George
Harrison and Ravi Shankar's 1974 North American tour was a 45-show
concert tour of the United States and Canada, undertaken by English
musician George Harrison and Indian sitarist Ravi Shankar in November
and December 1974. It is often referred to as the Dark Horse Tour, since the concerts served as a launch for Harrison's record label Dark Horse Records, and Harrison's concurrent single was the song "Dark Horse" The release of his delayed album, also titled Dark Horse, followed towards the end of the tour. The shows featured guest spots by Harrison's band members Billy Preston and Tom Scott.
The
1974 tour was the first in North America by a former member of the
Beatles since the band's 1966 visit. Raising expectations further among
fans and the media, it marked the first live performances by Harrison
since his successful staging of the 1971 Concert for Bangladesh
shows, which had also featured Shankar and Preston. Harrison had no wish
to revisit his Beatles past, however. In his set list for the tour,
Harrison included just four Beatles songs: his own compositions
"Something", "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" and "For You Blue", and the
Lennon–McCartney song "In My Life".
The
response from music critics varied significantly throughout the tour.
Some reviewers were scathing in their assessment: Harrison was
criticized for failing to respect the public's nostalgia for the
Beatles, his choosing to afford considerable stage-time to Shankar's
ensemble, his spiritual pronouncements and on-stage demeanor, and
particularly the rough quality of his singing voice, caused by
overexertion in the months leading up to the opening concert. Other
reviews were highly favorable, admiring Harrison's humility in sharing
the spotlight with his fellow musicians and the lack of overly
theatrical presentation, and praising the breadth and adventurousness of
the musical program (Wiki).
