Making "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" (LOVE Version)
Вставка

- Look behind the scenes and see how this re-arranged version of “While My Guitar Gently Weeps” was created from The Beatles LOVE performance by Eira Glover of Cirque du Soleil.
The recording of the orchestral music took place at Air Studios and was one of the last pieces of work completed by Sir George Martin.
Seeing Sir George Martin conducting the last score for a Beatles song he would ever do was both inspiring and emotional.
Seeing Olivia in the background of the mixing room was very powerful, seeing her husband’s legacy unfold even more.
That's not Olivia
@@kirtichoudhary6438 It is
That is Olivia...
@@renataguimaraes2341 But I've seen Olivia he lives in George's house (A Hard Day's Night)
Yesss!
RIP George and George
Lol
George Harrison, the quiet one, was always my favorite Beatle. RIP for both George Harrison & George Martin
Ah,.,,. Now I get it
krymsz
George Harrison (1943-2001)
&
George Martin (1926-2016).
RIP John
Lets not forget the 'Love' album was the idea of George Harrison to go with the Cirque du Soleil unfortunately he did not live to see it happen so I think this song was very fitting to be specially made to go on the album.God Bless both Georges. ❤️
Yes, great point and one that most people overlook. So sad that George couldn’t be there to see it come to fruition
George always had a vision for great things...❤️
George's voice is so sweet and calm.He was truly a brilliant musician.
I could listen to him all day. His son has the same voice.
my favorite version for this song.
Both George's were brilliant.
Rip both of you ;(
No doubt this is very nice but nothing beats the acoustic version that George did with his guitar ...after all it is the guitar that weeps although the violin sounds nice too...
SuperParsman what I love about this version is it's the guitar version but with the violins. So you can still hear George's guitar. The violins aren't to dominant in this version.
This version doesn't just make a guitar weep, it makes me weep.
yup :(
Saaaaame
It makes everyone weep...😭😭😭
This imo is the best version of the song, don't get me wrong eric Clapton did an amazing job on the released version
When I heard "While Me Guitar Gently Weeps" for the first time in 1989, from one of Georges's live performances, I started crying and I was totally infected by the "Beatlemania" virus from which there is no cure! I have only cried of the pure beauty of 2 songs in my now 50-year-long life. The other song was Beach Boys "God Only Knows".
Both George Harrison and George Martin were amazing in what they did. They both can rest easy knowing that we have something to remember them both.
@mihir kattimani I'm pretty sure that's not what they meant at all.
Amen to that and we'll said
we also have "something"
1:51 gave me chills. It just shows George Martin's pure genius.
I agree. George worked wonders for the Beatles. They would not have been as great without him.
@@its4it that is debatable. Geoff Emerick and Norman Smith also were involved in bringing the Beatles ideas alive. As manager of Parlophone GM gave the Beatles a chance to shine - and boy did they take it!
Beatles Real love
@@dannyvine3605 but those 2 didnt write brillant orchestral arrangments for the beatles in any song
There is no end, no boundaries to where the Beatles reach out and give so much pleasure to people.
RIP Sir George Martin, his a great mean 😭😞
*man
I forgot he died he lived a full life
+atiba aier sorry typo
*he's
Why is he getting credit lol. George Harrison is the composer
When George's voice came in I started crying
Me too 😭😭😭
same :(
Same to me 👌🎵💕
I never heard George Harrisons demo, until the LOVE version.. The string arrangement, and the previously unheard extra verse, by Harrison, took this song to a different level. In one way its as deep or deeper than Yesterday, or Elignor Rigby.. I love the version the Beatles released, but this orchestral version is a true gem.
RIP George. you were brilliant.
+Sam F Yes. I'm almost afraid to see who else leaves us soon; we've already lost too many good musicians (BB King, Glenn Frey, David Bowie, Prince, Chris Squier, Mike Procaro, etc.)
Watched this with tears in my eyes. Two musical geniuses gone but never forgotten! Thanks so much for the incredible music & the memories that you gave to the world................... RIP George Martin & George Harrison.
This is great. While I love the album version (who doesn't?) on more than one occasion Harrison made these very beautiful demos with just acoustic guitar and voice which stand completely on their own. Then to get a last string chart/session from George Martin, I felt reverent just watching it. Pure class and beauty all the way around.

"Ah, lovely." ❤️ 😊
Thank you, George and George.
God bless you Sir George. It gives me chills to realize you were there and contributed to almost all of those magical songs. You are missed
The strings weep for all we have lost...Gloriously.
How can a perfect song be further improved? Leave it to George Martin. I wonder what Mr. Harrison would have said if he had heard this new version. From a loud and guitar based song to a string sound. Awesome!
It would be great if he had done that to other songs.
This version was like George’s own Yesterday.
Great songs almost always hold up no matter how they're arranged and this is a perfect example. I've heard at least a dozen versions by different groups/performers, most live and in every case the song still knocks me out. What's frustrating is that practically no one is writing like this today, thanks to the "convenience" of studio effects, lazy writers, etc. creating mostly emotionless, canned recordings...and that is a real shame.
If you listen to the Esher demo you will realize that it was meant to get a renovation in future...this song is so versatile that it can be given different musical arrangements and it will still sound great... that's why it's my favorite Beatles/George Harrison song ❤️
This version is as good as the version from the White Album!! :)
I think you mean The Beatles Anthology 3
No, did the one in the anthology have the orchestra? No, because that was the acoustic version of it. Then the white album and the the Love version which is the acoustic with orchestra
@@tomklym the original song is the one in The white album...the anthology has the Esher demo...and this one is orchestra version of the Esher demo...
@@marjanp4784 not really. The esher demo version have a faster tempo.
@@rafizi_ilhan well...you are right... it's actually Take 2..
There could be no better tribute to George‘s masterpiece than this arrangement! 😍
Beautiful art....Beautiful People. ....Beautiful have been living in this era .....
Beautiful Olivia watching in the background !!!!
indeed!
5th Beatle well-qualified.
The only
@@rudolphguarnacci197 To me, there are 4 people with a legitimate claim to being the 5th Beatle:
Pete Best
Stuart Sutcliffe
George Martin
Brian Epstein
@@brianmoore2735
I dont agree. Fifth Beatle means more than a former member as a candidate. With Pete or Stuart, the Beatles would never have made it out of the Cavern Club. Brian, yes, to an extent as he was the engine. It's certainly a point of debate; it seems everyone has a favorite fifth Beatle.
Edit: I asked a friend who said Billy Preston
@@rudolphguarnacci197 Everyone has their own opinion on this. For me, I would never exclude someone who was actually IN the Beatles (Best and Sutcliffe).
Billy Preston collaborated in one session, which to me is not enough. But again, everyone has their own opinion on this.
@@brianmoore2735 you call Get back/dont let me down singles + Let it be sessions + Abbey road sessions ''one session'' ?
Loved seeing all of their involvement in this. George is just purely amazing. It makes me want to cry every time those string instruments start creating this beautiful version. Plus, Olivia and son's reaction just hits my heart.
When I first heard this Love version,I was like "wait a minute, this is a new version but how come it has George's voice in it?" Coz George's voice in the original one is completely different(faster) than in this one. Now I know that he had a demo of it which is slower and kind of more romantic!!!... Thank God he had the demo, otherwise I wouldn't like someone else's voice instead of George's...❣️
Rest in peace my favorite Beatle ❤️

This made me feel goosebumps. What a great job they made.

Thank You Mr. Martin for a lifetime of joy

Yes Chills & goose bumps after watching this. Amazing Job
Lets all play this song on the anniversary as a tribute.
Beautiful Homage to Martin, to Sir George Martin...Must be the Water in England, what a Brilliant people you have.
This was by far the most honest piece of music that I had ever heard. Soo simple but explosive at the same time. Sometimes i listen to this song over and over and hear something I hadnt noticed before. George Martin was such a visionary, but then again George Harrison left a lot to work with. Thank you for posting this.
what can anyone say, its just pure genius by both Gorge's, RIP both or you thanks for giving so much to our World of music
16 Years to the day. R.I.P George Harrison. Best Beatle by far.....
A Masterpiece indeed ...a very talented person George Martin and George Harrison was brilliant too...hello to these beautiful persons...lovely music!!!
Quite beautiful. George and George keep giving us beauty.
La versión es hermosa, es increíble lo que George Martin hizo, simplemente no hay palabras ni manera de agradecer tanto 😢
The most prolific and important producer, builder, and editor of music in human history. Sir George Martin has no equal.
Looking back to a young boy reacting to this "new sound from over the pond" it seemed like everything just fell into place after all the years of hard work, sacrifice, emotion, love for their artistic pursuit & ea other to their place in world history unlike any other rock band whose message of love & world peace matched the opposite end of the spectrum of constant world conflict @ one time or other which is the other imprint of humanity on the earth. Thank you John, Paul, George & Ringo.🙏
ua-cam.com/video/X8Ln8rYedeA/v-deo.html
The fact that George added the strings to this version validates it for me.
This brings me tears...
RIP George & George.
Thank You for everything you've made and create.
To see that show,,I'd go to Vegas, no other reason. Thank you Sir, George🙏
For what it's worth, to me this musical arrangement is simply perfect......
It really brought tears to my eyes... It's so moving. Thanks!
A wonderful version: George Harrison and the fifth Beatle Sir George Martin.
George Martin = The Master
such a beautiful new video 👏 (and uploaded on my birthday!)
RIP Sir Martin, you are truly missed...
I like how you publish the final thing first before showing how it was made
Watching this video makes me weep! 😭 We miss you George and George! ❤️❤️ And also, it’s great that they had Olivia there! 🥰

IN MEMORIAN SIR GEORGE MARTIN and George Harrison..,--..,,,.....,,,,-----seeing Sir George Martin conducting the last score for a Beatles song he would ever do was both inspiring and emotional.
I was moved to tears when I first heard this version, one because it was a beautiful wistful demo version by George Harrison of his great song and two the fact the George Martin wrote and conducted the string arrangement proving that at 80 he was still his brilliant, tasteful, incredibly talented self. RIP both George's.
So beautiful! I love this song
Exactly Sir George! Ah lovely! ❤❤❤👏👏👌
One of George's best songs in Beatles. This version is so beautiful and so is the Soleil video too. Nice that it's one of George's songs that is chosen to promote the new show. Could so easily have been one of Lennon or McCartneys.
I wanted to comment on the beauty of this ,but now I'm speechless.
LOVE is brilliantly done
Thank you for the music! It's more than music for me and everyone.., one of the greatest music 20 century and may be more. From Russia with love I fly to you)). Everyday.
Wonderful, love this, talented people. George and his guitar are smiling,as I am.
ua-cam.com/video/X8Ln8rYedeA/v-deo.html
I think George Martin had the best job on the planet. He never changed his suit in all the years he worked and he worked with the best song writers you will ever find on the planet. Top job
Brilliant stuff ! Also it feels a bit sad without George Martin :(
" The Making of Love " documentary is equally, if not even more impressive, than this short video. I would recommend it to all Beatle lovers
What a Wonderful ode to a fantastic song!!!
What he added to the Beatles sound cannot be overstated.
Made me cry...I miss george and his beautiful music. His 🎶 music was the most soulful and spiritual.

George Martin was brilliant. And there's a big true statement coming now. Here we go. Without George Martin the Beatles either would not have made it at all. Or would not have made it to the extent to which they did. He gave them their break when everybody else had turned them down (virtually everybody). And at first and for most of their whole careers together as the Beatles he told them which instrumentation's would work,which versions sounded better,where to place certain notes or expressions musically. And even added some of his own personally created piano solos and stuff. That said means I take nothing away from the Beatles. They were and still are in my book, the best EVER. I just think with a different producer, they would NOT have done SO well. PEACE ✌ and LOVE ❤
Brian Epstein threatened to withdraw EMI records from his shops if they did not give The Beatles a record contract. EMI relented and gave him a lowly producer who had little experience of pop/rock bands, on a label few had heard of, Parlophone. EMI wanted to keep their sales up. The first session at Abbey Rd on 6 June 1962 with Pete Best was not an audition, it was the real thing, preparation for a single - a 'commercial test'. Mark Lewisohn found the EMI 'red form' in the archives which proves the Beatles were signed on contract a week before the 6 June 1962 session. Hard evidence. Even Pete Best states that it was not an audition, it was the real thing, they were there to make a single.
Martin stated that the Beatles "music was rubbish". On the second session at Abbey Road, the first with Ringo, Martin gave them a song which he said was a 'surefire No. 1 hit', How Do You Do. This 'rubbish' band turned it down. No raw band new to recording would do such a thing. The Beatles did, they were so sure of themselves and what they wanted to do. So, Martin gives a song which is 'surefire No. 1' to a band which is rubbish? A rubbish band could murder the song and make no money. That does not fit. You give songs like that to excellent well known bands as they will make lots of money for the label. Martin said the songs they wrote were poor. They were all hits that were released not long after he first met them. Love Me Do was not promoted enough with The Beatles unable to promote it as they were honouring a contract in Hamburg, so were away. It reached 17 - not bad at all for a record not promoted by an unknown band.
Martin has hidden the fact that he was given the Beatles to keep EMI record sales up in the North West of England. He had no choice in having them or not. He never accepted or rejected them, being told to make a single and appease Epstein. If the band flopped EMI had nothing to lose so bye, bye and the EMI sales are still up in the North West.

I am sorry but NEMS was not big enough to seriously effect EMI's sales! If that was the case then Decca would have signed up the Beatles! Brian Epstein tried to bully a lot of record companies to get the Beatles signed up. Only Decca and Parlophone gave the Beatles auditions. George Martin had heard the Decca audition tape before the Beatles auditioned for him - so he knew what they could sound like musically. On a last note, and one that is rarely mentioned, Parlophone at the time (1962) was close to being terminated as a company by EMI. That would have meant George Martin losing his job as executive of Parlophone!
I look from the wings at the play you are staging while my guitar gently weeps
As I´m sitting here doing nothing but braxing still my guitar gently weeps
~~~
George for George
I thought it was: "...nothing but aging..."
It is
luskipher
"Braxing" is a derivative of "BREXITING"
Oh...
luskipher you’re right. That is the correct lyric from that unused verse.
Loved seeing Olivia Harrison, George's wife, in the background
She would be so proud and a little sad as I’m sure she was missing George!
A beautiful song & a great producer! RIP

Absolutely beautiful.
Totally haunting when George's voice comes in. Wow!
ua-cam.com/video/X8Ln8rYedeA/v-deo.html
How can anyone dislike this superb song
While My Guitar Gently Weeps is my favorite song of George’s of the Beatles. Along with, Taxman, Don’t Bother Me, I Need You, Love You To, Blue Jay Way, and I Me Mine.
George for George made me cry.
Q tal la genialidad de George Martin, fue el quien pulió las grabaciones de The Beatles, QEPD MAESTRO ..

George Martin was the genius in the studio. He also did the instrumental arrangements for Eleanor Rigby. His importance is so vital to the Beatles development and success

This song is so powerful

The Beatles album "Love" from the Cirque du Soleil Love show is a pure masterpiece. 100x enhanced if you see the show live. What an incredible visual and acoustic candy for the soul. Magnificent.
the best version. fantastyc
What a great song!
Very lovely and please RIP George and George.

What a moving rendition!
2:16 is that Olivia Harrison in the background?
Yes
Sir George did an amazing job making George's dream song come true,truly a beatiful version who could have been in the original White album,but I still like the both versions
A masterpiece, thanks George Harrison and George Martin....both rest in peace
Rest in peace with love, Sir George Martin and Mister George Harrison.
Such a fantastic work! The acoustic version was a great choice.
George's accoustic "demo" of While My Guitar Gently Weeps" is a favorite of mine. George Martin has of course shown his musical genius over the years. But here, way too much music and sound is added to the simplicity of the George's simple and sweet rendering, gilding the lily. Like the virginal beauty of new fallen snow, some things are better left untouched.
