Concert for George Customer Reviews (1 - 3 of 87 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.

Even my husband's ex, and my good friend, enjoyed it so much we're giving her one for her birthday!
We have the kind of family where we promised that all ex's and all family children, blood related or not, would be family. People think I'm strange because my friendship with my husband's ex and her family is so important to me. She was visiting us and our granddaughter in Ontario, CAN, she lives in L.A. and she wakens to classical music every morning. I decided to put on Concert for George, which always brings me to tears, but she never took her eyes off of the screen. She especially enjoyed Ravi Shankar and his daughter's opening to the concert and educated us on what the music meant. As I told my husband...no person I have shared this DVD with has ever left it with a 'so what' opinion. They all loved it and I think, most of my friends have it by now, Beatle lovers or not. Thanks to all who made this a tribute to George, but also a way to educate people about his talents, his many, many friends, his loving wife and son, all of whom, obviously adored George and his music, as do I....and my close friend Mary!
