You guys knows about the "Conspiracy theory" about "Paul is dead and Billy Shears took his place"? In the end of the concert Olivia Harrison says "Thanks Billy!" and shakes Pauls hand. In a book released by Paul McCartneys own publish company is called "Memoires of Billy Shears" and the book was released in volume 1 in 2008 and its full of copy right material so either Paul has gone insane or the "Conspiracy theorists ´" is on to something?
A man who lost his son, playing his quitar and weeping inside for the loss of his friend... playing next to a son who lost his father and paying homage for the whole world to see.. Beautiful! Starting my 2020 with all these Greats!
It's true! I think the same thing, it looks like a lament for the farewell to an old and dear friend! His guitar speaks, sings ... and sometimes cries! it's a GOD!
Clapton called that sound "the woman tone" -- because he felt that dialing the bass all the way up and turning the treble settings all the way down on the guitar, he made the guitar sound somewhat like a woman's singing timbre.😮
Me too. He looks just like his dad and you can see he's trying his best to keep up with the old dogs who could play this song in their sleep. It its a masterpiece!
A wonderful and heavenly performance! Eric is playing heart and soul ! And he’s calm and terrific at the same time! What a blesson for us during this Covid-19 darkness! Thank God: we have hope ! God is Alive !
One of the most beautiful songs ever written. Clapton's guitar unbelievably actually seems to be weeping. An absolute genius performing another genius' song. Fantastic.
Eric Clapton, Jeff Lynne, Paul McCartney, Tom Petty, Billy Preston, Ringo Starr, and all the others did a really superb job singing and playing George Harrison's songs in this concert. They are really great, beautiful renditions of George's glorious songs.
Say what you will..that era of music will never be duplicated. These Legends stand as a testament to its timeless endurance. I am so grateful to have been a witness to the sounds that defined my generation.
@@martm216 Yep Eric Clapton was a Beatle ... for two songs. He also did backing vocals on "All you need is love". Mind you if you google guest musician that played with the Beatles you literally get hundreds of results. These include Billy Preston, Mick Jagger, Donovan, Keith Richards, Keith Moon, Brian Jones, Maryanne Faithful as well as various backing singers and other instrumentalists.
@@martm216 : He wasn't a Beatle, of course, but he was the one who recorded the solo for the original song, back in 1968 (the Beatles asked him). So, when you listen the double White Album of the Beatles, when comes the solo of this song, you're listening to God.
George Harrison once referred to Eric Clapton (when he stole and married Patti Boyd from Harrison) his Husband-In-Law. That was George Harrison's way of forgiving and moving forward with life. RIP George Harrison (my favorite Beatle).
@@ces69 When I saw the video of Prince doing it I was in awe and I hadn't seen this yet. After seeing Clapton doing it live I am going with Clapton so much more feeling in his playing. Don't get me wrong Prince is a force to be reckoned with it's just that he knocked it out of the park threw his guitar in the air and walked off stage.
@@tomg1837 I’m not surprised at the “feeling” in Clapton’s playing, he’s a Blues man and that’s his thing! He also played the original guitar solo on the Beatles track way back in 1968! But Prince’s solo for me was on another level and displayed technique and talent both in equal measure!
@@tomg1837 I really like both versions. Clapton's version is more in tune with the song itself. I want to actually listen to the song this is the version I want to hear. Prince version is a dynamic solo played within the song. His solo shines not the song itself. I can't say one is better than the other but more of who's flavor do you prefer. This coming from a huge Prince fan.
This song is just as much a Clapton song, as much as he'd disagree, him playing lead on the original recording really makes it stand out... at least to me.
@Zip Zipperhead Are you referring to Clapton becoming infatuated with, and writing songs that confessed his love for, Pattie Boyd Harrison - George's wife? If so, then George also had "inexcusable behavior" when he confessed his love for, and had an affair with, Maureen Starkey - Ringo's wife - while George/Pattie and Ringo/Maureen were still married. You reap what you sow. Ringo forgave George. George forgave Eric.
I can't imagine how surreal this was for Paul McCartney. Dhani Harrison was 10 years older at this show than his dad was when his dad joined the Beatles.
M ike, I think Paul can handle this and he might have "heard" about Dhabi before.... There is nothing surreal about sons looking like their fathers. Even Paul might have seen this before... ;-)))
Absolutely! This song came out when I was 8, but I didn't hear it until I was a little older. Our neighbor had a bunch of Beatles records, and invited our family over to listen to Abbey Road. I loved it. He told me that any time I wanted to come listen to more, I could. I took him up on that. He played this song for me, among many others, and I was hooked.
@@eoghantoner Well, he's British, to be expected, but the BIGLEY Racist is our president, I think he has Hitler's DNA, and can't play guitar nor take responsibility for anything, he lives for glorification 👎👺
Well, Clapton was on the original recording. Prince's version was amazing though. I wish Clapton were in the version with Prince. That would have been incredible.
Give my channel a boost. Visit it! I covered this song and any others. Hope you enjoy it! Dê uma força no meu canal. Visitem-lá! Fiz um cover dessa música e de diversas outras. Espero que goste!
It's worth noting however, Marc Mann carried most of the backing solo parts on behalf of Eric so that EC could focus on the lead vocal. Of course, out of deference to EC, Marc went into arpeggio mode during EC's main solo, but it was Marc Mann who was actually doing most of the backing solo work through the length of the concert. Excellent teamwork all round.
@@coro3975 yep, i fell in love with the tune the first time i listened to it. Later i discovered the guitar solo is played by this god and not a beattle
I love how guys like Eric Clapton survive addiction and personal tragedy to wind up looking like an average Dad you'd meet at Bunnings. Gives me faith in humanity.
@@Rashnak66Hard to argue but, Jimmy Page around 1973 reached an untouched magic level never topped by any Rock guitarist even influencing EVH's famous finger tap. 🎸☮️💕
@@SuperAllanjames Well as you know George persuaded Eric to come in and do some overdubs at Abbey Road on WMGGW and those totally changed the tone of the track to a much more rock feel. According to Mark Lewisohn's book Eric's commanding solo lines inspired the other Beatles to "try a bit harder" on George's song and the results speak for themselves. Soon after George reciprocated by co-writing Badge with Eric.
Hi sir! Could you please educate me how many songs did HARRISON write on his own while in The Beatles and afterwards. I am from Russia.. and i lack the information. Thanks..
@@stevemorse1208 The Beatles recorded 22 songs solely credited to George and 3 more he co-wrote, including the amazing SheSaidSheSaid. After the Beatles George recorded hundreds of his own songs. I hope that helps.
If John and George were there, that concert hall roof would be blown off entirely! Folks, these are absolute legends of the game, musical magic at its very best!
0:02 Jim Keltner (back) 0:06 Dhani Harrison 0:11 Andy Fairweather Low 0:16 Eric Clapton 0:27 Paul McCartney 0:30 Chris Stainton 0:41 Albert Lee (middle), Dave Bronze (L) 0:47 Marc Mann & Dave Bronze (right) 2:10 Ringo Starr 3:11 (in order of appearance) Jim Capaldi, Emil Richards, Ray Cooper 4:03 Jeff Lynne (L) 4:49 Henry Spinetti (L) 5:27 Gary Brooker (bottom left), Billy Preston (bottom right)
Thanks so much for this comment!! I could not remember Albert Lee’s name to save my life and i had always wondered who played lead guitar on all these tribute songs for George. Marc Mann is a great guitarist!
@@jkkay477 Close to original but with a little added. Prince was too showy and i felt like he was grandizing himself instead of George. Just my opinion though :)
Jeff Lynne, Prince, Tom Petty, Steve Winwood and Dhani Harrison version was not close, but by far better. Jeff Lynne is the mastermind behind that sound and also a close friend of Harrison, Prince´s solo was on an other level. (BTW I always found Clapton a bit overrated, he´s good, but not close to the best out there)
I love how Eric is singing one of the best and most popular song in the world with some of the best music artist in the world including Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr *WHILE LOOKING LIKE AN AVERAGE GUY YOU WOULD SEE AT YOUR GAS STATION*
Not sure if you are aware of this, but he played guitar on the studio version. George showed the song to the band, they ignored it. He showed it to Clapton, who loved it. He brought Clapton into the studio and they worked on it there and largely recorded it, with Clapton doing a large part of the guitar. Band loved it, they put it on vinyl with some final touches. THAT is why he gets to lead on this. It's half his.
@@davedzone Very true. I would only add, that I also really like George's acoustic version, without Clapton and with an added verse. It's on the Anthology disc, 3. It's a much different song than the White Album. Stll, a great song with a nice Harrison vocal. Less 'rockier', more melancholic, perhaps. But, highly recommended. Imho.
Yes lad well said. Scouser here. Grew up round the corner from where the Beatles are from. So proud. The best that ever did it. Just mates from the south end. Love it
When you listen to a song that you have heard a thousand times, played by a guitarist heard a thousand times, accompanied by sacred monsters heard a thousand times .... but you still shiver. Immense, unattainable musicians.
This was nice; however, the 2004 version with Tom Petty, Jeff Lynn, Steve Winwood, D. Harrison, along with Prince and Marc Mann on solos, was off the charts.
It's a terrible recording. I'd like to hear what the percussionists are playing but they're drowned out by three drummers. (All playing the exact same thing).
Listening to this on George's 81st birthday. This performance is still just stunning. Once again McCartney reminds us that he created that opening piano riff and keeps it going throughout. All the musicians here are just bringing it.
Awesome! I grew up on my dads taste in music and albeit it was diverse a few artists/groups has stuck with me my entire life (I'm now nearly 30). The Beatles, Stevie Wonder, Miles Davis and Bill Evans. I still listen to all of them almost everyday. In other words, this song may still put your son to sleep in a couple of decades. Music is amazing.
I loved hearing this in 1969 in college at age 18. Now at 72, I still love hearing it. When I was 15 , my 3 buddies and I entered a "Beatle Contest". I played George Harrison. The Beatles have been there all my adult life and have given me so many hours of enjoyment. They still do today!!!!
I actually envey you. You guys who experienced the 60's and 70's have seen the best songs created infront of you. You guys enjoyed it and celebrated it. Folks who came after you just heard it. You have the seen the best decades of music. Lucky you.
The Beatles and Eric Clapton recorded this song on the day I was born!!! I’ve been a Beatles fan my whole life and George was always my favorite, but I only found out that this song was recorded the day I was born about four months ago! I’m still overwhelmed to learn this! Is it any wonder what a fan I am?!! 😊❤ This whole concert is amazing! I don’t know how they held it together so well! I cry every time I watch it! Everyone on that stage really loved George!
Is it that the truth. I'd like to start all over now. To my heart to make decisions, I've made a couple bad ones. I've forever pay for those mistakes. I still have to trust in your heart if I didn't there would have been more mistakes. God bless you all.
The Clapton solos were absolutely amazing!!!! It really looked like he was talking to his very good friend with his guitar telling him how much he loves and misses him - maybe apologizing for chasing after his wife also!
George was and is my favorite of all of the fab 4. His songs touch different emotions for me than the others. He was the sweet soul of the Beatles. Eric plays and sings beautifully on this magnificent tribute to his friend. George's son playing with all those assembled is emotional beyond words that can be expressed. The all star talent level of all those performing on this version is amazing. RIP George
That's why them dudes is who they are and we aren't. I'm just as impressed with how perfectly Paul and Eric hit the high notes with precision and on time and not a fraction of a note off. That's every bit as splendid, especially 40-some years after the song was released. Nobody's in their 20s anymore, so the purity of their singing voices to me is equally mind-blowing.
@@talkswithvigy7860 Oh of course! And I've seen a few of the others. They're all excellent but don't all have the crispness of this performance. That alone is hard to do when you've performed this so many times you're doing it in your sleep. You'd think that after the gazillionth time playing this that boredom would set in or it comes in at something less than 100%. Not here, they nailed it.
Corey G the thing is that george was being less happier with his 1st wife, but he wanted the best for her, even if she was unfertile, the best was clapton's love, he knew it was right bc he was his friend, and so he married olivia the mother of dhani
George Harrison never heard a more beautifully performed version of this song. That his son was wrapped up in it, that it was done by talented friends who loved him and shared with the world made it perfect. I can think of no finer legacy. Well done! Thank you. Texas
The percussionist is Ray Cooper, can often be spotted in the band line up for Elton John, brilliant character, brilliant percussionist...makes me smile too, always seems to be having the time of his life when playing....unique!
I feel bad for anyone who gets hung up on that sort of thing. What matters in music is how it makes people feel and how it sounds, which is why Clapton is top tier ever!
actually.. like none of the drummers are synchronized haha. Sure they play the same backbeat from time to time, but almost all of them are just playing randomly and are doing drum fills all over the place haha, like in 1:19 or 5:05. Love how Ringo is just playing like he's always been playing. But the mix out is very different, they only seem to be using one or two drum mixes, and tiny bit of percussion some times, tho everyone is mic'd up. But if you were to mix all of those instruments together it would be kaos haha, hope they had good monitoring on stage and could cancel out some of those drums, Erik didn't even had any in ears. Final mix sounds real good tho!
I don't know if anyone noticed, but Ringo Starr, Paul McCartney, Jeff Lynne, and Billy Preston are all staring at Eric Clapton in complete awe and admiration as he plays the outro. They're like "OMG that is amazing" and then Dhani goes over to him showing complete gratitude. I don't know what spirit took over Clapton, but that was an amazing performance.
This has to be the greatest version of this song, ever. The whole band is playing as one and yet I swear I can hear each instrument. They blend so well. The brass in the rhythm sounds amazing.
Are you one of the 18M viewers of this version: ua-cam.com/video/oDs2Bkq6UU4/v-deo.html George's vocals there are much more expressive. And I love when he and Eric go toe-to-toe at 3:30. Probably a good thing that Dhani didn't try that.
Forgive me if I am using the wrong term I am in no way a musically educated person. The saxaphones, playing along. Is that not to the rhythm. Please inform me if I am mistaken.
Thank you Jeff…..for making the greatest, easiest listening, and most memorable songs of all time. You are a true musical genius. Touched by angels, and sent to make people happy in this F’d up world of hate and division. Your voice, sound, and writing technique, transports each one of us to our own happy place. Thank you sir!
not that Paul McCartney needed any inspiration to sing in this venue but I think I can read the extra emotion when he looks in Dhani's direction, he sees George in his memory right there
Eric Claption, Paul McCartney, Dhani Harrison, Ringo Starr, Jeff Lynne, Steve Winwood and so many other talented atrists. Prince crushed the final guitar solo. George, this all for you.
George Harrison was always my favorite Beatle from the time I was 9 years old. I admire his wife Olivia and think his son Dhani is a special young man. I think Dhani looks a lot like his father. " While My Guitar Gently Weeps" was a favorite song of mine that George wrote. I was in Junior High the first time I heard it.
me too i must say. another pisces -i was born 24 feb and my mom was from near liverpool. here in the us, the beatles been a large part of our lives since day one.
@@lonelycrona2388 I've seen him. Thought he was boring. If you want to see totally real , raw, talent and performance, you need to check out, the late, great, amazing, brilliance of Rory Gallagher. RIP Rory. Gone but never forgotten. 🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸💖💖💖💖💖💖

So, so many drummers know every one of Ringo's licks and can play his parts verbatim. I've seen this going back to the early '70's. He's revered for his steadiness and style.
@@CJ-ci1ri other way around. It was Clapton the Beatles kept asking to play. John was not known for how well he played the guitar. In fact George was better.
Most guitarists playing “tribute” to George by playing this song just self-indulge with endless guitar solo wanking and shredding and posturing . Thank you, Eric for keeping it classy and weepy! ❤️
Stunned as every outstanding musician when they end their song so immersed in it that reality hits them in the face with a jolt. It's why a sensitive audience holds their applause for the conductor or player to gather their composure. LOVE IT. 🎵❤
The Concert for George was one of the most fantastic tributes in the history of rock. George deserved it.
Looking the zeppelin tributes.
Loved his music ❤
So good.
Poslouchala jsem několik písniček,bylo to nádherné, všichni zpívali moc krásně 💓👍
Huge insult to George that Eric Clapton was there!
To see Paul and Ringo, playing and singing a song of George's...truly special.
Paul haciendo reverencia a George, a pesar de todas las trabas que le puso en el camino.
It’s also cool how there is dhani Harrison there too

Lol true, anyway he's the best guitarist I've ever heard, his riffs are like the thing, better Than Brian may or even jimy hendrix
He genuinely looks like my friends dad though it’s quite scary
This isn’t about his opinions it’s about his guitar playing
@@eoghantoner Well, he's British, to be expected, but the BIGLEY Racist is our president, I think he has Hitler's DNA, and can't play guitar nor take responsibility for anything, he lives for glorification 👎👺
Lynne just looking at Clapton soloing and admiring him and enjoying the moment, love that
Clapton's solo here is astoundingly beautiful. Prince's version in another tribute is just off the charts.
Gary Moore's was the best of them all.
Whilst Prince and Gary Moore blew the lid off it... NOBODY, does it better than Mr Clapton.
His tone is inimitable perfection!
Well, Clapton was on the original recording. Prince's version was amazing though. I wish Clapton were in the version with Prince. That would have been incredible.
@@01270211136 Prince redefined what a solo looks like. He usurped the title "God". Clapton is a mere mortal. Clapton's "feel" seems contrived.
I didn't expect more from the creator of the solo
Eric Clapton's solo is out of this world
Best beatles solo. but it wasn't playead by a beatle
Give my channel a boost. Visit it! I covered this song and any others. Hope you enjoy it!

It's worth noting however, Marc Mann carried most of the backing solo parts on behalf of Eric so that EC could focus on the lead vocal. Of course, out of deference to EC, Marc went into arpeggio mode during EC's main solo, but it was Marc Mann who was actually doing most of the backing solo work through the length of the concert. Excellent teamwork all round.
@@coro3975 yep, i fell in love with the tune the first time i listened to it. Later i discovered the guitar solo is played by this god and not a beattle
@@sbn025 still my favourite Beatles song written by Harrison
I love how guys like Eric Clapton survive addiction and personal tragedy to wind up looking like an average Dad you'd meet at Bunnings. Gives me faith in humanity.
It just shows how great the human liver works.

Never tire of listening to it. George was some songwriter
The amount of rock history on that stage is mind blowing....
so true.
no kidding, not just a guitar weeping at this moment, I'm pitching in as well
I sometimes feel these days Eric has become underrated. He is the original rock guitar hero. The legend of legends. He is incomparable.
agreed! with the depth and breadth of Clapton's work he really is the best to have ever played.
@@Rashnak66Hard to argue but, Jimmy Page around 1973 reached an untouched magic level never topped by any Rock guitarist even influencing EVH's famous finger tap. 🎸☮️💕
Rather under appreciated by a lot of the younger generation definitely not underrated, the man is simply the best.
Agreed at all. He play the every perfectly, and make complicated phrase looks simple.
Absolutely !!
This song is absolutely perfect. It's timeless, it's perfect, it's... beautiful. Like if you agree
It’s amazing and beautiful!
Super satisfying.
I will never get tired of hearing Eric sing George's songs.
I remember rumours at the time, that Eric helped George with the guitar parts. They still sound more Eric than George.
@@SuperAllanjames Well as you know George persuaded Eric to come in and do some overdubs at Abbey Road on WMGGW and those totally changed the tone of the track to a much more rock feel. According to Mark Lewisohn's book Eric's commanding solo lines inspired the other Beatles to "try a bit harder" on George's song and the results speak for themselves. Soon after George reciprocated by co-writing Badge with Eric.
Hi sir! Could you please educate me how many songs did HARRISON write on his own while in The Beatles and afterwards. I am from Russia.. and i lack the information. Thanks..
@@stevemorse1208 The Beatles recorded 22 songs solely credited to George and 3 more he co-wrote, including the amazing SheSaidSheSaid. After the Beatles George recorded hundreds of his own songs. I hope that helps.
@@indigofruit8710 It does. Thanks a lot. I'm gonna study George and sing some of his stuff to entertain my surrounding.
Amazing rendition by Eric Clapton and the entire band along with Paul, Ringo and George’s son Dhani. R.I.P. George & John 🙏🏽✝️
If John and George were there, that concert hall roof would be blown off entirely! Folks, these are absolute legends of the game, musical magic at its very best!

Such an amazingly necessary post. Thank you!
Albert Lee sure gets around ... have seen him in hundreds music vids of various recording artists ...
i’m
Thnx a ton!
Best Beatles song ever! Those lyrics couldn’t be more appropriate in today’s world! What a vision George must have had composing them.
The fact they have an entire melodic orchestra of legends from the music industry just shows how much George Harrison is a legend of rock.
100% right... and paul preforming "something" was so good
I love his "All Things Must Pass" more than any of the Beatles albums.
No, I think it shows just how much other musicians of England help out each other any time they can. Very cool.
It looks like Jeff Lynne is playing too

@@jorgemariocardenas3319 No, no hay comparación posible. La performance se Prince es magnífica, pero la de Eric Clapton, sencillamente, insuperable...
I just love how Ringo is having the the time of his life and the other drummers are trying so hard.
Sort of wished the others weren't there.
@@georgeemil3618 yeah
Pro drummer
Yeah he did..🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
I wouldn't say the other drummers are "trying so hard", especially not Jim Keltner. Ringo's just very laid back in his style.
BEST version EVER. Fantastic. George would Love it ! At 72 yrs old...grew up with George and the Beatles.
Better than the Prince one?
@@jkkay477 Close to original but with a little added. Prince was too showy and i felt like he was grandizing himself instead of George. Just my opinion though :)
Prince's version is the best, not only for him but for the performance all together
Jeff Lynne, Prince, Tom Petty, Steve Winwood and Dhani Harrison version was not close, but by far better.
Jeff Lynne is the mastermind behind that sound and also a close friend of Harrison, Prince´s solo was on an other level.
(BTW I always found Clapton a bit overrated, he´s good, but not close to the best out there)
I love how Eric is singing one of the best and most popular song in the world with some of the best music artist in the world including Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr
*WHILE LOOKING LIKE AN AVERAGE GUY YOU WOULD SEE AT YOUR GAS STATION*
You do realise that Clapton was the lead guitarist on this song right?
@@shashankiyer5751 Yes. His guitar solo in the song sends chills down my spine. (in a good way)
@@harrisonstarr7993 He was my first gig and honestly the best. What a legend
Not sure if you are aware of this, but he played guitar on the studio version. George showed the song to the band, they ignored it. He showed it to Clapton, who loved it. He brought Clapton into the studio and they worked on it there and largely recorded it, with Clapton doing a large part of the guitar. Band loved it, they put it on vinyl with some final touches. THAT is why he gets to lead on this. It's half his.
@@davedzone Very true. I would only add, that I also really like George's acoustic version, without Clapton and with an added verse. It's on the Anthology disc, 3. It's a much different song than the White Album. Stll, a great song with a nice Harrison vocal. Less 'rockier', more melancholic, perhaps. But, highly recommended. Imho.
Awesome to see 3 of the 5 artists who played on the original studio recording killing it live all those years later, with stellar backup!
One of the greatest songs ever written what an absolutely beautiful tribute
Yes lad well said. Scouser here. Grew up round the corner from where the Beatles are from. So proud. The best that ever did it. Just mates from the south end. Love it
More than a tribute to me.
What a great tribute
Can't believe I will be able to watch Eric Clapton in concert, one of the best musicians of all time, dreams come true.
When you listen to a song that you have heard a thousand times, played by a guitarist heard a thousand times, accompanied by sacred monsters heard a thousand times .... but you still shiver.
Immense, unattainable musicians.
My thoughts exactly and I had goosebumps watching this…fabulous
This song never gets old... It sounds better every time I listen to it.
Monsters?
excellent sentence
So ist es ...Gruss aus Augsburg-Germany😶🌫🌴
What a tribute. Probably one of the best recordings, one of the best renditions, and one of the best versions ever.
Definitely great. But the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame version with Prince is special
Prince version was best.
This was nice; however, the 2004 version with Tom Petty, Jeff Lynn, Steve Winwood, D. Harrison, along with Prince and Marc Mann on solos, was off the charts.
It's a terrible recording. I'd like to hear what the percussionists are playing but they're drowned out by three drummers. (All playing the exact same thing).
For sure cheers
Dhanni Harrison is the most 4K picture of George we will ever have
Incredible likeness, eerie but lovely as well
Lol...he is just like a clone
even plays like him when he was young
Could he look any more like him?
Right next to uncle C.
Listening to this on George's 81st birthday. This performance is still just stunning. Once again McCartney reminds us that he created that opening piano riff and keeps it going throughout. All the musicians here are just bringing it.
It's such a satisfying feeling watching the drummers in sync in the wide shots
I'm mesmerized too!
This is my 9 year old son's favorite song. He listens to it over and over before he goes to sleep.
Yes, his mother and I are teaching him right.
Way to go dad. Very cool!
Awesome! I grew up on my dads taste in music and albeit it was diverse a few artists/groups has stuck with me my entire life (I'm now nearly 30). The Beatles, Stevie Wonder, Miles Davis and Bill Evans. I still listen to all of them almost everyday. In other words, this song may still put your son to sleep in a couple of decades. Music is amazing.
Well done 👏🏻
You sure r
What, no Black Sabbath no Led Zeppelin ? That child is being deprived of his youth! Bad parents! lol
I loved hearing this in 1969 in college at age 18. Now at 72, I still love hearing it. When I was 15 , my 3 buddies and I entered a "Beatle Contest". I played George Harrison. The Beatles have been there all my adult life and have given me so many hours of enjoyment. They still do today!!!!
Anche io
What great memories!
I will be 75 this year these musicians are the best of the best on this planet just do epic stuff on steroids
I actually envey you. You guys who experienced the 60's and 70's have seen the best songs created infront of you. You guys enjoyed it and celebrated it. Folks who came after you just heard it. You have the seen the best decades of music. Lucky you.
The 60s and 70s. Driving around listening to the radio and cheap gas. Miss those days. I will be 70 in August and hard to believe 💕💖💗
The Beatles and Eric Clapton recorded this song on the day I was born!!! I’ve been a Beatles fan my whole life and George was always my favorite, but I only found out that this song was recorded the day I was born about four months ago! I’m still overwhelmed to learn this! Is it any wonder what a fan I am?!! 😊❤ This whole concert is amazing! I don’t know how they held it together so well! I cry every time I watch it! Everyone on that stage really loved George!
ERIC is the only one who can make his GUITAR cry tears.
Brilliant ❤🦘🐨
The guitar cry the tears in heaven
Beautiful.
What about Gary moore
@@Mr_Ardilla So true mate
My eyes get watery when I see Dhani playing this song. So beautiful. We are so blessed to have George share this gift with us.
That line “with every mistake we must surely be learning” kills me every time 🥲
ua-cam.com/video/gVf4TIrY0jI/v-deo.html
Is it that the truth. I'd like to start all over now. To my heart to make decisions, I've made a couple bad ones. I've forever pay for those mistakes. I still have to trust in your heart if I didn't there would have been more mistakes. God bless you all.
The Clapton solos were absolutely amazing!!!! It really looked like he was talking to his very good friend with his guitar telling him how much he loves and misses him - maybe apologizing for chasing after his wife also!
George was and is my favorite of all of the fab 4. His songs touch different emotions for me than the others. He was the sweet soul of the Beatles. Eric plays and sings beautifully on this magnificent tribute to his friend. George's son playing with all those assembled is emotional beyond words that can be expressed. The all star talent level of all those performing on this version is amazing. RIP George
I'll go along with that.
His guitar starts to cry😂😊
You expressed what I was thinking, better than I could have.
@@TrevorDennis100 traduzir para o português a letra
George was the quiet one. But he was the best of the bunch. Still waters run deep.
I am a drummer and it never fails to impress me how tight all 4 drummers are, the best of the best!
Totallly agree!!!
This is just mindblowing. Even a fraction of a second in difference would be heard. And all the percussionists too.. Just amazing
That's why them dudes is who they are and we aren't.
I'm just as impressed with how perfectly Paul and Eric hit the high notes with precision and on time and not a fraction of a note off. That's every bit as splendid, especially 40-some years after the song was released. Nobody's in their 20s anymore, so the purity of their singing voices to me is equally mind-blowing.
@@briane173i agree but they have also performed this song gazillion times by then, that also helps
@@talkswithvigy7860 Oh of course! And I've seen a few of the others. They're all excellent but don't all have the crispness of this performance. That alone is hard to do when you've performed this so many times you're doing it in your sleep. You'd think that after the gazillionth time playing this that boredom would set in or it comes in at something less than 100%. Not here, they nailed it.
Seeing Dhani there, it's like George was still alive and well. The resemblance between the two really is remarkable.
That’s what I thought
All that show is missing was George himself rest in peace Mr Harrison be safe be peaceful
Beautiful touching moment when Dhani Harrison, George's son, thanks Clapton at the end.
Alan Griffin - well if Eric didn't steal George's first wife then Dhani wouldn't exist, Georgie wouldn't have got with Olivia.
Well... if you cheat on your wife and she leaves you, you can't say it's a "steal".
In one of his interviews George said he has been happy actually that Clapton "had stolen" her.
I don't get it...
Corey G the thing is that george was being less happier with his 1st wife, but he wanted the best for her, even if she was unfertile, the best was clapton's love, he knew it was right bc he was his friend, and so he married olivia the mother of dhani
George Harrison never heard a more beautifully performed version of this song. That his son was wrapped up in it, that it was done by talented friends who loved him and shared with the world made it perfect. I can think of no finer legacy. Well done! Thank you. Texas
The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame version was better
That’s Eric’s solo is so good the first you can hear his guitar weeps ... so emotional ! Clapton is a master ...

Love the way you played this Eric. Miss my friend George although, so many times after all these years, i feel much of you is still here with the us.
Shoutout to the guy on the bongos going absolutely ham and having the time of his life.
That’s Ray Cooper... and he’s a legend.
The percussionist is Ray Cooper, can often be spotted in the band line up for Elton John, brilliant character, brilliant percussionist...makes me smile too, always seems to be having the time of his life when playing....unique!
Now go watch Clapton Unplugged and watch Mr. Cooper make those congos his bitch.
Ray Cooper , best percussionist ever, very fussy about who he played with. No one better.
thats ray cooper he played on a lot of elton songs all the best talent here
Don’t care that he’s not the most technical player out there, Clapton has got feel and soul. He deserves to carry on George’s legacy. Bravo! 👏
I feel bad for anyone who gets hung up on that sort of thing. What matters in music is how it makes people feel and how it sounds, which is why Clapton is top tier ever!
Shawn Nielsen You get it.
What do you mean Eric Clapton is not the most technical player???
@@MRdevildeath47 idk, what a shithead lmao
technical means nothing because EC controls tone!
Love watching the synchronization of all the drummers!
Me too
why do they have so many?
@@tomspencer1028 they've all played with George at one point.
actually.. like none of the drummers are synchronized haha. Sure they play the same backbeat from time to time, but almost all of them are just playing randomly and are doing drum fills all over the place haha, like in 1:19 or 5:05. Love how Ringo is just playing like he's always been playing.
But the mix out is very different, they only seem to be using one or two drum mixes, and tiny bit of percussion some times, tho everyone is mic'd up. But if you were to mix all of those instruments together it would be kaos haha, hope they had good monitoring on stage and could cancel out some of those drums, Erik didn't even had any in ears. Final mix sounds real good tho!
Too many drummers. So unnecessary. The entire stage was bloated.
I don't know if anyone noticed, but Ringo Starr, Paul McCartney, Jeff Lynne, and Billy Preston are all staring at Eric Clapton in complete awe and admiration as he plays the outro. They're like "OMG that is amazing" and then Dhani goes over to him showing complete gratitude. I don't know what spirit took over Clapton, but that was an amazing performance.
It is by far better than Prince's version. Prince might have the flash, but he doesn't have the heart and soul of this song like Eric has.
I noticed that too! He gave his heart!
Маестрално
Oh my gosh...no one out classes Paul McCartney. Strange comment.
Eric Clapton play the solo on the studio version on The White Album. Who better?
George Harrison wrote "While my Guitar gently weeps" and Eric Clapton showed us how a guitar weeps. True legends!!!!
You are so right mate...
@SLOT ONLINE VIP 77 That's why Clapton is sometimes called the Fifth member of The Beatles.
This has to be the greatest version of this song, ever. The whole band is playing as one and yet I swear I can hear each instrument. They blend so well. The brass in the rhythm sounds amazing.
Are you one of the 18M viewers of this version: ua-cam.com/video/oDs2Bkq6UU4/v-deo.html George's vocals there are much more expressive. And I love when he and Eric go toe-to-toe at 3:30. Probably a good thing that Dhani didn't try that.
"Brass in the rhythm"??
Forgive me if I am using the wrong term I am in no way a musically educated person. The saxaphones, playing along. Is that not to the rhythm. Please inform me if I am mistaken.
Great tune, love the Beatles, and Clapton is a phenomenal guitarist of course...but that prince solo of this is just unreal
@@davef4882 Imo, a solo should serve the song. Prince's solo only served his ego.

OMG i thought i saw George Harrison, it's his son! Wow looks so identical.
Came to the comments to confirm that
Dhani looks like George more than George himself :-)
One of the other performers quipped that it was like George stayed young while everyone else got old.
not that Paul McCartney needed any inspiration to sing in this venue but I think I can read the extra emotion when he looks in Dhani's direction, he sees George in his memory right there
@@TheUnknown285 it was George's late wife that said that
Eric Claption, Paul McCartney, Dhani Harrison, Ringo Starr, Jeff Lynne, Steve Winwood and so many other talented atrists. Prince crushed the final guitar solo. George, this all for you.

Didn't spot Winwood but love that guy. So modest and super talented
steve winwood not there. jim and phil capaldi, brothers, on percussion
Audience
Is that Paul Shaffer on the bongos?
George Harrison was always my favorite Beatle from the time I was 9 years old. I admire his wife Olivia and think his son Dhani is a special young man. I think Dhani looks a lot like his father. " While My Guitar Gently Weeps" was a favorite song of mine that George wrote. I was in Junior High the first time I heard it.
Me too
He had some great songs
Cornamuse scozzesi
Although Dhani looks young, he's not that young. I think he's in his early 40's
me too i must say. another pisces -i was born 24 feb and my mom was from near liverpool. here in the us, the beatles been a large part of our lives since day one.
the only person alive to have the honor and Right to play Georges part on that song.... BRAVO!
Well not for nothing, Eric did have a habit of helping himself to George’s stuff. 🤷🏻♂️

Absolutely correct. Clapton and George were close friends and Clapton did the guitar work on George's recording this song.

So, so many drummers know every one of Ringo's licks and can play his parts verbatim. I've seen this going back to the early '70's. He's revered for his steadiness and style.
Same here! I keep coming back!
This is probably the closest we ever got to a Beatles Reunion. Paul, Ringo, Harrison jr, and Clapton for John.
The musicians who played on this concert all played in George's band at some stage.
Clapton step up for John but they were friends.
No disrespect to Clapton but never compare Clapton to John
@@CJ-ci1ri other way around. It was Clapton the Beatles kept asking to play. John was not known for how well he played the guitar. In fact George was better.
Detroit Lady wasn’t there a point where john wanted eric clapton to replace george but clapton refused cus him and george were pals
Quite possibly the greatest line up of talent ever to play together paying their personal respects to a dear friend..RIP George..

He made it weep the first time, he made it weep the 2nd time

Eric put his heart and soul into that song for George. When it was over he looked stun for a few seconds.
Stunned as every outstanding musician when they end their song so immersed in it that reality hits them in the face with a jolt. It's why a sensitive audience holds their applause for the conductor or player to gather their composure. LOVE IT. 🎵❤
