El 25 de febrero hubiera sido el 75 cumpleaños de George Harrison, y para celebrar la vida y música del artista, Concert for George será relanzado en diferentes formatos el 23 de febrero.

El concierto, que tuvo lugar en el Royal Albert Hall de Londres el 29 de noviembre de 2002, un año después de la muerte del ex beatle, fue un tributo a su desaparecido amigo por parte de artistas como Eric Clapton, Jeff Lynne, Tom Petty (quienes trabajaron con él en el supergrupo Traveling Wilburys), Tom Hanks, Joe Brown, Billy Preston, los Monty Python, Ravi Shankar y Anushka Shankar. Por supuesto, los dos beatles sobrevivientes Paul McCartney y Ringo Starr también participaron en el homenaje a su amigo.

A pesar de que Concert for George ha sido relanzado anteriormente, ésta será la primera vez que este disponible en formato vinilo, conteniendo una imagen impresa de un mandala en el lado 8.

“Siempre celebraremos el cumpleaños de George, y este año lo haremos con el lanzamiento de Concert for George en edición especial en memoria de un hombre especial”, ha comunicado su viuda Olivia Harrison.

Concert for George estará disponible en varios formatos, incluyendo una edición limitada (de 1000) de lujo con 4-LPs, 2-CDs, 2-DVD/Blu-rays y un libro tamaño vinilo de 60 páginas. La caja también incluye un trozo de tela pintado a mano original que fue usado en el concierto, y una carta de Olivia explicando el origen de la tela.
