I go past the entrance to his house quite often, it’s only a few miles from my home. It always brings back nostalgic memories of when I saw the Beatles at the Cavern Club way back in 1962. George is my favourite Beatles!
That BS Case, Was BS, Wherein The Greedy Lawyers Just Wanted $ome Of His Beatles Hard Earned $$$, As Well As From His First Mega-Great First 1970 3-Album Set, All Things Must Pass Offering, Wherein The Amazing, And Wonderful Mega-Hit Song, My Sweet Lord, Doesn't Sound Enough Like The Shirelles 1960's Song, He's So Fine , For That BS Law$uit To Have Ever Been Brought Against Him . . .'-0
@@jamesevans3492 a song on George Harrison’s first solo masterpiece. “All Things Must Pass.” And wasn’t the sharelle’s it was the Chiffons who did “He’s so fine” which Was sued for with My Sweet Lord , As my first guitar teacher in the late 80s was a part of the case for a short period of time as he was asked by the prosecution to listen to it and see if it was plagiarized, my former guitar teacher “Tom McDowell” (who is a great guitarist in his own right) said there’s no pla$iarism just similar chord structure and because he said that, the prosecution dropped him from being an expert on the testimony. And My Sweet Lord is a way better song than he’s so fine. My sweet Lord is a very spiritual, soulful, hauntingly, beautiful song with a far better melody just a similar chord structure, and the Chiffon’s won that $uit, then every song can be called pla$$ia$ism it’s ridiculous.
George eventually ended up owning the rights to He's So Fine, the song he was sued for. Allen Klein swindled The Shirelles out of He's So Fine, probably just so he could be the one robbing George of his My Sweet Lord money. But when Klein started having money troubles, George bought He's So Fine from Klein for 5M. Klein also robbed The Verve of their Bittersweet Symphony money, because it sampled a Rolling Stones soundtrack that didn't even feature Rolling Stones members, but the copyrights applied. After Klein died, Mick and Keith worked it out so The Verve could finally make money from their biggest song.
George named the song after a comedians Palace who owned a palace nicknamed “crackerbox Palace” which was Lord Buckley A English comedian Who was born in 1906 to 1960. It was Lord Buckley’s palace which was in Los Angeles, California with George loved the name so much he went to visit the place. George lived at the most famous civilian home in England named Friar Park in Henley-on-Thames,England was purchased by George Harrison in January 1970 which was formerly owned by Sir Frank Crisp from 1889 to 1919 which George dedicated a song to Lord Crisp called “The Ballad of Sir Frankie Crisp (Let It Roll)" which is a awesome haunting song off his 1970 classic (best solo Beatles solo album) the triple album “All Things must Pass”.
George is my favorite Beatle he writes songs full of meaning and most are very catchy his stuff grows on you he has many great songs Cockamamie Business , Any Road , Stuck in a Cloud , Poor Little Girl , and many many more ..
This song and Blow Away always put me in a good mood. The line "know that the Lord is well and inside of you" makes my day every time I hear or sing it. Next try BLOW AWAY. ✌️❤️👍🎶🎶🎶
The "nanny" pushing the baby carriage at the beginning was played by Neil Innes. He was a member of the Bonzo Dog Doo Dah Band which actually appeared in the Beatles movie Magical Mystery Tour. Years later he was part of the "Rutles", a parody of the Beatles. They did a tv special called All You Need is Cash, in which they told the story of the Rutles. Innes played the John Lennon character who was named Ron Nasty, and Eric Idle played the McCartney character named Dirk McQuickly. Check out the Rutles song I Must Be in Love.
The video was filmed at Harrison's home, Friar Park....the scantily clad woman you see in the woods was Harrison's first wife, Patti Boyd.....the brief shot of the two women in the bedroom, the woman on the left was his new wife, Olivia....the children you see in the video are the children of Derek Taylor, the Beatles press officer.
George is well-known for pulling pranks and being very funny. In the mid-90s, Paul McCartney released a symphonic piece called "Standing Stone." Shortly after, Ringo was visiting George's estate, and there was a big boulder that George had removed from his garden and placed near the entrance to the estate. When he and Ringo passed by it, George told Ringo that Paul had sent it to him to commemorate his new song, and Ringo went around for the next few weeks thinking that Paul just left him out.
According to Wikipedia, it was Eric Idle of Monty Python who directed this short video. He even appears briefly here; along with his fellow Rutle Neil Innes in drag as the nanny pushing the baby carriage. Also in the video dressed in costume were Eric Clapton, George’s ex-wife Patty Boyd (who was also in the movie A Hard Day’s Night), and Olivia Arias, who would eventually marry George.
Great info Had to look this up to make sure I got this right This George's estate at Friar Park, Henley-on-Thames "A Victorian neo-Gothic mansion that Harrison purchased in 1970 The estate includes caves, grottoes, underground passages, and an Alpine rock garden The estate is still owned by Harrison's widow, Olivia Harrison"
I think Crackerbox Palace in the song is referring to the world. George got the term from Mr. Grief, his manager. George Grief also managed a comedian called Lord Buckley. Lord Buckley's house was named Crackerbox Palace. George was from a fairly modest family. The mansion in the video was bought with George's Beatle money. It was Friar Park, built in the late 19th century, but George called in Crackerbox Palace as well.
Should do Blow Away next. The image of George Harrison in the carriage in this video for some reason always makes me think of Petey Wheatstraw, who was born already like seven years old.
George Harrison performed a benefit concert back in the summer of 1971 'The Concert for Bangladesh' at Madison Square Garden in N.Y.C. which was smokin' hot that included many of George's friends who were well known recording artists at that time performing with George such as Leon Russell, Eric Clapton, the band Bad Finger, Bob Dylan, Ringo Starr, Billy Preston, Jim Keltner just to name a few out of a slew of others. "Beware of Darkness" by George and Leon would be worth checking out as an introduction to the many songs that were performed at this event. 💫🎩🎤🎸🎹🎹🪘🥁🔊⚡🔥☮.
I remember reading back in the day how he was, "terribly proud" on this occasion when he wrote this song for his newborn son. I got this single from my dad's jukebox in the 70's from his pizza joint in Philly and I instantly took to it!!! 4:55 😝🤭😆
A great song by George Harrison you should check out the film time bandit. As it features play George Harrison song and it was made by the Monty python team.
And Jay the song you said “who plays the Clark Griswold the goofy dad ” you were thinking of is Chevy Chase on the movie vacation. And Chevy is in the video by Paul Simon. With the song You can call me Al, as with the wig “Paul Simon wore in the early 80s makes him look like a little version of Chevy Chase..”And the strange thing about you saying that is Paul Simon n George who were very good friends did “hear comes the sun” and Homeward Bound together in November of 1976 (near the opening of the second season of the show) which Chevy Chase was still on the Show when Paul Simon was the guest host n George Harrison was was the guest musical performer. I remember sitting up with my sister and babysitter while watching them perform on SNL as a little kid.
I love that he references Monty Python AND Mel Brooks. The police helmet with the cross on top is The Church Police from Python. And at one point he says, "It's true, it's true..." which in Blazing Saddles is said by Madeline Kahn in reference to the sheriff's, ahem, attributes.
George Harrison was good friends with the British comedy troupe Monty Python's Flying Circus. Their comedy was sarcastic and madcap, Thanks for choosing this song.
From Wikipedia::: The song was inspired by Harrison's serendipitous meeting with George Greif.[1] At the 1975 Midem Music Festival, Harrison remarked to Greif that he resembled the late comedian Lord Buckley, whom Harrison had admired for many years.[1] Greif, who had been Buckley's manager, invited Harrison to Buckley's old Los Angeles home, "Crackerbox Palace".[1] Thinking that the phrase had the makings of a song, Harrison jotted the words "Crackerbox Palace" down on a cigarette pack, and later wrote the song.[1] The song includes references to Greif ("I met a Mr. Greif") and to Lord Buckley ("know that the Lord is well and inside of you").[1] ("Lord" could be a double entendre referring as well to either the Lord God or Lord Krishna.)
Watch the original TV showing of this video & "This Song" video. I believe these were the first Modern Music Videos ever produced with acting & a story involved & not just a band playing their song. These are definitely full length, full productions. These were on SNL Nov. 20th 1976 which Paul Simon hosted & they played "Here Comes the Sun" and "Homeward Bound" together onstage. I always felt there was a bit of "One Upsmanship" going on between the two of them.
According to Wikipedia the video was filmed at George's home - Friar Park - nicknamed Crackerbox Palace after Lord Buckley's home (an American comedian)
No Georges home was owned by Sir Frank Crisp from 1889 until his death in 1919. .and his home is well known to be named Friar Park/as it is the most famous private estate in England. The video is at Lord Buckley’s esptate. Either you read it wrong or as usual Wikipedia got it wrong and George did do a lot of videos at his home in Friar Park. As George even did a song on the former 19th and early 20th century owner of his palace on Sll things must pass in hauntingly, beautiful song Ballad of Sir Frankie Crisp (Let It Roll) cmon man.
An intruder tried to kill George in that house. George ended up killing the intruder in self-defense. But George did get stabbed a lot. He nearly died. He recovered, but cancer got him, eventually. Your actual first reactions to George were Something and Here Comes The Sun, from the Let It Be album. But you didn't know who George was, and couldn't figure out if it was Paul or John. That irked me, but whatever, it's sorted now. All the whoopty about John and Paul doesn't change the fact that Something and Here Comes The Sun were and still are the top selling and top streaming Beatles songs ever. And that's saying a lot. It's one doozy of a stat to be able to pin on a shirt. Clark Griswold was in a Paul Simon video.
No the intruder, Michael Abram a paranoid schizophrenic, was released from an asylum in 2002. Mrs. Harrison incapacitated MA after he had near fatally stabbed George by repeatedly hitting him with a poker and lamp.
Many Beatles fans probably know the story of The Beatles first meeting with their producer, George Martin, when he was deciding on signing them to his label. Martin talked to them about recording and what it would take for them to succeed. He then said he'd gone on for awhile and asked if they had any comments. George Harrison said, well, I don't like your tie. Martin got a good laugh...the ice was broken. Harrison was great friends with the Monty Python group, even helped bankroll some of their movies. I've heard that Eric Clapton appears incognito somewhere in this video but I'm not sure where.
Hi Jay. What does "He's So Fine" by the Chiffons have to do with George's "My Sweet Lord"? AND what do those two songs have to do with George's "This Song"? A 3-song reaction with these songs may be fun and interesting. Just a thought.
This comes from one of George's best albums, "33 1/3" which has a double meaning as 33 1/3 rpm was the standard for LPs and was also how old he was at the time he made the album. Other good songs on this album are "This Song", "Woman Don't You Cry For Me", and "Pure Smokey".
Rob, check out George Harrison’s song “Dream Away” from a fantastic Monty Python inspired movie George Executive Produced called “Time Bandits” The song is wonderful and the film is awesome! Enjoy!
Check out (also from this album) "THIS SONG" which was George's answer to a lawsuit about his supposedly plagiarizing another song with a Similar chord progression.
All of the Beatles had a great sense of humor. For some more songs from George check out Beware Of Darkness, Isn't It A Pity and the title track from the amazing All Things Must Pass album. Also Bangla Desh and the Jumpin' Jack Flash/Young Blood medley from The Concert For Bangla Desh.
George had a different sense of humor than Ringo, but he was definitely in touch with his funny bone. For more fun George, try "This Song" or "Ding Dong"…but don't forget his serious side. "All Things Must Pass" is an all-timer.
You need to do the song all those years ago by George he wrote it for john Lennon after he was killed as a tribute. Also the song blow away by George is a great one
Blow Away by George Harrison, that's the one you need to hear next!
I go past the entrance to his house quite often, it’s only a few miles from my home. It always brings back nostalgic memories of when I saw the Beatles at the Cavern Club way back in 1962. George is my favourite Beatles!
George was sued for plagiarism over My Sweet Lord, he wrote a song that really shows his humorous side called This Song, definitely worth a look

This song combines George's spirituality with his silly sense of humor.
And I agree that you need to react to "Blow Away."
Jay, this was filmed at his home Friar Park. A lot of this video references parts of the home and gardens. Love the song. Hope you are doing well
Crackerbox palace is what George Harrison called his Home
George is my favorite Beatle he writes songs full of meaning and most are very catchy his stuff grows on you he has many great songs Cockamamie Business , Any Road , Stuck in a Cloud , Poor Little Girl , and many many more ..
Oh yes! Me too❤
Crackerbox Palace was actually a metaphor for planet earth.
This song and Blow Away always put me in a good mood. The line "know that the Lord is well and inside of you" makes my day every time I hear or sing it. Next try BLOW AWAY.
✌️❤️👍🎶🎶🎶
I absolutely love this song
Crackerbox Palace is actually a slang word for "Nuthouse".
The "nanny" pushing the baby carriage at the beginning was played by Neil Innes. He was a member of the Bonzo Dog Doo Dah Band which actually appeared in the Beatles movie Magical Mystery Tour.

The G. Harrison songs you have already done are both from his Multi-Album Set 'All Things Must Pass'. Lots more to Love from that Album Set! :)
Georges wife , Olivia...makes an appearance!...also this video was directed by Eric Idle!
And wasn’t that Neil Innes (from The Rutles) pushing the baby carriage in the beginning? And I think some other cameos?
@@RabbiSteve1 Yup! Wearing his Ron Nasty glasses too!
I believe that she was one of the two women that appears in his bedroom.
Cracker Box Palace came out when I was in college. Loved this fun song and named my dorm room after it.

"It's what you value" iws another cool song from this album.
George Harrison was good friends with the British comedy troupe Monty Python's Flying Circus. Their comedy was sarcastic and madcap, Thanks for choosing this song.
He put up his estate as collateral to help them make Life of Brian.
"its twue, it's twue!"
Concert for George would be a great one to watch for you guys ❤
Love this reaction!
I love this song!!!!

The bigger hit from the same album, entitled simply "This Song," has an even more hilarious video.
Thank you!!!😊
George could play the slide guitar better than anyone.
George is funny! 😅. He jad a song called Dark Horse where he actually sang with a hoarse voice!😅.
The great rock band together, and they all produced some excellent music post breakup. No other major band can make that claim.
“Isn’t it a Pity”
Isn”t it a shame-I know you want the song is it a pity just adding the second lyric to isn’t it a pitty
His song Blow Away is also a great tune!
George had the funniest videos
RINGO:
“Yellow Submarine “!!👍
Yes!
George had a sense of humour as well. He produced two Monty python movies
Completely forgot about this song. Fun to hear it again!

Blow Away I second that song.
Blow Away is my favorite George song, but another fun video is This Song. Yes the title is This Song.
Between The Devil and the Deep Blue Sea, This Song and Any Road are three wonderful George videos you should see and hear.
I loved his work during this period!
That about had me rolling out of my chair, it reminded me of some of the stuff that the British comedian Benny Hill had on his show years ago. LOL
I love Blow Away. Please please do that one. It's one of my favorite Harrison penned songs.
Chevy Chase? He was also in a Paul Simon music video
Just a goofy song about, well..Crackerbox Palace. But, a catchy tune just for fun. We did that back then!

Keep in mind, he was friends with the guys from Monty Python. So, I think you would have to have a good sense of humor.
Directed by Eric Idle of Monty Python.
You are awesome 👌
It wasn’t a big hit, but Blow Away has been a favorite of mine by George for many years.
I actually like this song
So 70's ❤🎉
Don't forget his gems with Traveling willlburys
If you like funny videos, I suggest Ringo Starr and Buck Owens "Act Naturally " it's hilarious you'll love it 😂😊
great house he lived in
Thanks Jay. Great tune, this. George and Monty Python got on well. .
George was a big Monty Python fan and he financed the making of their Life of Brian You should also check out The Pirate Song

Learning How to Love You, on the same album, is definitely one of his best ballads.

Check out (also from this album) "THIS SONG" which was George's answer to a lawsuit about his supposedly plagiarizing another song with a Similar chord progression.
Looks like George used Monty Pythons Pantomime Princess Margaret in this video.
All of the Beatles had a great sense of humor. For some more songs from George check out Beware Of Darkness, Isn't It A Pity and the title track from the amazing All Things Must Pass album. Also Bangla Desh and the Jumpin' Jack Flash/Young Blood medley from The Concert For Bangla Desh.
Day 17 of requesting Labi Siffre - "I Got The ... ". It'll be fun to see your reaction. You won't be disappointed!
"He looks like Angus Young...." lol. That getup is (was) a typical school uniform for boys in the UK and their derivatives.
The video with Grizwald (Chevy Chase) was Paul Simon not George.
George had a different sense of humor than Ringo, but he was definitely in touch with his funny bone.
For more fun George, try "This Song" or "Ding Dong"…but don't forget his serious side. "All Things Must Pass" is an all-timer.
There it is that The Beatles comedy/carnival aspect in their music that few...very few rock bands or artists do, especially now. Love it!
Hey, Jay! Great reaction! If you want to revisit the Beatles, check out "Yesterday" (1966) and "Let It Be" (1970). Keep smiling!
My favorite beetle !!!!
Please listen to "rush" live, song is "spirit of radio" these guys are musical engineers, went to college for this. Youre in for a treat
You need to do the song all those years ago by George he wrote it for john Lennon after he was killed as a tribute. Also the song blow away by George is a great one
Check out George’s song, Be Here Now.
