Does anybody know if there's anything on YouTube of his Dark Horse Tour 1974? Or any footage at all? I saw a clip of him doing "What is Life" from the new documentary, and it was great
One of my all time favorite songs by the late George Harrison...again it's a shame the song seems to be rather obscure...at least it's not on this particular forum.
Thanks for making the song available to everyone !
are these comments ever ridiculous did any of ever talk to the dude what do you know about him?did you get this information from that crap rolling stone magazine thats it bow down to the super rich asswipes
@lmgavin George didn't love having that raw voice. He had a terribly sore throat at the time of trying to record the Dark Horse album -- dark hoarse. And he had a rough time touring, may have cancelled part of his tour at the time because of his throat problems. Precursor to what finally did him in... it started off with throat cancer in the 90's.
George didn't pay much mind to clearing his throat and such because this was never intended to be recorded. He was playing material for Phil Spector, and a mic was set up on the spot, never intended for release. That said, that sound, throat problems or not, is what makes these songs so raw and beautiful.
This is the B-side to "Dark Horse" released in the U.S., of which I have the 45 vinyl. I remember listening to both sides over and over again and was enthralled with George's raw, raspy version of his voice. Thanks for sharing this song and photos!
@fro164 No I tried asking some Beatles fans on youtube that do tutorials to tab it and they said they would but never did it...sucks...just one of those things....i'm sure it's easy it's just figuring out what Fing chords he's playing
@fro164 my comments weren't posting as I was trying things out so I kept typing them over and over and each time I got further or changed something and hoped the others wouldn't post but I guess shit luck, eh...
I'll have to try out the G6, I might play it that way already bc the G I play sounds just like it with the capo on. I wanted to learn the song because of the noodling in it...check out Run Of The Mill off Beware of ABKCO...I wish there was a tab for that whole album..
In 1974 George was really losing his voice,. tt was maybe partially because of smoking. But also, he was rehearsing for his upcoming tour. And he paid the price - he was hoarse throughout his '74tour (I was t here),. On the whole Dark Horse album his voice is shot. A shame -I really love George and am a huge. fan.
@gellexi He was sick. His hoarse voice wasn't because of his smoking. George was sick and Apple rushed the release of Dark Horse and a tour... which is one of the reasons why GH left Apple.
I bought this single when it came out, years ago. I remember many disc jockeys just ripping this apart and laughing at it, both sides A and B..........actually a great GEORGE song that is in a similar style is MISS ODELL, the flip side of BANGLA DESH
I read in Rolling Stone about this many years ago and GH said he had lost his voice but sung anyway. It was the "B" side to the song Dark Horse which I still have---I hope.
@123ThisIsMe I don't think he LOST Patty to Clapton as much as he GAVE her to Clapton. Long after Clapton eventually tired of her himself and ditched her, Clapton and George remained close buddies to the end...
Actually, he had lost his voice from too much rehearsal for his 1974 tour....and this song is one he made up for a b-side release as he needed a b-side and did not have a cooked up song yet. So he made this up, practically overnight. Now you know the rest of the story. Good luck to you.
Look at the video response version. It's actually better than this one.

I think George lost Pattie through his seemingly pent up attitude at the time of the Beatles break up.
His music I love and he was a genius.

Some of Harrison's most biting, emotionally raw songs, like this and "Deep Blue", were relegated to b-sides. Curious.

"I Don't Care Anymore" was the flip of "Ding Dong, Ding Dong" in the UK. It (The A-Side) was touted as the "official Christmas Single" for George.
New to me, I never had a chance to get the 45 in any form back in the day...so this is a refreshing "treat" for me, eh?
Thanx fer it, m8..

This was from a time when George's feelings were very raw after losing Patti to Eric.
He was near to a break-down.
Then, along came Olivia (originally just a secretary), and look what she has done ...
