"Concert For George" is the epitomy of how an artist tribute should be executed. This all-star bow to George Harrison captures his very essence. Apart from timeless music, one quickly notices the sterling arrangements, performances and quality of presentation. The DVD is a technical marvel and
could have easily been a 3 disc set had they decided to include "Crackerbox Palace", "This Song", "Blow Away", "Cheer Down", "When We Was Fab" and more of George's Beatle songs. I'd gladly pay another $20.00 for an expanded set! |

| 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. |

| 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! |

| 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. |

| Have the DVD, bought the "soundtrack" for "Horse To Water" and guess what? IT'S NOT ON IT!!! What kind of "soundtrack" would eliminate, what to me, was one of the highlights of the concert (not to mention, "I'll See You In My Dreams"!) VERY DISAPPOINTED!!! This has ruined what would have been a "Classic CD" to me. Should have named this CD, "SELECTIONS from the CONCERT FOR GEORGE"... STILL 5 stars! |

| Disc 2 is a fabulous collection of music by artists paying tribue to the music of George. It is wonderful music-I would recommend it to anyone who loves the Beatles work and the music that George loved. |

| The collection of talent and the performances on this 2-disc piece of work are exceptional. A superb tribute to an extraordinary artist. Harrison's ability and range were a marvelous contribution to music. Disc 2 alone is worth the bucks. |

| So many people know GH that to add comment is hard, but this tribute concert reveals how Harrison affected the community of English players in his life - It's also great to hear versions of his songs that while true to form, come off in a new light as done by the Clapton-led band and remind us how prolific and original George was once he got out from under the shadow of John and Paul - he started humbly yet persisted with amazing discipline to create his own sound and style, which while not everyone's cup of tea, stands alone as significant work in the evolution of pop rock in the 20th century - may he rest in peace |

George set me on a path when I was a brat, trying to figure things out. What an exquisite appreciation, from his profane to his holy to his rock and roll!
I'm still on the path, gentle, silly, forgiving, celebratory....
As the Dalai Lama said, "My religion is Kindness".
Thank you, George, again and again and again! |
