It is a two disc set, I didn't like the number one disc because it was Indian Sitar Music which is not very good,the second disc is the actual concert with a lot of really good stars and I enjoyed it.

This is one of the best concerts I have ever seen/listened to! I rented the DVD from Netflix and played it constantly for 4 days - so now when I listen to the CD I can picture all the participants and their instruments! I thought I was getting the DVD when I ordered, but my mistake. So now I will have to find the DVD and use the CD in my auto! Every musician that plays George's tunes is a perfect match in my opinion. Disappointed that the songs with Sam Brown & Jools Holland were not on this set. I was not familiar with Sam Brown or Jools Holland (so I ordered other CD's featuring just them) I have received Jools "Swing" album and does it ever make me want to dance. Looking forward to receiving Sam Brown's as "she" totally rocks on this Harrison tribute with "Horse to the Water" (need to get the DVD to view/hear this one and you don't want to miss it! If you can sit through this tune, better check your pulse, you might want to call the morgue!) Loved Joe Brown & Jeff Lynne & of course, Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers! The last few songs are a jam session as all the musicans are playing along (3 sets of drums, lost track ot the guitarists!etc. the percussionist (Ray Cooper) is a show all by himself! The closing song (Joe Brown singing "I'll see you in my dreams" will linger with you for days (maybe longer)! This is shortened version of the actual Concert, will have to check my list of songs they played to see what other are left off, but if you enjoy being moved both physically & spiritually - order the CD or better yet the DVD!Read full review
THE CONCERT FOR GEORGE (GEORGE HARRISON) The concert was a touching tribute for a musician who has touched just about everybody's life. If you had ears and a radio, CD player, record player, cassette deck, etc, then you heard this guy either alone or with the Beatles. He was the quiet one who let his musical talent and abilty speak for him. This is the concert DVD showing the many fellow musicians, family, and friends who felt it important to play his music in his honor...and honor him they did. It is a beautiful and heartfelt tribute...it should be seen and owned by anyone who cares about great music. BlueRick blues u can use
This is a great CD version of the even greater DVD of the benefit concert George Harrison's friends put on at Royal Albert Hall, one year after his death, There are 2 discs: One of Ravi Shankar's performance; the other contains George's creations performed by his buds. One negative: a handful of George's songs found on the DVD are missing from this CD. Bummer. Great sound for a live performance.
If you're a Harrison fan, like me, you are going to love this cd. Everyone's performance is top notch, from Monty Python to Joe Brown and everyone in between!!
