Willie Weeks Said George Harrison's 1974 Dark Horse Tour Was the 'Classiest' Tour He's
Bassist Willie Weeks said George Harrison‘s 1974 Dark Horse tour was the “classiest” tour he’s ever been on. Meanwhile, George didn’t feel too glamorous. At least George’s backing band felt comfortable.
In early 1974, shortly after his wife, Pattie Boyd, officially left him for Eric Clapton, George traveled to India with his musical guru, Ravi Shankar. According to Here Comes The Sun: The Spiritual And Musical Journey Of George Harrison by Joshua M. Greene, they stayed in an ashram in the holy land of Vrindavan.
Being there gave George a magnificent feeling. Suddenly, he wanted to do a tour, which was surprising. The last time George toured was in 1966 with The Beatles at the height of Beatlemania, which exhausted him, aged him, and made him paranoid.
