Thanks.

However, my question is on the song not being any version of Beware of Darkness.  I'll add some more info that I can now remember from the song.

That is maybe the best version.  I have the album sitting around to get to.  One of those missing the box.  This was really cool because IIRC, Dylan, Russell and George all sang solo parts on this.  Clapton was there, too.

The lasting friendship between Harrison and Clapton is most interesting given the circumstances surrounding Pattie Boyd.

Pattie wrote a memoir "Wonderful Tonight"...that'd be an interesting read.

This version on YouTube (apparently from the Concert for Bangladesh) just has George and Leon Russell singing:





Why Leon faded in terms of popularity from the early 70s on isn't clear to me...

Was George singing? Apparently there was an incomplete version of the song that got bootlegged. See the section in the Wikipedia piece called "Beware the ABKCO version!"

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...

Harrison also performed the song live during The Concert for Bangladesh in August '71. I believe that version made it onto the album of the concert.

If George wasn't singing, a number of people covered the song, including, Leon Russell, Marianne Faithfull, Eric Clapton, Joe Cocker and Sheryl Crow.

Adding to the above after several replies, I'm convinced that the annotation is wrong.  I've recalled some of the lyrics about being an agent sent to china leaving his girlfriend on the dance floor and a pilot crashing his C47 in Olive Drab.  My Google searches on various themes of this come up blank.
