Should we finally finish up this album? Maybe I will start working through it every week till we're done. It's been a whole year since I started it! Lol... What are your favorite tracks from this album?
My faves from ATMP are 'Wah Wah', 'Beware of Darkness', 'What Is Life' and 'A-waiting On You All', closely followed by the rest of the tracks. Brilliant record ×3. Or 2, depending on your preferences, some don't dig the jams. 🤷🏽♂️🤔 ✌🏼😎🎶❤️🍁❤️✨️🕊
I loved this triple album, I couldn’t afford it but my best friend had it and we played it constantly in her bedroom with purple walls. We must have driven her elderly parents mad as we blasted in . All in 1971 x thanks for reacting to this 🏴🏴🏴
Oh man that jam was WONDERFUL. there’s nothing quite so rewarding , for listener and musicians both, than players with top skills just jamming out. I’m reminded of the Ringo Starr, Joe Walsh, and studio players ( Sklar, Wachtel and Kunkel) jamming on Funk 49. If you haven’t heard that, check it out on UA-cam. They’re just grinning away.
Art of Dying is an awesome psychedelic hard rocker that features impressive guitar work by George and especially Eric. Loved it since I was kid (thanks Sis!). Great track.
Great reactions, Lee! You will also love "The Art of Dying"" - a scorching rocker with another deep message from George. It's a hard rocker from start to finish that is awash with the Wall of Sound! Brilliant song! "Apple Scruffs" is a great little love song from George to the Beatles fans (mostly girls) that used to hang outside of Apple Corps every day to see the Beatles coming and going. The band got quite close with these hardcore fans in the late 1960s, and even hired some to work for the Beatles. From the Apple Jam disc from All Things Must Pass, check out "Thanks for the Pepperoni" a great rocking jam with Harrison trading solos and licks with Clapton and Dave Mason and also features Carl Radle, Bobby Whitlock and Jim Gordon. IMHO, it's the best song on the Apple Jam disc. "I Live for You," recorded for ATMP, but not released until the 2001 reissue is absolute gem. Not sure why it was left off the original! Love your videos, dude!
I love Beatle George. I like to hear all that he has done solo. I don’t know all his works. For all these years I never knew If Not For You was a Dylan cover. The long jam was nice to hear knowing George was playing with his friends. I prefer honey more than sugar in my espresso.
This is my favorite post Beatles album. It has 3 discs, which only adds to the idea that All Things Must Pass is the one post Beatle album to take to an island if you could take only one.
The Apple Jam third LP is comprised of jams among the musicians. I like it but none of it really goes anywhere like in a song. So I'm not surprised its never a choice for a reaction video. L33Reacts continuously breaking molds.
During an interview with Guitar World, Zakk Wylde, (Ozzy Osbourne, Pantera etc) reflected on the brilliance of the seminal ‘Something’ track on 1969’s acclaimed Abbey Road. “What an amazing song,” he said of one of the most delightful love tracks to grace The Beatles catalogue. “He even got Sinatra and Elvis covering that one, which goes to show how amazing it is,” Wylde added. Wylde continued: “Me and John DeServio, who plays bass with me, often talk about George [Harrison] - whenever he solos, you always know it’s him. Even when he was playing in The Traveling Wilburys, you could always tell.”
This album is so good. Love all the songs and the jam sessions. RIP, George, thanks for the memories. And yes, L33, finish it please. Blessings all. Pour some sugar on me.
L33 , it was so mellow back in the day , not always but when trouble started we just got immersed in the great music , wish you were there my R and R Brother !!
There is a great video of an interview with Frampton where he talks about how he first found about about the talk box that he ended up famously using later on. He talks about being at some of the 'All Things Must Pass' sessions. Pete Drake was there too, he was a renowned pedal steel player, any time you hear that on this album it's him (not to be confused with George playing 'regular' slide guitar). Pete Drake invented the talk box, he had used it on radio ads in the 60's. He showed the talk box to Frampton, who decided he had to have one. Great interview, they interview Drake as well and he talks about his early usage of it.
During the "Out of the Blue" jam, I kept hearing: The Faces's "I'm Losing You" released in 1971, months after "All Things Must Pass" I think it was a grove if you will.
He didn't complete the album before dying, it was completed by Dhani and Jeff after George passing. Luckily Geo had left plenty of notes for the others to follow in order to finish it as he envisioned it
Yes it was the third "Apple Jam" disc. The best thing about this disc (besides "It's Johnny's Birthday" he wrote for John) was the label on the record. Gone was an Apple and replacing it was a jam jar with "Apple Jam" printed on the lid. The Beatles were always clever with their visual presentations. Very clever and professional job in the commercial art dept.
Personally, I think out of the blue is an absolute masterpiece. I’m no music critic but it’s undoubtedly one of the most badass pieces of music I’ve ever heard.
Hi there. Klaus Worman(?) On bass, Was a friend artist from the Hamburg period. He was responsible for the art work of the Revolver cover LP from the Beatles 😊. ✌️peace
This album is my favorite “Beatles” album by either the band or any of the solo members. Followed in second place by the White Album with the bronze medal going to Abbey Road.
Hi L33 - Absolutely no compaints with more George. Love George's version of "If Not For You," The Dylan version is good too. I love all the little components that go in to making up this song... Everything adds a texture and can be heard it's not muddy at all which is the danger when you have so much going on at the same time. As for "Out Of The Blue".... yup that was on disc 3. And they are all Jams.... Including :"It's Johnny's Birthday".. A song stangley enough for John's birthday. Which George gave John a copy of before the album came out. This was the first Triple album I ever bought. And remains the best. At the time it was considered expensive and the record company wondered if it would be bought in large numbers.. Bur I think we all know how that worry went... For goodness sake, it was GEORGE HARRISON....!!! And we all needed Beatles recordings. I just love that in the first few years after the break up George and Ringo were more successful than John and Paul... Hard to believe and get your head around at this point in time but it's true. As for the Phil Spector production.... well, as Phil usually does, he got the tapes and then did nothing with them for a long time, so George had to get them back and do a lot of production himself. So this was REALLY a George project.
a strange coincidence - Today in the morning I received this album by mail. Actually I already have one, this time it was a box with three red vinyl records ( a kind of fetish, I guess, especially taking into account I listen such music no longer ) I would recommend the channel watchers something newer - ua-cam.com/video/jlMr7FxqYIM/v-deo.html
Out of the Blue is the opener or closer for disc 3 depending on the album: the 1970 release has it as the first track and the 2001 reissue has it as the closing track, apparently as George originally intended. Neither issue, however, includes any sugar sprinkled on top of the Apple Jam.
George intended 'Out Of The Blue' to be the last track and climax of the triple album but for some reason or mess up which I forget it became track 1 of side 5. Definitely works better as last track. The third disc Apple Jam is part of the album as far as I'm concerned...brilliant stuff. George must be the best Dylan interpreter. 'I Threw It All Away' and 'Mama You Been On My Mind' are 2 more. 'Here Comes The Sun' reminded me of 'My Sweet Lord' on the radio today so there was crossover with his Beatles and non-Beatles sound. Scorsese likened listening to ATMP to walking into a cathedral. He directed the George documentary. Sugar on top song for me is 'Life Itself' from Somewhere In England LP...sublime.
Besides Paul being on the Butcher Cover and the Abbey Road cover, there is a photo high on the wall behind the Butcher Cover, that I can't make out clearly, so maybe that's Paul as well. Yes, it is Paul, he's in a Tee and has his hands behind his head. He's also sporting a beard. I had to use a magnifying glass.
👍 Good ear! I’ve heard this lots before. I never really noticed that! Very similar for that small part. I wonder if it’s just a coincidence or who nicked who? Harrison‘s album came out in November of 1970. And Sticky Fingers came out in April 1971. So it looks like the Stones might’ve “borrowed” from it. And this is coming from a diehard Stones fan as you can tell by my handle. Or maybe it’s just a coincidence. Hard to say when each individual track was recorded. I suppose that could be researched but I’m too lazy! 😆
They co-wrote 'I'd Have You Anytime.' But 'If Not For You' was Dylan's. The same year he was making All Things Must Pass, George dropped by when Dylan was recording New Morning and plays on several takes of songs and jams that didn't make the Dylan record. One of these was 'If Not For You' (released on the first Bootleg series set). In 1968, they co-wrote 'I'd Have You Anytime' and 'Nowhere to Go.'
@@ericvincentcarbone3471George's cover on ATMP most definitely sounds like a Harrison song because he's given it his own gorgeous arrangement. Listen to the alternate Bob version on the Another Self Portrait (Bootleg Series) collection with just violin, bass, and Dylan on piano. That sounds exactly like a Bob Dylan song in his soulful Nashville Skyline/New Morning/Self Portrait phase 👍
@@hwinker i think i've heard. if you wanna hear something special look up Eddie Vedder's rendition of Masters of war. Absolutely brilliant. or Rage against the Machine doing Bruce Springsteens The ghost of Ton Joad. wow. Also amazing.
It's weird to me, but the "jams" disk got some criticism as "filler". But how in the hell could you assemble that group of musicians and NOT record their jams?? Right? Jim Gordon was outstanding here...I don't know if he was considered a part of the "Wrecking Crew", but he was definitely on the A-list of studio musicians in LA. He is so creative here because he could play any genre of music. He recorded with everybody!
I've never loved the sound on this album. Wa-Wa is too muddy& too noisy for my ears. Unlike Apple Scruffs. Much better mix. But overall I was so proud riding five miles on my bike to the mall and buying this album. I took it home and soon Harrison was my fave Beatle. 3 albums in 1, plus a cool cover. It was a lot of money for a kid on a bike!
I can't stand the Jam session. I'd rather listen to free form jazz and that's saying something. The rest of the album is great but it should have been a double album. Throw sides 5 and 6 in the bin.
Should we finally finish up this album? Maybe I will start working through it every week till we're done. It's been a whole year since I started it! Lol... What are your favorite tracks from this album?
The title track, Isn’t It A Pity, Wah Wah, Behind That Locked Door, What Is Life….. That album is literally 1 great song after another.
Yes please, finish the album :)
My faves from ATMP are 'Wah Wah', 'Beware of Darkness', 'What Is Life' and 'A-waiting On You All', closely followed by the rest of the tracks. Brilliant record ×3. Or 2, depending on your preferences, some don't dig the jams. 🤷🏽♂️🤔
✌🏼😎🎶❤️🍁❤️✨️🕊
Oh, btw, sugar. Finding it harder to do of late. 🤷🏽♂️
Yes!! "Wah wah" is my numero uno 😅
This was George’s breakout album, so the answer is yes to finishing it.
10-4 I’m definitely gonna finish it
That jam has a real TRAFFIC vibe too
That jam was the bomb.
That jam was sweet as sugar
Jim Gordon's work on Out Of The Blue is plain incredible, the smoothness with which he goes from a pattern to another is masterful
Next reaction: Never Without You is a song by Ringo Starr, in memory of George Harrison. ❤😢
Righteous
I loved this triple album, I couldn’t afford it but my best friend had it and we played it constantly in her bedroom with purple walls. We must have driven her elderly parents mad as we blasted in . All in 1971 x thanks for reacting to this 🏴🏴🏴
Love this Dylan Cover. IN fact it's one of my favorites on the whole album.
That jam created its own wall of sound.
George was on fire for this whole LP ❤
Speaking of which, John Lennon's song "Out the Blue" (from MInd Games album, 1973) is truly gorgeous!
Out The Blue
Thanks for this blast from the past.
Cool songs... So different.. One syrupy sweet and the other a sugary jam! ☮❤🎶
Oh man that jam was WONDERFUL. there’s nothing quite so rewarding , for listener and musicians both, than players with top skills just jamming out.
I’m reminded of the Ringo Starr, Joe Walsh, and studio players ( Sklar, Wachtel and Kunkel) jamming on Funk 49. If you haven’t heard that, check it out on UA-cam. They’re just grinning away.
Or the All Star Band jamming on the Band's Last Waltz concert

🌸 I've always always loved this album cover

Olivia Newton John's version of "If Not For You" is my favorite ONJ song by far and the first song I ever heard from her. Have a good one L33.
I Remember Jeep is a nice jam also

No Sugar Tonight

Thanks for doing one of the sugar jam tracks. No one ever does them.
Look forward to this.
You need to hear "Brainwashed", the album he completed just before he died. It's a beautiful farewell and a great album.
He didn't complete the album before dying, it was completed by Dhani and Jeff after George passing.
Luckily Geo had left plenty of notes for the others to follow in order to finish it as he envisioned it
Great tracks
Sugar 😁✌️❤️
Great jam. Love it.
Man, love that jam! Novel George for me.
I can listen to any track on disc 3 of ATMP like "Out of Blue" all dang day long. And then play it all over again.
Apple Jam, filled with sugar
I see Paul on the Abbey Road LP cover behind you.
I love George's creativity.
Oh, and sugar.
Yes it was the third "Apple Jam" disc. The best thing about this disc (besides "It's Johnny's Birthday" he wrote for John) was the label on the record. Gone was an Apple and replacing it was a jam jar with "Apple Jam" printed on the lid. The Beatles were always clever with their visual presentations. Very clever and professional job in the commercial art dept.
Now that I think about it , the quality of the music sped up the healing processes !!
Sugaaarrr
I'm getting tears in my sugar 😢
Sue me Sue you Blues, is a great track from this album
Sorry its on Material World
Personally, I think out of the blue is an absolute masterpiece. I’m no music critic but it’s undoubtedly one of the most badass pieces of music I’ve ever heard.
Dylan really had a connection with Harrison.
George has Derek and the Dominos plus others for Out of the Blue. This album features the best of the best playing with George.
love George!
George never disappoints ❤
Oh, to be in the studio for this last one...
My Sweet Lord (studio version from this album) is arguably the best post-Beatles single, along with Maybe I'm Amazed and Imagine.
The opening track I'd Have You Anytime is one of the best opening songs to an album. Co-written with Dylan.
What is life? It is hard to think about them without Olivia Newton-John. She covered many, many songs.
Hi there. Klaus Worman(?) On bass, Was a friend artist from the Hamburg period. He was responsible for the art work of the Revolver cover LP from the Beatles 😊. ✌️peace
Keep up the music swagger and sway , it’s kick n !!
👏🏼
Beware of Darkness is the best song on this album and Behind Closed Doors is great too.
2 of my least favourite. Taste is a funny thing. I like 'Hear Me Lord'
This album is my favorite “Beatles” album by either the band or any of the solo members. Followed in second place by the White Album with the bronze medal going to Abbey Road.
Harrison and Dylan co wrote If Not For You.

While we are on the subject of George how about more Travelling Wilburys please Lee .
I've got the simple anniversary cd box, but brainwashed is a very good record I don't hear much about.

Sugar in your coffee - Three Dog Night " momma told me not to come"
Apple Scruffs !!
Olivia Newton John had a hit with her cover of ‘If Not For You’.
Now that the Living in a Material World album is on it's 50th anniversary, you should to react to some songs because the remixes aré amazing!!
No one ever gives the third disk a chance. Let alone a whole video for a song from it. Trailblazing stuff.
Sugar oh honey, honey!😆

He's on the Abby rd cover.
During this time George was hanging with Bob Dylan, Leon Russell, and of course Eric Clapton.
Olivia Newton John does a great version of If Not For You as well.
Paul is up by the butcher cover, over the door
Oliva Newton John did a great cover of If not for you.
Didn't George co- write If not for you? I believe he did. Thanks pal.

Have to admit I was never a fan of these kinds of jam sessions. I never listen to the 3rd disc of this album.
To clarify...I have the album from when it first came out...3 vinyl records in a boxed set. The 3rd record is all the jams.
Sorry. The jams are boring after a listen. "If Not For You" is a nice Dylan cover.
I can't stand the Jam session. I'd rather listen to free form jazz and that's saying something. The rest of the album is great but it should have been a double album. Throw sides 5 and 6 in the bin.
