George has such an incredibly unique guitar style. His riffs are immediately recognizable. I'm not sure he gets enough credit for that.

When they performed the song at memorial concert for Harrison', you can hear them singing "Nah-nah-nah-Nah-nah-nah-nah!" as the song winds down.

I have been enthralled with this magical album since it came out. This is one of the gems. And that's George Harrison on the very distinctive and wonderful slide guitar.

George Harrison a n° 1

One of his very finest. Fantastic song...fantastic album! Another great one from this LP is ‘Beware of Darkness’

Ringo Starr holds the bottom like nobody else. An unmistakable genius performance.

George Harrison was/is/had everything. His Spirit just sparkled. I am so grateful he walked this planet during a time he could be recorded and filmed. Watching him overwhelms me. Thanks for this, Harri! ❤️‍🔥🇨🇦

Ringo Starr is on drums on this one. 1/2 of The Beatles is better than no Beatles at all.

Good instincts @Harri. George had this beauty ready in 1969. It could have gone on either Abbey Road or Let it Be but was rejected by John, Paul and George M. But George had the last laugh when it went on this incredible solo album instead, which went platinum many times over - with all the credit and royalties his to keep. Truly amazing song!

This song is EVERYTHING.

Such a wonderful song from George. George had written this song 4 years before it was finally produced. Some say it was about The Beatles, some about Patti Boyd, and others just say it's about human beings in general. The orchestral beauty is so captivating. Great reaction Harri. Thanks Harri and JKClare for a sensational song by George. Cheers from Canada 🇨🇦

Isn't a pity was written in 1966, long before Hey Jude.

The great Eric Clapton said that George was one of the greatest slide guitar players.

Beautiful song by a beautiful man

Honestly contender for my favourite all round Beatles tracks. The layering of it is fantastic, he used more than one drummer. I’m sure it was three but I could be wrong. George man! The fabbest of the four in my opinion. Great videos by the way

George wanted his guitar answering each line of Hey Jude, but Paul did not allow it. Feels like George saying: So Paul, this it what you could have had! I myself cannot decide which Song I Love more. Both are awesome!

Paul McCartney acknowledged that the entire latter half of Hey Jude was one of George's compositions that he just played around with but hadn't used it in a song. George gave the chord progression to Paul as a gift. Happy to be a new subscriber.

My favourite track of all time, Mr Harrisons genius. R.I.P Brother

You should listen to the Concert for George version, sang by Eric Clapton and the late and great Billy Preston.

A really beautiful song with lyrics to ponder upon. Like "While My Guitar Gently Weeps", George notes our weakness in loving our fellow man/woman. Both of these songs always challenged me to check my selfishness and remember to live each day with compassion towards others to the best of my ability. Harri, you're the best. I enjoy watching you enjoy a song. You would exemplify what the hippie movement was at it's best.

Everyone wants to have their own Sgt Pepper's, and George had his with this beautiful album. I have loved it since I heard it for the first time back in 1970. Love you, George.

This song always gave me goosebumps and I cried when they played it on the radio after he passed away. The sentiments are so touching. In my opinion a much better tune than My Sweet Lord.

I've always thought George Harrison's solo work sounded more like the Beatles than any of the others, even John Lennon.

A bigger response if it had been on a Beatles album? I don't know about that. This album was #1 for a long time. And really established George as a solo artist.

The guitar was played by Eric Clapton, it´s amazing.

The Beatles did a run-through of this on Jan 26th, 1969, during the Get Back Sessions. Apparently, according to Beatles' expert Mark Lewisohn, George had this for the Revolver sessions in '66.

Finally a reactor who has done this beautiful song. Such a sentiment with the thoughtful lyrics and tasteful music. My favorite of his and that says a lot.

Hermosa cancion❤

Love the barely perceptible vocals in the background in the last half; they become more pronounced toward the very end. Fills out the structure of the song in a strong yet melodic manner.

You are correct. Harrison wrote the song in 66, but it was rejected by the others.

My favorite Harrison song! Words so true! Loved the man!

This whole album is so good.

This album went 6 times platinum so it was a very successful album.

This actually WAS half of the Beatles. That's Ringo on the drums.

George didn't always get the same amount of credit as Paul McCartney or John Lennon when he was with the Beatles, but George was just as talented a musician and this song is proof of that!

What a great song. George always has clever and meaningful lyrics.

I feel his brokenness…😢

So many great songs on "All Things Must Pass" but this one was so good they did two versions lol

With beautiful Ringo on drums of course its a Beatles Harrison song a giant of a song ... I'd say The Beatles last gem!

I'm a george girl who would love for more of his songs to get reactions especially from fans like you! crackerbox palace is an amazing and underated George song.

George wrote this back in 1966. It was during the time of the Revolver album.

"Hear Me Lord", the closing track from ATMP, is stunning. My fave on the album.

Na na na ..na na na ..isn't it a Pity! ..it's George winking at the break up. Brilliant!...I be noticed you've reacted to the concert for George..please react to this song..Eric Clapton and Billy Preston take the lead..Dahni Harrison and Jeff Lynne provide the rhyhm guitars.. three drummers..Anton Fig, Max Weinberg from E Street and and Ringo..Paul McCartney on piano...the Hey Jude part comes out at end and one of Clapton's best solos ever!

Maybe John and Paul did George a favor rejecting fabulous songs like this on Beatles' albums because it set the stage for George to release the best post Beatles album, All Things Must Pass. George was always an afterthought as a songwriter with the Beatles, but he created some of their greatest masterpieces.

That is one great song. I always loved it. I played it to death when it came out. It was almost exactly like 'Hey Jude" melody wise at the end but that's okay. I'm sure Paul and John didn't care. Always liked George's guitar playing. Kind of soothing. The song puts you in a trance. 🙂

I think this is his best song

This is such a great song. Good choice and great reaction Harri.

This would've been a Beatles song if they had stayed together. In the Anthology series you can hear them working on the song in those last days. I've been a fan of The Beatles my whole life. I was 8 in 1964 when they came to America, and 15 when they broke up.

🥰🥰🥰 Such a beautiful song... Great reaction! Try "Someplace Else" 😉 ¡Saludos, desde Argentina!

Check out All things must pass. One of the most beautiful and peaceful songs you could listen to The album all things must pass is more or less the songs George had brewing near the End of the Beatles.

Thank you, thank you , thank you!!!!! Where did you find such a gem? Simply amazing both for the music and for the lyrics.

Whole album is a masterpiece.

Thank you for this beatiful reading of this beatiful song.

Such a beautiful song! I actually learned to play this on the guitar. It was one of a handful of songs that was slow enough for my terrible chord changing skills 😂. I love the unique sound of Harrison’s guitar. Great request J. K. 🌺✌️

This three album set was mostly songs that Paul vetoed being on Beatles albums. This song was written in 1966 and soundly rejected ... Eventually it was co produced by Phil Spector on the All Things Must Pass three album box set. It was during the time Spector was producing the Beatles Let It Be album,(they had already broken up) from unused , unpublished Beatle masters..

This was on George's solo album which was the first post-Beatles album any of them released. He had years' worth of material because Lennon and McCartney usually limited George to one song per album. So he released this triple-LP album and blew everyone away with how much his talent had been suppressed by his being a great songwriter competing against TWO great songwriters.

My favorit harrison song great music

My favorite Harrison song

Harrison wrote the song in 1966, but it was rejected for inclusion on releases by the Beatles.

To say that it's one of his best is a compliment that can be applied to every song on this record.

When I first heard this song way back when, it was stuck in my head for weeks. So beautiful.

Not sure if full album reviews are in your future Harri but the classic live Concert for Bangladesh would really leave its mark on your consiousness. Any track off it with all the guest stars is brilliant. Landmark benifit concert by Mr. Harrison set the tone for many others that followed.

Great selection and reaction. Kudos to both of you! I can't believe that this had not been posted before since it is a Harrison classic. This came out as a double album, if I recall correctly. Excellent writing and performance by George. 👋

Another song to rock muse number one - Pattie Boyd. Harrisons Something and Isn't it a pity. Claptons Layla, Bell Bottom Blues, Beautiful Tonight and maybe more -

He does all the back up vocal harmonies...all George.

George is my favorite Beatle

This album is a treasure.

For a completely different, fun side to George give a listen to "It's Johnny's Birthday".

Harri, thank you I love this. Ringo is on drums I believe. It is gorgeous. You ok guy? Happy to see your channel doing so very well.

Nina Simone liked this too and did a very beautiful job of covering this song

George Harrison was a gem

The melody/chord progression was made back in 1966, two years before Hey Jude (only the na na na na's at the end is inspired by/stolen from that song).

Up next should be "Blow Away" by George Harrison!!

@HarriBest Reactions - all the musicians/singers on this track alone are : (Wiki entry) An anthemic ballad and one of Harrison's most celebrated compositions, "Isn't It a Pity" has been described as the emotional and musical centrepiece of All Things Must Pass[1] and "a poignant reflection on The Beatles' coarse ending".[2] Co-produced by Phil Spector, the recording employs multiple keyboard players, rhythm guitarists and percussionists, as well as orchestral and choral arrangements by John Barham. The track also serves as a showcase for Harrison's slide guitar playing, a technique he introduced with All Things Must Pass. In its long fadeout, the song references the closing refrain of the Beatles' 1968 hit "Hey Jude". Other musicians on the recording include Ringo Starr, Billy Preston, Gary Wright and the band Badfinger, while the reprise version features Eric Clapton on lead guitar.

I had two George Harrison singles when I was in grammar school. This was the B side of one of them.

Harry, please listen to Billy Preston sing this song in "The Concert for George". Fabulous!

Not suprisingly, that is Ringo on the drums on this one.

Its Ringo! 💙

Love those mournful Hey Jude "La La La's" during the fade out.

My favorite solo George song. George wrote it in ‘66, but it was rejected for Beatles album.

Let us give due avowal to the WALL OF SOUND !

All right what a great reaction my man I listen you know it's funny this one reminds me of another song it was on the last cream album I think it was called what a bring down and being that Eric and George were really close there might have been something about the fact that you know there's a song called isn't it a pity after the breakup of The Beatles and then cream broke up and here's the song called what a bring down but it's pretty as well all right super ultra dude I'll check you on the next drop

One last thing, I'll take this over Hey Jude anyday of the week.

If we’re gonna do this album, Dark Horse is a must. Hope you pick a song that a FEMALE suggests to you!!! ♥️♥️♥️♥️

It wasn't rejected. The group broke up before it came to fruition.

Love, love this ❤️❤️❤️ Very long time since I heard this 👍🥰😇❤️

Nina Simone as she covered many songs made this song her own. If you haven't heard hers you really haven't heard the true love of these lyrics.

Check out the Billy Preston version on the convert for George Also!

Although John Lennon and Paul McCartney have wonderful voices, George Harrison’s voice was my favorite. I’ve heard the saying that John sang to your head, Paul sang to your heart, and that George sang to your soul. I tend to agree with that. Oh God I miss George.

I wonder if George contributed the na na na naa part of Hey Jude to Paul and then decided to steal it back for this song? Or maybe Paul just took it from George without asking?

I hate people saying reactors should listen to this or that alternative version of a song. Shaddup and do you own reactions!

❤️🇮🇹🤘

You have the picture of the record "ALL things must pass " where these songs are. Imagine "My sweet Lord "" Isn't it a petty" and others on a Beatles record. After Abbey Road "something" & "Here comes the Sun ". How would Paul McCartney do the bass guitar? And John & Ringo? With the Master Sir George Martin incharge of production ☯️✌take care

This song is a thousand times better than Hey Jude

The Beatles supposed to make this album but John and Paul even as great they become individually never admitted that George was on the rise and he made the best post split album .I still listen to it is been more then 45 year's i got copy of this album..

OMG As a fellow Scouser this is probably the best song by any Beatle. Respect. ❤️

I think this song is about Patti.

If you have a chance listen to Nina Simone's cover. It will send chills down your spine.

Hinder- What ya gonna do

This is such a great song of George’s! I can see why you’d compare it to Let it Be. By the way, I remember how you reacted to his song My Sweet Lord. He made a remake of it for the 30th anniversary reissue in 2000, one year before he passed away. It hits differently than the original version did, and I would love to see how you feel about heading it in comparison to the original. This is the remake George did of My Sweet Lord in the year 2000: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hLCeq5ucvciUhaM.html
