If these two men had recorded an album together, with just their two acoustic guitars and their warm, soulful voices, I'd have bought it in a heartbeat. Just beautiful!

We really lost a treasure when we lost George 💔

For the love of God, this should be a yearly celebration, the day music was perfect.

George Harrison, best friend to all musicians famous or not. The best Beatle!

One of the greatest "unplugged" moments in pop music history.

I still remember seeing this in 1976. Even as a stupid teenager, watching this on TV, I knew I had seen something very special.

I remember seeing this live on SNL when it aired. This kind of performance was why the show was so loved at the time. It was a wonderful piece of music history.

Two great songwriters; two great guitarists; one great song. Nothing extraneous. It doesn't get better this.

Listening to Harrison's voice blend perfectly with Simon's in this performance, anyone can deduce that George's voice was the one containing the secret ingredient to the Beatles' phenomenal harmonies....

NOTHING I've seen on SNL over the past 40+ years comes even close to the brilliance of this.

Let’s have it right. George was the best looking Beatle. The funniest Beatle. Wrote Something, While My Guitar Gently Sleeps and fookin’ HERE COMES THE SUN. He then went on to write and record the best solo album - out of all of them. Then went on to create Handmade films. Producing Life of Brian, Time Bandits, and WITHNAIL & I !!!!! George wins it all in my book 😊😊😊❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏

Still listening, January, 2024. 2 great performers, 2 magnificent tunes!

When George takes the 2nd verse of "Homeward Bound" ...it is truly magical...his voice is so beautiful'''🥰

Imagine Da Vinci and Michelangelo collaborating on a work of art.

Both of them treated the other's creation with the utmost respect in this duet. Great music. They should have recorded an album together. They certainly could sing together very well.

The audience had no idea what they were watching! A 1 in a million act!

I don't know how I can be even more impressed with George Harrison's guitar playing, singing, harmonizing, and gentle, humble stage presence, but after watching him play and sing with Paul Simon Simon's song Homeward Bound, I am totally gobsmacked. He is always so humble, as is Paul Simon. It would have been lovely if they had put out an album of acoustic songs together. Beautiful, just beautiful. Every time I listen to the Beatles or to one of them solo, it is a spiritual experience.

I wish George was still here with us

Watching this brings tears to my eyes.Tears for a lost time & such a diffrent world.These two encapsulated that world.All you men & leaders with hate * revenge in your soul.Put down your arms & listen to the sound of calm * gentle music that we all need so badly.

To have lived during the time when Beatles walked this earth. I only have this to say........Thank you for everything.

Paul sure knows how to pick friends.

George Harrison is a really underrated singer.

George Harrison would have been the brightest star in any other band. This is one of the most beautiful songs that anyone has ever written. It is even clearly in the top 10 Beatles maybe even top 5 Beatles songs.

George never understood how important his voice, music, - indeed, his presence - was to those of us who got him. Sure I loved the Beatles. Yes John Lennon. But he was the secret. He was that harmony between Paul's incredible range and John's powerful voice. He was always 'the man' to me. I play guitar, and have a small reputation as an aggressive hard rock/punk guy. But George was always my hero. He's been gone (it'll be) 22 years this coming November. That's how long my heart's been broken by his passing. I hope he's still hangin 'round when I get there.

One very special moment in the history of music. George Harrison was 33 years old, in this SNL clip from 1976. The world is still missing the peace and love George brought in his music.

Arguably SNL's greatest musical moment of all time.

This is marvellous. George and Paul compliment each other perfectly. And as others have noted, the respect they have for the other’s song and musicianship really shines through. Two musical giants in beautiful harmony. A real treat. ❤

スゴイ２人ですね!名曲中の名曲😂ジョージ大好き!

Wow, doesn't get any better. On 11/29/2001 I was boarding a plane for a long business trip and thought, damn it's my 50th B-Day. Another lousy birthday, but worse, it was announced on early morning TV news that George Harrison died. I went into a BR stall and cried. Big tough guy who was drafted and did a tour as a Army Ranger (LRRP). So, I said, screw my trip and fly off to visit my favorite person on earth. Not my loving wife of 30 years or my mom of 50 years, who had her hands full with me growing up, but to see my grandmother. She lit up like a harvest moon seeing me. It was a perfect idea, and sadly not many more to come. She died shortly thereafter at 100. George always had a special place in my heart too. I think of that day often.

Paul Simon's harmonizing abilities are astounding. Not to mention his great guitar playing.

This looks like the SNL performance. I was watching this live when I was 8 yrs old. It triggered my love for music and guitars, and an attachment to George Harrison... Beautiful!

The look on Paul’s face at the end when George does the little improvisational piece on the guitar. Priceless!

I got chills listening to George sing homeward bound what beauty in their harmonies...I never knew they made this collaboration... I am pleased..thank you

Interesting fact: In 2021, Israeli radio held a hit parade of all Beatles songs for 6 straight hours. It was quite an event. Thousands of people participated and chose their most beloved songs. The song reaching no. 1 was "Here Comes the Sun". 2nd and 3rd places were George's as well: "Something" and "While My Guitar Gently Weeps". Well deserved.

How wonderful. It’s like they’d been singing together for all their lives.

One of my favorite George Harrison songs! RIP George

That last little lick from George made me smile.

The presence of a Beatle in the room must have made the audience feel in awe. George Harrison was my favorite Beatle of all. That voice……just magic.

"Ladies and Gentlemen, my friend George Harrison " My ♥ heart. I will always love the two of them with this song. Thank you.

When I see this I wish I could travel back to in time with my family to Wading River, NY on a snowy night with a fire going in the fireplace and watch this live as it happened.

If television had ceased to exist after this broadcast, it would have served its purpose.

Staggering; the amount of talent and sincerity in this video is incredible. Two ridiculously talented, young men/friends performing on a mainstream outlet. Never happens these dismal days. Lifts the heart, to say the least.

Two acoustic guitars, two great guitars players, two great singer- songwriters and nothing else! Wow!

I love how much care and effort George put into his friend's song. You can tell he's very careful to not go too overboard yet get his verse just right, and then at the end Paul's face when he does that quick little finishing solo like a parting gift for Paul's song.

These are the best versions of both of these songs. Harrison and Simon compliment each other perfectly

George was always my favourite Beatle when I was growing up in the sixties. I have never changed my mind. He is truly missed, God got the best.

Two gentle souls prove that love and friendship is powerful in harmony.

I miss the music that rose out of the 60's. Thank you Paul and George.

No auto tune, no processing. Just 2 great guitar players singing.

More talent on that stage than in the whole of pop music today, this was a pure joy to watch.

I so love youtube cause without it we would probably never see magical performances like this.

This Goerge guy sounds good he should join a band

My God when Paul sings "here comes the sun" it's magical. His voice is so angelic and it fits the song so well. He and George's voices harmonize beautifully together.

George's voice is incredible here. That vibrato is something else.

CELEBRATE George and his beautiful songwriting with HERE COMES THE SUN ... 2024 hang on to your hats, take care, People!!

I'm left in awe of the talent of these two men. What a performance.

I don’t understand how people can put a finger down to this amazing song It’s unthinkable

Magnificent!!! I saw this on SNL when it happened. I was so thrilled & happy. Now all these years later, i finally see this again & i feel the same happy way again! It was wonderful to be a kid when these great artists were around playing great music. This was amazing. ☮️💟

the best duet of all times. absolutely amazing.

One of the best acoustic duets ever recorded on film. Pure vocals, pure playing, pure songs.x

George was the soul of the Beatles. Listen to how easily he fits in that middle harmony. All of them were brilliant, but George held it together. BTW: Imagine if Paul Simon and George Harrison wrote and made an album together!!

Here Comes the Sun -- the new anthem of surviving coronavirus and leaving the hospital.

George Harrison was the driven force behind the Beatles, he sadly never got the honour he deserved.

It's a perfect harmony created by two legends. I love it.

Sublime! It's too bad the visuals are so blurry, but the music is stunning. I miss George!

2 guitars, 2 voices, one perfect moment

This is feeding my soul on this gloomy morning!

It was the summer of 1970 when this song came out in the States. I was living in Berkeley CA, better known as Beserk-ly back then. We would gather on our flat rooftop four stories up with a killer view of San Francisco beyond and crank out Here Comes The Sun. Ah, thank you George for your genius. Peace on the world, please.

I love this performance and I have always believed that they chose which one of the other's song that would be played. Paul choosing Here Come the Sun and George picking Homeward Bound. I also love the little guitar flourishes that George adds to Paul's very somber and moving tune.

So absolutely amazing, Paul Simon and George Harrison definitely should have done more together. Absolutely flawless singing and guitar playing by both.

Its great to see Paul and George together

I miss George. Such a sweet soul.

One of the greatest moments in music that ever happened. I can't experience this without tears. Of joy. And gratitude.

one of my favorite performances of all time; I remember seeing this on the original SNL broadcast; 2 of the best harmony singers ever, they sound great together; I love how they obviously respect each other’s song; I love the way Paul’s unique fingerpicking compliments Here Comes The Sun & George’s classy reminder to all that he was The Beatles lead guitarist there at the end of Homeward Bound

I've watched this video at least 20 times over the years and it never fails to bring a tear to my eye, RIP George and Paul, keep on keeping' on!

6 minutes and 38 seconds of musical perfection. The depth is just staggering.

I remember watching this on TV when it aired for the very first time "Live", and thinking it was the greatest musical moment in TV history, save for The Beatles debut itself on Ed Sullivan. Now 44 years later, I realize that I was correct.

Remember watching this as a kid live on Saturday Night allowed to stay up late because we had guests. Unforgettable...

We were so lucky to have experienced George Harrison miss you sweet man.

Two of the finest musicians/songwriters of our time. Together. How great is this?

I think I was such a McCartney fan I never really realized what a nice voice George had. Gorgeous.

I must say I'm a huge fan of the late great George Harrison. I have the CD of the concert for George that was Done to honor his music and it's one of my favorites, I play it over and over and never get tired of it

to this day,George's song "Here Comes the Sun" is the highest selling BEATLE song of all time

This is iconic. Timeless artists, what a cool colaboration. Hearing George Harrison sing Homeward Bound with his gentle and melifluous voice is so poetically heartening and brilliant. I love this

Holy crap, two geniuses for the price of one! You can tell they loved singing each other's songs and the guitar playing, solid.

Never knew that George & Paul got an opportunity to play together! Boy do they sound sweet together ❤️

Wow!!! Perfect harmony, blending and guitar playing. These could be the best live versions of their hit classic songs. Didn’t realize that George and Paul collaborated in the 70s. Truly touching performance!!!❤️

I love Paul’s face when George does that solo at the end. He’s like..oooo damn.

The Beatles get together to record the songs for Abbey Road. George says "I got this song called Here Comes The Sun". Rest of the band "You got anything else?" George "I have a song called Something." Yeah, but he couldn't write songs. On arguably the best rock record every recorded, George has the two best songs on it.

"Here Comes the Sun" is such a truly beautiful song. Homeward Bound is so poetic. I think George and Paul wrote from the same place in their souls.

The way George hits “cigarettes and magazines” is awesome. It’s just very George

Often when two greats come together they are less than the sum of the parts, but this really works, they sound wonderful together. It just works.Also interesting to think how George seems like such a good collaborator, he was the heart of the Travelling Wilburys and I think the Beatles really needed him, he didn't want the spotlight he just helped make it all work.

So special to hear George’s voice again.

The greatest performance in the history of SNL

Beautiful. There is nothing even close to that these days

I loved it when George sang without trying too hard. His voice was really authentic.

One of George's greatest song And Paul was a perfect addition

George Harrison was my favorite Beatle ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥I love this song 🎵

Harrison had the best guitar and voice of all Beatles.

George Harrison was always my favorite Beatle.... so miss his voice
