aka GarielTD, aka MrAngeanus, who is a paraplegic in a wheelchair that pretends to be a female on line so he can talk to young underage boys

Grasa a ho!

@gabrieltd1 <<< Rollin, rollin, rollin, keep those Blankfracks rollin !

[cpartilecoco]

if you listen to Bob Dylan's voice style at the same year, during the "before the flood" tour, you understand where George found this sound

[howfar08]

First concert I ever attended! 15, Got ride from dad! A lot of the guitar is Robben Ford. Harrison's voice sucked. Pushed on like a trooper but wasn't all there. The band sounded good. The boots of this show don't. It was ambitious and Ravi Shankar's set was fantastic. But it was cool to see George for sure! Though when you heard his voice you felt for him. Many of the shows were recorded properly and there is much better stuff from the tour out there.

Billy Preston put on a show within a show!

[MrAngemystere]

@howfar08:

I saw the concert as well, and I pointedly disagree that a lot of the guitar was Robben's. It is not just my memory that serves, but also sources ranging from the reviews of the era to contemporary music scholars, notably Simon Leng. On this track, for example: the blistering solos are played by George ( 2:39-3:17; 4:16-) and Robben doesn't come in until 4:55 (on wide-body Gibson), for a call and response with George (4:55-5:43). Morever, Harrison played ALL of the slide solos.

[Dendog]

I saw this tour, it sucked, but frankly I don't remember it being this bad.

[steve7onfire]

He was sick when he did this....

[Dendog]

It's crap. I'm sure George would agree. He was excellent musician and composer, but he was really lost at this point.

[BL80488]

@Dendog No he wasn't. His voice was bad because of larangitis, Plus its his song so he is allowed to change the lyrics around if he wanted. His guitar playing is awesome in this.

[Dendog]

While my guitar gently "smiles"? What an embarrassment this is.  Concert for Bangla Desh 3 years earlier is so much better.

[Antonovich74]

@Dendog he can do what he wants with his own song

[BL80488]

@Dendog He had larangitis and he was just messing around. Listen to his lead guitar... ITS AWESOME

[BL80488]

Proof that if he wanted to he could have played the lead on the album version....

[MrAngemystere]

@BL80488:

Indeed, Harrison could play, and then some. He certainly plays a seething, bluesy set here. He also had a wider range than did Clapton, although they both influenced each other's playing, and in fact often played on each other's albums.

[CIapoIIa]

@MrAngemystere << donkey raping shit eater who's in a wheelchair

[Dendog]

@BL80488 No such proof. He could have played on the original, it was his band. But he knew better. The original is classic. This version is tragic. And changing the lyrics is just plain lame. I love George, and I saw this tour. It was not good.

[Dendog]

@MrAngemystere Harrison was great, he wrote a great song. He sucks on this. Clapton's original version of this is classic, in drugged stupor he brought a jazz box to Madison Sq Garden, a self admitted bone-headed move.

[Dendog]

@jaimeguitar50 I'm not interested in arguing art based on technique, or lack thereof. It's irrelevant.. BTW Clapton himself questioned his decision to use the jazz box on that gig. Back to the original point, the Harrison tour clip being discussed here, Yes George has the right to change the words and put up a lame arrangement of his song. I have the right to say I don't like it.. I saw this tour. I thought it was lame then, and time hasn't changed that opinion.

[jaimeguitar50]

@Dendog:

You are entitled to your opinion about the tour, and the writers of the then vaunted Rolling Stone certainly agreed with you back then. But you are totally wrong in attempting to separate art and technical skill. To be sure, technique in itself cannot produce art. But music sans technique is artless. Harrison changed the lyrics, but he did not change the "arrangement": the chord progression and structure of this track are virtually identical to that on the White Album. Best regards.

[Dendog]

@jaimeguitar50  Art comes first, and without it, all the single string technique doesn't matter. Or to be precise, it doesn't matter to me. There are plenty of guitar wankers who will play more notes by the time they're 20 than BB King has played in a lifetime. And may never say as much. As for your analysis of the White Album version, I'll let you have the last word.

[WhiningWiccans]

@jaimeguitar50 just like you're a diaper wearing idiot because your bowels are NOT controlled by reflex ?

[WhiningWiccans]

@GabrielTD1 whats up Blankfrack ? Still gimpin around in your chair dropping turds on the sidewalk like a dog ?

[WhiningWiccans]

@jaimeguitar50 hey Blankfrack, you don't need to log off & then log on as another fake name to whine your misery out. How was your pretend trip to Canada ?

[CIapoIIa]

@jaimeguitar50 << paraplegic feces

[CIapoIIa]

@jaimeguitar50 << is an angry paraplegic with nothing to do but sit in his wheelchair , shitting his diapers while arguing with everyone on You tube

[CIapoIIa]

@MrAngemystere << Blankfrack aka Yossarian aka Jaimeguitar :

He's a lonely paraplegic who's only fun in life is to argue with others online. He's quite good at manufacturing his claims: guitar expert, nurse, author of 20 books, own a yacht, etc.

[GabrielTD1]

@CIapoIIa, hey shithead. What happened to your "WhiningWiccans" id? YouTube banned it. But we all know who you are. You're that ass licking dipshit CaptainSpaulding. Once again. Spaulding listen up. Take your racist and anti-disabled bullshit elsewhere. Too difficult to understand? FUCK YOU. Got it?

[CIapoIIa]

@GabrielTD1 I'm not he Blankfrack. I'm just a growing number of people who cannot stand your sorry gimp ass. Now, wheel your tubby ass out of here to your make believe trip to Canada.

[CIapoIIa]

@GabrielTD1 <, fat blankfrack who wear diapers

[CIapoIIa]

@MrAngemystere << Olor parapléjico que gasta su quejas acerca de su discapacidad a todo el mundo mientras defecando en sus pañales todo el día.

Camiseta Hee, se crían joder!

[jaimeguitar50]

@BL80488:

You are absolutely correct. Harrison plays extended blues-based lines (A minor melodic scale) here that match Clapton's original take harmonically, and Harrison handles the note bending redolent of Clapton's original solo version quite handily. But here Harrison's particular tone and approach suggests, in my view, anger and sorrow rather than the anguish of Clapton's take, a more subjective area of judgement and perhaps the basis of Dengdog's dislike of this version.

[k0stil]

that`s not last live concert actually.

he died in 2003 , not in 1974

[MusicInWords]

@k0stil he died in 2001

[k0stil]

@MusicInWords

oops

[MusicInWords]

@k0stil :)

[gillan5]

Sounds like a garage band. They should not have put that out.

[reg5381]

@gillan5 its live rock.

[reg5381]

this is great

[girlitheglen]

He was definitely trying to keep things positive...something to be said for that.

[wyzsilvius]

This is too much !!!

1974 rock at his peak and rolling gas!!!

[DeaconJohnPV]

I don´t like this changed lyrics, but interesting version of my favourite song.
