"In the Hamburg days we had to play so long and really rock it up and leap about and foam at the mouth and do whatever. We missed the whole period in England-- Cliff Richards and the Shadows became the big thing. They all had matching ties and handkerchiefs and gray suits, but we were still doing Gene Vincent, Bo Didley, you know, Ray Charles things. So when we got back to England that was the big thing. They didn't know us in Liverpool, and there was a big gig at the townhall or something, at a dance. There was an advertisement in the newspaper saying, 'Direct from Hamburg,' and so many people really dug the band, and they were coming up to us and saying, 'Oh, you speak good English!'"
"But a year or so after that, When Brian Epstein came on the scene, he said, 'You should smarten up because nobody wants to know you,' --TV producers or record producers or whatever. We just looked too scruffy. In Germany they had alot of leather stuff, like black leather trousers and jackets and boots."
-George Harrison, 1977

George Harrison with Joe Brown's guitar
."...Some days I will have a THOUSAND of this."
Joe Brown is George's old friend. This was taken while Brown went to a toilet. In Concert For George in 2002, Joe sang the last song of the night for him. Take my breath away. It's the only DVD I've cried for-like a baby.
Before this dance is through, I think I'll love you too....
I'm so happy when you dance with me....
How can I used other songs to describe this? Though it maybe a lady who sings that!
"I'm so happy when you dance with me" was penned by John but he gave it to George. Perhaps it's too corny for him?
