Not only did he play three Beatles tracks that had never been played in the UK before -- "The Night Before," "The Word" and "Come And Get It" -- but he also had a special guest on hand: Rolling Stones guitarist Ron Wood.

Think about it: George Harrison and Jimmie Vaughan on the same song together ... a song that was written by Bob Dylan ... which was used on the soundtrack to something as crappy as Porky's Revenge, no less.

George Harrison got his first Rickenbacker 12-string in February of that year, during the Beatles' first U.S. tour. The guitar was given to him by Francis C. Hall, owner and president of the California-based Rickenbacker company.
