Oh I was surprised that Jesse didn't do the jam, since he listened to Unfinished Music.

McCartney was once in a lifetime Genius comparable to the greatest in musical history, but still George Harrison was the most tasteful among all the beatles and was the best improved musician among Beatles till end.!

It would have been epic.

I think the Beatles' performance are too sloppy to match the ATMP version. And Ringo played on both btw.

@@bobwoolerOriGinal Well, they never did get it up to recording standards. I'm sure if they had, it would have been better. Speculation, sure, but the demoes showed promise.

What the heck does ‘subconscious plagiarism even mean? If it’s subconscious then you wouldn’t be aware of what you had done, right? A lot of nonsense. People who bleat about that try so hard to diminish George’s many accomplishments. The judge who made this ruling demoralized George and made him extremely tentative about writing after that. According to his first wife, he wouldn’t even allow the radio to be played in their house afterwards for fear that he “might” unknowingly copy from another song. (Listen to “This Song” which is a parody of this whole ridiculous ruling).

@@hmm3484 exactly. Music is for everyone. It’s like copyrighting music theory or the aeolian cadence. I once read classical composers would regularly transpose other composers’ music for alternate instruments. Like transposing a piano concerto for violin or some other instrument. Imitation being the highest form of flattery.

@@beatmet2355 True. You can't copyright chord progressions or any of the fundamentals of music. Paul used to worry about getting in trouble for "stealing" basslines from old rock standards in the early days, but no one cared even when he told the press, so it taught him what was copyrightable and what wasn't, which is why The Beatles didn't habitually get sued. A good Beatles example of what you describe -- re. classical composers -- is Lady Madonna. It is a variation on Bad Penny Blues. People listening to it can easily hear the similarity and influence. They say why wasn't Paul sued. Well, he wasn't sued because they weren't actually the "same" at all, they just evoked the same feel and they were both on the piano. But Come Together stole the tune and the first line from a Chuck Berry song and My Sweet Lord also took its entire tune from He's So Fine. That's what gets you in trouble. But listening to these tracks, they sound and feel very different from the songs they seem to copy. So really the opposite of Lady Madonna. Sound the same but are different vs sound different but are the same. Thank god Led Zeppelin won their recent suit, since the basis of that one was an arpeggio sequence using acoustic guitars. Yes, they sounded very similar (though they were not in fact the same) and certainly, it was likely they were exposed to the other song when they toured with that band, which could be argued as intent. But it would have set a very dangerous precedent if you could successfully own something as basic as an arpeggio.

I dont think it is good to compare Harrison with Lennon- McCartney, who were the greatest and once a time Genius But his album was the most realised album post beatles ( with Imagine while Ram was the most innovative post beatles, ) also he was the most tastleful musically and the most improved Beatle musically !

I kind of agree. I love a lot of the songs on All Things Must Pass but I can't listen to the album all the way through, it's just so overproduced. Everything is turned into some kind of sonic mush, it's hard to bear. In terms of George Harrison as a songwriter, I'd say he was more limited than John or Paul, a lot of his songs have the same kind of vibe while the works of John and Paul (especially Paul) are more varied and interesting. Then again, it's kind of unfair to always compare him to his brilliant bandmates.

@@hansmahr8627 i kind of agree that some songs on ATMP are overproduced, especially Wah Wah , which sounds much better in 2020 remix by his son Dhani Harrison. But again , It's all too much by Harrison is one of my favourite Harrison and Beatles underrated song ( love that distortion and overproduced quality which enhances the song). Paul was way more experimental than others but none of his songs in his much bigger discography, effects me in way John and Harrison does ( comparing only post beatles work.) !

If better means , in terms of variety and experiemental then yes. Otherwise , Imagine and Atmp are better fully realised albums.!

It is not.

Ram is interesting from an experimental perspective, but song for song ATMP is the strongest of any of the Beatles’ solo albums.
