I am neither fiendish nor much thingy but I have been listening to a lot of George lately. Does anyone know much about who played on This Is Love? Obsessed with that song right now.
I imagine the personnel would look something like this:
George Harrison : guitar, slide guitar, vocals, general fabosity
Jim Keltner: percussion
Jeff Lynne: wizardry
That song is pretty awesome, despite the super-80s production, which I actually don’t mind too much even though I generally can’t stand anything that reeks of the 1980s. And the whole Cloud Nine album does. But I don’t mind because it’s

Offline It’s a great album even for the 80’s production yeah! Its very Lynne too, you can pick his production style a mile away. I was looking for the bassplayer on that song particularly and it seems to have been Lynne himself! And I hadn’t even realized that Elton John played piano on Cloud 9, Devil’s Radio and Wreck of the Hesperus!

Izzat so? Interesting. Yeah, I’ve only heard it on fairly crappy speakers and the bass is more or less inaudible– which is a crime– but the other day I had on Silly Mum’s ear-buds which I’d snitched and I actually got an inkling of bass, it was terrific. Can’t wait to get the album– but it’s going to have to wait till after WTB, LIB , Past Masters , ATMP , 33 & 1/3, George Harrison , Somewhere In England … oh crikey.

Offline The other day I discovered Take Good Care Of My Baby from the Decca audition, and it must be one of the best covers ever. George’s voice is just pure beauty, and that’s probably the reason I like it so much.
And I’m gonna leave the best video ever uploaded to Youtube for everyone to enjoy

Offline Brackets is my favourite swear word. I can’t say it as emphatically as George though, not being born and raised in Liverpool, and having an (alas!) American accent.

Offline Yay! ‘George Harrison Saying Brackets For Five Minutes’ number four in this thread! If I post another one, we will have George Harrison Saying Brackets For Twenty-Five Minutes, All Told’.
Also, sorry about this post— I have such feelings a lot and it really felt good to get them all out. This morning I was reading one of my Beatles books and it said ‘The Beatles remain the world’s favourite band, 40 years after they broke up’– I was fine with this– ’30 years after John Lennon’s death’– I was fine with this– ‘and 10 years after we lost George Harrison’– and I just broke out into a wail of ‘noooooooooo’. Like I didn’t know it before…

George: I dunno– it’s probably ’cause I didn’t smile so much…
My fellow Harrifans, if you haven’t already, set aside half an hour and watch the whole thing. It’s brilliant. LuvyerGeorge

@CheerDown783 That is one of my favourite Harrisongs ever. The crisp acoustic rhythm guitar overlaid by that classic gleaming slide, and his plaintive, heartfelt singing– I am awed by his music, soul, and legacy every time I hear it. (Not to mention Nicky Hopkins’ excellent piano and Klaus Voormann going crazy-awesome on the bass.)
Of course, I love all his songs, more or less… 
Edit: Gosh, that sounds sappy when put down, but I really mean it from the depths of my Silly Soul. I swear!

Agreed! His musical legacy is phenomenal… and it’s impossible to narrow it down to “one favorite” song, isn’t it?

This is a stunningly sublime song (and another of my many favorites)… so underrated, too, as is much of George’s musical output (by non-fans, at any rate).

An agreed time and date will be arranged where we each ask each other trivia questions, with a 2 minute timespan to answer. Whoever doesn’t/can’t answers loses.
No help is allowed, under the penalty of death!
Now while we wait here is a brief George-interlude:
