And there's our good friend, Eric Clapton, whose tremendous influence on guitar/music history is questioned by some young uninformed idiots- quietly playing his wah (Wah-Wah), then slide guitar on a CLASSIC track, at a history-making concert that helped feed millions of starving people, before Live Aid or We Are the World had ever been dreamt of. Listen and learn, my children. :O))
The older i get i am sure that George was not that impotent to the Beatles, but of the four he was the most impotent to the music that came out of the all of them,may all be well on your endless journey
Nick Dudman? The first stuff I tried to learn to play was Harrisons stuff on Let It Be (Dig a Pony, I've Got a Feeling) and All Things. I'm not a star, but i have made my living as a guitarist for 35 years. Sorry you are more impressed w/ Claptons incessant playing of a pentatonic scale, but Harrisons solos were all little melodies - when a guitarist plays a Cream or Hendrix song and it's time to solo, we just blow, but playing a Beatles song? You HAVE to play Georges solo.

Hateful opinion based criticisms and negativity are the easiest and cheapest things to produce. George Harrison was against and always above that. Thank you George for your gracious presence and wonderful state of being....May you forever Rest in Peace.
I'm 54 and I remember George Harrison's music over all the other Beatles during the '70s. Geroge's music was more for the hippy culture, love, love, love. I really don't remember him as a complainer. I remember John and Paul locking horns a couple of times. But those two were two completely different geniuses. Neither better than the other, just two different audiences. Wherever you George, love ya.
Poor George. He tried so hard to be like John and Paul. Most of the music that came out of him was awkward and clunky. Not even his lyrics were compelling. In the end, the "quiet" Beatle complained about almost everything...and LOUDLY. He was convinced the Beatles had conspired against him and his music. Of course, it never occurred to him that his music MIGHT NOT BE THAT GOOD. Poor guy!
@thegrinchl7 Obviously you are not a Beatles or George Harrison fan. Why are you even watching this video if you truly believe that " Most of the music that came out of him was awkward and clunky"? Paul McCartney has been quoted during the making of Abbey Road that "George's songs are as good as John & I, if not better". Even though I believe you made this comment only to garner attention to yourself, do us all a favor & never comment on anything again.
@jdubsmcnugent - When I have a scab, I scratch at it. When George sings...with that weak, effeminate voice...I just want to scream. You don't mind if I try to improve the world of music by trying to eliminate the mediocrities. Do you?

@thegrinchl7 ... now im pretty sure you are just saying that to get a rise out of me... lets (wrongly) assume that georges songwriting talents were absolute NIL.... just take a listen to his guitar playing.

@nickdudman82 - You seem rather articulate...intelligent. So, why be lazy and call me a "hater"? I have "listened" to his guitar playing which I find pedestrian. "Here, There and Everywhere" with its Plank! Plank! Later, his overuse of the SLIDE. Even when George does something innovative, later we find out it wasn't HIS idea (opening power chord on "Hard Days Night" was George Martin's idea. As a kid you learned from Clapton, Hendrix, Vaughn or Townshend. NOBODY imitated George Harrison! Nobody
BTW, The Chiffons "He's So Fine" was written by Lonnie Mack ... a blues guitarist, singer and songwriter from Indiana, who, in 1961 released one of the first great rock-n-roll guitar albums.
George Harrison also PLAGIARIZED "Something" from the Four Tops 1967 hit "That Thing". After having endured the embarrassing "He's So Fine" lawsuit, George settled this out of court. Apparently, he would have LOST that case too. The song starts of slowly "That thing, that you do, reminds me that you're my LOVER, THAT THING that you do, reminds me of no other. Your asking if my love will flow, I don't know...I DO NOT KNOW!!! THAT THING that you do".
John Lennon also ended up plagiarizing All You Need is Love from a 1965 hit called "All You Need is Above", just like he did for Come Together. Luckily, his Beatles connections saved him from a lawsuit again.

George Harrison and friends respect to the flowering of many talents. "My Sweet Lord" is not in plagiarism. Lyrics and melody to reach this frontier, George Harrison none other than personality.
Funny, which is why they ruled that it was not intentional.
Regardless, George stole nothing from the Ciffons. He borrowed the chorus chords of a song called Oh Happy Day, which may or may not have been stolen from the Ciffons, and then used alterations of it for his lyrics.
By coincidence, it just ended up sounding more like... wut was it called? Oh, yeah, He's So Fine. Btw, stop race baiting, Ciffons were not "poor".
Look at the musos who JUMPED at the chance of playing with Hari. G. And look at his 'Concert ... after he died. Respect, as the kids of today would say.
@FrlghtWolf that he managed to hold his own in a band with giants like John and Paul says alot right there ... try competing with the greatest songwriting team of the 20th century and nobody would measure up.....but he was a much better guitarist than the others... George carved his own niche, but none of them could run from being a Beatle...
@JerichoDitch2 - I think it's the opposite. I think John and Paul HELD HIM UP. George spent so long standing next to the gods, that after a while, he confused himself for one. Poor George!
@FrlghtWolf Thank God he wasn't a grocery clerk;but you have proved one thing correct;and that 1 thing is you really don't know what you are talking about.
I loved the Beatles but for all they were George was the only one who had rock flowing in his blood the others were just pop music.And standing alone George and John will stand the test of time Paul will fade away as he should.
been looking for a Wah-wah video for some time.... thank-you, thank-you ! Saw George in '73 or '74 in Philly....nearly jumped off the second balcony he was so awesome !
@taxidriverstj I believe it was later when I saw George...the Dark Horse tour w/ Ravi and Billy Preston. It was within months of Bowie's Diamond Dogs tour.
Am I the only one who thinks it's totally badass when they pan over to the two drummers and they're perfectly insync? I know they should be, it's just a really neat effect. :D
I love George, and this concert seemed so amazing. I wish I could have been there. <3
wow! how great was this show and what about the musicians on stage. A virtual who's who in the music rock and roll hall of fame. Compare this to what you see today and its depressing
para ti ,Lalo ,TU dulce señor ,el mejor de los beatles,me decias,discutiamos quien era mejor,ahora quisiera que discutieramos ya no se puede,Para ti PRIMO donde estes.
Rappers make millions stealing beats, I think george heard a tune in his head and made the song, It's insanely easy to come up with a great beat and then realize, whoops. someone's been there done that before. It's wasn't like now where you can access any type of music 24/7.
PT.4: Religion is totally irrelevant. He earned respect of his peers & I'd take their opinion any day over yours. He deserved better than rude comments. Read about it & come back. Don't like his music? That's your taste, you're entitled to it. Rest is just bad form. There weren't 'petty' grievances. Together a long time, they had their issues. John & Paul? Dynamic personalities. It doesn't diminish Georges talent. Check the facts, along with what his musical peers said, ya daft gits. Respect!
@RippersPet - You're right! Religion is "totally" irrelevant. That's why George should have kept it to himself. George set himself up for some disturbing hypocrisy. George would profess the importance of taking care of the planet and of "one's own body". Then, George literally SMOKED HIMSELF TO DEATH. More troubling was this idea of KARMA which he pushed. Since George was stabbed to pieces and then, years later died of horrific cancer, his fans must be wondering "what must George have done"?
@TheBatugan77 - Excuse me, I thought you texting fucks used "UR" for "you are" as opposed to "your". Shouldn't it be "yer". But then again, you would only save 1 letter instead of 2. Oh the bother!
PT.3: His music will be appreciated for years to come. Can you say that of anything youve done? You don't believe he was a great artist, look to his peers. Clapton, Richards, etc. They're wrong & you're right? Show respect. Who are you to tear at a man's legacy? For shame. Why you feel you have the right is beyond me. A good man & great artist. Can you say the same? What George Martin thought is on record. He thought GH an incredibly talented musician/songwriter, w/a beautiful, giving nature.
PT.2: What I'd like to know is, who are you? What have YOU done, to condemn? Are YOU a talented songwriter/singer? Even a professional critic, trained in that which you speak of? George gave us something beautiful & spent his last time on earth organizing "Love", a Beatles Cirque d'Soleil show. His vision & dream. J & P may very well have been the driving force/genius behind the group, but one shouldn't discount contributions of the other two. It was a time in music that will not come again.
PT.1: The people bad-mouthing George here should reflect on the saying "Consider the source". Who are you to cast dispersion dispersion on a gifted, talented man no longer with us? You think he was in the Beatles as 'window dressing'? "Everything old is new again." It holds true for music as well. There are those who say in Mozart, you can hear strains of other composer's works. Did Mozart steal from others? All artists are influenced by others, their peers & those who came before.
Regardless of if its just a rewrite of He's Do Fine, I think we can all agree My Sweet Lord is much better. Music was meant to be made, not fought over.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
SickCity - I knew a thief once who bragged that his stolen stereo system was justified because HE played better music on it. Considering George offered up this bit of stolen music to his "sweet lord", I think it's only fitting that god punish BOTH of these thieves. It certainly looks like George got punished in true Karmic fashion. It isn't many of us who can say they were STABBED like a pin-cushion or got to die a slow death due to cancer. Not that I believe in this nonsense...but George did.
hello to all george fans,the song my sweet lord was not a rewrite of he so fine,its not even similiar,the idea came from oh happy day,its the same structurepeople who think otherwise should grow up and dont use this format to show their stupididity and lack of knowlege of were songs origians come from,talk of plagerisim,bodidleee was copied note per note and they wrote iwant candy by the strangeloves,think about a mover is a rewrite of what I say,its now or never is a rewrite of ole sol amio.
danin- Ugh! This is probably one of the most poorly written posts I've ever seen on Youtube. And that's saying a lot. You know, I've noticed something. If you go on John Lennon's videos, he attracts a much older/wiser fan base. Seriously!
George Harrison seems to attract some of the least educated people in the Youtube community. That's saying a LOT about George Harrison...the minor Beatle.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
sandrio- Yeah, thanks George for PLAGIARIZING the Chiffons music and mostly, thanks for accusing your fellow band members of conspiring against your music. Even though it was pretty clear you were never up to the task.
And, OH, by the way: where was your "sweet lord" when you were being stabbed by a crazy man? Or when you were being eaten alive by cancer?
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Ugh! Little wonder the Beatles rejected so much of his music. All though he ended up writing 3 or 4 great songs, he struggled with the art form. His weak voice did not lend itself well to solos, never mind his JANGLY guitar playing. His ridiculous Hare Krishna thing didn't help him much either. What would a truly "spiritual" man need with an exotic, 120 room mansion?
cuban, i guess it's all a matter of what someone is looking for in the music. as for a 120-room mansion, maybe he liked it.
One thing I think you'll find if you STUDY his music is that it was often strucutually more difficult than most pop, AND many beatles songs. Also, I think the spirituality helped him cope (i dunno, i'm not spritual). At least you're not some drooling, stupid caveman...your arguments show at least you can think...
Bckm - George's music, "difficult" or not, was never my favorite. That would be the end of it except that George himself made it an issue. He complained bitterly that his music didn't get the respect it "deserved". He accused the Beatles of conspiring against his music.
Living in an 120 room mansion is fine, if you make no claim being anything other than materialistic. Eating meat becomes hypocrisy ONLY when you claim to be a vegetarian. You can't do both, even if you ARE an ex-Beatle.
not that it really means anything, but please note that I did NOT give you a thumbs-down. :) Sometimes possibly disagreeing with someone is more interesting than blind agreement where all that is done is preaching to the choir.
brick - Sorry for the late response. You posted: "lol che wasn't Cuban". The name "Che" is really an Argentine expression meaning a variety of things. It is often used as a sentence pause like "Um" or "well". It is also the equivalent of "Pal" or "buddy".
When the Argentine Ernesto Guevara joined with the Cubans, they immediately found his use of "che" unique. They started calling him "Che".
There are MANY "Che's" now. My last name is Guavara and my friends call me "Che", mostly as a joke.
Who cares how big his house was? John Lennon lived in an Apartment and look what it got him, shot in the back. Give me a big house and a large driveway over the crazy ass lunatics on your sidewalk next to your door anyday.
bckm54 - In my opinion, none of them ever rose to Beatle quality as soloists. George is often given credit for achieving the best post-Beatle output but I disagree.
All Things Must Pass was largely comprised of music that was never good enough for the Beatles (George Martin knew a little bit more about what good music was than you or I).
Mostly, I just don't respect George. There was something of a coward about him. I see him using his religion as a smoke screen to mask petty grievances.
Che, for whatever it's worth, you are one of the most interesting people I have interacted with here on Youtube. I don't always agree with your comments, but your comments are always worth reading carefully, and thinking about. Thanks for making me think... :)
Man,did George get a raw deal in that whole Chiffons"Hes so fine"lawsuit thing.Sure,it may be a LITTLE similiar,but TONS of songs sound similiar.Theres only so many chords you can play.That notwithstanding,what a great song.Beautiful,inspirational,spiritual-an anthem.And how wonderful does that choir sound,singing behind George?
I always thought George would be an ideal candidate for playing Jesus in a movie. he looks like how I picture Jesus with his long hair and beard and he had the most soulful, beautiful eyes.
MARIO BROSS: uno de los mejores conciertos de los 70's. sin duda alguna es el de BANGLADESH, comandado por George Harrison y acompañado de los mejores musicos de esa epoca Eric Clapton, Bob Dylan, Raby Sankha, Billy Preston y Ringo Star lo mejor de lo mejor, por que no decir la excelencia.

the idea that the pious George Harrison would offer up these
stolen goods to his "sweet lord" as a kind of bribe. I do not be-

@FrlghtWolf that he managed to hold his own in a band with giants like John and Paul says alot right there ... try competing with the greatest songwriting team of the 20th century and nobody would measure up.....but he was a much better guitarist than the others... George carved his own niche, but none of them could run from being a Beatle...
JerichoDitch2 11 months ago
@JerichoDitch2 - I think it's the opposite. I think John and Paul HELD HIM UP. George spent so long standing next to the gods, that after a while, he confused himself for one. Poor George!

@bevrlyfancy - "George knows how to "sing"?
You're kidding, right? Bless his soul, he's a mighty
fine ensemble singer, he harmonizes well. But that
weak, effeminate voice was never meant for SOLO
work. The mean struggles with music in general.
Had he not been a Beatle he would have been lucky

PT.4: Religion is totally irrelevant. He earned respect of his peers & I'd take their opinion any day over yours. He deserved better than rude comments. Read about it & come back. Don't like his music? That's your taste, you're entitled to it. Rest is just bad form. There weren't 'petty' grievances. Together a long time, they had their issues. John & Paul? Dynamic personalities. It doesn't diminish Georges talent. Check the facts, along with what his musical peers said, ya daft gits. Respect!
RippersPet 2 years ago 7
@RippersPet - You're right! Religion is "totally" irrelevant. That's why George should have kept it to himself. George set himself up for some disturbing hypocrisy. George would profess the importance of taking care of the planet and of "one's own body". Then, George literally SMOKED HIMSELF TO DEATH. More troubling was this idea of KARMA which he pushed. Since George was stabbed to pieces and then, years later died of horrific cancer, his fans must be wondering "what must George have done"?

PT.3: His music will be appreciated for years to come. Can you say that of anything youve done? You don't believe he was a great artist, look to his peers. Clapton, Richards, etc. They're wrong & you're right? Show respect. Who are you to tear at a man's legacy? For shame. Why you feel you have the right is beyond me. A good man & great artist. Can you say the same? What George Martin thought is on record. He thought GH an incredibly talented musician/songwriter, w/a beautiful, giving nature.
RippersPet 2 years ago 4
PT.2: What I'd like to know is, who are you? What have YOU done, to condemn? Are YOU a talented songwriter/singer? Even a professional critic, trained in that which you speak of? George gave us something beautiful & spent his last time on earth organizing "Love", a Beatles Cirque d'Soleil show. His vision & dream. J & P may very well have been the driving force/genius behind the group, but one shouldn't discount contributions of the other two. It was a time in music that will not come again.
RippersPet 2 years ago 4
PT.1: The people bad-mouthing George here should reflect on the saying "Consider the source". Who are you to cast dispersion dispersion on a gifted, talented man no longer with us? You think he was in the Beatles as 'window dressing'? "Everything old is new again." It holds true for music as well. There are those who say in Mozart, you can hear strains of other composer's works. Did Mozart steal from others? All artists are influenced by others, their peers & those who came before.

SickCity - I knew a thief once who bragged that his stolen stereo system was justified because HE played better music on it. Considering George offered up this bit of stolen music to his "sweet lord", I think it's only fitting that god punish BOTH of these thieves. It certainly looks like George got punished in true Karmic fashion. It isn't many of us who can say they were STABBED like a pin-cushion or got to die a slow death due to cancer. Not that I believe in this nonsense...but George did.

Ugh! Little wonder the Beatles rejected so much of his music. All though he ended up writing 3 or 4 great songs, he struggled with the art form. His weak voice did not lend itself well to solos, never mind his JANGLY guitar playing. His ridiculous Hare Krishna thing didn't help him much either. What would a truly "spiritual" man need with an exotic, 120 room mansion?
CubanCheGuevara 2 years ago
cuban, i guess it's all a matter of what someone is looking for in the music. as for a 120-room mansion, maybe he liked it.
One thing I think you'll find if you STUDY his music is that it was often strucutually more difficult than most pop, AND many beatles songs. Also, I think the spirituality helped him cope (i dunno, i'm not spritual). At least you're not some drooling, stupid caveman...your arguments show at least you can think...
bckm54 2 years ago
Bckm - George's music, "difficult" or not, was never my favorite. That would be the end of it except that George himself made it an issue. He complained bitterly that his music didn't get the respect it "deserved". He accused the Beatles of conspiring against his music.
Living in an 120 room mansion is fine, if you make no claim being anything other than materialistic. Eating meat becomes hypocrisy ONLY when you claim to be a vegetarian. You can't do both, even if you ARE an ex-Beatle.

brickcity1000 2 years ago
brick - Sorry for the late response. You posted: "lol che wasn't Cuban". The name "Che" is really an Argentine expression meaning a variety of things. It is often used as a sentence pause like "Um" or "well". It is also the equivalent of "Pal" or "buddy".
When the Argentine Ernesto Guevara joined with the Cubans, they immediately found his use of "che" unique. They started calling him "Che".
There are MANY "Che's" now. My last name is Guavara and my friends call me "Che", mostly as a joke.

bckm54 - In my opinion, none of them ever rose to Beatle quality as soloists. George is often given credit for achieving the best post-Beatle output but I disagree.
All Things Must Pass was largely comprised of music that was never good enough for the Beatles (George Martin knew a little bit more about what good music was than you or I).
Mostly, I just don't respect George. There was something of a coward about him. I see him using his religion as a smoke screen to mask petty grievances.
