It was incredible.  I really love that Joe Brown guy.  I've never heard of him (I guess he's mostly known in the UK), but I loved his version of Here Comes The Sun and That's The Way It Goes.  And if the uke song at the end doesn't bring a tear to your eye, you're made of stone.

Of course, Clapton and Macca ruled.  Actaully, I enjoyed everything.  I thought everybody really seemed to be there for the right reason.  It wasn't about individual egos.  It was about George, as it should be.

Sounds very cool! I would like to see that sometime=)

I saw it last night on PBS! I Loved it! Isn't Dhani awesome? I mean he looks jus tlike george.. Kinda makes me sad.

I tried solidly for 4 hours to get tickets for that concert from very second the went on sale the only phone line was engaged. When I finally did get through, they told me they had all sold out - I was gutted! Hmmmm... 6,000 sold over the phone in less than 4 hours... I don't think so! 

The next day, there were loads of tickets on eBay being sold for phenominal amounts! I was well pissed off to say the least - this was supposed to be a charity event! How did all those touts get so many tickets? Someone somewhere got very rich from this concert, and has a lot to answer for!!!!

Because of that, I never bought the concert for George DVD. I will someday!

Joe Brown was one of the UKs early Rock and Roll singers - he was actually a very accomplished guitarist and George was a big fan! The Beatles used to do a Joe Brown song in their set, with George on vocals, called A Picture Of You.

Later, Joe and George became very good friends - it was a really nice tribute to George that Joe played at George's memorial concert.

Thanks for the info.  I didn't know any of that.  I've never heard of him.  He did a great job, though.

fabulous concert!  fav's for me were the beautifully delivered "beware of darkness" by clapton, and the wonderful evolution of "something"- from a simple ukulele, to a classy blues number.

Macca behaved very well: no limelight-hogging this time. I've read that a lot of people were surprised that he could restrain himself so!

I saw it on TV a few nights ago. Dhani looks so much like George. Didn't there seem to be quite a lot of people playing guitar on stage?

Yep, I saw a picture of him in a book, and suddenly I thought he was George! I read the title then.

You'll also be interested to know that Joe Brown's daughter is the singer with Jools Holland (Horse to Water).

That's right - Sam Brown. She had a hit song here (UK) back in the early 1990's called "Stop" - she's got a very soulful voice and likes to record her vocals in one take apparently.

Apparently he was sick for the last few months beforw the show.


There's a great quote on the second disc by dhani "I remember going to the first practice and suddenly being struck by the fact that i was playing by 8 other guitarists; so I turned around to get some solice, saw the 4 drummers, and nearly fell over with shock."
