Fanstastisches memorial concert

When the end of November 2002, numerous musical companions of George Harrison and under the musical direction of Eric Clapton met to worthily celebrate its one-year anniversary with a commemorative concert, the protagonists knew well not that they were taking a piece of musical time history . Write
Jeff Lynn (ELO), Gary Brooker, Joe Brown, Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, Ringo Star, Paul McCartney, Billy Preston and of course creative director and friend Eric Clapton himself ... the illustrious guest list of participating musicians is unparalleled. After a long part of Indian music, which might be a little seems strange, however, is inseparably connected with George Harrison, follow the sometimes more, sometimes less known titles of the former Beatle. The pieces are thereby imposing, vivid and well matched dargeboten- every now and then interrupted by intimate, but this never cheesy acting homages to George Harrison, who hovers in the form of a larger than life image on the stage. Even if you can see this only on the DVD, so this special atmosphere is still "pass" through the music ... Playing tips and highlights of the concert are difficult herauszuschälen, the songs of the former Beatle from the Beatles era and thereafter are from one to Part beguiling ease of catchy harmonies and at least indirectly influenced by the Far Eastern philosophy, Harrison turned to towards the end of his Bealtles time. The absolute highlight and part of the great general music history to be expected, as McCartney with his Okulele the title "Something" intones, tells a brief history and the entire crowd to class musicians (including 3 drummers ..) miteinstimmt in this most wonderful of all Harrison title , Goosebumps ... The same goes for "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" and the wonderful soulful guitar of Eric Clapton, who played already then 34 (!) Years ago on the White Album solo. Then Harrison's best-known song, the gospel "My Sweet Lord" towards the end - also performed very atmospheric. A bit of a shame alone that the title "Horse to the Water", sung by Sam Brown, unlike the DVD (also highly recommended!) As well as two successful fehlt- sketches of Monty Python comedy troupe. Conclusion: A great concert, a piece of music history, a dignified and never kitschy commemorate the long misunderstood and underrated "3. Beatle" in the way that the total event might actually conjure up only the British to the stage ...
