I figured why not. This is the DVD that came with the Brainwashed special edition CD. It’s a 7 and a half minute little video.
It starts off with George giving some Hindu spiritualism. “Really, the past the present and the future are one big cycle,” and that, “it’s us coming back.”
Dhani Harrison (George’s only son) talks about his father mapping out the songs but they were like lab rats running around figuring out what to do.
Jeff Lynne says the project was very daunting. He says it was hard because obviously George wasn’t there but after a few songs it’s like he was. Says he might’ve made the song posher than George would’ve wanted.
George says the album wasn’t high-tech (in older interviews of course).
Drummer Jim Keltner said George had great timing.
We go to a clip of George playing “Devil and the Deep Blue Sea” with George on the ukulele.
Lynne says George was an honest lyricist.
Dhani says George was always around the house playing the uke so “Devil in the Deep Blue Sea” HAD to be on there because “it reeked of my dad.”
George says the problem with taking is that the more you say the more you bury yourself. Songs are better because you have music and sound and it can stir you from a much deeper level.
Lynne says he wrote important things like spiritualism and politics.
Dhani says that George’s favorite number was 7 and he did things based on that number whether he realized it or not and Dhani put “Stuck Inside a Cloud” as No. 7 because it was his favorite song.
George sometimes thinks he’s on the wrong planet.
Lynne wants people to hear how great George was as a guitarist, songwriter etc.
Dhani says the album needed to be heard.
Lynne says George would want to be remembered as a great person and gardener.
Great DVD to accompany what will most likely be the last original output from my favorite Beatle.
