Format:Audio CD
This two disc set is the soundtrack for one of the best gigs I have ever seen. I remember hearing about the Concert for George on the night it went ahead and feeling awful because I did not have (nor could I find) a ticket to go. The line up is magnificent - Eric Clapton, Jeff Lynne, Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr, Billy Preston are among the talent on display here - and the songs (which are virtually all George Harrison penned) are extraordinary. To pick out highlights is almost impossible - but Billy Preston singing 'Isn't it a Pity', McCartney playing 'Something' on a ukele, and Joe Brown's smiling performances are standout.
The first disc features the first half of the concert itself - Raavi Shankar, his talented daughter and a magnificent Indian Orchestra play some unique pieces written especially for this occasion and it is truly breathtaking - tragically perhaps we are not treated to the Monty Python songs that followed it in the concert itself (and the DVD). The second disc is why I really bought it though - I have enormous admiration for the first section of the concert, but what follows is magnificent - the stage is filled with talented musicians and thanks to the very underplayed introductions from Eric Clapton (who was responsible for the evening) there is no room for ego. This assures the real star of the evening is the man who gave the world such great music - George Harrison.
Bravo to all involved.

What a beautiful concert this was! The Royal Albert Hall was vibrating with love for George and all the performers gave their absolute best. Producer Jeff Lynne mentioned how difficult it was to mix the recordings, but I am sure he succeeded beautifully. Buy this album to show your appreciation for dear George and his beautiful music!

Having been fortunate enough to have been at this event, this CD ( and the accompanying "must have" DVD ) are an excellent reminder of an unforgettable concert. Not usually a fan of live recordings, I have to say that the sound quality of this CD is superb, every instrument is perfectly clear. As you can see, the line up was outstanding, the "Western music" half of the concert commencing with Eric Clapton, building up throughJeff Lynne, Tom Petty and on to Ringo Starr and Paul McCartney, at no time attempting to be any sort of Beatles reunion, merely ( not that that word can do this show justice ! ) an amazing "All Star" tribute, exceptionally well rehearsed, to an artist whose musical legacy is much more significant than most of us tend to remember. You may not be a big fan of the Indian segment of this concert, but I highly recommend this whole package. Buy it, you will not be disappointed ! Paul McCartney and Eric Clapton's "Something" is the highlight for me.

Disappointed
Half of this concert is devoted to Indian music which is fine if you are a fan (or if you are in an Indian restaurant) but more of George Harrison's music is what was expected. Read more

Music for george
A very enjoyable CD, I hadnt realised how much music was attributable to George. Well worth a listen.

The greatest band ever?
This is not only a wonderful tribute to George but maybe the greatest gathering of talent on one stage...just consider the line up of guitarists and drummers. Read more

Brilliant addition to the DVD - now we can listen in the car!
Bought the DVD previously as a gift because I couldn't find a CD of the concert. The DVD was good but not really as easy to flick through as between tracks on a CD so was thrilled... Read more

A Magical Night
I'm embarrased to say that the main reason that I got this CD was because it features Jeff Lynne who's music I worship. Read more
