Exceptionally moving but not the least bit sentimental, Concert for George is a splendid tribute to the late George Harrison, whose contributions to the Beatles were so often hidden in the long shadows of John Lennon and Paul McCartney. A year to the day after Harrison's November 29, 2001 death, Eric Clapton assembled some musicians--people who had played with Harrison and known him intimately, including McCartney, Ringo Starr, and Tom Petty--to perform his music at London's Royal Albert Hall. They take on not just the predictable ("My Sweet Lord" and "Something," beautifully sung by Billy Preston and Sir Paul, respectively), but also lesser-known fare like "Old Brown Shoe" and "Beware of Darkness," all to superbly empathetic effect. But the tune most likely to make you misty-eyed is "While My Guitar Gently Weeps," which brings together three of the five musicians who played on the original recording: Ringo on drums, Clapton replicating his own classic solo, and McCartney playing piano and harmonizing with Clapton's lead vocal. Concert for George enjoyed a brief theatrical release, but even those who caught it on the big screen will delight in this two-disc DVD edition. Disc 1 features the complete concert (sans interview and rehearsal footage, but with a few additional songs and in the original running order), while disc 2 contains the theatrical version and some additional backstage and photo material. All in all, a beautiful piece of work. Wish you were here, George--but man, what a way to be missed. --Sam Graham

one night I would have loved to have been there for ... November 13, 2008
Dennis Banks (Oceanside, Ca United States)
The "silent Beatle" George was probably the best musician of the group and it shows by the friends that came to preform that night. All musicians of the highest caliber. This concert was a thing George would have enjoyed, so many friends all coming together to celebrate his life. Every song was perfect match for evening. Starting off with Ravi, Anoushka Shankar right through to Joe Brown singing one of my favorites that I keep on listening to over and over "I'll see you in my dreams". The Production beautiful, sound was great and content superb. My thanks to all for a lovely night Denny

This was a wonderful tribute to George Harrison. The music was really good performed by his good friends and a great variety of what he had written.

There are no words in the english language to describe this DVD August 12, 2008

There are no words in the english language to describe this DVD...All Things Must Pass, Isn't it a Pity, Photogragh, My Sweet Lord, While my Guitar Gently Weeps, See You in My Dreams...and finaly The Inner Light with Jeff Lynne and Anoushka Shankar...I can't forget the venerable percussioninst Ray Cooper as well.
Many musicians try and organize the songs on their albums to try and tell a story, well this album effortlessly puts together George's Life and Soul...If you don't buy the DVD, at least buy the CD...But the DVD is astounding. Photography, lighting, scenery.. it is all here...Just seeing the greatest of the greats on stage...All of the background performers that hold up the stars are here, as well as the greatest of the greats, together to honor the mystical music of George Harrison. While I never quite got the whole idea of Billy Preston being the '5th Beatle'...now it is clear and concise...just watch and learn, watch and learn...
There are simpy not the right words...
I Started watching and listening to this before my daughter was born, now she is two,and absolutely must listen to this every car ride. She yells out 'george, george' What could be a better review than a two year old begging for more George Harrison. It is timeless and you never get tired of it. Every time I watch it, I discover something new about the DVD.
It is truly awesome to see and hear...
