@@Daniela-pr7rz you are the one saying I am offended. I just asked you what you were smoking. You disagreed with the original comment and so if you can't handle someone disagreeing with you than don't criticize other people's comments. There is no way Paul just playing a ukulele by himself ( no ukulele even in the original recording ) sounds more like the original version than the second part of this performance which has all the original elements in the original song does. What makes the song sound like the original is the bassline, the lead guitar, the harmonies and the drums. I agree with the original comment and am standing up for that comment. Speaking of checking yourself, go get your ears checked. I would be surprised if you are a Beatles' fan. No way the first part sounds more like the original song than the second part where Ringo is playing the original drum part, Clapton is playing the original lead guitar, Paul is singing his original harmony part and someone is playing that incredible bassline you hear in the original recording. You are just wrong. The song is not the song without that bassline and lead guitar in it.

A year after George had died, his family, Eric Clapton, fellow former Beatles, and many many friends and colleagues decided to put on a tribute concert to him. Yes, Paul and Eric are great! But if you take another look you'll find other great legendary musicians on the stage with them, like Ringo on drums, Jeff Lynne (from ELO) also singing and playing guitar, Billy Preston on organ and lots of other musicians George worked with throughout his career. And, yes, this was a song the Beatles recorded; arguably one of the greatest songs George Harrison wrote with the Beatles shortly before they broke up and his owb first number one hit song (usually John Lennon and Paul McCartney wrote the hits for the Beatles)!

Tribute concert for George who had passed away about a yr earlier. Those closest to him performing his songs with his son, Dahni onstage with the best. Many legends here on stage. Here, in this song, Paul starts with just the ukulele - b/c George used to love to break out the ukulele when he had guests over and he and his many musician friends would play ukulele ... :) 20013 is when this video was posted - not when performed. Just another FYI this is a song George wrote for his first wife, Pattie who later left him to marry Eric Clapton, one of his closest friends - George and other Beatles were at the wedding.And another FYI - sorry, but Paul McCartney is pretty old now in 2020 - close to 80 - Ringo (who was playing drums in back) must be 80 by now. They both still tour but Paul has sadly lost his voice. Still puts on a great show.
