I saw a clip recently from Ringo telling the story of seeing George for the last time. George was terribly ill and in the hospital in Switzerland bedridden. Ringo says to George, "You know I love you, but I've got to go to Boston. My Daughter's having surgery for a brain tumor." George replied, "Do you want me to go with you?"
@Wendy Williams People, there is one one God, the True God. There is Heaven and there is Hell. It doesn't matter what we " believe " or what we " think " or what we " feel ". And Christ is THE only way to Heaven. Can all the other world religions be wrong and there is only ONE way? Yes. It doesn't matter what we believe, it's what God says. What gives me the right to say this? Because I have experienced it firsthand. And it changed me instantly and it changed my life. I don't share the details of my experience much or with just anyone. But, now, I truly love everyone and care for them, so I plant a seed. That is my purpose, that is why I am still in this world. God is not finished with me yet. That is the only reason I am still here in this world. I really don't expect many will believe me and most will probably attack me for saying such things. That is the way it is. I can only plant a seed and point to the light while those of this world try to lead to the darkness thru lies as they boost egos and arrogance. So why am I saying this here on this site now? I don't actually know the time and place I should say anything. I only feel that it should be said here and now. Maybe just one lost person will see this and allow their heart to be opened and change their life. I love music and I loved the Beatles and I especially loved George Harrison probably because I have played guitar since age 12 in 1962. I did not know George Harrison, I did not know his heart. But I was concerned about him for some reason, some feeling. I hope and pray that he is with Our Lord in Heaven. As I do everyone who has passed. I lost my eldest son on April 6th, 2016. I am certain he is with Christ in Heaven. Please, before you attack me in some way, take a few minutes and think. I just felt that I needed to share this with you, even if only one hears it. Even one out of thousands is precious. Take care everyone.
@Jon Smyth I don't understand what you're saying. What did I say that offended you? I professed my belief in God and Jesus Christ. I never said anything that would disrespect our Military, nor would I ever! Please reread my post and get back with me. Thanks.
I was lucky to have been a teenager when the Beatles appeared on the Ed Sullivan Show in 1964! I cried when I heard about death of John in 1980! We then lost George in 2001! Long live the Beatles and their beautiful music! It will last forever! By the way I’m 72!
I am 75 and I had the same experience as you did. I sat in front of the TV on the night. They first appeared on the ed Sullivan show. I recorded all the performance on a 7 inch reel to reel tape recorder.
I was 4. I started by ear playing the tune any Beatle song I could on this 2 octave Magus Organ my mother bought me, I could play by ear but couldn't read music to save my life. I will always love George and the Beatles. Thank you. ❤
He saw something that most people couldn't because they're swept along in the current of confusion; lost at the speed of life. His reference to the Bible was a very subtle clue. It's the brake. You have to step into it.

Wasn' t this video in 1997? For being the youngest of the Beetles, he appears to have lived very hard....
George changed my life at 16 with " All things must pass" . I was a teenager in a man's body. I was on my own, living in my beat up car. I left because of the physical abuse. So on the day I got my drivers license I was gone forever. Working at night going to school in the day. I laid there alone in the back seat trying to sleep, looking out at the stars , listening to the 8 track and it slowly came to me. I so scared that I would be forced to go to Vietnam. For me, I came to realize the good will pass and the bad will pass. We are he for a very short time and just be a good person. Forget politics, religion, money and greed. What you need will come across your path in life when you need it. Be blessed everyone. I never was drafted. I don't know you but yet I love you.
I shook hands with George back in the mid 90s. I said "How are you" and he said in his Liverpudlian accent "Fine, thank you". All of ten seconds but a moment I will remember the rest of my life.
I can remember vividly hearing the news that George had passed away, luckily I was on my own because I cried uncontrollably for hours. Amazing that a person you have never met could have such a profound effect on you.
When George passed, I had a feeling erupted in my mind that, The Whole World Is Mourning, The Whole World Is Weeping, The Whole World Is Crippled Inside, To You We Shall Never Ever Sight, May Your Great Soul Rest In Peace, While Your Guitar Gently Weeps.

First saw the Beatles as a school kid, and it's George I'd aways loved. Now in my 70's and devastated at his passing, I still listen to him, such a gifted talented guy, and I still love him ❤
He’s so smart- spirit- i love how he looks further into life and the value of the spirit and not materialism. We need more of this way of thinking-peace of mind- a higher state of being
There was no rock star like him. Such depth. Emerson Fittipaldi said he shared the gospel with George and he got saved. Ask and it shall be given to you.
I was in 9th grade ( many years ago) and I got nosebleed seats at madison square garden to see George on his Dark Horse tour. It was my very first concert and it was heaven. BTW: the seat cost $9.50 and I still have the ticket stub. Ahhhh, thank you George. Thankyou.
I was born in 1951. When the Beatles became famous I was 12. Yes, I was crazy in love with them. Paul was my favorite but as I grew up I was drawn to George; he was deeper than John and Paul and there were times when his music got me through some rough times in my life...miss him terribly.
Same vintage as you. George was my fave right out of the gate; just something drew me to him instead of the others. A few years after they became known in the US, I had a poster of them hanging on the wall in my bedroom. My Dad made me take it down as I'm sure he thought they would be a bad influence on me. HAH! If he only knew who and what George was and would become, he might have thought differently about it.
As a ‘normal’ teenager in 1963, I loved Paul best…he was so good looking. As I matured into adulthood I finally realised George had more to offer all of us…faith in humanity. I cried when I heard he had died..the word LOVE was embedded on every beautiful particle which amounted to George’s building blocks. I still miss him. xx
I so agree with you. I was just 12 myself when my friends heard them on the radio. We raced to the drug store when their album came out and each chose the on we thought the cutest. One chose John one chose Ringo, one Paul and I fell madly in love with George. I have loved him ever since and always will❤❤😢
God bless George. I first heard that he'd passed away on my way to work on the morning radio. I pulled into the work car park and sat for a moment taking it in. Then I cried. I couldn't stop. Concerned members of staff were knocking on the window, offering aid. I couldn't speak, I just sat and weeped! Still do sometimes when I listen to his music. Such a beautiful soul ❤
I had spoke to his wife a month before he had passed and said I was going be on the island, she said he would love to meet his fans and we set up date when we would be there and she called when I was up the hill to come on down to the property, beautiful by the way! Called when we got to the coffee shop, she answered and said " he was not doing to well today and could we reschedule", said sure we are on the island for another week, when we called back she said he passed. Very nice they were too these two strangers who took a shot in the dark to meet them!
I get that. The Beatles have brought me so much joy and yet when I’m really listening to them I often find myself crying.😂 They touch people in a way that’s hard to explain.
I was a true "hippie" in the 70s..had a baby at 18, lived off our small land and truly wanted to help humanity..went to college where i learned all about capitalism..make money ...make more money..buy buy buy.. I switched careers then went into nursing and psychology was my thing even as a child.. philosophical taks with those like me and why is man so self destructive? George was a strong light beam into ones soul that if nurtured, will glow forever..like Georges.
It's so cool that George aggreed to perform, unrehearsed, on a strange guitar. It takes a kind of humility to not worry about being perfect, and put yourself out there, warts and all.
Agreed. How touching to watch him think it over and even appear to be at a loss as to what would be of value. Like a young rock musician at an audition. So innocent.
For the people who don't know: George's mother Louise Harrison used to listen to Indian classical music on radio every Sunday when she was pregnant with George...She thought that the calm mystical music would bring peace to the baby inside her body... I guess George's love for indian classical music started from those days... BTW my heart is gently weeping for George while watching this video😭 Miss you my sweet lord ❤️
Hare Krishna dear George. You're with your Sweet Lord. Jaya Govinda Gopala Jaya Jaya. From all of us at The Inner Light 108 George Harrison tribute band 🙏🏼 🌈 🕉
Not really most of Harrison's songs were about beyond this world etc etc. So statistically it is not that unlikely that it would seem to be fit to neat narrative.
How I wish I had just 5 minutes of George’s time to talk on our own…just 5 minutes. Beautiful human being…too good for this world when we no longer care about the damage we do to our planet and…each other.
"It doesn't take that long to go from 17 to to being 57. Forty years just goes like that." You were so right about that, George. But it seems you always knew it, unlike the rest of us. What a beautiful man and how fortunate that we got to spend some time with him.
I remember from the beginning of the Beatles there was always the question who was your favorite Beatle my favorite Beatle was always George an incredible person and musician and a man who shaped his generation
george was such an intelligent, beautiful person. i miss him dearly. it's such a gift that he gave this performance impromptu. and i am eternally grateful to the PA who had a guitar on-hand for him!
This is the result of a person who was really educated with true values, being respectful, being humble, being inclusive, respecting different cultures, being cultured. Resulted in a successful and internally functional person, he always knew where he came from. Nothing more pleasant that hear those amazing advices and that beautiful message, Rest in Peace George Harrison the rest of his career is history.
Years ago in 1970 I worked at Two Penn Plaza in NYC! I went outside for lunch around MSG! They were selling Concert tickets for Bangladeshi! I asked how much they cost I thought they were a little too much! I regretted till this day not buying those tickets! R.I.P. George!
I was always a big fan but never realized how brilliant he was. Besides his enormous musical talent, he was very intelligent and articulate and had a profound sense of life. And just or more significant, he was a really good person. My thanks to John Fugelsang and VHI for this amazing video.
Yeh, he was far from being the quiet Beatle. When he got going, he became very outspoken! Great Man! He 's up in Paradise with John and all his family & friends, especially, Our LORD Jesus! 💒🛐✝❤🚶🏿♂🚶🏿♂🚶🏿♂🚶🏿♂ 🌞
@@garychambers5850enough with the Lord bit. Keep your beliefs out of this, this is about George, not your platform for you to preach what you believe to be true.
@@garychambers5850 He was in fact a great devotee of the Lord (Krishna), so actually, he must be somewhere in Goloka Vrindaban serving the Supreme Personality of Godhead in his eternal abode🙂
One of the most spiritual, interesting, contemplative and brilliant men England has ever produced. He is, was and will always be a national treasure. There will never be anyone quite like him.
His shyness and uneasiness... Well, it's not lack of prowess, but humility where George Harrison is concerned. He has never enjoyed the spotlight because he understood why we are here, and it ain't to make big impressions on an audience that as of late, doesn't even know what it wants. Our purpose in this life is to learn, become enlightened along the way, and to spread that knowledge and some kindness along the way. Thank you George, for just being you. I loved The Beatles, but I love you a whole lot more.
AS a little boy born in 1967, The Beatles were my guide, their music actually raised me as most of the time my parents were preoccupied with all of their friends, which was fine, as I was surrounded by hippies. For some reason, I was the house DJ by the age of four and the Beatles albums, the artwork and the words taught me how to be a human being. To this day, I am a little bit of Paul, a little bit Ringo, a bit of John, but a lot of George in my spirit. This man was a beautiful man in far too many ways to even comprehend.
I too was born in 1967. So many things happened that year, there have been documentaries made about it. My Mom always had the radio on. I soaked all of it in from a baby and became a musician. We used to listen to my Mom's Beatle 45's and I knew those songs were special then. To listen to them now as a 54 year old musician - it's just still so amazing to try to get my mind around the chord progressions and the arrangements. It's what I love about music. People classify music, try to quantify what pop music is, what rock music is. But when its crafted from the soul, its really something human.
Playing "All Things Must Pass" as the last song of his last performance was an interesting coincidence. George was inspirational in so many ways and to so many. We all see life a bit more positively because of him. Thank you George. May you rest in peace.
John was actually mistaken though. This was not George’s final public performance. That occurred at a church in Memphis, TN in early 1998 at Carl Perkins’ funeral. George performed the song “Your True Love”. That was the last song he ever played live anywhere.
It is actually kind of cute how nervous George was when playing guitar but each song he would slowly become just more inside the songs. Wonderful songwriter
He wasn't nervous. He was fighting a terminal illness that he has fought against for along time.... It showed in his face. He was in pain and exhausted. But oh so brave. We sure miss him.....
I dont see it as he discovered bliss. I think he understood that life is suffering, and he sought bliss via meditation and esoteric knowledge in order to find relief from human suffering rather than, like many ppl, who live in denial and superficial addictions workaholism, happy how are yous. He had emotional intelligence in spades too.
That was beautiful what you wrote. And so true of George. I get teary eyed listening to his songs. I miss seeing him and his music. He never got a big head, especially after his “ solo” writings/ singing. He would feel so happy inside, not flaunt his talent.
George died a month and a half after my father, I found it hard to believe that George was gone, I always felt great admiration for him, for his humility, for his pure humanity and for that sense of humor that made him unique.
I am so please I came across this clip. George was my favorite Beatle and Something was the first song I ever sang in front of an audience. I loved him then and still do. Rest in Peace dear George.
Listening to this interview… You can’t be anything but, mesmerized by George speaking…Everything he has to say has calm and meaning…One thing to note were how beautiful Ravi and his wife were…to remain so quiet and lovingly there for George…It was a moment in time that they recognized as being so special…George came out in public there…not for himself…he did it to promote Ravi…The interviewer was stepping up to his own greatness..He did not interrupt George or interject himself into what was flowing…We all wanted to hear and know absolutely everything George was willing to offer up..This was all part of a beautiful universe speaking moment….
He left us all too soon. he had more to put down on records.. I believe he's still writing and recording in Heaven. Up their, The Lord lets you do the things you love, things that please you ❤ 💒✝🌞
I think everyone would be a better person and the world would be a better place by just listening to the words and songs of George Harrison...we will always love and miss him.
I grew up in The Beatles era, always been a big fan and loved their music. But, never really realised how talented George was as a musician/ songwriter. I now listened to his music more than ever! Such a spirited man.Sadly missed!
George was awesome and pure. He had a beautiful heart and mind. He was so free with the wind. He was so right. What are we doing with this planet? We are killing it with murder, adultery, anger and many other evil things. If he were here today, he would be so heartbroken with the way the world is today.
George Harrison has written some of the most beautiful songs ever recorded in music history namely SOMETHING; WHILE MY GUITAR GENTLY WEEPS; WITHIN YOU WITHOUT OUT ; HERE COMES THE SUN; MY SWEET LORD among others ! Surpasses even some of the Lennon/McCartney songs !
When “All Things Must Pass” came out, I realized the pure talent that had been smothered or overlooked by Lennon-McCartney! George deserved the long-overdue recognition that masterpiece brought!🙌🏻❤️
I don't believe that the songs should be set against each other in a competitive way. I believe the music was created by all of them and belonged to all of them.
His guitar also made the difference on many Lennon/McCartney songs. Yesterday wouldn't have been complete without that 4 note intro and other embellishments. Too many to mention.
@@annmonica2253 True! I just watched the “Get Back” 6-hour special, which was excellent! When George walked out, and rightfully so, it was like the band was irrevocably incomplete! Thankfully, he came back!!
I still have the original "All Things Must Pass" vinyl box set, great selection of songs. George is so articulate in this video, and shares things about fame to make it easier to understand. His comments on Elvis are understanding and insightful. George's comments also apply to those of us who did not have fame in his sense, but still seek what life offers--those moments of bliss and peace, or shelter in the storm. His songs, like the Beatles and those they inspired, were the soundtrack that began a few years into my childhood and have lasted all my life. I remember first seeing the Beatles on Black and White TV, on Ed Sullivan in the 60's, and young at the time when all kids my age had buzz cuts, I laughed at their hair. What amazed me was how their music evolved and became the foundation for album art and so many niches of American and International rock. And George's music, and the Beatles, crossed the "generation gap", my parents who grew up in the Great Depression and WWII and grooved on Glen Miller and later Elvis, also loved the Beatles when my oldest brother started grooving on them. So wonderful seeing this video. Even hearing George speak, a great calm spreads over me, he teaches as he speaks, and you can tell he also learns as he lives. I know his spirit has been added to the heavens and is an influence, as are my parents and brothers (RIP), in our lives and bring light in the dark, and shade in the heat of the day.
Why am I sitting here tearing up watching this? I feel such a common soul in George and so happy we shared the earth at the same time. RIP, to the world’s best friend.
Of all the Beatles, George was the one with real, philosophical depth. All four Beatles were/are musical geniuses, but George had a "life depth" that truly speaks to me.
I am glad to have listened to this interview with George Harrison. It's so uplifting to witness a person of such fame and fortune to find his journey into himself. He continues to be an inspiration to young generations who are going through similar way of life.
What a treasure this video is. I don't think George ever even thought of himself as a "good example," He was just too humble for that, but that was what he was. If the world was full of George Harrisons, or people that just emulated George, it would be such a kind and gentle, wonderful place.
George is so right, 40 years go by so fast. He could have had a huge ego but he never did. He had a good understanding about people and life. I was 8 in 1964, the year my love of music began.
I ne er imagen that I would bea fan of George but I dud. It took me more than 25 years while I was plating in banda in México City. To my surprise I heard that George luje music if Los Panchos, I would never imagen he like that tupé of music. George you were and still are amazing. RB. fan
Thank you John Fugelstein,am aged 65 & the Beatles (all of them) remain in my consious till now. John Lennon, George Harrison still live with us🙏 Sounds crazy i know yet it’s NOT. My love pervades skin, bone, all of my atma inside out are with you & like minded ones. Lotsa love, Rekha🙏🕉🪔
I had seen this clip many years ago. Now at 67 I appreciate George Harrison more than ever! A wise soul whose legacy still inspires me to appreciate each minute of life!
I grew up with my dad listening to the beatles, full blast, bass pumping, on repeat. Back then I didn't appreciate just how great they were and only truly gave them a good listen and time a few months ago, I've not stopped listening to them since. I have so much to learn about them, so REALLY enjoyed this interview and learning about George. Each one of them have such soothing voiced, I could listen to them talk all day. This was a really lovely interview and it's clear how special this man was. Also loved when he sung, particularly the 1st song 💞
They were the best give “Happiness Is A Warm Gun”and “Yer Blues” two Lennon Blues sons.There’s a video here with Eric Clapton guitar Keith Richards bass and Mitch Mitchell on drums and Lennon’s Dirty Mac band they play Yer Blues It’s Awesome… ..
Me. I have dementia, which amongst other things, heightens the emotions. I cry alot these days, especially when I see something like this. RIP John & George 😭😭😭😭
This is pure gold. I'm so glad I came across this. His philosophy was just what I needed to hear today to get thru some personal things with aging parents and loss.
As someone who was born in Liverpool England 🏴 and a child of the sixties I was born in 1967 I’m also a Beatles fan I’ve never seen this clip now a tribute to my favourite Beatles member RIP George Harrison

You painted a good picture, I feel l do know you a little bit already. Glad you survived and came out the other side. God Bless

There was no rock star like him. Such depth. Emerson Fittipaldi said he shared the gospel with George and he got saved. Ask and it shall be given to you.
I was in 9th grade ( many years ago) and I got nosebleed seats at madison square garden to see George on his Dark Horse tour. It was my very first concert and it was heaven. BTW: the seat cost $9.50 and I still have the ticket stub. Ahhhh, thank you George. Thankyou.
I was born in 1951. When the Beatles became famous I was 12. Yes, I was crazy in love with them. Paul was my favorite but as I grew up I was drawn to George; he was deeper than John and Paul and there were times when his music got me through some rough times in my life...miss him terribly.
Same vintage as you. George was my fave right out of the gate; just something drew me to him instead of the others. A few years after they became known in the US, I had a poster of them hanging on the wall in my bedroom. My Dad made me take it down as I'm sure he thought they would be a bad influence on me. HAH! If he only knew who and what George was and would become, he might have thought differently about it.
As a ‘normal’ teenager in 1963, I loved Paul best…he was so good looking. As I matured into adulthood I finally realised George had more to offer all of us…faith in humanity. I cried when I heard he had died..the word LOVE was embedded on every beautiful particle which amounted to George’s building blocks. I still miss him. xx
I agree i also was born in 1951. I love george
I so agree with you. I was just 12 myself when my friends heard them on the radio. We raced to the drug store when their album came out and each chose the on we thought the cutest. One chose John one chose Ringo, one Paul and I fell madly in love with George. I have loved him ever since and always will❤❤😢
George was the one truest human..he cared about humanity more than most..even more than John.❤
God bless George. I first heard that he'd passed away on my way to work on the morning radio. I pulled into the work car park and sat for a moment taking it in. Then I cried. I couldn't stop. Concerned members of staff were knocking on the window, offering aid. I couldn't speak, I just sat and weeped! Still do sometimes when I listen to his music. Such a beautiful soul ❤
I had spoke to his wife a month before he had passed and said I was going be on the island, she said he would love to meet his fans and we set up date when we would be there and she called when I was up the hill to come on down to the property, beautiful by the way! Called when we got to the coffee shop, she answered and said " he was not doing to well today and could we reschedule", said sure we are on the island for another week, when we called back she said he passed. Very nice they were too these two strangers who took a shot in the dark to meet them!
I wish I could hold you and cry together. Love.
Had had some lovely songs. This is Love is one of my favourites, and lesser known ones such as Here Comes the Moon.
I get that. The Beatles have brought me so much joy and yet when I’m really listening to them I often find myself crying.😂
They touch people in a way that’s hard to explain.
Just reading your story makes relive that day. I cried off and on that day and for many others. Tears in my eyes now😢
Can’t imagine any “star” talking so deep about life today. Miss this level of thinking
I was a true "hippie" in the 70s..had a baby at 18, lived off our small land and truly wanted to help humanity..went to college where i learned all about capitalism..make money ...make more money..buy buy buy..
I switched careers then went into nursing and psychology was my thing even as a child.. philosophical taks with those like me and why is man so self destructive?
George was a strong light beam into ones soul that if nurtured, will glow forever..like Georges.
I’m 72 years old and I still have a crush on George. George has always been the best looking Beatle and wrote the most beautiful songs.
George passed on the same day as my Dad. One of the saddest days of my life 😅😢
"hold fast" (1Thess.5 :21, the Bible)!!!
The sound quality is absolutely amazing
George nailed it ... Bless you on your journey George Harrison
It's so cool that George aggreed to perform, unrehearsed, on a strange guitar. It takes a kind of humility to not worry about being perfect, and put yourself out there, warts and all.
Sitting down with George Harrison for an hour, chatting, and then watching him try to figure out what to play......priceless!
Agreed. How touching to watch him think it over and even appear to be at a loss as to what would be of value. Like a young rock musician at an audition. So innocent.
That’s my dream 🤣
A wonderful man.
I first saw George and the other Beatles on the Ed Sullivan show in 1964! Love George R.I.P.!
The best group and they were fun. Sadness when Roy passed. He had a magic voice ✨️ 😍
It’s hard to believe George has been gone 22 years
He was an absolute genius, something I didn't realize when i was younger, or when he was younger. Unique and precious.
For the people who don't know: George's mother Louise Harrison used to listen to Indian classical music on radio every Sunday when she was pregnant with George...She thought that the calm mystical music would bring peace to the baby inside her body...
I guess George's love for indian classical music started from those days...
BTW my heart is gently weeping for George while watching this video😭
Miss you my sweet lord ❤️
Nice info. Thanks. And I think you're right. I could name some outstanding young artists who were surely listening fine music before being born.
Louise is George's sister, not mother.
@@georgeprice4212 George's mother's name was also Louise...
@@marjanp4784 but she has passed away, though.
@@georgeprice4212 are you blank in the head? Did you read my comment? I was talking about past....
"Turn off your mind, relax, and float downstream." That's such a beautiful sentence and thought that just naturally came out of him.
Idk if this is a joke or not so ignore my comment if so, but that’s a lyric from a Beatles song - tomorrow never knows. It was a John song
Hare Krishna dear George. You're with your Sweet Lord. Jaya Govinda Gopala Jaya Jaya. From all of us at The Inner Light 108 George Harrison tribute band 🙏🏼 🌈 🕉
Hats off to John Fugelsang for making George feel so comfortable to speak openly and sing.
This video is gold.
It is pure gold.
I agree with you sir
Thank You for uploading This. George Was My Favorite Beatle and Beyond.
How chilling that the last performance he did was to sing 'All things must pass'. It is like he knew he was not long for this world...
At this juncture he probably did.
Not really most of Harrison's songs were about beyond this world etc etc. So statistically it is not that unlikely that it would seem to be fit to neat narrative.
He actually lived four more years,.
youre reading too much into it.
He released "All Things Must Pass" in 1970, got cancer in 1997 and, sadly, died in 2001
How I wish I had just 5 minutes of George’s time to talk on our own…just 5 minutes. Beautiful human being…too good for this world when we no longer care about the damage we do to our planet and…each other.
"It doesn't take that long to go from 17 to to being 57. Forty years just goes like that."
You were so right about that, George.
But it seems you always knew it, unlike the rest of us.
What a beautiful man and how fortunate that we got to spend some time with him.
He was always wise beyond his years.
@@scottharrison9083 well said !
Or 67. I was 17 a blink ago. Now, I'm 67 and broken.
An Icon, a legend, a humanitarian, describing Harrison as anything less would be sinful.
I remember from the beginning of the Beatles there was always the question who was your favorite Beatle my favorite Beatle was always George an incredible person and musician and a man who shaped his generation
george was such an intelligent, beautiful person. i miss him dearly. it's such a gift that he gave this performance impromptu. and i am eternally grateful to the PA who had a guitar on-hand for him!
This is the result of a person who was really educated with true values, being respectful, being humble, being inclusive, respecting different cultures, being cultured. Resulted in a successful and internally functional person, he always knew where he came from.
Nothing more pleasant that hear those amazing advices and that beautiful message, Rest in Peace George Harrison
the rest of his career is history.
Years ago in 1970 I worked at Two Penn Plaza in NYC! I went outside for lunch around MSG! They were selling Concert tickets for Bangladeshi! I asked how much they cost I thought they were a little too much! I regretted till this day not buying those tickets! R.I.P. George!
I was always a big fan but never realized how brilliant he was. Besides his enormous musical talent, he was very intelligent and articulate and had a profound sense of life. And just or more significant, he was a really good person. My thanks to John Fugelsang and VHI for this amazing video.
Yeh, he was far from being the quiet Beatle. When he got going, he became very outspoken!
Great Man! He 's up in Paradise with John and all his family & friends, especially, Our LORD Jesus! 💒🛐✝❤🚶🏿♂🚶🏿♂🚶🏿♂🚶🏿♂ 🌞
More importantly look at how many generous people considered him a friend and how many there were
@@garychambers5850 I doubt it, common sense says no
@@garychambers5850enough with the Lord bit. Keep your beliefs out of this, this is about George, not your platform for you to preach what you believe to be true.
@@garychambers5850 He was in fact a great devotee of the Lord (Krishna), so actually, he must be somewhere in Goloka Vrindaban serving the Supreme Personality of Godhead in his eternal abode🙂
You Know What the Best Selling Solo Beatles Album of All Time Is??? All Things Must Pass!!!
One of the most spiritual, interesting, contemplative and brilliant men England has ever produced. He is, was and will always be a national treasure. There will never be anyone quite like him.
Well said.
A human treasure.
@@Amy-ps6hfo
His shyness and uneasiness... Well, it's not lack of prowess, but humility where George Harrison is concerned. He has never enjoyed the spotlight because he understood why we are here, and it ain't to make big impressions on an audience that as of late, doesn't even know what it wants. Our purpose in this life is to learn, become enlightened along the way, and to spread that knowledge and some kindness along the way. Thank you George, for just being you. I loved The Beatles, but I love you a whole lot more.
AS a little boy born in 1967, The Beatles were my guide, their music actually raised me as most of the time my parents were preoccupied with all of their friends, which was fine, as I was surrounded by hippies. For some reason, I was the house DJ by the age of four and the Beatles albums, the artwork and the words taught me how to be a human being. To this day, I am a little bit of Paul, a little bit Ringo, a bit of John, but a lot of George in my spirit. This man was a beautiful man in far too many ways to even comprehend.
May God Bless you! I can relate to your story with my siblings, all cool.
I have the same story.... influenced and changed my life
I too was born in 1967. So many things happened that year, there have been documentaries made about it. My Mom always had the radio on. I soaked all of it in from a baby and became a musician. We used to listen to my Mom's Beatle 45's and I knew those songs were special then. To listen to them now as a 54 year old musician - it's just still so amazing to try to get my mind around the chord progressions and the arrangements. It's what I love about music. People classify music, try to quantify what pop music is, what rock music is. But when its crafted from the soul, its really something human.
Born the same year. I understand!
@@Drummrboy67 Also 1967, in love with The Beatles, and a musician.
What a great interview. George Harrison was more special than I knew.
Playing "All Things Must Pass" as the last song of his last performance was an interesting coincidence. George was inspirational in so many ways and to so many. We all see life a bit more positively because of him. Thank you George. May you rest in peace.
Be raised in Jesus name 🙏
How beautiful....George's music was so amazing and that album was out of this world in every way.
John was actually mistaken though. This was not George’s final public performance. That occurred at a church in Memphis, TN in early 1998 at Carl Perkins’ funeral. George performed the song “Your True Love”. That was the last song he ever played live anywhere.
Well said. The Beatles in general had an over all profound and positive effect in many billions of lives, even today.
The wisdom of the Upanishads and the Bhagavad Gita are truth. This life is a suit we are wearing. You and I are spirits having a human experience.
George speaking is pure Maharishi! Transcendental, pure consciousness, sap. Hes a born meditator and teacher.
It is actually kind of cute how nervous George was when playing guitar but each song he would slowly become just more inside the songs. Wonderful songwriter
I LOVE George ❤ forever in my Heart ❤❤❤
He wasn't nervous. He was fighting a terminal illness that he has fought against for along time.... It showed in his face. He was in pain and exhausted. But oh so brave. We sure miss him.....
I admired his clarity and humbleness. He seems like he found the path; the journey's end. It must have been bliss to have found that in his life.
I dont see it as he discovered bliss. I think he understood that life is suffering, and he sought bliss via meditation and esoteric knowledge in order to find relief from human suffering rather than, like many ppl, who live in denial and superficial addictions workaholism, happy how are yous. He had emotional intelligence in spades too.
@@soulthriver-oz6470 yes I agree 👍 with you . Great comment, thank you 😊 🙏
Yes, his humility was a great statement for one of such mega celebrity status. Gentle spirit, that one.
That was beautiful what you wrote. And so true of George. I get teary eyed listening to his songs. I miss seeing him and his music. He never got a big head, especially after his “ solo” writings/ singing. He would feel so happy inside, not flaunt his talent.
bliss consciousness is what George called it. Hard work meditating is the way to get there.
Sad day but he is set free and can finally learn what is next..... I remember the joy, the excitement of the Beatles and smile.
Great personal interview with George Harrison.
I cry when I watch this man opens his heart to all of us
Touched me deeply too and when this happens my cup overflows with tears of joy. One Love.
The relationship between him, Shankar and his family is so wholesome. Just pure Love And Respect.
George died a month and a half after my father, I found it hard to believe that George was gone, I always felt great admiration for him, for his humility, for his pure humanity and for that sense of humor that made him unique.
these guys changed the world back in the 60's and beyond thanks for this
I am so please I came across this clip. George was my favorite Beatle and Something was the first song I ever sang in front of an audience. I loved him then and still do. Rest in Peace dear George.
@Hello there, how are you doing this blessed day?
George knew God perhaps like you, John. He was beyond this crazy world. Bless George.Always my favorite.
Listening to this interview…
You can’t be anything but, mesmerized by George speaking…Everything he has to say has calm and meaning…One thing to note were how beautiful Ravi and his wife were…to remain so quiet and lovingly there for George…It was a moment in time that they recognized as being so special…George came out in public there…not for himself…he did it to promote Ravi…The interviewer was stepping up to his own greatness..He did not interrupt George or interject himself into what was flowing…We all wanted to hear and know absolutely everything George was willing to offer up..This was all part of a beautiful universe speaking moment….
What a beautiful soul Greoge had, all society could learn just by watching and listening to this interview.
He left us all too soon. he had more to put down on records.. I believe he's still writing and recording in Heaven.
Up their, The Lord lets you do the things you love, things that please you ❤ 💒✝🌞
I think everyone would be a better person and the world would be a better place by just listening to the words and songs of George Harrison...we will always love and miss him.
Absolutely. Beautifully said
@@GodsArtGallery111 wrong
it's just pop music get hold of yourself.
@@moaningpheromones Wasn't referring to just the music aspect...maybe hold yourself a little less.
I agree he exudes humanity peace ✌ to everyone reading this 🙏 ❤
I grew up in The Beatles era, always been a big fan and loved their music. But, never really realised how talented George was as a musician/ songwriter. I now listened to his music more than ever! Such a spirited man.Sadly missed!
Wow《☆》Fantastic interview👍🏾🥤🤳A true Showman RIP George Harrison✌🏼😎☯️
George was awesome and pure. He had a beautiful heart and mind. He was so free with the wind. He was so right. What are we doing with this planet? We are killing it with murder, adultery, anger and many other evil things. If he were here today, he would be so heartbroken with the way the world is today.
Actually, George was no saint and quite an adulterer
How do you think Jesus Christ thinks about today. I'm sure he, too, is crying. 😢But I'm sure very happy to have George with him today. ❤
I remember my mom playing the record All Things Must Pass at Christmas time like this was our Christmas music!!!
Omg. I love George. So gifted and humble.
Chalk and cheese with Paul, in the humility stakes. No wonder they clashed.
✔️🌹💕💕
Thank you George. Hope I get to meet you next time around.
George Harrison has written some of the most beautiful songs ever recorded in music history namely
SOMETHING; WHILE MY GUITAR GENTLY WEEPS; WITHIN YOU WITHOUT OUT ; HERE COMES THE SUN;
MY SWEET LORD among others ! Surpasses even some of the Lennon/McCartney songs !
When “All Things Must Pass” came out, I realized the pure talent that had been smothered or overlooked by Lennon-McCartney! George deserved the long-overdue recognition that masterpiece brought!🙌🏻❤️
So true. Life, most of the time is ‘unfair’, and that’s so sad.
I don't believe that the songs should be set against each other in a competitive way. I believe the music was created by all of them and belonged to all of them.
His guitar also made the difference on many Lennon/McCartney songs. Yesterday wouldn't have been complete without that 4 note intro and other embellishments. Too many to mention.
@@annmonica2253 True! I just watched the “Get Back” 6-hour special, which was excellent! When George walked out, and rightfully so, it was like the band was irrevocably incomplete! Thankfully, he came back!!
I still have the original "All Things Must Pass" vinyl box set, great selection of songs. George is so articulate in this video, and shares things about fame to make it easier to understand. His comments on Elvis are understanding and insightful.
George's comments also apply to those of us who did not have fame in his sense, but still seek what life offers--those moments of bliss and peace, or shelter in the storm.
His songs, like the Beatles and those they inspired, were the soundtrack that began a few years into my childhood and have lasted all my life. I remember first seeing the Beatles on Black and White TV, on Ed Sullivan in the 60's, and young at the time when all kids my age had buzz cuts, I laughed at their hair.
What amazed me was how their music evolved and became the foundation for album art and so many niches of American and International rock. And George's music, and the Beatles, crossed the "generation gap", my parents who grew up in the Great Depression and WWII and grooved on Glen Miller and later Elvis, also loved the Beatles when my oldest brother started grooving on them.
So wonderful seeing this video. Even hearing George speak, a great calm spreads over me, he teaches as he speaks, and you can tell he also learns as he lives. I know his spirit has been added to the heavens and is an influence, as are my parents and brothers (RIP), in our lives and bring light in the dark, and shade in the heat of the day.
Thank you George for all your wonderful contributions to this life on Earth. We are all richer for it.
I love how he references Bob Dylan lyrics from 1966 at this time
over 30 years later
George is a game-changer for me. His message has runs deep with me.
Why am I sitting here tearing up watching this? I feel such a common soul in George and so happy we shared the earth at the same time. RIP, to the world’s best friend.
Of all the Beatles, George was the one with real, philosophical depth. All four Beatles were/are musical geniuses, but George had a "life depth" that truly speaks to me.
Yes, I feel that way too !
He spoke to my soul
I am glad to have listened to this interview with George Harrison. It's so uplifting to witness a person of such fame and fortune to find his journey into himself. He continues to be an inspiration to young generations who are going through similar way of life.
What a treasure this video is. I don't think George ever even thought of himself as a "good example," He was just too humble for that, but that was what he was. If the world was full of George Harrisons, or people that just emulated George, it would be such a kind and gentle, wonderful place.
George was a humble man with a peaceful presence he possessed an natural talent he was a good gentle kind man a one-off
If not a musician,a wonderful spiritual teacher.
If you like George's perspective, look up the interview of George Michael on Parkinson. He was another lovely soul.
HIs casual mention of the Bible was brilliant.
George and Roy were both humble yet so famous.
How we can all learn from George today. ❤️ Such a sweet brilliant human. I love you George. ❤️
George is so right, 40 years go by so fast. He could have had a huge ego but he never did. He had a good understanding about people and life. I was 8 in 1964, the year my love of music began.
I ne er imagen that I would bea fan of George but I dud. It took me more than 25 years while I was plating in banda in México City. To my surprise I heard that George luje music if Los Panchos, I would never imagen he like that tupé of music.
George you were and still are amazing. RB.
fan
Yes indeed..i was 6 listening to an eclectic group of genres..but George was certainly on that list. Ty George❤
Thank you John Fugelstein,am aged 65 & the Beatles (all of them) remain in my consious till now. John Lennon, George Harrison still live with us🙏 Sounds crazy i know yet it’s NOT. My love pervades skin, bone, all of my atma inside out are with you & like minded ones. Lotsa love, Rekha🙏🕉🪔
Just wonderful! What a beautiful soul he was. He made a difference in my this world. ❤️❤️❤️
I had seen this clip many years ago. Now at 67 I appreciate George Harrison more than ever! A wise soul whose legacy still inspires me to appreciate each minute of life!
What a Treasure. What a Beautiful Human Being. Such wisdom and Love that is missed!
I don't really know if he knew how much his music made us happy!
I grew up with my dad listening to the beatles, full blast, bass pumping, on repeat. Back then I didn't appreciate just how great they were and only truly gave them a good listen and time a few months ago, I've not stopped listening to them since. I have so much to learn about them, so REALLY enjoyed this interview and learning about George. Each one of them have such soothing voiced, I could listen to them talk all day. This was a really lovely interview and it's clear how special this man was. Also loved when he sung, particularly the 1st song 💞
They were the best give “Happiness Is A Warm Gun”and “Yer Blues” two Lennon
Blues sons.There’s a video here with Eric Clapton guitar Keith Richards bass and
Mitch Mitchell on drums and Lennon’s Dirty Mac band they play Yer Blues It’s
Awesome…
..
George was a beautiful soul, totally spirit filled, brilliant musician
Who else was in tears by the end of All Things Must Pass?!
Me. I have dementia, which amongst other things, heightens the emotions. I cry alot these days, especially when I see something like this. RIP John & George 😭😭😭😭
Beautiful man! Great song writer!
Always thinking of others first. That was Mr. Harrison
How can anyone possibly not love George? I love him a bit more every single day. Bless you, dear George.
This is pure gold. I'm so glad I came across this. His philosophy was just what I needed to hear today to get thru some personal things with aging parents and loss.
Thank you for those words Laura , I needed to hear something positive today as well. Take care, Mj

Never saw this before..., great to be reminded of what a great soul George was and is🙏
Smiling and struggling not to choke up at the same time watching him play. He was good for the whole world.
Clear. Open. Humble. So gifted. Love him forever
Love you George. If you are there, remember me. Thank you for the music and the wisdom.
A great interview with a lovely inspirational bloke .
George was always my very favorite Beatle. Truly a very good soul he was. Loved his solo songs. I feel this interview to my core
