Eric Clapton - Concert for George

Review by Jim Edwards

Concert for George, the album by Eric Clapton, is a tribute to the late George Harrison, a member of the Beatles, who passed away in 2001. The album, which was recorded live at the Royal Albert Hall in London on November 29, 2002, features some of the biggest names in music, including Clapton, Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr, and Tom Petty.

The album is a collection of 19 tracks, including some of Harrison's greatest hits, such as "My Sweet Lord," "While My Guitar Gently Weeps," and "Here Comes the Sun." The performances are heartfelt and emotional, with each artist paying their respects to Harrison in their own unique way.

Clapton's guitar playing is, as always, outstanding, and his vocals on "If I Needed Someone" and "Wah-Wah" are particularly memorable. McCartney's rendition of "Something" is breathtaking, and Ringo Starr's performance of "Photograph" is a touching tribute to his friend and former bandmate.

The album also includes some lesser-known Harrison tracks, such as "I Want to Tell You" and "Old Brown Shoe," which are given new life by the talented musicians on stage.

Summary by Jim Edwards

Concert for George is a beautiful tribute to a musical legend. The performances are outstanding, and the emotion and love that went into the concert are palpable. This album is a must-have for any fan of George Harrison, the Beatles, or classic rock in general.
