Danielle Solzman Solzy at the Movies George Harrison may have been The Quiet One but as the Concert for George shows, he left one heck of a musical legacy for audiences to enjoy and discover years after his death. Rated: 5/5 Nov 29, 2022 Full Review Loren King Newport This Week (RI) Concert for George is a touching tribute to Harrison as an artist and human being, and a welcome celebration of music and camaraderie.

Sharleen W It was very enjoyable, basically, a concert filmed - I would have liked a little more about George. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/26/23 Full Review Joe The sound was very low and hard to hear, even with my hearing aids, during the first part of the movie. Later it became louder but not as clear and good as the sound I get from YouTube videos of parts of the concert. For example, While My Guitar Gently Weeps. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 12/05/22 Full Review yeah,I said it The DVD of the movie is spectacular. This version was cut up, with many of the best bits left out. And the sound was too low in the theatre. TURN IT UP. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 12/01/22 Full Review Christopher C The show was great, the venue we saw the movie at was basically empty of staff. I asked about ten other moviegoers what they thought and we all agreed the sound was horrible. Way too soft and only speakers at the front played. I wanted to ask an employee if maybe something was wrong but neither I or another guy could find anybody. We still aren’t sure if it was the concert/movie or the venue. Everyone expected a showing of a concert to have better sound than what we experienced. I loved the concert / movie and would see it again if I knew it would sound better than a mono am radio. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 12/01/22 Full Review Daniel Ott A great presentation of George Harrison's music. Respectfully done by his musical and actual family. Not long enough. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/30/22 Full Review Yakking With F i saw it in the cinemas for its 20th Anniversary its was a great concert movie on the big screen i went with my dad at cineplex i have it on Concert For George I have it on DVD Edition from 2003 and Blu Ray Edition from 2018 I loved it on the big screen it’s was playing for one night only in the theatres it’s was in Dolby Atmos with a new introduction from Olivia And Dhani here are the variations came out in 2003 and 2018 2 Disc DVD 2 CD 4 LP 2 CD 2 CD And 2 DVDs 2 CD And 2 Blu Rays and deluxe box set sold out Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/05/24 Full Review Read all reviews
