George let loose all the greatness he had been holding back due to the restrictions of the Beatles. What a marvelous album.. Produced by Phil Spector of the wall of sound fame. Many other musicians appear including Ringo, Eric Clapton, and many more.

Unfortunately I feel like it suffers from a similar (but more glaring) problem that the White Album had, too big. If it was condensed to one disc it would be by far the best album.

I totally agree, I heard this song 2 years ago for the first time, I knew this all from the 709ies, but AWW must failed this song, such great harmonies.

"Isn't It A Pity" is one of my all-time favourite songs by anyone. It makes me emotional every single time I hear it -- especially that incredible slide solo. George Harrison was an amazing artist.

Man, there's no other guitarist that can make me cry from just the tone of his guitar like George. It just reaches inside me and wrenches my heart.

George Harrison has been a favourite of mine since the early 70's. His music is so soulful and spiritual, he is very underrated.

Brilliant album, and yes "The Concert for Bangladesh" is a fantastic album.

Always worth listening to George, the underrated genius of the Beatles. Many great songs to try, how about Taxman or Beware of Darkness? Enjoy! 🎵🎸🎹🎶

@@dennisberceles7387 Yeah, how about the studio discs from Living in the Past? Every song is great!

What I love about George, is that he isn't afraid to just let the song breathe. He doesn't fill the verse with unnecessary words, like most songs today, he wasnt afraid to let the song just ring out like the ending just going and going and going. You're in a mindset, a vibe, and he let's you stay in it so you can get through all the emotions you need to.

See the Concert For George movie from 2002 where Eric Clapton teams up with McCartney, Ringo, and many other people that George had played with to play his songs. (Tom Petty, Gary Brooker,Jeff Lynne, Dhani Harrison, etc.) There is also an Indian music portion with Ravi Shankar and Indian musicians, including an accomplished sitar piece played by his daughter Anoushka. There is also a Monty Python segment, because George was a big supporter of theirs. The interviews on the DVD are touching. Then there is also the Martin Scorsese movie "George Harrison - Living In The Material World". Harrison wrote "Here Comes The Sun" while walking around with a guitar in Eric Clapton's back yard. George also wrote the bridge to the Cream song "Badge", as Clapton had played lead guitar on Harrison's "While My Guitar Gently Weeps". Harrison had written the song "Something" about his wife Patti, and later Clapton fell in love with her and wrote "Layla" about his unrequited love for her. She eventually left, and went with Clapton for a while, but the 2 guitarists still remained friends.

Oh, yes! This is an absolute must see concert video. So much British rock royalty jamming together to honor George. Can't recommend this enough.

The album cover of All Things Must Pass is so cool.

The lead guitar fills in between the vocals and during the fade out is what George wanted to do on Hey Jude. Paul didn't like the idea and since that was his song he had the final say. So what did George do on this song, played lead guitar fills in between the vocals and in the fade out, with a little Hey Jude reference ( na na na na ) as a hint to Paul as if to say ' this is what I had in mind for Hey Jude'.

You guys probably think, "Oh it's Greybeard he must've been only into heavy rock", but I'm a virtual musical sponge and I love all the solo careers of the Fab 4, especially George! He got his due when he got from under John and Paul. IMO the most creative and talented I say with a bold statement! Great reaction you guys....loved it!

I bought this album when it first came out over 50 years ago and still have it. I still love listening to it.

In high school, I took a class in public speaking. A young woman in that class, for an assignment, recited these lyrics as a spoken word piece. It was impressive. Very nice. Peace.

George is the only Beatle I keep going back to. He was right most of the time. Too bad the majority of the World didn't take his message to heart. Fortunately he has a rich solo discography to explore. I don't make requests anymore, thanks have fun.✌

Absolutely love that in back ground. The Hey Jude chorus comes on subtle like... Yet total Harrison.

That is one of my favorite bits in any song. The song starts out as a lament to a romantic love gone sour. But then during the outro, just at the edge of your hearing, something starts pulling on a thread in your mind. It takes it's time before it finally makes it's way into your consciousness and you realize what exactly you've been hearing and what the song is really about

3 brilliant songwriters! That's what makes the Beatles hard to beat

I grew up listening to the Beatles from when they came on the scene in 1964,saw them live as well was unbelievable!!! I didn't realize until much later,much later, that George Harrison's music ended being my favorite. So beautiful,so much meaning,for what was happening in my life. I hope you found eternal peace,you beautiful gentle soul!!!!!

You. Would both love Concert For George, a DVD of a concert at ThE Royal Albert Hall, with Eric Clapton, Jeff Lynne Paul and Ringo and many others. It’s done with such beautiful reverence , all GEORGE Harrison songs and Billy Preston nails Isn’t It A Pity. I guarantee tears and goosebumps.

Of the Beatles, I enjoy George's solo work the most. My favorite song of his is "What Is Life".

Lovely to see you enjoying this. Thank you. His song, Give me love (Give me peace on Earth) epitomizes his vibe. The music video to Crackerbox Palace shows his fun side (he produced/financed Monty Python's Life of Brian and Time Bandits as well as over 20 other films). I'm fond of all the songs from his last album Brainwashed...it's all worth a listen.

George was always my favorite Beatle. I always thought he should have had more songs on Beatles Albums. It's mostly Lennon and McCartney. George's songs that are on Beatles albums are awesome!!

The great Ringo on drums.Pete Ham and Joey Molland ,and Tom Evans from Badfinger.and a whole bunch of other greats..

Always loved the "Hey Jude" outro. Good job picking it up!

Great reaction guys. Really love the Beatles, both as a band & most of their solo. All things must pass was released as a double album & there was two versions of Isn't a pity on it. George was only allowed two of his songs on the Beatles albums so he had a lot of material going into this album. Yes Nick Here Comes the Sun was George's song & he's singing on it. He also had the song Something on that same Beatles album.(Abby Road) Would love to see you guys doing more George. Thank you. Here's a couple of other classic solo George Harrison. My Sweet Lord Beware of Darkness What is Life Give me Love Cloud Nine When we were Fab Dark Horse You Chill Down Let it Roll

you might listen to the version of this from THE CONCERT FOR GEORGE that was held a year after george died....clapton starts singing then it goes to billy preston....that whole show needs to be seen...many of the players that day played on the original album

Incredible triple album from George- once the dam was opened...🎶🎶🎶!!! This one is so hauntingly beautiful. I love the energy of "Awaiting On You All" and "Apple Scruffs", and I also love "Beware of Darkness" and "I Dig Love." Lotsa great George tunes to discover!! 🎵❤️🎵

Hi guys, so good to see this. Apart from being a massive Beatles fan since I was 9 years old, I have loved them each indivually with their amazing personalities and sense of humour. I have lost count of how many times I have watched their movies "A Hard Days Night" & "Help". "A hard Days Night" was the first ever movie I saw at the cinema aged 9, and it's still my favourite today. George Harrison's Liverpool humour in those movies is wonderful. His solo albums are filled with beautiful songs. He was very religious and quite simply a beautiful soul. I hope you dive into his solo stuff some more. It is one very rewarding journey if you do. Thankyou for playing this. I have this album and it is so good ! Byeee Jim X

Yes, "Here Comes the Sun" is George. More Harrison/Beatles include: "Something" (from Abbey Road also), "While My Guitar Gently Weeps", "Taxman" (you'll run into this when you do "Revolver"), "I Me Mine", the trippy "Within You, Without You" and "Blue Jay Way" "If I Needed Someone" among others. This "All Things" album is terrific, start to finish, and features a ton of notable musicians, including Clapton, Whitlock, Preston.....I remember getting this album and Joe Cocker's "Mad Dogs and Englishmen" for Christmas the year they came out, talk about a contrast in styles! (Both still favorites!)

George’s first contribution to the Beatle catalog was Don’t Bother Me from the 2nd album. A few years later he had two songs on the HELP album. From then on he contributed at least two songs on each album or the B side of a single or two.

Great musician, Great song, Great album. ✌️☮️

I love George’s tasteful and instantly recognizable slide playing on this track.

Such a beautiful song! George Harrison was a spiritual artist. He sought after greater purposes of life and gave music to his inner feelings and revelations in a rock era which was itself a challenging task to do.The depth of his songwriting and performances is unparalleled many of his songs have a real zenful effect. And then of course his amazing slide. He was really unique! George goes beyond The Beatles.That's my opinion.

Hey Nick Add the "Concert for George" on BluRay to that list. A bunch of Georges (Clapton, McCartney etc etc) friends getting together at Royal Albert Hall to celebrate his music on the anniversary of his death. One of my favourite Concert Films - Have a great Day. Tom from Toronto

What I like about George Harrison, and many of my favourite bands, is that he uses very different chords then just the standard chords most songs have. Here he starts out with G, C#m7(b5)/G (342000), Cmaj/G and back to G. Such interesting chord progressions.

Amazing song by an amazing man

This is my first time reacting to your reaction videos. I'm glad you liked this particular song. My brother loved it and it was the last song we listened to together. He thought George did the best music on solo albums compared with the other Beatles. His favorite album that George did was '' Extra Texture''. in closing , I request this full album for my brother . Have a beautiful day . R.I.P. Glen

FYI. The Concert for Bangladesh is the first public performance of a former Beatle after they split.

dont let me wait too long, be here now, awaiting on you all, id have you anytime, and run of the mill are all legendary!

George's embrace of Eastern philosophy shines through in this song... which is a mantra as well... thus the long fade out.

That wasn't a fade out; that was a faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayde out!

A pre-Nelson Wilbury joint. God bless you, George.

Looking at your album covers, brings back great memories. I always read the credits and loved the albums that included the lyrics.

It’s instantly recognizable as a George song. Timeless message, simple arrangement not distracting from it. There are Harrison songs I prefer but this is really where he was at then I think.

Do yourselves a favor and watch The Concert for George. All of it. It’s amazing! Don’t miss the end.

This is one of my all time favorite songs by George. It gives me chills. You should also check out Art Of Dying from the same album. Love your reactions, keep on going.

Great pick as 1st Beatles-solo work. George was a very prolific writer as were Paul and John but few of his songs ever made it onto Beatles albums. George had plenty of song’s already written when the Beatles broke up, thus the reason it sounds very Beatle-ish and the number of songs (23) on this triple album. You’ll enjoy most any of his solo work.

If You want to hear the very best of George's slide work then you should check out Alvin Lee's ( of Ten Years After fame) song The Bluest Blues, brilliant song, George is epic and Alvin absolutely kills it wth his solo. Too much goodness in one song.

It's cool how he puts the bass voice in the back-up chorus . . . Buddhist chant & Russian Orthodox chant.

Two of the best tracks from "All things Must Pass" are the hidden classics, "Let It Down" and "The Art Of Dying". You might find these a little more challenging. Trust Me.

Love this song. It's extremely Beatle-esque. George wrote it while he was a Beatle. The extended time at the end is straight out of the Beatles playbook. Ala, Hey Jude. Imagine if Paul and John were singing the harmonies? Did you know? Just before the breakup, the Beatles discussed another album. In concept, a 4-4-2 album. Meaning, 4 songs by Paul, 4 by John, 4 by George and 2 by Ringo. If they had done that, possibly "Isn't it a pity" would have made that album. We'll never know.

Saw him in Toronto in the 70's. I don't remember a thing.

This was George’s album where he let out a bunch of songs he had backlogged because the were rejected by the The Beatles for their albums. Lennon and McCartney dominated songwriting and selection from day 1. George took longer to learn to write and didn’t have the advantage of a writing partner.

Consider the lyrics - they were written when George was only 23 years old. Such deep meaning from somebody so young...amazing.
