@@teklife I agree. And even through a headset- I can identify most of unique sounds all coming together! With a perfect balance between Billy’s voice and the magic of the rest.
The amazing Billy Preston. What a voice! When you have Ringo Starr, Paul McCartney, and Eric Clapton, and Dhani Harrison backing you up, you KNOW you've come home!
I hope Dhani, when he was on stage, respected the legends he was playing alongside, because assuming that place with them is the greatest of honors, just as they honored Dhani by having him stand amongst them. He will never be his father, but he earned his place representing him.
I would rather live as if there is a God, and die to find out there isn't..Than to live my life as if there isn't a God, then die and find out there is!!

Billy Preston died a few years after this. Indeed, he is now in heaven with his friend and they are probably singing together. Rest in peace Billy and rest in peace George. You are missed but never forgotten.
The resurrection of the dead has not yet come, they sleep. Furthermore, there are no musical instruments in heaven. We will be like angels of light. Read the Bible and you will know the truth, Jesus!

An illustration of how powerful a songwriter George Harrison was. He was in a band with the two greatest songwriters in history. George shone very brightly in his solo career. His light will shine on forever.
As The Beatles did their last ever record in the studio, "Abbey Road", Harrison wrote "Something" and "Here Comes The Sun". Both John and Paul gave high praise to their band mate. McCartney said, "George now writes songs that are at least as good as John's and mine". Lennon said "Something" is the best song on the album. They must have realized that as they all got more mature into their mid and late 20s, George was in a bit of a tough spot since John and Paul had been the ones who had written most all their songs from the beginning and were such good song writers. Harrison was 3 years younger than John and a year and a half younger than Paul. when they started John was 16, Paul was 14 almost 15. George was only 13 at that time. When you are that young, 1 or 2, and especially 3 grades older kinda makes a big difference when you are in your middle school and high school years. That is where the dynamic of the band began.
@@nycinstyle Lennon was a wife-beater and was also criminally overrated, as was his horrendous sounding wife. The truth in the matter is that Harrison never needed The Beatles...
@@davidlindley2754 Harrison I am positive was extremely happy that he was a part of The Beatles, and he would disagree with your comment calling Lennon overrated. Obviously, Harrison didn't need Lennon and McCartney to be a great musician/singer/songwriter, none of them needed each other. All of them duh of course were very happy they were together and members of The Beatles.
@@wrigman I believe it was George Martin that usually received that designation. Billy was a good friend of George's and was brought in as a condition of George returning to finish the "Abbey Road" album to serve as a stabilizing presence. He also played in the famous rooftop concert that marked their last performance together as "The Beatles."
@@frossbogGeorge Martin does but Billy does too. Honestly there’s a few “fifth Beatles” and I think that’s because no one person other than John Paul George or Ringo is grisly a Beatle the way they were. But others have come close and that’s why they share the fifth spot

A master piece by Georges Harrison RIP. What ever is your religion, the spirituality of this song is deeper than the ocean. I'm a muslim and can't have enough of it.
I have dementia, which amongst other thing makes me very emotional. Tears are streeming down my face as I watch this. What an amazing tribute to a very humble man! RIP George.
I aint dementiaed yet, and I am crying. It's a great song, a great tribute that involves his son and great artists, and make no mistake about it, it involves Him and His Son, too.
Wow, I'm just coming from the Get Back documentary. Seeing an older Billy Preston playing my favorite Harrison song actually almost brought a tear to my eye. Not to mention also having Clapton and Harrison's son on guitar with Paul and Ringo there too. I can't even describe the emotions that this video made me feel because it took me so much by surprise. Wonderful performance. And wow, Dhani Harrison looks SO much like his father here
Billy and George will never be forgotten! What an epic performance by Billy...damn hes a keyboardist so I was blown away how good he sings! God bless both of them.
I am not a religious man. But this brings tears to my eyes. How on earth you cannot be moved by this song is beyond me . And the dislikes not worth mentioning
@shame fitzsimons - I'm the same! 51 years old, tears streaming. Why is that? Religious? Me? No. Spiritual maybe? Something in this brings out my love for other humans.
Hello, @guillermo3564 - indeed a very good point. Without them this concert would be very poor and incomplete. Bravo for this good observation. Best regards 👍👏😉☮
year in the ashram we chanted this stuff, changed my life. Hare Krishna. so grateful. this was awesome, the three women... that's what it was like in the ashram... the men and women chanted, alternate verses, just broke your heart open, you wept.
Jeff -- 🇨🇦 Nov. 7 2024 !! George is missed . Totally under appreciated ! He was the best of the Beatles ! I’m 70 years old and I remember Feb. 9, 1964 ! I was 10 lying on the floor watching the Ed Sullivan Show !!! Awesome ! 😊😊
RIP George Harrison (February 25, 1943 - November 29, 2001), aged 58 And RIP Billy Preston (September 2, 1946 - June 6, 2006), aged 59 You both will be remembered as legends.
Billy Preston will also be remembered for staging a fire at his home as part of a $1 million insurance fraud scheme. Billy Preston: I really wanna see you lord, but it takes so long …… LORD: you didn’t make the cut Billy with all the alcohol, drugs, women. You worshipped the almighty dollar more than you worshipped me so “it’s gonna take a little longer, eternally longer in fact” All those adoring fools who loved your hypocritical religious devotion to me do NOT match your nefarious deeds. Pearly gates Closed. So you won’t “get to know me” like you thought by singing fake devotion songs….
@@MyOneFiftiethOfADollar why cashtise him for his sins....when you sin....just differently! And i am an atheist!!! So technically I do not believe in sin...just humanity and non of us are perfect!
Linda música que marcou minha adolescência, anos 80 dourados e maravilhosos que jamais existirá igual. A juventude de hoje não sabe o que ser feliz com pouco, não sabe o que é música boa e de qualidade
No, he did not ! The LORD JESUS CHRIST is not Hare Krishna.... and all the other false gods! Listen to the backing singers .... what are saying, Hare Rana, Hare Krishna, Guru Vishnu, guru devo, parabahma, guru nahama etc. These are all names of false gods. Cannot and will never be The Gospel... the Gospel is about the LORD JESUS CHRIST. Sounds good but not good.
I’m an atheist but I’m a big fan of the song, studying religions to understand them and have nothing wrong with religion since they’re amazing charitable organizations. I just don’t like it when others push their religious beliefs onto others and are inconsiderate to other beliefs.
Paul playing Piano, Ringo playing Drums, George's son playing guitar looking just like him. So heavenly. It is also weird on the amount of talented friends George had.
@@yagesh287 Billy Preston wasn't an actual Beatle, but played with them, and other artists, often. Billy was an R&B/funk/gospel artist of the 1960s and 1970s. He had some great songs, and backed many of the artists of the day. "Nothing From Nothing" is one of my favorites. Look it up. 😁
Thank you, George Harrison, for this beautiful song and thank you to Your son and Billy Preston, Eric Clapton, Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr and the many other wonderful musicians and singers that paid tribute to you this way. Absolutely stunning.
As much as I love George Harrison performing this himself, Billy Preston's version brings me to tears! George left us 19 years ago today! He's up there singing with Billy!
23 July 2024 my sweet Lord, has and always will be the most beautiful heart felt, spiritual awakening song ever written. I still shed tears of joy whenever I hear this . This should be played on every station everyday because The Sweet Lord only knows this world could use it. May the lord bless George and Billy in the heavens above. 🕊️❤️
Oh my God--so grateful that this came up on my suggestions...I'm stunned at how incredibly good this version is. Every part is covered by this skilled ensemble. The harmony vocals are sublime! I've always loved Billy Preston (and George of course!) this is quite the gift! Always nice to see Dhani there looking just like his Dad playing guitar. You are so right, this should be played on the radio every day because this troubled world needs more of the love and joy this song provides. Amen to that! (wish I'd known about this video during the pandemic...)
Billy's voice in this performance is the most soft and wonderful voice I've heard in a very long time. George must be sitting up there in heaven crying tears of joy.
@@DaveBallOW Autotune!!!!??? WTF - He's not near that at all. Autotune always give that kind of artificial aftereffect, but Preston doesn't need that. That's obvious!
@@wilsonattitoe3997 Yes I remember that. Also the story that Dhani got teased when Yellow Submarine came out. He didn`t know his father was in The Beatles. George`s reply was " Sorry, I guess I should haave told you that . . . . :)
That was an all star tribute. George’s Son looks just like him, Paul, Ringo, and Eric Clapton was great! In the beginning , they used to call Billy the 5th Beetle because with his talent and friendship, he blended right in. Loved the song.
If you don't count Pete,, Actually he's the 5th Beatle. Jeff Lynne 6th. Jeff's better than all of em together. He n Georgie playing banjos is priceless.
Murray the K from WINS in NYC was the first Fifth (not in the band) Beatle. He went on the 1964 US tour and mentioned being the fifth beatle constantly . Not sure if he was the emcee but wouldn't be surprised. First time I ever heard the term.
I just want to note how Mr. Preston got everyone up on their feet here. He absolutely preached this song. I hope that George was somewhere he could see this, because I expect he would have loved it.
He let the audience know that this is a moment. It took them a while but they figured it out because he waited for them. Good observation, I wish I was there!
I am a Huge fan of George Harrison repeat Huge fan but I must say that Billy Preston's rendition here is the Best Version I have Ever heard. Billy puts so much emotion in his singing it is simply put Phenomenal. So unfortunate that Billy is gone RIP to both George Harrison and Billy Preston. Thank You.
One of the rare instances where a live version is far superior to the original. Billy Preston absolutely nails this, and the backing vocals and instruments were superb. Love it
Your listening to this song in 2024 ?? WOW isn't that just fantastic I didn't think people would be listening to it in 2024 that's just amazing who would of thought hey??
The amount of talent on that stage is mind blowing. Clapton managed to organize this show exactly one year to the day George passed. He really worked his tail off to accomplish that. This ranks as one as the greatest concerts ever. Well done Eric!!!
Totally agree, a show of enormous category, it is really exciting to see these unique musical talents in the tribute to George Harrison and precisely with this song, which I have personally loved from the moment I heard it for the first time. It brings back so many memories of my youth. Greetings from Argentina.
To see George's son playing along with the Greats, plus the Great Billy Preston, I'm 50 years old, of course a few tears fell, this was beautiful 💪🏿💪🏿💯💯.
@@shatelleperry6881 Billy Preston is one of the most underrated musicians EVER and was never given his due. It's a crime that he wasn't inducted into the Rock and Roll hall of fame until 2020 - 14 years after dying in 2006. He wrote some of the Beatles greatest hits and was considered the 5th Beatle. Even the Beatles ripped him off and never gave him his full recognition. Preston died with a Net worth of $1 million dollars. The follow are the net worth for each Beatles: Paul McCartney: $1.2 BILLION! Yoko Ono (Lennon): $700 Million Olivia Harrison (George): $400 Million Ringo Star: $350 Million Billy Preston: $1 Million There's something seriously wrong with those numbers! SHAMEFUL!
It’s true but lit like a lot of victims billy was one himself. Sexualy abused as a child. Who knows what torment these people suffer. It’s like a cycle of abuse. Remember billy for being a great musician. Perhaps his failings were not his fault.
I remember Billy being in the 2nd version of the Sergeant Pepper movie. I really love this song, though. George Harrison and Billy, amazing musicians. I know about Billy and the abuse etc. That's a big batch of imperfect! But it's also a sickness and him being abused is not his fault. People do what they know, even if, logically, they know it's wrong. I read he was honestly remorseful. There are sicknesses that aren't likely to be curbed with any treatment but imprisonment. It's horrible. However, I choose to look at the good he did in his life. He was an amazing musician and with this gift he did good in the world. He made people happy and made others want to be worthy of life. Yes, he did terrible things, but the man is gone from this world. I am not excusing anything he did, but only saying we can look upon the good as a bit of repayment for the pain he caused.
Billy Preston recorded this song right when George Harrison wrote it and it was not successful, and at the end of his life, he gave voice to this spectacular version. Justice was done!
A mis amigos de mi niñez y adolescencia , a quienes no os veo desde hace mas de 40 años, quiero que sepais que OS QUIERO y siempre os he llevado en mi corazon. Al escuchar estas canciones he revivido aquellos años de los 60 y los 70 en que compartimos lo mejor de la vida. Os mando un ABRAZO alla donde esteis
Billy did the original recording of this a few months before George recorded it. I didn't like Billy's first recording but this one is brilliant only bettered by George's.
I AM SO CHOKED LISTENING TO THIS .THERE ARE TEARS RUNNING DOWN MY FACE .ITS SO BEAUTIFUL .BILLY YOU RE THE BEST .GEORGE WOULD HAVE BEEN SO PROUD OF YOU. LOVE AND RESPECT IN THIS MAD WORLD .
Sad to hear that Billy Preston passed away. He was much more than just a keyboard player. He was a producer, a song writer and an all-round musician. His soulful voice will ring in my head forever. What a singer he was.
Me, too. I am dismayed to know that Billy Preston has died. I enjoyed his musical keyboarding since I became a young adult. As a keyboardist, Billy Preston made music come to life.
Billy was an absolute Beatle. They were like children around him when recording as he was such an accomplished musician when he worked with them all those years ago. God bless him
@Mike G -- There is a reason beyond just the greatness of the song: George actually wrote -- and gave away - "My Sweet Lord" to Billy Preston in 1970, who put out his own much more Gospel style version as a single that year. And yet... Billy, Eric Clapton, Ringo, Gary Wright and others ended up playing on Harrison's release of the song that same year. Meaning Preston was involved from the very beginning. He also worked with the Beatles off and on for years, as well as the Rolling Stones and others. A versatile, much loved artist. So he deserved to enjoy this last tribute to his friend George.
Being an Indian and a hindu, there is this divine connection between you and this song that sends you, your soul into a religious prayer deep inside your heart. The experience leaves you inspired and full of positive thoughts. RIP Greorge Harrison.. You shall forever stay in our hearts... Let Lord Krishna send you your eternal blessings.....
I'm not a spiritual/religious person, but man, this song moves my heart. It's really beautiful even if it's simple. Also, watching Billy and all the musicians perform it with such passion for George, including the tambourine man (without any intention of mocking him), it's really touching. That's the power of Mr. Harrison, one of the greatest musicians of all time.
@@Wes8761 Definitely, the stage is crowded with music legends giving their soul to the songs. I did not know who he was. Thank you for sharing his name, now I'm aware of his contribution to music.
Wes8761 Really? That’s interesting. Did Ray Cooper play with the Beatles? He’s quite a legend in his own right. Played in the Elton John band for a long time and with lots of other great musicians.
This is a Harrison song that has relatively few lyrics and guitar chords but at the same time the soulful penetration into our souls is immeasurable 🙏🏻
OMG never seen this video before. Sitting here watching it and sobbing for George, John and my youth. Where did the years go 😢 and how lucky are we that these four guys combined to produce music like this. Beatles forever ❤
Oh my...Billy Preston...An American treasure and talent that can never be emulated. A monster songwriter, virtuoso musician, fellow Houstonian and magical musical collaborator. From his work with Little Richard, The Beatles to his solo albums...he inspires, uplifts and makes us all want to be better humans...Rest In Peace...Billy...!
ive probably watched this like 50 times in the past week. you can't match Billy Preston's feel for music. i loved watching his energy in Get Back so cool
No kidding I can't believe the judge somehow think this sounded like he's so fine and Harrison lost the rights to this but amazing the way this was done with Billy Preston and the rest of them priceless tc staysafe
Just watching their performances I could always tell that George Harrison loved Billy Preston clear back to that last Beatles performance on the rooftop in 1969. I think that Billy Preston brought the gift of peace to George -- Hare Krishna. Happy Birthday.
This song, this performance is so spiritual and powerful, words cannot describe this performance except historical! Everyone, Billy Preston, Clapton, Harrison, McCarthy. Ringo Starr, all of them, the back up singers, the bloody cameraman, this was all around perfect!
@@blt981 I think so! It's really interesting because that isn't something that **I** have understood from previous recordings and on the album but it's easily read in the lyrics so I don't know why I hadn't noticed!

Not to mention also having Clapton and Harrison's son on guitar with Paul and Ringo there too. I can't even describe the emotions that this video made me feel because it took me so much by surprise. Wonderful performance. And wow, Dhani Harrison looks SO much like his father here
Right?! Wiping the tears as I type.
Same ❤️
With you….a beautiful performance. 🙏💛👌
I say: Dhani is George's clone
Me too , awesome
Billy and George will never be forgotten! What an epic performance by Billy...damn hes a keyboardist so I was blown away how good he sings! God bless both of them.
Have you not heard any of his music before? His most famous song is something from nothing. It’s a really good song.
The love of my life died from cancer this month and I keep coming back to this song over and over.Thank you Billy and George.
I'm so sorry for your loss. Your partner is with Our Lord now. God Bless💗🙏
So sad for your loss
Sorry for loss.
Sooner or later you'll both be reunited under the grace of God 🙏
I’m so sorry for your loss! The incredible grief you must be feeling.
I am not a religious man.
But this brings tears to my eyes.
How on earth you cannot be moved by this song is beyond me .
And the dislikes not worth mentioning
don't need to believe in one god to be sensible, it's in our nature
Don't be religious, be spiritual, that's when you find the divine meaning.
And now Billy is jamming with George and John in heaven. And God, the biggest Beatle fan of all, is enjoying and singing along with them.
@shame fitzsimons - I'm the same! 51 years old, tears streaming. Why is that? Religious? Me? No. Spiritual maybe? Something in this brings out my love for other humans.
Hey man, don't gotta be religious to believe in god. There is something much greater than us and there are people out there that can show it to us
Everybody here is truly amazing, but can we get some love for those 3 back up singers? Those ladies sounded so powerful.
Yeah @gguillermo3564. You got it!
Hello, @guillermo3564 - indeed a very good point. Without them this concert would be very poor and incomplete. Bravo for this good observation. Best regards 👍👏😉☮
they overtake the song especially the blonde one too loud
Amen

Jeff -- 🇨🇦 Nov. 7 2024 !! George is missed . Totally under appreciated ! He was the best of the Beatles ! I’m 70 years old and I remember Feb. 9, 1964 ! I was 10 lying on the floor watching the Ed Sullivan Show !!! Awesome ! 😊😊
Was about the same in my house in Albany N. Y.
My favorite one, the most spiritual and creatif, handsome. You are right !

We were there with you...millions of 10 year olds.
RIP George Harrison (February 25, 1943 - November 29, 2001), aged 58
And
RIP Billy Preston (September 2, 1946 - June 6, 2006), aged 59
You both will be remembered as legends.
Wow I didn't realize Billy was only 59. That's Crazy. May they both be Resting in Paradise
Billy Preston will also be remembered for staging a fire at his home as part of a $1 million insurance fraud scheme.
Billy Preston: I really wanna see you lord, but it takes so long ……
LORD: you didn’t make the cut Billy with all the alcohol, drugs, women. You worshipped the almighty dollar more than you worshipped me so “it’s gonna take a little longer, eternally longer in fact”
All those adoring fools who loved your hypocritical religious devotion to me do NOT match your nefarious deeds.
Pearly gates Closed. So you won’t “get to know me” like you thought by singing fake devotion songs….
@@MyOneFiftiethOfADollar why cashtise him for his sins....when you sin....just differently! And i am an atheist!!! So technically I do not believe in sin...just humanity and non of us are perfect!
@@MyOneFiftiethOfADollar Just think--you won't be remembered for posting unnecessary snark on a youtube video. Congrats!
He was a sinner but also a angel.
Linda música que marcou minha adolescência, anos 80 dourados e maravilhosos que jamais existirá igual. A juventude de hoje não sabe o que ser feliz com pouco, não sabe o que é música boa e de qualidade
When you watch the Get Back docs you realize just how key Billy Preston was to bringing that session together. He was the glue. So great
His nickname was the 5th Beetle for a reason. 🤗
Rene Feliz Navidad" ua-cam.com/video/MwsEfec2j_M/v-deo.html
He was one of my favorite parts. George was seemingly one of his biggest fans at the time.
True!
Always had a smile on his face.
Billy Preston just turned "My Sweet Lord" into a Gospel song. This man had 'the spirit' flowing through him as he sang. ❤
My sweet lord thanksgiving 🙏🙏🙏🙏
No, he did not !
The LORD JESUS CHRIST is not Hare Krishna.... and all the other false gods!
Listen to the backing singers .... what are saying, Hare Rana, Hare Krishna, Guru Vishnu, guru devo, parabahma, guru nahama etc. These are all names of false gods.
Cannot and will never be The Gospel... the Gospel is about the LORD JESUS CHRIST. Sounds good but not good.
@@pantonpam8024 damn, you misunderstood what's the comment about. also let people believe what they want to believe.
I’m an atheist but I’m a big fan of the song, studying religions to understand them and have nothing wrong with religion since they’re amazing charitable organizations. I just don’t like it when others push their religious beliefs onto others and are inconsiderate to other beliefs.
hare krishna!
Paul playing Piano, Ringo playing Drums, George's son playing guitar looking just like him. So heavenly. It is also weird on the amount of talented friends George had.
As close as we're gonna come to a Beatles reunion on earth, in the heaven's............
And Billy Preston-one of The Beatles member in Let It Be album ))
@@aigarslindentals8315 sorry, new Beatles fan as I am kinda young. Didn't know him.
@@yagesh287 Billy Preston wasn't an actual Beatle, but played with them, and other artists, often. Billy was an R&B/funk/gospel artist of the 1960s and 1970s. He had some great songs, and backed many of the artists of the day. "Nothing From Nothing" is one of my favorites. Look it up. 😁
Wasn’t that Eric Clapton too?
When singers had soul, long live George Harrison and Billy Preston the world would not be the same without them. ❤
Thank you, George Harrison, for this beautiful song and thank you to Your son and Billy Preston, Eric Clapton, Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr and the many other wonderful musicians and singers that paid tribute to you this way. Absolutely stunning.

23 July 2024 my sweet Lord, has and always will be the most beautiful heart felt, spiritual awakening song ever written. I still shed tears of joy whenever I hear this . This should be played on every station everyday because The Sweet Lord only knows this world could use it. May the lord bless George and Billy in the heavens above.
🕊️❤️
Oh my God--so grateful that this came up on my suggestions...I'm stunned at how incredibly good this version is. Every part is covered by this skilled ensemble. The harmony vocals are sublime! I've always loved Billy Preston (and George of course!) this is quite the gift! Always nice to see Dhani there looking just like his Dad playing guitar. You are so right, this should be played on the radio every day because this troubled world needs more of the love and joy this song provides. Amen to that!

Absolutely he was. Id never heard him but fell in love with the man and his music
@@crissyheimlich9216 Billy Preston was a brilliant musician. Check out his solo stuff and his work with Clapton as well as The Beatles!

I live this song,I love Billy preston. He did an awesome job singing this song he has amazing voice 💜
Thankyou BILLY
Dhani looking just like his father; so even though George passed on, he still lives.
According to Dhani the dad said he Dhani resembles him more than himself.
I swear I did a double and a triple take, thought I saw George Harrison and realized it could only be his son. 😊
@@wilsonattitoe3997 Yes I remember that. Also the story that Dhani got teased when Yellow Submarine came out. He didn`t know his father was in The Beatles.
George`s reply was " Sorry, I guess I should haave told you that . . . . :)
@@wilsonattitoe3997 I think George said, he looks more like me, than me. Same thing, maybe it was on Graham Norton?
@@wilsonattitoe3997 Actually true! LOL
That was an all star tribute. George’s Son looks just like him, Paul, Ringo, and Eric Clapton was great! In the beginning , they used to call Billy the 5th Beetle because with his talent and friendship, he blended right in. Loved the song.
Jeff Lynne !
I loved the way Ravi Shankar called Dhani his grandson... So special
thought they called George Martin the 5th Beatle.. Billy Preston is the 6th Beatle then
If you don't count Pete,, Actually he's the 5th Beatle. Jeff Lynne 6th.
Jeff's better than all of em together. He n Georgie playing banjos is priceless.
Murray the K from WINS in NYC was the first Fifth (not in the band) Beatle. He went on the 1964 US tour and mentioned being the fifth beatle constantly . Not sure if he was the emcee but wouldn't be surprised. First time I ever heard the term.
Billy was often the 5th Beatle. A great tribute to George. Thank you
His voice was MADE to sing this song.
I just want to note how Mr. Preston got everyone up on their feet here. He absolutely preached this song. I hope that George was somewhere he could see this, because I expect he would have loved it.
George saw it, he is in a better place now.
God probably said , Hay George come and have a look at this down there,
@@newton18311 or the devil could have said.. Hey George come and look up n see what these folks r doing. Paying amuge to me e Harikrishna.
@@MM-ku2jt Krishna was the pre-incarnate Christ. Preston was probably aware this as a devout Christian.
He let the audience know that this is a moment. It took them a while but they figured it out because he waited for them. Good observation, I wish I was there!
Bill is singing for his fallen mate. He and George were best buds. RIP Bill & George. I do hope you two found each other again.
Let the party restart! Your so right!
Of course they're together again & see each other all the time just like on Earth !! 😍

Hallelujah!
I'll second that
Lovely comment
He sounds beautiful too
such a shame they're all slowly leaving us. (as i knock on wood).
I am a Huge fan of George Harrison repeat Huge fan but I must say that Billy Preston's rendition here is the Best Version I have Ever heard. Billy puts so much emotion in his singing it is simply put Phenomenal. So unfortunate that Billy is gone
RIP to both George Harrison and Billy Preston. Thank You.
Oh I had no idea he passed. Rest in Paradise king 🙏🏾
Well said! And, I think Billy is one of a small handful of singers on the planet that can sing this better than George
Yes!!!!
agreed, Billy's vocals are superb.
Nope
One of the rare instances where a live version is far superior to the original. Billy Preston absolutely nails this, and the backing vocals and instruments were superb. Love it
I'm listening to this Masterpiece in 2024.
My Sweet Lord ❤❤❤
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Your listening to this song in 2024 ?? WOW isn't that just fantastic I didn't think people would be listening to it in 2024 that's just amazing who would of thought hey??
After hearing this, I do not think there is anyone else on Earth that could have nailed this song the way Billy Preston did.
Totally agree👍👍
WOW ❤ 😎
Billy. Preston. Has. It. Going. On. Your. He. Sure. Did. Nail. It. Loved. It.
Beautiful
100%, but it’s too bad the video didn’t once focus on the slide guitar solos. That was a poor choice.
The amount of talent on that stage is mind blowing. Clapton managed to organize this show exactly one year to the day George passed. He really worked his tail off to accomplish that. This ranks as one as the greatest concerts ever. Well done Eric!!!
Totally agree. I love coming back to this every so often. Exceptional musicians ,what great music too.
Totally agree, a show of enormous category, it is really exciting to see these unique musical talents in the tribute to George Harrison and precisely with this song, which I have personally loved from the moment I heard it for the first time. It brings back so many memories of my youth. Greetings from Argentina.
Clapton, and McCartney, also don't feel the need to be the center of attention during the show. They let the music speak for itself.
Probably guilty about getting Patti Hanson away from George. (What the song “Layla” is about).
@@kirbyatkins4862 no.
What a sendoff. Billy, Paul, Ringo, Eric Clapton, George's boy and played with exquisite mastery and art. God speed.
To see George's son playing along with the Greats, plus the Great Billy Preston, I'm 50 years old, of course a few tears fell, this was beautiful 💪🏿💪🏿💯💯.
Amen to that! Billy hit this one out of the park.
Same hear.
I thought he looked like George!
Billy was one of the Greats!!
@@shatelleperry6881 Billy Preston is one of the most underrated musicians EVER and was never given his due. It's a crime that he wasn't inducted into the Rock and Roll hall of fame until 2020 - 14 years after dying in 2006. He wrote some of the Beatles greatest hits and was considered the 5th Beatle. Even the Beatles ripped him off and never gave him his full recognition. Preston died with a Net worth of $1 million dollars. The follow are the net worth for each Beatles:
Paul McCartney: $1.2 BILLION!
Yoko Ono (Lennon): $700 Million
Olivia Harrison (George): $400 Million
Ringo Star: $350 Million
Billy Preston: $1 Million
There's something seriously wrong with those numbers! SHAMEFUL!
Billy is iconic. His contribution to the Beatles is severely underrated. He is one of the greats
@@midnightowl401 really?
Ricardo Hernandez whaaaat
It’s true but lit like a lot of victims billy was one himself. Sexualy abused as a child. Who knows what torment these people suffer. It’s like a cycle of abuse. Remember billy for being a great musician. Perhaps his failings were not his fault.
I remember Billy being in the 2nd version of the Sergeant Pepper movie. I really love this song, though. George Harrison and Billy, amazing musicians. I know about Billy and the abuse etc. That's a big batch of imperfect! But it's also a sickness and him being abused is not his fault. People do what they know, even if, logically, they know it's wrong. I read he was honestly remorseful. There are sicknesses that aren't likely to be curbed with any treatment but imprisonment. It's horrible. However, I choose to look at the good he did in his life. He was an amazing musician and with this gift he did good in the world. He made people happy and made others want to be worthy of life. Yes, he did terrible things, but the man is gone from this world. I am not excusing anything he did, but only saying we can look upon the good as a bit of repayment for the pain he caused.
@@awarenessvillage yes best to forgive if possible
Billy Preston recorded this song right when George Harrison wrote it and it was not successful, and at the end of his life, he gave voice to this spectacular version. Justice was done!
It's a beautiful singer, the best of my time, thanck you Rachid, forever, pour toujours!!!!!!!

The 5th Beatle. Billy was an amazing musician. Thank you for your music, George. An amazing tribute.
Definitely, Billy was fabulous! 😅
I love his song “Will it Go Round in Circles”
One could argue Clapton as a "5'th Beatle" (see "While My Guitar Gently Weeps"), though Billy actually got credited for some of his work.
George Martin is already considered the 5th Beatle.
Just great
+ Clapton 😊
I've never heard Billy Preston singing. I am impressed by his vocals.
Same here.
And his best and classic and epic 'I wrote a simple song"
Billy did the original recording of this a few months before George recorded it. I didn't like Billy's first recording but this one is brilliant only bettered by George's.
Check out the Beatles get back.
He died in 2006, when was this concert?

Sad to hear that Billy Preston passed away. He was much more than just a keyboard player. He was a producer, a song writer and an all-round musician. His soulful voice will ring in my head forever. What a singer he was.
He was also known as the 5th Beatle.
what a talent - Billy Preston, they broke the mold with him.
Oh ,an, that’s so sad. Didn’t know. Was he sick?
the 5th Beatles and the 6th Rolling Stones. RIP
Me, too. I am dismayed to know that Billy Preston has died. I enjoyed his musical keyboarding since I became a young adult. As a keyboardist, Billy Preston made music come to life.
Billy Preston wasn't just going through the motions... he really enjoyed singing that. Great version!
Yes indeed!!! I'm speechless. The tears are flowing
THE BEST TO BEST,O FIVE BEATLE
Yes Mike....he is singing this from his heart... nkt just a song but about the lord... and very very sweet and the lord
Billy was an absolute Beatle. They were like children around him when recording as he was such an accomplished musician when he worked with them all those years ago. God bless him
@Mike G -- There is a reason beyond just the greatness of the song: George actually wrote -- and gave away - "My Sweet Lord" to Billy Preston in 1970, who put out his own much more Gospel style version as a single that year. And yet... Billy, Eric Clapton, Ringo, Gary Wright and others ended up playing on Harrison's release of the song that same year.
Meaning Preston was involved from the very beginning. He also worked with the Beatles off and on for years, as well as the Rolling Stones and others. A versatile, much loved artist. So he deserved to enjoy this last tribute to his friend George.
My heart broke a bit when his bros died...how often in ones lifetime will one get to witness a wander like this...absolutely phenomonal...
Being an Indian and a hindu, there is this divine connection between you and this song that sends you, your soul into a religious prayer deep inside your heart. The experience leaves you inspired and full of positive thoughts.
RIP Greorge Harrison..
You shall forever stay in our hearts...
Let Lord Krishna send you your eternal blessings.....
Those who praise the Lord are praised by the Lord.
Now 2023!!!!
Yes now!
Soy católico e igualmente me impregna ese sentimiento por Dios nuestro señor, que canción tan linda.
Yes....the words....are so pleading. On that path...I really just want to go with him/her. I really want to see him.
Billy Preston owned that song. He did such a phenomenal job. All of them! Very emotional.
Extraordinary
George originally gave the song to Billy to record in the 70's 🎵❤
Very🙏
Did he ever 🙏🏻
So true! How are they not crying while playing? omg
I'm not a spiritual/religious person, but man, this song moves my heart. It's really beautiful even if it's simple. Also, watching Billy and all the musicians perform it with such passion for George, including the tambourine man (without any intention of mocking him), it's really touching.
That's the power of Mr. Harrison, one of the greatest musicians of all time.
The tambo man is Ray Cooper. He was important to beatles history and a friend of george
Even the people with insignificant instruments are legends. its insane how many legends they had at this concert
@@Wes8761
Definitely, the stage is crowded with music legends giving their soul to the songs. I did not know who he was. Thank you for sharing his name, now I'm aware of his contribution to music.
Wes8761 Really? That’s interesting. Did Ray Cooper play with the Beatles? He’s quite a legend in his own right. Played in the Elton John band for a long time and with lots of other great musicians.
You ,just did not stumbled upon this video !!
This is a Harrison song that has relatively few lyrics and guitar chords but at the same time the soulful penetration into our souls is immeasurable 🙏🏻
OMG never seen this video before. Sitting here watching it and sobbing for George, John and my youth. Where did the years go 😢 and how lucky are we that these four guys combined to produce music like this. Beatles forever ❤

Estoy completamente seguro
ive probably watched this like 50 times in the past week. you can't match Billy Preston's feel for music. i loved watching his energy in Get Back so cool
No kidding I can't believe the judge somehow think this sounded like he's so fine and Harrison lost the rights to this but amazing the way this was done with Billy Preston and the rest of them priceless tc staysafe
Me too. Love it!!!
Agreed
Miss you Billy - RIP.
No one could have sung this better for George's tribute.
Everyone in this video truly rocks.
The 1984 Original crews are irreprescable no one can beat or replace it. The greatest British supergroups ever assembled👏👏👏
Can't get over this live version. Billy just elevated the song to a whole new level, like that was even possible??
EXACTLY!!!!!!!!! MY BUTTERFIIES HAVE BUTTERFLIES AND SO ON AND SO ON..
He's got the confidence and voice of a preacher
Simply perfect
I have listened to this song so many times in the last 2 days and it's not enough. Absolutely phenomenal
Let's not get over excited
Billy Preston did a version
As far as I'm concerned the best was George on his own
Just watching their performances I could always tell that George Harrison loved Billy Preston clear back to that last Beatles performance on the rooftop in 1969. I think that Billy Preston brought the gift of peace to George -- Hare Krishna. Happy Birthday.

You have to have faith to sing this song and do it the justice it so richly deserves.
This song, this performance is so spiritual and powerful, words cannot describe this performance except historical! Everyone, Billy Preston, Clapton, Harrison, McCarthy. Ringo Starr, all of them, the back up singers, the bloody cameraman, this was all around perfect!
Not to mention Gary Brooker!

@@Andythrax his singing enthusiasm inspires me !! , RIGHT TO MY SOUL. 67 yr old retired Police Officer here. Seen mORE THAN THREE LIFETIMES OF MANS VIOLENCE ,hate ,murder lack of civility ,ALL in my 33 yrs of service . LORD HAS BLESSED ME TO LIVE IN PEACE HAVING MET AND married to a Beautiful Irish Lass from Ireland whom I met on the job. ALSO IN BLUE working in Patrol on THE STREETS TO PROTECT THE DOWNTRODDEN . She is 10 years younger than me and the most loving ,caring person my sole is attracted to. I am nothing without her. Not to mention her hot body and passionate ways as a women. Coveted by many male associates and asked why Him, take me many have said. HER RESPONSE. “ My Sweet Lord” ! I don’t fully understand her statement, but her continued love she gives me, MAKES ME WEEP FOR JOY…❤️
At least you can purchase the entire concert for George on a DVD box set. It has some incredible performances.
After two years in the jungle in Vietnam it was great to hear something positive.😊
My father died in Vietnam. Never made it back to hear anything positive.
However, good for you!
Thank You for your Service. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🙏❤️
