j45nick Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 Don't know how long this link will be live, or whether it is available world-wide. Now 11 years after the death of George Harrison, this is the 10-year-old Concert for George video. Mind-blowing music and great performances by some of the best, including Clapton, Tom Petty, etc. Even a few Gibsons in the mix. Even if you only have time to watch the first 10 minutes or so, it's worth it. Amazing what occasionally great music was created by the members of that over-rated boy band from Liverpool so many years ago......

larryp58 Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 I have that concert on DVD. One of the best recorded shows ever! You're right! Great musicians and talent all on one stage. Also, try to check another good one on DVD: George's concert for Bangledesh. It's one of my favorites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E-minor7 Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 I've seen the DVD and got the album - a worthy and huuuuge night. One of the hardest Fab-songs to sing might be Old Brown Shoe - Gary Brooker took care that one, if recall it right. And never underestimate late Billy Preston - a vintage friend - almost member - of the band. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ol fred Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 Thanks Nick. One hour and five minutes to download here in the boonies, but well worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merseybeat1963 Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 Boy Band !! Maybe temporarily packaged as such for a short time when I think about it.. rather not think about it.. : ) Magic. Master songsmiths.. Thanks for the link. I skipped through it cause Ive seen this...but when I tried to revist the link it was blocked. Why wasn't Pete Best there...? He more than most there in a tribute to his life. To do songs which George sang in they're formative years. And Ravi Shankar too old to play? I saw the movie Gandhi and was so impressed with his music I got two copies of that soundtrack. The high point to me by a mile was the two songs begining at 1hr :09min "The Inner Light"..with his gorgeous niece/daughter playing that Sitar...and "My Sweet Lord".. Billy Preston beautifull version. (Pauls shaky voice & Clapton trying to play along during that Indian piece were the low..) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J200_2013 Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 Yeah, remembering George Harrison. I actually met him once (at the 1979 Brazilian Grand Prix, oldly enough; he was a good friend of Emerson Fittipaldi) and got his autograph--which he did in a big, bold flourishing hand, making it so suitable for framing. Needless to say, it's one of my prized possessions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onewilyfool Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 I play "Here Comes the Sun" and "Something in the way she moves" at every gig........just love those songs.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MissouriPicker Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 For years, George Harrison was underrated. The "quite Beatle" stands head-and-shoulders above the others. All the mainstream public heard about for years was Lennon and McCartney, but George was the "class" of the outfit. Once the world got to know more about him, it was evident why he was typically so quiet: his talent and humanity spoke volumns about him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jegvt Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 I find myself watching the Concert For George quite often. I think it rates up there with The Last Waltz, another of my favorites. It's hard to believe it's been this many years since George left us. I love Billy Preston's version of My Sweet Lord and play it often. I also would have loved to have seen a version of "What Is Life" or "Crackerbox Palace" that night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had forgotten about this video entirely. It starts with the start of the 1979 Brazilian Grand Prix (with Ligier in the front row) at Interlagos, in Sao Paulo. A lot of Stewart, but a few shots of Fittipaldi as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
