[vickiT1968]

[topgazza]

What a combination of artists to sing a classic, aren't they all, Beatles song....thank you George

[exitos597]

del putas............

[TheGrubification]

0:39 brand new instrument, tag still on

[HammerFist1970]

I think if Eric really needed someone, he would probably just steal George's someone.

[gonzalo7254]

grande eric clapton,genio,que amigo,hay que tener un amigo asi que toque tan bien la guitarra como tocaba george,capo total.

[Wacokid48]

Thanks!

I know I've heard of him - especially on Eric's live shows?

he's great !

[Wacokid48]

OK...Eric and Jeff playing and singing beautifully...but the lead is played by some unknown guitar player with a Fender 12 string and he's spot on...and just killing it ! Who is he/

[nicksamboo]

@Wacokid48 Andy Fairweather Low

[strudelhead]

@Wacokid48 He's played extensively with Roger Waters over the past couple of years, although he was not part of the Wall....thus far !!

[Wacokid48]

man..what a tribute...the guitar gods converged and said ..we like George Harrison!..knew that 48 years ago. he's my guitar hero !!

[fourstringking48]

Great song x

[MultiHenry108]

[ikikikke]

@MultiHenry108 Ray Cooper

[2NaughtyLittleFly2]

[mindycrane]

Oh My God, thank you for posting this great song by George!!

[tanx54]

ONE OF THE GREATEST CONCERTS OF ALL TIME AND ALL GEORGE'S SONGS.

R I P GEORGE.

[21aug1954]

keiner kann George ersetzen, auch ein Eric Clapton nicht! Trotzdem ein super Konzert mit geiler Besetzung. Ganz besonders auch mit dem jugendlichen George ( Sohn ).

[tedobrien98]

Jesus he's the image of his father!!! :)

[1GoodRiddance]

Lol I accidentally pressed dislike on one of my favorite songs.

[Fang1213]

if you look aroung 2:30 you can see a 12 string rickenbacker in the back

[beditch64]

Just goes to show that the Beatles were amazing. Look at how many musicians it takes to reproduce the sound of the original recording.

[kocu66]

In this song we can hear the quality of these old Beatles songs. They are timeless and eternal.

[boneypart]

Clapton has a very nice voice. Great song by George. Nice job!

[GeorgeGuitarCovers]

1:29 Dhani looks exactly like George

[roughyed7]

Without the bass, this is just muzac.



[wcwow]

Eric Clapton looks like Dr. House on the first season

[BrieUSMCWife]

Dhani looks just like him.

[zosia5127]

The best tribute concert!!!

[saulo1516]

God, Dhani looks a lot like George

[Davian67]

A typically pedestrian performance, from rock's biggest bore, EC. Great song by George though. Petty would have done a way better version.

[Guitarwizard55]

Best concert at least for me that I have ever enjoyed. The feeling you get when you watch it is incredible.

[bobbollu]

this may be the tribute concert to end all tribute concerts. In contrast John Lennon's

had far fewer highlights and far less emotion. this from a guy who loves Lennon

me

[bigmarty56]

One more for Groucho--or whoever else wants to chime in---what is Harrison's most famous D figure tune?

[KUTVgroucho]

@bigmarty56 Here Comes the Sun?

[bigmarty56]

@KUTVgroucho BINGO, brother!

[53terra]

Fabulous...tha

nkyou for posting this.....:)

[TheMasterT14]

These are people, who are making real music with their voises and abilities on their guitar!

[bigmarty56]

There are many Rock luminaries on this, it's ok. I'm 58, and I have admired this early Harrison song for decades. It is Harrison "Juvenalia", and it's a tad Chauvinistic, but it's cool, in my view.

On the other hand, I play it out---just me and an acoustic guitar. And the 18 year olds, get real quiet, and actually listen. Happens every time. Stunning really.  And usually, some kid will come up to me after the set and say "What was that song? That was cool!" Who'd a thunk it?

[KUTVgroucho]

@bigmarty56 As for the song's chauvinism, it's certainly not in the "Songs for Patti" canon, is it? When he recorded this for Revolver, they'd already been married after dating for nearly two years.

[bigmarty56]

@KUTVgroucho Hey Groucho, you're good! As only guitar players know, it is a D figure with "pinky wiggling". I'd never heard that quotation before, but Zappa was right about the mechanism. Now, whether you like that or not (I do, he apparently didn't) is in the ear of the beholder. It is an early Harrison (if not Beatles) song, and I do think the lyrics are a little Chauvinistic, but--so what? Keep on Listening and Playing.

[KUTVgroucho]

@bigmarty56 I used to maintain a steady on-line correspondence with Macca's ex Frannie Schwartz years ago and she said that Harrison was a bit of a chauvinist in a way which was consistent with the "Northern" (England) male ethos of that time. Harrison did not want Patti to continue modeling after their marriage, preferring that she stay at home and be a "proper" wife. This expectation was part of what split up Macca and Jane Asher. He wanted the same thing. She wanted her career.

[bigmarty56]

@KUTVgroucho I don't and didn't have the pipeline that you did, but it just occurs to me that the lyrics are a tad Chauvinistic---male oriented. Beyond that, as I said in my original post, for some reason---I know not why---this song calms the madding hoards. I play this song out---like I said just me and a guitar----and the place goes silent. A crowd reaction like I have never experienced before. I'm good, but my view is---there are a lot of good people, it's the material. Go figure.

[KUTVgroucho]

@bigmarty56 Additionally, isn't ironic that in Linda, Macca got what he wanted, a wife by his side that wouldn't present a threat to his artistic stature. A bit of inside info there I was fortunate to have learned.

[bigmarty56]

@KUTVgroucho You might know better than I. My understanding is that Macca would allow Linda to perform with him, but tell the sound guy to turn her off. I have made an independent study of this (not) and I have concluded that Sir Paul likes large breasts.

[bobbollu]

@bigmarty56 lyrics to what are chauvanistic??

[bigmarty56]

@bobbollu I think at least a part of the message here is, "If I didn't have something better to do, I'd do you". It's probably not the intent, but that's the way it strikes me. I call that Chauvinistic. In my original post, I said "a tad Chauvinistic". I stick by that because I think it's a love song by a writer who was learning along the way---"Juvenalia", as I also said in my original post. This is a nice, early song, but it's not "Something" or "Here Comes the Sun".

[KUTVgroucho]

Respond to this video... I wanted to add ... what I liked about this tune is that it sounded like The Byrds, what with that D figure for the main riff, a riff that I recall Frank Zappa used to make fun of whenever he'd discuss the limitations of mid- 60s folk rock out of California ("... that D chord with the pinky wiggling around.")

[bobbollu]

@bigmarty56 what song are you referring to????

[DevilsNursery666]

Dhani looks just like his dad... i miss George :(

[TheDcrebel95]

I think the fact that they have five guitars playing this song is pretty epic, and a great tribute to George. R.I.P George.

[MindGames21]

dfdsgffdsfcx

[ShadowFan765]

Holy crap! Dhani looks like a miniature George!!!

[chonwai]

why this awesome concerts only happen when we lost a great musician?

[bobbollu]

@chonwai yes as good as this concert was and it was the best, couldn't help thinking how cool it would be if george himself popped out from backstage and did an encore with the band of some George songs not covered in this concert. Fact is this concert would never have taken place as just a tribute to a living George sad....

[romber58]

@bobbollu

Yeah ,that would have been so cool if George had just" popped out from backstage".Then he could have been the new saviour and replace Easter...At least we would have got the resurrection on DVD this time,you know, proof...lol

[Poltergeist40]

I'm sorry that he lost his Dad but God is George's son a precocious little creep..............

[al3xd1az2]

Cómo se llama el Disco ó Album de este concierto,amig@s????Saludos!!

[sas147741]

@al3xd1az2 Concert for George, cheers

[hosaminha]

@al3xd1az2 Concert for George ( aqui no Brasil...)

[theblehedgehog]

I hear this before, greta cover, but, i prefer the classic rickenbacker of 12 ropes for roger mcguinn

[MrTervic]

Dhani is a copy paste of his father ! looks so much like his father !

[KnopflerMr]

At 0:39 Andy Fairweather Low didn't have enough time to remove the price :)

[CJ2020888]

@KnopflerMr

might have been a loaner for the concert

[bw10211952]

@KnopflerMr

That is not a price tag....that is one of George's guitar he played for this concert. i imagine it is a tag they put on there for the roadies or whoever is in charge of the equipment.

[Leilanavab85]

LOVE THIS VERSION..... 

[cluciano63]

Really good song, really well done...

Go Dhani

[SuperLingual]

Dhani make Rock n Roll, for us and for George!



[bobbollu]

most emotional, and best performed tribute concert I have seen

[bobbollu]

most emoti

[phyllismarie13]

I own a lot of concert DVDs and this has to be one of my favorites.....from beginning to end.

[Drakkonam]

Little Dhani Harrison playing :D so cute

[warmlandlass1]

@Drakkonam isn't he a ringer for his dad?!

[GabrielDhalaman]

@Drakkonam Yes,george got so young after he was gone!

[gerardochaparro]

@Drakkonam Not that little.... actually he was 24 in this concert.

[CJ2020888]

@gerardochaparro

perhaps if his guitar was not as big as him, he would not look so young, dunno :D

[gerardochaparro]

@CJ2020888 LOL. I know!!

[martygruffy1]

@Drakkonam mum calls him danny

[MrLennon1000]

@Drakkonam spitting image of george!

[bobbollu]

Best tribute concert i have ever seen

[fms51]

@bobbollu Where's Tom Petty

[bobbollu]

@fms51 Tom Petty comes on at a different part of the concert and does a great job on if I needed someone

and Handle with Care

[omar44269]

@bobbollu You are right! It's make me cry each time i listen and see this concert.

[mysticgeorge]

@bobbollu

me too.

[qatryk90]

@bobbollu Tribute to the member of band that was best u've ever heard.

[19CACTUS51]

It sort of sacrilegious to be using a Fender 12 string instead of a Ric….

[strawer]

@19CACTUS51 The Electric XII Andy Fairweather-Low plays on the video is the same guitar used by George during the 1991 tour.

Originally this 1966 Electric XII started life in Ice Blue Metallic before being refinished in Firemist Gold a couple of years later.

[beatle1212121]

perfect

[GreatDylan420]

Ive always come back to this concert. Epic music

[comanchio1976]

@GreatDylan420 Same here. Like Eric said, it's evergreen.

[PeterMayer]

I have this dvd. I highly recommend you buy it!

[TheDerik72]
