Summary

S03E09: All Things Must Pass at 50 Part 2 : My Sweet Lord

At the end of 1970 the debut single from George Harrison announced a very different world from the colourful 1960s that the Beatles had soundtracked. Its popularity and influence was immense, and defined how the All Things Must Pass album was received.

However, after the song left the charts, it spent the rest of the decade in the courts.

Live on tape from Dublin & Belfast, it’s Nothing Is Real.
