“For George”: Joe Walsh, Jeff Lynne & Dhani Harrison Deliver Emotional Beatles Tribute With Timeless “Something” Performance That Leaves Audience in Tears
Los Angeles | June 2025
In a moment soaked with music history and heartfelt remembrance, Joe Walsh, Jeff Lynne, and Dhani Harrison took the stage this weekend for a performance that felt like time stood still — delivering an emotional tribute to George Harrison through one of his most iconic creations: “Something.”
🎶 More Than a Cover—A Son’s Love Letter
Performed at the All-Stars for Peace benefit concert in Los Angeles, the trio’s rendition of “Something” wasn’t just a nostalgic throwback — it was a spiritual homecoming.
Guided by Dhani Harrison, George’s only son, the performance echoed not just through the speakers, but through generations. With Jeff Lynne (Electric Light Orchestra frontman and George’s close friend) on rhythm and the legendary Joe Walsh (George’s brother-in-law and Eagles guitarist) adding his unmistakable bluesy edge, the tribute was nothing short of transcendent.
“It felt like George was there,” one audience member whispered. “Not just remembered — felt.”
As Dhani sang his father’s lyrics — “You’re asking me will my love grow, I don’t know… I don’t know…” — his voice cracked ever so slightly. The crowd didn’t move. No phones. No clapping. Just reverent silence.
Behind him, a vintage projection of George Harrison in the Abbey Road studios played in black and white. A soft spotlight lit Dhani from above — as if father and son were connected across time.

“Something” first appeared on Abbey Road in 1969 and remains one of The Beatles’ most beloved love songs. Frank Sinatra once called it “the greatest love song ever written,” and even Paul McCartney has said it’s one of George’s most genius creations.
For Dhani, who has spent much of his adult life preserving and promoting his father’s legacy, this performance marked a deeply personal milestone.
“This isn’t just a Beatles song to me,” Dhani told DailyMail.com backstage. “It’s my dad speaking to the world, and I get to echo it.”
In an era of auto-tuned noise and fast fame, three legends and one son reminded the world of the quiet power of a truly timeless song.
“Something in the way she moves…”
And something in the way George still lives on — through music, memory, and the people who loved him most.
