Critic Reviews

Richard Harrington

It offers a special "something" for everyone who ever appreciated the Quiet Beatle's musical gifts and spiritual explorations. Read full review

Peter Rainer

The jamboree is beautifully shot and directed, by Chris Menges and David Leland respectively, and there is a haunting touch: the presence of George’s son, Dhani, on guitar, looking near-identical to his dad in his twenties. Read full review

Stephen Holden

The sweet, solemn music of George Harrison, who died two years ago, has rarely sounded more majestic than in the sweeping performances of the enlarged star-studded band that gathered in London at Royal Albert Hall on Nov. 29 to commemorate his legacy. Read full review

Frank Scheck

It provides both deep musical pleasures and a touching farewell to the former Beatle. Read full review

Ed Park

Both a heartwarming tribute to the late Beatle and a study of hair patterns in the aging British male, Concert for George, recorded at the Royal Albert Hall a year to the day after Harrison's death, manages both reverence and joy. Read full review

Chuck Wilson

This filmed record is a musical bliss-out. Read full review

TV Guide Magazine Maitland McDonagh

Anyone who remembers Harrison fondly will enjoy this musical tribute, though it assumes a level of familiarity with Harrison's associates that not all viewers will have. Read full review

It's possible that there are other concerts equally well played and filmed, but it's hardly possible that there could be one better, so this can be the bench mark for a 10. The performances are astonishing. Eric Clapton's solo on While My Guitar Gently Weeps is to cry for.
