The footage about Brainwashed includes Dhani referring to number seven being the favourite number of George.

And that Dhani wanted Stuck Inside A Cloud to be the #7 track on the album, whereas it is Dhani's favourite track.

So, what is also suggested already, reading some impressions around the web, is; did George use that same method when setting up a track list.

Well, I doubt if he was in the same circumstances as Dhani, being able to set up the track order, but anyway, I have studied the 7's on his albums - I left out the Live albums and the first two - and this is what shows up as a nice compilation bootleg album;

Behind That Locked Door
Art Of Dying (LP track order)
The Lord Loves The One (That Loves The Lord)
Dark Horse
Can't Stop Thinking About You
While My Guitar Gently Weeps (Best of..)
True Love
Dark Sweet Lady
That Which I Have Lost
Unknown Delight
Devil's Radio
Got My Mind Set On You (Best of ..)

Conclusion from my side, Dhani is the first to use this method.

The tribute for George will resound not only within the Albert Hall but hopefully reach the spirit of the man so loved by his friends who will be performing and attending.

Interesting, FPSHOT! That crossed my mind as well~~
Here is a bit of conversation from a meeting with Prabhupad, and in it George discusses the number 7 as well....

"George Harrison: I won't be able to eat much more.
Prabhupada: Three is given to the enemy. According to our Indian system, if you give somebody three, that means he is enemy.
George Harrison: Oh, really? I always liked the number three.
Prabhupada: (laughs) You must give at least four.
George Harrison: I like three, five, seven, nine. Those numbers.
Prabhupada: Bring some fruit. What are the three enemies? Kama, krodha...
Pradyumna: Lobha.
Gurudasa: Lust, anger, greed.
Prabhupada: Three enemies--lusty desire, anger and greediness.
George Harrison: Yes. But there's a lot of nice threes.
Prabhupada: Yes. Just like Brahma, Visnu, Mahesvara. Three worlds, sankha, martya, padma. Trinity. These are nice things.
George Harrison: Tri-guna.
Prabhupada: Tri-guna, yes.
Jayatirtha: The three modes, they're not so nice.
George Harrison: Well, they're all necessary.
Jayatirtha: Yes."

So, it's 3, 5, 7, 9.

Well I am not going to make a study of those, but interesting is, that these four numbers are un-even numbers, so not 2, 4, 6, 8.

It tells something about a person, I have read long ago. It in many cases is a person who e.g. does not like what everyone likes. The obvious choices.

Like being fan of John or Paul in stead of George or Ringo, loving Mick and Keith and not Charlie of Bill. Manchester United and not Wolverhampton Wonderers. The 2, 4, 6 and 8 would go for the obvious popular, winners, the 1's, just because everyone does it. "Arrive without thinking".

Ofcourse, not in all cases, but I hope you know what I mean.

George Harrison has 14 characters... if you divide that by 2 you get 7. Does that mean anything? http://www.beatlelinks.net/ubb/smilies/laugh5.gif

Ok, that was silly... Sorry!
