Just wondering if anyone has seen the tribute concert for George Harrison featuring Clapton and Bob Dylan and company?

I got the DVD yesterday. It is phenominal overall. Never maudlin, never heavy handed, but it did make me said for my youth and even sadder at the loss of George. I was much more touched by this music watching than the concert than simply listening to the CD.
The arrangements are beautiful. Bob Dylan is the one missing friend in this concert. He was on tour. Dhani plays on all the George songs. The piece written by Ravi Shankar in honor of George and played by his daughter is brilliant. Amazingly, "Wah Wah," features all the musicians together (including Klaus on bass) and is the richest song in the show in my view.
Near the end Paul/Faul says "I was talking to Olivia and she said with Dhani up here it looks like George got younger and you all got old." Dhani is amazingly like George, even in his mannerisms.
I highly recommend it to everyone, not just George or Beatles fans. It is incrredible music.

I'm listening to the CD right now, actually. There's some great stuff on it, like Billy Preston's wonderful take on "My Sweet Lord" and Faul and Eric Clapton's version of "While My Guitar Gently Weeps."
It kind of makes me sad there was never a tribute to James Paul like this.

I've seened the commericals...I have a question though. There is a young guitar player there who resembles George, possibly his relative...? His son, Dhani. He looks so much like his father, it's haunting.

It kind of makes me sad there was never a tribute to James Paul like this. Billy Preston had an amazing voice. When he sang Isn't it a Pity I got goosebumps He was also an amazing Pianist. He toured with Clapton, after Concert for George, It was so sad when he died
