George stopped playing guitar for a year or so to focus on the sitar. But for three years, from 1969 to 1971, he was one of the most musical guitar players/songwriters in all of rock.

This is a brilliant song. The Beatles were brilliant.

Always great to see John and Paul singing together. They seemed to harmonize in the most natural sense.

The Beatles are a life long friend. We grew up together, felt the joys and pain. Not always on my mind as I grow older and more distant, but all it takes is a song when up or down, and we’re once again in support, right along side and right back where it began. When that feeling transcends everything else and can at a moment snap you back in, there is more in that feeling than life in of itself. Lifelong friends to the end.

Well, not the Beatles , but I was 17 and staying with my older brother in Marin County in 1974. One evening while walking around Sausilito, I heard Clapton music coming out of a small hole in the wall and peeked in to get a look. Nobody cared to ID me. It was him, playing impromptu with some locals. Early Un-Plugged jam. He was my Idol at the time, so I was feeling pretty pumped. Saw him perform at the Cow Palace a week later.

The greatest band that will ever be...in our universe and the universe next to ours!

They sound SO good.

I really felt exactly the smile George made during the short solo

This concert was so original, momentous at the time, just as the Beatles were and still are. Rock on, gentlemen!

This is my ten year old grandsons favorite song. ( he can sing it too!)

This band was tight. every note and drum beat was in perfect place all the time. The creativity was amazing. This is as good as it gets

Masterpiece, so in the groove, so down. I love this song, always have

It was and still is the best band ever

For all the talent in the Beatles, and especially Paul's genius playing of the bass, when it comes down to brass tacks, my favorite Beatles songs must have John on lead vocals. Dig A Pony never had any radio play except on the college low power stations. This can easily rank as their greatest song, or at least in the top five. John's voice is hauntingly beautiful, as he so often is. I also think he wrote most of the lyrics to Dig A Pony. That is always a source of debate with followers of the Beatles. Was it John, Paul, or both who wrote the lyrics and the chord line? In my uneducated opinion, this one is all John. Shout out to Ringo for steady rhythm and George for his very creative lead guitar. We will never see the likes of these four again.

I say this not very seriously… I’m 68, and I’ve been a fan since 1963. Watching the Get Back documentary and the rooftop concert, this is what strikes me: in the documentary, The Beatles are messing around a great deal, George walks out, and everything is just jamming and not focussing. Then, lo and behold, they are on the roof, playing really well rehearsed songs flawlessly (almost!). Now - it’s almost as if they did a load of messing around for the cameras, and then, when filming has finished for the day, they settle down and rehearse seriously. I know what you’ll say, and I agree. But still - it’s not impossible…!
