It was Lennon who was dismissive of Harrison's songs!! Look back as far as early 1966 & you will find that John hardly participated in ANY of George's songs from that point on!! At least Paul put a lot of time & effort into George's songs. "I Me Mine" is a great song - lyrically & musically. I agree - this probably was the point where George had had enough. Fast forward to 1974 where George really laid into John yelling "where were you when i needed you". That says it all.
John had a habit, on "The White Album" and "Abbey Road," of not attending sessions where George's songs were recorded---his presence would be minimal at best and disruptive at worst. For the "Get Back / Let It Be" sessions, there was no way he could avoid being there.
Stop with the propaganda of McCartney not supporting or dismissing Harrison's songs. The actual recordings prove the opposite. In fact, you should be asking where Lennon is on those recordings.
Well said ; It’s flavour of the month to slag off McCartney; a lot of people liking a saint / victim and a villain, but the Beatles were never that. They were the “Fab Four” for a reason! Paul worked harder on George’s songs than anyone!
@ginghamt.c.5973 Well I think he worked harder than anyone on George's songs did.Ringo worked harder.Both John and Paul had a tendency to hog the albums.
There's a point when Paul and John are playing around singing two of Us when George just looks over with what looks to me like sad longing... The amateur psychologist in me thinks he's thinking why isn't it three of us, dang it?
if youve heard the Nagra tapes from the morning after George quit, the people gathered before John and Yoko show up make it very clear that George quit because he was annoyed by Yoko"s presence, John elevating Yoko to his equal creative partner above George and John's distance from the group to the point were behind the scenes Yoko was doing most of the talking for John. Im sure Johns indifference to georges songs was salt in the wound, but john had always had that attitude. Paul had always kind of guided the sessions. the only thing new was the ever present succubus. also, George and Patty had a major fight and she had left him the night before, so john and yokos constant inappropriate canoodling was very annoying to george.
@@joegordon2915Pattie did not leave him until much later, after George had an affair with Ringo’s wife Maureen (and after her affair with Ron Wood). George had sent Pattie mixed signals on Clapton’s love for her, but then made her choose and she stayed with George, causing Eric to take up heroin to ease the pain. She later divorced George and married Eric. Between Eric and George they wrote 11 songs about her.
All you have to know to answer these questions is that Harrison played on Lennon’s album after the breakup and Ringo played on Concert for Bangladesh but Harrison and McCartney never played together again. (Correction: They did not play together for 25 years after the breakup, until Free as a Bird in 1994.)
@ Were they playing together on anthology or was it remote? Were they playing together or just working together? wasn’t concert for George post-mortem? Thanks, I’ll check on my end, too.
You’re correct. They took the tape of 1977’s Free as a Bird in 1994 and pretended John had taken a break and left them to finish it. I had forgotten about that. I amend my statement. George did not play with Paul for 25 years after the breakup. Thanks for the correction. (But even after 25 years, they quickly agreed they couldn’t work together without supervision so they hired Jeff Lynne to produce.)
They worked together on George's tribute song to John in 1981, "All Those Years Ago". But for several years following the breakup, George worked with John (on the Imagine album) but not with Paul.
@@Freedom2111 Paul, Denny and Linda overdubbed vocals on All Those Years. My correction stands. They did not PLAY together for 25 years after the breakup, until Free as a Bird.
Hey presenter, Listen to the Nagra tapes and you'll see/hear that Paul wasn't just involved with the arrangement, but also the composition. he was incredibly invested in this song and George was happy for his involvement. People that present bullshit like this should get their facts right. There's more to this story than the 2 movies. The Nagra tapes are the real key.
in their final stages I don't think that The Beatles were primarily a rock and roll band. Some great work on the latter albums, but some rubbish too, especially on White Album.
As a project Get Back was a mess, they had painted themselves into a corner with an unrealistic turnaround time. Adding to the stress was John deciding it was a good idea to insert Yoko into the fray. It was a disaster waiting to happen.
@chrisallen8250 John admitted that he and the others were lazy and that Paul was the workaholic of The Beatles and,like most of their projects at the time it was Paul's idea,and,as usual, Paul's enthusiasm and underlying desire to get back on the road overran him and the others,but it probably didn't help that Yoko was always there,and Paul was always telling the others how to play,and the original location for the sessions at that studio,stressed them all out.They were much happier back in the Abbey Road studio during the later scenes.
The end, some say, came when Paul heard Long and Winding Road with Spector’s orchestration. Paul had rejected it and felt that if he couldn’t get his own version (now on Naked) of his own song on his own label then the collaboration had come to its end. But those seeds were sown when Brian Epstein died and Lennon famously said “now we’re fugged.” And Paul wanted Linda’s dad to take over band management but the others refused because they feared he’d have an unconscious bias, so they hired a bunch of bozos instead.
@PeterCoventry-zb2zw They hired one bozo named Allan Klein, a cigar chomping New Yorker that Paul saw through,but John refused to listen because he thought Paul's in-laws were old-money snobs and Klein was a genuine down to earth regular straight-shooting guy.The others finally had to be grudgingly admit Paul was right,particularly when Klein bought the rights to "He's So Fine" so George would have to pay him the plagiarism money he owed for "My Sweet Lord,"but a judge thought that was a little too crooked of Klein and threw his claim out.
@ that is only the tip of the proverbial iceberg of the Klein story, as you probably know. Major grifter. Funny that music copyright laws changed in 1978. If you’re interested in the He’s So Fine story, also check out the Taurus/Stairway case. Absolutely fascinating. Appealed on grounds that the judge didn’t allow the jury to hear the songs, but in the end that didn’t matter because of how the law changed. Stairway is much closer to Taurus than My Sweet Lord was to He’s So Fine, but these cases hinge more on legal requirements than music. Even crazier was Matthew Fischer’s claim on Whiter Shade of Pale’s publishing. Didn’t he steal that from Bach? And claimed ownership 40 years later?

John and Paul were both that way, but you exaggerate it.

Well John and Paul did dismiss some of George's songs at various times.

Paul flat out told George his songs weren’t as good as his or John’s. Then he ate his words when “All things must pass” came out
@jimrahill4357 He ate his words before that when George had the two biggest hits on Abbey Road!
Gotta love John's dancing lol
Great video.. a quantum leap... If you know what I mean!
Oh boy! I've leaped into Paul of The Beatles! Wait! My mind isn't swiss-cheesed anymore! John! You're gonna be...!" Leaps out.
Jesus H, they must have rehearsed “Get Back” at Macca’s insistence a thousand times. That would drive anyone away.

The song was written about Paul’s wife Linda.

John was known for ignoring Georges tracks, not even participating on several
George Said Paul was the one who ignored his music
Paul supported George’s songs and the evidence is in the Nagra Reels

Yet it was good enough to dance too. Or was that simply John obeying his orders? (Yoko's).
