Leave your thoughts about Concert for George.
| Washington PostRichard HarringtonIt offers a special "something" for everyone who ever appreciated the Quiet Beatle's musical gifts and spiritual explorations. |
| Boston GlobeTy BurrIt's spookily touching to see this massed group of former rock gods gathered to honor one of their fallen. Bald spots and graying shags predominate; the giant velvet lapels of 1969 have given way to sensible sport coats; the granny glasses are for real. |
| The New York TimesStephen HoldenThe sweet, solemn music of George Harrison, who died two years ago, has rarely sounded more majestic than in the sweeping performances of the enlarged star-studded band that gathered in London at Royal Albert Hall on Nov. 29 to commemorate his legacy. |
| New York Magazine (Vulture)Peter RainerThe jamboree is beautifully shot and directed, by Chris Menges and David Leland respectively, and there is a haunting touch: the presence of Georges son, Dhani, on guitar, looking near-identical to his dad in his twenties. |
| VarietyRonnie ScheibFilm gathers together only those who knew, loved and made music with "the quiet Beatle." |
| Village VoiceEd ParkBoth a heartwarming tribute to the late Beatle and a study of hair patterns in the aging British male, Concert for George, recorded at the Royal Albert Hall a year to the day after Harrison's death, manages both reverence and joy. |
| L.A. WeeklyChuck WilsonThis filmed record is a musical bliss-out. |
| The Hollywood ReporterFrank ScheckIt provides both deep musical pleasures and a touching farewell to the former Beatle. |
| New York Daily NewsJami BernardOf them all, only McCartney looks out of place, perhaps mistaking the venue for Vegas. There in a nutshell could be the answer to why the Beatles broke up. |
| TV Guide MagazineMaitland McDonaghAnyone who remembers Harrison fondly will enjoy this musical tribute, though it assumes a level of familiarity with Harrison's associates that not all viewers will have. |
