Fuelled by the twin engines of the love for George felt by everyone on stage and the man's music, this all-star concert is a celebration flavoured through by the poignant absence of the man it celebrates.
It is the little touches I like:
The Inner Light performed live for the first (and only) time;
The Python offerings, including Carol Cleveland and Neil Innes (and Tom Hanks!);
Ringo fronting two songs MILES better than he ever did as a Beatle;
The look which passes between Paul and Ringo in For You Blue as they recall "and that's the 12 bar blues" in the studio;
The moment when Something goes from Paul's solo ukulele version to the Abbey Road group and orchestra arrangement;
Paul's high backing vocals in Something and While My Guitar Gently Weeps - something I never thought I would hear;
Joe Brown's simple and touching rendition of I'll See You In My Dreams being the perfect closing number;
Rose petals, Dhani and Olivia.
A concert film which succeeds on all levels.
