Great video, but let’s not forget Peter Frampton, who played acoustic on My Sweet Lord, as well as a few other tracks. There are photos of Peter from the ATMP recording sessions.
Hey man!! I’ve been a fan for many years haha. I got Pete in there towards the end because he wasn’t credited. But you would not believe how many people are fighting me on this! Apparently Bobby Whitlock says he didn’t play on it, so there are a lot of people who question his contributions. I put a long comment on Whitlocks page asking him to watch the video and comment on it. We’ll see what happens. But thanks for watching I consider your blessing high praise indeed!!

I think Frampton's contribution was exaggerated by Peter himself, he was striving to make a name for himself
He still talks about it now though. Why would he need to “make a name for himself” now? I think that he was brought in later for overdubs and that’s why the core group didn’t see him. Not sure what all this hate on Frampton is about. Great guitarist!
@@TheGuitarHistorian it’s simply about accuracy - nothing else & don’t suggest otherwise ,,that’s very disingenuous on your part.
What you didn’t emphasize was that Bobby Whitlock, who lived at George’s estate, was asked to be a core member of the band. It was Bobby Whitlock who made the suggestion of bringing in Pete Drake. If you really want to be in the know, visit Bobby Whitlock‘s UA-cam channel. As for Dave Mason, he played the acoustic guitar on Jimi Hendrix’s All Along the Watchtower. He also played lead guitar on Graham Nash’s song, Military Madness.
Thanks didn't know either and have been living and breathing Beatles,Stones,Dylan etc. since about' when I first heard My Sweet Lord and What Is Life on the Radio.Speaking of the upcoming box set of All Things Must Pass is there gonna be a lot of good interesting new stuff or just Demo's and inferior versions of many of the Classics?
@@vernpascal1531 If you go to Bobby Whitlock’s UA-cam channel, which is hosted by Bobby and his wife Coco Carmel, you’ll learn so much about George Harrison and Eric Clapton, it’ll make your head spin. Bobby’s an incredibly interesting guy who posts almost every day.
The real sleeper is Dave Mason. He’s a wonderful musician: guitarist, songwriter, and vocalist who is still very active today. Watch him in 2022. He spends most of his life on the road playing for music for folks like you and I.
P.S. Excuse me, I misspoke: Dave Mason played lead guitar on Graham Nash‘s song, Military Madness, not Chicago. Best wishes.
Mason also played a series of live shows with Badfinger. Outstanding stuff
@@autistichead8137 Very interesting. Thank you.

This album is one of the few that never leaves my iPod. I love every song, even the jam songs. To say it's a great album is such an understatement. George is dearly missed.
Carl Radle’s bass on the Layla record is simply amazing. It is so good, so essential to the success of the songs, that nobody talks about it. A shame.
So true! Good bass playing is one of those skills that only musicians value, critical to the music!!
Carl Radle's bass on Let It Rain is EPIC!
Carl Radle has been my bass icon for as long as I can remember. He is so solid holding down the bottom. Listen to Delaney and Bonnie are friends on tour with Eric Clapton. He did a lot of work with Leon Russell and the studio and on tour. And let's not forget mad dogs and Englishmen, and Derek and the dominos. He has one song writing credit that I am aware of and I believe the tune is hard to say goodbye. It is on Delaney and Bonnie's first album 1969 called home. That was their album recorded with Stax. Tragic ending for Carl, for my money, he was the most rock solid, riff type bassist of the era. RIP Carl and George.
Once again, Bobby Whitlock... said that Stephen Stills played bass on “Let It Rain”... with a pick.
@@MegaSickcat let It rain...and also Why does LOVE GOT to be so sad?
Carl was amazing ly melódic !!!
We are talking about 1970
George was terrific. Best of the group when the 4 went solo.
Well for example there is the album Plastic Ono Band which is one of the greatest rock albums....by anyone. George is great too.....no need to rank them
Imagine? Woman? Give Peace a Chance? Starting Over?
@@4brens i agree they are all great, interesting that the first 2 albums by all 4 were great but they all nose dived on the 3rd album (in my opinion) this album cost me 1 weeks rent at the time and i did beg, steal and borrow to afford it
What a star studded work of brilliance. I have to agree with the many Bobby Whitlock comments. Bobby Whitlock's influence and contributions on this body of work is immeasurable. Bobby Whitlock was somewhat unrecognized in not only All Things Must Pass, but the likes of Delaney and Bonnie, Eric Clapton, EC w/Derek and The Domino's, The Stones....and on and on. Bobby Whitlock was THE collaborating talent of that time and era.
George Harrison and this iconic album will never be forgotten.
I'm very happy that the bass player "Klaus Voorman" was actaully mentioned in this video!
I’m thinking about doing a whole doc on Klaus. Really interesting guy.
George was and still is my favorite Beatle.
Bobby Whitlock was one of the CORE Members of this album, he is all over this album,
He is talked about in this video so.......
Bobby Whitlock ROCKS!
Bobby Whitlock has a yt channel and talks about this album a lot.
It's a great channel, Bobby is awesome.
I look for it everyday!
Bobby was on every single session. If you want a definitive list, ask him.
@@thomasarmbruster1743 Bobby claims he played on every song but the 2 songs that Pete Drake played on.
@@dannydine5263 yep. And he was in the room for those two, IIRC.
Considering how difficult slide guitar is to play, George got incredibly good incredibly fast.
Bobby Whitlock is the man .... played on almost all tracks .....
As an addendum it might be fun to list all of the players who not only participated in the recording of ATMP but also played at the Concert for Bangladesh. I was there and was in a state of amazement when looking at the stage full of awesome players. Of course, 2 people who also showed up that day were Bob Dylan and Leon Russell. Mind-blowing stuff!
family bought this new.
My Dad put it on his Reel to reel. Played alot.
I borrowed the CD ri from the library about 10 years ago.
Tears to my eyes.
In the summer of 1979 the band I was in shared the bill California Gold, whose lineup included CCR drummer Doug Clifford and Domino Bobby Whitlock. I was able to spend about 20 minutes one on one with Mr. Whitlock during the sound checks. It was amazing. One thing Bobby told me was that the famed George O'Hara Smith Singers on ATMP were George, Eric and himself. Great work here T G H. Thanks for sharing, RNB
Lots of conflicting statements about who were the George O'Hara-Smith Singers. When ATMP first came out the GOSS were said to be simply George and Phil Specter. Later to become just George. Then George, Eric, and Bobby Whitlock. So who knows? Pick your favorite incarnation. They all sound great to me!
@@gellexi Bobby Whitlock has a website that has him reminisce about those years and ATMP in great detail. What he told me he also tells in one of his many amazing recollections of who played what and where for the entire 2 albums. He also told me the 3rd album was the recordings of the very first jam session with George and the soon to be Derek and the Dominos. I can believe that :-) Cheers, RNB
I was just beginning to play guitar in late 1970-early 1971 as a 16-year-old schoolkid. I was flat broke and couldn't afford albums. I bought my singles from a little shop in the basement arcade a bit away from where the action was in the heart of the city of Brisbane. That guy used to buy the singles from the jukebox guy when he changed the records in the jukeboxes. This meant I had to wait until the songs were out of the Top 40 if I wanted to buy 'em cheap. The guy in the basement shop scored me a second hand copy of All Things Must Pass, thank God. I began working full time in 1972, and with a wage coming in I began to buy sheet music.
A local guitarist I admired was working his way through the All Things Must Pass album music book and he said to me: "Arthur, if you wanna really improve as a guitarist get this book and work through it. Learn all the songs, even the ones you don't like. It'll pay off in the long run."
I learned the principles behind barre chords from using that book. The biggest challenge of all the songs on the album was Awaiting On You all, but eventually I got it. With my naturally good ears I was able to hear chord progressions in other hit songs that I learned from George and I was able to hit the ground running in 1972 and was playing in a couple of bands by the end of 1972.
I don't know how much input George had in the production of the album's music book, but the thoroughness in the layout, the novice versions of each song for those who don't know barre chords, having every chord's fingering displayed in chord boxes, etc, tells me that George wanted his book to be thoroughly appreciated buy everyone who bought it. By the way, that local guitarist's name was Pete Ham. NOT the Badfinger Pete Ham, but a cousin of Ken Ham, the guy who built that ark in America.
Thanks George for putting out such a helpful guide for budding guitarists.
As others have mentioned, this information is readily available FROM ONE OF THE PEOPLE WHO WAS IN EVERY SESSION---Bobby Whitlock. The other one who would know all this is E.C. but, by his own admission, is having some memory issues. Bobby was very young back then and remembers everything.
Want to know music history? Read Bobby Whitlock's autobiography. Fascinating.
BTW, some of the people who claim to have appeared on the album merely walked thru the room. Ask Bobby 'cause Dhani didn't.
He wasn’t in every session though. The overdub sessions in which George brought Peter in being among them. There is another commenter in this section who I believe clears up the issues. There is a clip of Peter talking about his work on Doris Troys album, which George produced, but the Stern folks overlay photos of Frampton from the ATMP sessions, which misled people and didn’t match what he was talking about. So I believe that some people got the impression that he was saying he played on things he did not. But it was really the Stern people’s fault for showing the wrong clips.
Subscribed before even seeing. I recently got hooked on this album and never get tired of it. 47 years old and just now discovering it..love playing along with it on acoustic guitar..the slide on "behind this locked" door is one of the most beautiful sounds I've ever heard.
that's Pete Drake on pedal steel
That said, if you have not listened to "Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs" by Derek and the Dominos you're in for a treat. Eric Clapton, Bobby Whitlock, Carl Radle, and Jim Gordon were in the core band for ATMP, and they, with the addition of Duane Allman, were Derek and the Dominos. Obviously you've heard "Layla", but the entire album is just a gem. Probably still Clapton's best work, and Whitworth split the songwriting and vocals with Eric.
I got this album when it first came out.
Still love it
Stole the record, bought it, got the tape, got the cd (twice), downloaded it, bought the re mastered cd… yeah I love it. Still have the original wax but not the cover.
Agree, but never liked the Spector production on All Things- the echo and "wall of sound" etc. It sounds artificial & cluttered.
My mother waited in line outside of LaSalle music in West Hartford Connecticut to get me this album as a present. Thanks Mom RIP.
I still have the LP in my collection. Great name for an Album. It is so true the older we get…. George was truly a creative person. Glad to be alive then….
Thank you! Great album! N definitely worth documenting its wonderful musicians!!
Wonderful, Thanks 🎸👍✌️
Interesting review of the various contributory players. Peter Frampton was actually very well known in Europe as a member of The Herd long before his stint in Humble Pie. Their first four singles are well worth a visit.
Outstanding video. So well-done!
We Love Bobby!
👍🇦🇺
Frampton said in one of his more recent interviews that George asked him to come in and add more acoustic guitars to already recorded tracks during the final mixing phase. The fact that Bobby Whitlock or other musicians involved in the initial recordings don't remember Frampton as being in the studio when they were there is totally understandable. Frampton says George called him and told him Phil wanted more acoustic guitars on a number of already recorded tracks so George and Peter went in by themselves and added more acoustic guitars to a few tracks. Why would anyone doubt this story? We know Peter had played on a Doris Troy single that George produced earlier and Frampton has a stellar reputation of his own.
Exactly! Frampton was a major star, first with the Herd, then with his band, Humble Pie. And as a guitarist he was good enough that Bill Wyman (and apparently Charlie Watts) wanted him in the Stones. Frampton says he was involved with ATMP's 'country' sessions (i.e., with pedal steel player Pete Drake - which is when Drake introduced him to the talkbox) and acoustic overdubs done by him and George after the sessions. Whitlock noted that his own involvement did not include the sessions with Drake, so he would not have seen Frampton playing. Whitlock himself has been marginalised and omitted from so much in terms of credit for all he has done over the years that he should know better than to carelessly dismiss others without knowing the facts.
Amazing! I had no idea of the crazy amount of supremely talented musicians that were involved in the production of this wonderful body of great music. Thanks for posting this video, I loved it.
Great Work. You keep me coming back to the channel! Thanks for making me put this album back on!
I really appreciate this info. And I agree about 'Awaiting on you all'. My personal favorite too.
Badfinger was one of my favorite all time bands,
You say it was a blast to put this together..it was really a blast enjoying this content. Thank you so much. I’ve loved all things must pass since the day it came out.
Thank you!! 🙏🏻
@@TheGuitarHistorian i’m obviously subbed and will be getting lots of enjoyment from your channel. I appreciate the work that it takes to put out this wonderful content. When the album came out the first time I heard it was riding around in the back of a Volkswagen bus with my adorable girlfriend and an Afghan hound named Moose. I’m pretty sure I was in ninth grade or possibly a sophomore in high school. I’d have to do some math. The jam was blasting through a couple of Altec Lansing horns.At the wheel was a guy named Bill Mitchell that everyone knew as Ralph. A killer guitar player. I kept asking him what is this, who is this? He wouldn’t tell me and I didn’t find out until a few days later. I’m a recent pancreatic cancer survivor and my new normal is not great but obviously better than the alternative. I’m a little bit of a fragile soul at this point. Lots of ggressive chemo and eight surgeries kicked my butt and changed my brain. I saw George twice during the dark horse tour when Robben Ford was playing lguitar for him at age 16. I grew up with the Beatles as an American kid. Immediately grew my hair out and got some beatle boots due to having wonderful parents. Isn’t it a pity has the same affect on me as some of the patsy cline tunes. Tears flow down my face like a river. Thanks again for the videos.👍🏻🇺🇸
@@sweetdrahthaar7951 BEST THOUGHTS GO OUT TO YOU! I DEMAND THAT YOU FEEL BETTER EVERY DAY!
@@lamper2 Thank you. I would say ma’am or sir, but you never know. My wife’s name is Lee👍🏻 she is a wonderful woman and was by far the most important part of my support system. Also in one of the top positions of the support system was my old retired bird dog Olly. And I wish you the best. I hope you get to experience lots of love, happiness, fun and of course good health. 🤠
@@sweetdrahthaar7951 I'm pulling for you man. Guys our age who remember this great music and times have a lot to be thankful for.
I felt an imaginary round of applause for Bobby Whitlock from all his UA-cam subscribers.
Yes! I hope Olivia and Dhani make the necessary corrections. This piece of beautiful music deserves nothing less. And, I have to believe, it’s what George would have wanted especially.
Great job. Quite a thorough examination and report of all the different musicians that went into helping George with this album. I was in 7th or 8th grade when this album came out. I was madly in love with this girl in my class. She used to walk past my house on her way home after school. I used to crank out "Wah Wah" when she walked by (I'd leave my parents front door wide open) in hopes that she would think I was cool for listening to the album and fall in love with me. She never gave me the time of day. What can I say? At least I tried.
If it's any consolation, she's divorced now with three kids and has gained 200 lbs. But I get a fruitcake from her every Christmas.
I cannot believe that we are about to receive the 50th anniversary release of this truly wonderful album.
I was 13 and i was enthralled and thrilled with it at the time.
It was a monumentous record and it provided me with many joyous hours of listening over the years.
I truly love this record and i cannot wait to get the super deluxe album .
Time takes many things away from us but gifts like this make life so worth living.
Thanks for such a great show.
I just discovered you and your channel now and I am so glad I did. Those were my intensely Beatles fan days. It took me years to accept their break-up so I was not too keen on ATMP. But these days I listen to tons of George Harrison's music. I like just about everything he did. I even bought Wonderwall when it was released back in the 60s. I also had the John and Yoko original album in the brown paper wrapping. So stumbling across a fellow geek is fantastic. You do a GREAT job, and you provide a GREAT service to us aged Beatle fans. Thank you.
Thank you! Really enjoyed your video! I saw Harrison live in Seattle in 1974, I was 17. Love your passion!
Incredibly put together⚡️
Excellently research and well presented! Thanks so much for doing this.
I just found your channel this morning. I'm going to watch some more for sure. Great content, excellent history lesson. Imma gonna subscribe right now.
Great video, and I'm so with him on Awaiting On You All -- it's just a brilliant song (and done beautifully at The Concert for Bangladesh.
Well done, very informative. Thank you.
super fun and interesting post and I am an old dyed in the wool Beatles freak. thanks bud.
Just stumbled onto the channel and what an episode to start with. I have loved George and all things must pass since it came out and learned much of my slide playing from emulating George. Thanks for this insight and although I was already aware of all of it the walk down memory lane was invigorating at 70 and in my opinion it might help future generations of musicians to know of the genius and simple beauty of the man George Harrison.
Thanks so much for the comprehensive & entertaining look at such sprawling recording sessions. I was 10 years old when my dad brought a copy home the week it was released. George was always my fave & I played this hundreds of times in the months that followed.
In fact, I'm on my 5th copy & have never stopped listening to it. And I still get chills when I hear the strum of the opening chords. I consider ATMP 1 of a few touchstone albums (Tommy, Layla, ZoSo ) released during one of the most significant periods of rock n roll.
Great work, I like how you approach your subject, down to earth but filled with juicy details.
It was more than a blast to witness this feature !!!
This was awesome! Love the research you put into this.
I love your channel, man!! Your storytelling is sooo good, it gives me goosebumps!! 😎👍👍👍👍
Just found your channel. Love this first video about George. He was truly an amazing musician with a beautiful soul.
Thank you! I have many more check out my playlists
Great album.
Thanks again, uplifting with good information [!!]?
Excellent vid.
i love this so interesting loving your work from shaz in the uk.
Great job on this exploration! I've often thought George really sang better than ever on "All Things Must Pass," maybe because he felt more at ease without Paul and John in the studio.
His vocals were very soulful, which I agree was a side we hadn’t seen much in The Beatles, except maybe “Something” and “I Me Mine.”
Great video... been waiting for this one... excellent..the song by song exploration in track order was the best way to go...i also like the description of this epic album as "George's middle-finger to Paul"... very poetic...so detailed I remembered to subscribe to your channel this time...just one minor error...at 11:23 mark, you mentioned Gary Brooker would go on to front Procol Harum, as if they were a new band just forming... actually, he'd been fronting Procol Harum since 1967 (whiter shade of pale! How could you forget?)...and he was playing with many of the musicians who became Procol Harum since 1963 in a band called the Paramounts...yes Robin Trower was a member too...you can find their old 45s on UA-cam (same U.K. label as the Beatles: Parlophone)....but that's a minor error...great video on a classic album ...now I'm looking forward to your Badfinger video....hope you focus on their musical importance more than their tragedy...after all, they were one of the earliest examples of what would be known as power pop...and please make a case for why they should be in the rock and roll Hall of Fame.... have a great day and keep rockin'....
Yes I realized I’d made that script error after I rewatched it. I’ve actually covered Procol at length in my Robin Trower video, check the links in the video for it.
@@TheGuitarHistorian will do and thanks again...
Well done. Your natural in front of the camera which makes your presentations all the worth while!
This channel is so interesting.Not being familiar with this album I'm going to check it out armed with all this excellent knowledge,thanks GH.
Wow are you in for a treat
Have you listened to it yet? Such an amazing record that gets better with every listen. So much music to digest.
@@jxchamb yes went through each track on here.Tour de Force.
Thanks, this is the first video I have seen and I subbed right away.
Every song a diamond
Absolutely THE best solo effort from any of the former Beatles. It has been a constant in my life since the first day I heard it. It's great to see the 50th anniversary release is coming soon. Wonderful video - Thanks :-)
Thank you that was really interesting. So now I’ll just have to wait for my anniversary album to arrive 😊
Tell me about it! I’m getting the full one so I’ll unbox and do a review when it comes out.
How can a discussion of My Sweet Lord-or even bring up Delanie and Bonnie-without even a mention of the great Bobby Whitlock? Actually, he was all over the album. Bobby was also responsible for recommending Pete Drake to George.
He’s in the video.
@@TheGuitarHistorian What about all the backing vocals on My Sweet Lord and pump organ? Again you missed him all over the album.
Bobby plays grand piano on "Beware of Darkness", right?
What a great album!
I'm enjoying your work. Please keep it going.
Thank you! I intend to
Good Work
Bobby Whitlock was there for the entire recording of ATMP and says Frampton did not play on My Sweet Lord. Whitlock has a great memory and so far nobody has challenged his recall.
Frampton has.
@@TheGuitarHistorian Frampton just said he played on it, he didn't challenge Whitlock's memory.
By simply saying he played on it, is he NOT questioning it? I don’t think anyone has asked Frampton the question, “Do you know what Bobby Whitlock has said?” In fact I don’t recall hearing him ever mention Whitlock. What happened is that Frampton was called back after the main recording had been done because “Phil [Spector] wants more guitars,” as Peter has reported George told him. So they were never in the same room at the same time. The problem is that Bobby has said, “Frampton didn’t play on it,” rather than saying what he SHOULD have said which is, “I didn’t personally see Frampton play on it.” Because it makes it look like Bobby is calling Peter Frampton a liar. And there’s no reason on Earth that Frampton would lie about it. He has nothing to gain by it.
Thank u
A good place to go for "who-played-on-what" info is Bobby Whitlock's UA-cam channel, and the interviews dedicated to ATMP. He missed very few of the sessions, and while he of course plays up his own role, you can glean plenty of tangential knowledge on the subject from his stories..
Unfortunately I had no idea that Bobby had a UA-cam channel until people started commenting on this video. I’ve watched quite a few of his stories and I’m planning on doing a part 2 with added info at some point.
@@TheGuitarHistorian well done
This was a lovely and fresh look at ATMP. I played the sh!t out of that album when it came out. It's a touchstone for a very pivotal and tumultuous time in my life (13 years old).
Thank you. I had no idea all these musicians were on this amazing album
I bought the album upon release when l was a kid. I recall it's 'high' price at the time (around $10) as it was a 3 LP set.
This is great, thank. It is so important to keep many of these not-so-familiar names visible.
The 'house band' for 'ATMP was the former Delaney & Bonnie band. Bobby Whitlock, who'd moved over to the UK at the suggestion of Booker T & the MG's guitarist Steve Cropper - who also bought Whitlock the plane ticket - was staying with Clapton, penning tunes. Former D&B bandmate Carl Radle agreed to join them. They wanted Jim Keltner for drums but he was busy with Gabor Szabo. When Jim Gordon turned up in London they enlisted him - thus Derek & the Dominos, which was the Delaney & Bonnie rhythm section. Horn players Jim Price and Bobby Keys - as you note - also came from D&B's band (then went on to the Stones). BTW, the name 'Derek' came from pianist Tony Ashton, whose band Ashton, Gardner & Dyke (evolved from the Remo Four, a Beatles fave) were opening for D&B on tour, called Eric 'Derek'. A couple years later, Ashton screwed up his introduction of Eric's new band, announcing them as Derek & the Dominos.
It was Harrison, thanks to Harry Nilsson, who turned Clapton on to Delaney & Bonnie, and also toured the UK and Europe with them. That band - which at times included Leon Russell, Dave Mason, King Curtis, Duane Allman, Rita Coolidge and numerous others - did so much to define the sound of the late 60s and early 70s, most notably Joe Cocker's 'Mad Dogs & Englishmen (mainly D&B players minus Whitlock) and more recently the Tedeschi-Trucks band.
Here are a few things to fill in some blanks and clarify some points re: your fine presentation:
- Jim Gordon and Bobby Whitlock also came from Delaney & Bonnie's band.
- Pete Drake introduced Peter Frampton to the talk box when the two were doing the so-called 'country' sessions. That alone is confirmation of Peter's involvement.
- A chronological correction: Gary Brooker did not 'go on to front Procol Harum' after 'ATMP'. He had founded that band in '67 to record and promote 'A Whiter Shade of Pale', and by 1970 had about four albums in the racks.
- In addition to 'We Just Disagree' and 'Feeling Alright', Dave Mason also penned 'Only You Know and I Know', a hit for Delaney & Bonnie.
Something on Delaney & Bonnie and Friends would surely prove interesting. There were so many key players that went on to become major names and influence the sound and direction of contemporary music. Cheers!
I saw George in 74 at the old Olympia Stadium. It was a bad snowstorm and George was 2 hours late.
i heard John did harmony vocals on my sweet lord, great vid keep them coming
Good shit 👍✌
Wow--I didn't know Alan White was on drums for "I'd Have You Anytime," nor that Dave Mason played on "Beware of Darkness."
Another 'highlight' in the rundown of Mal Evans' contributions is also his voice shouting the 'countdown' section in "A Day in the Life" (during the 24-bar 'orgasm of sound').
This was nicely researched and thoughtfully presented--thank you!
One of the things I recognized is how well concert for Bangladesh pretty much captured the sound of this recording, live.
When 'All Things Must Pass' came out, I knew right away that no other Beatle could or would ever come up with an album as good as his, George had placed John and Paul in the second row and Ringo still held rank, performing with George and John, Paul leaving Ringo out to pasture, which pissed me off as a huge Beatle fan. George was a guitar god, and always under rated by the BSers who always fell pray for guitar garbage soloists who never came close to having the same rank.
Thx man. Great video! I love George and I'm so happy that this is the biggest selling Beatles solo album. Classic photo at 3:42. Off the top of my head I love Beware of Darkness, Apple Scruffs and Ballad of Sir Frankie. Oh, oh Hear Me Lord! On Apple Jam I love "It's Johnny's Birthday". A little Beatles type humor there from George.
Fools illusions everywhere
Joan & Molly sweep the stairs
Eyes that shining
Full of inner light
Let it roll into the night...
Check out my new vid on Bobby Whitlock, who played on the album and with Eric in Derek and the Dominos
@@TheGuitarHistorian Thx. I love that album also. Classic...
So much fun to watch, and contemplate. What an incredibly rich musical era!
Not mentioned is Jim Gordon's contribution to Layla with the piano outro I always hear that song, and that elegaic piano part, as the swansong of the magical sixties and hello to the seventies - "something lost and something gained" ...
Yes Jim Gordon wrote the piano part but Bobby Whitlock is who you hear playing it.
@@lia1063 Both of 'em actually. Gordon laid down the basic bits but as he was not a natural on the piano Whitlock was brought back in at the end of the recording session to overdub the piano track in order that it might have that lovely 'musical' touch. Cheers!
@@kw19193 Yes I heard Bobby talk about that.
@@lia1063 actually Gordon stole that part from his girlfriend Rita Coolidge
@@victorarena23 Thats right, good call
There were actually 3 singles from this album, the one you didn’t mention was “Awaiting On You All.” I lived during that time.
Billy Preston also goes back a long time with the Beatles having met them in Hamburg when he was in Little Richards band.
Bobby Whitlock UA-cam channel is amazing and he did mention in the studios with George Harrison recording that album. All sing must pass was so professional my understanding that he does not get any royalties from that album which is a darn shame.😮
BRAVO MONSTER MYSTRO+++
John and Paul wouldn't allow any of these Harrison's classics on their album because they had the Wild Honey Pie, Why Don't We Do It in the Road, and Revolution 9 gems
Right??? You’re telling me ATMP and Isn’t It A Pity could’ve replaced #9 and Why Don’t We Do It? You’re dead on with that.
Great video. How I wish there was some video of the ATMP sessions, including Apple Jam.
I wish there was too James but my video would be taken down in a New York minute. Apple records are serious content blockers.
Bobby Whitlock suggested Pete Drake to George . He also recalled Peter Frampton playing acoustic guitar on those songs.
Billy also played on Abbey Road
Particularly I Want You (She's So Heavy)
Excellent work my friend. The tragic tale of Jim Gordon includes when he was on the petite Wazoo tour with Zappa, He got arrested in Columbia South Carolina doing cocaine in the dressing room. And Frank had to recruit Tim Buckley’s-opening act- drummer to play a fully improvised gig. You can hear portions of this show on “Dots” Which was released as part 2 to imaginary diseases.
Bobby Whitlock has a story about Clapton, Gordon and some luggage on a train 😎

Interestingly, the Concert For Bangladesh was in essence All Things Must Pass Live as most of the ATMP session players performed at the concert...
1213 ... and covered by Grand Funk Railroad
don't forget Bobby Whitlock...
He is talked about in this video. Did you watch it?
There’s a few separate videos on UA-cam where Peter Frampton talks about himself, George, the Badfinger guys all being around one microphone to record acoustic guitars for My Sweet Lord.
Karl Raddle on bass, Bobby Whitlock on Hammond organ, piano
This is Absolute Genius Video You kill it here: Goodness Personified
Good concept for a video but bailed half way through due to too many mistakes. The Concert for George was in 2002, not 2006. Carl Radle was also in Derek and the Dominoes. Gary Brooker didn't "go on" to be in Procol Harum. Procol Harum formed in 1967. Ringo wasn't at the Beatles meeting because he was in the hospital, not on his honeymoon. Ringo had been married since 1965. There were more mistakes but you get the point.
All you have to do is freeze-frame to compare the two short lines of text at 1:26 to see the effect of proper kerning on display type.
the first two lines of William Shakespeare's Richard III: "Now is the winter of our discontent...."
Great overview…it’s like a doctoral thesis on the ATMP album !!
Oh man that’s crazy! I was just talking to someone today, and I said that if I ever had to do a doctoral thesis on something, I would do it on all things must Pass.
@@TheGuitarHistorian hahaha. How ironic…must be some kind on cosmic musical thought convergence.
Thanks for this.
To be completely accurate, George had been introduced to slide guitar when he asked Mal Evans to cut a piece of the tubing off one of his amp stands so that it could be used as a slide. George used this to play the slides you can hear on 'Strawberry Fields Forever'.
I also always dislike photos or video from a time period other than the one being discussed being shown, and you have used quite a few here. Good photos, though.
