This review is from: Concert for George (Audio CD)
Arranged by Jeff Lynn (ELO, Travelling Willburys) and Eric Clapton as a tribute to George one year after his passing, this is a live performance in Albert Hall in London with studio-quality accoustics and all songs are written by George Harrison with just a couple exceptions. Rent the dvd video also for even better experience! My favorite is "I need you" performed by Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers. Great album with a dream team of Harrison-era contemporaries performing! Paul McCartney and Ringo were great but arguably upstaged by Billy Preston on the organ and lead vocal on "Isn't it a pity" and "My Sweet Lord."
