I am right now the same age as George when he died, 58. I have always loved the Beatles as many people of my generations and others have, yet as I have aged I find myself more and more drawn to George’s music, his steadfastness, and view of how we should live as mindful caretakers of humanity. He has, in some cosmic way, become my hippy guru. Thank you George.
Tally ho no doubt you're on to the right Concept
I’m two years behind you and share your sentiment. Somehow I’ve found myself on a similar spiritual quest as his and now seem to relate to his music and person on an entirely different level than earlier.
Famous or not, I think we’re all here to to discover who the hell we really are. Thanks for sharing your comment.
This old world could use more George Harrison's. He is still my favorite Beatle..
I've just turned 50. The beatles were never really my thing but suddenly I find myself too in awe of George!! Surely on my study list!

My favourite song of Georges! Was all things must pass! I allways told myself that, whenever there was sadness , or darkness in my life. I Told this to my children this also. Last year, my daughter posted a tribute to me on Facebook! And she mentioned that everytime she had a problem in her life! She would think of that simple but powerfull phrase. And said my father was correct, they did pass. I was never more proud of my daughter! Than that moument.The truth and honesty of George's music will live forever. Love and peace and happiness my friend George.
As a Human Being, George Harrison had earned a profound understanding. His spiritual evolvement and consciousness was always his driving force.
When my teen son seems lost, I just tell him to watch George's interviews, he had the answer, wish George was here now
classic - still so underrated as a force that can move the universe
George has soul power to the nth degree.....he IS who we are..love George with the whole of the universe.
Ringo wrote a tribute song to George and a line in it is "You were the sun." Tears, tears, tears.
love them both.
I saw George Harrison in Chicago when the Dark Horse album came out. I can’t remember the year but I might have been 17 or 18 back then.It was a great concert With Ravi S. Was there with his band. Billy Preston played Drums and played his song “ Changes”. We all Love & Miss you George! Dominick
@@newspapertaxis1 I'm pretty sure it was Andy Newmark on most of the shows
1974
In my opinion, the "All Things Must Pass" set remains my favorite. I have two full sets. One to play, one to preserve.
I'm surprised I missed this on Radio 4 ...thanks for posting !
I was around 7yrs old when the Beatles hit America. Watched em on the Ed Sullivan show and he became my favorite Beatle. An Uncle was teaching me flat pickin bluegrass guitar so I kind of naturally gravitated to George. I was so happy for him when he became the first ex Beatle with number 1 hit songs. When "All Things Must Pass" was released a buddy that worked in a music store got my copy because the music stores had trouble keeping it in stock.
I Still Miss this great man
Run of The Mill - sublime.
I think the first solo efforts were by far all my favorites. All things must pass being my favorite by George absolutely.
Thank you BBC Radio 4, this is a wonderful, thoughtful radio documentary.
Within You Without You probably changed my life forever.
What a pleasant BBC Radio program for us BEATLE fans to hear the rise of the one and only George Harrison and his mates from BADFINGER!
Hello I appreciate your recognition of Badfinger. They were an amazing band and totally underrated. I saw them touring for Straight Up in the US and they were amazing. They opened for The Grass Roots and somehow wound up being the headliner when the opener had to leave town early. The majority of their fans left early because of this and the Badfinger fans were able to get really close to the stage so we’re able to hear and see them up close. The concert was in Wilmington N.C really early 70’s.
Me too. ❤George❤Pete❤Tom❤
My sweet lord. One ov the best songs written and sung by musician. That song is a treble no1🎸🎶
A very successful business opportunity for george harrison at that time so too speak of cheers Bennett thanx
The power of music as good as it gets! George changed the world with this album empowered by his friend and guru Srilla Prabhupad - Hare Krsna
GEORGE HARRISON'S ALL THINGS MUST PASS IS MY FAVORITE ALBUM. FANTASTIC. RIP
We seem to be waiting forever for a super deluxe boxset of ATMP. It’ll be 51 years by the time the project becomes available to buy.
Cool little documentary. I bought the album then of course later the cd.Looking forward to the ATMP anniversary release with added material.
It was a time when music often had a deeper meaning, something generally missing today, except for the past masters like Dylan, Cohen, Paul simon. thanks george
You haven’t listened to enough modern music then.
Every generation has their poets. There was a ton of crap music in the 60/70s as well.
it is not because songs and song writers do not have deeper work they want to put out there but advertisers and record companies have made it almost impossible. If something isn't commercial, it doesn't get published.
As I aged, matured, and got some wisdom, very few music bands would work for me and the ones that I did I reserved my time for. For some reason (I'm just turned 50) I just never gave The Beatles a chance. I chalked it off as like a teen sensation, happy radio music that was not complex, or thick with meaning.
I always was blown away by The Beach Boys after they really got me in with Pet Stounds. I thought it was an album that was the top tier in every category. I seen here and there that The Beatles got into a creative stage and I think it was time to give them a shot. I have Revolver on my daily list for years. Then George's solo stuff is just so warming and wonderful. What a great accomplished artist. We lost a great man.
When’s the last time you had a good listen to “ALL THINGS MUST PASS “
When John and Paul heard that album they knew in their hearts that no matter what they do it’ll never be better than that.
Nonsense!
How do you know what they were thinking? You lived in their hair?
Totally missing the point as to why George had so many players on ATMP . This was how Spector always got his wall of sound , lots of players
drenched in echo.
Really enjoyed that
one blessed mind
Very cool! Thank you for sharing and God bless
Thank you! God bless!
Thank you for posting this
It is sad that the solo efforts of our beloved Beatles were solo. They had another decade to be the Beatles. Paul was right
they did not want another decade to be Beatles and it is so infuriating for anyone who thinks they like or love them to lock them into a cage they clearly said they wanted to be free of. They wanted to move on. They all said that. for god's sake. Do you stay in your mother's womb past nine months or do you get going?
Got. The album when it came out and still listen to it
There is clear evidence that The Beatles worked on the song 'All Things Must Pass' but split before they had it. It's like saying they rejected 'Jealous Guy'.
Always rumored that The others didn't give George respect or credit for his artistry in writing n guitar writing ; John's attitude saddened me ; AFTER All. John had it rough also n should've been empathetic n given George a break knowing he had great talent ; it was hard for me to accept their stuffy flaky heads n I missed so much of George growing up n then he got sick N moved on to hopefully a much better place that he knew existed ! I'm big believer in the afterlife n spirituality, . is anyone reading this a Fan of Coast to Coast w George Noory? If u listen to this show w a million listeners n 18 yrs of paranormal conversation you will truly be exposed to the .most intelligent hosts n guests, ! And truth !!
Peace. Love. And a real man for president!!!!
Guitar playing I'm sorry.
George. Self-Composed, critically Excellence, bring Influence into Consciousness!
His Wit is Beyond Most Standards with Metaphysical and Spiritual Awareness!
Sure, impressed His patience and pursuits a humble, yet, who do you speak or sing for, the Best you have been with!
Thank you such wonderful insight
Bobby and Alan memories are missed in the 50th ATMP albums 2021 re-issue, isn't it a pity?
Sa re ga ma pa da ni … Saaaaa … (the Indian musical scale)
Ten seconds in, and already an error. 22 March 1967 was the 4th month, not 6th. Recording started in November 1966
Typical bbc, they cannot tell the truth
We got into Eastern Grove via Beatles ...and George....I went deep... ha ... Life
Great.
His Bìrthday today.
I hope your Soul is still
Moving
Or rest in Peace
Very insightful. Good stuff to know.
Totally false - John and Paul and Ringo actually rehearsed All Things Must Pass over 60 times and they have on the recording John and Paul encouraging George. The song was slated for Let it Be and George himself pulled it - this will probably come out more clearly when Peter Jackson puts out the new Let it Be movie.
Let It Be (as an album) in my view was never a strong enough effort to deserve being released. There's a reason it was put on ice and mostly forgotten for almost 18 months. Perhaps it could have been released as a six track EP like Magical Mystery Tour, but there were far too many weak tracks in the context of a normal high quality Beatles effort. However, if George had somehow managed to get 3 or 4 of his best ATMP tracks on to Let it Be, wow, what a magnificent album it would have been. For example, imagine Paul and Jogn doing the backing harmonies on My Sweet Lord!
Or not, could be among the other 45 hours not getting a release
@@ustheserfs turns out “All Things Must Past” - the Beatles version - is being released on the upcoming “Let It Be” box set. I still assume we will see the rehearsals in Peter Jackson’s movie/tv series.
It is unusual for a born Christian to convert to an Indian religion, I suppose he couldn't feel God through the corrupted revised Bible. George Harrison was the most complex and interesting Beatle I think.
Can really recommend Graham Thompson’s book which I have just read fascinating
Graeme Thomson - “Behind the Locked Door”
Yeh that’s it really good book
I agree, except as I remember the book, he underrates Harrison as a guitarist. Still, no where near as bad as Philip Norman’s otherwise good book on the Beatles.
Really enjoy the speaking, particularly Olivia Harrison and Bobby Whitlock.
💞
They didn't reject All things must pass. They worked on it for several days. George didn't push for it to be on the album. They were under a deadline to complete the let it be movie. I'm so tired of the narrative that John and Paul repressed George's talent/songwriting.
But they did.
@@mskisimms oh please. Look at the white album. George has four songs on there. You're going to try tell me that Savoy truffle or Long, long, long are great songs?
@@allsystemsgo8678 yeah, Long Long Long is a beautiful song, and I think they should have put Sour Milk Sea on instead Savoy Truffle. Way better than song. Just my opinion. A lot people wondering why didn’t. I read
He wanted both on the White Album, but they all said it sounded like Savoy Truffle.
@@allsystemsgo8678 So he had 4 songs as opposed to 28 songs.
Them basterds was selfish as HELL
Mm
Hi, my comment of Billy Preston Didn’t play Drums it might have been Buddy Miles but I could be wrong.
Billy Preston played the piano.
Easily the best album by a former member of the band. Lennon got lost in politics and Yoko while McCartney succumbed to the soft-rock, easy-listening, MOR instincts that had always been moderated by John prior to the break-up.
It’s strange how all four of them lost the magic by about 1975. The Beatles legacy lasted that long but album by album they reverted towards the averages. They truly needed each other for creative inspiration. Even George…ATMP is songs composed during the Beatles. Even though the others did not directly contribute to the songs, they did by example and by competition raising the bar for acceptable quality.
@@andyloftube
A classic example of a whole exceeding the sum of its parts.
George's All Things Must Past
Is a Masterpiece.
John's POB is as well .
John's was Raw and very Real .
George's was more easy on ears .
So its edges out John's .
The Beatles still Set the Bar .
@@billmay7364 overall in 70's Lennon created the best music in the end...once you grow up yourself you'll get it...Lennon was the first artist to grow with age...and and 40 years old was creating 40 years old music..one artist I can give this for instance would be David Bowie, who always looked up to Lennon and was as creative ..
@@andyloftube The were always each other's best backing band
A,ENTREVISTA,É MARAVILHOSA,MAS SE FOSSE,TRADUZIDA,SERIA MELHOR AINDA,BOA NOITE,AMIGO.
I believe and maybe George did that it took living the life he did to make ATMP. If it had been lived a shade different it would have been memorable but not the landmark it became.
Bobby Whitlock was the only musician to play on the entire recordings.
Bobby left with Derek and the Dominoes in August 1970 while ATMP was still in the recording process. The album’s final recording sessions were in October 1970 while the Dominoes were on tour in the USA
29:55 Paul liked the let it be album "until Spector puked all over it"
Did George Harrison change his name to Bobby D. Bobbit move to Crockett, Texas became the Sheriff then later someway/ somehow died after being shot by Paris Hilton in the Crockett Walmart where they both worked together. May they both rest in peace.
I actually saw Georges first tour in the early seventies. Honestly it was a bit of a disappointment. He wouldnt play any Beatles songs and his voice was bad.His later performances were much better.
i don’t trust you
who wants to hear beatles songs anyway
he was also on a slip, using drugs, having a nervous breakdown and lost in his life path at that point in time, if you listen to any of his interviews later on, he talks about that time as a personal hell. sorry the music didn't do you.
enjoyed it...learning more about All Things Must Pass and about George Harrison's philosophy ... pity the commentator had a cold and croaky voice
'All Things Must Pass". That's what my doctor told me when I had a Flatulence Attack!
Funnily enough George described only being given 1 song on each beatles EP was like feeling constipated and ATMP was a big release. Maybe ATMP is an inside joke lol.
@@singalexsong 🤣🤣🤣🤣💩💩💩👍👍
You are not seeing this in context. Godspell and Jesus Christ Superstar had just broken on the cultural scene at that exact time. It is NOT true that George was completely on a limb recording a spiritual song. The big hit of 1970 was "Spirit in the Sky." It is very very off to say that George was alone -- the early 70s was a time where spirituality was in the culture - people were joining cults, there were Jews for Jesus, there was Godspell and Jesus Christ Superstar -- huge influences at that time as well. George was not alone.
🌱😃💛
ATMP a brilliant Album, George writing was better than Lennon & mc Cartney.
lol. My sweet Lord is anything BUT honest.. a direct copy of Hes so fine
no george wrote it
I believe he was sued for copywriter infringement! And thousands of dollars to the song writer.
@@reidremington7771 the sue was a joke
Lost interest when Bob geldof started spouting as if he knew anything.......
Dude. My hero. Jesus is Lord. Did your knee ever bow George? Has your tongue confessed? George, exactly what were you thinking at the moment of your artful death?
he said infinite universe I'm ready, show me your best I am ready...aum shanti-shanti puka 🌀
@@paulespinosa5195 One Lord. One Son. Coexist with Islam & lose your head. How's India's spiritual health? People starving in the streets with holy cows. How's that Buddhism working out? Jesus is Lord and he will continue to bless America and Israel in spite of a world full of unbelievers and false gods.
@@m.hughes2521 it's people like you who give Christians a bad name and put people off Jesus and Gospel
I've always disliked All Things. Great songs, yes. Horrible production!
