George Harrison Like the Idea of Being in a Band With Ringo Starr, Elton John, Jeff Lynne ...
After George Harrison performed with Ringo Starr, Elton John, Jeff Lynne, and Eric Clapton at the Prince’s Trust Concert in 1987, many people thought they’d make a good band. With the idea “bubbling about,” George admitted he liked it.
George performed with his friends at the 1987 Prince’s Trust Concert. On Aspel & Co., George explained that before performing, it felt like he was going to the electric chair. Fortunately, George had Ringo, Clapton, Lynne, and Elton John to support him.
All four musicians also helped George record 1987’s Cloud Nine. Lynne co-produced the album, contributed vocals and various other instruments and co-wrote “That’s What It Takes,” “This Is Love,” and “When We Was Fab.” Ringo contributed drums on various tracks. Clapton added electric guitar on “Cloud 9,” “That’s What It Takes,” “Devil’s Radio,” and “Wreck of the Hesperus.” Meanwhile, Elton John contributed electric piano on “Cloud 9,” piano on “Devil’s Radio,” and “Wreck of the Hesperus.”
