CONCERT for GEORGE - Albert Hall November 29 2002

2 years ago

On November 29, 2002, a year after his death, a tribute concert for George Harrison was held at Albert Hall in London. Friends and family gathered to play his songs, and it was an impressive roster: Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr, Billy Preston, Tom Petty, and Eric Clapton, who also served as musical director, took center stage, but George's son Dhani Harrison was also there, as was Ravi Shankar's daughter Anoushka, early British rock & roller Joe Brown, and Gary Brooker. Unlike many all-star lineups, everybody had a close personal connection to George.
George Harrison's friends, family, and bandmates unite for a tribute concert on the one-year anniversary of his death.
