- This home-shot video comes from Dec 12,1991 and is the same performace used on the Live In Japan release. I subbed the audience recording for the CD as they were the same performace. Not the best video quality but interesting none the less
I am now an old man and in the final stage of life. if I could take a song with me it would be this one.
Bless you George.
I would take both, Something and My Sweet Lord.
Just saw this. Are you still listening?
Frank Sinatra once said that Something is the only love song that does not have the sentence"I love you"
bless you too!
@@sevtaptincer8194 yes Sinatra said Something was the best love song ever written and introduced it as his favorite Lennon and McCartney song. Harrison was flattered and laughed. No press.
I had no idea George was on tour in 1991. He passed away on my birthday Nov. 29, 2001. 10 years from this. He was taken by cancer was too young. He is finally getting the recognition he truly deserved for being such a fine song writer along with Lennon and McCartney and I am so glad the Gen Z's are finding out how great the Beatles are. They will always be the best.
Hi I just wanted to thank you again for being so supportive and following me on my journey. I love inspiring and encouraging others. People like you help me to keep showing up! Hope you are having an amazing day!
If you watch get back movie. He didn’t have words. Extracts me like a cauliflower is what John said to do until they come up with the right words.
My birthday is also the same as yours
This is one of the few videos where I actually get to hear George play a solo with Eric next to him. I love it
Magic happens when two legendary guitarists on stage together.
George Harrison - most underrated genius of a guitarist-composer-musician.Something is Gold!
He's not underrated he's one of the best guitarists ever 👑
Pretty good composer, fair musician, best slide guitarist in R&R.
My favorite song written by George Harrison.
I am 73 and have been a fan for over 50 years. Simplicity is sometimes the best. This is the best guitar playing I've heard by George
he was very good on the one after 909 on the roof concert too. live playing.
Bless to the person who recorded this live performance
Very nice music

How is the audio so good?
Thank you all for seeing my friend video
RIGHT?!
George Harrison was a brilliant musician and songwriter.
Too bad Paulie would never encourage or allow George more latitude in the Beatles.
Indeed....very talented 💖
@@justafanintexas7913 "Paulie" didn't stop George. GEORGE did!!
Harrison wrote a few great songs and was a fairly average guitarist. "Brilliant" should be reserved to describe the Lennons and McCartneys of the world.
@@chipgaasche4933 If being lead guitarist of the Beatles makes you "fairly average" then heaven help the rest of the music world. He was understated, yes, but that was part of his brilliance.
Without a doubt the best version of this song
This version is a unique masterpiece!
Old habits are hard to break! He still does the bow after each song. So fab!!!
Old school showbiz, did it at stage school in the 1970's:-)
He was a class act all the way!❤
I noticed that right away too. Makes me cry.
If you guys haven’t seen it there is a movie from ‘79 called the birth of the Beatles. It’s probably faulty in some facts but it is a great show of their ruse to fame, struggles and losses on the way up. I think the story of the Beatles is worth a history book lesson. Preserve to the top and just cause you’re there doesn’t mean it’s easy street. The only thing that would truly break my heart is to know that these 4 Liverpudlian lads didn’t love each other through all of it.
These 2 guys, were responsible for more young people, playing guitar than anyone can even imagine!
Very true!!
Other than Chuck Berry.
Only YOU can imagine, Joe? Lol
I AGREE STRONGLY!
Unfortunately George is so underrated.
Wow...Harrison & Clapton playing guitar together...simply wonderful stuff right here.
Over the years, this performance has moved me like no other. Thank you, George!
Its amazing how great George was playing live, such precise lead full of feelings, even Clapton could not reach on that level at this performance. I had no idea that George is such great singer as well as live guitarist.
Words aren't enough for this. The song, the performance, the emotion. Rest in peace, George. We miss you greatly.
George's solo is fantastic! Great guitar player!
That made me cry. How amazing for those people to be there. George's guitar playing was incredible.
What a team!! George and Eric..perfect duo,👍😊👍
a compassionate and kind guy ...this great song of George will remain forever in every heart of humans...those were the great old days of great music

This song is a classic. I specially love the guitar intro by George Harrison, it's just amazing. Clapton is brilliant as well.
Wow! This is the BEST I've heard George doin' this song LIVE. George sounds great & his gtr work is really good! RIP
Highest level, what a duet, can't be equaled
Hi I just wanted to thank you again for being so supportive and following me on my journey. I love inspiring and encouraging others. People like you help me to keep showing up! Hope you are having an amazing day!
I wish so much I could have seen him perform this song live in person. he was my favorite beatle, and this is my favorite song, probably of all time.
RIP George, we miss you!
I saw his 1974 tour and he played this, but he changed the arrangement and except for the chorus it was unrecognizable. That was when he was rebelling against being a Beatle.
same here
I was there at Tokyo Dome. All those years ago...
@@bhbm47 Yes....so true and he had voice problems
ジョージの最後のLIVEが日本で行われたことはとても幸運でした。もちろん最前列で見ていました。
One of the best live performance of George Harrison
An already heavenly piece of song then clapton added his claptonic touch!! This is mindblowing epic.
ua-cam.com/video/BvmfCUvyIEU/v-deo.html
This intro guitar is really beautiful.
It's simply beautiful. George wrote that song for him eternal love, Ringo.
I love Clapton's solo after George reproduces the original part from the 'Abbey Road' version. Clapton really knows how to choose the right notes for emotional resonance.
What a privilege to watch and hear this brilliance! Bravo!
George wrote this song when him and Eric were in love with the same woman.......George's wife at the time.
The sound is different b/c they use differnt types of guitars. EC maybe tuned an octave higher
George plays the original part because it's part of the song and people would miss it. But he is not bound to it note for note--he works in flourishes and variations that are actually quite good. His variations on the vocal melody are pleasing as well. And that was a pretty good solo from Clapton. Nice job!
@@dianeveilleux6452 qqq
i miss george harrison so badly :(
Rovan....I also!
I dont know why ! You never knew him...And you always Will have his albums
Me too
..😢😢😢
Best live I've ever seen before. Love you George. My guitar hero.
There are other great video from a concert, probably organised by Elton John, there along with Harrison there is Clapton , ringo star , Phil Collins, is Amazing !!! The Voice of #HeorgeHarrison was Perfect!!
I still think Harrison is one of the best to ever play. He showed us you don't have to go insane on the guitar and rip off wild solos in order to be incredible.
Think that was the biggest reason why I loved his guitar playing. Also, his sound was unique. There was beauty in the simplicity and each note so clearly played as if the guitar was singing words.
@@virginiaconner3340 Well said. I loved his guitar work in Something as well.
-⁸ó
The truly best renditions of Something. Best performance of the century
(1'19" to 1'23") George sings with his real crooner voice at the very beginning, then the shy part of him brings back again the voice we all know. Amazing document.
George was an amazing guitar player. He had a sound like no oher. he was the best
One of the best song that was composed by George and one of my faves. Rest in Peace George. And see you soon.
George Harrison is always the Best Beatle,my favorite forever 🎇❤️❤️❤️🎈
This is life-changing for me. I love George and The Beatles, but I have never heard him bust out licks like that before!!!
The guitar sings!
weeps
What a beautiful new guitar intro George added for these live concerts. Eric terrific too, of course.
The intro was made by Eric Clapton., and so the middle solo.
No, George plays the intro and also the solo, the first one, in the middle of the song. Eric plays the second solo. The video clearly shows this.
no it was Brian Jones.
Heikki Ojala Lol, I guess it must have been George channeling Jones as Jones died in about 1969.
M
What a beautiful song always loved listening to this song rip George well always remember your kindness towards others . still listening 2020 . ✌
one woman inspires two great musicians who loved her on stage together wonderful
Unforgettable George!
congratulations to us, the 284k+ souls who've had the experience to watch this eternal hymn
George Harrison great great guitar man!!..Love you and miss you
perfect player ... clear sound ..... near like a classic music ... very great .... RIP every where you are
The best performance of George Harrison solo
best singer forever walk the Planet . R.I.P George
Man...that is one of the most beautiful songs ever. RIP. ..George Harrison. ...you were GREAT.
Chorei... como é lindo... nunca tinha visto essa performance... obrigado por compartilhar. Harrison querido, onde você estiver, e sei que deve estar num lugar de luz, obrigado por essa obra-prima. Eu amo os Beatles para sempre! Jamais existirá um grupo tão talentoso quanto esses rapazes de Liverpool, ainda que depois deles tenham surgido grandes bandas de classic rock que adoro, mas como os Beatles... never.
I love you George your music is such a blessing RIP

This should be the best alternate guitar licks for this amazing song!!! I love the intro and the collaboration with Eric. Man, this is GOLD. Thank you for uploading! God bless your heart. 😘❤️🥰
I love this version so much more. It's so good to see George playing one of his songs.
Brilliant heartfelt solos by George; we are all treated to the beginning improv, so good!
Yes, you played here in Japan!!
Thank you George, Eric and everyone involved.
It is a pity that the video of this precious concert has not been officially recorded or released.
"Something" was playing back in 1969, when I had my 1st slow dance and 1st real kiss, right there on the Junior High School gym floor. Love to be 14 again.
I have this on cassette and CD. I always thought it was Clapton playing the intro on this. George's solos are perfect on this.
Nobody gives this awesome embellishment of the bass line any praise. So beautiful. I almost like it more than the studio version. In the process of learning it:)
George was an absolute master. I miss him so much. This is a brilliant rendition of SOMETHING. Thanks for posting, and thanks for filming in the first place. 😊❤
Hi I just wanted to thank you again for being so supportive and following me on my journey. I love inspiring and encouraging others. People like you help me to keep showing up! Hope you are having an amazing day!
George's guitar playing here is just fab.
Best live version.
Totally love the guitar work on this by George and Eric.
What a Composer & Guitarist just the beginning killed this song!!!
One of the greatest guitar licks,
This rendition has more of a guitar introduction - GREAT
Two big stars in guitar and music combined together in one song is so great and wonderful
George will be all ways with us throughout the wonderful magic music. We will always love you

Definitely my favorite version!
Superb intro! Pure genius doing what he does best...greatly missed.
George Harrison and Eric Clapton..Fantastic
this is the real talent,,,,
Was in tears of joy.....beautiful
this moment when Clapton starts his solo.
THIS is genius. 💝

Ouvindo essa canção do George.. a gente começa a refletir.. Que inspiração tinha esse músico virtuoso genial.. esse solo de guitarra simplesmente fantástico.
É simplesmente fantástico, George toca ao vivo exatamente como executou anos atrás com os Beatles. Isso é talento e respeito ao público. Magistral e ainda acompanhado de Clapton... sem palavras...
Nunca me cansé de ver este video, Dios bendiga a quien se tomó la molestia de grabarlo! La calidad y el sonido son únicos George mi Beatle favorito!
È difficile dire quale tra i beatles fosse il.migliore....erano semplicemente fantastici...tutti e quattro
Georges guitar gently weeps.
Eric Clapton should be awarded a medal for getting George to tour Japan in 1991. Without this concert, we would not have an updated recording of George's classics played live by George himself. The live in Japan album is a must for any George Harrison fan.
Gorrge is so great at lead guitar, we can see the difference between George's creativity and passion vs Eric's style. Usually he plays only scales.do not take me wrong, he is a great guitarist as well but in my opinion George's is part of history. unforgettable
Believe me, Mr Clapton is already a large bit of history.
Eric does not just play scales.
I'm sorry. Listen to EC's guitar work at the Yardbirds, Blind Faith, Cream and Derek and the Dominoes and you'll see his fantastic artistry.
Btw.: I find it somewhat boaring to say this or that one is better, because they were/are both fantastic musicians. It's all about taste and you can't argue about it. So it's a waste of time.
But we can say: Thank you for your friendship and your music!
George's lead here is very good but he does botch a phrase during the solo and recovers with some bends around 3:32. He has an extra couple of notes in lead-in with pull offs or something around 3:27 that sound super cool but I think it throws him off. Still amazing version...
@@tonykoos5986 3:32 doesn't sound botched at all. It was very much intentional
The guitar work on this moves my emotions like nothing else in this World. Nothing more beautiful in music than this.
+bellaimages this new intro IS very beauty, one of the best intros ever. Still wonder why all live-performances with almost everyone are still no-conducted bliiblaa throw-aways? "We play some songs some 90 -120 minutes with attidude what ever - Songs are the best, players are the best, and still ... and to think that is more "natural" outcome is bs, it is just no-planned queue of some nice things we could do once
All i can say is WOW👏👏👏
How good do you have to be to have Eric Clapton play rhythm for you? And they were great together. Too bad we don’t have more George/ Eric!
..., Eric???
@@abramovichkulikovich9462 yes, Eric. He’s a relatively unknown guitarist from England. He’s quite good though. I’m surprised you never heard of him.
@@robiandolo Weird. Eric is alive and well and continues to delight with his music.
He is one of the most famous guitarists in the world. There are many inscriptions on the walls of the houses Eric is God..
@@robiandolo Wiki. Eric Patrick Clapton CBE (born 30 March 1945) is an English rock and blues guitarist, singer, and songwriter. He is regarded as one of the most successful and influential guitarists in rock music. Clapton ranked second in Rolling Stone's list of the "100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time"] and fourth in Gibson's "Top 50 Guitarists of All Time".He was also named number five in Time magazine's list of "The 10 Best Electric Guitar Players" in 2009.
@@abramovichkulikovich9462 what about George?
Did not realize how great George was on Guitar and of course "A Beetle" can sing - Not much with Eric but enjoyed George totally (RIP)
First time I've ever seen this - I'm still in awe - of them both!
I love the bow on conclusion of the previous song. Classy.
Love George's guitar solo ...
yea! me too!
Allways THE GREAT GEORGE HARRISON,,, SOMETHIG IS HERE,,, congrautlations in any place that you are,,, your friend Oscar,,, your fan,,, OSCAR DE Playa del Carmen,,,
One of the greatest love songs ever
We play this song now and in my mind I always remember George.....
Look like nothing special, but touch my heart. Brilliant. This is GEORGE....☝️🙏🍏📿📙💖💐
Gentle George My Favourite Beatle Too ! ♥️🙏🏼👍🏼✨
What a great performance. George proved here he deserved to be called a Guitar God, because of this guy I picked to play the guitar. Thank you George.
Thank you so so much! To me this is the most beautiful version of this song ever! Had almost given uo hope that someone really did film his.
Felizes aqueles que tiveram a oportunidade de ouvir ao vivo esse grande gênio da música universal.
Realmente uma dádiva.. ver um show desse músico virtuoso genial.
simply great ... a serious musician with a very mild soul ....
"The greatest love song ever written was Something".
Frank Sinatra
And he thought it was a Lennon/McCartney composition.
@@rdty9251 no Sinatra said that. I think the only Beatles song MJ ever covered was Come Together
@@meghnasaha4349 yeah I looked it up after writing that comment, turns out I was wrong
N on
George gênio da música.. saudoso simples talentoso um músico virtuoso, guitar man.. grande compositor e cantor vertente de muitas gerações.
Ce cuplu Eric Clapton în concert live Hyde
Mirific
I saw the Tokyo show on the last day of the tour. I was a high school student at the time. It is one of my lifetime memories.
Never in the history of music could you get two icinic guitarists and song writers, singing and playing on the same stage, iconic songs, and at one time in their past some of those same songs were inspired by the same woman that both musicians married, and yet they stayed friends and their music and friendship endured the test of time. If anyone knows a similar dynamic as that, ever, I'd like to know.
None exists. A movie should have been made about that extraordinary relationship. Perhaps the closest, is Fleetwood Mac- but they pale next to the love story of those three...
