Living in the Material World #GeorgeHarrison

Segon documental que us recomano; Living in the Material World. Aquest documental fet per Martin Scorsese sobre la vida de George Harrison és molt bonic, i molt interessant. La vida de George potser el menys conegut de totes les histories dels Beatles, però potser és un dels més interessants sobretot en l'etapa post-Beatles. M'agraden els Beatles, m'agrada George, i tots els projectes que ha anat fent, i m'agrada que un director de cine li dediques més de 3 hores de pel·licula.

Second hot tip; the documentary Living in the Material World. Martin Scorsese's documentary on the life and times of George Harrison. Maybe he was the least talked about of the Beatles, but he led a fascinating life, especially post-Beatles - being involved in many amazing music projects all the way up to his death. I love the Beatles, I love hearing about them, I love George and his music, and I particularly love the way a director like Martin Scorsese has given him over 3 hours of film!

My Sweet Lord

Sempre hi ha alguna peça de música que no coneixem. Coneixia My Sweet Lord de George Harrison (any 1970), i la polemica de si havia sigut una copia del hit He's So Fine (els jutges van decidir que si, aqui pots decidir tu), però no havia sentit mai aquesta versió fins que un company blocaire m'ho va passar.

És del Concert for George, un concert de l'any 2002 per recordar a George un any després del seu mort, on participaven gent com Eric Clapton, Billy Preston, Jeff Lynne, i molts més.

The beauty of music is that there is always something else to discover. I only knew George Harrison's original version of My Sweet Lord (orginal may not be true given that it is claimed to be a rip-off of He's So Fine - judge for yourselves) until last week when a fellow blogger passed me this clip. This version is from 2002's Concert For George, featuring Billy Preston, Eric Clapton, Jeff Lynne among many other famous musicians and singers.
