Even Ringo Starr was seriously under rated. Great drummer and singer. The Beatles had 4 exceptional men in that amazing band.
Too true sir.
Best is still at it 😮
Rare that the whole band could sing.
Lindíssima sou Maria do Brasil
@@josedecampos3915,oi, há muitos fãs do George no Brasil, Maria, eu sou um também. Amo George❤❤
Jeff Lynne put it out there: George Harrison is the most gifted and elegant slide guitarist ever!
yep
He was so precise.
@@captinbeyond There is no slide guitar on the song Get Back.
I agree totally
Beautiful slide guitarist.
Probably the most distinctive guitar sound there is. You know it's George when you hear it. 🇬🇧❤️
Si si y siiiii
How true George was one of a kind
This song ( together with some others ) so reminds me of the type of songs that he wrote
for "The Traveling Wilburys." It would fit so nicely on one of their albums !
I was just watching Lethal Weapon 2 for the first time since I was a kid (it hasn't aged as well as the original film), and when the credits rolled I immediately recognized his slide guitar despite having no knowledge of the song. Great song too!
Love his slide! Especially on "My Sweet Lord" ❤❤✝✝
What a great clip. George sounding and looking fabulous! He had great hair. His slide guitar is sublime as always! Damn how I miss this guy. George, you are forever in my heart and never forgotten. Love you! ❤️🔥🎸🎶😘
Forever George......
Beautiful hair
Not a single wasted note was ever played when George played slide guitar. He crafts such memorable lines that are lyrical and musical, not to mention having timing, tone and touch in spades. All this and a superb song writer, a gentleman by everyone's account plus a Beatle. We need your spirit, wisdom and music more than ever in this crazy world. You are forever missed.
Well said my friend
asi es !
stratmad - Perfectly put. And thanks so much for posting this.
And a wonderful sense of humour on top of it all. Ask the Pythons.
@@noname-hf3fv yes
I’m pretty sure that guitar felt George’s soul. What a melancholic way to play the guitar it feels like the guitar was literally crying. Thats George Harrison, one of the best guitar players of all time
So many solo guitarists have impressed us with so many notes, but only George has been able to impress with as few notes as possible!
George never played the most notes; he only played the right ones.
@@TheChiMan60 Beautifully said.
That's really true..
Heartfelt phrasing and notes.
Great observation... his contributions always seemed "tasty".
I’ve always admired George Harrison’s slide playing … No one else sounds like him… and this is absolutely the best I’ve ever heard from him!☮️❤️🎸
Totally agree. Wonderful, melodic slide playing!
The late great great George Harrison.That says it all
I simply LOVE George Harrison, what else can I say.
All in on LOVING George ❤️ Harrison
Same here! Love all The Beatles... In 1970 it was more George because he came out with "All things must pass" I had the album for home, and I bought an 8-track
for my car so, I was always listening to this Masterpiece.
Me too , absolutely what can I say ?
Let me tell You are not the only one , What a great musician He was
Long live George
Cheers
Mann muß ihn lieben ♥
His slide technique is the most exquisite you will ever hear... George was totally original in his approach to slide guitar !!🤩
This man will always be my favorite Beatle. Rest in peace.
Me too 😢😢😢❤❤❤
The modest genius.
Nobody can bring over this Song with so great quality.....
the exact opposite of what kanye west is.
@Harold Sermon sempre achei ele o melhor luiz carlos
There isn't a moment in life in which his essence does not still hold power. George is gone, yet he is here. His love still resonates. Years on. Eternally...
Beautifully said 👍❤️
I will always love this man.
His music, his guitar seemed to play his beautiful soul like no one else...
@@paulasmith638 +++!!!Он потрясает своей гармонией,это нечто нематериальное.
Великолепный Джордж, мы тебя помним и любим!!! ❤
George was an incredible spiritual being. We were so very lucky to be here with him.
NAILED IT ... UNDEFINED BLOODY BRILLIANCE !!!
I love this late 1980s period for George. Cloud Nine, the Travelling Wilbury’s, and this largely unknown gem. I remember hearing it for the first time over the closing credits for ‘Lethal Weapon 2.’
The second golden age of george
I was working in a movie theater when Lethal Weapon 2 was playing. I used to volunteer to clean this theater after every showing ONLY because I got to listen to this song during the credits.
EXACTLY the same thing happened with me. Total shocker. Normally, got up and booked out as the credits rolled, but then this unkonwn song came on with the haunting slide guitar and I stuck around long enough to hear a voice that was unmistakably George. I remember turning to a friend who was there with me and saying "I think this is George Harrison." He shrugged his shoulders becasue that didn't mean anything to him. But to me, it was just pure gold. Stayed til the end of the song and didn't want the song to stop. Went out and searched for it, but the only thing I could find at Tower Records was the incredibly horrible soundtrack to the film which had an utterly forgettable Clapton cover of Knockin' on Heavens Door and an embarassing Beach Boys song that was all Mike and zero Brian (never a good thing). I remember liking the film at the time. . .then I happened upon it about 15 years later on TV and found it almost completely unwatchable. The song was released years later on a "Best of GH Vol 2" collection. Cheer Down is still my fav post-ATMP song by George [and there are a LOT of good songs he wrote after 1970]. In my opinion, this counts as the BEST solo-Beatle recording that almost nobody ever heard of. At least that's the impression I have when I speak with most people who are familiar with the Beatles. They all know Imagine, My Sweet Lord, Gimme Some Truth, Band on the Run, Handle With Care, Jet, It Don't Come Easy, etc. Most have never even heard of this song. . .which is strange as this has nearly 2.5 mil views. Maybe it's finally getting its moment in the sun?
@@mickrabinhe-him-hispronoun6304 I've long said that "Hey Bulldog" is the best Beatles recording that almost nobody has heard of, and you make a good argument for "Cheer Down" on the solo front. Listening to it again right now.
This was in 1991
Solo brilliant, George was the best slide guitarist in history!
He didn't do slide on all things must pass*. Wonder why not ?
Where did you hear that? He definitely played slide on that album. www.beatlesbible.com/people/george-harrison/albums/all-things-must-pass/
Jeff Lynne can play slide guitar too.
Just saying. They were close friends.
Duane Allman was the best slide player. George is just a great musician and wrote great spiritual sounds
I always shed a tear when i hear this.
Great guitar playing George.
Me too….
His slide guitar is such a silky, smooth buttery wonderfulness in your ears.
George, the master of slide guitar 🎸. Thank you for giving us the best of yourself. Your music, wittiness, and spirituality. You're forever in our hearts.
I wonder if his George’s sitar work
influenced his slide guitar maestro work……
I think I remember that Clapton taught George how to play slide. That is why he asked Eric to play lead on My Guitar Gently Weeps.
No, you are right he was the best at slide. He learned it from Delaney and Bonnie if you remember them in 60s awesome
it's hard to say he's underrated, but i feel like not enough people talk about George Harrison as one of the greatest musicians of all time. It's amazing how many talented musicians actually made up the Beatles. All of them were so damn good at music... period.
Just check Twitter and you will see that George trends every now and then on Twitter...real music lovers know his worth and he is loved and missed by millions... he is my favorite Beatle and musician ❤️
@@marjanp4784 It's from 1990
@@frixostheanimator435 I don't understand your comment. Nobody here is talking about the date of the concert...
All Things Must Pass is a masterpiece. He and Eric mould so well together.
Божественно хороши, а это значит:навечно!
George's slide was truly divine. Such an emotive expression of his beautiful soul. Not to mention how incredibly well crafted and gorgeous his solos and guitar work was in general. One of the greatest of all time.
Yes
Fantastic
I thought I'd heard all of George's best . I heard this very recently and absolutely love the way it touches my heart
REALMENTE UNA BELLISIMA CANCION,GEORGE, GRACIAS POR DARNOSLA A CONOCER Y QUE DIOS TE BENDIGA , FELICIDADES Y TE AMAMOS Y EXTRAÑAMOS MUCHO IGUAL A JOHN ,RINGO Y PAUL

I absolutely love this song. First time I heard it was at the end of Lethal Weapon 2 and been in love with it ever since. RIP Mr. Harrison.
Absolutely! But then after some time this one's become the one I keep coming back to for my George fix :>)
Yup! That's the first time I heard it too. I knew it was George right away and wondered where that gem came from?
So did I...

@@marjanp4784 A DAY IN THE LIFE??
The voice the guitar sound the music the magic !!! Legend!!!!!
Hello Jean, how are you doing?
Happiness is a warm gun and a Geo Harrison slide guitar solo.
This song puts a smile on your face when life has been unfair. Such a talented man, Sir George Harrison💜
Hello Theresa, how are you doing?
"George Harrison is one of the greatest, if not the greatest, slide guitarist ever" - Jeff Lynne of ELO
Must have never heard Ry Cooder, Elmore James, Muddy, etc.
@@RollingOrmond Um, yeah. Pretty sure that Jeff Lynne has heard more music that you even know about. Get over yourself. That's what Jeff said and thought. You are allowed to think differently. Are you a world-famous musician, though, like Jeff is?
I have to admit even though I’m a massive George fan Duane Allman has to be the best slide player however that shouldn’t take anything from George’s amazing playing
George thought Ry Cooder was the greatest, but Ry loved George too.
George was one of the most emotive slide players.
George's slide makes me feel like dancing and crying at the same time. Why is that?
Me too.
Because it's so emotive.
Probably because he's dead
@@booishoois309 No "halo effect " going on here, he was just a first rate slide player.
George at a unique talent at slide he could make you cry at the brilliance of is slide work
The late great George Harrison. Fabulous song.
George never gave in, never gave up, and never sold out. People like that never really die...they live on forever!
when I listen to george I can't be unbiased, i love him too much
True. What's not to love? Cute, funny, talented. He's got it all! 😍
George was the master of cool chord progressions.
the quiet beatle....the spiritual......always
This song is so amazingly clever and melodic. George at his wittiest!
Amen brother
The most talented Beatle of them all.
What a great song...that slide guitar is haunting...Miss you, the quiet Beatle !
Koth Ganesh he is far from quiet you know.
And more than a Beatle.
Those who were close to him laughed at that 'quiet Beatle' title he got. They said he never shut up. :D It was probably hard for him to get a word in edgewise on camera when Lennon and McCartney were always gabbing away.
Quiet Beatle? Maybe onstage. George was the mystic.
Raymond Frye mystic & sweet. ❤️
George Harrison is the reason I started playing guitar, and I dedicate my every solo to him.
One of the greatest and most inventive slide players ever and the most underrated guitarist in the world.
I AGREE
How can a Beatle be underrated?
@@juanman1 You'll have to ask the people who do so. I don't see it at all, but there are people who do.
Still missing him especially when I hear that slide!
Beatles❤Girl me toooooo
A lot of his songs would change a word out of a popular expression. "The Silent One" by the Doos (Stevie Riks) is a nice tribute to his sound.
I might have only been 10. But I was in at the beginning . With love me do.
His songs are brilliant ; he is a genius. Long live The Beatles music. Its iconic. 😉😛😉
Amen! May He Rest in Peace. God Bless.
Happiness is George Harrison and his Guitar
NEVER GET TIRED OF THIS SONG.. RIP GEORGE
Harrison turned out to be the best composer of The Beatles. His music is inspiring, spiritual, everlasting. And his slide guitar playing is fantastic.
That is the TRUTH! He was the Beatles' lead guitarist, and the lead was always great!
It really is, and he did far more than he was credited for on the lads songs in the Beatles. Nor did he want. Lovely soul.
Great, yes. Best composer in the Beatles? Simmer down there, Sparky.
He always played second fiddle to Paul'but deserved much more exposure 🙄
Very much talented musician pioneer of the Sound of Music
Of course we all know George Harrison as one of the most important and influential musicians and guitarists of the century, but along with his many prodigious talents was his brilliant and signature slide guitar playing, beautifully in evidence on the above referenced, My Sweet Lord. George had stated that he never really considered himself a great slide guitar player, but the truth is he put his own distinct stamp on slide guitar technique as effectively as few have.
whenever he does a guitar slide, you know it's him. you don't have to hear him sing or see him play. you just know it by ear.
Constantine Pheikrishvili w
The best thing about george's guitar playing is the choice of notes, when and where to place it. Truly a master, a no non-sense guitarist
John Lennon saw Georges potential "all those years ago" and indocrinated him into the band on the spot!
@@HopliteWarlord and George ended up teaching John how to play guitar coz Lennon was only familiar with 4 strings😂🤣 he didn't even know that guitar had 12 strings... George said "what the hell are you playing?"...
I've been a guitarist since 1961 when I was nine years old and played professionally for years and also taught over twenty six years so I know what I'm talking about. The way he plays so clean and so effortlessly is not easy. He was so underrated it's really a shame. One of the true greats both as a player and composer.
Agree! Not a single error or semi-error anywhere in this live performance! I can't pull that off in my living room let alone on stage.
I can see by your grin
That you're trembling within
It's all over town, cheer down
And the smile on your face
Is sometimes out of place
Don't mind, no frowns, cheer down
If your hair should fall
If your shares should crash
You'll get by even without getting a rash
There's no tears to be shed
I'm gonna love you instead
I want you around, cheer down
When your teeth drop out
You'll get by even without taking a bite
If your dog should be dead
I'm gonna love you instead
The world loves a clown, cheer down
I want you around, cheer down
Hey go write the words backwards and sing them sideways Clown!
Beautiful! George is a great singer.
Yes and he's a great guitarist and songwriter. One of my favorite Harrison songs.
Beautiful George Harrison .. loved how he played that guitar .. the best!! he will always be missed .. there is & will always be one George Harrison .. Rest in Eternal peace
HARE KRISHNA🎉❤🎉😊
Oh do I miss this man. My favorite Beatles solo artist!
What a great live performance by George, he was so underrated!!
HARE KRISHNA🎉❤🎉
WHO underrated him?
I can listen to George all day.
George would've turned 75 today. Happy birthday and RIP.
a tiny glimpse at the unique unbridled brilliance of George Harrison --- absolute musical magician ... a massive void has existed since 2001 ... Blessings always George !!!
His simplistic way of note/chord presentation is fantastic. Simple, well structured perfect timing makes the simplest chords sound out of this world.
Even Paulie says Ringo was a much needed corner stone
As well with George
This song 's so beautiful, the slide guitar solo so perfect : tears in my eyes... Thanks George 💖💖💖
Hello Nicole, how are you doing?
a really great song nicole
George's slide guitar on the song 'Beautiful Girl' off of his album '33 1/3' can still give me shivers at age 61. First heard it on my mom's eight-track at age 16.
George the King Of Slides
Had to see how he played this beast of a song and the fact he perfectly performed it live, and that it's all done with a strat and a pinkie slide is insane.
The most elegant guitar work i’ve heard
Nice slide on this. Thanks Clapton for persuading him to do this tour.
It worked both ways. George was also giving Eric a hand, since he had recently lost his son. Speaks volumes of the kind of relationship they had.
I always wished Eric Clapton joined the Traveling Willberries...
@@mcgannahanskyjellyfetti1663 that would've been cool. he would've derek wilbury.
And his amazing band
Tú música y voz me retrotrae .... siempre estarás conmigo
Amongst the many reason that I love and respect George Harrison, it was his wonderful skills on slide guitar that always captivated me. He plays these sublime melodic lines that cut to the point every single time with 0 notes wasted. Just magical.
90% of his slide work was done in standard tuning, not blues style in open E, D, G, etc.
He did play that style but mainly on recordings. It's a testament to his knowledge of
the guitar fretboard. By playing in standard pitch, he played those beautiful melodies
just as he would have if he were not playing with a slide. He knew the notes and had
a wonderful sense of melody. George was rather underrated as a player, especially for
slide guitar. His intonation was perfect, his notes were clear, and he understood that
slide guitar is just that - sliding. Sounds silly but it's true. George and his instrument
were one.
Riggs and Murtaughs' bond put to music.
In a shipping container.
When I was 16, I experienced this concert with my father. I would like to thank George for choosing Osaka-jo Hall as the venue for the performance.
One of the best solos of all time and maybe the best slide guitar solo ever. George was a gift to art and spirituality. I wish he was still around. 🖖❤
His guitar playing is killing me! What a touch!
A true blessing to humanity. Heaven is lucky to have him.
queda claro porque perteneció al grupo mas emblemático del rock, una joya esta rola. Viva por siempre Harrison.
A shining example of the very high standard at which George performed live .
Really? Better go check his tour in '74. Lol Just sayin' Love me some George, but that tour had way too much Peruvian marching powder backstage.
@@markvaught9510 Cmon man It was 1974 What did ya expect/? Sobriety?
grand master of slide guitar!
Greatest there was and is.
I’ve been in Metel bands, Thrash bands, Punk bands, Rock bands, Indy bands, Alternative bands, and played a little Country n Blues. But when I hear music like this, that’s coupled with humor and music of serious emotional content, it tells me exactly where I am from. Being a former kid, The Beatles were my first real band that I took to heart. Without them in my life, I wouldn’t be who I am today. And that’s a man that is full of Love and can still fight the tyranny of hate and the always present monsterhead of ignorance.
Thanks fellas

I miss him, he was so beautifully talented
Yeah Yeah Yeah I agree with you Robbie..I heard George 100th times.!at 74 years old I still luv him and music..weird fact..but its true that I listened to George and his other songs to help relax me ( dentist 😬 recommended 👌) when I had 14 teeth extracted 2 years ago..this is a true happening. Peace Yall
Wow, the last solo, is just amazing, love you George......never saw George play this long and very beautiful......
Oh my, that is the beauty of George Harrison music, no matter what he does all his song always sound good, we all miss you George, hope you are making music up there with the rest of gang.
When Lethal Weapon 2 played in the theatre, my wife and I saw it, and like everyone else that night where mesmerized by the ending song. When it finished, someone said, "Who sang that?" I said, "That was George Harrison." Someone said and to think, he played third fiddle. What a group.
best song
@@noname-hf3fv Yes, but by Abbey Road, sadly their last recorded album he was on an equal footing I'd say.
@@jamesdunn9714 i agree with you, he was a late bloomer... By the beatles standard...
if only the Beatles were to live for few more years, it would be Georgie's turn to outclass the other two maestro.... i believe.
Yeah, but anyone making a Top 5 Beatles Songs list is going to include While My Guitar Gently Weeps and Here Comes the Sun... and I'd probably put Something on there as well. Quietly, he was the best of the lot.
George único y más clase no se puede tener❤
Class act, he's doing a difficult piece and concentrating intently. It's quite unusual making a guitar sound like a sitar.
George has a special voice. I have always loved hearing him sing. He was a very talented man. He had the most beautiful brown eyes ever. His hair was fabulous no matter the style. Handsome gorgeous George!!!!😻❤️❤️😻❤️😻❤️😻❤️😻😻❤️😻❤️😻❤️😻❤️😻❤️😻❤️😻
Yes he's so handsome he looked like a holy man he's very spiritual great hair and always so polite all the Beatles are handsome good looking men
Always was the Best Beatle and will always be my Favourite Musician ever!
,❤️❤️💪😁😁🙃
Amo ésta canción, amo a George Harrison.
Absolutely unique and timeless. I truly had a feeling there was something in the air these last few days. 20 years since you passed beyond.
I absolutely get goose bumps when I watch and hear this song. And tears. Wish he was still living!
As George would have said, he is still living.
George himself might tell you that death is inevitable. Nor is it the end. He created so much for us to love. These creations are the form in which he is still with us and in us.
he is !
Only 58. Far too young!
I agree completely!
R.I.P
George, One of the best guitarist ever ! since the "Fabfour" years, God Bless !
Eric’s band never sounded so good. George’s slide playing is obscene. Just phenomenal..
George had to be the only man who can share a stage with Clapton and be in the centre spotlight for a guitar solo.
No, Mark knopfler too....😎
@@win32andromeda Oh, yeah!
Oh George, I love you and your beautiful music. You are the best! ❤️❤️❤️😻😻😻❤️❤️❤️
Love love love love this song.
History will document the obvious. This was the most talented member of the best band ever. Sinatra said he wrote the best love song ever with "Something." My favorite of George's songs was "I Need You."
Excelente música do Harrison.
He never did riff slide work. He did complimentary and alternate melody... singing slide I'd call it. Kind of like Thelman played mouth organ. To that idea, George pretty much invented his own "George Harrison" sound with his slide playing... on top of all the other stuff he did so uniquely over the years. What a gift to us all. Lyrical and melodic slide playing. Never heard a slide sound like it until after he did it first. Just saying ;-)
Nice call on the Toots comparison. Dead on. What's so compelling about George's slide playing (aside from the tone, emotion, economy, and command of Melody, rhythm, and intonation) is that he really developed his own vocabulary. He doesn't play blues-based slide like Duane or Gilmour, he doesn't play like Ry. He left the Beatles where I don't think he ever played slide and immediately put out ATMP where he establishes his new language and instantly created a wholly signature sound all his own. Such a great player and songwriter.
George is so relaxed here. The performances on this tour showed just how great and natural he was. Considering he didn’t really like touring he was excellent when he chose to be. I think ultimately after the Beatles broke up he was a part time musician and he wrote and recorded when he felt like it. A fantastic talent and he will never be forgotten.
Rest in peace George.

Anyone that takes on playing slide guitar knows just how hard it can be and how easy it is to mess up. He isn't bottle necking open tuning, it's standard tuning. George's slide playing solos are always great, always memorable. He has a touch that would be difficult to replicate and if you didn't know the song, you could recognize George right away. I noticed that he finger picks the notes as opposed to using a pick, which adds to the originality of his slide work. I just love it.
No one plays slide guitar as clean, tasteful, sparing, and as much in service to the song as George Harrison. Trust me, it takes skill to be able to play bottleneck slide as cleanly and with as much control as George.
that solo omg beautiful
Good Lord..his guitar playing ..an absolute masterpiece!
What a wonderful guitar sound!
One of my favorites from George. It is a perfect song for my daily mood.
