The Concert For George
Continuing on with another benefit show. This time around it's 'The Concert For George'. This show was held on the anniversary of George Harrison's death. Organized by George's wife Olivia and son Dhani, under the musical direction of Eric Clapton and Jeff Lynne. The concert took place at Royal Albert Hall on November 29, 2002, with proceeds of the show going to the Material World Charitable Foundation. The album was split into two parts. The first part containing more of an Indian music flair with Ravi Shankar's daughter Anoushka playing a few numbers. After a interlude, the band kicks into high gear playing some of George's hits. The band included the likes of, Eric Clapton, Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr, Billy Preston, Jeff Lynne, Tom Petty, Dhani Harrison, Albert Lee, Joe Brown, Jools Holland and Jim Capaldi.Again one of the better live shows that you will ever hear, this is simply a must listen to.
