It all adds up to a very fitting tribute for Harrison, who loved comedy and filmmaking almost as much as he loved music. Plus, if you keep watching, you'll spot everyone from Eagles guitarist Joe Walsh to actress Rosanna Arquette to one of the two surviving fellow Beatles.but we won't spoil which. As Armisen goes on his search, he links up with everyone from fellow SNL alum Vanessa Bayer to Mad Men star Jon Hamm to comedian Patton Oswalt and comedy music icon Weird Al Yankovic. The real hook of the video, apart from its beautiful camerawork and simply enjoying the new mix of "My Sweet Lord," though, is the sheer number of stars who've found their way into the short. Watch Bob Dylan, Roger McGuinn, Tom Petty, Neil Young, Eric Clapton & George Harrison perform. What follows is a search that takes him through various Los Angeles landmarks, including the legendary Last Bookstore, with a flashlight and what looks like a UV scanner, in search of something mysterious while the song plays. Ive been singing it wrong for all these years. Directed by Lance Bangs ( Portlandia, The Meltdown with Jonah and Kumail), the video begins with none other than Star Wars legend Mark Hamill acting as a kind of supervisor to Fred Armisen ( Portlandia, Saturday Night Live), who's an unnamed "agent" being sent back in the field to investigate.well, something. On Wednesday, Harrison's official YouTube page released a new official music video for "My Sweet Lord" to promote a remaster of the song overseen by Harrison's son, Dhani. To pay tribute, a truly all-star lineup of comedy stars, actors, musicians, and fans got together to make something special.
Last year marked the 50th anniversary of All Things Must Pass, Harrison's extraordinary solo debut, and this year marks the 50th anniversary of the single release of "My Sweet Lord," arguably his most popular and most enduring solo song.
But that's not the only reason to celebrate the legendary Harrison this year. On November 29, 2002, a year after his death, a tribute concert for George Harrison was held at Royal Albert Hall. If you're thinking about George Harrison lately, there's a good chance it's because of Get Back, Peter Jackson's epic Disney+ documentary looking into the making of The Beatles' Let It Be album, which features some particularly interesting moments for the Fab Four's lead guitarist. George Harrison, MBE (25 February 1943 29 November 2001) was an influential English rock guitarist, singer, songwriter, author and sitarist best known as the lead guitarist of The Beatles.
