George Harrison on stage The Japanese tour in December 1991

The Japanese tour in December 1991 was Harrison’s only other tour as a solo artist. His 1992 album Live in Japan contains a version of “Give Me Love” ( Give Me Peace on Earth) from this tour, recorded at Tokyo Dome on 15 December 1991.

George delegated the solos to a fellow musician: in this case, great Andy Fairweather-Low reproduced the slide-guitar parts from the original studio recording.

Ian Inglis notes the “impressive interplay”, particularly towards the end of the song, between Harrison and his backup singers, Tessa Niles and Katie Kissoon.

Enjoy that relic. In the comments, at the Concert for George tribute to Harrison, in November 2002, Jeff Lynne performed “Give Me Love” with Andy Fairweather-Low and Marc Mann playing the twin slide-guitar parts. Lynne and Eric Clapton on rhythm guitars.
