Touching, heartfelt. It was wonderful to hear all those great songs so perfectly performed.
Almost too perfectly. Of course, Jeff Lynn and Mark Mann of ELO mixed it, and lord knows Lynn would never burden us with anything human.
Apart from that injudicious perfection, the film is a glorious and uplifting celebration of the coolest Beatle and his music. So many of these songs are stand-outs that it nearly breaks your heart to think that George performed so seldomly. One wonders if his having been a Beatle deprived the world of the fullest blossoming of a great singer-songwriter.
It's hard, from our perspective, to understand how Beatledom must have caged him in, both personally and professionally, and we're left with only inexplicable regret for what might have been.
But never mind. On this film his music sings with the soaring spirituality and optimism that George Harrison clearly felt was what the world needed. The optimism may be dated, but the need is not.
The DVD looked great on wide-screen HD. Highly recommended.
