www.nyunews.com ‘Concert for George’ Celebrates Harrison’s 75th Birthday By Devanshi Khetarpal, Staff Writer February 28, 2018 Courtesy of Concert for George Poster for "Concert for George," opening this Wednesday at Village East Cinema.
In 2002, a year after the Beatles’ lead guitarist George Harrison’s death, his wife Olivia Harrison and friend Eric Clapton organized a concert in his name. The concert was filmed, and in honor of Harrison’s 75th birthday, the resulting film, “Concert for George,” will be shown in theaters for the first time in select locations around the country.
London’s Royal Albert Hall held the concert on Nov. 29, 2002, and it featured a dazzling lineup of performers including Clapton himself, Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr, Jools Holland, Jeff Lynne, Joe Brown, Dhani Harrison, Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, Ray Cooper, Sam Brown, Billy Preston, Mounties, as well as Anoushka and Ravi Shankar. For the film’s reissue — it was originally released on DVD in 2003 — it has been remastered in 5.1 surround sound.
Each performer honored Harrison in a unique way and brought their own energy to his songs. The artists’ personal memories with Harrison seemed to make their way into every number.
Harrison’s portrait, which hung in the background, not only emanated a stunning visual effect, but also invoked his presence. Even Shankar remarked, “Dear friends, I strongly believe George is here tonight.”
Directed by David Leland, the film is shot in a unique way. Even when the camera zooms in on the performers, the background remains in of focus.
Several shots highlight the audience with their heads bobbing and hands clapping with excitement and energy. The film also shows a bird’s-eye view of the concert hall several times as if to imply how Harrison’s memory engulfs everyone. The camera focuses on each musician on stage which successfully captures the energy of the concert throughout the film.
Small behind-the-scenes snippets of the musicians showcase how intimately and passionately the performers worked to honor Harrison. Each performer was remarkably different from the rest, and they all brought their own distinct flavour to the concert. Their collective remembrance of Harrison was undoubtedly heartfelt.
“Concert for George” opens at Village East Cinema on Feb. 28.

ABRAMORAMA LONDON — Paul McCartney paid tribute to his former bandmate, George Harrison, on Sunday, which would have been Harrison's 75th birthday. Harrison died of cancer in 2001 at the age of 58. Harrison's family also remembered the guitarist on social media. "Happy Birthday Georgie. Wonderful memories," McCartney tweeted Sunday along with a black and white photograph of the two of them taken during the Beatlemania days.
His widow, Olivia Harrison, and his son, Dhani Harrison, tweeted an invitation for fans to celebrate George's birthday by watching a video of Billy Preston and Eric Clapton performing the Harrison song "Isn't It a Pity" at the star-studded Concert for George in 2002.
Olivia & Dhani invite you to join them in celebrating what would have been George's 75th Birthday today, by watching this performance of one of his loveliest songs, Isn't It A Pity, here performed by his friends at the #ConcertforGeorge. Watch: https://t.co/jylC6eg9T5pic.twitter.com/l9lVWnipQT
Harrison was the youngest Beatle, and credited with introducing the other Beatles to Eastern mysticism and bringing the sitar into rock and roll. McCartney and Ringo Starr are the only surviving members of the English band that rocketed to global fame in the 1960s. John Lennon was shot to death in 1980.

Former Beatle George Harrison would have turned 75 on Sunday and fellow guitarist Little Steven Van Zandt, from the E Street Band, is setting his alarm to celebrate.
Van Zandt, along with Bachman Turner Overdrive founder Randy Bachman and Ringo Starr’s musical director Mark Rivera, are meeting at E. 32nd St. venue The Cutting Room at 8 a.m. on Sunday for a visit with Ken Dashow, who hosts “Breakfast With The Beatles” on Q104.3.
“They will be telling their favorite George stories and strapping on some guitars to jam to a few Beatles tunes,” according to an insider tied to the appearance.

www.nbcnewyork.com George Harrison: 75 Years and Beyond The anniversary of the youngest Beatle's birth brings a tribute concert rerelease and an opportunity to celebrate his legacy. By Jere Hester Published Feb 22, 2018
This February 11, 1964 photo provided by Christie's auction house, from a collection of photos of The Beatles shot by photographer Mike Mitchell at the Washington Coliseum in Washington, D.C., shows George Harrison during the group's first US concert, two days after their Ed Sullivan appearance. The concert photos, taken when the photographer was just 18 years old, will be auctioned by Christie's in their sale "The Beatles Illuminated: The Discovered Works of Mike Mitchell," in New York on July 20, 2011.
The 2002 George Harrison tribute concert brimmed with music greats – Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr and Eric Clapton, among them – who played the late Beatle's best known songs, a year after his death at age 58.
But the show ended on an unexpected note with respected, but far-from-superstar musician Joe Brown strumming a ukulele center stage at Royal Albert Hall, singing "I'll See You in My Dreams," a big hit from 1925.
It marked a pure "George" moment: low-key, but high-impact. Just a pal playing one of Harrison's favorite instruments, performing a sad and sweet song about love, loss and the power of memory.
"Concert for George" earned a theatrical rerelease and a reissue on vinyl this week in honor of a Beatles milestone that otherwise might have gone largely unheralded by all but hardcore fans: the 75th anniversary of Harrison's birth.
The date might be a matter of debate – Harrison long believed he was born on Feb. 25, 1943, though some sources say he made his debut late the night before. But there's no question this weekend offers an opportunity to celebrate a legacy launched all those years ago.
The birthday lands amid two other important Beatles February anniversaries: the band's 1964 arrival in the U.S. and their 1968 visit to India. The mileposts represent both the passage of four years and light years on the Beatles' incredible journey.
Harrison's branch of the trip spanned from Liverpool to unprecedented superstardom to a spiritual quest to a death far too soon from cancer in 2001.
He provided his own soundtrack for the odyssey, going from lead guitarist and background harmonizer to a songwriter and singer whose strongest work – "While My Guitar Gently Weeps," "Something," "Here Comes the Sun" – rose to Lennon-McCartney levels.
Harrison's "All Things Must Pass" might be the greatest of the Beatle solo albums, spawning "My Sweet Lord" and "What is Life," which is less a song than his defining question during last his three decades among us.
His wit and musical output proved the "Quiet Beatle" moniker a misnomer, even if Harrison often retreated into private life to escape a world that, by his reckoning, used the Beatles as an excuse to "go mad."
It's tempting to contemplate what he'd think about the world today – and how he'd express himself, in song or otherwise, at age 75.
But the youngest of the Beatles, through his humor, spirit and music, inspired fans to search for answers on our own, fueled by dreams large enough to fill the Albert Hall and then some.

ultimateclassicrock.com GEORGE HARRISON MEMORIAL CONCERT COMING TO THEATERS MARTIN KIELTY Feb 22 2018
Eric Clapton’s 2002 memorial show for George Harrison is being screened in movie theaters across North America just as it arrives on home video this week.
The remastered 5.1 stereo Concert for George is available in several formats, including a deluxe limited-edition box set. You can watch the trailer above and see a full list of theater dates on the official website.
Clapton and Harrison’s wife Olivia staged the Concert for George event at London’s Royal Albert Hall on Nov. 29, 2002, a year to the day after the ex-Beatle’s death from cancer at the age of 58. The tribute, described as an “amazing and historic event,” featured performances by Clapton, Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr, Billy Preston, Jeff Lynne, Tom Petty and others.
The first part of the performance was led by sitar player Anoushka Shankar, daughter of Harrison’s mentor, Ravi Shankar, who performed an orchestral piece inspired by Harrison’s “spiritual aspirations.” It included an acoustic guitar solo by Clapton. The second part featured the Monty Python comedy troupe performing some of Harrison’s favorite Monty Python’s Flying Circus sketches. The final part featured Lynne, Jools Holland, Petty, Starr and others performing songs written by, originally featuring or inspired by Harrison – including, on ukulele, McCartney, who joined Clapton for renditions of “While My Guitar Gently Weeps” and “For You Blue.”
Along with the deluxe box set, Concert for George will be available in four-LP box set (the first time it’s been pressed on vinyl), a CD and DVD combo pack, a CD and Blu-ray combo pack and a two-CD set. A limited-edition digital, complete with cuttings from the hand-painted tapestry that was used as the show’s backdrop, has already sold out. All profits from concert product sales will be donated to the Material World Charitable Foundation, which Harrison founded in 1973.

www.chicagomag.com Paul McCartney Was Here A mother lode of musical history has been hiding in our very midst at Northwestern. BY LAUREN WILLIAMSON PUBLISHED Tuesday Feb 20 2018 COURTESY OF THE NORTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY MUSIC LIBRARY, JOHN CAGE NOTATIONS PROJECT COLLECTION
Only two libraries in the world possess original handwritten Beatles lyrics. One is, no surprise, the British Library in London. The other is—surprise!—the Music Library at Northwestern University in Evanston. I learned this in 2003, when the library brought out its collection (seldom displayed but viewable onsite anytime as high-resolution facsimiles) for a special exhibition. I’ll never forget gazing through glass at a crumpled piece of college-lined paper. Scrawled upon it in blue ballpoint were the lyrics to “Eleanor Rigby”—breathtaking in their simplicity—in Paul’s tight, upright cursive.
The collection includes the lyrics of six songs from Revolver (in addition to “Eleanor Rigby,” there’s “Good Day Sunshine,” “Yellow Submarine,” “I’m Only Sleeping,” “And Your Bird Can Sing,” and “For No One”) and one from Rubber Soul (“The Word”). They are remarkable artifacts, a word scratched out here, another wedged in there. And my favorite part: Paul never fully repeated the now famous chorus for “Eleanor Rigby.” After “Ah, look at all the lonely people,” all he noted in the second and third stanzas was a perfunctory and perfectly mundane “etc.”
The university received the manuscripts in the early 1970s from avant-garde composer John Cage, who obtained them from Yoko Ono as part of his Notations Project, a mammoth effort to collect original manuscripts from hundreds of musicians. Cage donated his entire collection to Northwestern, which showed a reverence for 20th-century music that few other institutions at the time shared. It was those other guys’ loss. The project comprises more than 460 documents from greats such as Aaron Copland, Leonard Bernstein, and Igor Stravinsky.
Viewing those Beatles lyrics, I realized that, stripped of all the mythology, the ephemera of creative icons are often humble—and relatable. You might even have something similar in your own pocket. A spiral-bound notebook is a spiral-bound notebook, after all, even when it belongs to Paul McCartney.

13th November 1963. The Beatles - Paul McCartney, John Lennon, Ringo Starr and George Harrison - in Plymouth. www.plymouthherald.co.uk The Beatles' first Plymouth concert revealed in rare photos The images show the Fab Four mucking around at the ABC in 1963 By Rachael Dodd Reporter 19 FEB 2018
Rare photos have revealed a behind-the-scenes glimpse at The Beatles historic debut Plymouth concert.
One momentous day in 1963, the biggest band in the world arrived in Plymouth for the first time.
Still in their early days and sporting their trademark mop haircuts but with more relaxed suits than they had previously been known for, the Fab Four were working their way around the country on their autumn tour when they played the ABC on November 13.
It was to be the band's fourth tour of Britain within nine months, this one scheduled for six weeks. In mid-November, as 'Beatlemania' intensified, police reportedly resorted to using high-pressure water hoses to control the crowd before a concert in Plymouth.

New images reveal the cheeky foursome arriving in the city in a sleek black car with John Lennon brandishing a copy of The Mirror featuring Paul McCartney on the front cover.
More photos show the foursome on stage and candid pictures taken backstage appear to show the group using a tunnel away from the theatre to their waiting car.
Less than a year later they were back for another concert at the ABC on October 29, 1964.
And in 1967 a ripple of excitement made its way across the Westcountry, closely followed by the group's brightly painted coach for the Magical Mystery Tour.

They were not to perform in the city, but they did spend an afternoon relaxing on the Hoe.
In 1966 The Beatles had ceased touring and became a studio band. The group wanted to stretch their creative wings and the deafening screams drowning out their music were getting old.
Speaking to The Herald in 2014, Julie Brealy remembered how the band was almost inaudible at the Plymouth concerts: “I saw them at the ABC as it was then. It was an amazing night that I will always remember.
“Because of the screaming you could hardly hear the boys and some of the girls were getting really upset because they could not get close enough.”
By ceasing their tours The Beatles became a different band; more experimental and free of the restrictions of live performances.

Multi-layered complex masterpieces like I am the Walrus from the Magical Mystery Tour album were born.
Which brings the Beatles neatly to Plymouth Hoe in September 1967 – John, Paul, George and Ringo were in the middle of an ambitious project, filming the Magical Mystery Tour movie when the famous bus became wedged on Newbridge, near Poundsgate, on Dartmoor.
Tempers frayed and the band made an unscheduled escape to Plymouth, lunching at the Grand Hotel and enjoying the sea views.
It seems even the biggest band in the world couldn’t resist the beauty of Plymouth Hoe on a stressful day.

Sheila Murfin recalled how George Harrison got the denim jacket he’s pictured in: “George is wearing my brother’s denim jacket. He asked if he could borrow it for this pic and never gave it back. My brother didn't mind.”
The freed bus picked the boys up and took them off to Cornwall for more filming. But not before Phil Sargent caught a glimpse of them in traffic as the bus pulled away: “I was 17 and an apprentice at the dockyard and we decided to go round the corner for some sandwiches.
“I left the others behind and as I turned the corner I saw a bus ahead of me. It was fantastically painted and I saw this guy who looked a lot like John Lennon and the man next to him looked an awful lot like Paul McCartney.

“They waved so I waved back and the whole bus started waving and it suddenly dawned on me: it was the Beatles! I got back to my friends and told them they’d never guess who I’d just seen. They didn’t believe me!”
The bus travelled back to London when filming wrapped but, sadly, the Magical Mystery Tour was more mystery than magic to most of its viewers. It was so universally reviled that McCartney made an unofficial apology. In just two short years’ time The Beatles would be on the verge of collapse.
And what became of the bus? In 1988 the Magical Mystery bus was bought by the Hard Rock Café chain and renovated to its former glory, becoming the largest piece in their extensive memorabilia collection.
To celebrate their 30th birthday in 2001 Hard Rock Café offered up the bus as a prize in a sweepstake competition. But they couldn’t give it away – the winner opted for a cash prize instead and the bus remained with the chain in Tampa, Florida.
