In 1992 George Harrison went on tour, persuaded and joined by Eric Clapton, after he vowed he never would again after the failure of a tour within the 1980s.
The result is this CD, and an excellent package it is, too.
It is a superb overview of George's career, with some of his best Beatles tracks mixed wth excellent solo songs. The songs sound as good, some even better than when they were released, with little known classics, such as If I Needed Someone and Old Brown Shoe. His voice sounds amazing, it seems to have gotten better as he has gotten older. The highlights of the album are without a doubt the amazing versions of Something and While my Guitar with new solos by Eric Clapton. This beats Sir Paul McCartneys excellent live album - Tripping The Live Fantastic, hands down. If you want to hear a good solo Beatle album, choose this, its only got half the tracks TTLF has, but they're all amazingly good and you will want to listen to them again and again.

I actually obtained this version through teh box set and already owned the originally relaeased CD from 1992 so you can guess I'm a fan. The make of the album spanning the years from Beatle hits through to solo hits works on many levels. Both Geroge and Eric's guitar work is sensational on "Something" and Eric is certainly credited on my copies. The finale of Isn't it a pity through to Roll Over Beethoven is true masterclass.

This is a solid live collection of George's Beatles and solo
material with Eric Clapton and his Band, dating from 1991. The live sound is good and it doesn't sound like it was over-dubbed like mad to fix it up, as was the case with some other high profile alleged 'live' albums which shall remain nameless.
The playing is marvellous and George is in excellent voice. 'Roll Over Beethoven' and 'Devil's Radio' are highlights, with the only minus side of the set some awful 'shoo-wop' backing vocals on 'While My Guitar Gently Weeps' which really grate.
Eric contributes nice backing vocals and subdued, tasteful guitar licks. These guys were great friends, and it shows on these CDs.
Four songs from this tour can be found on the Dark Horse DVD (that may not be the exact title)so perhaps a complete show is coming from the Harrison Estate? Please?
Well worth a purchase.
