Free Music Notes for Concert for George
Free Music Review: Make This DVD #1
Hit: 5 Stars
What can I say about this moving tribute to a true artist? Perfection in every detail, from the song selection to the artists to the sound and editing this is the kind of celebration George deserved. There is true emotion while George's friends play and sing his music. While My Guitar Gently Weeps has Eric Clapton on the verge of tears as well. For an even more powerful experience, listen to All Things Must Pass, 30th Anniversary Edition (CD)after you watch the DVD. You will not be able to stop listening to either one. Dhani's presence on the stage throughout (compare him to George's picture onstage) will move you.Make this DVD #1 on Amazon's sales list- it will remind you of an era when music was made for its pure joy, not just commercial value.
Hail and Farewell, George.
Free Music Review: Excellent
Hit: 5 Stars
I can only add to the positive reviews to this cd. Joe Brown is great as is Clapton, Petty, Ringo and Paul. Jeff Lynne's Inner Light version is a highlight. Paul's comment at the end on the DVD (that all the Paul bashers are bringing up) was simply relating a cute comment that Olivia Harrison had made about Dhani. It was appropriate and fun. Too bad that many of the "fans" continue to bash Paul. George told us to "love one another," perhaps, we should have more respect for one of George's colleagues who George ultimately made peace with.
Paul's performances were great, he shared the stage graciously with Clapton on Something and While My Guitar Gently Weeps.
The only negative to the Cd is the exclusion of Horse to Water.
Free Music Review: The Wait is Over!!!
Hit: 5 Stars
5 star rating - truly moving. the highlights
* Jeff Lynne's reading on THE INNER LIGHT (do check it out, it is from disc one)
* Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers take on TAXMAN
* Eric Clapton, Billy Preston and all on ISN'T IT A PITY - (I think the stand out performance)
too bad Paul McCartney is becoming such a pampered publicity hound. of course he had to be the last guest to join the band on stage. also check out the end when he interupts Joe Brown on the finale. this you will see on the DVD. he just had to jump in front of the microphone to make one last stupid comment.
The DVD includes one track that didn't make it onto the CD which i thought was pretty good too!
If anyone knows why Bob Dylan wasn't there I would like to know.
Free Music Review: gift to a gardener
Hit: 5 Stars
When one hears to these amazing tracks it brings joy and saddess to the listener. Joy at hearing this wonderful gift the performers give to there friend George, and saddess for the reminder of what the world lost all too soon. The performers which include Paul McCartney, Billy Preston, Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers and Eric Clapton, allow through their preformances the true star of the night to shine,George's remarkable work. Probably the most moving of the performances come from Jeff Lynne,George's partner in crime in the latter years of his career.In Lynne's singing of "Give Me Peace on Earth" and "I Want to Tell You" you hear the love and the loss Lynne feels over the loss of his friend.
Free Music Review: Amazing Tribute to George!
Hit: 5 Stars
If you are a fan of George this is a must-buy CD. Every cut on side two is awesome. Best cuts: Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers cover of "I Need You," complete with a jangly Rickenbacker sound; Paul's ukulele version of "Something," with Eric Clapton taking over in the middle; Petty, Jeff Lynne and George's son Dhani singing "Handle With Care" (where was Bob Dylan?); and Ringo's "Photograph." Side one is interesting--if you recall the Concert For Bangladesh and George's facination with Indian music (ie: Inner Light) you'll give it a play or two. Thanks to all the musicians for putting together such a wonderful tribute to a great individual!
