[Slowhand] Concert for George

[Abt, Grant]

DeltaNick,

I'd highly recommend that you view the whole Concert for George. Like any
piece of work, the only way to really judge is to see it (or hear it) in
it's entirety. Even if you don't particularly like the recorded versions of
GH's songs, i think this concert is brilliant because the live feelings and
emotions are different and even enhanced because of the artists playing
them, like Billy Preston. Billy adds his always brilliant organ (and vocals)
to the mix and makes songs like Isn't It A Pity really great. Even Ringo
Starr does a great version of Photograph, a song i'd heard before but not
really noticed, until now. While i love EC and think his arrangement of the
concert was a major part of it's success, it was the performances from some
of the lesser known artists that were the real highlights, like Joe Brown.
His ukelele performance of I'll See You In My Dreams, which closes the film,
is a really emotional moment. I hadn't heard this song before but it gaves
me the chills. Watching this film made me go back to GH's masterpiece, All
Things Must Pass and re-acquaint myself with the album.

Go on, give it another try, you know you want to... :-)

Cheers,

Grant.
