The greatest movie ever!

A Masterpiece!

It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

The film may be flawed, but its message is not.
William Corden... read 'em and weep
The Show has been on PBS all this week and the sadness doesn't diminish with the passage of time.
It is an almost religious tribute to a man who was blessed with the rare gifts of talent and modesty.
Always my favourite , I remember playing his LP " Living in the Material World" until the needle wore out and then, strangely , putting it aside and not playing it again for years.
Hard to believe that Tom Petty and Billy Preston have since joined George in the Great Beyond, adding more poignancy to this latest viewing.
This is just an experience for the soul of anyone who grew up in the sixties and I could never get tired of watching it , listening to those special notes and having my heart broken over and over with the memory of those carefree times.

I can't really tell who is my favorite Beatle, or do I even have a favorite, but George is definitely in my top 4.Anyway, he was a great man and truly beloved among the people. Here we have a tribute concert for him and what a tribute it is! Paul, Ringo, his son Dhani, Eric Clapton, Jeff Lynne, Tom Petty, Billy Preston, Ravi Shankar... They were all there. It's great to see these guys paying tribute to one of the greatest songwriters there ever was (or ever will be) by playing some of his most memorable songs. There are those classics from the Beatle-era, like "While My Guitar Gently Weeps", his solo songs like "Beware of Darkness" and also a nice Traveling Wilburys-number "Handle With Care".If you're a fan of George and The Beatles, I guarantee you will love this.

The lineup of artists on this DVD is worth the price just to hear the emotion of the crowd when Paul McCartney appears. Try swallowing the lump in your throat when Paul starts singing "Something". Every artist has a song to commemorate the great George Harrison but it is Eric Clapton who drives this concert to the max. If you are a Beatles fan this one is for you and even if you are not, there are many other reasons to buy this one. Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers are simply sensational. Dhani's appearance is really quite spooky at times because he resembles his father so much BUT it doesn't overshadow the event. Ringo's 2 song tribute is simply wonderful. Great entertainment all round and a very moving tribute to a another great muso.

I first saw this concert on PBS and just had to have the DVD. This has got to be the greatest tribute show ever. Everyone did such a great job; the songs were sung by just the right people. Eric Clapton should be proud of himself. He put together a superb show. Dhani Harrison is a doll, a mini-George. Joe Brown--where has he been? What a great surprise! While My Guitar Gently Weeps was one of the highlights. Dhani was obviously moved by it and appeared to say something to that affect to EC at the end. EC then comforted Dhani as Joe sang I'll See You In My Dreams. It was all just beautiful. Thank you, Eric. Thank you all for putting this together for all George's fans.
