John Leonard New York Magazine/Vulture 01/26/2018
There is so little posturing attitude at the Royal Albert Hall that you wonder if rock music really needs any of it-if the couture and surliness couldn't just go back where they belong, which is pro wrestling. Go to Full Review

It offers a special 'something' for everyone who ever appreciated the Quiet Beatle's musical gifts and spiritual explorations. Go to Full Review

09/01/2014 An incredible ensemble of artists come together to honour a rock legend a year after his death. Great performances from Clapton, Lynne and McCartney and many others make this a must have for any Harrison fans. See more 05/05/2012 Features terrific music with very deep commentary. If you are a fan of 70's rock music, then you will like this blend of classic tunes. See more 11/28/2011 Concert For George is an amazing concert with brilliant music, great cinematography and is one of the better concerts ever held in my opinion. Held at the Albert Hall a year after George Harrison's death, Concert For George is the coming together of several performer friends of George performing George's greatest hits, favorite skits, and other work in this 2 and a half hour long concert. Some of performers include Joe Brown, Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr, Billy Preston, Tom Petty, Jeff Lynne, Monty Python and many others. This was just amazing. All of the performances were amazing, with some standout favorites including Paul McCartney's cover of "Something" on the ukelele, Billy Preston's performance of "My Sweet Lord", and Joe Brown's performance of "I'll See you in my Dreams". I really cannot find a negative about this concert nor anything more in praise. Okay, the only thing that prevents me from recommending this concert to everyone is the first segement, featuring a half an hour performance of Sitar music with chants all in Hindu. I know that many are put off by this kind of music so if you skip the Indian then this could be for everyone. (Real Rating: 100%) See more 07/27/2011 I sat captive audience to watch this in it's entirety. George has always been an icon to me. I've always felt a spiritual connection and special affinity towards him. This concert just reinvigorated and conjured up feelings of how much he is missed in this world. I laughed and cried almost simultaneously. A MUST see for anyone that like myself, have infused the Beatles into my daily existence. See more 04/25/2011 simply incredible !!!!!!!!!!!!! ...
