Plenty of people think this is the best solo album by any Beatle and I agree with that. Fantastic 5 star album.
It is the best solo album.
Never made another one that came close. did some good stuff tho ''Extra Texture' in 1975 is underrated
Got My Vote!!
Maybe. It is that good. And it was a huge commercial success, being George's first solo attempt. He got some GREAT people to play with him throughout.
@mrheem44 The Second one is almost as good. Material world, masterpiece. And plenty of other good stuff too.
George was so talented. He didn't get much of a chance to show it until the Beatles broke up. He died way too young. John was making a great comeback when that idiot assassinated him. I miss both of them. Very talented men.
RIP George
RIP John
😢😢❤❤❤❤❤❤
Killer album! Many of these songs George tried to introduce into the later Beatle’s albums, but he got iced out a bit by John and Paul. So he dropped this monster album on them after the breakup.
Since the early 70s, I know every note of this album like the back of my hand. My Sweet Lord awakened the inner devotion George felt and sang about. Never turned back. All Things Must Pass: best album of all time.
Most overlooked masterpiece on ATMP: The Art of Dying
George had such a recognizable slide guitar style - very melodic, and using more major scale notes than the typical blues based rock slide players of the time. Harrison remixed and re-issued the album much later, cutting down on the amount of reverb and echo that Spector had used, which Harrison disliked.
Tons of amazing musicians on this album Klaus Voorman, Peter Frampton, Clapton, most of the Dominos etc...
This album was George Harrison’s masterpiece. Every artist has a recording that defines them, and this one was it for George. I believe it was reported that George had over 200 songs that had never been recorded once the Beatles disbanded, mostly because George and John never permitted more than one or maybe two of his songs on every Beatle album. They actually worked on the title song “All Things Must Pass,” but it still never appeared on a Beatles album. I believe this album is rich with elements from most all genres of music. George was my favorite Beatle. RIP George.
Phil Spectors “Wall of Sound”…sometimes a little overwhelming but adore this album anyways. This album was all George and musician friends.
All Things Must Pass is my favorite Beatles solo album. George's exploding talents were on full display by this time, and he was only 26 when he started recording this masterpiece. Hard to believe.
The slide notes are so purposeful, tasteful with impact but in perfect Harrison form he never was about showing off. He put just what was needed! Those horns are great too!
The best solo album by any of the Beatles. Also likely the best triple album ever made. All Things Must Pass is such a great album. The core backing band (Bobby Whitlock, Carl Raddle, and Jim Gordon) were Derek and the Dominos along with Eric Clapton.
George Harrison was very prolific after The Beatles breakup mainly because he was only allowed to record one or two songs per album. After the end he had a huge catalog of great unrecorded material.His solo career was my favorite of The Fab Four. I wore the grooves of this album out
I've never heard this, shame on me. Thank you for sharing
I grew up on the Beatles and my sister's took me to the theater to see "Help" and "A Hard Days Night" . I always came out loving George the most. His rendition of "Happy just to Dance with You" just did it for me.
Such an iconic album that really shows George's amazing talents. As always fellas great reaction. Much appreciated 🙏 ❤
It makes me feel good seeing you guys dive this deep into the solo work from the Beatles.
Each and every one of them are so unique, along with the bands genius!
I have to agree with the other great comments from this reaction.
Keep it up guys!!!
I can certainly hear where Jeff Lynne got much of his influence from listening to this, though I know there were collaborations later between the two.
John, Paul, and George were famously good at sounding like each other while singing if they wanted to.
Such a fantastic double album. Stand -outs for me are "behind that locked door", and "I'd have you anytime".
Great tune, dense, innovative mix, no one else sounds like George and his large ensemble of musicians on this brilliant, epic album. From it from try Beware of Darkness and Art of Dying but really, the first 2 Discs of that album are worth a full reaction. Fire is right, my favorite solo album by any ex Beatle and that is saying something, they all have classics. Enjoy! 🎵🎸🎤🎹🎷🎶
Hooray! I’m so glad you are diving into this wonderful album! It took me a long time to get around to it, but I love it so much.
Some of my favorites are beware of darkness, isn’t it a pity and behind that locked door.
You mentioned in an earlier reaction that George never got any shine from the Beatles and I agree. I am a huge Beatles fan, but I didn’t really check out George’s solo stuff until I watched the film that Scorsese did about him.
He was an incredibly talented and lovely person.
They we’re all greats and capable of going solo ❤
Beautiful.
So good! What a song and album! Love the slide play on it!
This is a must own, (and do an album reaction to) record. This was the first time as Eric Clapton has said, that Derick And The Dominoes was ever recorded, as George invited them all to help him make this album. This one’s packed full of great music. 🤘😎
another great reaction .all my best to you and yours from Liverpool
Please more of George
Masterpiece ❤️ 🤘 🇮🇹
My favorite George solo song.
George Harrison is one of my aunt's favorite album and song I grew up listening to her favorite songs 😊❤
Phenomenal album
George Harrison was a Member Of The Beatles !!!Paul & John Got Most Of The Headlines But George Was a Great Musician In His Own Right!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hear Me Lord is the one I looking forward to!!!
Good morning guys, to hear this lovely song on this beautiful Sunday morning takes me way back to those days that my kids used to call this " Sunday morning music ", Thank you again, for the great memories 👍🏻🤩and have a great day guys💖
Great insight on a tune I’ve never heard! As always, I look to you guys for new tunes and always looking at them in ways I can’t of . Thanks again….off to a good beginning!
I really like this cut (although I agree with George himself who, on second thought, believed Spector over-produced it). By the way, I don't think George sounds that much like Lennon here. You're responding to his Northern England accent, the Liverpool accent that all the Beatles had.
Okay, straight props for that. I almost never see reactions addressing my personal favorite Beatle.
Thanks!
Such a Wonderfully Beautiful LP!!!SO UNDERATED!
Your reactions are fire. True musician’s musicians reactions. Thanks again for this song, the whole album rocks!!!
I recently Subscribed and am I ever glad I did. Almost everyone reactes to the same songs all the time, over and over. You two don't. You react to the deeper tracks, not just the commercial radio hits. As an old Hippy, Progressive Rock musician relic, I really appreciate it. 🎶
Gery Brooker from Procul Harum and Eric Clapton played on this track as well as nearly everyone from Badfinger. And yes, this is a typical Wall of Sound production by Phil Spector.
Bought the triple album when it came out, the 1st ex Beatle's as a solo artist purchase, Ringorama, by do I need to say is great, Eric Clapton and Willie Nelson are guests on it.
Harrison's Concert for Bangladesh is a great show to check out. Ravi Shankar put on an amazing set.
McCartney and Lennon didn't let Harrison do many of his own songs in the Beatles. So when they broke up he put out this amazing triple album of songs he had already written. It's considered one of the greatest classic rock albums ever...
Their corporate recording contracts (EMI, Capitol, whatever) didn’t allow more than one song per album side by George and Ringo.
That is George on vocals!
Beautiful album. Listen to Wah Wah next for a really rocking track. Actually listen to the whole thing.
Killer song, Co-producer by, as it turns out a killer.
Other than George many of the musicians who recorded this went on to form Derek and The Dominoes
This record has such a 70s sound.
Beware of Darkness & The Ballad of Sir Frankie Crisp, All Things Must Pass....
Also, the main reason that there was *such* a volume of music on this LP was that much of the material was backlogged ideas that kept being abandoned or outright rejected during latter Beatles sessions. Which meant that Spector spent weeks going through all of the tapes and demos that had been piling up.
Having said all of that, it is only fair to point out that quite a few songs did make the writing/rehearsing name before the breakup, and there is ample video, audio, testimonial stuff out there to show for it. Let 's be real though, so Those other three competing for publishing and royalty real estate, one could only hope for a tiny piece of that action.
The intro epitomizes Spector's "wall of sound." This track is also a great example of Jim Gordon's laid back drumming. He stays out of the way, but his subtle accents and groove are lethal.
that's when you know you got a good drummer in... someone who plays for the song and not shows off for himself.
The best album of all time for sure
Havent heard that song in ages. Great album. Used to play it a lot back then.
There are several really good ex Beatles solo albums from all four Beatles but this one is my favorite!
Great album. And like you said, top tier. The reason for that is the large group of top tier musicians who played on the album. A couple of great drummers, especially Ansley Dunbar who played with Frank Zappa, and was the drummer on Journey’s first two albums (which were both musically much better than their commercial hit Infinity album). All the great musicians of that era wanted to play with George, and many were on this album.
The album included three records in a clamshell-style box, with the above photo on the front. The first two records had the typical 3 to 5 or 6 minute songs, but the third record was basically just a bunch of great musicians jamming together on three songs, if I remember correctly. I agree with others that this is the best solo album of any Beatle. Every single song is top tier!
Thanks for playing it.
Sublime. Let it Down, Let it Be, but Don't Let me Down. Sure I read somewhere John, Paul and George all went away and wrote a track based around the word 'let', only Paul's Let It Be ended up on the album, John's Don't Let Me Down became the b-side of Get Back and George's track got rejected altogether (along with a lot of other stuff ending up on this album).
Like the way BIG and Charlie are grooving along to it. 🎸
You should review the Concert for Bangladesh...especially Leon Russell's part.
Great selection guys! Love it!
Wonderful album by George. Please do "All Things Must Pass."
You guys should get into some Frehleys Comet! Aces best solo album in many ppls eyes/ hears Something Moved would b a cool place to start or play the whole record it’s a classic and every song is a hit
Klaus Voorman on bass was inspiring throughout this whole album
Klaus Voorman on bass...
@@paulsullivan1650 OOps....yes
@@Ninang363 Lol...
It's a really sexy song. Read the lyrics.
Only Beatle on this Album is possibly Ringo, Wah Wah was George's name for a headache. He was held back by lennon & Mc cartney he wrote some of the Beatles best songs , Something - Here Comes the Sun - While my guitar gently weeps. This Album betters anything by the other two.
Has hip-hop heads, I'd love to know what y'all think of Bob Dylan's "it's alright ma (I'm only bleeding) - can we get a review?
This is one of my favourite albums if not my favourite but I think the inclusion of disc three which is just lengthy jams was a mistake
Wah Wah, Isn't It A Pity, My Sweet Lord, Beware Of Darkness.
All from the same album.
Use caution with Wah Wah...that song has a tendency to get stuck in one's head for a few days.😂
On this album George also has alternate versions of several of the songs. There is an acoustic of this that is infinitely better.
I still don't own this album. What is wrong with me? LOL
I'm thinking the same thing.
Wish they would release a non Phil Spector version of this. I’m not a fan of the whole wall of sound thing. It just sounds muddy to me. McCartney hated the sound of the original Let it be album because of Spector’s sound so much he later rereleased it as Let it be naked. To my ear it is better than the original.
I've always felt the All Things Must Pass album is overproduced. Too much.
Personally, I like and adore George Harrison's solo music better than Paul's.
I Love this album, but I must be honest and say that I don't like this song!
Great album. Horrible production.
For me, it was overproduced by Phil Spector and that “Wall of Sound”.
There’s a bare-bones version of Let It Down by George on acoustical guitar. Just him. It’s intimate and quite special. I ended up composing my choreography to it. What a great melody maker he was!
