Favorite non-Beatles version of While My Guitar Gently Weeps?

Sign in to disble this ad
Working on this song these days and realized it is one of the most covered Beatles songs.

Seriously, love this tune, now that I know the lyrics and chord progression, it's just brilliant.

What is your favorite cover?

I personally love the Toto version, especially the Live In Amsterdam.

I probably fixed it while you were typing this

But good catch anyway.

Ok, I have seen the Ukulele Youtube video already...

No, I mean by a full band.

The Jeff Healey Band version (featuring some George Harrison -RIP- dude) is pretty sweet.

Guess this doesn't qualify, but the version on the Beatles Anthology is my favorite. Slower version, George by himself. Love it.

Woah you read my mind about the ukelele version. My favorite version is with George Harrisson, Eric Clapton, Ringo Starr, Phil Collins, Elton John and I think One or two other people.

The version on the Concert for George is up there in my book. If you haven't seen that concert, I highly recommend it. It's kind of a tear jerker. That song specifically has Eric Clapton, Jeff Lynne, Paul McCartney, Ringo, Dhani Harrison, Albert Lee, Billy Preston, etc... An amazing line up of musicians.

This is my favorite, especially the part where Prince throws his guitar up in the air and somehow it never comes back down.

That Hall of Fame video is awesome. My favorite version was with a power trio I was in a few years ago, sadly the guitar player has passed away before we ever got it recorded and so many other tunes.
