Summary
PBS broadcast 'Concert for George,' a 2002 Royal Albert Hall tribute to George Harrison featuring Paul McCartney, Eric Clapton, Ringo Starr, and Tom Petty, in high-definition. HDTV Magazine highlighted the event as part of its daily HDTV program listings service for subscribers.
Rock
music's most celebrated musicians gathered at London's Royal
Albert Hall on November 29, 2002 to pay tribute to one of
their own, the legendary George Harrison, on the one-year
anniversary of his death. On that magical night, Harrison's
closest friends gathered to perform a collection of his
music for a live audience. Far more than a concert film,
CONCERT FOR GEORGE is a soulful cinematic tribute to a
musician whose vision transcended the ordinary and whose
talents contributed to a revolution in the music industry.
Under the musical direction of Harrison's longtime friend
Eric Clapton, the film captures an emotional gathering of
musicians including Jeff Lynne, Paul McCartney, Tom Petty
and the Heartbreakers, Billy Preston, and Ringo Starr. Truly
a rare moment in music history, this documentary showcases
these legends of music not likely to perform together on the
same stage again. CONCERT FOR GEORGE is masterfully directed
by famed British director David Leland, whose credits
include WISH YOU WERE HERE, HBO's BAND OF BROTHERS
television series, and The Traveling Wilburys video "Handle
with Care."
