Concert for George, Eric Clapton’s 2002 concert tribute to late Beatles member George Harrison, is heading to theaters. The tribute concert will be hitting select theaters nationwide. Clapton and Harrison’s wife Olivia staged Concert for George at London’s Royal Albert Hall on November 29, 2002, a year to the day after Harrison’s death from cancer. The tribute featured performances by Clapton, Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr, Billy Preston, Jeff Lynne, Tom Petty, and others. The first part of the performance was led by sitar player Anoushka Shankar, the daughter of Harrison’s mentor, Ravi Shankar, who performed an orchestral piece inspired by Harrison’s “spiritual aspirations.” The second part featured the Monty Python comedy troupe performing some of Harrison’s favorite Monty Python’s Flying Circus sketches and the final part featured Lynne, Jools Holland, Petty, Starr, and others performing songs written by, originally featuring or inspired by Harrison.
