I can't even count any more, the times I've watched this concert, first in the theater, then at home on DVD. What touches me most about it is how joyful it was, and that all involved, performed at the top of their game -- as if they wanted to do right by George, and give him the highest tribute.
Then there's Dhani, George's son. His uncanny resemblance to his father is startling at first, but then becomes comforting. I believe Olivia, George's wife commented that "while watching everyone on stage, she felt that they had all gotten old, but George stayed young".
My respect for Eric Clapton,increased ten-fold as well. A very private man, he spoke so candidly about his love for George, and how he missed him.
The stage/setting was warmly lit, and the 2 shots they displayed of George throughout the concert were beautiful - the young, playful Beatle, then the more mature, serene wise man.
I loved the mix of eastern and western cultures/music as well, and highly recommend this lovely concert to anyone who loved George/loved his music and the spiritual wisdom he conveyed. I also want to take this opportunity to thank Olivia, Dhani, and Eric for sharing it with the world.
