A lot of the tour was officially recorded, as George planned to release a movie at the end of it….. but the press criticism of the tour put George off that idea. Apparently when he died and left control of the archives to Dhani, his one instruction was that nothing was off limits, except the North American tour, which was to never see the light of day. Bits of it made it into the Scorsese film, but in terms of an official full release, we will probably get nothing. Re: Japan tour, Dhani posted on Facebook years ago he has been right through for a full length concert, but all has found is 2 or 3 songs simply filmed for the Japanese media to use for promotion from the first gig.
EXCELLENT POINTS: I began my career as a professional guitarist-bassist in the 1970s as a last-wave boomer. I had come back from living abroad and saw Harrison at the Oakland Coliseum, and my brother --a now noted Be-bop, classical, and "shred" session guitarist and orchestral arranger--and I recognized immediately that George Harrison and his revue were pioneering second-wave World Music/Fusion of the sort that the great Jeff Beck was just about to unleash (Blow by Blow, Wired; his sessions with Stanley Clarke, et al.). George and blues-fusion guitarist Robben Ford did a brilliant call-and-response set of solos on the likes of While My Guitar Gently Weeps, and, of course, George and the band cracked it on Billy's hits as well as, if memory serves, at least two or three LA Express fusion jams (including a largely improvised groove for which George and the band had not even a title). And Harrison's bottleneck slide playing was off-the-charts brilliant. You've got it EXACTLY right. Harrison's Dark "Hoarse" tour was prescient and WAY ahead of the game. But then, he was one of the handful of founding lights of World Music in the first place (Norwegian Wood, Love You Too, Within You and Without You, Savoy Truffle, Inner Light, et al.).
To me this is George's best work as he was pushing the envelope. I like his collaborative work with Tom Scott, Robben Ford and the LA Express. The Dark Horse was favorite album of his.
Very very happy to have been given the opportunity to colour this entire film for you, and especially for Ron. THANK YOU Ron for shooting these amazing films and for giving our small team the chance to have them properly digitized, to be remembered forever by thousands.
I've been a George Lover since I first saw a photo of him in a magazine my pen pal sent me in 1963. Met him and the others 9/3/1964. I have spent hours, days, years, decades, searching for and listening to George and so many bootlegs. This video is just beyond stellar. I can't tell you what this means to this George Girl. I love this. THANK YOU so very much. ❤❤❤
❤❤❤ So glad my little film landed so well with you. Hats off to Adam. If it wasn't for him the film would still be sitting in a box not going anywhere, not doing anything, and still MOS aka without sound.
Thank you for the upload, any Beatles fanatic has to be blown away by the brilliance of the result. Getting footage of George's 1974 tour (even if not remastered) is a joy. Your work is appreciated by fans all over the globe. RUclips needs more content creators named AdamBound.
I went to this show for my 17th birthday Nov 29th I remember George was sick and he didn't get good reviews for this performance. 27yrs later he died on my birthday
His sad and unfortunate death will NOT change my opinion of this concert, which I too attended. It was one of the worst concerts I ever heard. His singing voice was atrocious. Ravi's band was an absolute bore.
@@jeffphakenewz8556 @jeffphakenewz8556 aggreed! me and my best friend were huge Beatles fans. We bought his new Dark Horse album and knew what songs to expect but of course were still hoping to hear some of his Beatles songs. If I remember he did guitar weeps and something but I'm not sure. Still seeing George was going to be the chance of a lifetime. Honestly it was really sad and hard to watch. Like you said his voice was terrible. Ravi was too loud and played too long. We almost left early so disappointed. We remain Beatles fans and wrote this concert off as just another moment in time that sadly was nothing special.
This is the greatest testament to a great band, on fire (in every sense of the word) having A BLAST. They sound great ( very well rehearsed) and Ravi , and George are splendid....Forget about any of the "snarky" reviews at the time....this Dark Horse is kicking total ass.... 5 stars...tks for sharing, mate....this is the REAL story.
Many thanks to everyone who had a hand in getting the film digitized and syncing the very good sound to it as I have only known this as silent film for 50 years. - Ron Gerber
Every time I see new footage surface from this tour, I think I really should revisit the concert film that I made about 15 years ago. There's so much more to work with now and the show that I was using the audio from (Fort Worth, Texas) is a full show with great sound so I might get around to doing a new, extended and improved version eventually.
Let me join the band and say "Thank You a zillion times for sharing. Often rare material gets stored away for the few. Your kindness is appreciated so the masses can experience genius.
I was at that same concert in Oakland in '74! Do you remember how George invited fans to come down nearer the stage? So I was crowded up there standing only about 30 feet away near the end of the concert.
I was too young to get caught up in Beatlemania, not even four when they appeared on Ed Sullivan but I enjoy much of their music, including George's great songs. What's so cool about this clip, is when he gets a chance to rock, he rocks. He clearly moved explored other musical outlets, but damn, he had a rock and roll soul also
This is amazing, particularly the segments featuring the Indian musicians, and makes me wish even more that the Harrison estate would release a live album or documentary from this tour. Thank you for uploading this.
Me neither. His precision with slide came through even when there was no sound to this film. 50 years after the fact I am knocked out to see my movie with sound thanks to Adam and his crew.
I love this!! So full of happiness throughout and Harrison at his greatest. Lots of rich talent and musical diversity. Plus, I loved the Omni and Atlanta in the 70s. 😻
This is so incredibly, beautifully done, and I hope, puts to rest all the negativity about the '74 tour. I was lucky enough to go to 6 shows, and George was amazing! Thank you so much for this!
This is fabulous! So glad that I was fortunate enough to see George on this tour...one of the best nights of my life. RIP, George....you are missed more than you could ever know.
❤ And thank you for your comment! I shot the film. I was seeing a Beatle in concert for the 1st time, that was huge for my 20 year old self. I was compelled to shoot some film.
great footage! i was there!!! best concert in my life! 'dark horse' was a superb album completely maligned by rolling stone and the critics! the great willie weeks on bass! i remember folks gettin' really annoyed when george sang john's "In my life"... i thought it was great!
great footage! What a great slide player George was…I saw this tour in Philly; in the true, rebellious Rock & Roll spirit, my buddy & I hid in the bathroom after the first show then snuck into the second! I can say I have seen all 4 Beatles in the flesh; I met John at WFIL Philly radio station in ‘75; he signed a Live In Japan Beatles bootleg; I’ve seen Paul & Ringo in concert…thanx for this great post…now we have to get Olivia & Dhani to officially release all the pro shot film of the ‘74 tour
OMG Thank you so much. I saw the tour in Philadelphia and MSG in NYC. I have a few audience tapes and two mixing board audio cuts. This IS the best video from the tour I have ever seen. Thanks for including some of the Indian section which I love as much as the rock and roll.
Wish there was a bootleg or official release of the audio of THIS concert as it seems to be one where George’s voice is in better shape than most of this tour.
Wow this is a great find. Nice work. Just as Peter Jackson re-wrote the narrative about the Get Back period about the Beatles, this is similar seeing George so happy and engaged on that stage of this tour. Everything I've read over the years made it all sound so miserable.
@@cb2354 More than a story, I’m sure. But he was also what, 31 years old? So there’s some actual youth at play and he genuinely seemed to be enjoying himself.
He was the fastest out of the gate after The Beatles breakup, and was out to say "I told you so" to John and Paul. You can tell he's pushing it with everything he's got. Material World didn't do as well as All Things Must Pass, but he was still riding that wave. And this was over a year before Wings came to town. Funny, I saw him in '91 with Eric Clapton and he was just going through the motions. The '74 tour was George's peak.
He was hi as a kite on cocaine on that tour unfortunately, lost his voice too, Klaus V was trying to get him to stop…also met his future wife on that tour
Absolutely beautiful footage, unlike any I've ever seen before from this tour! Thank you to everyone involved in the filming and restoration process for this absolute gift. I adore seeing how bouncy George and Billy were throughout this tour, so it's wonderful being able to see it in such good quality!!!
Thanks for the kind words. The film was shot with a Nikon Superzoom 8. Great glass but decidedly small viewfinder that was difficult to see under concert lighting which accounts for some shots being out of focus. Would not have had focusing issues with a Braun Nizo.
@@ronthesledge That's fascinating! I can't blame you - people who capture concerts deserve all the praise, as I imagine the lighting and amount movement (both on stage and in the audience) must make it a tricky deal. Nonetheless, you did an excellent job with this. It must have been incredibly electrifying to have been there in person!
Nice to see this. I was there and his voice was ragged, 'horse'. Reality is, George rarely sang lead with Beatles. But the guitar and band sounds great! `
I’ve heard bootlegs from this tour, and while George’s voice is obviously not great at the time, the band is and the setlist is really interesting. He's probably having the most fun you’ll ever see him have on stage. Billy Preston really helps the show out with his energy.
Wow! this was awesome! I can't remember seeing George playing sooo much lead guitar (and yes slide) and doing so very very confidently. Unfortunately, his voice was completely shot. Would have been fun show to see (especially Bill Preston) !
Hi Alan, it's not like I had a film crew with a multi camera shoot. Just me with one super 8mm camera with a 50 ft/3+ minute capacity, standard for super 8. Although it was Nikon, like most super 8 cameras, it also did not record sound. For 50 years I've only known this footage as a silent movie. I had 3 film cartridges with me. Being a concert most songs were likely going to be over 3 mins each so to shoot even one song in its entirety was an impossibility. It wasn't like digital where once you have a camera and media you can shoot almost limitless video. Film & processing was costly. Every 3 minutes cost about 8 to 10 bucks which, in those days, was expensive. Wish I could have shot more.
@@ronthesledgeI really appreciate that you filmed this and shared in superb quality. Dhani should've done the same and release the whole 74 tour on film. Thanks
I spent $9.50 for a ticket here in Chicago when George came to Chi-town! I believe I still have the ticket stub somewhere too! This is so cool to see and hear after all these years! Even though his voice was gone during the tour he still managed to put on a great show. Thanks for sharing and RIP GH!
I went to two shows he did for one night in the Washington DC area. Something that always stuck with me , though I can't remember what song he was singing. He hit a high note and his voice cracked but he immediately covered it up with a guitar lick and never missed a beat. I'll never forget how professional he was .
Billy Preston was such a force back then. He toured with the Stones, and they always stopped the concert in the middle to back him up on 3 or 4 of his songs. And then resumed with the Stones show. I didn't know George did the same. Billy saved the "Get Back" project, and a few years late was supported by Keith Richards and company and George Harrison on his own songs. Legend.
Beautifully done, and what an incredible sampling of the tunes performed. Just fabulous. Thank you so much for taking the time and putting such enormous care into preserving this incredible memory!
WOW…… this is GREAT! If footage like this is out there, imagine what else is! This was also the very same night in NYC, that John made his historic unannounced, but rumored, on-stage performance, with Elton at MSG.
Kind of strange seeing George visibly having that much fun on stage. All the Beatles footage shows him as looking either bored or very professional and reserved on stage.
George Harrison’s personal jukebox: Harrison treasured his home jukebox, a "KB Discomat" just like Lennon’s, telling the Record Mirror in 1965: “It’s so much easier to have all my favourite records on the jukebox at once. It saves me going through piles of records to find the ones I want. Then, when I get sick of them, I just throw them out and put some new ones in.” Steady rotations included soul and rhythm and blues, the likes of Otis Redding, The Four Tops, and Jackie Wilson. The Lovin’ Spoonful and The Beach Boys soundtracked Harrison’s more rock-filled afternoons, with Bob Dylan providing the more introspective moments. It’s a fantastic snapshot of Harrison’s trove, particularly knowing he must have been relieved to be listening to them at home in brief moments of tranquillity. You can check out Harrison’s full jukebox line-up below. George Harrison’s personal jukebox : Bob and Earl - ‘Harlem Shuffle Chuck Jackson - ‘Good Things Come to Those Who Wait’ Booker T. and the M.G.’s - ‘Be My Lady’ Bob Dylan - ‘Can You Please Crawl Out Your Window’ Little Jerry Williams - ‘Baby, You’re My Everything’ Edwin Starr - ‘Back Street’ Lee Dorsey -‘Work, Work, Work’ The Beach Boys - ‘The Little Girl I Once Knew’ The Miracles - ‘My Girl Has Gone’ Little Richard - ‘I Don’t Know What You’ve Got (But It’s Got Me)’ Otis Redding - ‘I Can’t Turn You Loose’ Otis Redding - ‘My Girl’ Jackie Wilson - ‘I Believe I’ll Love On’ Booker T. and The M.G.’s - ‘Plum Nellie’ Willie Mitchell - ‘Everything Is Gonna Be Alright’ Joe Tex - ‘A Sweet Woman Like You’ The Four Tops - ‘Something About You’ James Brown - ‘I Got You’ Marvin Gaye - ‘Ain’t That Peculiar’ The Byrds - ‘Turn, Turn, Turn’ Don Covay - ‘See Saw’ Sounds Incorporated - ‘I’m Comin’ Through’ Wilson Pickett - ‘Don’t Fight It’ Booker T. and the M.G.’s - ‘Bootleg’ The Young Rascals - ‘I Ain’t Gonna Eat My Heart Out Any More’ Otis Redding - ‘Respect’ James Brown - ‘Try Me’ Otis Redding - ‘I’ve Been Loving You Too Long’ Patti LaBelle and the Bluebelles - ‘All or Nothing’ Marvin Gaye - ‘Pretty Little Baby’ Fred Hughes - ‘Oo Wee Baby, I Love You’ The Miracles - ‘The Tracks of My Tears’ Joe Tex - ‘Yum Yum’ Edwin Starr - ‘Agent Double-O-Soul’ Barrett Strong - ‘Money’ Ritchie Barrett - ‘Some Other Guy’ Chuck Berry - ‘It Wasn’t Me’ Charlie Rich - ‘Mohair Sam’ The Beach Boys - ‘Let Him Run Wild’ The Lovin’ Spoonful - ‘Do You Believe in Magic’
Wow, thanks for this. For such a Carl Perkins-influenced guitar player and devoted fan of Ravi Shankar, George sure liked his R&B and soul. In the Get Back movie, he raves about a Ray Charles concert he had seen, and then brought in Billy Preston (who started off playing with Ray Charles).
I WAS THERE!!!!!!! My first concert! I was 15! And I had a date named Sheryl! We had floor seats!!!! My Dad dropped us off at the Omni. It was a different world back then!!!!!!!
They are 3-4 pics from my family's old Kodak. It looks like I'm a mile from the stage. You can not make out anyone, but the artwork above the stage is clearly discernable.
What a great film! Very thrilled and hope estate releases official blu-ray for 50th anniversary of tour. I attended Detroit afternoon concert and it was such a great experience! Btw this video inspired me to spin the Dark Horse album and except for a few rough moments vocally it has stood the test of time. Really still like the album a lot! It should rank mid-tier, not bottom, in his catalog!
What a show! He was making music at an extremely high level on this tour.
❤
I have spent a lifetime wondering how it was possible that George’s only tour was not filmed…so here it is after 50 years….amazing
So thankful I got to see him back then. He played two shows for the only night he was in town and I went to both !
Don't forget his tour of Japan with Clapton in 1991.
It was filmed by the band, it just hasn't been officially released because the estate are hoarders. This is an 8mm film from an attendee.
A lot of the tour was officially recorded, as George planned to release a movie at the end of it….. but the press criticism of the tour put George off that idea.
Apparently when he died and left control of the archives to Dhani, his one instruction was that nothing was off limits, except the North American tour, which was to never see the light of day.

@@ThePFRGthank you for saying that. I’m am NOT a fan of Olivia…
Man George is playing funk, jazz, Caribbean Indian music and of course R&R what a talented guitarist he is.
EXCELLENT POINTS: I began my career as a professional guitarist-bassist in the 1970s as a last-wave boomer. I had come back from living abroad and saw Harrison at the Oakland Coliseum, and my brother --a now noted Be-bop, classical, and "shred" session guitarist and orchestral arranger--and I recognized immediately that George Harrison and his revue were pioneering second-wave World Music/Fusion of the sort that the great Jeff Beck was just about to unleash (Blow by Blow, Wired; his sessions with Stanley Clarke, et al.). George and blues-fusion guitarist Robben Ford did a brilliant call-and-response set of solos on the likes of While My Guitar Gently Weeps, and, of course, George and the band cracked it on Billy's hits as well as, if memory serves, at least two or three LA Express fusion jams (including a largely improvised groove for which George and the band had not even a title).
And Harrison's bottleneck slide playing was off-the-charts brilliant. You've got it EXACTLY right. Harrison's Dark "Hoarse" tour was prescient and WAY ahead of the game. But then, he was one of the handful of founding lights of World Music in the first place (Norwegian Wood, Love You Too, Within You and Without You, Savoy Truffle, Inner Light, et al.).

Finally, a film from the 74 Dark Horse Tour with listenable audio!

Wish there was a bootleg or official release of the audio of THIS concert as it seems to be one where George’s voice is in better shape than most of this tour.
He had a lot of fun for sure during this concert.

VERY KOOL Bluesy Slide Stuff Around the 6:50-On Mark!!🎸🕶

Although it was Nikon, like most super 8 cameras, it also did not record sound. For 50 years I've only known this footage as a silent movie. I had 3 film cartridges with me. Being a concert most songs were likely going to be over 3 mins each so to shoot even one song in its entirety was an impossibility. It wasn't like digital where once you have a camera and media you can shoot almost limitless video. Film & processing was costly. Every 3 minutes cost about 8 to 10 bucks which, in those days, was expensive. Wish I could have shot more.
@@ronthesledge Grateful for what you shot! Thank you!
@@ronthesledgeI really appreciate that you filmed this and shared in superb quality. Dhani should've done the same and release the whole 74 tour on film. Thanks
NO WAY!!!!! >> AWESOME NEW FOOTAGE
The great Robben Ford on second guitar.
I spent $9.50 for a ticket here in Chicago when George came to Chi-town! I believe I still have the ticket stub somewhere too! This is so cool to see and hear after all these years! Even though his voice was gone during the tour he still managed to put on a great show. Thanks for sharing and RIP GH!

I went to two shows he did for one night in the Washington DC area. Something that always stuck with me , though I can't remember what song he was singing. He hit a high note and his voice cracked but he immediately covered it up with a guitar lick and never missed a beat. I'll never forget how professional he was .
Billy Preston was such a force back then. He toured with the Stones, and they always stopped the concert in the middle to back him up on 3 or 4 of his songs. And then resumed with the Stones show. I didn't know George did the same. Billy saved the "Get Back" project, and a few years late was supported by Keith Richards and company and George Harrison on his own songs. Legend.
Beautifully done, and what an incredible sampling of the tunes performed. Just fabulous. Thank you so much for taking the time and putting such enormous care into preserving this incredible memory!
That George. What a front man.
Thank You. I saw 2 of these shows and adore Hari’s On Tour!
WOW…… this is GREAT! If footage like this is out there, imagine what else is!
This was also the very same night in NYC, that John made his historic unannounced, but rumored, on-stage performance, with Elton at MSG.
@@jwl2469 yeah, I was living in Bklyn and a few school mates were at that show. That Monday @ school was a bit of a a bummer.
Kind of strange seeing George visibly having that much fun on stage. All the Beatles footage shows him as looking either bored or very professional and reserved on stage.
Like a little boy jumping for joy! ❤ Still love him so!

Great edition. Thank you 👍
Very nice footage!!
Thank you for uploading this! Love love loved it.
This is gold, pure gold, my friend. Thank you so much
Seeing George’s guitars in live action 😃
Amazing..the omni..billy Preston..also great slide work
His precision on slide is what got me. Had no idea.
Thanks for posting! Great musicansahip - and George's singing is OK (they always told that his voice was totally lost during this tour).
Wow! He puts on a good show.
Saw this tour at Madison Sq Garden, NYC - Remember it well - Tom Scott & LA Express opened; Billy was partying like crazy at end, etc etc...
Thank you for this. A pleasure to George
George Harrison’s personal jukebox:
Harrison treasured his home jukebox, a "KB Discomat" just like Lennon’s, telling the Record Mirror in 1965: “It’s so much easier to have all my favourite records on the jukebox at once. It saves me going through piles of records to find the ones I want. Then, when I get sick of them, I just throw them out and put some new ones in.”
Steady rotations included soul and rhythm and blues, the likes of Otis Redding, The Four Tops, and Jackie Wilson. The Lovin’ Spoonful and The Beach Boys soundtracked Harrison’s more rock-filled afternoons, with Bob Dylan providing the more introspective moments. It’s a fantastic snapshot of Harrison’s trove, particularly knowing he must have been relieved to be listening to them at home in brief moments of tranquillity.
You can check out Harrison’s full jukebox line-up below.

Wow, thanks for this. For such a Carl Perkins-influenced guitar player and devoted fan of Ravi Shankar, George sure liked his R&B and soul. In the Get Back movie, he raves about a Ray Charles concert he had seen, and then brought in Billy Preston (who started off playing with Ray Charles).
@@aquamarine99911 ... Check out for the John Lennon Juke box here, if not censured.
I WAS THERE!!!!!!! My first concert! I was 15! And I had a date named Sheryl! We had floor seats!!!! My Dad dropped us off at the Omni. It was a different world back then!!!!!!!
THANK YOU for posting this!!!!! I have the ticket stub and have a few blurry and out-of-focus pictures of it from my old Kodak camera!
Wow, that’s amazing! Did you take photos from the concert? If so, are you able to share them at all?
They are 3-4 pics from my family's old Kodak. It looks like I'm a mile from the stage. You can not make out anyone, but the artwork above the stage is clearly discernable.
@@BeatlesCentricUniverse I would love to see them! If you're able to, may you send a copy to adambound489 (@) gmail (dot) com? Thanks!
What a great film! Very thrilled and hope estate releases official blu-ray for 50th anniversary of tour. I attended Detroit afternoon concert and it was such a great experience! Btw this video inspired me to spin the Dark Horse album and except for a few rough moments vocally it has stood the test of time. Really still like the album a lot! It should rank mid-tier, not bottom, in his catalog!
Still in my rotation.
Of all the solo Beatles he brings the most musical jam to the party! Free, fun, rocking, multicultural joy!
I saw him December 8th. It was my first concert.
I was there too. Afternoon or evening?
@@toothbrush5190 evening. Ravi was stuck in Chicago with the flu, iirc.
I was here at the Omni! It was my first concert! I was 15!
I was at the 10:30 pm show at the Omni.
