VA - Concert for George (2003, Remastered 2018 2-CD)ak320

Performed on November 29, 2002, a year after Harrison’s passing, Concert for George was a tribute to his life and career as only his best friends and most notable collaborators could do. Anoushka Shankar (daughter of renowned sitarist Ravi Shankar, George’s longtime friend and collaborator) first led a set of Indian music, in keeping with Harrison’s Hindu beliefs. From there, a brief set from surviving members of comedy troupe Monty Python (with a guest appearance from Tom Hanks) took place; then it was an all-star set of George’s great rock songs, performed by Jeff Lynne, Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers (Lynne & Petty were one of Harrison’s bandmates in the Traveling Wilburys), Eric Clapton, Billy Preston, Gary Brooker of Procol Harum, British rocker Joe Brown.
