George and Paul’s row, as documented in the Let It Be movie, happened 6th January 1969. George walked out on the 10th, according to George Martin following an incident with John which turned physical, but the whole thing was hushed up.

John alludes to it in the Rolling Stone interview.

I own “Concert for George” on DVD and have watched it several times. Recently (February 25, 2018), saw it in the theater and noticed the song “Wah Wah” was omitted. Does anyone know why?

Love the history. Discord with band members is always a slippery slope. Eric Clapton’ contribution to so many of Georges’ endeavors is notable. George had a loving spiritual pursuit in his years of life. The quest of finding that higher power; the one we all try to come to grips with. Like all musicians we write with emotion and what we feel. The fortune George and his mates had was a captive following that consumed hisand their beautiful contributions to the Universe. I believe George put love at the front of who he was. Peter Frampton carries a love for George and pays tribute at all concerts. He keeps talking about George’s Mandolin obsession. I also hear this from Tom Petty. George you are loved for the gifts you gave. I am not afraid of darkness. I embrace the next existence with an open heart. Thank you George for all you gave.

One of my favorite rockers from GH. I used to have a great tube amp & pre-amp (Dynaco) and huge Dynaco speakers that could handle the Spector production, peel off the clashy tops, pull up the middle, etc. But with everything miniaturized, including player systems, little speakers or ear “buds”, this song, along with a few of the louder ones, is just painful. It feels like the reverb is turning back in on itself til it’s cacophony. C’mon, one of you young nerds out there, invent a program to strip away reverb!
Yes, great live versions on Bengladesh & Concert for George!

There is an interview where george states that it had to do with paul. It came out of his own mouth. He wrote “wah wah” about Paul in particular.

Check Concert for Bangladesh Vimeo video at 22:00 mark. Most of the same players+ no echo chamber. #GeorgeHarrison Wah-Wah

I don’t think we will ever hear ATMP stripped down. We have Early Takes vol. 1 instead. It’s beautiful. And also I would love to hear “Living In The Material World” spectorized really!

I am sure it was a culmination of frustrations but George specifically says in an interview with Crawdaddy magazine that he got up and left immediately following being filmed having a “row” with Paul.

yeah, I know what you mean. The album is amazing, but some (most) songs were overproduced. This album would be pretty awesome as an “unplugged” performance.

when are they going to release a version of “All things Must Pass” stripped down (de-specotorized)? Just like Double Fantasy. Love George, Love the songs, hate the production.

Please do not say that George wrote this song after he temporarily quit the Beatles because of a fight with Paul. It is well documented that he left the Let It Be sessions because of a fight with John. (They even came to blows–and we even know the reasons why they clashed that day.) Maybe because of the Let It Be movie where we see a row between Paul and George, people are inclined to speculate that that was the reason why George quit the sessions, which is false.
