George Harrison and Eric Clapton performing the best version of “While My Guitar Gently Weeps”
(Japan Live 1993)
I only posted this - again - so I could pin the toot-:)
Thanks. It’s way cool we can pin toots now-:)
Yes it is! The Mind Ship CoSo is maturing quite nicely! Awakening from it's birth dream to great the light as a new dawn is rises
@evamarie Have you heard the version from Regina Spektor?
No, I haven’t, thank you so much!
@evamarie
Thank you!! Sending to my non-boyfriend.
It’s the greatest version of the song IMO, and I have to thank MisterE for posting it a few months after CoSo became live. I listen to it all the time💛
I think MisterE beat me here at least by a week. To the best of my recollection, I joined CoSo about 11/22/17.
I’m kind of Rain Manish about dates. 🤣
@LordyIHopeTheRTapes @evamarie
Probably about 11/6 or so. About 5 days after it opened up. Before then, Twitter and JS. This is a lot easier. More work for J though.
👍. You are an original CoSoNaut!
@LordyIHopeTheRTapes Thanks for shaking it down for everybody.
@evamarie @LordyIHopeTheRTapes
Nicely done. It's a great post. Clapton Is God and he's supporting Harrison. smh!
@LordyIHopeTheRTapes @evamarie
Every time their names are mentioned together, I feel dirty with that shit going on. Yes, aware.
But this was recorded in 1993, after Eric blew up his marriage, so I find it a full circle moment, two friends coming together after a half a lifetime of drama and substance abuse and heartbreak. This whole concert represents the redemptive power of real friendship.
@evamarie @LordyIHopeTheRTapes
I still need a hot, soapy shower! 🤣
I just snorted out loud. 😆
I made it my pinned toot. 😁
@evamarie
Sent this to bass player friend. He really liked it. TY!
@evamarie So I’m very late to this, but this my favorite version of my absolutely favorite Beatles song. Tom Petty and Prince!

It’s an awesome version, for sure. I just hope no one got hurt when Prince’s Guitar finally fell down- 😁
I've been lucky enough to see Eric 3 times live in my life...the last time in 2006 in Orlando Fl... He had Derek Trucks and the Robert Cray band perform with him...I can die fulfilled!
Oh, that’s fantastic, and I am a tiny bit jealous. 😁 Clapton is god. I have bucket loads of Clapton music and never get tired of listening to his brilliance.
@evamarie at that last event I had to keep pinching myself...I was not aware that either Derek or Robert would be there although I had seen both in concert separately before
What an incredible surprise. That must have been a concert for the ages.
For your consideration
Tom Petty et al--While My Guitar Gently Weeps
I always refer to that performance as "multiple legends watch in awe as prince shreds"
Prince is jaw dropping in this version, no doubt, and I can’t watch this video without wondering where on earth his guitar landed after he tossed it in the air.
That said, Clapton’s guitar work was so poignant it grabbed me and didn’t let go.
This is my second favorite version.
@northernbassist @evamarie
I miss Tom...
@northernbassist @evamarie
And Prince and Eric of course
wait..whut? Eric?
@northernbassist @evamarie
Ah crap or phew. Someone told me he passed yhis year...way to start rumors
Huge PHEW!!! in this case....👍
@northernbassist @evamarie
Clearly no longer a trusted source
well...trust, but verify. 😉

Happy birthday girl, hope it is a fabulous year! Thanks for all the tunes
Thank you! Let’s hope this year is so much better than the last one, for the whole world.
@evamarie
Absolutely! Let's cross january off though and start counting at February.
@evamarie George Harrison is just awesome!
Right?
Just love this version of “While My Guitar Gently Weeps” with Eric Clapton. I still listen to it at least once a week:
@evamarie It's excellent! Enjoying the listen. Thank you for sharing ❤️
We love our music here-:)
@evamarie Indeed! Love listening to everyone's selection. Quite a variety.
@evamarie @lunamarexplores I have a negative view of Clapton since COVID. All that great music I can’t listen to anymore.
If I didn’t read the books or listen to the music of artists whose opinions I didn’t like, my life would be poorer. I had a good friend who was an artist who once said, “listen to the art, not the artist” and that principal has helped me throughout the years. 😉
@evamarie @lunamarexplores I agree with, "listen to the art." That being said I find myself unable to.
Most of my favorite authors are not very nice people (Hemingway, and JK Rowling included) and if you dig into the opinions and lives of most great rock artists, the same can be said. So, while I’ll not patronize Hobby Lobby because their owners are foul, I’ll pretty much listen to any musician or read any author regardless of my dislike for them personally. 🤷♀️
@evamarie @BFBucky1 @lunamarexplores
Sometimes the reverse is true. I love Stephen King dragging musk and trump. 💕
@LnzyHou @BFBucky1 @lunamarexplores
I love it when my opinions and that of my favorite artists align. :)
@evamarie @LnzyHou @lunamarexplores Back in my hippy days it was a requirement.
@evamarie thank you!
@evamarie
Another good one!
