Sinopse
Exceptionally moving but not the least bit sentimental, Concert for
George is a splendid tribute to the late George Harrison, whose
contributions to the Beatles were so often hidden in the long
shadows of John Lennon and Paul McCartney. A year to the day
after Harrison's November 29, 2001 death, Eric Clapton assembled
some musicians--people who had played with Harrison and known
him intimately, including McCartney, Ringo Starr, and Tom
Petty--to perform his music at London's Royal Albert Hall. They
take on not just the predictable ("My Sweet Lord" and "Something,"
beautifully sung by Billy Preston and Sir Paul, respectively), but
also lesser-known fare like "Old Brown Shoe" and "Beware of
Darkness," all to superbly empathetic effect. But the tune most
likely to make you misty-eyed is "While My Guitar Gently Weeps,"
which brings together three of the five musicians who played on
the original recording: Ringo on drums, Clapton replicating his
own classic solo, and McCartney playing piano and harmonizing with
Clapton's lead vocal. Concert for George enjoyed a brief theatrical
release, but even those who caught it on the big screen will delight
in this two-disc DVD edition. Disc 1 features the complete concert
(sans interview and rehearsal footage, but with a few additional
songs and in the original running order), while disc 2 contains the
theatrical version and some additional backstage and photo material.
All in all, a beautiful piece of work. Wish you were here, George--
but man, what a way to be missed.
