CONCERT FOR GEORGE   DVD ONLY

Visibility on release through December

 Listed below are the key points for the Concert for George, as they exist
today. This is an early look at the project

and there will be more details to follow.

 Content

Last year a tribute concert for the late George Harrison was held in London
to remember the 1st anniversary of his death. The musicians who
participated were, Eric Clapton , Ringo Starr, Paul McCartney, Jeff Lynn,
Ravi Shanker, Albert Lee, Ray Cooper, Jim Keltner, Jim Capaldi, Tom Petty
and the Heart beakers, Jools Holland, the Cast of Monty Python, and a full
Indian Orchestra. This was filmed and will be released as a commercial DVD.
In addition a documentary of the concert was created and will be shown in
theaters in the fall

 Charity

Artist royalties to go to the Material World Foundation-the Harrisonfamily
charity

 Packaging

2 discs-one disc of the entire concert approx 2:50in length-second disc the
movie approx. 1:50in length

There will not be an audio only piece at this time.


The Beatlefan website says the entire concert will be on disc 1 and the theatrical version will be on disc 2. Interviews and rehearsal footage will also be included in the set.

By the way, it's still not certain if the "Let It Be" CD will also be coming on Nov. 18 or not. It wouldn't seem likely that they'd release the two on the same day.

Thanks very very much to Bill King for sending this.
