Harrison played " Dark Horse " throughout both the 1974 tour and his 1991 Japanese tour with Eric Clapton . A live version appears on his 1992 album '' Live in Japan '' . Recordings also exist of Harrison performing the song during radio and television appearances in the 1970s , although none of these versions are available on official releases . For the first time since the debut CD releases of '' Dark Horse '' and '' The Best of George Harrison '' in the early 1990s , " Dark Horse " was remastered in 2014 , along with its parent album , as part of Harrison 's '' Apple Years '' reissues . The latter release includes an acoustic demo of the song , which Harrison recorded in 1974 before the onset of laryngitis
