Hello,
After seeing Concert for George (the film) and hearing
bits of Mayall 70th birthday concert I must say, that
on any level Concert for George is the one to check
out.
John Mayall has made his mark on British Blues and the
career of Clapton, but George's importance on modern
music has been vast by comparison. 
Mr. Mayall has stayed pretty much to his 60's blues
roots and that's his choice, but for me it sounds a
bit bland, white blues played in his style seems to be
a bit dispirited and isn't that soulful IMHO. I hope
the DVD makes things sound more lively.
On the other hand, the Concert for George is just
great and full of love and gratitude for George.
Don't believe what DeltaNick says, apart from Beano he
seems to have little respect for other parts of
Clapton's great career;*)

Ande
