  • In case you've never seen it, it's one of the most phenomenal concerts ever filmed. Royal Albert Hall, exactly one year after his passing, Master of Ceremonies is Eric Clapton; first few songs are Indian music written by Ravi Shankar (first song played by his daughter Anoushka, Clapton jams on acoustic guitar on one long sweet piece); there's a skit by Monty Python, then an all-star band led by Clapton, featuring George's son Dhani, and appearances by Jeff Lynne, Tom Petty & the HBs, Billy Preston,Ringo, Paul, and assorted other greats, all playing George Beatles and solo material. Gorgeous film, legendary performances.

    I've just begun to watch the video and it's starting off awfully well! :)

    Concert For George is very good, I would definitely recommend it. A lot of great artists came together to celebrate his life and music.
