Under the musical direction of Eric Clapton, the show featured George's songs performed by friends such as Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr, and Tom Petty, along with Ravi Shankar's classical Indian orchestra and skits from Monty Python. Brimming with warmth, humor, and joyous songs, it was a true celebration of George Harrison's life and music. With over 400 photographs, Concert for George charts the show and its three weeks of rehearsals; it's a story of collaboration between the superstars, dozens of musicians, and Olivia and Dhani Harrison.

Together, they help us understand this complex, passionate, and deeply modest man, making Concert for George an intimate blend of laughter and tears, and a highly personal tribute to one of music's best-loved songwriters.Theroux, Harrison Roylance is the author of 'Concert for George ', published 2005 under ISBN 9780811852104 and ISBN 0811852105.
