@@wendyw4487Totally with you there, Wendy. Coolness is a useless and ephemeral term. Listening to George there was like listening to a lovely man of no celebrity; like your folks' best friend from their estate. Not the slightest hint of entertainer about him, let alone superstar of the most famous and influential band of all time!. Seemingly more humble than modest, it certainly sounds like it would have been a privilege to have known George Harrison.
@@andrewstubbs822oh my goodness! This is the most impressive George Harrison speaking on a topic, I have ever seen! It really shows all George's best qualities and he shines with knowledge, heart, spirit & soul. If you are any kind of Dylan fan your on the edge of your seat when he's talking about his buddy! He loves Dylan how I have always loved Dylan. You have to understand complication to get Dylan & all his changes and I love the way George does get that & loves everything about the man, like I do. 😊 George is so deep and explain things well, and just a regular guy! He puts you at ease and that's all very Cool 😎❤
Back in the day, George was known as the "quiet Beatle." Turns out it just took George longer to develop because he had much HIGHER to develop than any of the other Beatles. Naturally, George, the Beatle with the MOST to give lives the shortest. And the LONGEST living Beatle will undoubtedly be Ringo. 😢
And so is George Harrison and John Lennon in their own ways ,all heart soul & wisdom Like Dylan from a lot of experiences in life !!! Love these men, very deep.💥🌟💫✨
George was like a flower, that got more beautiful with time. I’ve learned so much about life and living from this man. He had a lot of wisdom on how to live, anyone that hears it, is changed for the better, in so many ways.
@@watchingtheworldfish Last time I checked, George didn’t last forever? Also, your definition of a flower, is a better description of George, then mine was.
You said George was "a flower that got more beautiful with time", which is a lovely sentiment, but not the nature of flowers: they start to wither at the height of their bloom.@@DA-bp8lf
It was so spot on. Amazing. I think part of the reason George could do that was because he had a fantastic ear. You can tell by both his singing and his playing. He could really hear dynamics and subtleties of tone. I bet if you asked him to play a guitar line that sounded like Chuck Berry or a guitar line that sounded like AC/DC or The Clash or The Who or whatever, he would come really close because you can hear in his guitar playing and singing that he could express tonal and musical subtleties. I think the same quality allows him to do an incredible extemporaneous singing impression of Bob Dylan singing one of his own songs.
George Harrison seems like a lovely guy. He's so incredibly gentle and humble. Both his singing voice and his speaking voice have a gentle and pleasant tone. I can see how guys who he played with really enjoyed his company. He was a very tasteful, humble, melodic and understated guitar player and singer, and he just seems like a guy who was very genuine and would have been enjoyable to hang out with. I've never heard George singing Every Grain of Sand. It was absolutely beautiful.
Thank you for sharing this tribute to George and Bob Dylan, two of my favorite musicians and people. Their music spoke volumes to their audiences. RIP George. Hopefully he didn't need to be reborn!!
I likeI like how calm and humble is George every time he talks about Bob Dylan here. It's like a huge respect but also he is careful with his words. You see, the thing with Bob is that you can try and describe him, just like George did, but you can't really understand him on all levels. There is a limit where you can get to know him, and you can't cross that limit. George was very aware of that, so if you notice when he talks about Bob he is simply coming from a humbling position and he never overshares in anything he has to say on the matter... He measures his words. Such a great human being, and one of the best Beatles . And that comes from Lennon fan.
I’ll be 70 in July. I grew up in the shadow of the Spectrum in Philadelphia. Saw every show that ever came through Philly, so I’ve seen them all. Dylan for my head, George Harrison and Jerry Garcia for my heart. I no reason to listen to much else. Happy I saw George that one and only tour through the states he did with that troupe of Indian musicians. As hoarse as he was, it was a thing of beauty. I’ll never forget it. RIP !
Happy trails to you also. The Dead played the Spectrum about 50 shows. If I wasn’t at a minimum 35 shows, I wasn’t at 1. Never paid a red cent to get in . Neighbors worked there, we walked in and out like we owned the place. I have a girlfriend who is encouraging me to write a book. “ You have great stories, you need to do this “ She’s correct.
The commentary of George on Bob Dylan was spot on. Bob has had a huge impact on millions of people. He is able to cover a complex situation and speak it to the lay folk in a succinct and empathetic way. My first record was Bob Dylan, and I am now 72 yo. I was about 12 yo then. Masters of War is a song that has never left me. It is as relevent today as it was in the 60's.🇦🇺 George was, in my mind, the most talented of the four Beatles. 🇦🇺 15:26
George is absolutely spot on here talking in relation to Bob Dylan. Bobs contribution to songwriting is wonderful, he does not have to justify or explain himself to anyone.😊
Two of my all-time favorites! Miss George immensely as we surely need him in these times. Thanks so much for this amazing piece of musical history. From a Vietnam Era Marine Corps veteran. Namaste.
If I haven’t told you personally yet, welcome home & thank you for your service in going to the fight while protecting us from the fight coming to us. My Dad was a WW2 Vet & I’m no longer young. I do hate war, but not as much as I love our warriors bc we both know the wars & warriors come from two different worlds. As a senior now, I can sincerely say I love you, because I finally learned to love everyone. Stay safe & keep warm. ~
@@James-hd4ms I think this is a typical attitude among the successful. Fame kind of kills the art. I am a little known singer-songwriter myself. Most of my "fans" seem to like that fact. I know I do.
George's statement that if all Dylan had written was Blowin' In the Wind, he's done more than the average person. I agree (and I'm another average person).
Sir 🎉Harrison and Dylan is right on and true to both of these musical genius men. Perhaps they know how to remain creative and generous on top of there fame and money. My new memoir doing more with one life would be better if I could have embed this commentary!😊
I liked it when George mentioned the similarities of Bob Dylan and Tom Petty’s voice. Saying they both have that twang to them. WOW, the Traveling Wilburys! What a band, yes?
What an insightfully pleasing Harrison interview. 👌 Thanks Harp..... and Happy New Year to one-n-all...... 🤟 And as always *STILL:* _“Keep a clean nose, watch the plainclothes. You don't need a weather man to know which way the wind blows”_ ☮
Many people not understanding Dylan should consider the significance of his lyrics, particularly in the 60s.Compare a song such as Like a Rolling Stone with the average 60s pop single lyric. Dylan was awarded the Nobel Prize for literature.
Just so fg awesome. Thanks a million X over. In the very beginning Geo says all that ever needs to be said: "Richard, Chuck, Buddy, the Everlys. One Dylan song has more wisdom in it than a billion songs from all the rest". RIP Geo, u were also one of a kind (literarily and figuratively).
I will always love GEORGE HARRISON especially when he's talking about my favorite singer songwriter BOB DYLAN even though recently I found out that he is no fan of my other favorite singer songwriter and guitarist NEIL YOUNG despite that,I still love him
you must be a huge george harrison nerd in order to not only track down all these obscure interviews, but also manage to catch every time he mentions bob dylan. great job
George Harrison was totally fantastic and definitely my favorite of the Fab Four. he was the youngest but most experienced of the Beatles. and the quiet one that spoke volumes he was an honorable man and a wonderful person and he is definitely very much missed.
These guys songs were wise beyond their years and helped the rest of us live out our lives well and thoughtfully so thanks to you both but unfortunately you're not around anymore to hear our thanks.
George was treated horribly by John and Paul's micromanaging. I don't blame him for leaving the Beatles, even if it was just for a few days. He made his point!
Listen at 2:50 check George🌺💥trying singing like Bob Dylan🌹🌺😅 And from 8:10 he sings part ‘MrTambourine’, and at the very end he sings beautifully ‘Every Grain of Sand’.. 18:40 Thank you Harp👌
I was an extra for a movie, There was a staged concert. Nobody said anything so I just sat waiting. Then Bob Dylan walked out! He looked a bit stoned and was asked to sing but shook his head no. Great to see the legend himself.
