    I love that Conan is such a huge fan of the Beatles
  • @ffcorona
    Great story about Ringo and the stones. George had a hell of a sense of humor.
  • @botown15
    This is why Conan is the best late night show...he doesn't mind pausing for a second and having a real conversation, doesn't try to pack everything with laughs, but is still hilarious.
  • @keve1212
    I love the way Paul speaks in interviews and how everything around him just seems more quiet and still than usual.
  • @bobmoslow9554
    George's sense of humor is indeed magnified by how serious he was most of the time.  Nice comments about an amazing human being!

    George Harrison was one of the greatest guitarists ever. Not in the way that Hendrix was - bombastic, effusive etc. He just knew the exact fills and solos that the song NEEDED and he’s a bigger part of the Beatles success than he’s billed for
  • About 3:00 minutes into the video I realized, "holy crap, this has been the most low key conversation on Conan ever and no one has cracked a joke"
  • Paul Simon, one of the greatest composers of songs of my generation. The songs were so intensely personal and the chord sequences were unique to Paul. Love and respect.
  • @tangobango9653
    George Harrison sounds like a very nice, decent person, not full of himself for as big a star as he was. Too bad he's gone! RIP George!
  • I think it's really cool that George's house is still there, all his guitars and instruments are still there, and his jukebox too! It's as if George was going to walk right back inside his house the next day.

    calling Friar Park a "house" is like calling the Titanic a a row boat

    I Saw Paul live last year for the first time in my life. He is an absolute GOD to me and I wanted to catch him on what would probably be my last chance as he announced his "homeward bound" farewell tour. I didn't expect much in the vocal department, I had heard recent clips where he didn't sound so amazing, but I couldn't care less, this was Paul Simon, a living God and I was as interested in his guitar playing as much as his singing anyway. When he walked out on stage and picked up his guitar, my heart just sank as I watched his quivering shaking hands grab the guitar. Oh no! Look at Paul's hands. They were shaking so bad I thought he would drop the guitar and he certainly would not be able to play. Within 3 seconds of him playing, I knew that those old hands might shake now with age, but every single note was perfect and as masterfully played as if it was the day he recorded it. His voice was damned near perfect too and I felt a little embarrassed that I had already resigned myself to thinking he couldn't sing anymore. I would have felt like the biggest idiot in the world, but fortunately I was too preoccupied being literally blown away by the talent which I already idolized this man for, but it is just entirely something else to see it in person. It was one of the best most enjoyable concerts of my life.

    The Beatles may have split up as a band in 1970 but none of the members (to this day) ever stopped being Beatles. I love that. You can sense how all of them were so proud of what they achieved, especially when all the bitternes that came with the split finally settled.
  • I recall an appearance Saturday night live when Paul Simon and George sat with their guitars. Paul Simon casually said this is my friend George followed by two to three minutes of applause.
  • @patcoughlin3104
    Great to hear peoples encounter with George, probably one of the most sincere and honest person in the entertainment business the man had a bulshit meter that was impeccable incredibly kind but nobody's fool
  • @greenbeagle13
    Can't get enough of Paul Simon, so love this guy, his songwriting/guitar playing/performing.....
  • Saw Paul the last time he came to Australia. What a show, what a band and Paul just blew the house down. Probably my greatest live music experience and I'm coming up to 70. Who could not love George?
  • "Paul sent that to us as a promo for Standing Stone.."  I died.  Jesus I miss George Harrison - there isn't enough of his type around.
