Yes, that was Eric Clapton on guitar up front. This was a tribute concert for George Harrison after he passed. There were many, many tremendous artists who took part in this concert. You will see a young man playing guitar who looks like George Harrison near Clapton. That is George Harrison's son. I have this whole concert on DVD and it is great.

If you every get the chance to listen to the entire Concert for George concert from 2002, I recommend it! Thanks, and nice job!

Billy Preston helped George put the song together before George recorded it. This whole concert was/is incredibly beautiful. ✌️ ❤️

These back up singers are incredible

You have to watch the entire Concert for George...amazing!!

Billy Preston has a heartbreaking and amazing life story. You two should check it out. It will make you love and respect him all the more. He was a wonderful man and he loved George Harrison very much. They were like brothers. This "Tribute To George" concert after George died is a beautiful concert to watch. Tom Petty, Prince, Eric Clapton, Ringo and Paul, Jeff Lynn from ELO and Dhani Harrison, George's son who looks Exactly like his daddy. What a lucky boy to grow up around all of these folks. I Love Billy's version of this song. He is wonderful.

I believe when the Beatles were struggling with what what would become the album Let It Be, George ran into Billy Preston and invited him to the recordings. From the movie it looked like Billy sitting in was the catalyst they needed to actually finish the album. He was a great addition to the recording.

Not only is he the fifth of The Beatles, he is also the sixth of The Rolling Stones. He was so good that he was to play very often with both legendary groups - because he was a real asset! . And also a great musician of course.

Billy Preston was really something else in his hay day “Nothing from noting” was one of my fav!

Billy Preston is also considered as the fifth Beatle. He was the pianist in so many Beatles songs. He was there at the rooftop concert.

This video clip is from The Concert for George, after George's Death. Also on stage are Eric Clapton, Jeff Lynn, George's Son, Dani, Paul McCartney, Ringo Star, Tom Petty. And many more. Great Tribute Concert put together by George's long time Friend Eric Clapton. And it's was George Harrison who brought Billy in,just as he done with Eric.

You guys should really watch the documentary Get Back which is about the Beatles recording their last album and getting ready for their last concert together. It’s like being a fly on the wall watching these geniuses writing songs that the world now knows so well. In the 2nd part 21-year old Billy Preston drops in the session, jumps on the piano, and just improvises along with what they’ve working on and KILLS it. And the Beatles are all just astounded and delighted. It’s one of most incredible moments and full of joy. ❤

Billy KILLED it! He was known as 'the fifth Beatle.' I have several friends addicted to this version now. I've watched this video at least 40 or 50 times. I can feel Billy's soul in his voice.

Billy Preston played on several Beatles albums (and some of each member’s solo albums), he also was a member of George Harrison’s band during his 1974 (and only) solo U.S. tour (I went to one of the Chicago shows). He also toured with Ringo a few times as a member of the “All Starr Band”.

In addition to Clapton, there's George's son Dhani on guitar and Ringo on drums, Paul's there and also fellow Travelling Wilbury Jeff Lynne

This was part of a concert that was a tribute to George Harrison with my great high profile musicians. Jeff Lynne (from ELO) did a great version of George Harrison's "Give Me Love (Give Me Peace on Earth)" in this same concert.

At age 11, Preston appeared on an episode of Nat King Cole's NBC TV show singing the Fats Domino hit "Blueberry Hill" with Cole. He also appeared in St. Louis Blues, the 1958 W. C. Handy biopic starring Nat King Cole; Preston played with Handy at a younger age. In 1962, Preston joined Little Richard's band as an organist, and it was while performing in Hamburg that he met the Beatles. In 1963, he played the organ on Sam Cooke's Night Beat album and released his own debut album, 16 Yr. Old Soul, for Cooke's SAR label. In 1965, he released the album The Most Exciting Organ Ever and performed on the rock and roll show Shindig! In May or June of 1965, he had a session with Little Richard and Jimi Hendrix , in New York City, yielding the Soul classic dirge "I Don't Know What You've Got". In 1967, he joined Ray Charles' band. Following this exposure, several musicians began asking Preston to contribute to their sessions.

Yes this was from a beautiful tribute to George, "The Concert For George" a MUST WATCH guys, yes that was Danni Harrison on stage looking like a young George and Paul even says Danni being there makes it look like George stayed young and all of the rest got old. Please watch it Billy also does another of George's songs as well RIP Billy and George Ty for the music. Keep Safe Keep Strong 🦘🦘🦘🦘🎶🎶🎶🎶🎄🎄🎅🤶🎄🎄

What a fantastic concert this was. I regularly watch it.

..."Class of 76"...Billy Preston...What can I say except his music played constantly on the radio in the 70's but HE wasn't well recognized because he didn't have a flashy band name....He was just Billy Preston...more is...Nothing from Nothing...Will it Go Round in Circles...You are so Beautiful...That's the way God Planned It...Thx!

I love Billy Preston's rendition of this song. Nobody is more justified in covering this great George Harrison song than Billy! This was taken from the George Harrison tribute concert with all famous musicians paying tribute to him. For me, this performance was definitely one of the highlights of the concert. Billy is like a shining star taking everyone to church!

I've been blessed to have seen Billy Preston twice in small jazz clubs, once with Ringo Star. He definitely knows how to "bring you to church".

It is so amazing, how much a simple song, can move you so much

Billy was a child prodigy who met the met the Beatles when he was about 14 in Hamburg in their early days. And then he was in London where they were recording their last album and George invited to hang out and the result is PURE MAGIC.

This whole concert is amazing. It took place on the one year anniversary of George's passing. It brings all of George's friends and his son together to play his songs. The 3 guitarists are Eric Clapton, Jeff Lynne, and Dhani Harrison (George's son). This whole concert is about George Harrison. If you want more from this concert, check out: Horse to Water While my Guitar Gently Weeps Photograph Wha-Wha And Beware of Darkness

John was talking about inviting Billy to join the band in a formal way. Sadly, the band was on its way to breaking up, so it didn't happen. But no matter who you are, if the Beatles want you to join them then you really must be something special. Billy gave the band a real lift, and maybe kept them going a bit longer than they might have otherwise done.

Even more beautiful was watching Dhani Harrison (George's son) playing. And yes he looks just like his dad.

This is the Concert for George!! When George passed away, this was the tribute concert for him. That's George Harrison's son up there. You need to do more songs from this concert. Try Taxman. Tom Petty sings lead.

Never forget Ringo & Paul along with Jeff Lynne were all also a part of this "Tribute to George Harrison" Eric Clapton does a perfect of George's style of guitar & his son Dhani Harrison on acoustic guitar is great ~ You should explore more clips from that tribute

This is from a tribute concert after George passed. All his friends were there. Thats George's son Dhani.

It's so sad that Billy passed away 3,5 years after this. Rest softly in peace. ❤️

Billie Preston's cover of the Beatles "Blackbird" should be next.

I saw Billy and George in concert together in the 1970's. One of the best live shows ever!

Billy was on keys for the Beatle's rooftop concert. It's worth a watch.

Billy Preston is so underrated as a singer

Do yourselves a favor and watch this entire movie, "Concert For George"... they do most of his songs and the range of artists that were friends and co-players with George are all on stage giving tribute exactly one year to the day of his passing. Lots of teary eyed moments.

🌠This was a Star-studded Tribute to George after his passing.... AMAZING Concert🪲💔😢

Billy Preston also does a great rendition of Joe Cocker's You Are So Beautiful.

Ringo Starr, speaking during the rehearsals for the Concert for George in 2002, called Billy Preston one of the greatest Hammond organ players of all time. In another interview Starr said, "Billy never put his hands in the wrong place. Never." Preston's song "Nothing from Nothing" was featured on the soundtracks of 2003's Elf and 2008's Be Kind Rewind. In his introduction to the 2010 BBC Radio program Billy Preston: That's the Way God Planned It, former Yes keyboardist Rick Wakeman said of Preston: "Every keyboard player I know loves Billy Preston. You can spot his playing a mile off, whether it's the Hammond organ, the Fender Rhodes or the piano. He had such a spiritual touch to his technique; it made him completely unique." In 2021, White Horse Pictures and Homegrown Pictures announced that they were making a documentary on Preston, to be directed by Paris Barclay.

I hope you don't mind me adding another comment, but I came upon this quote from Brian Wilson Of the Beach boys and I found it very moving. "“The other Beatle that got to me was George Harrison,” Wilson wrote in the same memoir. “He was so spiritual. He had a way of making things simple: ‘Give me life / Give me love / Give me peace on earth.'”

Every time I watch this video, I remember watching it live on television, and live or now - it still makes me cry. Love all of these Great Music Artists!

You should really watch "While My Guitar Gently Weaps" from the Grammy's featuring Prince. His solo is incredible. I know you've already reacted to the studio version of that song, but Prince's solo is a MUST SEE. It was another tribute to George Harrison.

A great tribute, by a great MAN. I saw Billy Preston in concert in 1973. He was so talented and so very soulful! My very favorite song by him is "That's the Way God Planned It". He takes you to church with a message of love for one another. Also some fabulous horns in this one.

That is George’s handsome son. He looks just like him. He also plays on the great guitar tribute to George’s “My guitar Gently Weeps” Prince, Petty, Clapton and others!

You have to watch Get Back. It's about 9 hours long, so, you know, clear the calendar. But the moment Billy Preston (so young!) shows up at the studio, the whole vibe changes immediately! Just five phenomenal musicians at the top of their game, jamming and writing music.

I've been following this channel since before Amber was a regular, and let me tell you: You guys have come a long way! You spotted Clapton immediately. Picked out Sir Paul, Ringo, you even picked up on that certain someone who must be related to George. He is! That's his son, Dhani. Lots of other celebrities in this band, too, should you want to look them all up. Congrats, guys. You can understand better how much this music means to so many when you can draw these connections and meanings on your own. We're here to help you if you need it, but it's pretty powerful when you just get it. It moves me when it moves you.

Always 👍🏽 s for Billy Preston

Billy Preston was called the 5th Beatle because he was very close with them and played piano on some of their recordings (most notably "Get Back ").

This was the "Concert for George" it was done about a year after George passed away. It was an all star concert which is why you see Eric Clapton and Paul McCartney. The younger shorter guy on the guitar next to Clapton is George Harrison's son Dhani.

Billy Preston takes us to church in this song on the organ !!!!

I forgot how long it's been since George passed and "The Concert for George" was held, George's son is so young here playing acoustic down the end.

+1 for Billy Preston's duet with Syreeta singing "With You I'm Born Again". Their chemistry in that song is just amazing!

I've always loved the tribute concert for George; another favorite of mine from this concert is Ringo singing "Photograph". Absolutely fantastic! Keep 'em coming...

Good Lord, you should dive into Billy's solo career. He started off as a teenager, playing for Little Richard and so did Jimi Hendrix. Too much soul for one man's heart to possess.

Got to see Billy when he toured with George in 1974. He was a ball of energy.

George Harrison's son Dhani Harrison is also playing guitar on stage.

same brown is one of the backing singers who had a hit in 1989 with stop

Definitely need to watch the whole show! Concert for George!

George brought Billy into the studio. The band knew him from the days in Germany when they were playing there and Billy was touring with Ray Charles. The original reason for bringing him in at first was to see if an "outsider" would calm down the constant squabbling in the studio. It worked because Billy was apparently a natural born Peacemaker.

"Something" is a must see from this concert

I was at this concert in 2002,still the best one I've been to and I've been to over 40 concerts over the years!!

I'm SO glad that you finally reacted to this awesome cover of the man this is dedicated to. George Harrison.

Thank you thank you thank you Billy Preston is amazing especially this video thank you thank you thank😊

Praise to Billy, I know this a tribute, and all respect...But, nobody can sing it like George.

Just wonderful!

Preston was a top session keyboardist in the 1960s, during which he backed artists such as Little Richard, Sam Cooke, Ray Charles, the Everly Brothers, Reverend James Cleveland, the Beatles and the Rolling Stones. He gained attention as a solo artist with hit singles such as "That's the Way God Planned It", the Grammy-winning "Outa-Space", "Will It Go Round in Circles", "Space Race", "Nothing from Nothing", and "With You I'm Born Again". Additionally, Preston co-wrote "You Are So Beautiful", which became a #5 hit for Joe Cocker.

Good song good reaction

Billy Preston played organ and keyboards for Eric Clapton for many years before he passed away. His absence in the Clapton touring band was filled by Paul Carrack of Ace, and Mike & The Mechanics fame.
