| Performance Notes | George Harrison's live appearances in the aftermath of The Beatles were infrequent to say the least. Aside from a major 1974 tour of the United States and a 1991 tour of Japan with Eric Clapton, George's live performances onstage were limited to special events or charities such as the Prince's Trust Rock Gala in 1987 or the Concert For Bangladesh in 1971. However, on April 6, 1992, George held this benefit concert for the Natural Law Party, a transnational party based on the teachings of Maharishi Mahesh Yogi. This concert would be George Harrison's first full-length concert in the UK since since the famous rooftop concert by The Beatles in January 1969.
Joining Harrison on stage for his performance of While My Guitar Gently Weeps was the late Gary Moore. Gary was a phenomenal blues and rock guitarist and had worked with greats such as B.B. King and Albert King. He was also a member of the 70?s rock band Thin Lizzy. He had worked with George before, and had even played the lead guitar solo on the Traveling Wilburys recording, She's My Baby. Sadly, Gary passed away due to a heart attack this past February (2011).
While this was George's last full concert, he did make a subsequent appearance at Madison Square Gardens on October 16, 1992 at a tribute concert for Bob Dylan celebrating the 30 year point in Bob's career. George performed the Dylan classics If Not For You and Absolutely Sweet Marie.
"BEATLE GIVES THE GURU PARTY ROCK SOLID SUPPORT.
...The evening was...the start of three nights of concerts to celebrate the formation of the Natural Law Party, which is an offspring of the worldwide movement founded by the transcendental meditation guru Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, from whom the Beatles received instruction in India in 1968.
The party had 310 candidates standing in the general election and aims to "create a disease-free, crime-free, pollution-free society - Heaven on Earth".
...The Natural Law Party, said Mr Harrison, offers the only option to create the "beautiful nation we would all like to have"."
(The Daily Telegraph, 7 April 1992)
Harrison dedicated 'All Those Years Ago' to John Lennon. |
