George Harrison - Wah-Wah [HQ]

[Y4Uable]

Two Drummers, Awesome.

[tedster1956]

I still have my original "bootleg" album from this concert.

[cocoliso746]

FELIZ CUMPLEAÑOS GEORGE

[CookeryBook2]

can ringo and jim together play at my wedding?

[MacHowl]

Happy Birthday, George. I Wah Wah that you're not here.

[raonykhoury]

GEORGE LIVES! =)

[Gioma771]

Happy birthday George! :)

[davehoganmusic]

Dig the drummers. Separate but together.

[skbron1980]

Thanks Phil Spector for this high quality sound. God bless G. Harrison (the most talented Beatle in my personal opinion).

[LanIost]

I know I already left a concert stating this.. but after watching the whole performance I must say that it is MIND BLOWIGNLY good. I am now curious on how you get all the instruments at the ABSOLUTE PERFECT volume. This performance is FLAWLESS. People talk shit about Ringo's drumming but without a billion screaming girls it gives you more of a chance to NOT have to stay on the simplest beat to keep everyone together.

[LanIost]

Also, Ringo looks and sounds great here.

[LanIost]

Man, the I've never seen anything from the concert (somehow, I'm a huge 27 year old Beatles fan).

The first thing that comes to mind is how INCREDIBLE the mixing and over all sound is here. Every instrument and vocalist is at the EXACT right volume. This rarely happens so well, let alone back then.

Also, I actually like this way more than the album version.

[nbvu1]

Jim Keltner and Ringo Starr...

Double win.

[goingsupernuts]

[leosagcap5910]

What an incredible moment in time. George finally able to show us what "the quiet one" was really all about. And Leon, heating up the place with his piano, as usual...........

[judecreek2]

Ahhhhhh. Leon Russell making his presence known with his masterful piano.

[IntschuTschuna]

just mindblowing.... one of the best harrison track after the beatles!

[ke1kun]

Thumbs up if you are here thanks to The Vaccines

[nessyhonessy]

The Vaccines just posted this on facebook.....its such an incredible song! :D

[TrooperRaven]

At 0:40, is that Claudia Lennear in the straight brown hair and orange top?

[PaulDePace]

@TrooperRaven .....No that's not Claudia.

[ckblondiee]

Awesome George Harrison! His full talent was hidden while in The Beatles and he fully came into his own.

[evanau24]

ringos neck beard

[lockedabout]

i dislike it , cuz i want it to look like a joint 8-)

[jhnpizz]

[reptilicus]

@jhnpizz That was Jessie Davis.

[TheBeatles379]

I WAS THE ONLY PERSON WHO KNEW

what has high school come to.!!?

[malcnoid]

simply astounding, I love it

[ZumMeme]

[mrbeng111]

leon i mean

[mrbeng111]

lein russel looks like a stoned teddy bear

[nahuron]

why always ringo plays with another drummer at the same time?

[RayNDeere]

@nahuron Jim Keltner. Veteran session guy. Was the drummer for the Traveling Wilburys and played on solos albums for George, John and Ringo

[goalgerd]

fucking tune

[mrbeng111]

who is the guy at 0:50 next to GEORGE. I WANT 2 KNOW!!!!

[qdHazen]

@mrbeng111 Jesse Ed Davis.

[nafaidni]

@mrbeng111

Mick Jagger, I think... He would be a member of the Rolling Stones.

[twiddlythumbs]

That was amazing! :D

[mrfixit7970]

love it

[levanten1]

süper abii !!!! iste müzik bu !!

[MusicalTree3]

@topdog2328 - 'It's one louder'? Can't enlighten you but it IMO it beats synchronised swimming.

[MusicalTree3]

To

[TechnoMage99]

What a riff - heard this one for the first time two days ago - George Harrison documentary - totally blown away, love it!

[MrRocked123]

@gards2 i was thinking exactly the same thing

[topdog2328]

i still dont get the concept of having two drummers lol, anyone care to enlighten me?

[capriboy2o]

@topdog2328 A load of this stuff was recorded with double tracked drums...so he probably did that for the same desired effect live. Weather report were the same in the early days at times.

[AnthemsToTheWelkin]

Is there a fucking album version on youtube? Not demo, rare or live versions!

[MrRocked123]

@AnthemsToTheWelkin i couldnt find one for some reason :( i prefer this version anyway

[sixteenstringjack]

Total mind-blowing genius.



[shellbark1308]

Harrison, Clapton, Preston, Starr, Russell, Voorman unprecedented.



[Magaharrison]

Gracias George . Te amo!

[Vox91]

Great, except that the Concert for Bangla Desh was in 1971 (August 1st, to be exact), not 1972.

[datarecoil]

Lovin' this one. GH rockin' ...the horns.. so much talent on one stage..A walk in the park for them all.....Thanks for this! I am on my fourth spoonful. And for you lucky ones that were there. Can you Vulcan mind meld me plzzz

[planetarmony]

MY SWEET GEORGE. THE MESSAGES YOU TRIED TO TRANSFER BY YOUR MUSIC, YOUR LYRICS AND EVEN BY YOUR OWN LIFE, ARE TODAY MORE ACCURATE THAN EVER. YOU COME TO MY THOUGHTS ALMOST EVERY DAY, WHEN I LOOK AT THIS MESSY WORLD, WHRE THERE IS SO MUCH GREED. GOD BLESS YOU, SWEET MAN.

[wolfkarel]

Anyone who says Ringo couldn't drum.....is AN IDIOT!

[841401]

I wish there was a studio version of this song on Youtube

[RaaTheGodEaters]

oh god I wish I could go back in time and bang the singer with the yellow shirt at 0:40

[wolfkarel]

@RaaTheGodEaters Ohhhhhhhhhhhh.......Me too! ;-)

[tvcelebrity90210]

George Harrison - Wah-Wah [HQ]

[Mikemaniax]

I always feel so bad for Jim Horn. Why is his sax solo always removed from the album versions of this performance?

[matchbox555]

this is better than the studio recorded version on all things must pass

[stevedrums]

@matchbox555 Oh, gee. That's a tough one.

[TechnoMage99]

@matchbox555

Absolutely and I bought the CD just for this track as well!!!

[matchbox555]

@TechnoMage99 you paid for music ?

wow you must be old

[TechnoMage99]

@matchbox555

:) :) :)

Very well-spotted - yes I am old - I am 57.

[cannabicusprime]

@TechnoMage99 i would pay 394923 times for this track, lp audio or even CD. mp3 and youtube audio is shite

[CaptainInutile]

@matchbox555 the studio version is awesome, and this is genius

[Kraichgauicke1104]

@matchbox555 yeah, the studio version is shit. you can barely hear george's voice etc.

[transphormetic]

@matchbox555 your are totally correct there!

[pjennings424]

its a shame clapton was so smacked out for this concert...he could have torn this song apart. they should have turned him up in the mix regardless

[ravendon]

Thanks for sharing. It was a great concert.

But, it was in 1971.

[vickima12]

Concert for Bangladesh was August, 1, 1971.

[insectosocial245]

WAH WAAAAAAH!♫

[boliverful1]

I prefer this version to the one on All Things Must Pass...

[bluebloodbiz]

BANGLADESH WAS 71 

[newsoundrecords]

What a song, great performance but does anyone else think that the slide guitar gets lost with all the horns being played?

[dina26cz]

what's wah wah?

[Sexximan24]

@dina26cz

in liverpool where george and all the other beatles are from, its slang for a headache. this song was about paul

[dina26cz]

@Sexximan24 thanks!

[boliverful1]

@dina26cz  True story...Paul M. and George got into a verbal disagreement over George's guitar playing on Hey Jude. which is actually documented in the film Let It Be. Paul thought George was over embellishing. "I always seem to be annoying you," replied George. "Whatever it is you want me to do, I'll do it, if it pleases you..." George went home that afternoon with a monster headache and wrote Wah Wah; George's headache.

[jmactemin]

@boliverful1 That's true, in addition, george asked the other beatles to appear, Paul declined because they were in the middle of a trial and he didn´t want to encourage people to think that the beatles were going to reunite, and john agreed to appear without yoko, but at the last minute he reunited with her, she probably didn´t let him go!!

[macekekas]

@boliverful1 If true, thanks for sharing...

[boliverful1]

@macekekas No problem. It's also documented in that huge Beatle Anthology book that was written in their own words. Great reading, if you ever get a chance...

[jose785255]

@boliverful1 it wasnt the song Hey Jude, it was Two of us when george played the bass and paul the guitar

[boliverful1]

@jose785255 Thanks... haven't seen Let It Be in a while, so I'm sure you're right. I was just going by what George had said in the book...

[gorillabuisness]

0:49 ojo con nico repetto en la viola

[gards2]

Danny Baker on drums :)

[undyfive]

@gards2 I think that's Jim Keltner, with Ringo, on drums and not Danny Baker.

[gards2]

@undyfive i'm tellin ya it's Danny :)

[TheGrubification]

@gards2 It's Jim keltner. They mentioned it in the "Living in the Material World" documentary.

[undyfive]

@TheGrubification look for the 2 part HBO documentary on George by Martin Scorsese, I think you'll enjoy it

[wolfkarel]

@undyfive You would be correct ;-)

[Bellel1500]

ジョージ!!!!!

[mailonosnets]

WHAT AN AWESOME SOUND!!!



[ZumMeme]

<3 por que no dejo de escucharla no se pero es genial

[xenilihpx]

ringo looks like snow white's dwarf.

[TheGrubification]

@xenilihpx lol true

[MrRocked123]

[rramirez8189]

Love the Beatles Long Live George Harrison

[wolfkarel]

EPIC

[soundlightmaya]

Woman Don't You Cry For Me!

;-)



[KStealed]

[Wonka275]

George. Ringo. Eric. Billy. Perfection.

[TheToni4949]

Wah Wah toosie

[cleangene]

Wall of Sound live and in person from the ultra-humanitarian. THANK YOU SIR GEORGE!!!

[daniel0alvarez99]

thumbs up if you like the way george dances the wah wah

[Joossss15]

UNOS CAPOS TOTALES, ♥

[emiabbasoyyo]

1971

[Lizardofoz66]

Its actually a song about Paul and his way of sueing the other beatles

[TheCocky69]

@Lizardofoz66 wrong

[Lizardofoz66]

@TheCocky69 but you dont think its about the wah wah pedal?

[TheCocky69]

@Lizardofoz66 This isn't about Paul sueing the other Beatles.

[faustogg23]

@TheCocky69 Yes it is! George wrote this song after the film Let it be

[LeThereBeatles4ever]

this an AMAZING performance by George... It blows me away every time...

[cagwa]

Hairy Krishna's don't need no wah-wah!

[doglover3415]

I love this song, its so reminds me how cool the 70's were

[TheBeatlesJPGR53]

my favorite george song, love the guitar riff and drums

[4533GEORGE]

superrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

[gandior]

If you think its sounds good here it was even better live towhich I can attest to as I was there...

[nico666nico]

@gandior ur 41 years so you want us to belive u went to a concert in the 72´ ( 3 years old ) in bangladesh even though u are american ,and still remember it? COOL STORY BRO

[subg88]

The movie came out in 1972, hence the description...

You've given me a wah-wah. Reference to McCartney giving George a wah pedal during Let It Be sessions. Bootlegs feature some obviously less than enthusiastic experiments with the pedal - I don't believe Harrison ever used one on a recording.

[lauretum1958]

Concert For Bangladesh si è svolto il 1 agosto 1971 al Madison Square Garden di New York, non nel 1972.....

[MarshaR100]

LOVE

[dogluver2398]

It makes me cry to see George so alive... so beautiful... :'(

[Baron4ever17]

the very FIRST rocker to do a 'benefit' concert....George was absolute honesty and love!!!!!

[Baron4ever17]

you don't see him cryin didn't then, this man was the SOUL of the Beatles!!!!

[BALCACER]

The 40 years of this concert is coming !!!

Excelent George and the chorus is outstanding !!!

[Norah917]

Amazingly awesome

[sbourg55]

Saw this 'movie concert' on the big screen in 1972 -- this was the opening song. What a freaking genius George was. And how 'bout the drumming by Ringo?!? Love it. And how 'bout the cast? Clapton, Klaus Voorman (George met him in Hamburg in '61), Leon Russell. Great concert!!!!!!! One of the best, maybe THE.

[casadeplasticina]

What a sound!!!

[mdpriest578]

The bass line on this whips it right out! Thanks G

[rk3hunt]

Absolut Perfection!

[jrpulve]

I love that he's using two simultaneous drummers. Bloggers talk shit about Arcade fire have two drummers. wtf?

[kentaappel]

@jrpulve Yes, Ringo and Jim Keltner always in synch with each other, always tight, excellent drumming, excellent playing of all the musicians considering the players, most of them, had never played together and they didn't have a lot of time to rehearse.

[wolfkarel]

@kentaappel Both Ringo and Jim Keltner are 2 of the most underrated Drummers in music! Both are at the tops in IMO - Awesome, solid, steady......AND some flare! :-D

[zorbazig]

Music from the time when musicians knew how to make good songs and music...

[quarrendongrove]

well done george... hope you are being well looked after... thank you for your fantastic music

[churrisong]

I like.. george.

[gards2]

Fucking, brilliant.

[beatlesman135]

That 1 poor guy with no musical taste

[colu1492]

i like the way george danced

[lockedabout]

bass is awesome! just inmense!

[dubingster]

GREAT :)

[colu1492]

my friend gave me this album in 1978 thanks richard

[comanchio1976]

@colu1492 You're welcome.

[colu1492]

like Better Video

[comanchio1976]

@colu1492 Not like worse video?

[fusejockey]

George stormed out of the Let It Be recording sessions, 1/10/1969...

Angered at John's heroin-fueled disfunction, Harrison reached his limit and took off, not expecting to rejoin the group. The immediate product of his walk out was the song he wrote that day: Wah-Wah. Do you think he was writing/singing this to Lennon? credit: Fab4FAQ :>)

[luisortegaGNR]

I like the way that Christ tried to be like George

[comanchio1976]

@luisortegaGNR Tried but ultimately failed. Much the same as when Mohamed tried to be John.

The Buddha had a good go at being Paul McCartney's drummer though!

[wolfkarel]

@luisortegaGNR Amen ;-)

[starbond6]

Awesome bass. Much better sounding here than on the recordings

[bikerbobster]

Not to pick nits, but wasn't the concert for Bangladesh on 8/01/71 ?

[zorbazig]

@bikerbobster You're right man, it was Aug 1st, 1971

[BeatleJim55]

John and Paul were both asked to perform also...but alas...

[cogswell23]

The horns!

[stuart9510]

sencillamente Adoro a George Te Quiero y hoy estoy triste porque hace 9 años que te marchaste al cielo

[tdlewis103]

That George is one cool cat- I wish I was at the show.

What's the name of the hot black back up singer? She ready for the party to start right now! I wonder if she is still on the scene...
