- It's been more then a few months since we have hit this album... and that is just wrong. So, I rectified that situation and did two tracks from "All Things Must Pass" for all of us to enjoy. This was so good. George was so misunderstood i feel..

What track by George should we do next? Just continue with this album? Or do something different? Let me know down below!
Could try a new rabbitt hole with his band Traveling Wilburys with Dylan & Friends - not sure if you have done that band - the videos are good too. Handle Me With Care
Suggestions from the all things must pass album: id have u anytime (written by harrison & bob dylan), let it grow, from behind that locked door, apple scruffs....thats all i got for now, but u really cant go wrong with this album
Isn't it a pity?
Now isn't it a shame?
How we break each other's hearts and cause each other pain
How we take each other's love without thinking anymore
Forgetting to give back
Isn't it a pity?
Bangladesh is a sad and moving song
Who knows... I suspect that one of the tracks from this album might just be my Patreon choice for next month..... I FEEL THE NEED.... LOL... Take care Lee..
All things must past is about the sad ending of the Beatles. I cry everytime i hear it.😪
The title song brings tears to my eyes even after all these years of listening to this magnificent effort from George. All Things Must Pass, even George himself. We loved you George and still do.
Such a beautiful track. The melancholy and realization rings so true.
Two top-level George Harrison tunes while he was with the Beatles are "Something" and "Here Comes The Sun."
I never realized how great George was until I heard this Album. I always thought the title of this album was about the end of the Beatles.
Yup and the gnomes on the cover are the Beatles and George lol
All Things Must Pass always makes me cry; so beautiful. George has always been my favorite.
Totally agree. Those of us that were lucky enough to grow up with the Beatles seemed to pick a favourite. George always resonated with me the most, especially as he matured. I have planned to have All Things Must Pass at my funeral - so apt! Love you man!
What is Life is one of those girl dad songs you play on road trips and sing along with at the top of your lungs. All Things Must Pass was a highlight of the Concert for George, with Paul playing guitar alongside Dhani Harrison
Read the lyrics to “awaiting on you all”
When Gorge has something to say he will tell you what he thinks.
One song featuring George on slide guitar is "Give Me Love (Give Me Peace On Earth) from his 1973 album Living in the Material World. Harrison started playing slide in 1969 at the suggestion of Delaney Bramlett when George and Clapton both toured Europe with Delaney and Bonnie and Friends. That makes sense because it would add a new flavour to the mix, and he wouldn't be competing with Clapton's lead guitar. This is where they met future Dominos members Jim Gordon, Bobby Whitlock, and Carl Radle, who also played on this album.
One of the most beautiful tracks Isn’t a Pity is thought to be about the breakup of the Beatles but of course, it could be about his marriage to Patti Boyd. Whatever it is, it really is a very special song.
Probably not about either as he wrote it a few months after they got married and long before they broke up. George has said it was about a downturn in any relationship.
This is one of my all time favorite records, there are some real gems in there.
i've got plenty more to go but the three tracks i've heard are ALL stellar so far
Gary Brooker, who played piano on All Things Must Pass, was the singer/pianist from Procol Harum.
Mom used to tell me "It's what you learn after you think you know it all that counts". I thought I knew so much about all The Beatles but it wasn't until after they were broken up and went their mostly separate ways that I finally learned a lot more than I ever knew(adult life happened)
These songs are gold to me now. I'm sure I haven't got anything to tell you that other people have already said but thank you anyway
Because I'm such a weirdo f up most of my life, My sister gave me a refrigerator magnet that has "All things must pass" . She's always been my savior since kindergarten. When we visit we still sing The Beatles in harmony like we did when we were kids in the early 60s
Don't ever forget to Beware of Darkness
My thoughts exactly.
my favorite
I know he reacted to it from Concert For Bangladesh, but I hope he reacts to the one from this album❤
I was working in a record store when the original 3 LP box set was first released and people came in droves to buy it as soon as they could. The consensus back then was that it was far better than Paul or John's first solo offerings.
i haven't heard more then a track or two off of the other's solo debuts, but i've enjoyed them all. i can't really pick yet, to be honest.
Maybe back then there wasn't enough appreciation for songs that were on Plastic Ono Band.
"Isn't it a pity" and "Beware of darkness" are great song on this album. "Dark Horse" is beatiful. Later on on his "Cloud nine" album there are great songs too - watch the music video for "When we was fab". And then go to the Traveling Wilburys. Btw there is a Beatles time outtake for "All things must pass" that is really good.
He should have done this Song ( All things must pass) when he was in The Beatles, John and Paul Asked him to do it.
Bought this when it first came out and have NEVER tired of listening to the whole album.
When my mom died in 1992 I’d put this album on my turntable each morning when I got up and played the song All Things Must Pass first thing. I did this for about 3 months and it helped to put in context the huge loss I was dealing with❤
My parents gave me this album for Christmas when it came out! My favorite songs from it are Let It Down, Beware of Darkness, Behind That Locked Door, Wah-Wah, and Run of the Mill.
I was lucky enough to see the concert for this album in Toronto early 70's at Maple Leaf Gardens. A full Indian Orchestra with Ravi Shankar as well as Billy Preston and Tom Scott ( L.A. Express)......What a trip 3-4 hours of unbelievable music.
"Dear One" is a Harrison song I have recently discovered, and LOVE!
Eastern rhythm is what got my ear on it....plus George's usual message of love.
My favourite George song is "Long Long Long", which comes just after Helter Skelter on the White Album, and is the perfect song to follow Helter Skelter
Two beautiful positive songs. George blossomed like a butterfly after the Beatles broke up. The cast list on that album reads like a Who's Who of rock!
Great reaction! Fantastic album!
You could hear to The Travelling Willbouries.
It's astounding when you realize that Harrison became every bit as good (or better) a songwriter as Lennon and McCartney. The "All Things Must Pass" album is just insane. He was just storing up all of these songs for years. Many of them he tried to have be Beatles songs (including "All Things Must Pass"), but they were just dismissed.
By 2 of the most successful writers of the Century. Lennon and McCartney.
I Dig Love; Cheer Dow; Any Road; are some great George solo work.
During the Get Back sessions, The Beatles worked on All Things Must Pass and Paul sang it on the Concert For George tribute.
This entire album is a masterpiece. Do all of it.
Edit: the slide guitar work is sublime
Check out George as a member of the Travelling Wilburys (Dylan, Tom Petty, Roy Orbison, Jeff Lynn, and of course George)
sadly only 2/5 left of them.
Jim Gordon was on drums (Derek and the Dominos, Traffic, a ton of studio work on many well-known songs - Rikki Don't Lose That Number, Pet Sounds, etc.)
All things must pass always makes me sob like a baby 😢
Between the Beatles, Traveling Willburys & his Solo stuff, George left a huge footprint in music. Btw- some of my fave Beatle tunes were by George: Taxman, Something, Here Comes the Sun, While My Guitar Gently Weeps, etc. Really, he WAS as good a writer as John or Paul, & if given the help in production from Mr. Martin, & the chance from the other Beatles, it would have been obvious. I miss him. I miss them all. George was the deep one though, even though John is usually given that credit. Truth is- they were all brilliant. RIP George✌️🎸🎸😎💫
Can you imagine "Abbey Road" with "What Is Life?" instead of "Maxwell's Silver Hammer?".
I'd like both! I love Maxwel.l
@@Moz1011each to their own but MSH is absolute tosh and the only low spot on the entire album.
I sometimes wonder what the singles on these first solo albums would have sounded like on a hypothetical Beatles farewell album, since the songs on Let It Be and Abbey Road had already been recorded when their breakup was announced although Phil Spector remixed Let It Be afterwards. What would "What Is Life" or "It Don't Come Easy" by The Beatles have sounded like?
@@John-et9yl in your opinion.
@@John-et9yl better than Polythene Pam and Mean Mr Mustard
So much lennon influence crept into georges music🤘❤️
Other George Harrison songs you should give a listen to if you have not already include: "All Those Years Ago", ‘Give Me Love (Give Me Peace On Earth)’, ‘My Sweet Lord', ''Got My Mind Set on You", "Something" and "Here Comes the Sun".
“All things must pass”… truth.
The most truthful truth ever spoken.
One more I always forget from 1976.
"Cracker Box Palace" from his 33 1/3 Lp which is a fine Lp. This song was a big hit and all over the radio at the time.
Also from his 1979 Lp "George Harrison"
"Blow Away" a great song. George is highly underrated, the dude had a lot of great strong songs.
Wow! One more "Give Me Love (Give Me Peace On Earth)" another big hit and great song from his 1973 Lp "Living In The Material World" which by the way that song "Living In The MW" is also a fantastic song and a must listen. Like I said, George had some great songs that I feel us older ones forget about .
I saw The Beatles on the Sullivan show in 64 and saw them later that year live in concert. I've been around for the entire ride for all four of these characters.
George was my favorite solo artist of the 4.
Peace❤
George's third solo album but first following the breakup of the Beatles. I dare you to listen all the way through his 2nd solo album "Electronic Sound"
One of my favorite George cuts is called Be Here Now from his Living In The Material world album. It is indescribably beautiful. Do yourself a favor and give it a listen. I love what you do.
George had a helluva time getting his songs on Beatles albums. He was reportedly quite frustrated. He did have a huge catalog of songs that were ignored. Such a classic, timeless album.
Theres a great song on Brainwashed called The Rising Sun, its amazing song to write and sing when you know you're dying, uplifting. Also love Devil and the Deep Blue Sea on that album
Great reaction, brother. I loved George his stuff was quite different from the rest. Check out his beatles songs, excellent writer, and singer George loved Indian influences and lot of his song have it..try my sweet lord also...keep spreading the music around Godbless 🎉
This album is epic, therapeutic, satirical, emotional. ....I will return with a few suggestions, George became my favorite BeatleI I named my Cat after Mr. Harrison, black-fur, mischief, reluctant, very loyal, and has his peaceful calm.
When the Beatles broke up (remember, they went out with a bang, not a whimper--their last three albums, released over 11 months--were the White Album, Abbey Road, and Let it Be), fans were like junkies, desperately needing a fix of Beatles music. I believe McCartney was the first to put out a solo album, his self-titled album, which was well received. George's 3-album set was next, and it received wide acclaim, which surprised some because George had been kept a bit in the shadows while in the Beatles. For sure, All Things Must Past established his musical bona fides. The third album in the set--Apple Jam--was just that, a prolonged non-lyrical jam session. While often overlooked, it had its merits, I always considered it as a bonus.
Ringo was the first Beatle to release a solo album in March 1970, then Paul in April, George in November, and John in early December. :)
All Things Must Pass can be heard briefly in the Let It Be sessions. Paul does it on Concert For George.
Thanks!
Jim Gordon was the drummer. As your journey through the history of this record you’ll find that BadFinger,Derek & all the Dominoes, Stone’s horn section play on this song. Nuff said.
Not ready for recommendations yet. 1) yeah you right, you should do the prep work. Checklists are created for a reason. I totally understand your frustration, when the system tells you it's all good, yet it isn't... Well it's tough.
Loved this song since hearing it when I was a kid
Great album!!❤
His first two albums ( Wonderwall and Electronic Sounds ) were instrumentalists. This is his first with his own lyrics
As long as you are on this album, Isn't it a pity.
Many people found Phil Specter's extensive use of reverb muddied up the sound too much, and the 50th anniversary edition, executive produced by Dhani Harrison, was remixed from the original tapes with much of it removed.
Exactly what I said about Phil's version!
@@ColeenU No, it isn't autotuned nor pitch-corrected at all! The remixed versions sound absolutely amazing. WELL worth finding and listening to some of them. They are incredibly well-done. George's family worked hard to produce something that George would have wanted, and it's a beautiful result.
The remixed versions sound incredible! They did a great job, and George would have been pleased.
Oh, there is a side to this album where these songs are on acoustic. The version of the songs you listened to had Phil Spector's "Wall of Sound". Totally not conducive to the sound of the songs. Any and every song is really good. George Harrison has such a unique voice. Gentle-sounding and mesmerizing. "Isn't it a Pity". A MUST.
A year after George H' left this mortal realm, Eric Clapton organized a memorial concert in London (The Concert for George, 2002) with an Indian-Asia portion, appearance by some of Monty Python, and a multitude of friends and family playing their favorite chosen Harrison tunes, at The Royal Albert Hall in London. "All things must pass" was due for near the close, and during practice Paul McC' is reported to say that the Beatles demo'd the song, but he didn't know it very much. Eric Clapton is reported to have answered that Paul should know this song, as it's part about the dissolution of The Beatles. (And, George's personal/spirital life).
Drums by Jim Gordon. Go back and listen to his drumming on "Wichita Lineman," then listen to this again. Just amazing.
So many great songs on that album!
George 🤗
Love it, but that's George on slide, not Pete Drake. And the late Jim Gordon on drums.
This album was the best Beatles solo album.
I would suggest 'Run of the Mill', I'm pretty sure you will like it
Definitely Ringo on drums on All Things Must Pass (The song)
Definitely give a listen to "My Sweet Lord," Lee, if you haven't already done so. 👍
Twirling 🎇💕
I think What is Life was played at the end the Adam Sandler movie Big Daddy, but by a different artist
The Beatles rehearsed this song with George but there just wasn't enough time
Woot woot!
george is in the house!
@@L33Reacts 👏👏👏👏🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌
All Things Must Pass had alot of meanings, not the least of which was an exhortation to let the Beatles go; move on. I played the hell out of this album when it came out. Highlights for me are Let It Roll, Ballad of Frankie Crisp. Apple Scruffs. Another great Harrison record was his very last one, called Brainwashed. I don't think it got alot of airplay, but it is a gem of an album. He knew he did not have long to live, and that it would be his last recording.
George is my favouite Beatle.
The first album that I ever bought.
George Harrison mentions Frank Zappa in his song "Blood from a Clone" on his 1981 album Somewhere in England !
"blood from a clone" is one helluva song title. i think i love it already.
It's Ringo on All Things Must Pass.
More ofrece George pls
❤
Beware of darkness
Brother, u have to review “ Isn’t it a Pity” from George n my sweet lord! Please do it
Imagine all this songs played by all the Beatles instead. The song "All things must pass" was not "accepted" by the others 😅
My Sweet Lord was the biggest hit from this album. My Sweet Lord was the first #1 Billboard hit by ANY ex-Beatle.
I did the live version from the concert for Bangladesh version of that track. It was so damn good. George is genus at points.
have to do If Not For You
Yes!
I’m definitely gonna do more from this. Absolutely. How could I not lol I’ll keep that one in mind
@@L33Reacts That one and Awaiting on You All are more upbeat like What is Life. Isn't it a Pity is slower and very pretty.
Isn’t It a Pit and Beware of Darkness from the same album.
The core band on this album turned out to continue on as Derek and the Dominoes. This is such a great album. Try to find an original mix, I never liked the new mixes. Bobby Whitlock has a UA-cam channel and he talks about working with George and Eric, so fascinating. Don’t miss Isn’t it a Pity, and Apple Scruffs, his tribute to the girls who would keep vigil out side of their offices, Give Me Love, and Living in the Material World. There’s lots more I could name, can you tell I love George?!
I thought this was the original mix produced by Phil Spector?
All the members of Badfinger played on this album, too.
@@lauraallen55 The cover of the album on the thumbnail he had was from one of the later remastered reissues Peter Frampton and Phil Collins too. Phil Collins tells a hilarious story about a practical joke George played on him about this album.
@@angielofton6372 Oh, thanks, yes, it is. I like the 50th anniversary version in the box set that Dhani oversaw that took out the Phil Spector overproduced bits best!
I'll have to look for that story with George and Phil Collins! :D All the Beatles had great senses of humor. :)
I'm sure he offered a few of these songs to Paul and John, they weren't really interested in them.
Neither John nor Paul rejected this song. George was not happy with the versions the Beatles did of it.
❤️🇮🇹
The Beatles kept passing on Georg's song All Things Must Pass. But he finally got his way on his own. Check out Art Of Dying and Beware of Darkness.
They did more takes of it than Maxwell or Ob-La-Di. George never did like the results.
I did beware of darkness live from the Bangladesh. Very good track. I love George
Art of dying is such a rad name for a song
Beware the Darkness
Beware of Darkness - he has covered it from the Concert for Bangladesh!
Ringo?
Wait to you hit up beware of darkness
Clapton?
Imagine how great this album would have been with George Martin producing instead of that Phil Specter character? The kazoo sounds in ATMP are annoying as hell. George didn't get the short-end in The Beatles - he just didn't develop his songs far enough to catch the others interest. Then he does his 3 LP "dump" with ATMP, with one side a jam, and completely runs out of ideas by 1974, (happy comment per Google Guidelines)
yeah martin would have made this one of the best albums ever, no doubt. phil seems like a character, indeed lol
@@L33Reacts Hope you see this but Dhani remixed all the Phil out of them as his dad had thought of doing. Worth finding and checking out!
There are bootleg versions of The Beatles doing "All Things Must Pass" runthroughs. I think this final, solo, version is better!
really?? shit i gotta hear that now lol this is an endless rabbit hole
You say All Things Must Pass was more George solo, but that's one The Beatles did record.
Try this (there are more versions but this is my fave) by The Beatles from the Anthology: ua-cam.com/video/5ODEhwaU2Uw/v-deo.html
Love all the solo Beatles stuff, but this one the least, way too poppy for my taste!
You can sure tell the difference between Sir George Martin's production and Phil Spector's when listening to this (What is Life). It's got so much reverb, and sounds a bit like the vocals get lost in the mix. But, I love the song so very much!
yeah, george is one helluva producer. apparently phil was a madman across the water when it came to production...lol
@@L33Reacts He really was. The Beatles re-did an entire album (without his 'wall of sound') after Phil produced it the first time.
@@L33ReactsHe was convicted of murder and died in prison. So also just a madman.
@@stlmopoet He fired a gun in a Lennon session. John said something like, "If you're going to kill me, just do it. But don't just fire the gun anymore. I need my hearing to record."
@@debjorgo Wow!
Here are a couple of great Harrison tracks for you to consider from his other albums: "When We Was Fab" from the "Cloud Nine" album in 1987 (a tongue-in-cheek homage full of musical, lyrical, AND visual references to The Beatles during their 1967 psychedelic period) and "Crackerbox Palace" from the 1976 LP "33 & 1/3". Both songs are catchy, clever and have great accompanying videos.
Hell yeah
Somewhere along the line you should watch the Concert For George, an event organized by Clapton, where Eric and many of George's friends and people who had played with him got together a year after his death, and played Harrison's music - people like Paul, Ringo, Tom Petty, Gary Brooker, Jim Keltner, Jeff Lynne, and many more. There was also Ravi Shankar with an Indian orchestra, a sitar piece by Shankar's daughter, and a Monty Python segment (George financed The Life Of Brian). The George stories on the DVD extras (also on Y.T.) were great too. One highlight was Clapton and McCartney's rendition of "Something", then there was "While My Guitar Gently Weeps". There is also the Martin Scorcese movie "Living in the Material World".
Concert for George brings those who lovee him to tears... well worth watching.
@@cindydepriest3720 Me too.
Totally agree. Make time to view and listen to the complete concert, the end brought me to tears.
I'd suggest Concert for Bangladesh first featuring George himself at his peak. The triple album of the concert actually won the Grammy for album of the year in 1973. So amazingly George started his post-Beatles career with two triple albums.
I recommend L33 'Life Itself' from Somewhere In England LP in 1981. Also on Best of Dark Horse, George's second greatest hits compilation. Not well known but a gorgeous song with a religious theme and lots of George guitar. Don't neglect later George. He went missing chart-wise for a time pre-Cloud 9 but there are gems hidden on those later albums.
Lennon and McCartney were geniuses, real ones and George in any other band would have been a lead songwriter. McCartney turned George's song something from a nice ballad into a masterpiece. He did so by composing a counter melody on bass, my favorite bass line of all time. Really the song Something that we know is a Harrison/McCartney composition in my mind. George didn't get the short end of the stick as having the two greatest composers of the 20th century in your band is a dream come true and he could learn from the best up close and personal. And he did learn. Having a genius composer like McCartney as your bass player is a huge bonus and showed on George songs like Taxman, Something and Here Comes The Sun (another driving McCartney bass line). McCartney often brought George songs to life while John was the influence in him having something to say. Few give Lennon and McCartney credit for this, but I do, because I can hear it.
This is such a good album ...more please
oh dont worry we will be doing more. and with no 6 month wait either this time! lol
My favorite of George's Beatles tracks is the super-psychedelic "It's All Too Much." Highly recommended!
i'll add that one to the list, thank you ;)
That is definitely a most underrated song. I love the psychedelia in it
@@L33Reacts❤❤
I’ll be looking forward to that one! One of my favs.
@@L33Reacts❤
The great "Wall of Sound", thanks to producer Phil Spector. Also on this masterpiece: Isn't it a pity, If not for you(Dylan song), Beware of darkness, Ballad of Sir Frankie, Awaiting on you all... and more!
You should do something from Concert For George. All georges friends remembering him through his songs.
that's a great idea. i will keep that in mind. thank you!
