George Harrison - The Last Performance. pt 4 of 4.

[SlackerSlayer]

I know it is a dumb point to make, with enjoying each of the guys work with and since that first band, ^^^ is tops in my book.

[c4r50n1]

You can tell he's sick, but, even though you can tell he's sick, he is still performing better than I can. He was amazing and it's amazing that the world hasn't exploded without him.

[crocodiliusz]

ya, his mouth looks like it's rotting, what did he die of anyway?

[c4r50n1]

@crocodiliusz Rotting? I disagree. He died of throat cancer.

[crocodiliusz]

did you not see how purple his lip is and how messed up his teeth are every time is zoomed in? looked like decay to me.

[thinkyourright]

so where is the fucking sound on these vids!!!!!????? just came from the others and the same fucking thing!! NO SOUND!!! WHATS THE POINT WITH NO SOUND!!!!????

[tommibero]

@thinkyourright Maybe try turning the volume up :D works fine 4 me

[machinesjail]

@thinkyourright thousands of views and hundreds of comments on these videos, you're the first to whinge about 'no sound'...problem's on your end mate :-)

[SlackerSlayer]

@thinkyourright Check your connection if you have stereo, it is just in my right ear. I have great connections.

[davidr828]

rest in peace george harrison !! and thank you for your music !! with and without the beatles you were a great songwriter and your music will live forever !!! the quiet beatle no you were the heart of the beatles !!! enjoy heaven

[nickjjismyhusband]

I clapped too at the end....was I the only one..?

I miss you George, I miss your smile, I miss you just being here...RIP you wonderful man ♥ Ill never forget you.

[shadlali]

i've made a video with lyric from this video, just in case you want to see it :)

watch?v=6i8Wbd28t4o

[CrazyKing89]

George was a Great person, individual of comparison to anyone, why does anything have to be diminished by the prowess of something else? Wouldn't it make much more sense to see all things for what they're great for, rather than what they're not? "Man is the measure of all man", but I would say that is only in inspiration, not expectation.

[revscott58]

THANKS FOR YOUR CONTRIBUTION TO THE WORLD GEORGE! REST IN PEACE.

[714AD]

He was rock's man of a thousand faces & talents!

[geewhizpat]

Happy Birthday George...in tears of missing you ...but also the joy you brought...too soon gone...

[rosajrms]

beautiful! .. thanks so very much for sharing!

George Harrison . grew into a wise man ... a rare gem these days

[krimhi]

Hoy es tu cumpleaños George y aún las guitarras de la tierra lloran tu ausencia en la tierra

[oo1ooo1oo]

What an articulate man, thanks for posting, never seen all the speaky bits, fab.

[BerrysJSRD]

Words can't express how great this man was/is/will be.

[MegaCookiegal]

I was close to tears watching all four parts - wish he wasn't dead cos he could teach people a lot x

[astrofrk]

Ironic that George's last song performed was "All things must pass". Each Beatle brought a gift to us and Spiritually speaking. George was the greatest Beatle.

[theinck]

Poor Ravi, they were meant to promote him. lol. Joking.

[MrRockenrudy]

Thank's for the precious time...

[beatleschic100]

wow!.... I miss George Harrison!....

[MrRcheek]

@beatleschic100 he was a slow moving river...I miss him and I wish he was here.

[miyokoDan]

Love you, George. Rest in peace, soul brother.

[tricia7773]

love him, loved him always...........now he is with God who loves him more than we ever could

[tricia7773]

this man is very much missed, but he is in a place where he will miss nothing

[tricia7773]

patti boyd, u lost out.(ur choice) and Olivia.u were blessed

[PRR5406]

Of course, George knew he was dying. Interesting how he concluded the interview.

[TheJUNGLESURFER]

the king!!!

[bd9598]

How annoying was this guy interviewing George?

[mapscannotcontainme]

@bd9598

I don't think he's annoying at all. If you want an annoying interviewer go check out Michael Landsberg.

[bd9598]

Always bearing in mind that the Beatles did not always want to be known as a former Beatle, they wanted each to be known for their own music and talent after they split, and that is really why they split if you listen to all of the tapes etc on youtube etc, It was us who would not let them forget the Beatles or that they were always a Beatle. lol George played up front with John and Paul when they were younger, eventually he was off to the side and John and Paul 2gether, upfront.

[beatlestoneful]

so, his laswt live song was "All things must pass"?how fitting!!!and that womens guitar is now a treasure !!the last live music from the lead guitar player of the greatest band ever!!

[whittingham4665]

@beatlestoneful YEAH I BET THAT GUITAR CANT STOP FROM CRYING !

[wat700son]

as much of a pleasure listening to his thoughts as his tunes :)

[bashfulbrother]

Man, what a loss. A vanishing gem in the world of music.

An artist as musicians should be. Just him, a guitar, and a solo performance that would demolish Taylor Swift, Jusitn Beeeeeber, Lady TaTa's etc. No outlandish costumes or wigs, no huge sound systems, no strings of lights. Just George and his guitar. Did all his own writing and every one of his songs had something to say.

[beatlestoneful]

@bashfulbrother I think you just summed it all up in a nutshell!!

[TheJUNGLESURFER]

@bashfulbrother well said

[jaddison1112]

These four pieces of film stiched together are a real treasure .... It makes me smile to George so relaxed, and just speaking and singing from the heart. Again such a gift to see ....

[seandeyoung01]

Thank you. Love the man, in every facet. A Great one is gone.

[MARKETMAN6789]

beautifull,and youve made me think ,which is a very hard thingto do for me

[MrAub8]

Hare Krishna George.

[martygruffy1]

I love you George ,,RIP hopefully I get to meet you then!

[mlkemper]

you ealize theses Beatles are just like us with the same pains and fears ..we are trapped like rats down here unless you find the narrow way out ..praise GOD

[Rich915]

How befitting that his last song was "All Things Must Pass".... Tremendous man w/ quite a gift!

[wonderwhy61]

Wow.. what a nice find.. I started on Youtube with th, Chris Farley and Paul McCartney from SNL..and look what I found!! Ya gotta love Youtube..

[bd9598]

@wonderwhy61 I know and dying of lung cancer that had spread to his brain, all through his body, I don't know where he found the air or voice to play and sing. But that was George. Dhani will do him proud. Bad english but an expression.

[martygruffy1]

George had the best attitude but I love them all! RIP GEORGIE!

[chasjohn2001]

George made the great new sounds, John was the soul of the Beatles.

[bd9598]

@chasjohn2001 I think that the other 3 being so close, that John was not the soul if there was one, the other 3 were always very close, John was a question mark to me.

[johnthelad]

Thanks for putting this up, I never knew this existed. A fascinating side of George, and a deeply moving final song.

Rest in eternal peace.

[birdhasflown1]

Rest easy, sweet George

[angelsk93]

everyone else having goosebumps?

[birdhasflown1]

@angelsk93 Oh yeah

[wonderwhy61]

@angelsk93 Yup!!



[bd9598]

He was 58 correct?

[ozzieiniowa]

@bd9598 This was 1997 and as he was born 25/2/43, he was 54

[kato64]

@bd9598 Yes, he passed away when he was 58. Much, much too young. Seems like he was a pretty down to earth guy, for a transcendental hippie. RIP, George.

[0925valen]

Damn he was hot,just like a good wine with age get's even better :D

[HannahHypnotize96]

R.I.P George Harrison♥

[Beatlejoose56]

Hey vcr9scab or whatever I wonder if VH1 would have givin Ravi any promo time at all if George wasn't there. Besides if you saw the original broadcast in 1997 you would know Ravi was well promoted. George was a lot more humble than you peckerhead.

[machinesjail]

@Beatlejoose56 humility is your strength too, Beatlejoose56..

[bd9598]

@Beatlejoose56 George was humble. He did Bangladesh for Ravi, and was a dear friend of Ravi's. He died 4 years I believe after this was filmed but he battled the cancer for many years. RIP George, Thank You for the gifts that you gave to us by just being you. Playing someone else's guitar and singing was so kind of him, he did not no how to say no I do not think. His lovely wife Olivia and Dhani, his son, are a living tribute. Check Dhani''s music, it's good.

[brianababe100]

Well, you can't say he's not weird.... or wasn't anyways

[vcx9dfne]

What's funny is that this was supposed to be a promotion of Ravi Shankar's album or music. But it was all about Harrison. And Harrison let it happen. This is not the action of a humble or enlightened man.

[johnnywires3]

he must have known by then or had a feeling that he was not ok.maybe that is why he was talking about life and death and the meaning of things.paul maccartney was holding hes hand when he died and if i am not mistaken,in pauls house.i have seen a clip of john lennon taliking in 1973 about the other beatles and that he would be open to play with them again if the cause and music were right.the bitterness was over and they were ok again.there is nothing quite like the fab four,never will be.

[TheHorizun7]

What a wonderful soul...I'm glad he matured spiritually and now is in a higher level of being" I miss George, until then? All the love..

[BarryWrightable]

Love your George. Thanks for the adventure.

[inthepurelight]

all things must pass away

[nerja101]

Really touching video - shame about the quality, but George shines through.

[corkbender]

Then: George Harrison

Now: Justin Bieber

Look at the difference. Is it any wonder contemporary pop music is total crap?

[watchpotch]

@corkbender Why do you have to bring Justin Bieber into it? Some people are so obsessed with that kid. There are countless Biebers, there'll only be one George Harrison.

[corkbender]

@watchpotch The point you might be missing is that today's music is dominated by the American Idle mentality, and Justin Beiber is a prime example. This video is an example of an interview of substance with a real musician, songwriter, artist. These days what we get are countless breathless interviews with celebrities who talk about nothing of substance. Is Beiber the only one? No. Is he called "bigger than the Beatles" all too often? Yes.

[easyrider332]

does anyone know what year this was from? thanks a bunch

[Icanhasoboe]

@easyrider332 1997

[sevadaj]

I bet the woman who just happen to bring the guitar never played it again! I would not want anyone playing the guitar George played on.

[1039sflem]

Still missing George, what a great man and talent. I could never thank him enough.

[spacellama23]

"You don't have a capo do you, Mrs. Guitar Lady?"

[markuss4453]

good interview.George is one of my heroe

s through misic.

[Keruaran]

I used to be a musican and songwriter. For many years I haven't picked up my guitar. I wont elaborate on how that happened, but George makes me want to pick it up and actually feel good about it for the first time in a long time.

[imau2ber]

Let it out! God wants and we need.

[anns1961]

@Keruaran do it!!

[Bradlee6950]

4 of a kind...thats all

[MrFerrango]

The Last Song He Sang was "All things Must Pass" !!!! Holly cow that's too much!!!

Love you George, thanks for making this world a better place.

[clauussy1]

Beautifull Soul

[GirlGeorgeTVshow]

RIP GEORGE..



[genericgeorge]

what was with ravi shankar he didnt play or say a word

[thenowuk]

@genericgeorge He did earlier-they were promoting Shankar's album

[moonboots69]

Georges' mind and understanding of "life" are ok..

youtube search, 'charles manson interview' & without prejudice, watch them all... Hmmm...

[bermudaguy1]

Sounds "Dylan-ish"!

[shakenbake8958]

let's remember there were 4 of them.

[keetongeer]

Thanks for this upload. It's a nice casual last look at George, like sitting in his living room with him.

With George and Beatles in mind, I've posted the video, "40 years in 3 minutes", which is a music video containing the Beatles' rooftop performance, historical events over the last 40 years and 8mm film antics from the period, all cut tightly to GET BACK and GLASS ONION. Hope you enjoy!

[drutgat2]

Thanks so much for posting this.

[billaroyamaha2]

VH1 set it up,,, slimy. george was gracious tho. nice.

[billaroyamaha2]

bloody commentator,,, shut up and let him think

[v50super]

as always in human history - things last - it will last

quite a while to get the information -

all 4 best musicians of all time played the same

band - The Beatles

[Ukuleleboy100]

Wow, his last song performed had to be that one. How fitting.

[Ukuleleboy100]

asking for a spice girls song... my god...

[Ukuleleboy100]

What a beautiful clip.

[cracks21229]

First, it was rude to ask George to play on the spot like that. It made him into what Lennon referred to Circus Fleas. Second, I am glad George played as we now have this great video.

Third, you could give a million people those same four chords and not one of us would come up with something as good as this song. It is really amazing to me how these professionals can do that.

[MetrazolElectricity]

@hihellohowareyou1000 cute

[Bradc19]

New song? Any Road was written in 1988...lol

[JofusSunshyne]

Both inclusive and despite The Beatles, George Harrison was an amazing talent and an amazing man.

[67mommiedearest]

WAS? No George Harrison IS STILL the Best:)

[STUDIOCHINCHAN]

Thanks for sharing this one. Goes to my favorites

Love & peace

Eric

[hamsterstavros]

thx very much for posting !!!!

[DasGoldenBoy]

If VH-1 wanted to be truly shameless, they could brand this footage as George Harrison Unplugged. Good stuff and I would advise anybody that likes this footage to search for George's demos cause they are of the same caliber as this footage, not too polished or slick but still a delight to the ears.

[MetrazolElectricity]

they should have edited out the indecisiveness and hesitation

[mnewkirk1]

When I was 14 years old, and the Beatles hit the scene, all my girlfriends were crazy for Paul, but I knew immediately that my heart went to George! I didn't consciously know why then, but in my twenties, I began on my spiritual path, of which I continue to do today. George's music inspires me, and I've learned to play his songs on keyboard and sing them.

[MrRexBailey]

John Fugelsang had amazing presence of mind to keep both cool but persistent with George - great tactic to say just rehearse here and tape it, but if you don't like it, we can burn it, non one will see it. Who would have thought that it would turn out to be George's last recorded performance.

[DasGoldenBoy]

@MrRexBailey There is footage of George playing "Your True Love" or "True Love" at Carl Perkins funeral about a year or two after this in TN. It was shot by the local news from the back of the church at Carl's funeral. Ricky Skaggs and maybe its Roseanne Cash who mildly goads him into singing.

[MissymissyJo]

Miss him so much! Truly gifted by God - such a deep thinker who blessed us with him music. Never to be forgotten. RIP George

[Monkofmagnesia]

There's an intensity in his eyes.

[MilitaryArcade]

Harrison and Lennon were truly the best beatles!

[MrRyanSams]

@MilitaryArcade Lennon and McCartney for me, but I love them all

[JAGAE]

@MilitaryArcade and McCartney and Starr :-)

[bd9598]

@MilitaryArcade  Are you serious?

[MilitaryArcade]

@bd9598 Hell yeah!

Mccartney was good n'all, but from the words of Lennon, he made too much "granny music".

Ringo, well, ringo was ringo.

Lennon and George were what made the beatles rock.

[geiadude]

He is Bob Dylan Again. The new beauty minstrel. At his best to the last

[innuendo2987]

Aguante! From Argentina.



[TheWoodsBand1]

George was the best.

[GHarrison19432001]

@TheWoodsBand1 i think you meant to say George Harrison IS the best

[martygruffy1]

@TheWoodsBand1  I agree!!!

[HerryKardjono]

A GREAT man

[Misteryowl]

See you soon, George. x

[oscar1363]

"Here comes the sun" possibly meant "here comes the freedom or the true"... since "Think for yourself" Harrison revealed himself as a poet... he was already a great melody composer who confronted the hard adaptation to the difficult duet of McCartney and Lennon but he was growing notably as a writer, "Any Road" is a bright and good sample.

[hochela]

Thank you for that interesting program that I could not see in his whole version.

A great public memory of George Harrison. Merci beaucoup!

How did you get it?
