Summary: Concert for Geoege
Comment: The best tribute i have ever seen. Eric and friends could not have done a better job. The love and respect poured off the screen. Every musician was there for George and his family. The last song by Joe Brown brought a tear to my eye and still does every time i watch it.

Summary: Long Live George!
Comment: I don't know why it took so long for me to figure out he is my favorite Beatle. He lived in the shadow of Lennon and McCartney, but produced some of the Fab Four's most enduring material. After the breakup, he continued to grow both spiritually and creatively, and this concert supplies a rewarding retrospective of his work from Beatle to Wilbury, with Bangladesh in between. For some, the performances of celebrities who honor him (Eric Clapton leads the band) will be reason enough to buy the DVD A Concert for George, but it's George's music that shines through, and it is played with joy, reverance, and an ear for the sound of the original recordings. I liked the concert so much I had to have the CD so I could listen in the car! George may have gone, but he left us an incredible body of work and a son who looks just like him!

Summary: One of my favorite CDs! Amazing Rock and Roll!
Comment: Let me start by saying that I am totally obsessed with this album. I have owned it for several years now and I never get tired of listening to it. I even bought the DVD of the concert after being blown away by the CD! True, I am a Baby Boomer. True, I grew up with the Beatles and Eric Clapton. But, for me, that was a very long time ago in so many ways. I am not "A Fan". I am a normal woman who likes music but would certainly never (under most circumstances) take the time to rate it here on Amazon. The point is, I can't remember the last time I listened to a recording that literally made the hair stand up on the back of my neck! This is amazing Rock and Roll and I defy anyone who claims to be unmoved by the magnitude of this music and the musicians who wrote, and now perform it. I have a new, deep appreciation for the performing artists that Paul McCartny, Ringo Star (yes, even Ringo!) and Jeff Lynn have become; the enduring relevance of the music of George Harrison, the composer; and the deep abiding faith that Eric Clapton is indeed GOD. Eric Clapton was the music director for this concert and the results are extraordinary. Especially wonderful are "Something" and "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" by Paul McCartney and Eric Clapton and "My Sweet Lord" by Billy Preston. Two "negatives": a great performance of "Horse to Water" by Jools Holland and Sam Brown is omitted from the CD and it would have been great if Bob Dylan had been able to be at the concert. That said, this is a great, historic concert by giants of Rock and Roll. It belongs in your library.
