George did some performances at this annual event.

I was just watching the video's which I downloaded from WinMX, from the (I believe) 1987 show, where George did While My Guitar and Here Comes The Sun.

The video's are very clear with good sound and George looks very happy and strong during this performance, although je has some problems with the microphone.

When he does While My Guitar, it is like a copy of the Bangla Desh Concert, seeing Eric Clapton right from him and Richie on the tools, and during the start of the EC solo, just like at the Bangla Desh, George walks back and is standing a little bended forward, just like during the Bangla Desh concert and during the guitar duet again George and Eric keep looking at eachother.

Amazing.

Also the line-up is not bad

Eric Clapton - guitar
Jeff Lynne - guitar
Elton John - piano
Ray Cooper - percussion
Ringo
Mark King, Level 42's frontman - bass

Oh man, don't remind me of this concert!! I was in England that week and didn't go! I have been kicking myself for it ever since! We could have gotten some tickets, but we "had plans" to go to Liverpool that day...and we were such obsessive planners (well, we still are) that we went with the original plan rather than cancelling it, staying in London and going to the concert. All these years later and I haven't forgiven myself for that particular piece of poor judgement! http://www.beatlelinks.net/ubb/smilies/images/icons/rolleyes.gif

The video is VERY nice. Just makes me sad that I was such a bozo about it.... http://www.beatlelinks.net/ubb/smilies/images/icons/frown.gif

I go back so far, I'm in front of me...

Does George kick Clapton's ass on this concert or what? This was, for me, one of Harrison's finest live performances with his guitar.
