Unfortunately destined for quick release to DVD, it is worth almost any effort that The Concert for George be seen initially in the theater. Any decent home rig will provide for an enjoyable experience, but the in-theater experience will set the tone--no pun here--for extended treasure of this event.
Its musical quality, artist interpretations, continuity, sense of humor(right up George's alley), along with the camaraderie and "familial" love among the artists are inspiring to behold, and it is no less the event to see young Dhani Harrison's physical resemblance "bring his dad back to the stage."
It was a bit sad to see on opening night only some ten or twelve other patrons in the theater and, some five days later, see it unlisted for the same screen. More is the pity for this, but for those in touch with the mid-and-later-20th century musical phenomenon, DVD will far surpass a complete miss. A copy would compliment anyone's library.
