Helloturia I have absolutely never seen anything like this movie before. You have to see this movie.

Ogosmith Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

Marva-nova Amazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.

Darin One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.

Erik Berthelot I have watched this performance so many times and I now realize these people have now aged 10 years since that show took place. Some (at least one of them) are gone now. RIP Billy Preston. The level of emotion felt throughout this production is like none other. You feel like you're watching the show as George himself must have seen it visiting down from above for the occasion. I know it sounds cheesy. You have to see it to understand. I agree with all the above comments and reviews, reminding some that the edited version of the show that starts with the band does not interrupt songs or show interviews. It can be watched as a complete concert.The camera work is SO non-intrusive it is breathtaking. You feel a little "zoomed in" at times but this can overlooked. Soundwise, the mastering is breathtaking. In my opinion, THE best work ever done for a live acoustic show, not even considering how many musicians play together at times. It is poignant, if there is such a word. Treat yourself with a complete surround of ultra high fidelity and you'll be astounded by the quality of this recording/mastering. The DTS soundtrack is to DIE for.Not to repeat the above reviews on specific songs, I have to add that the emotion is so tangible at times, I actually felt the genuine love all these musicians had for George and to have put it on film, and having caught it and protected it in the production is absolutely the work of masters. Thank you for this window to a unique event in time.

im_veritas_photo I have rented two different DVDs covering this 29.Nov.2002 event. I have been bowled over by all of it, with only a few minor exceptions.I have always thought that the George-Harrison-written songs were, by far, the best of the Beatles' big catalog, and his solo career song-writing and performing after the breakup of that seminal group need take a back seat to no one.These DVDs prove my hypothesis. Exhibit A. No other evidence required, in any court of musical fame. These are truly GREAT!Spoiler: I was aggravated at the appearance of the female backup vocalists in this event. They seemed to be vying for Self-Aggrandizing-Tart-Of-The-Year honors. The men were, for the most part, understated and played as a team, as befitted this Tribute for a deceased great musician; almost all performed without intrusive egos.Some of the women, however: Another story entirely. Sam(antha) Brown performed a knock-out lead vocal on "Horse To The Water" (George Harrison / Dhani Harrison), but her attire was so over-the-top ego-driven in-poor-taste, this definitely detracted from the cut. This, after all, was supposed to be a tribute to Harrison, not a low-brow contest to see which female could dress as close to a night-walker as possible...So, If it weren't for that niggling item, I'd have rated this a ten.Anyway, I'll most likely BUY these DVDs, a drastic step for me. This is because every song just gets better and better every time I watch it.

tpugh1 This is a concert, not in the traditional sense and what comes out of it far exceeds the output of your standard "concert". This is a group of close friends holding a delayed wake for a dearly loved lost friend, not a stop on some tour. The songs are familiar, yet new. The mixture of emotion that comes with the concert does soften the sound of the music a bit, but does not dampen the spirit of the concert. Who'd a' thought that someone could pick up a Ukuele and produce a beautiful rendition of I'll See You in My Dreams as did Joe Brown? If on some other far away plain, George Harrison was watching I'd bet he was pleased! It would be difficult to produce a better tribute to George Harrison than was this Concert!

jnnhd I wish I had been there. As a fan of the Beatles and all British music in the 60's, I was moved by the whole concert. The logistics that went into organising it would have been massive, but it came across as just a happening jamming session. The cameras were not at all intrusive, and captured the spirit of the night beautifully. No pompous wordy tributes to George, just an occasional few words here and thereI recognised the main musicians, but would have liked to know who all the others on the stage were.There were some brief interviews with Eric Clapton, Ravi Shankar, and Olivia Harrison but they were a bit jarring. I would have like to see slightly lengthier interviews and with the other musicians too, about how they fitted into George's life.
