The star-studded 'Concert For George' will be release on DVD on November 17, dotmusic can confirm.
The tribute show to the late Beatle - held at the Royal Albert Hall, London back in November 29, 2001 - will be commercially available as a double-disc presentation spanning an impressive four hours.
Following the limited cinema release earlier in the month, the full show features performances by Eric Clapton (the organiser/musical director), Jeff Lynne, Paul McCartney, Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, Billy Preston, Ringo Starr, and Ravi and Anoushka Shankar.
The show - compromised entirely of Harrison compositions bar a specially commissioned track written by Shankar - includes versions of 'Inner Light', 'Taxman', 'I Need You', 'Give Me Love', 'Handle With Care', 'For You Blue' and 'All Things Must Pass'.
As befits a show of this magnitude, 'Concert For George' has been digitally enhanced using the latest audio and visual DVD technology and is packed with numerous extras including special interviews and backstage footage.
Proceeds from the concert, film and DVD will be donated to the Material World Charitable Foundation, which Harrison founded in the 70s.
