Last night Venetia and I went to a George Harrison tribute concert. It wasn’t one of those tribute shows where you feel as if you are watching the real person. There was no “George” character in the band, but they just played his music and told his story as they went along.
It’s funny, but although everyone of my generation seems to have a favourite Beatle (mine was John), I don’t remember anyone saying George was their favourite. Maybe that’s why most of us don’t realize just how prolific a songwriter he really was, and why he’s so highly respected in the music world.
I shot this little video near the beginning, as it’s one of the songs we all remember. Then I just put my phone away and enjoyed the concert. I hope you enjoy the clip.
We had a lot of fun! Great band and we were guests of the sound engineer! Thanks to Viggo!
Yes, always nice to be a guest!
I love all the Beatles’ songs. I was a Paul fan.
Interestingly, though, a lot of George’s music is not Beatles music, but written and produced independently. Enjoyed hearing it all.
