I Want to Tell You it's Time For George!

Review Score: (10/10)
This was the first live concert from George Harrison in many years. A gifted guitarist, lyricist and delightful vocalist, Harrison does not disappoint on this collection. Although his voice gets a little husky and raspy on some songs, he comes through in his distinct, Harrison style in fine form!

When you listen to "Piggies," George gives this 1968 gem an added bonus section, which is mentioned in his book, "I Me Mine." The high point of the collection for me was his doing two of my favorite Harrison Beatle classics, the 1969 gem "Here Comes the Sun" and the 1966 gem "I Want to Tell You," wherein he amends one line. This "change" is mentioned in his book "I Me Mine" as well.

Eric Clapton's band does a stellar job of performing with George. This combination works and flows with each other brilliantly and the guitar playing is superb. Just LISTEN to the 1968 magnum opus "While My Guitar Gently Weeps...." that is such a worthwhile treat!

This is such a delightful collection and people ranging from those just becoming familiar with Harrison, the Beatles and Clapton to inveterate fans. Be sure to check this out - it is excellent!
