In a press release, Olivia Harrison said, “A long time ago, George, imagining his ideal job, said, ‘I could do something like that one day… [it’s] The perfect idea… I mean if I had a “special”, I would like to have some people who mean something to me. “

And he was right, he was insightful and right. She went from the wonderful Ravi and Anushka Shankar orchestra to the hilarious Monty Python. The deepest songs written by George, whose meanings are enhanced by his absence, and played by a core group of friends with heart and soul. It gives me great pleasure to be able to relive that wonderful evening again, on a big screen, after 20 years.

Added Danny Harrison: “20 years ago, I stood on stage alongside dear friends of my father and celebrated his life and his music. It was one of the nicest things we could do that day for his death. There was a lot of love involved in this show, which has been preserved in this one George’s concert Movie. I hope you dig it.”
