- George Harrison watching a performance of The Beatles 'This Boy' credited Lennon/McCartney (released as a B-Side to the 'I Want To Hold Your Hand' single, released on 29 November 1963).
I do not own this video in any way. All credit goes to the 'Living in the Material World' DVD. - Hudba
and then there's us watching george watching the beatles
I wish some can film Paul McCartney watching Harrison watching beatles and show the video to Ringo. #Beatleception
Reaction videos to reaction videos
Wait!! Then who's filming us!?!😱
Where's John watching the wheels then?
@@sterbus79 he was just sitting here a moment ago
'John was as blind as a bat.'
LMFAO!
CooManTunes hahahahah yeh!! the eyes hahaha BTW he's eyes is tired if I think?
They didn't have soft contact lenses in those days.
His eyes were foggy but his mind was clear
have you seriously never heard that phrase before?
Relax, sparky. George Harrison saying that about John Lennon makes it special.
He can't resist singing and trying to harmonize. The boy missed the band way more than he would ever let on.
Totalmente de acuerdo
yea I always felt that too- so sweet :((
id like to think that they all missed being together whether they liked it or not
I mean he did write a whole ass song all about how much he missed being in the Beatles so I feel like he let on a little bit
Ace West what song was it?
I love the fact George started to sing along to his harmonies 🥰
Thanks for still listening to these songs
1Guys we are living in the end times rn
Jesus can return anytime soon. SO PLEASE TURN TO THE LORD
He's waiting and Loves you very much ✝️
He just couldn't help himself 😊 🧡🧡🧡
Lol 😂@@joshy5677
He tries to play it down a little, George does, but he just can't hide the fact that he is cought by the same magic as we are.

I'm just looking at some of the comments from others and yours stood out to me. Beautiful words on behalf of myself and all of us, thanks. You made me smile.
Thank you Melanie. Really kind words. You made me smile too.
Yes, I believe that you're right.
I agree completely.
Iztok Golob ...yeah..he even does a bit of harmony while watching!
His reaction to his former self is just priceless.
Yes no money in the world can buy that
@@RL-ut6dl not even buy love?
@@RL-ut6dl but you never give me your money
Lol it was so cute every time they showed him he cracked up 😂
He was always ahead of his time.
0:29 George's laugh is literally the best and most precious thing ever. At least, for me.
Ever? Okay.
@@v-town1980 yes
Agreed.💜💜❤️
How do you get to decide this? Literally.
Yes just for you
I love that a Beatle - A FREAKING BEATLE - is rather shyly embarrassed by old footage of himself being in the most awesome band in music history when all anyone else sees is the magic.

*HUN*
*DRED*
I know!! Right??!! Now-that’s humbleness that just comes NATURALLY, to George Harrison!! From what I’ve read, his family was a middle class, or might not quite that, down to earth family. And it shows, through George’s actions!!
@@foofookachoo1136 In the UK, being part of the middle class means you're well off. He definitely was of a working class background. I'm a Mediterranean girl but have consumed enough British media to know😅
@@Marina-pe1gxlmao that’s funny. In the US middle class is what we call the working class.
But it’s weird here because middle class is just anybody who isn’t “rich” so it includes basically all workers making from like 30-90k
But in some states like California it’d be like 40-100k probably.
Sorry to ramble. I just think it’s funny how we redefined middle class for no reason in the US
George says, "Good song though..." No kidding. It's a GREAT song. One of Lennon's finest.
And one Lennon's greatest vocals.
hyzercreek he said it to the camera, watching Lennon on screen, like a miss you message to Lennon because that's how John would have said of it or would have liked to hear him speak of it, maybe! :)
God bless John and george going to see Sir paul echo arena liverpool
@@RavichandranJv Lennon was alive though, I think they saw each other every now and then for Apple meetings
This song itself is ok, nothing great. But it's John's vocal and the harmonies that are outstanding
George's smile while he's watching this...PRICELESS.
+Cami Herrera I am melting watching this, so sweet
+Cami Herrera Agreed. You see him laugh at how dorky they looked. George didn't like the hype. He liked his friends and messing around. He knew all the inside jokes and the emotional intensity of those days. Fried nervous system indeed.
Such a cathartic video.
Amen. Seeing him smiling and laughing is, like you say, priceless. Just beautiful.
In the unedited version of this video, George laughs at the point where Paul's eyes are darting around and then he looks at the camera. He was laughing at Paul looking around for the camera. Someone edited it and made it rewind back from Paul to George and then George laughs at himself. No idea why someone would edit it.
George says, "Good song", that's an understatement.
You can't fool us George; you're as amazed at how wonderful The Beatles are as we were then, especially with a song like this. They were a revelation, they changed the world and made it a much, much better place. They were a huge, once in a lifetime positive influence and an incredibly joyful and deeply emotional touchstone to those of us who were lucky to have grown up with them. There will never be anything like it again.
the expression "they changed the world" started when men (mostly youth) started wearing their hair long again after nearly 50 years of getting military style haircuts after WW1 because of the beatles. that's true, although it was other music groups that took it to extremes (length wise) but other than and the way they're stylists dressed them I've never understood what people meant when they say "they changed the world" really? how so? I'd like to know cus I lived thru that period and I've never heard anyone explain what that meant. Can you?
@@spactick How they changed the world? Through their incredible music catalog. They moved millions of people with their music. Since you lived through it, you "may" have heard of Beatlemania. You're obviously not a fan, so maybe you ignored it. Try watching some documentaries. Get caught up. They absorbed everything from Elvis, Buddy Holly, Little Richard, and Chuck Berry etc. in the 50's, and took it to the next level. Rock and roll evolution. Pretty much any famous rock artist from the 60's, 70's, 80's, and 90's will say The Beatles were a huge influence on them.
But yeah...no effect on the world at all.
@@Quarrymen69 Obviously not a fan? actually I saw the 4 chaps at the Cow Palace in 1964, 65 and their very
last 'public' concert at Candlestick Park in 1966. In fact not to pull 'rank' my former friend (he passed away)
Bob McClay (who was a disc jockey at radio station KYA) drove John from the airport to the stadium. No lie,
the concert was delayed because the limo they were in couldn't get into the stadium because of traffic. So I
guess you could say I liked them, but I wasn't some nut case idiot that went out of my mind when they preformed. I liked their music, but I also liked The Beach Boys, Lee Morgan (jazz musician), Bill Evans (jazz
pianist) etc; so about Beatlemania? personally I thought it was embarrassing. I mean come on they're Brits
playing our music and we're going nuts? disgraceful, seriously. As to influence? no question when it comes
to what you were looking at (hair, clothing etc;) they broke the ground, cracked the egg, opened the door to
a whole new visual (and creative) experience while you were watching your entertainers. So I ask you again
Quarrymen what specifically did they do that 'changed the world?' your reply didn't cut it, wanna try again?
I'll patiently wait while I comb the hair on my Beatle doll, just joking :)
👍🇺🇸
@@spactick I would love to tell you ..... because now at 65 I still recall those days as > life changing > If you cannot understand that fact it is because the music simply is not in you. Your lack.... not everyone elses perception.
0:30 saved my life
sofía His little laugh awwwwwww
becca I love it, I can listen to it for ever
D
His laugh 😂
Laugh from a beautiful human being
Imagine watching yourself, and being slightly embarrassed that you sang 'This Boy.' It's like Shakespeare being embarrassed that he wrote 'Romeo and Juliet.'
"This boy" is a cheesy pop song whilst Romeo and Juilet is a theatre classic
@@pocket712 They're both artistic masterpieces.
@@pocket712 cheesy is stones with their childish rebelious pose and out of tune playing/singing. lol.
@@robertwill23 early beatles and stones are both cheesy imo
@@pocket712 nothing cheesy about great memorable melodies and unpredictable chords changes.
This boy: shivers down my spine when John’s voice soars alone and I’ve known ang listened to this song for 50 years.
Agreed. That voice is out of this world: it could communicate such urgency and soul. One of the great voices of 20th century music -- and not trying to sound American either.
Me too
His voice is sheer magnificence.
i wish more artists nowadays sang like john but now the trendy way of singing is almist whisper like 😐
👍🇺🇸
0:31 cured my sadness, seeing him smile and laugh in real happiness just melts my heart, we love you and miss you George.
Guys we are living in the end times rn
Jesus can return anytime soon. SO PLEASE TURN TO THE LORD
He's waiting and Loves you very much ✝️
@@joshy5677did you know that Christianity stole practically everything from hebrews?
@@joshy5677this is a video about the beatles, not church
"I gave that guitar away... Ahhh, that's the one!"
I love that. I know the feeling.
Me too. Mine was a 52 Tele!
he asked for it back, in fact he demanded it back from chris Thomas who had it for over 15 years time at that point. George was a strange guy
@@bedfordsimon8 …. Why did he do that? 😢
You could see a nostalgic look in hus eyes like he was there again beautiful
:,)
George was always beautiful. Even when he was at his last.
George and John are soo missed. Such talented guys.
George couldn't help but start singing it. He liked that song so much.
So if Paul or Ringo have watched Living In The Material World, and they've watched this part, it would be a Beatle watching a Beatle watch a video of the Beatles doing a song by the Beatles
+Maren Denison Yes, but Nothing Is Real. Who said you were driving? I'll get in the back then.
I think my brain just exploded
I thought his sister was Louise.
He had more than one sister
He has one sister and she is named after thier mother Louise there was no second sisterek he had 3 siblings named Louise, Peter and Harry
I cry everytime I watch this. George was such a sweet man.
Brought a tear to my eyes, sure George was tired of being a Beatle but inside he loved it, as time goes bye #RIP George (and John)

It was one of the most beautiful songs written by John Lennon - yet the Beatles consider it ONLY a b-side of a single.
For a song this beautiful to only be a B-side shows the level that the Beatles' songs had.
@@tyrannosauruszeppelin2205 yes their quality and standards are ridiculously high!
Ok, John and Paul wrote it together tho.
I love that he's watching himself, he looks so happy!
George reflecting on “old memories” just about over ten years before. It really shows the rate in which the Beatles progressed, not just musically but as individuals..
People also tend to forget George was only 17 when he joined the Beatles so his identity was influenced the most by the Beatles
More like how the whole culture had changed
Studying George’s face, while watching this? George looks somewhat sad, almost as if he was thinking those early years, were the best? He thought highly of the Beatles, and missed how they used to be like brothers? And no matter how much more success he would have, nothing could ever top what he had done with the Beatles, and he knew it!
@@jmann6130
he entered 14 in what would be the Beatles
@@joemasse4568 Not really, I suppose. It was more a bit of Nostalgia imo.
George wasn't very keen on being a Beatle, he didn't like the huge amount of attention and craziness of the fans, the whole Beatlemania thing was hard for him.
That doesn't mean he disliked being a Beatle, but according to him he was relieved when he could finally do his own things, publish his own songs and not standing inbetween Paul and John.
He was really happy in this stage. Making his own music, spending his time tending his garden, devoting himself more to his beliefs.
So basically, he wasn't sad I think. The Beatles were a crazy ride but it was good that it ended and he always said and believed that.
I'm not crying I just have a George Harrison in my eye
Love how George automatically just starts singing along. Deep down he truly missed The Beatles.
This is precious and priceless. Hearing George laugh and sing along, shows glimpses of his fond memories of the band. I've heard John never thought he had a good singing voice. In this song and so many others we can all hear how gifted he was.
It's so cool that George still remembered his part of the song. Even with all the problems they had during those years, it is obvious George loved being a Beatle. God bless him.
He remembered the words but he was singing Johns lower vocal. George sings the middle voice in the song
@@trusso11783 Excellent ear! I noticed that he sang John's part also!
The Beatles minds were vaults. Watching Get Back they were still able to pull any of their Hamburg and their touring Playlists out and play them.
The fact that so many of you love this video, just as I do, makes me proud to be a Beatlemaniac.
Lawrance Ovarabia you`re an idiot
Thanks but would have loved to have heard the whole song though !:)
You are right Tim...
there's a video off johnlennon (with yoko) whatching a times of cavern film.Lawrance Ovarabia
Lawrance Ovarabia
I thought that was Ringo.
I cannot sufficiently express in words how happy I am that this video exists.
0:30 is gold.
I love it! George laughing at his younger self!! Adorable 🥰
What I find neat is that George tries to hide his glee about that song, but his love for the music, the song, and his fellow BEATLES show true in the gleam in his eyes.
So...someone else sees what I see. Good on ya'. (I think George missed the "Fabs"
being together as a creative band...so much so that he formed up the "Wilburys" to
compensate, knowing w/John's murder that there could never be a reunion. I forget
who he said it to, watching another band on-stage from the sidelines..."It's good to be in a band"....how much he must have missed the other "3", watching another band!)
Gerry Nightingale My comment was in reference to "guntrain68"...to whoever
asked.
Gerry Nightingale es verdad ! el brillo en sus ojos lo delata, cambia totalmente su cara de emocion al ver el primer plano de John... se nota la influencia que el tenia en THE BEATLES creo que George lo respetaba tanto que su tono de de broma cambio al de reconocimiento hacia su amigo. La grandeza de este hombre es simplemente encantadora. Feliz cumpleaños en el cielo con tu dulce señor!
I think George enjoyed being in a group as long as he felt that he was being treated as an equal. That started to stop happening towards the end of the Beatles.
He was so beautiful. Period.
Wise words, bitches love sticks
@@rahimmitha7636 I thought you were talking about George for a second when I read that "bitches loves sticks" line. Then I saw the other person's username 🤣🤣
People who watch this are gifted to see the human George, enjoying his craft,his youth , the fun of a young man and his friends making music, for the world to hear and enjoy.
Deep inside you can see how emotional he is because remember that time when the four of them were together and made those wonderful songs.
if you listen closely you can hear me sobbing
lyn me too DD:
lyn Sorry, can't hear you.
George I hope you realize how magnificent you all were.
0:29 LOL🤣❤️ R.I.P George Harrison wish you were still here😢❤️
Miss and love you, George Harrison.💖😘🦋
Don’t forget John Lennon
Cute reaction from George when he sees himself😄
It's like Michelangelo looking at the Pieta, and saying... "Yes. It's not bad. It's a fairly good attempt."
George was such a beautiful, genuine human being. one of those people that makes you wish you knew him just by seeing him talk
So true!
@ Lenny Henry: Idiotic comment.
@@juerv1 Yeah. I suppose Lenny is a Paragon of social virtue. George was a humanitarian and did so much good in this world. Bless.
Yeah except when he was screwing Ringo’s wife behind his back. But then he got his payback when Clapton did the same to him. So what goes around comes around I guess lol
@@Jalapablo. But never in Time.
OMG the power of nostalgia when you're in the greatest band ever on the face of the Earth. George is so lovely, still singing along, still recollecting
0:18 I love that little hum after "someday"
George's love for his Beatles days was sometimes muted, but it really comes through in this clip. I live up the street from Strawberry Fields in Central Park and sing and play there for every Beatles birthday. George, unfortunately, was born on February 25th, which is often very cold, so I'm often there with only one or two others. November 29 is the date he died, though, and this also is not well-attended. December 8, the date John died, always sees SBF packed with singers and musicians.
If you love George and the Beatles and are in NYC on February 25 or November 29, please come sing with us. If you play, bring a guitar.
Its a shame George's parents were so thoughtless as I am sure if they realised this New Year event would have to be on the 25th Feb they would have created little Georgiein October making the event much better for you in July, 9 months later.
Sadly, some people don't always think and plan ahead....

NOT "New YEAR but New YORK"....Apologies...
dbertke1111 do you still do this? i live in new york and would love to attend for all of their birthdays
+dbertke1111 Going to NYC for my 17th birthday on Nov 27th - Dec 9th, I'll bring my guitar and pop along.

George was my favourite Beatle.
Thomas W yes
me to! he's the best guitar player other than frank zappa :)
Yeah? Tell us more.
nimrodian yup he doesn’t get enough respect. Everyone focuses on Lennon or McCartney but George was an amazing dude
Love and loved George..
I love that George acknowledges that this is great song by John.
Sad loss of one of the best musicians of our time.....
RIP George
RIP John
Great musicians. Great talent.
They're gone but not their music.
I can’t stop replaying the “doo, doo, doo” at 0:20 . Just perfection
This made me cry happy tears. I honestly love this video. I love his laugh when he sees himself. It's the cutest laugh ever.
He can't resist singing along! And laughing. So adorable!
George’s smile was always the best - and there is no way you cannot like this song with those harmonies.
damnnnn, first he invents the selfie. then he fucking invents reaction videos!!! what a god. I always knew he had foresight
That's really cool!
George was going back in time. He was digging the memories.
Yes he is
0:16 you can really see that in his eyes - this reservation that he tried to force on himself isn't fooling anyone, he had many fond memories from that time and we can see it
I can't even imagine the memories that he was flooded with watching that clip.
The first time I heard This Boy I was six years old. It moved me then, and I felt the pain in the song of losing someone.
I am sixty-six now, and the song still touches me.
I think it is my favorite Beatle Song. They were magical.
despite laughing at himself George says "good song"... I agree George and you helped make it a good one...Love this clip
The thing is it's just a b-side, and yet it's one of the most renowned three part harmony the Beatles did on record, and the Lennon leads at the end are among his very best.
felpin : You must remember this: Beatles b-sides were still some of the best music ever recorded.
i cant help but love this man
EASY TO L♡VE.I've have had a crush on GEORGE Since 1964

I like the fact that George liked it even then, saying 'Good song', which it is.

I need somebody!
Maren Denison not just anybody!
Help, you know I need someone!
Helpppp!!
George being delighted by the beatles like everyone else!
All great singers. But John’s voice carried something special and undefinable. It reached into the soul of this listeners.
Years ago, Brian Wilson (Beach Boys) was asked about why John was such an effective vocalist, and he replied "pain...there's pain in his voice". Given Wilson's own tough childhood, and Lennon's, I could see a kindredness there . Some of our best singers and songwriters carried a lot of pain, which helped them achieve higher levels of artistry.
@@kingarthur4ever Wow. That's so true about John's voice. I've always felt a pain and raw vulnerability in his voice that's drawn me to him as a vocalist. It's the kind of thing that really set him apart in the band and it's the reason why he's my favorite singer in the Beatles.
Excellent point King, thanks for Brian Wilson info and comparison
@@kingarthur4ever I have your pain right here. F0ol.
@@JohnRohobothdon't forget to return it to the respective owner, or they think u steal it
I love his laugh. It's so cute :3
That laugh is contagious
0:29 the best moment in this video...
why because of his laugh its so funny:)HAHA aaahhh haha
This video is proof of how much he truly loved being in the Beatles. I know he would always say that it would have been bad to think of the past and the Beatles we then and stayed there, but I think in his heart he truly loved being in the band.
My favorite part is the whole thing 😭😭😭
WELL SAID
John's little face he pulls at 0:43 and George's laugh give me fuzzy feelings.
bruh yes i- YES
For a brief moment you can feel the love and the memories rushing back to him.
Seeing him sing along is just so precious
George played down the Beatles so hard but this video shows how emotional he was watching him/them. We always knew that, George.
_HE LOOKS SO HAPPY MY HEART IS MELTING_
when john goes in... soul crushing
In the recordings of "This Boy" John was saying tHaS bOi instead. John, you're hilarious🤣!!!!!!
His laugh is the most precious thing to have ever existed.
As a beatlemanic from day one I have to inform we loved all of them. People who came later likes to compare them and even classify them. That iwas not the Bealles feeling, though we had our favorites. However we loved the four. We would sing we love the beatles, we love you John, we love you Ringo, we love you George, we love you Paul. Beatles were and stil are an unity. That's whey they are unique. No other band is like that.
I totally agree -- it's funny how in nearly each CZcams video featuring The Beatles, you'll read all the comments about this one was better than that one. But as George Martin said, when you got the four together, there was this inexplicable chemistry that created magic. As for this clip, I love the look of fondness George has as he watches himself and his bandmates from all those years ago. "Good song", he says, amid the laughter.
You are right. I am a Beatlemaniac since 1985. And I love them all. But John is my favorite...
The Beatles were , are and will always be the best. No group till today can be compared to the Fab 4. Their Harmony and their music is awesome.... True Legends.
That's wrong, most Beatle fans- even here in Liverpool before they were famous- would have a favourite.
@@JohnCee754 Yeah!
What an amazing video, I don't know about anyone else seeing it but he was glued to that monitor.You can see the love in his eyes for those guys and that song.None of them did solo what they did in the Beatles.How can you be anything but proud when you watch it? what an amazing band and the impact they had on music is phenominal.
You got it perfectly! He appears to be nostalgic, but then a few times a genuine laughter and smile come out---then look at his eyes. They tell the story.
Bill Wren
i actually think All Things Must Pass surpassed the Beatles because it had a higher message.
Bill Wren Not so sure. John and George particularly had amazing post Beatle records..And then Paul's longevity is quite amazing. Still selling out huge venues on a nightly basis with worldwide
tours every few years, just incredible when you think about it!
I tear up watching George watching himself. I miss John and George. I also love the song.
I developed my singing voice because of the music in our house as a kid and it was 90% beatles.
Now I'm dying for him to say "Brackets!"
this is a great clip of George ...
..Oh..Priceless.! You can see the excitement and pride in his face. Like Ringo said: They were four guys that really loved each other.
I love his laugh
His laugh is music to my ears. God bless George Harrison.
I love the part he starts singing along
Same
His laugh was so beautiful it actually brought tears to my eyes. It sounded the same as it did in the Beatle days.
John: blind as a bat and intelligent as a dolphin!
Great, great, great, great video! I love the way George watches it: very fondly. Then he says, "Good song". Million dollars.
I am beginning to form the impression that you like this Video....:)
George was the sweetest soul. God bless him.
Nice to see George smile at Beatles stuff as usually he's so anti-Beatle.
He just can't stop Beatle-ing
I think he just hated the fact of being so overshadowed by John and Paul. Also he didn't like screaming fans.
He (as well as Lennon) found the adulation the Beatles received a tad too much, thinking they were only a damn good band. My impression is that he respected he wasn't in the same songwriting league as Lennon-McCartney, but rarely received the credit as a mucician that he deserved. That jangle in the back is Harrison and it is the song.
I think he was absolutely on par with Lennon/McCartney's songwriting abilities
Before 'Something' ? No, he wasn't. I admire Harrison very dearly, but before Abbey Road, he was definitely a tier below the other two.
This was great but sad it was cut short!
like his life...like his life
George really showed his love of the group and he had happy memories of them. You can tell by his smile and his eyes, then he even sings along. Rest In Heaven 🙏❤️
Always loved that boy George!!! Nice to see George happy and that smile is beautiful.
Why do we have to get old, how is it that we have to just remember..
Oh we get it's in your head you might as well enjoy it
God Bless George, "The Quiet Beatle ". Rest In Peace, Dear Angel. 🕯
What a beautiful soul.
Rest in peace, George.
Thanks for still listening to these songs
I'm from Argentina, I'm 77 years old, I don't know any English, but when I listen to them, I know that I was born in the right time!!!!
