Free Music Review: what..no Sam Brown?
Hit: 5 Stars
What a great concert performance this was. The CD & DVD is the next best thing to being there. Rarely has so many great artists been put together to produce such a show. You can't go wrong with Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr, Eric Clapton, Tom Petty..and was also completely blown away by Joe Brown's performances.There is only one quip i have with this, and i'm sure you already know what that is. I do not understand why the label would leave off Sam Brown's "Horse To Water." Not only was that one of the highlights of the show, but it was one of the best performances i have ever seen or heard.
After all, this is a 2-CD set. I don't understand why they couldn't fit just one more song on here. Hopefully the record company will see the error of it's ways, and will re-release it someday with this song.
Definitely worth the $ for this compilation, though.
Free Music Review: Simply wonderful!

I first saw the big screen version of the concert sometime in October 2003. And I said to myself, got to have the DVD.I used to take George's songs for granted when I listen to them from a Beatle or a solo album. But this concert, performed by his friends, highlighted some of his great compositions and made them so special. What could go wrong when you have musicians like Eric Clapton, Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr, Jeff Lynne, Sam Brown, Anoushka Shankar, Tom Petty, Billy Preston, Dhani Harrison and others all in one stage, giving all they got for the benefit of one beautiful friend (and father) - George Harrison.
This DVD/CD is better seen first than heard. One needs to see the emotion as each artist performs a number to realize the beauty of this wonderful and star-studded event.
Thanks George for the great gift of music that you left us.
Free Music Review: George Harrison concert DVD.
Hit: 5 Stars
I'm 12. My mom and dad always talk about the Beatles. Some of my friends do to. When my mom and dad play them I leave cause I think they're old. So my mom was playing the DVD and I was listening to one of the songs and like I couldn't beleive how cool it sounded. I went in and saw this fox singing so I listened to it all. It's good. Her name was Sam Brown. (My dad's stereo is killer to so that helps.) My mom was so into it. She kept stopping it and telling me all about who did what, telling me what the words were and it was fun. Everyone playing was so serious and it isn't like cool really but it sounds good. I guess it was a lot of English people who are like so European. I guess I like the Beatles and George Harrison more now. My mom cept crying.
I going to give it to my Uncle for his birthday. My Uncle's cool too.
I'm RC.
Free Music Review: INCREDIBLE
Hit: 5 Stars
...PAUL WAS VERY CLOSE TO GEORGE AND DIDN'T INTERUPT ANYONE! McCARTNEY IS NOT A "PUBLICITY HOUND" HE IS ONE OF IF NOT THE BIGGEST MUSICAL INFULENCES EVER! ERIC CLAPTON AND DHANI HARRISON ARRANGED THE CONCERT SO THEY HAD PAUL COME IN WHEN HE DID. I THINK THE WHOLE CONCERT IS INCREDIBLE! I LOVE ALL THE SONGS. IT IS AMAZING TO THINK ABOUT HOW MANY PEOPLE GEORGE HARRISON HAS TOUCHED, HOW MANY PEOPLE HE HAS INFLUNENCED. HE WILL BE GREATLY MISSED. THERE WILL ALWAYS AND ONLY BE ONE GEORGE HARRISON. HE AND THE BEATLES DID EVERYTHING FOR MUSIC AND I DON'T THINK SOME PEOPLE REALIZE HOW INCREDIBLE A GUITARIST. EASILY IN THE TOP THREE IN THE WORLD. RUN OUT AND BUY THE CD AND DVD TODAY. IT HAS SOMETHING FOR EVERYONE. PAUL McCARTNEY, RINGO STARR, ERIC CLAPTON, BILLY PRESTON, AND OF COURSE, MONTY PYTHON. A GREAT WAY TO HONOR ONE OF MUSICS FINESTS.Free Music Review: They just couldn't do it any better!

I loved the DVD so much that I had to buy the CD too.All songs are so close to the actual original recordings as far as the guitar riffs and arrangements. Kudos for the music arrangers for not interpreting the songs their way but keeping the songs the way George wanted us to hear them.The musicans are OUTSTANDING. It is obvious that Eric Clapton gets emotional while playing "While My Guitar Gently Weeps". My favorites are "I Need You" by Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers", "My Sweet Lord" by Billy Preston, "Honey Don't" by Ringo, and Something has a most unusual twist by McCartney and Clapton. I agree with another reviewer that I could have done without McCartney's interruption of Joe Brown. Paul seems to be pompous now. Needs to get the stick out!
