I was their. We had stand by tickets and waited in the lobby of 30 Rock for hours. They gave out dress rehearsal tickets we didn't make the cut. They suggested if we wanted to wait for live show you could but no guarantee. My buddy were juniors in HS. We got lucky. It was awesome.
I don’t know what I was doing, but I missed it at the time. I was 19 in 1976. I also was married to a person that I divorced after so I guess that’s what I was doing.
I remember seeing this live on TV and being blown away. In terms of the "thumbs down" votes, I could easily turn it into a political commentary. But I'll let it rest.
Two of the greatest song writers performing -one- *two* of the greatest songs, nuff said.....probably should have included Homeward Bound in the title too, but hey certainly not complaining about the surprise bonus!
On other versions of this sequence there is audience cheering right at the end of George’s verse in Homeward Bound which is probably why he smiles exactly at that moment - strange...
Henrik Mikkelsen I was there that night. After this take they did both songs again. They also did Rock Island Line. In between I asked George to play Dark Horse and he obliged. This was filmed on the Thursday night prior to the live broadcast
Henrik Mikkelsen You're welcome! After the take they used was complete, there was a break. Carly Simon and her crew left. I quickly asked if me and my mates could sit in their seats. We sat at their feet for 45 minutes while they fiddled around and re did those 2 songs. I have photos of my mates entering the NBC with George, Olivia and their entourage.
I always think of him and this song when I look at a photo I have of the Lake Michigan pier in Charlevoix on the day the Edmund Fitzgerald sank by Terry Salamon. The waves were splashing over to the top of the light tower.
If these two men had recorded an album together, with just their two acoustic guitars and their warm, soulful voices, I'd have bought it in a heartbeat. Just beautiful!
Their voices blended very nicely. And that guitar work! Two great guitarists in sync. Man, would I love to see the rehearsals for this appearance. That would be gold.
Its similar to how much fun George obviously had when he was part of the traveling wilburys. He got a chance to make music with men he respected and loved playing with
Watching this brings tears to my eyes.Tears for a lost time & such a diffrent world.These two encapsulated that world.All you men & leaders with hate * revenge in your soul.Put down your arms & listen to the sound of calm * gentle music that we all need so badly.
George was the reason I started playing guitar 60 years ago. Jimi was the reason that I'm a lifer. Both men left their legacies to so many, and left their lives too soon.
I remember seeing this live on SNL when it aired. This kind of performance was why the show was so loved at the time. It was a wonderful piece of music history.
@@jplmedley I respectfully disagree. There's never been a band like the Beatles and may never be again. Every record release at that point in time in history was exponentially better than the last. Even by today's standards their music is still excellent, especially considering it was done on 4 track tape. I know there are people that don't even like the Beatles, but I feel that's their loss.
@@Powertuber1000 Wasn't filmed like this obviously, it's a bad copy. My copy at home looks noticeably better and that's not even the best copy. SNL should post a restored version of this, but I'm not sure that they post past musical segments on their channel.
Both of them treated the other's creation with the utmost respect in this duet. Great music. They should have recorded an album together. They certainly could sing together very well.
This is marvellous. George and Paul compliment each other perfectly. And as others have noted, the respect they have for the other’s song and musicianship really shines through. Two musical giants in beautiful harmony. A real treat. ❤
I got chills listening to George sing homeward bound what beauty in their harmonies...I never knew they made this collaboration... I am pleased..thank you
I don't know how I can be even more impressed with George Harrison's guitar playing, singing, harmonizing, and gentle, humble stage presence, but after watching him play and sing with Paul Simon Simon's song Homeward Bound, I am totally gobsmacked. He is always so humble, as is Paul Simon. It would have been lovely if they had put out an album of acoustic songs together. Beautiful, just beautiful. Every time I listen to the Beatles or to one of them solo, it is a spiritual experience.
@@kevinskogg2179 Yeah humble loses all meaning there for Toney Lacey. I suppose his gentle charm gives off that vibe. Here come the Sun is good song that wears on you and becomes unctuous after many listens. Thanks that they followed it with a little more hard-edged Homeward Bound
I love these two - always have, but I would not use the word "humble" to describe them. Have you seen any of their interviews? Genius can be sharp, gentle, quiet, loud. But never humble.
Staggering; the amount of talent and sincerity in this video is incredible. Two ridiculously talented, young men/friends performing on a mainstream outlet. Never happens these dismal days. Lifts the heart, to say the least.
George was a Baritone while Paul is a Tenor. George handled the lower notes and Paul the higher notes, that is why they harmonized so perfectly together.
this song was the last played at a dear friend of mines funeral. he took his life at 14 years old, and knew that this was the song he wanted to play him off into the next chapter. this is the most beutiful rendtion of the most painful song that I know.
One very special moment in the history of music. George Harrison was 33 years old, in this SNL clip from 1976. The world is still missing the peace and love George brought in his music.
He's way better where he is right now with all the billshit that's going on these days , I'm sure he would be very disappointed with today's people stupidity, lack of intelligence and critical thinking skills , welcome to covidiots world...keep you distance put you mask on and obey .
George Harrison would have been the brightest star in any other band. This is one of the most beautiful songs that anyone has ever written. It is even clearly in the top 10 Beatles maybe even top 5 Beatles songs.
Para mí George fué, es y será el beatle subestimando pero tan bueno como sus compañeros y con temas increíbles por los que mereció mejor suerte👏🏻💚 el mejor para mí 👍🏻
Listening to Harrison's voice blend perfectly with Simon's in this performance, anyone can deduce that George's voice was the one containing the secret ingredient to the Beatles' phenomenal harmonies....
George’s voice can blend so perfectly. When I watch the video of the Beatles performing “Help!” at the blackpool night out, the backing harmonies with him and Paul are all I can listen to.
George has a lovely harmonizing voice, proven over and over with the Beatles and Wilburys. But this performance just shows how amazing Paul Simon is. He's going high to work around George, who has less flexibility.
George never understood how important his voice, music, - indeed, his presence - was to those of us who got him. Sure I loved the Beatles. Yes John Lennon. But he was the secret. He was that harmony between Paul's incredible range and John's powerful voice. He was always 'the man' to me. I play guitar, and have a small reputation as an aggressive hard rock/punk guy. But George was always my hero. He's been gone (it'll be) 22 years this coming November. That's how long my heart's been broken by his passing. I hope he's still hangin 'round when I get there.
Let’s have it right. George was the best looking Beatle. The funniest Beatle. Wrote Something, While My Guitar Gently Sleeps and fookin’ HERE COMES THE SUN. He then went on to write and record the best solo album - out of all of them. Then went on to create Handmade films. Producing Life of Brian, Time Bandits, and WITHNAIL & I !!!!! George wins it all in my book 😊😊😊❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏
That is a big part of the reason for the band to break up. This one is better than that one, this one is greater than that one, this one is more important than that one.
This is iconic. Timeless artists, what a cool colaboration. Hearing George Harrison sing Homeward Bound with his gentle and melifluous voice is so poetically heartening and brilliant. I love this
George contributed two number one singles on the last album the Beatles recorded. I think George was coming into his own even before he left the Beatles.
This is one of those songs, you can hear it 100 times, or 10,000,000 times - you'll never tire of it. George Harrison hit it out of the park and into the next universe with this one.
My God when Paul sings "here comes the sun" it's magical. His voice is so angelic and it fits the song so well. He and George's voices harmonize beautifully together.
So absolutely amazing, Paul Simon and George Harrison definitely should have done more together. Absolutely flawless singing and guitar playing by both.
Often when two greats come together they are less than the sum of the parts, but this really works, they sound wonderful together. It just works.Also interesting to think how George seems like such a good collaborator, he was the heart of the Travelling Wilburys and I think the Beatles really needed him, he didn't want the spotlight he just helped make it all work.
I think the reason is they respect the songs and their egos take second place to the music. So often the individual’s pride take centre stage and the music takes a back seat - not so here - the music is front and centre!
Harrison’s solo work is the only of the Beatles to approach Beatles quality harmonies IMO. His role was vastly underrated he was a true genius of pop harmony
George was the glue that held the Beatles together he was a great songwriter that was suppressed by Paul and john who were good songwriters but he got few out and made him the best beatle George was great something is the best love song ever written frank sinatra said that
Wow, doesn't get any better. On 11/29/2001 I was boarding a plane for a long business trip and thought, damn it's my 50th B-Day. Another lousy birthday, but worse, it was announced on early morning TV news that George Harrison died. I went into a BR stall and cried. Big tough guy who was drafted and did a tour as a Army Ranger (LRRP). So, I said, screw my trip and fly off to visit my favorite person on earth. Not my loving wife of 30 years or my mom of 50 years, who had her hands full with me growing up, but to see my grandmother. She lit up like a harvest moon seeing me. It was a perfect idea, and sadly not many more to come. She died shortly thereafter at 100. George always had a special place in my heart too. I think of that day often.
I love this performance and I have always believed that they chose which one of the other's song that would be played. Paul choosing Here Come the Sun and George picking Homeward Bound. I also love the little guitar flourishes that George adds to Paul's very somber and moving tune.
This looks like the SNL performance. I was watching this live when I was 8 yrs old. It triggered my love for music and guitars, and an attachment to George Harrison... Beautiful!
Correct -- this was a 1976 or so performance on early SNL by two legends. This and "Something" are my two favorites of George. Paul Simon is no slouch on the acoustic guitar either. Altogether a magical performance!
One of the most musically priceless moments in the history of television, hands down. I get teary eyed everytime I watch, and I remember watching it live. I really appreciate you posting.
When I see this I wish I could travel back to in time with my family to Wading River, NY on a snowy night with a fire going in the fireplace and watch this live as it happened.
Interesting fact: In 2021, Israeli radio held a hit parade of all Beatles songs for 6 straight hours. It was quite an event. Thousands of people participated and chose their most beloved songs. The song reaching no. 1 was "Here Comes the Sun". 2nd and 3rd places were George's as well: "Something" and "While My Guitar Gently Weeps". Well deserved.
George was the soul of the Beatles. Listen to how easily he fits in that middle harmony. All of them were brilliant, but George held it together. BTW: Imagine if Paul Simon and George Harrison wrote and made an album together!!
Don't look at "Thumbs Down". Look at the percentage thumbs up to thumbs down. Here...let me calculate it for you since I graduated high school... 0.0089% of total viewers gave this a thumbs down. That is...fewer than 1 in 100 gave this a thumbs down. That's like 15 thumbs down for every 1500 thumbs up (which ain't too shabby). (Keep in mind how many morons voted for Hillary in the 2016 primary knowing that would give all of us Trump!) And never forget that Intelligence is a bell-shaped curve with 100 as the mean ....AND you have NO IDEA how STUPID a 100 IQ is. Ahem...i.e. not needing state assistance but NOT VERY GODDAMN BRIGHT!! That is to say - they are "More to be pitied than scorned." AND...we are doomed.
Joking aside, this actually wasn't done during the live show on that Saturday but was pre-recorded on the Thursday prior. As I understand it, the audience for this were mainly just passersby from the street outside the SNL studio. How lucky were those people, to be there at just the right moment to get to see this!
Well, I’m not into the Beatles, but I’m surprised how good his singing voice is. This only thing I remember about him, is his death. I’m glad I can watch on him on RUclips and listen to his singing.
Wow, how can someone not be into the Beatles? they created so much incredible music! 50 years from now, they will be looked at the way many people look at artists like Beethoven, Bach, Brahms & those artists from many years ago! Thank You John, Paul & George for the amazing music you wrote as the Beatles & after the Beatles!
Yes this performance shows how great George's voice can be. It would've been nice if this was incorporated more into the Beatle's catalogue. With Lennon and McCartney, I can see why George was overlooked, but their catalogue would have been improved if they exploited George's abilities more.
All four of them were... well, fab. It was the perfect melding of talents. And George and Other Paul work beautifully together here. I never tire of this video.
Me too!!!! Would never have put them together! Assumed George was always in Dylans circle when in the US. Don’t get the feeling Simon hung out with Dylan. Wonder how these 2 got together and didn’t do a bit more over the years?
I remember watching this on TV when it aired for the very first time "Live", and thinking it was the greatest musical moment in TV history, save for The Beatles debut itself on Ed Sullivan. Now 44 years later, I realize that I was correct.
are you counting both guitars? 'cause i see only six tuning machines and six bridge pins on each guitar. i think you need a new Rx for your glasses. AND your ears.
John Michael The film is kinda blurry, so I was going more by the sound. Oh well, at least glasses can help my vision. There’s probably nothing that can be done about you being a rude person.
Jenny & Craig - you think that was rude? SMH. another PC snowflake heard from. at worst, my comment was MILDLY sarcastic. here's a tip: if you're too fragile to handle being called out for making an idiotic statement on a public forum, STOP MAKING THEM. what would you have us all do? permit FALSE statements to continue to circulate just because some shrinking violet might wither under scrutiny? alas, there's probably nothing that can be done about you being a stupid libtard.
Magnificent!!! I saw this on SNL when it happened. I was so thrilled & happy. Now all these years later, i finally see this again & i feel the same happy way again! It was wonderful to be a kid when these great artists were around playing great music. This was amazing. ☮️💟
old vietnam vet ... clearly remember driving busy freeway when the announcement hit me had to pull off .... sobbed for minutes before I could continue ... requiescat in pace George
The Beatles get together to record the songs for Abbey Road. George says "I got this song called Here Comes The Sun". Rest of the band "You got anything else?" George "I have a song called Something." Yeah, but he couldn't write songs. On arguably the best rock record every recorded, George has the two best songs on it.
He really hit the ball out of the park in the 9th inning, didn't he? George seemed to gain strength on each Beatles record, until he proved once and for all that The Beatles had three world-class songwriters.
Paul said that it was clear to him and John that George was peaking during those last couple of years of the bands existence. He denied that he could have achieved greatness without John George and Ringo, and that he was incredibly lucky. The interviewer was incredulous. Paul replied, "how many times do four guys like that get together and you are one of them?" Well, the answer is one time.
check their spotify plays - Here Comes the Sun is the most played, with over 200 MILLION plays MORE than all the other songs, sitting at 600,000 plays. Come Together is the second highest, sitting at 385 Million approx. Suck on that Lennon.
I still remember seeing this in 1976. Even as a stupid teenager, watching this on TV, I knew I had seen something very special.
I was their. We had stand by tickets and waited in the lobby of 30 Rock for hours. They gave out dress rehearsal tickets we didn't make the cut. They suggested if we wanted to wait for live show you could but no guarantee. My buddy were juniors in HS. We got lucky. It was awesome.

George is (and has always been) a precious jewel!! That's all!!
another world.. another time - oh, I have some wonderful memories - what wonderful music & sentiments - and I feel.... old & tired
I wanna cry. I wanna go back in time and tell George to never smoke, and get himself checked regularly.
Unfortunately, it's impossible
I remember seeing this real time. Awesome memories.
Such camaraderie between these great musicians, hardly seen these days, neither poetry in music nor the humility, times are a really changing !
I remember seeing this live on TV and being blown away. In terms of the "thumbs down" votes, I could easily turn it into a political commentary. But I'll let it rest.
Two of the greatest song writers performing -one- *two* of the greatest songs, nuff said.....probably should have included Homeward Bound in the title too, but hey certainly not complaining about the surprise bonus!
On other versions of this sequence there is audience cheering right at the end of George’s verse in Homeward Bound which is probably why he smiles exactly at that moment - strange...
yeah i was wondering about that too
Henrik Mikkelsen I was there that night. After this take they did both songs again. They also did Rock Island Line.
In between I asked George to play Dark Horse and he obliged.
This was filmed on the Thursday night prior to the live broadcast
Larry, thanks for your reply, thats amazing. Wow, and explains the different versions.
Henrik Mikkelsen You're welcome! After the take they used was complete, there was a break. Carly Simon and her crew left. I quickly asked if me and my mates could sit in their seats. We sat at their feet for 45 minutes while they fiddled around and re did those 2 songs.
I have photos of my mates entering the NBC with George, Olivia and their entourage.
This hits me right in the heart 😢
I always think of him and this song when I look at a photo I have of the Lake Michigan pier in Charlevoix on the day the Edmund Fitzgerald sank by Terry Salamon. The waves were splashing over to the top of the light tower.

Let’s have it right. George was the best looking Beatle. The funniest Beatle. Wrote Something, While My Guitar Gently Sleeps and fookin’ HERE COMES THE SUN. He then went on to write and record the best solo album - out of all of them. Then went on to create Handmade films. Producing Life of Brian, Time Bandits, and WITHNAIL & I !!!!! George wins it all in my book 😊😊😊❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏
That is a big part of the reason for the band to break up. This one is better than that one, this one is greater than that one, this one is more important than that one.
John was the funniest, Ringo the most handsome, RAM the best solo album, but all good points otherwise ;)
@@rubix71 Ringo was the funniest, Paul the most handsome and Plastic Ono Band the best solo album, but all good points otherwise:)
The biggest win was giving his life to Jesus
But Paul and John were better end of
This is iconic. Timeless artists, what a cool colaboration. Hearing George Harrison sing Homeward Bound with his gentle and melifluous voice is so poetically heartening and brilliant. I love this

🤩🎉❤🥰
The presence of a Beatle in the room must have made the audience feel in awe. George Harrison was my favorite Beatle of all. That voice……just magic.
My absolute favorite Beatle too.
Mine too.
And mine❤️
George was under--rated until they broke-up. Then he came into his own.
George contributed two number one singles on the last album the Beatles recorded. I think George was coming into his own even before he left the Beatles.
Paul Simon's harmonizing abilities are astounding. Not to mention his great guitar playing.
Paul Simon's guitar playing is amazing. Listening to his guitar lines is like listening to another song within a song.
Pretty good with the whole lyrics thing, too. Kid's got a future.
yeah Paul and Artie G hated each other but harmonized so incredibly well ...
True and one time playing with Dylan he had to face him instead of beside him, because he wanted to harmonize
Paul Simon is a massively underrated guitar player. One of my inspirations.
This is one of those songs, you can hear it 100 times, or 10,000,000 times - you'll never tire of it. George Harrison hit it out of the park and into the next universe with this one.
"Hit it out of the park and into the next universe"
@@yolowell9564 well ..... across the universe anyway
Arguably SNL's greatest musical moment of all time.
Your comments are well stated, cannot disagree.
You answered my question above. Thanks and yes I agree.
No doubt, Jonathan, no doubt. Two musical geniuses with different backgrounds, different paths to stardom, performing on stage together.
Could have even be greater if John and Paul showed up after invitation
True!
6 minutes and 38 seconds of musical perfection. The depth is just staggering.
My God when Paul sings "here comes the sun" it's magical. His voice is so angelic and it fits the song so well. He and George's voices harmonize beautifully together.
All that magic created with just 2 voices and 2 acoustic guitars. That's what good songwriting will get you.
So absolutely amazing, Paul Simon and George Harrison definitely should have done more together. Absolutely flawless singing and guitar playing by both.
He should have been a Wilbury
George was always horribly underrated as an acoustic guitarist. Paul Simon is a master of the instrument.
Their blend is perfect. Beautiful .
Often when two greats come together they are less than the sum of the parts, but this really works, they sound wonderful together. It just works.Also interesting to think how George seems like such a good collaborator, he was the heart of the Travelling Wilburys and I think the Beatles really needed him, he didn't want the spotlight he just helped make it all work.
I think the reason is they respect the songs and their egos take second place to the music. So often the individual’s pride take centre stage and the music takes a back seat - not so here - the music is front and centre!
Harrison’s solo work is the only of the Beatles to approach Beatles quality harmonies IMO. His role was vastly underrated he was a true genius of pop harmony
George was the glue that held the Beatles together he was a great songwriter that was suppressed by Paul and john who were good songwriters but he got few out and made him the best beatle George was great something is the best love song ever written frank sinatra said that
Beautifully and perfectly said. The kind of human being we all need more of.
George was the most well rounded. The best musician, the best singer, hellofa song writer outstanding guitarist.
Listen to this song is as if I came back home after a long long long journey.
Tks George.
Black home early and still here comes thes sun. And say: it is all right.
The look on Paul’s face at the end when George does the little improvisational piece on the guitar. Priceless!
Vou ver agora ! Não percebi! 🙏🏻
Wow, doesn't get any better. On 11/29/2001 I was boarding a plane for a long business trip and thought, damn it's my 50th B-Day. Another lousy birthday, but worse, it was announced on early morning TV news that George Harrison died. I went into a BR stall and cried. Big tough guy who was drafted and did a tour as a Army Ranger (LRRP). So, I said, screw my trip and fly off to visit my favorite person on earth. Not my loving wife of 30 years or my mom of 50 years, who had her hands full with me growing up, but to see my grandmother. She lit up like a harvest moon seeing me. It was a perfect idea, and sadly not many more to come. She died shortly thereafter at 100. George always had a special place in my heart too. I think of that day often.
I'll think of it now all the way down here in Australia
Thanks for sharing. I understand.
Thanks for your story, very emotional.
S K ♥️
That is a beautiful story! Great choice!!! So special for your grandmother and yourself
Holy crap, two geniuses for the price of one! You can tell they loved singing each other's songs and the guitar playing, solid.
One of my favorite George Harrison songs! RIP George
Hi Marlene💐💐
Two acoustic guitars, two great guitars players, two great singer- songwriters and nothing else! Wow!
I love this performance and I have always believed that they chose which one of the other's song that would be played. Paul choosing Here Come the Sun and George picking Homeward Bound.
I also love the little guitar flourishes that George adds to Paul's very somber and moving tune.
I so needed to rest my mine for a minute,and go back to relaxing.thank you ,🍀
George's music is some of the most beautiful ever written. Timeless. Great for sad times and the happiest of days❤
This looks like the SNL performance. I was watching this live when I was 8 yrs old.
It triggered my love for music and guitars, and an attachment to George Harrison...
Beautiful!
Correct -- this was a 1976 or so performance on early SNL by two legends. This and "Something" are my two favorites of George. Paul Simon is no slouch on the acoustic guitar either. Altogether a magical performance!
I miss the music that rose out of the 60's. Thank you Paul and George.
That last little lick from George made me smile.
And me as well!
That slight little nod from Paul Simon, too, you can tell he's like, "Nice!" Such an uplifting performance and I'm so glad it was recorded.
One of the most musically priceless moments in the history of television, hands down. I get teary eyed everytime I watch, and I remember watching it live. I really appreciate you posting.
When I see this I wish I could travel back to in time with my family to Wading River, NY on a snowy night with a fire going in the fireplace and watch this live as it happened.
Here Comes the Sun -- the new anthem of surviving coronavirus and leaving the hospital.
Agree!!!

One of the greatest moments in music that ever happened. I can't experience this without tears. Of joy. And gratitude.
me too
Same
yep same here
I agree. Was lucky enough to see it live on tv that night
yep... genuine talent and virtuosity will do that to ya every time. as juma put it, "music of true expression."
Two of the finest musicians/songwriters of our time. Together. How great is this?
Doug Chisam Wait till you hear of The Beatles
Wow the beatles? Never heard of them???
Interesting fact: In 2021, Israeli radio held a hit parade of all Beatles songs for 6 straight hours. It was quite an event. Thousands of people participated and chose their most beloved songs. The song reaching no. 1 was "Here Comes the Sun". 2nd and 3rd places were George's as well: "Something" and "While My Guitar Gently Weeps". Well deserved.
Thank you for sharing!
How awsome !
My fav.songs too.
George was The Beatles unsung hero. The quiet magician in the corner who held most their inspiration within his peaceful demeanor. I always knew that!
Two gentle souls prove that love and friendship is powerful in harmony.
OH YEAH !
❤❤
George was the soul of the Beatles. Listen to how easily he fits in that middle harmony. All of them were brilliant, but George held it together. BTW: Imagine if Paul Simon and George Harrison wrote and made an album together!!
Call it Here Comes Mrs. Robinson.
John was the Soul of the Beatles.
George was the Sweet Necar that held it together. George was Beatles Secert Weapon .
All lFOUR were the "soul" of the Beatles. THATS why they were the Beatles.
How I wish that album had happened. It just flowed like a geyser from these two!
Love these two great songwriters.
George was always my favourite Beatle when I was growing up in the sixties. I have never changed my mind. He is truly missed, God got the best.
Yeah. And my dear John also.
Mine too! A child of the 60s as well.
George was/is my favorite, too. Was a young teenager when Beatlemania began.
I don’t understand how people can put a finger down to this amazing song
It’s unthinkable
How about,
they are stupid.
Jim Grice Yes you’re right too much stupidity
Just jerks
Don't look at "Thumbs Down". Look at the percentage thumbs up to thumbs down. Here...let me calculate it for you since I graduated high school... 0.0089% of total viewers gave this a thumbs down. That is...fewer than 1 in 100 gave this a thumbs down. That's like 15 thumbs down for every 1500 thumbs up (which ain't too shabby). (Keep in mind how many morons voted for Hillary in the 2016 primary knowing that would give all of us Trump!) And never forget that Intelligence is a bell-shaped curve with 100 as the mean ....AND you have NO IDEA how STUPID a 100 IQ is. Ahem...i.e. not needing state assistance but NOT VERY GODDAMN BRIGHT!! That is to say - they are "More to be pitied than scorned." AND...we are doomed.
Who puts it down? Noone as I could see.
This was edited.
The audience applauded for so long when George was introduced that Loren Michaels had to cut a skit by 3 minutes
Joking aside, this actually wasn't done during the live show on that Saturday but was pre-recorded on the Thursday prior. As I understand it, the audience for this were mainly just passersby from the street outside the SNL studio. How lucky were those people, to be there at just the right moment to get to see this!
George's voice is incredible here. That vibrato is something else.
スゴイ２人ですね!名曲中の名曲😂ジョージ大好き!
I think I was such a McCartney fan I never really realized what a nice voice George had. Gorgeous.
Well, I’m not into the Beatles, but I’m surprised how good his singing voice is. This only thing I remember about him, is his death. I’m glad I can watch on him on RUclips and listen to his singing.
He was a beautiful human..the world misses him..
Wow, how can someone not be into the Beatles? they created so much incredible music! 50 years from now, they will be looked at the way many people look at artists like Beethoven, Bach, Brahms & those artists from many years ago! Thank You John, Paul & George for the amazing music you wrote as the Beatles & after the Beatles!
Yes this performance shows how great George's voice can be. It would've been nice if this was incorporated more into the Beatle's catalogue. With Lennon and McCartney, I can see why George was overlooked, but their catalogue would have been improved if they exploited George's abilities more.
All four of them were... well, fab. It was the perfect melding of talents.
And George and Other Paul work beautifully together here. I never tire of this video.
Good gravy! What an incredible treat! never knew these two played together. Oh, man, this is amazing.
Me too!!!! Would never have put them together! Assumed George was always in Dylans circle when in the US. Don’t get the feeling Simon hung out with Dylan. Wonder how these 2 got together and didn’t do a bit more over the years?
I remember watching this on TV when it aired for the very first time "Live", and thinking it was the greatest musical moment in TV history, save for The Beatles debut itself on Ed Sullivan. Now 44 years later, I realize that I was correct.
I saw it also in its original. I was 9 years old! Was amazing!
a Beatle singing Paul Simon's song was always my wet dream and here it goes
I think I was 15? The music on early SNL was amazing every single week. This was special. Everyone at school was talking about it on Monday
Elvis Presley on the ed Sullivan show or buddy holly on the show were great moments in time
This was the most poignant moment ever on SNL. It hit me deeply at its original airing, and I’m so glad it has been preserved
How wonderful. It’s like they’d been singing together for all their lives.
I love Paul’s face when George does that solo at the end. He’s like..oooo damn.
well, a one bar riff doesn't really qualify as a solo. just sayin...
On a 12-string, no less.
are you counting both guitars? 'cause i see only six tuning machines and six bridge pins on each guitar. i think you need a new Rx for your glasses. AND your ears.
John Michael The film is kinda blurry, so I was going more by the sound. Oh well, at least glasses can help my vision. There’s probably nothing that can be done about you being a rude person.
Jenny & Craig - you think that was rude? SMH. another PC snowflake heard from. at worst, my comment was MILDLY sarcastic. here's a tip: if you're too fragile to handle being called out for making an idiotic statement on a public forum, STOP MAKING THEM. what would you have us all do? permit FALSE statements to continue to circulate just because some shrinking violet might wither under scrutiny? alas, there's probably nothing that can be done about you being a stupid libtard.
Magnificent!!!
I saw this on SNL when it happened. I was so thrilled & happy.
Now all these years later, i finally see this again & i feel the same happy way again!
It was wonderful to be a kid when these great artists were around playing great music. This was amazing.
☮️💟
I remember watching it live too. SNL was must-watch TV back then. Cheers!
What great memories I miss them
Do you remember what year it was?
@@tove8719 aired November 20, 1976. Memorable.
Saw it
2 guitars, 2 voices, one perfect moment
In an alternative universe, the two biggest acts of the 60s were Simon and Harrison and John, Paul, Artie, and Ringo.
old vietnam vet ... clearly remember driving busy freeway when the announcement hit me had to pull off .... sobbed for minutes before I could continue ... requiescat in pace George
This could have gone on for hours. Two masters at what they do playing together. This is a blessing to watch and listen to. Beautiful. Thank you 🙏🏽
The Beatles get together to record the songs for Abbey Road. George says "I got this song called Here Comes The Sun". Rest of the band "You got anything else?" George "I have a song called Something." Yeah, but he couldn't write songs. On arguably the best rock record every recorded, George has the two best songs on it.
George is the superior Beatle.
He was a phenomenal musician/songwriter.
He really hit the ball out of the park in the 9th inning, didn't he? George seemed to gain strength on each Beatles record, until he proved once and for all that The Beatles had three world-class songwriters.
Paul said that it was clear to him and John that George was peaking during those last couple of years of the bands existence. He denied that he could have achieved greatness without John George and Ringo, and that he was incredibly lucky. The interviewer was incredulous. Paul replied, "how many times do four guys like that get together and you are one of them?" Well, the answer is one time.
check their spotify plays - Here Comes the Sun is the most played, with over 200 MILLION plays MORE than all the other songs, sitting at 600,000 plays. Come Together is the second highest, sitting at 385 Million approx. Suck on that Lennon.
No auto tune, no processing. Just 2 great guitar players singing.
Patrick Downing And 2 great singers playing guitar!
Pure/raw talent at its best....something from a bygone era and lacking in today's music
I was thwlve years old when this aired. I feel I witnessed something. I'm in my 50's now and watch this clip often, pleasant memory
I remember watching this when it happened. Thinking to myself this is music history!!
Harrison/Simon > Simon/Garfunkel. Sorry not sorry
2020 1.30 I remember watching that show as it happened. Time hasn't diminished the greatness of that collaboration.
Never will. Good stuff has no time limit.
