On this day in 1976 GEORGE HARRISON and PAUL SIMON appeared on SNL and performed "Homeward Bound":

2. "Home, where my love lies waitin',

silently for me."

May it be so.

3. I seem to remember a short SNL film

Also early in the show's history, there was a short film showing loved ones meeting in airport terminals with Homeward Bound playing.

Very moving. Can't find it anywhere. Maybe it was another show, but I seem to remember it being on SNL.

Edit:
It was in 1975 - a film by Gary Weis.

Still searching...

Specifically - Dec 20, 1975.

15. I was thinking about that film, just recently.

Beautiful piece of work, from the really great days of "SNL."

4. Beautiful, makes me get all teary.

I miss George so much.

I was probably late to this but if you have not read or preferably listened to Miracle and Wonder by Malcolm Gladwell do.

Beautiful music, exceptional. Thank you.

5. K&R Thanks for posting. n/t

6. They also performed Here Comes the Sun

... so look for a longer clip on the tube - well worth it.

But my recollection also includes the "cold open" which featured an argument between Harrison and Lorne Michaels. It went something like this:

Harrison: "Listen, there's a problem with my appearance fee - I thought we had agreed on $3000, but this check is only for $750."
Michaels: "George, I thought we understood that the $3000 was for the four of you..."

12. Amazing

7. I remember this performance

It was unforgettable. Really Because I don't remember much else from that year

[DemUnleashed]

8. Omg!!

I just loved that! Thank you for posting it!

9. I seriously can not tell you how great this is! Had never

Even seen it before. Makes me seriously question my decision to pick John as my favorite

[SilasSouleII]

10. Ahh... days gone bye

[Wild blueberry]

11. Lovely

Thank you

13. Perfect choice of song

It’s a great song for the two of them to be singing together. Each knows exactly what the other is saying about wishing to be home and their shared experiences all come out in this song.

14. Gone too soon

On November 29th it will be 21 years since George passed. He was and continues to be a musical genius! What a perfect way to end the day listening to and watching George and Paul Simon! I remember watching this on SNL many years ago.
