The iconic Concert for George is going to see a cinematic release this weekend across Australia.
The show took place on November 29, 2002 - one year to the day after the death of the “quiet” Beatle, George Harrison and features music written by and/or loved by George performed by his close friends including Eric Clapton, Ringo Starr, Paul McCartney, Jools Holland, Jim Keltner, Gary Brooker (Procol Harem), Joe Brown, Jeff Lynne (ELO), Monty Python’s Flying Circus, Ravi Shankar’s Orchestra and more.
Upon it’s release, there was a film featuring backstage and rehearsal footage of the show on one disc and the full concert on the other. This cinematic release will be the film.
