Weekend Concert Series: Concert for George

One year after George Harrison died, a group of his musician friends gathered at Royal Albert Hall for a memorial concert.

This show begins with the Ravi Shankar orchestra and a few meditative pieces, followed by some Monty Python. The second half is a collage of Harrison tunes performed by his friends. Taxman by Tom Petty. If I Needed Someone by Eric Clapton. Photograph by Ringo. All Things Must Pass by Paul. It is that kind of show.

George fans will get a tear in their eye at some point while watching, for sure, but the celebration of Harrision musical contributions remains impressive. And heck, doesn’t Dhani look like his dad?
