To begin with, what an exceptional DVD package Concert For George is. In the days of paying twenty bucks to get a single DVD, in a cheap plastic case, with no booklet, and no special features, getting a product of this quality is very refreshing. The "quiet Beatle", George's songs increasingly became more relevant and soon demanded their own place on each subsequent Beatles album, right beside the songs of the greatest songwriting duo ever - Paul McCartney and John Lennon. home.comcast.net /~proy1/Reviews/ConcertForGeorge.htm   (1001 words)

DVD Verdict Review - George Thorogood And The Destroyers: 30th Anniversary Tour Live Thorogood and his Destroyers have been around for about 30 years, give or take, and to commemorate their lasting appeal they've released a live concert DVD of their 30th anniversary tour. This concert, a celebration of Thorogood's 30 years of recording and touring (interesting footnote: he was a minor league ballplayer before he was a rocker) should give fans something to sing about.

The Beatles George Martin does his best to repair the sound of this early concert, but there's no use: the performances are lousy - the band couldn't hear themselves play over their screaming fans, and you will hardly be able to hear them either. It is the first Beatles album conceived as an album, not just a bunch of songs (their first released identically in the US and the UK), and the first rock album where the songs blend into each other with no breaks. Only six Beatles tracks, two of them are recycled from earlier records (title track; "All You Need Is Love"), and the entire second side consists of assorted George Martin elevator music instead of the pile of additional tunes that appear in the film. www.warr.org /beatles.html   (3574 words)

709georgenewcancer.html With the recent release of the Concert for George CD/DVD, I thought it was about time I finally finished my review of one of the "competing" George tribute albums: Gentle Guitar Dreams, released around the same time as the Songs from the Material World CD. The other Beatles connection on the album is that it's being co-produced by long time Bowie friend/collaborator, Tony Visconti who produced some things for Apple, was married to both Mary Hopkins and May Pang and (as he's said in his live show) did uncredited work with Paul on the "Band on the Run" album. This morning (Tuesday), Bowienet (http://wwww.davidbowie.com) just released the track listing for the upcoming Bowie album "Reality" (due out around Sept 15th). abbeyrd.best.vwh.net /news/709georgenewcancer.html   (129 words)
