I could listen to George Harrison talk all day about anything. He says things in a way that makes you want to pay attention to him. Miss him and his music. Taken too soon from us.
He was quiet only outside Beatle bubble...as The four knew each other since teens years...Harrison always complain a lot as The others would listen..plus his sense of humor was contagious...only that he hated press conference and all the insanity that came with Beatlemania.
George Harrison was one of the most genuine people in the music industry. He never let his involvement in the Beatles destroy his life. He was anti superstar group and created one of the greatest superstar groups
@@SST4SSG all things must pass as maybe 4 songs comparable to McCartneys songs. And NONE comparable to the masterpieces by McCartney during the Beatles, lets say, yesterday, michelle, penny lane, fool on the hill, martha my dear, blackbird, for no one, etc etc etc etc etc etc
@@leonardoiglesias2394 Look, I love and own the LPs of "Band on the Run" and "Ram." I dig rockers like "Junior's Farm" and a sweet pop song near the end of the 70s called "With a Little Luck". Something about that Harrison triple album though.. (maybe it didn't need the Apple Jam part though)
Good interview George had such a great wit. Everything he did Beatles, solo work and Traveling Wilburys was brilliant. Got to see Jeff Lynne’s ELO in Tampa a few years back and Dhani Harrison opened the show. RIP Roy, George and Tom it was a great ride.
Loved this interview! At first I thought that he wasn't enthusiastic, but he seemed to warm up to the occasion and the interviewer. Some great insights into the Wilburys. How amazing would it have been to get a live concert, even a tour!
Ive always admired the way george handles his interviews.....He answers the same questions over and over, but he still comes across as a guy that wants to connect with his fans.....i love him
I listened recently to George‘s All Things Must Pass and was reminded of the beauty of his music and his profound insight. What a listening experience!
George was sooo much smarter than the interviewers were ! He always stayed in his lane where every one else wanted to be even for a few minutes if HE ALLOWED IT ! Quiet NEVER meant Dumb as far a George was Concerned ! I hope he found what he gave his existence for !
George ...will always be living in my heart ...God bless him forever....this interview brought him back to me ....love him forever after ....thanks !!!
I appreciate the wisdom of George and very much love the music put together by the Traveling Wilburys. Creative genius and what fun. A unique gathering of talented artists.
Dude is so chill. He liked to mess with the press, and subvert the business norms slightly--can't do Volume 2, just jump to Volume 3. I can just imagine these guys all on a lark one day throwing a bunch of songs together eventually resulting in a hit album. The whole thing is amusing and also wonderful.
I remember buying both TW albums as a teenager...now I realize that I am older, today, than George was in this interview...also, this album came out only 20 years after "let it be", yet has been 34 years since "Vol. 3"...the passage of time is an interesting thing.
I akways loved George the most out of the Beatles. He was more introspective and gentle, compared to his more outgoing bandmates, and he wasn't sure how to deal with his newfound fame.
Sometimes the Stars align, Literally. I'm impressed they even wrote one song and it Hit. The other stuff is just gifts from their talent. Cool interview. I think the ones that are gone are missed more everyday. George was a class act, and had a dry wit that took many people a moment before they " got it '. I think he didn't break into some of the things and lines he was thinking about in this interview after millions of others since the early 60's. Anyone I've ever known that met him always had good things to say, and how cool he was, and he never propped up his fame.." I Me Mine" is a decent read. I wish he wrote another book after the 70's.Thank you for posting. Long Live George.
I've admired & learnt so much from George since I first saw 'Him' (Ha) in 1965 on a Beatles Cartoon. A truly genuine & honest person. GAZ (Melbourne/Australia)
You know, in the same room, all these legends all looking at each other. Wow, he's Roy Orbison, and Jesus there's Bob Dylan, Jeff Lynn & Tom Petty, but they're all looking at George & they are all thinking, " He was a Beatle. A fuckin' Beatle. That wins hands down in any room of musicians. Can you imagine going through life being one of the Beatles. The enormity of that is mind blowing, but George Harrison was guy who would talk to you like there was no difference between him & you. An absolute legend & a wonderful human being. I hope you got to meet your maker George & that you exist in a state of bliss somewhere & are reunited with John Lennon as you said you believed you would be when your time came.
What inanity can you write and think about. Other guys look at George and think "He's a fuckin' Beatle". Can you seriously believe Bob Dylan or Tom Petty had that reaction! You just get carried away with the idea of fame.
That the first album happened at all is close to miraculous, given how tied up they usually were. And that it turned out so good is proof that they were all on the same wavelength and really enjoyed each others company. I'm so glad it happened!
After careers spanning several decades, is it not amazing that five of the most brilliant and legendary musicians of all time ended up in the same band? I'd say it was certainly meant to be.
It's always amazed me... not only did I like the album more then CLOUD NINE, I liked EVERY song on it... and "Tweeter and the Monkey Man" became my FAVORITE Bob Dylan song ever!
The interviewer was pretty decent as well. He didn`t ask a lot of questions of the Beatles. George couldn`t stand being asked about the Beatles every time he talked to the press. He had very mixed feelings about the Beatles since he felt that John and Paul held him back by only allowing him two songs per albums.
I saw an interview with one of guys who was one of the teenage sound engineers who worked at abbey road studios during the 60s during their recording. Interestingly there was good food often delivered for the Beatles for dinner but it was for the band not the studio emplyees. The guy remembered very specifically that only george would sometimes pick up takeout food on the way to the studio so the young sound engineers wouldnt starve and could enjoy some good food. Awesome!
The closest I came to George was meeting Louise - his sister - twice - a lovely lady ❤ - I hugged her and said - This is the closest I will come to your brother - she smiled 😃 . . .
simpler times when true genius created masterpieces simply by getting together and having fun. Anonymity desired by the group, imagine that these days.
It’s so nice to see him and hear his accent again! I wish he was still alive. He was my favorite Beatle. He said “All things must pass”. Why did he have to remind me that everything is impermanent? I don’t like it but theres nothing anyone can do about it. You just have to accept it. Thanks George! See you again some day or way. Maybe. 😮 RIP
That first song ("Handle Me With Care") was/is GREAT!!! (The song taught me what the word "fob" means.) Yeah... and what a group of talented musicians, singers, and song writers all falling together by chance... kinda like The Beatles.
I cannot imagine that it is a positive experience to be constantly questioned. All the Beatles are constantly questioned. Somewhere there has to be an interview that is more of a conversation than somebody being questioned, which is something we do to criminals. I wonder if anyone managed to do that.
It was great to see him get his due as a songwriter after the Beatles broke up and John and Paul as well as George Martin couldn't hold him back anymore.
George was great! Out of all of The Beatles, after the split, he was by far the most interesting. The fact that he was mates with Jeff Lynne, The Big O (who The Beatles had toured with in the early 60s), Bob Dylan, Tom Petty says a lot. Also not forgetting his great friendship with the quite wonderful Joe Brown. Strikes me as a great friend to have.
I wonder where George got the idea to make an album under a fictitious band name? I think someone did that a while back. It was kind of popular. I think it was twenty years ago today. No, it was longer than that.
George was the best he was so honest great to listen to such a lovely personality very interesting he loved guitars and played beautiful lead guitar he had a beautiful sense of humour his accent was so loved by fans sweet George i love everyghing about him.thank you for your great songs
Yes, a good and talented man. One thing to remember is that he is not dead. As George often said, ""There was never a time when you didn’t exist and there’ll never be a time when you cease to exist.’ The only thing that changes is our bodily condition. The soul comes in the body, and we go from birth to death, and death how I look at it, is like taking your suit off".
Pretty good interviewer. I wonder though if he's deliberately inviting George's mockery (gentle though it may be) when he keeps asking about the album titles.
George was such an underrated song writer, even by John and Paul. He loved them none the less. George was peace, love, laughter, happiness and spirituality personified. RIP George. Jamming with John in the great gig in the sky. You were all, and still are FAB! Rest in Paradise George and John. You know. I can't believe that they chose, Lennon and McCartney that is. Songs like Bungalow Bill and Martha My Dear over George's Sour Milk Sea and Run of the Mill amongst others. In my opinion Sour Milk Sea blows them both out of the water, or, sour milk if you like :) No wonder our George got so frustrated. Bless him. He even gave The Beatles, Here Comes the Sun and Something. He could have saved them for his solo albums. After The Beatles, George had the deepest and most spiritual life which is reflected in his music and of course how he lived his personal life and carried himself. I loved John Lennon. Actually, he was always my favourite when I was a kid as I could relate, but he was always the angry rebel and Paul McCartney was too lovey Dovey, although he wrote master pieces after The Beatles like Band on the Run and was undeniably the driving force behind The Beatles. Lennon and McCartney. Great songwriters but George was on another level with his depth of spirituality and in my humble opinion as a songwriter he was on the same level as Lennon and McCartney. They knew it as well. Admittedly George had to work at his song craft but he was one man. What's that old saying? 'Two heads are better than one.' Unless you're Ravana (Google it 😊) It really upsets me to see people who are Beatles fans arguing online and putting the other Beatles down who are not their favourites. Paul, John, George and Ringo all loved each other at the beginning and at the end. We should respect them and do the same. Afterall... All You Need is Love... Right? Om Hari Om 🕉 Jaya Sri Krishna
Oh well then, George Harrison and Roy Orbison are just sort of sitting around talking, and George phones up Bob Dylan, and. . . These guys are GODS, and they don't seem to know it!
George played well with other people because they gave him what John and Paul didn’t: Respect. And the result was a rich and rewarding experience with great music. Paul was and still is a man-child megalomaniac, and John hung around with a bunch of drunks and junkies. Neither ever created an album with other people that was any good.
I could listen to George Harrison talk all day about anything. He says things in a way that makes you want to pay attention to him. Miss him and his music. Taken too soon from us.
Me too, sometimes I try to mimic his voice.Jokeing around.
Interesting how the “The quiet Beatle” was the most talkative outside of his inherited public persona. Rest in peace to George, Roy and Tom.
He was quiet only outside Beatle bubble...as The four knew each other since teens years...Harrison always complain a lot as The others would listen..plus his sense of humor was contagious...only that he hated press conference and all the insanity that came with Beatlemania.
OppoOyesd❤@@josephdemenezes1522
I would have loved to be able to meet George Harrison and just have a casual conversation. Seems like such a humble and interesting guy.
What a kind person he was, and his legacy will live on.
He was so "kind" that he cheated on both wives and slept with his friend Ringo's wife!!
George Harrison was one of the most genuine people in the music industry. He never let his involvement in the Beatles destroy his life. He was anti superstar group and created one of the greatest superstar groups
He was irresponsable. He was too young to realise he was destroying a miracle. Its like when you find the love of your love when you are 20 years old.
@@leonardoiglesias2394"All Things Must Pass" vindicated him. From a distant third Beatle to the spotlight and best solo album of all Beatles

Thank you George,or all the pleasure you have given me listening to your music
Nice to see an interview with George talking in depth about his current project and it not being hijacked by Beatle questions.
Good interview George had such a great wit. Everything he did Beatles, solo work and Traveling Wilburys was brilliant. Got to see Jeff Lynne’s ELO in Tampa a few years back and Dhani Harrison opened the show.
RIP Roy, George and Tom it was a great ride.
I'm currently listening 🎧...
George got better with age. Awesome interview. Great humor. I really like the talking George
Loved this interview! At first I thought that he wasn't enthusiastic, but he seemed to warm up to the occasion and the interviewer. Some great insights into the Wilburys. How amazing would it have been to get a live concert, even a tour!
What a happy confluence of musical genius. I love this story. Handle with Care is one of my favorite songs.
It goes to show how smart and gifted George is with a kindness that is rare. You can hear it in his words and songs
Ive always admired the way george handles his interviews.....He answers the same questions over and over, but he still comes across as a guy that wants to connect with his fans.....i love him

He was always so nice and modest. RIP George
Great Interview - 20 minutes with George and I bet the guy was dying to mention the beatles !!

I appreciate the wisdom of George and very much love the music put together by the Traveling Wilburys. Creative genius and what fun. A unique gathering of talented artists.
Just one of the four most famous guys on the planet, having a chat. 👌
George is a great human being.
Dude is so chill. He liked to mess with the press, and subvert the business norms slightly--can't do Volume 2, just jump to Volume 3. I can just imagine these guys all on a lark one day throwing a bunch of songs together eventually resulting in a hit album. The whole thing is amusing and also wonderful.

I akways loved George the most out of the Beatles. He was more introspective and gentle, compared to his more outgoing bandmates, and he wasn't sure how to deal with his newfound fame.
I idolized John and Paul as a teen, but I grew into George and now can honestly say he is/was my favorite. And he was in The Rutles film.😉

Really well done interview. It must have been so refreshing for him to not have any mention of that other band he was in.
“that other band he was in” 😅😂
A great line.
His presence and demeanor were so calming. A quiet musical giant. R.I.P.
Great Interview. Top Man.
Thank you for putting this up

Never seen this interview. really nice thanks!
George wrote ''Something'' and ''Here comes the sun'' which were right up there with the rest of the Beatles.
"While my guitar gently weeps" might also be considered for rightful inclusion on that list.
Frank Sinatra called "Something" the greatest love song ever written.
I think he was extraordinarily polite and patient with the interviewer.
The interviewer was pretty decent as well. He didn`t ask a lot of questions of the Beatles. George couldn`t stand being asked about the Beatles every time he talked to the press.

Typical Pisces George is. No big ego. ❤
Nice to see footage of the interview where he talks about Gary Moore. Just heard the interview as audio only version two days ago.
❤ Um grande encontro com o melhor que já existiu na música !
Nice to have friends like that
Great story George, one of my other favorites is end of the line

Hey George. Remember when you wrote that song "Something "? That was pretty cool.
It’s so nice to see him and hear his accent again! I wish he was still alive. He was my favorite Beatle.

Hard to believe he'd be dead in 12 years.
RIP George
He used to smoke a lot of cigarettes. Frank Zappa had already died by the time of that interview. George should have learned.
@manolokonosko594 Don't smoke cigarettes. Stick to weed.
George was so beautiful ❤
My favorite beatle
I watch this and imagine being able to talk to George and say, 'Hey, man. Get yourself checked out by a doctor!'
He was still more than healthy there. You should have spoken to him in 1964 and told him to quit tobacco.
❤
I`m sure George was very pleased that he for once didn´t have to talk about the Beatles.
The questions are a bit odd and Harrison is often perplexed - at the interviewer’s naïveté. But he’s polite not dismissive.
George was a sweet man great looking beautiful personality so humble so honest i loved everything about him his songs his lead guitar playing
Pretty good interviewer. I wonder though if he's deliberately inviting George's mockery (gentle though it may be) when he keeps asking about the album titles.

Wessel van Diepen, Countdown host from 1988 to 1992.
@@CountDownEU Thank you very much for replying! ))) Will the George's 'Countdown' interview with Simone Walraven ever be posted?
Poor George. You can see it in his eyes.

Interesting. They wrote songs sort of like the Brothers Gibb did.
