Wow, I'm just coming from the Get Back documentary. Seeing an older Billy Preston playing my favorite Harrison song actually almost brought a tear to my eye. Not to mention also having Clapton and Harrison's son on guitar with Paul and Ringo there too. I can't even describe the emotions that this video made me feel because it took me so much by surprise. Wonderful performance. And wow, Dhani Harrison looks SO much like his father here
Right?! Wiping the tears as I type.
Same ❤️
With you….a beautiful performance. 🙏💛👌
I say: Dhani is George's clone
Me too , awesome
OMG…I’m a black woman born in the 60’s and this song was everything at the time and it still is today… I loved the seventies, the music, the fashion every thing was great about that era. I miss those days
I was also born in the 60’s. I long for that time period too. The world changed & not for the better.
Me also 1963. Just think some day in the future they will say "remember the good old days back in 2024" YIKES LOL
@@cdddan1 Hopefully the days of 2024/2025 will change SOON !
@@cdddan1 Honestly I can’t imagine anyone saying that. I think from 2016 to 2021 will be looked at like the Great Depression or the Civil War People are struggling & the country is more divided than ever.
To yeshua3451. I’m a black woman born in 61 and I also love the 60,70,80s music especially the old school music and this is my favorite song by George Harrison I love it I too miss this kind of music today it’s a very good thing I have cds, LPs, and cassette but hell no NO 8 tracks thank God yikes 😂 have a great day and evening with peace and 💕
Billy did Not just Sing,
He SANG, with all his Heart for George.😌
Me agradas
😊💜☮️🎼🎸🙏🌈
Just like George did for us...
How are you 🙂
For Jesus, Amen.
The unspoken hero of this performance is the Genius Sound Engineer who perfectly balanced 50 plus musicians together.!
You exactly right
You’re absolutely right
I said the same thing. How pure the sound was with so many
No one understands how difficult that must be
damn, now that you mention it, this recording does sound incredible for a live performance in a big space, and many different instruments and voices.
@@teklife I agree. And even through a headset- I can identify most of unique sounds all coming together! With a perfect balance between Billy’s voice and the magic of the rest.
@@jimscarnivorekitchen4731👍
Billy Preston died a few years after this. Indeed, he is now in heaven with his friend and they are probably singing together. Rest in peace Billy and rest in peace George. You are missed but never forgotten.
The resurrection of the dead has not yet come, they sleep. Furthermore, there are no musical instruments in heaven. We will be like angels of light. Read the Bible and you will know the truth, Jesus!
That's for sure, a lot of rock stars in heaven, excellent Billy Preston and George Harrison was singing with all the stars on Stage, very high class version, this song is a good way to conect yourself with God, to give thanks, George Harrison leave this legacy to humanity
🙏

I have dementia, which amongst other thing makes me very emotional. Tears are streeming down my face as I watch this. What an amazing tribute to a very humble man! RIP George.
I love very much George Harrison for ever.❤
Best wishes to you and all who love you lost mom at 70 years old and music always helped her day
I aint dementiaed yet, and I am crying. It's a great song, a great tribute that involves his son and great artists, and make no mistake about it, it involves Him and His Son, too.
You must be strong. Live each day thinking the good things you have. A kiss in your heart.👍❤

I am an atheist but this still makes me cry.
Think of the song as a hymn to consciousness, which is sourced by something -- and it's not mind-made religion. There's everything in this song for an atheist once you appreciate that.

It’s touching you for a reason. Keep pursuing his love
Essa música e esses músicos nos levam a um mundo que não existe mais❤❤❤
@@mattmellinger3990 I assume you realise this song is about Krishna not Jesus! But thanks for the recommendation. (British sarcasm unless you didn't realise)
Billy Preston was born to sing this song. He absolutely killed this vocal.
Omg yes !
Amen brother! ❤🙏
Billy Preston gave his personal touch :) now in heaven is singing this along with George :)
Billy was the "5th Beatle"...played behind the scenes on some great Beatle songs! RIP Billy!
@@SM-xo3dv no kidding LOL
Billy struggled with addiction and battled demons his entire life and yet he was capable of giving us such beautiful music. It’s hard to believe he’s been gone for fifteen years. Rest In Peace, Billy
Amen Brother! The same for the Divinely gifted Sir Eric. The Great Spirits greatest work has always shown through in those who suffered the most in this life, or the next...
Life has taught me that the brighter the sun, the darker the shadow. And Billy shone brightly. May he Rest in Peace.
@Jay Sharp finish that story please?
That seems to be the downside to having so much talent and insight into creativity and the arts
@@wolfie316781 Exactly (see my reply above)!
This is a gospel song in my book , i dont care what anyone says
not a christian one
@@wassabii2810 actually it is, George always believed that all religions were a path to God. And, at the end of his life he actually accepted Jesus as his Lord and Savior about a year before his passing. He then dedicated the song to Jesus as a heartfelt dedication to the end of his spiritual journey. As Christians, always remember that we must be like Jesus and love everyone and everything as they are, even if they don’t coincide with our beliefs. ❤
George was supposedly inspired to write this song after hearing "Oh Happy Day".
😮
@@BearOfTheBeach
Have you listened to the ending of this song??😂😂
Billy Preston nailed this, this is absolutely a worship song
The amazing Billy Preston. What a voice! When you have Ringo Starr, Paul McCartney, and Eric Clapton, and Dhani Harrison backing you up, you KNOW you've come home!
And the incomparable Jeff Lynne. Star-studded genius.
I hope Dhani, when he was on stage, respected the legends he was playing alongside, because assuming that place with them is the greatest of honors, just as they honored Dhani by having him stand amongst them. He will never be his father, but he earned his place representing him.

Tempi da ricordare!
Can you imagine what it would feel like to be present when this heavenly thing was unfolding?! My Sweet Lord!
Sorry if I seem dumb . But is Mr Preston singing that it takes too long to see the Lord until we Die?
@@blt981 I think so! It's really interesting because that isn't something that **I** have understood from previous recordings and on the album but it's easily read in the lyrics so I don't know why I hadn't noticed!

At least you can purchase the entire concert for George on a DVD box set. It has some incredible performances.
anyone else barely scraping by in life... just living on a prayer?
My Sweet Lord, please help me. Please Lord, I have had enough...
Please, bring me something good.
Nobody understands me.
I miss my homeboy, he died 21 May 2011, I just miss him so much.
He has died, but you haven't lost him because he lives forever in your heart and mind. Close your eyes, and you will see him. Open your heart, and you will hear him..He is with you always.
Oh yes, Prayer is a conversation i have to have all the time, so many bad stuff telling me to do bad stuff, but jesus told me to ignore those voices and be kind to myself, Prayers to you
ORAR é ter o prazer de conversar com Deus 🙏😇
Converse com o Pai, Ele é vivo, é real. Ele te escuta e te compreende e quer poder te ajudar, mas isso, só se você permitir e buscar por Ele.
Amen!!!
Yes, I have experienced such loss. The grief goes, then a memory comes back. But I know somehow we shall meet again. I can't explain it in words, however an intuitive spirit tells me so.
An illustration of how powerful a songwriter George Harrison was. He was in a band with the two greatest songwriters in history. George shone very brightly in his solo career. His light will shine on forever.
The light that has lightned the world, my friend...
There ain't no dark 'til something shines, I'm bound to leave this world behind..." - Townes Van Zandt
As The Beatles did their last ever record in the studio, "Abbey Road", Harrison wrote "Something" and "Here Comes The Sun". Both John and Paul gave high praise to their band mate. McCartney said, "George now writes songs that are at least as good as John's and mine". Lennon said "Something" is the best song on the album. They must have realized that as they all got more mature into their mid and late 20s, George was in a bit of a tough spot since John and Paul had been the ones who had written most all their songs from the beginning and were such good song writers.
Harrison was 3 years younger than John and a year and a half younger than Paul. when they started John was 16, Paul was 14 almost 15. George was only 13 at that time. When you are that young, 1 or 2, and especially 3 grades older kinda makes a big difference when you are in your middle school and high school years. That is where the dynamic of the band began.
@@nycinstyle Lennon was a wife-beater and was also criminally overrated, as was his horrendous sounding wife. The truth in the matter is that Harrison never needed The Beatles...
@@davidlindley2754 Harrison I am positive was extremely happy that he was a part of The Beatles, and he would disagree with your comment calling Lennon overrated. Obviously, Harrison didn't need Lennon and McCartney to be a great musician/singer/songwriter, none of them needed each other. All of them duh of course were very happy they were together and members of The Beatles.
Ah, dear Billy... something in the way he sings. This hits me like no other cover.
A C A Bb B C
What a vocal !!
I'm not crying; you're crying.
There are underrated comments and then there are underrated comments!
I see what you did there
I met Billy when he came in to “Nicky Blair’s” on Sunset Blvd. I played there for years. Billy sat right in front of me, 1st table, we talked the whole time he was there, all evening, during my gig. I play a single gig, keyboard with a grand piano with a synth on top for my left hand bass. He asked about the combination of sounds I was using for my bass. I told him I was stacking 3 sounds, Rhodes, B3, and acoustic bass. He really liked the fullness, it was smooth with a little Rhodes chime. He asked if “He” could use it??? Wow, YES!!! It was a great compliment from one of the Greatest!!!
What a fantastis time to remember, I wish I could come to your concerts 😊 Best wishes
My father died of Leukemia in 2016. I miss him so much I wish I would have spent more time with him.
I didn't know who I had until he was gone. I play this song over his grave with flowing tears as I can't wait to see him again.
When you watch the Get Back docs you realize just how key Billy Preston was to bringing that session together. He was the glue. So great
His nickname was the 5th Beetle for a reason. 🤗
Rene Feliz Navidad" czcams.com/video/MwsEfec2j_M/video.html
He was one of my favorite parts. George was seemingly one of his biggest fans at the time.
True!
Always had a smile on his face.
Billy's not just singing it, he's feeling it..
Agree
There was always something so beautiful about Billy. George knew how to pick his friends.
Nossa. Lembrancas. Doe na alma
Yes sir! My sweet sweet lord.
Songs a bit repetitive, I’m so glad it’s in guardians. On,y reason why I’m here lol
STARLORDDDDD❤
Thanks For Your Music George Harrison 💙
Favorite song of all time. Plan on having this song played at my own funeral.
If they don't play it. I'm not dying.
A master piece by Georges Harrison RIP. What ever is your religion, the spirituality of this song is deeper than the ocean. I'm a muslim and can't have enough of it.
I love your mindful.
That's shirk lol
God be praised
Amen my friend.
Otro fenómeno.
I am not a religious man.
But this brings tears to my eyes.
How on earth you cannot be moved by this song is beyond me .
And the dislikes not worth mentioning
don't need to believe in one god to be sensible, it's in our nature
Don't be religious, be spiritual, that's when you find the divine meaning.
And now Billy is jamming with George and John in heaven. And God, the biggest Beatle fan of all, is enjoying and singing along with them.
@shame fitzsimons - I'm the same! 51 years old, tears streaming. Why is that? Religious? Me? No. Spiritual maybe? Something in this brings out my love for other humans.
Hey man, don't gotta be religious to believe in god. There is something much greater than us and there are people out there that can show it to us
They say George Harrison infringed on the Shirelles’ “He So Fine”. Well, the public worldwide loved it. “My Sweet Lord” was the biggest selling song in America in 1970 - topping charts internationally! Song Of The Year at the 1971 Grammy Awards. Finally, l want to see the Lord, one day! Enough said…
Still here, thank God almighty.
This was when i was a kid, thankful to have lived through the greatest music ever.
My mother was in the kitchen. She always had the radio playing. We lived on a farm Michigan. I think it was January of 1964, and I was 16. She told me to come listen to the radio. It was the Beatles singing the song, 'I Want to Hold Your Hand'. I have been a Beatles fan ever since. I own many records and albums. God rest his soul.
Please also listen to cover Live Sensational One of the Best by Federico Perlingieri and sung by Trevor Jackson... This is good too....

@@johnp515 well she said she was a Beatles fan. This song the best and this version the best, both in my opinion. Wanted to share with people who might appreciate it............

My word I miss George.

Still a great song 🎵 in 2024 and counting
Forever and always ❤!
Watching this in 2020, during a pandemic, & finding comfort. The amount of talent on that stage, all for George. Amazing, and great song
Awsame
This song lifts my heart from the first time I heard it, and it comforts me every time. Stay safe everybody, and God Bless!
Wash your hands 😀
Haha me too. My father sent this to me this morn. He's a big Clapton fan from back in the day- I'm 30 and my first concert was Clapton; I just got into Preston and he sent me this cause he's quarantined and bored out of his mind. So very nice.
MrTenyearsafter07 that’s awesome 👍🏻 and I would love to see Clapton live, so you’re lucky! It’s crazy how we discover or rediscover the best music in times like this
Billy Preston wasn't just going through the motions... he really enjoyed singing that. Great version!
Yes indeed!!! I'm speechless. The tears are flowing
THE BEST TO BEST,O FIVE BEATLE
Yes Mike....he is singing this from his heart... nkt just a song but about the lord... and very very sweet and the lord
Billy was an absolute Beatle. They were like children around him when recording as he was such an accomplished musician when he worked with them all those years ago. God bless him
@Mike G -- There is a reason beyond just the greatness of the song: George actually wrote -- and gave away - "My Sweet Lord" to Billy Preston in 1970, who put out his own much more Gospel style version as a single that year. And yet... Billy, Eric Clapton, Ringo, Gary Wright and others ended up playing on Harrison's release of the song that same year.
Meaning Preston was involved from the very beginning. He also worked with the Beatles off and on for years, as well as the Rolling Stones and others. A versatile, much loved artist. So he deserved to enjoy this last tribute to his friend George.
I agree with you grew up with all his music 79 yrs old still love his music
Hopefully some kids from gen z will be able to understand and appreciate an absolute masterpiece like this ♥️
I'm from gen z, and I freaking love this song, as well as the beatles and george (he's always been my favourite beatle) Preston's voice on this cover is amazing, rip to both george and billy ❤🕊
The love of my life died from cancer this month and I keep coming back to this song over and over.Thank you Billy and George.
I'm so sorry for your loss. Your partner is with Our Lord now. God Bless💗🙏
So sad for your loss
Sorry for loss.
Sooner or later you'll both be reunited under the grace of God 🙏
I’m so sorry for your loss! The incredible grief you must be feeling.
Billy really poured all his talent, heart and soul into this rendition of George's song, in order to pay tribute to his friend. RIP to both.
Maravilhoso e quanta saudade dessa época que jamais teremos igual!!!
Not George’s song, Ronnie Mack’s song He’s So Fine.
Show sempre!

Love this! How can you not be happy listening to Billy Preston singing this. I'm certain they are now singing together. God bless them.❤️❤️
George was the most soulfully touched Beatle. Spiritual, sensitive and found. RIP
This Song makes me happy in 2024. I feel iam not alone😊
No, you're not.
What he said
Never alone 🙏
Billy Preston’s rendition shows how a singer can take s song and elevate to such a higher level. Billy is amazing
was amazing
And he sang it well because he’s a believer
Loved Billy, so sad that he’s gone. Hope he’s found peace.
Brilliant.
I love his version, but prefer the slightly more understated original.
No disrespect to George, but Billy Preston's voice reaches right into my soul like a voice from heaven...
I bet George would agree with you!

That was an all star tribute. George’s Son looks just like him, Paul, Ringo, and Eric Clapton was great! In the beginning , they used to call Billy the 5th Beetle because with his talent and friendship, he blended right in. Loved the song.
Jeff Lynne !
I loved the way Ravi Shankar called Dhani his grandson... So special
thought they called George Martin the 5th Beatle.. Billy Preston is the 6th Beatle then
If you don't count Pete,, Actually he's the 5th Beatle. Jeff Lynne 6th.
Jeff's better than all of em together. He n Georgie playing banjos is priceless.
Murray the K from WINS in NYC was the first Fifth (not in the band) Beatle. He went on the 1964 US tour and mentioned being the fifth beatle constantly . Not sure if he was the emcee but wouldn't be surprised. First time I ever heard the term.
Thank you, George Harrison, for this beautiful song and thank you to Your son and Billy Preston, Eric Clapton, Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr and the many other wonderful musicians and singers that paid tribute to you this way. Absolutely stunning.
Dhani Harrison* 🎉
Ciao bella signora,saluti da Treste,Italia.
Seeing such a beautiful tribute to George's legacy is heartwarming. He indeed left a lasting impact on the music world. 🙏

I believe I also saw Brian Johnson from AC/DC in there too.
Dear @guitar ..... I did have tears in my eyes ..... where do the years go ..... (I'm 79) and just loving this dancing around my condo .... thanks ... just so greatly wonderful !!
Billy Preston and the whole gang of musicians and back-up singers are amazing in this live rendition of the song. Probably that's needless for me to say, given the 137+ million views at the moment. But this is really fabulous! Superb!
Words cannot describe the talent of Billy Preston.
Adoro esta musica
I cannot quite put my finger on why this version's better than Harrison's original (which is great needless to say)
Indeed. He defines soul.
That’s god damn right. Billy Preston was exceptional.
A real George friend.

@@yagesh287 Billy Preston wasn't an actual Beatle, but played with them, and other artists, often. Billy was an R&B/funk/gospel artist of the 1960s and 1970s. He had some great songs, and backed many of the artists of the day. "Nothing From Nothing" is one of my favorites. Look it up. 😁
Wasn’t that Eric Clapton too?
I’ve listened to this video 1000 times, I STILL GET GOOSEBUMPS!!
A lot of awesome talent in this video!!!
Me too.. Billy really belts them out
I listen to this song at least once a month for years now. It makes my heart sad to know so many have gone now, but overall it is such an inspiring song. Miss the Beatles...
Me tooooo
Same
This version reaches you because you feel that spiritual connection that George had with his beliefs, if it were not for the parts singing the Haré Krishna, it could pass as a religious song
Billy just radiates with Love here as he did every time he preformed! Makes me sad that I never got to see him Live, loved All his music since I was 10 years old!!
To have inspired many of those amazing musicians on stage and have them perform with joy together - truly amazing !
As much as I love George Harrison performing this himself, Billy Preston's version brings me to tears! George left us 19 years ago today! He's up there singing with Billy!

Billy is iconic. His contribution to the Beatles is severely underrated. He is one of the greats
@@midnightowl401 really?
Ricardo Hernandez whaaaat
It’s true but lit like a lot of victims billy was one himself. Sexualy abused as a child. Who knows what torment these people suffer. It’s like a cycle of abuse. Remember billy for being a great musician. Perhaps his failings were not his fault.
I remember Billy being in the 2nd version of the Sergeant Pepper movie. I really love this song, though. George Harrison and Billy, amazing musicians. I know about Billy and the abuse etc. That's a big batch of imperfect! But it's also a sickness and him being abused is not his fault. People do what they know, even if, logically, they know it's wrong. I read he was honestly remorseful. There are sicknesses that aren't likely to be curbed with any treatment but imprisonment. It's horrible. However, I choose to look at the good he did in his life. He was an amazing musician and with this gift he did good in the world. He made people happy and made others want to be worthy of life. Yes, he did terrible things, but the man is gone from this world. I am not excusing anything he did, but only saying we can look upon the good as a bit of repayment for the pain he caused.
@@awarenessvillage yes best to forgive if possible
Billy's voice in this performance is the most soft and wonderful voice I've heard in a very long time. George must be sitting up there in heaven crying tears of joy.
George is with our Lord Jesus Christ now. Praise the Lord!

There’s something about how Billy sings that song. It just hits right.
True too that__He starts off the song like he is singing in a church
Yes. Maybe soul
you mean with soul and hearth
Who needs drink and drugs to get high when songs like this can do it for you. Great song sung great.
100% agree !! R.I.P. Billy Preston.
I've never heard Billy Preston singing. I am impressed by his vocals.
Same here.
And his best and classic and epic 'I wrote a simple song"
Billy did the original recording of this a few months before George recorded it. I didn't like Billy's first recording but this one is brilliant only bettered by George's.
Check out the Beatles get back.
He died in 2006, when was this concert?
Beautiful song and how true. Life is fragile and loosing my husband seven years ago reaffirms, that we need to tell our love one how much we love them while they are alive. I miss him so much after 52 years together❤️🙏
This is the best version of this song ever performed, hands down.

100%, but it’s too bad the video didn’t once focus on the slide guitar solos. That was a poor choice.
Eric Clapton, Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr, Jeff Lynne, Albert Lee, Billy Preston. Wow.
What a collection of pure geniuses ! MAGICAL.
Yeah, what a band!
And dhani

The entire ensemble for all the songs played for the 2002 Concert for George is truly mind-blowing and with all those icons up on the stage - the music is at another level. It's very rare that live performances trump the official versions, but this concert is an exception. Never tire of listening.
Precious beyond measure!! Most beautiful song. Get your testimony now, hes on his way.
George Is not dead, he Is in the stage playing the guitar... But more young.
Dhani HarriSON
actually that's what Paul said at the show. "Somehow we all managed to get old but George stayed young"!
É verdade !!!
Dhany no DNA test needed. My sweet George. 💏 Billy 💕
😭😭😭
Billy Preston just turned "My Sweet Lord" into a Gospel song. This man had 'the spirit' flowing through him as he sang. ❤
My sweet lord thanksgiving 🙏🙏🙏🙏
No, he did not !
The LORD JESUS CHRIST is not Hare Krishna.... and all the other false gods!
Listen to the backing singers .... what are saying, Hare Rana, Hare Krishna, Guru Vishnu, guru devo, parabahma, guru nahama etc. These are all names of false gods.
Cannot and will never be The Gospel... the Gospel is about the LORD JESUS CHRIST. Sounds good but not good.
@@pantonpam8024 damn, you misunderstood what's the comment about. also let people believe what they want to believe.
I’m an atheist but I’m a big fan of the song, studying religions to understand them and have nothing wrong with religion since they’re amazing charitable organizations. I just don’t like it when others push their religious beliefs onto others and are inconsiderate to other beliefs.
hare krishna!
They are all amazing musician in this event but in fairness Billy Priston is the lead singer
Great song makes me feel my lord. Our Lord raised from the dead this Easter Sunday. Love our sweet Lord Jesus Christ ✝️
The 5th Beatle. Billy was an amazing musician. Thank you for your music, George. An amazing tribute.
Definitely, Billy was fabulous! 😅
I love his song “Will it Go Round in Circles”
One could argue Clapton as a "5'th Beatle" (see "While My Guitar Gently Weeps"), though Billy actually got credited for some of his work.
George Martin is already considered the 5th Beatle.
Just great
+ Clapton 😊
This song brings pure joy to one's heart. ... And Billy Preston's voice is an amazing instrument of deliverance.

Say what you like about the tune and all, the lyrics are the perfect expression of the love and frustration that make up the spiritual path.
I don't know a person in this world that didn't know that song I love it still to this day
poor Billy struggled his whole life with being gay.....he had such a horrible ending towards the end of his life...
This is such a joyous rendition!
RIP billy preston, john lennon, and george harrison
Didn't expect what we got🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽♥️ Mahalo for the happy memories. It'll go round in circles. God bless, Mr Preston☺️
2 months later.. I'm back.. and still cannot stop crying🙏🏽
Bill is singing for his fallen mate. He and George were best buds. RIP Bill & George. I do hope you two found each other again.
Let the party restart! Your so right!
Of course they're together again & see each other all the time just like on Earth !! 😍
George Harrison is a great personality.
He is very spiritual, not 'fallen'.
I am against this Vaishnav Aparadh.
Hare Krishna 🙏
Well said.

Buddha, Krishna, Jesus Muhammad, with all our magnificent musicians entertaining them in Paradise !! 🤗🙂
I just want to note how Mr. Preston got everyone up on their feet here. He absolutely preached this song. I hope that George was somewhere he could see this, because I expect he would have loved it.
George saw it, he is in a better place now.
God probably said , Hay George come and have a look at this down there,
@@newton18311 or the devil could have said.. Hey George come and look up n see what these folks r doing. Paying amuge to me e Harikrishna.
@@MM-ku2jt Krishna was the pre-incarnate Christ. Preston was probably aware this as a devout Christian.
He let the audience know that this is a moment. It took them a while but they figured it out because he waited for them. Good observation, I wish I was there!
March 26th, 2024, I just love him, ❤️ I listen to him all day long, ❤️ I am so sorry he has left us watching from beautiful Barbados. 🇧🇧

It never gets old. ALL the greats on one stage ❤❤❤
A recording of the entire concert should be kept in a safe place so that the day there are no more humans on earth, whoever finds it can think despite everything, there were beauty and love and moments worth living.
So well said. I agree.
Very nice thing to say..thank you
Nailed it,there seems so much unnecessary division out there, music seems the one unifying factor.😊
Falou tudo!!
I AGREE WITH YOU 💯% ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️😎
Can't get over this live version. Billy just elevated the song to a whole new level, like that was even possible??
EXACTLY!!!!!!!!! MY BUTTERFIIES HAVE BUTTERFLIES AND SO ON AND SO ON..
He's got the confidence and voice of a preacher
Simply perfect
I have listened to this song so many times in the last 2 days and it's not enough. Absolutely phenomenal
Let's not get over excited
Billy Preston did a version
As far as I'm concerned the best was George on his own
Just love this, god has blessed humanity, keep looking and listening❤
Ohhh my dear heart ❤ dearest George Harrison, we all love you so very much.
- Steph at New South Wales, Australia
Ohhh wow, how amazingly beautiful & heart felt to this day!🙏❤️💝❤️💝
that is how you honor someone. if you’re not gonna put your heart and soul into like Billy then don’t even attempt it. Perfection
Hallelujah!
I'll second that
Lovely comment
He sounds beautiful too
such a shame they're all slowly leaving us. (as i knock on wood).
Billy Preston recorded this song right when George Harrison wrote it and it was not successful, and at the end of his life, he gave voice to this spectacular version. Justice was done!
It's a beautiful singer, the best of my time, thanck you Rachid, forever, pour toujours!!!!!!!

Biły it is another person, another Voice, singed in another time within another singers … normal development in Art
Verdadeira Constelação presente neste magnífico vídeo.
billy preston, the 5th beatle!
Amazing song written by former Beatles George Harrison nd sung by Billy Preston. Rest n Peace George nd Billy n d arms of the Lord.
The backup singers harmonizing is just wonderful.
What can we say about tremendous ly vocals
AMEN ✝️🙏👑❤️❤️❤️❤️ 9-7-2023

Beautiful
I was just thinking those girls are on it…. Perfect
The amount of talent on that stage is mind blowing. Clapton managed to organize this show exactly one year to the day George passed. He really worked his tail off to accomplish that. This ranks as one as the greatest concerts ever. Well done Eric!!!
Totally agree. I love coming back to this every so often. Exceptional musicians ,what great music too.
Totally agree, a show of enormous category, it is really exciting to see these unique musical talents in the tribute to George Harrison and precisely with this song, which I have personally loved from the moment I heard it for the first time. It brings back so many memories of my youth. Greetings from Argentina.
Clapton, and McCartney, also don't feel the need to be the center of attention during the show. They let the music speak for itself.
Probably guilty about getting Patti Hanson away from George. (What the song “Layla” is about).
@@kirbyatkins4862 no.
Absolutely no words...this son makes a person reflect on his own life and more ..
It took 50 years to give Billy Preston is due... anyone that knows the Beatles knows that that man was the fifth Beatle...
I remember listening to Billy on AM radio.
I be 66.
I used to hear these songs when i was in college. Today i am 68 and don't know why i have tears in my eyes when i hear these songs .
It just feels so good in your soul!
That's His Holy Spirit , You are emotional because God is in your heart..
Me too..tears in my eyes at 66. We are lucky men to hear this song and many others from all things must pass and concert Bangladesh when we were teenagers
It reminds me of a time before the hope started to fade.
No nada más a ti mi broter
