Yup, Clapton was foolin' around with George's wife for a while before she left Harrison for Clapton. I thought this tune was a bit ironic.

Didn't George lose his wife to Clapton? I wonder about his feelings here. FWIW, I always thought George was the coolest of them all. Not sure if was because of the look in his eyes or simply his tragedy.

Having watched the DVD many times, I can tell you it's Clapton on lead guitar "weeping" if you will, Mann is back there working hard, but not the lead. The backup vocalists are numerous, but Jeff Lynne and Paul McCartney are the main ones according to my eyes and ears. I love this DVD.

I'm pretty sure Clapton is playing the exact same part in this recording as he played on the White Album version - the lead. **Edit My mistake, according to Wikipedia: On 29 November 2002, Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr, Dhani Harrison, Jeff Lynne and Eric Clapton performed "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" at the Concert for George in memory of Harrison, who died a year earlier after a long battle with cancer. This version featured Eric Clapton with Marc Mann playing Clapton's original solo and also a second, as well as Paul McCartney on the piano. Frankly, I have my doubts that's Marc Mann is playing the solo on this version, and not Clapton. Other articles on that concert say Mann played Harrison's parts, which would make more sense. I think Clapton played the lead parts on both this version and the White Album. If someone has the DVD of this performance they may be able to shed more light on this. |

Eric Clapton, Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr, Dhani Harrison and other musicians perform George Harrison's "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" Concert for George.
"I think this was Eric's personal tribute to George. Just look at the intensity on his face and the sounds he gets on the solo at the end. He was still focused at the end until Dhani gave his approval. I'm sure George approved too. "
I look at you all see the love there that's sleeping
While my guitar gently weeps
I look at the floor and I see it need sweeping
Still my guitar gently weeps
I don't know why nobody told you
how to unfold you love
I don't know how someone controlled you
they bought and sold you
I look at the world and I notice it's turning
While my guitar gently weeps
With every mistake we must surely be learning
Still my guitar gently weeps
I don't know how you were diverted
you were perverted too
I don't know how you were inverted
no one alerted you
I look at you all see the love there that's sleeping
While my guitar gently weeps
I look at you all
Still my guitar gently weeps
This is heartbreaking - and beautiful. Dhani looks like he's almost in tears. What a tribute to the late Mr. Harrison, who gave us so much good music, so unassumingly and unreservedly. RIP, George. I miss you every day. |

So long as we are talking about other versions of this song, I'd urge everyone to check out Jeff Healey's version. Quite good, though none are as good as the original (which of course, included Clapton).
