"The Concert for George" was
"The Concert for George" was a tribute to George Harrison, held one year after his passing on November 29, 2002, at London's Royal Albert Hall. Unable to attend, Dylan instead performed "Something" in Harrison's honor as a special, extra third encore at his show on November 13, 2002 at New York's Madison Square Garden.
In an emotional voice Dylan told the audience, "There’s a tribute going on, I guess it’s next week or the week after, it’s over in England, for George Harrison. And, you know there’s all kinds of people going over there, I’m not sure who. But we can’t make it, and that’s why I'm going to do this song now in remembrance of George, because we were such good buddies."
The soft tones of Dylan's tender introduction are replaced by an enthusiastic roar of recognition from the crowd immediately upon hearing the song's first two or three unmistakable notes.
It seemed like a special moment for the musicians and the audience, with Charlie Sexton pouring himself into his guitar solo at Bob's prompt, Larry Campbell providing gorgeous backing on mandolin, and Dylan clearly moved and highly emotional throughout. That mood continuing through the musicians' several moments standing at the front of the stage taking in and acknowledging the crowd's long rounds of applause, loud cheers, and whoops of appreciation before the lights went down the final time.
This performance of "Something" from 2002 was the first video posted here and is still the most heavily viewed of all of them, by several orders of magnitude.
The original was encoded in DVD format by my late husband Jon in 2003 along with a few other sample clips that married my videos with his DAT audios, to share with a few friends.
This new version has been upgraded to 4K, offering much improved video quality, and I've re-synced and remastered the accompanying DAT audio track to make Dylan's introduction more clearly audible and, at least I hope, to also improve the sound on the clip in general.
Thanks to a new, second PC I finally acquired a few weeks ago that is an actual fully decked out, kickass-quality, professional digital video workstation, I'll now be able to produce many more videos with 4K resolution, and prepare new clips for upload much faster than before. It wil also allow me to step up the pace on the larger project of digitizing and sharing some of the volumes of other musical material ifrom the "Casper Audio and Video Music Archive" - including more from Dylan as well other musicians.
Immediately next up are a couple more 4K clips from this same concert.
