I bought Concert for George a couple days ago and I thing it was a wonderful tribute to George Harrison. All the performers did excellent and I found out Tom Hanks was one of the mounties when they sang the Lumberjack Song.
Yes, I also picked it up a couple months ago, it looked interesting. It's quite the performance. I loved all the performers(and was quite over joyed to see petty involved).
I got it last year. The DVD package is excellent, with one disc of the full concert and the second disc of the feature film that had theatrical release some time after the concert.
Highlights:
Handle with Care with Tom Petty and Jeff Lynne Photograph with Ringo Something & All Things Must Pass with Paul While My Guitar Gently Weeps with Clapton on guitar and Paul on piano Isn't It A pity with Billy Preston Here Comes The Sun with Joe Brown Taxman by Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers
and many more
I cannot recommend this DVD highly enough. It's just brilliant.
I wonder should I call you but I know what you'd do You'd say I'm putting you on But it's no joke it's doing me harm.... Tell me tell me tell me come on tell me the answer You may be a lover but you ain't no dancer.... When I get near you The games begin to drag me down It's alright I'll make you maybe next time around.... I wonder where you are tonight and why I'm by myself...
I wrote a rave review for this on Amazon. It's such a wonderful, moving performance. I can't watch it sitting, either. Once the bands come in, I have to be on my feet for the rest.

Absolutely, Paul. His speech at the end-- short, sweet, and dignified. Both Dhani and Olivia rock.

Seriously, I try to buy things whenever I can. What else will keep my favorite artists in business? That said, I have bought several albums after listening to them through the kindness of strangers.
