Concert for George Reviews

---

Possibly the Worlds Finest Concert DVD:
When most of George Harrison's best friends showed up to play a concert tribute to him on the one year anniversary of his graduation from the planet, little did they know they were about to create heaven on earth.

Yes, my heartfelt appreciation for one of the lovliest men ever to walk the earth does cloud my objectivity of this wonderful night of magic called simply "Concert for George".... but I really couldn't give a damn....

This concert contains most of George's greatest songs except "Awaiting on you All" which I really did miss, but after it's all said and done, anyone who would knock this DVD either has no heart or simply doesn't like George Harrison... which is pretty much the same thing.... sorry.

Even Tom ("...you can't throw me off this GD airplane, I'm Tom...") Petty was really outstanding.. particularly when he teamed up with Jeff (ELO) Lynne (who sung the Roy Orbison part) on "Handle with Care".....

Dhani Harrison is the spitting image of his Dad at that age.... so much so that you'll do double takes... Eric Clapton is outstanding at everything..... The late Billy Preston sings "My Sweet Lord" as if he knows he's about to meet Him.... Paul McCartney is bloody awesome and so sweet in his obvious love for George and his memory.... Ringo's version of "Photograph" made me break down and cry.........and everyone is joined by the hottest back-up band of studio players and singers assembled since the archangel Gabriel put together his first band for the homecoming of the Lord Jesus Christ.

From Ravi Shankar to Sam Brown to Joe Brown, Jules Holland, Gary Brooker from Procol Harem, hell I'm surprised the Lord God Himself didn't show up just to give George a proper send off.

BUY THIS DVD - IT'S AS GOOD AS ANY CONCERT EVER MADE. NO KIDDIN'.. IF I COULD GIVE IT 10 STARS, I WOULD.

God Bless You George
El concierto para George nos muestra la maravillosa noche del 29 de Noviembre del 2002, un año despues del sensible fallecimiento del tercer beatle. Es una reunion de los amigos que George hizo en vida, desde la epoca de Hamburgo con los beatles, ahi estan Billy Preston, Paul McCartney, Eric Clapton, Ringo Starr, Ravi Shankar, Jeff Lyne, entre otros que tocan las canciones que George compuso, en donde plasmo lo que sentia y pensaba. La apertura del concierto esta a cargo de la musica india dirigida por la bella hija de Ravi Shankar, Anushka, magnifica y mistica musica interpretada por musicos selectos de origen indu, acompañados tambien por seccion de cuerdas, y al finalizar, la guitarra de Clapton que hacen de esa primera parte grandiosa. No vayas a pensar que es aburrida, si te gusta la Musica de verdad te gustara esta parte del show. La presencia de Paul y Ringo en el escenario es nostalgica y emocionante, los BI-tles juntos otra vez, acompañados por la presencia espiritual de John y George. Es un DVD que recomiendo comprar para todos los fans, por momentos es triste, es alegre, es impresionante el sonido, de muy buena calidad, al finalizar de verlo y oirlo solo podras decir...Gracias George por tu presencia en este mundo y por tu musica, Hare Krishna, Hare Rama. Un dato adicional y que Paul menciona en el show, con la participacion de Dhani Harrison pareciera que el mismisimo George estuviera tocando y que sus amigos hubieran envejecido menos el.
