Harry joined 'Liverpool', The Band at Beatlefest 92. to sing.. "Without You" (originally by Badfinger), and "You Can't Do That" (originally by The Beatles) Enjoy.
One of the most underrated and incredible male vocalists of all-time. Before he blew out his vocal cords battling John Lennon in some contest, this guy was phenomenal.
Miss this man sooooooooooo damn much! As in such poor health at this point in his life and his voice not in form, he gave it all! Thank you so very much for this historic space in time. Give Peace A Chance - ultimate goosebumps. RIP John and Harry.
“In 1974 things would forever change for Nilsson. During a late-night party and jam session Nilsson and Lennon engaged in a screaming match to see which one could out do the other. In the process, Nilsson irreversibly ruptured a vocal cord. He chose to keep that information from Lennon in fear that the Liverpudlian would put a stop to the production of the album Pussy Cats, which they had been collaborating on.
When I hear this performance of Without you, my heart just sinks. ❤😢 RIP Harry, Harry, Harry….what has become of you? My heart is heavy and my eyes are full of sorrow…to see you like this. God bless!
Harry was a very unique talent who took chances and created some memorable music. Unfortunately, he also was a well-known party animal. Rest in peace, Harry.
Really think if he was able to live into the 2000s or 2010s he would have def gotten to touring. This is the closest thing to live that he did in many ways. He’s so missed
@Ian Salyer while I was a huge Beatles fan, I didn't quite know Nilsson other than his association with Lennon and Without You. I wish I had at the time I saw him alive.
@@kimwood9119 It was a temporary injury, his voice recovered after. As some one else said his voice being out of whack here is more likely to be that he was drunk.
Message from JImmy Buffett who just left "BUBBLES UP" THX YOU TWO GOATS Never knew who wrote these treasures. what got me here was Jimmy Buffet who in an interview with his daughter JIMMY expressed his deep admiration of Harry Somtimes on this trashed planet angels are sent in but this low level planet takes a toll on these higher level creative beings and they fall into the Quagmire of the mess we lower level beings have created on this third world planet. Harry happy to hear and see you even after the toll this dark planet has taken on you but You came in to mission immposible and added tons of light RiP you did what could Thanks for the help Harry RIP. God speed on your cosmic journey out of this dump.God bless Not your fault. Only JESUS!!!!!
Watch the documentary "Whatever happened to Harry Nilsson" it explains how he blew out his voice with John Lennon both taking turns SCREAMING in the studio... Sad.... He had arguably the GREATEST voice in the 70's era....
@@bearbear4389 Most I agree... There are a handful that kept their voices intact over the years. David Crosby was one of them.. Robert Plant another...
To Vista... You might want to amend your video description to include the song names "Without You" (originally by Badfinger), and "You Can't Do That" (originally by The Beatles).
This is so cool! Wish I could have been there. I understand he didn't like to perform live very often. (Edit: Yikes, he's not at his best in this performance.)
He sounded incredibly good here, considering how badly he damaged his voice in the mid 1970's. That first verse of "Without You" in particular sounded damn good.
So sad. "Without You" WAS his song. Yes, his voice is still recognizable, but barely. So pathetic the way this great man sends his voice randomly wandering around attempting to find the right pitch before sadly leaving it. His sickness is evident in this video, and we understand why this has become his last appearance before his untimely death. Kids, stay off booze or this will happen to you too.
So sad how Harry threw it all away. Until the accident that blew his vocal chords he was the most incredible singer I ever heard. Right up there with Elvis for originality and sound. He also wrote some great songs including a bunch of hits for da Monkees!.
Why was he wearing sunglasses? Why did he want to hide his eyes? Hopefully, he wasn't on drugs. Generally, that's the reason why well-known people wear sunglasses.
does it really matter. drugs would have fueled him, giving him energy, it was part of his make up. so much energy with creative people, attracts self abuse.
As someone who grew up listening to Nilsson from a very young age, this is very sad to listen to. Here, Harry sounds like your average drunken guy doing karaoke on a Wednesday night at the neighborhood tavern.

The best he was
Yes , amazing Nilsson. Great musician, RIP.
Harry's greatness still comes through !! R.I.P. Harry
Harry defined "Legend" and will never die.
brave and vulnerable performance . It shows how passionate he was about ending gun violence and how much Jons death affected him
Yeah, I’m guessing he didn’t much hang with Ted Nugent.
Miss you Harry. Was so great being able to talk with you and seeing you perform from 81 to 93, at the LA Beatlefest
Miss this man sooooooooooo damn much! As in such poor health at this point in his life and his voice not in form, he gave it all! Thank you so very much for this historic space in time. Give Peace A Chance - ultimate goosebumps. RIP John and Harry.
Amen. I carry that song in my heart through many many years and still today 💋🎉
My favorite song of all time!
He sang it. Thats what they wanted. God bless him
A classic hard to hold back the tears
IMHO he was up there with the great songwriters and singers. That voice in the late 60s and early 70s

I love you Harry!!
Thank you for sharing this amazing video of Harry
He survived another two years after this. Well done, sir!
Yes, a massive heart attack.
R.I.P.
Destroyed himself with substance abuse. Sad.
not really mullet head, he died fairly young
Thank you for sharing this . i couldn't stop crying . its NILSSON !
Thank you for posting 🤘🤠❤️
You hit it bud Great job and God bless
Harry was a very unique talent who took chances and created some memorable music.

Fuckin Harry.... You were amazing
We'll love Harry forever....
Harry Rules!
My hero- best singer ever.
A giant as songwriter (The Monkees), his own hits and two wonderful, timeless albums of the all-time great songs from 30's-40's-50's.
很高興聽到HARRY親唱此曲的第二個版本~
From Google translate
"Glad to hear Harry sing the second version of this song in person"
Harry the man !
He is still great!
Really think if he was able to live into the 2000s or 2010s he would have def gotten to touring. This is the closest thing to live that he did in many ways. He’s so missed
Well he killed his vocal chords by having a screaming contest with someone can't remember who
@@housebaelishgaming :
John Lennon.
Two years of their "lost weekend".
Harry had a beautiful voice, and three octaves, I believe.
Rarely did live things, hated crowds,
Amazing performance. Knowing what we know. Yes. Painful. But it rocks!!!
MELHOR VERSÃO QUE ESCUTEI ATÉ HOJE!😢
Google Translate....BEST VERSION I'VE HEARD UNTIL TODAY
feelin' this
I was there and I remember he looked and sounded very drunk. He passed a couple years later
@Ian Salyer while I was a huge Beatles fan, I didn't quite know Nilsson other than his association with Lennon and Without You. I wish I had at the time I saw him alive.
alcohol changes his voice
@@mbuckholz :
Unfortunately, Harry also was a heavy smoker.
Yeah.. it showed
Because he looked and sounded like dog shit.
He was born in 41.
His voice sounds fine.
My mom was born in 41. And I am 65. My voice has changed too.😊
This is sad his beautiful voice of 20years before this video. He didn't take care of his voice so sad.
He blew his vocal chords out in a stupid competition with another singer google it can't remember who
@@housebaelishgaming :
John Lennon.
Two years of their "lost weekend."
@@kimwood9119 It was a temporary injury, his voice recovered after. As some one else said his voice being out of whack here is more likely to be that he was drunk.
@@kandigloss6438 Im sure he recorded most of his music at least somewhat drunk. Mostly his health had been in decline
@@brohemian just like all the best, MES, and Layne stanly
Me encanta descanse en paz

Here is the writer, Pete Ham (Badfinger) demo-ing "Without You"
ruclips.net/video/wJq9cpmKCuY/видео.html
What a shame. This man had a
3 and a half octave range and one of the best voices of the 60s and 70s. Very sad to see what happened.
Watch the documentary "Whatever happened to Harry Nilsson" it explains how he blew out his voice with John Lennon both taking turns SCREAMING in the studio... Sad.... He had arguably the GREATEST voice in the 70's era....
@@yourthaiguy Really tho, he still had range after that. I think it's the coke and alcohol that's mainly to blame.
@@hrromanslaparsso4403 good point!
Happens to everyone.
@@bearbear4389 Most I agree... There are a handful that kept their voices intact over the years. David Crosby was one of them.. Robert Plant another...
04:54 great improv
Sad that bad health and hard living befell this legendary Swede American.
no body cares that he was Swedish, he was an American
Rip
Heart breaking my how i loved this song as a naive 18 year old
BEAT LE FEAST!
To Vista... You might want to amend your video description to include the song names "Without You" (originally by Badfinger), and "You Can't Do That" (originally by The Beatles).
Thank you James.
This is so cool! Wish I could have been there.
I understand he didn't like to perform live very often.
(Edit: Yikes, he's not at his best in this performance.)
He never toured.
His music transcends him.
❤
I was there remember him being very drunk
👍👍
You damaged his voice with drink and drugs over the years god bless him.
Legend 👍❤️🇬🇧
He sounded incredibly good here, considering how badly he damaged his voice in the mid 1970's. That first verse of "Without You" in particular sounded damn good.
Oh dear.
I know a transgender mute from Brazil that’s loving this
rip pete ham , tom evans
😢😢😢😢
Sad he didn't get sober
Pretty sure he's had a few to drink .
😂
❤🎉😢 KB ck facial
jonh lennon would be very praud
Very sad
You can tell here that his voice is still intact but as usual Harry is drunk which is probably why he is off key
I love Harry, I really do but I think he had chutzpah in spades to perform. It wasn't good.
Love you Harry. Awful recording
Painfully vulnerable, as always
So sad. "Without You" WAS his song. Yes, his voice is still recognizable, but barely. So pathetic the way this great man sends his voice randomly wandering around attempting to find the right pitch before sadly leaving it. His sickness is evident in this video, and we understand why this has become his last appearance before his untimely death. Kids, stay off booze or this will happen to you too.
Unfortunately, booze; and Harry was a heavy smoker.
He had congenital heart disease as well.
He screwed up his own lyrics...
ひどい変わり方。ジョンレノンとの馬鹿騒ぎから声を失い、2度と復活しなかった。わたしは以前のハリーを心から愛していた。😊
A little off key...😢
Please don't listen to this, if you like his original version. Painful.
So sad how Harry threw it all away. Until the accident that blew his vocal chords he was the most incredible singer I ever heard. Right up there with Elvis for originality and sound. He also wrote some great songs including a bunch of hits for da Monkees!.
What an awful racket
his voice was that bad at only 50
@Ian Salyer yes a self inflicted rupture that he ignored, and then ignored medical advice to protect his voice from further damage.
@Ian Salyer It wasn't the old Nilsson, but in my opinion, Knnillssonn is a great album. The songs are well written, and the production is superb.
He sounds better than mccartney sounds now
He had a ruptured vocal cord about 10 years before this.
@@jacobjinglehymer8789 mccartnery is 75!
Why was he wearing sunglasses?
Why did he want to hide his eyes?
Hopefully, he wasn't on drugs. Generally, that's the reason why well-known people wear sunglasses.

Harry was on cocaine and alcohol for a long time . @@ressurectionman
Sounds terrible 🤮
As someone who grew up listening to Nilsson from a very young age, this is very sad to listen to. Here, Harry sounds like your average drunken guy doing karaoke on a Wednesday night at the neighborhood tavern.
Sorry this is terrible
If this guy attempted weight watchers or Jenny Craig, he'd probably still be alive today
sad, he destroyed his own voice.
