  • George Harrison watching a performance of The Beatles 'This Boy' credited Lennon/McCartney (released as a B-Side to the 'I Want To Hold Your Hand' single, released on 29 November 1963).
    I do not own this video in any way. All credit goes to the 'Living in the Material World' DVD.

      In the unedited version of this video, George laughs at the point where Paul's eyes are darting around and then he looks at the camera. He was laughing at Paul looking around for the camera. Someone edited it and made it rewind back from Paul to George and then George laughs at himself. No idea why someone would edit it.

    You can't fool us George; you're as amazed at how wonderful The Beatles are as we were then, especially with a song like this. They were a revelation, they changed the world and made it a much, much better place. They were a huge, once in a lifetime positive influence and an incredibly joyful and deeply emotional touchstone to those of us who were lucky to have grown up with them. There will never be anything like it again.

      the expression "they changed the world" started when men (mostly youth) started wearing their hair long again after nearly 50 years of getting military style haircuts after WW1 because of the beatles. that's true, although it was other music groups that took it to extremes (length wise) but other than and the way they're stylists dressed them I've never understood what people meant when they say "they changed the world" really? how so? I'd like to know cus I lived thru that period and I've never heard anyone explain what that meant. Can you?

      @@spactick How they changed the world? Through their incredible music catalog. They moved millions of people with their music. Since you lived through it, you "may" have heard of Beatlemania. You're obviously not a fan, so maybe you ignored it. Try watching some documentaries. Get caught up. They absorbed everything from Elvis, Buddy Holly, Little Richard, and Chuck Berry etc. in the 50's, and took it to the next level. Rock and roll evolution. Pretty much any famous rock artist from the 60's, 70's, 80's, and 90's will say The Beatles were a huge influence on them.

      Bob McClay (who was a disc jockey at radio station KYA) drove John from the airport to the stadium. No lie,
      the concert was delayed because the limo they were in couldn't get into the stadium because of traffic. So I
      guess you could say I liked them, but I wasn't some nut case idiot that went out of my mind when they preformed. I liked their music, but I also liked The Beach Boys, Lee Morgan (jazz musician), Bill Evans (jazz
      pianist) etc; so about Beatlemania? personally I thought it was embarrassing. I mean come on they're Brits
      playing our music and we're going nuts? disgraceful, seriously. As to influence? no question when it comes
      to what you were looking at (hair, clothing etc;) they broke the ground, cracked the egg, opened the door to
      a whole new visual (and creative) experience while you were watching your entertainers. So I ask you again

      George wasn't very keen on being a Beatle, he didn't like the huge amount of attention and craziness of the fans, the whole Beatlemania thing was hard for him.
      That doesn't mean he disliked being a Beatle, but according to him he was relieved when he could finally do his own things, publish his own songs and not standing inbetween Paul and John.
      He was really happy in this stage. Making his own music, spending his time tending his garden, devoting himself more to his beliefs.

      Years ago, Brian Wilson (Beach Boys) was asked about why John was such an effective vocalist, and he replied "pain...there's pain in his voice". Given Wilson's own tough childhood, and Lennon's, I could see a kindredness there . Some of our best singers and songwriters carried a lot of pain, which helped them achieve higher levels of artistry.

      So...someone else sees what I see. Good on ya'. (I think George missed the "Fabs"
      being together as a creative band...so much so that he formed up the "Wilburys" to
      compensate, knowing w/John's murder that there could never be a reunion. I forget
      who he said it to, watching another band on-stage from the sidelines..."It's good to be in a band"....how much he must have missed the other "3", watching another band!)

    George's love for his Beatles days was sometimes muted, but it really comes through in this clip. I live up the street from Strawberry Fields in Central Park and sing and play there for every Beatles birthday. George, unfortunately, was born on February 25th, which is often very cold, so I'm often there with only one or two others. November 29 is the date he died, though, and this also is not well-attended. December 8, the date John died, always sees SBF packed with singers and musicians.
    If you love George and the Beatles and are in NYC on February 25 or November 29, please come sing with us. If you play, bring a guitar.

    This Boy - the song brings back so many memories for me back in 1964 when I was 7 years old and I played that Meet the Beatles album over and over. But hearing it again now brings back how they were really at the top of what they had been trying to do - make big hits, be famous, etc. - and I think George might have remembered it that way too. No one can really know what it was like being them at that point in their lives - in our lives - no one but the four of them. It's great seeing all these memories preserved. I'll say one thing, it's hard to really see anyone else on the pop music at that time that was on their level - even then. And of course, they'd go much higher, creatively. The song This Boy still captures that innocence. Most of what they did was up tempo then, but this song showed there was much more to them.

But as great as that one is, my co-favorite is George's lead on the fantastic, "I'm Happy Just To Dance With You." Such an upper, fun, exciting, and at the end, a love song too! "This Boy" has their best harmony, with "If I Fell" a very close 2nd to This Boy." TB is more of a wistful, and sadder song compared to "She Loves You" or IHJTDWY, taking TB down just a notch.

    I tear up watching George watching himself. I miss John and George. I also love the song.
    I developed my singing voice because of the music in our house as a kid and it was 90% beatles.

    At every stage of their band the Beatles made incredible music. From "She loves you" right up to their live performance on the roof of Apple studios. Each album represented a new style , new ideas, etc. There will never be another band as great as the Beatles. Their solo careers were special too. Harrison was genius at arrangements and was incredibly talented as they all were. " That Boy" is one of my favorite early Beatles tune.

    You can tell George was really having a great time watching this and remembering what fun he had when performing This Boy. The Beatles brought so much joy to everyone, including themselves.

      One time, I lost a guy friend and I was so unbelievably sad and tearful. And George came to me and asked if I was ok. And I said in the most sweetest voice, "Yes, I'll be ok, don't worry, George" at the same time, trying not to cry. And George said very sympathetically, "Oh....." And he just came over and gave me a big hug. And I just buried my face in his soft sweater and hugged him back. He's the sweetest thing ever.
