One of my favourite concert videos, and a terrific tribute.
You can tell it was all people George knew and loved. Really the only person missing was Bob.
I loved the Brown’s performances. Sam’s powerhouse Horse to the Water with Jools. God ! The lady has one helluva voice. And Joe’s I’ll See You in My Dreams. Impossible not to shed a tear in!

"Please don't bring your banjo back, I know where it's been.. I wasn't hardly gone a day, when it became the scene.. Banjos! Banjos! All the time, I can't forget that tune.. and if I ever see another banjo, I'm going out and buy a big balloon!"

Right. I’ll keep it then. Plus there would be the effort involved…

Offline I first saw it when it was streamed for free last year on YouTube for the 11th anniversary of George’s death. That was the first time I’d heard anything from “All Things Must Pass ” other than “My Sweet Lord .” I was immediately struck by “Isn’t It A Pity ” and, of course, “Beware Of Darkness .” And I remember asking a classmate “where have these songs been all my life?!”
The whole concert was so beautiful. It’s definitely on my list of one-day-to-owns.

Offline ^ Same here, first saw it last year and the DVD is hidden somewhere in the house (for Christmas)
I can’t even get through the first 10 seconds without welling up :/ “One year to the day” and the tears start rolling :'(
Any-hoo brilliant concert and I agree with Sam Brown’s performance being the best she blew everyone else out of the water!

Offline I thought her dad Joe Brown did pretty well.
I remember thinking NOOOOOO! They can’t let him finish the show! They must have something better than that to pull out. And here’s Joe with a ukelele……..
And then………..gentle musical magic. “I’ll see you in my Dreams”
I’d never played a Uke but I had one the next day……… and had the song off a couple of days later.

Not for me – I thought she was OK but liked a lot of other performances better.
[EDIT] Oh, and if you happen to like her performance, watch out, I think the CD doesn’t have it.

Offline Does anyone know why it was omitted from the CD? I thought that was strange.
I think my favorite performances are “All Things Must Pass ” and Billy Preston on “Isn’t It A Pity .”
As a side note, it kind of amuses me that the guitar Dhani plays seems almost as big as he.

I think that guitar is the same acoustic being played by Eric Clapton in the photos inside the Layla Double album.

Offline Thought I’d give this thread a friendly bump for some may not have checked this out yet, and the holidays are about paying tribute to those who are no longer with us, right? Agree wholeheartedly with pretty much everything said here, the only thing better than this would be a bonafide Beatles Reunion itself. I had a Sitar years ago, but unfortunately I live in the climate of a temperate rainforest and it soon began to warp within the first six months that my friend brought it back from India, eventhough it was kept in a hardshell case. It’s a very fragile instrument that was designed for a very dry climate for those thinking of picking one up, keep this in mind and take extra care to keep it dry (I wish I would’ve).
From start to finish (although I must confess that I usually skip the Intermission) this is a first rate music experience, even those who’ve been lukewarm to Indian Ragas in the past will likely be moved by what’s presented here, which was composed especially for the occasion by Ravi Shankar himself. For me, the highlights are too numerous to mention, so I’ll have to make it a toss-up between ‘Isn’t It A Pity ‘ & ‘All Things Must Pass ‘. Quite simply, one of the greatest concerts ever, period…:-)

Trcanberra, what have you decided to do with the A$400 cd player that doesn’t play properly? Are you keeping it or taking it back?
