As Eric Clapton and Steve Winwood prepare to take the stage at MSG, it would have been George Harrison's 65th birthday. My favourite Beatle - and he was fab! I expect Eric will pay tribute. Here's mine, humble as it is...

Great tribute!

He is missed!


I am listening to Brainwashed as I type.

George was my favorate too. He wrote the book on how to play lead in a song based band.

I really gained an appreciation for George during the Concert For Bangladesh days.

George Harrison...taught me a lot about love....He is loved.

memento mori.

RIP George.

My fav beatle RIP

Cheers to George. Hopefully he's enjoying himself in a special garden, and John is there with him.

There was one George song I never got ahold of: "I Don't Care Anymore". Can anyone point me to where I can hear this, short of tracking down the "Dark Horse" 7"? I have and cherish two other non-LP b-sides by him, "Deep Blue" and "Miss O'Dell". Thanks!

What Is Life (vinyl audio)

"Isn't it a Pity" from All Things Must Pass is one of my all time favorite tunes.

What else TV station beside PHOENIX remember his 65 birthday ? (25 Feb)
it came on Sunday about 2.5 hrs

One of the all-time greats--

Unforgettable guitar leads, never a show-off, tasteful,understated, and from everything I've read, a truly gentle and kind soul.

My favorite Harrison songs: Behind That Locked Door, Any Road, I'd Have You Anytime, Far East Man

His work with Ravi Shankar was amazing, HIs collaborations with the Travelling Willburys was outstanding.

His session work with Lennon, Dave Mason, Delaney & Bonnie, Leon Russell, Billy Preston, Badfinger, Clapton and a host of others was spot-on.

Happy birthday George ! Miss you !

Much missed indeed.

Very much missed.

And George, is he the only Beatle to share a mike with a Rolling Stone ?, I've remember seeing George and Mick sharing a mike during "I saw her standing there" when Beatles was introdust in the "Rock Hall of Fame".
It was amazing too see, I really can't remember any other time whwn a Beatle ons a Stone share a mike, can you ?

I agree with you GG. My favorite as well..I also like the version Billy Preston did at the Concert For George.

Give Me Love





Beware of Darkness







I believe he would probably be the most respected Beatle amongst other musicians?

I love George's body of work, also an underrated guitarist.

what about''We love you'' and''all you need is love.....

We lost one of the greatest songwriters!!

Thanks for the You Tube "Iamwaiting" but when I asked my question, have a Beatle and a Stone share a mike ? I was thinking about , in public on a stage in front of people, I don't think that has happend to often.
And George was my fav. Beatle, and his song "Faster" is amazing to listen to with earphones ! You can just hear the bullet goes right trough your head !!

Pardon my bad english, but with "sharing a mike" I am thinking about the sharing the SAME mike ! So We love you and All you need is love dosen't count.

Come on guys..Is a thread about a guy full of love and you're arguing semantics.

Useless fact...

George wanted to use a Maestro fuzz-tone during the session for Can't Buy Me Love 2 years before Satisfaction, but this was promptly stopped by the George Martin/Abbey Road studio heads...





He's always been my favourite Beatle, shame that some of his most celebrated guitar parts were actually played by Paul though heh.

Here´s a short interview from Swedish television. Don´t know which year, maybe the late eighties.
