10 years since George Harrison - a concert
You may think you know every song and every lyric written by George
Harrison, but do you know the entire story behind them? All of the love
and devotion for music written by George Harrison will be performed by
one band with the same care, love and passion as it was originally
intended. A group of musicians, known as The McCartney Years,
passionately present George’s musical library on the 10th Anniversary of
his death LIVE Saturday November 26th at The London Music Club.
Never has there been a pop culture phenomenon like The Beatles. Never
will there be another. George Harrison knew that, and he appreciated
the things a little band from Liverpool was able to accomplish. But he
was never entirely comfortable with his stardom. He was the "Quiet
Beatle." Not one of these "fame martyrs" who are always talking about
how much they hate their fame, just a reluctant hero who liked to keep
to himself.
George used to talk about how insecure he was as a singer, and you can
hear it in his first vocal performance on a Beatles track, "Do You Want
to Know a Secret?" And though he was a songwriter, he had little
confidence in his own ability next to John and Paul, who could crank out
fantastic classics in a few minutes.
In 1992, George toured for substantially the last time, with his
longtime friend Eric Clapton, in Japan. In 1995 he regrouped with Paul
and Ringo to work on two "new" Beatles songs, "Free as a Bird" and "Real
Love." George and Paul expressed in a public way their mutual
admiration and respect for one another at that time, laying to rest the
quarrels of their past. Two years later, Harrison told the world he had
throat cancer.
Sadly, George Harrison, the quiet Beatle, passed away on November 29th, 2001.
Join in the celebration of the music George Harrison so beautifully
created and shared performed with exquisite and unmistakably perfection
by The McCartney Years on November 26th at 8PM.
