Video: 'Paul Simon & Goerge Harrison - Here Comes The Sun'

(Thursday, November 18, 1976) — Former Beatle George Harrison, promoting the release of his album Thirty-Three and 1/3, taped an appearance for the Nov. 20, 1976, edition of NBC’s Saturday Night with Paul Simon today in Studio 8H at Rockefeller Center in New York City, performing “Here Comes The Sun” and “Homeward Bound” on acoustic guitars.

They also rehearsed (and taped) performances of “Bye, Bye, Love,” a brief snippet of “Don’t Let Me Wait Too Long,” “Yesterday,” “Bridge Over Troubled Water,” “Rock Island Line,” a brief “Flight Of The Valkyries” and a reprise of “Here Comes The Sun.”

At the start of tonight’s show, Harrison is seen asking the program’s executive producer Lorne Michaels if he can have the $3,000 Beatles reunion money that Michaels had promised on earlier episodes. Michaels insists, “If it was up to me, you could have the money. But NBC wouldn’t agree.”

The broadcast also premiered the promotional films for “Crackerbox Palace” and “This Song” from the new album.
