Something humorous to add about that clip of My Sweet Lord: Listen for someone accidentally kicking or bumping either a guitar amp or even an old Fender spring reverb tank several times during the performance, and creating that thunder-crash sound effect that only kicking or bumping a spring reverb tank can create. Shades of "Diamond Head"! Definitely not a planned part of that performance, but it would have been perfect if they had decided to play Diamond Head.
Ahhhh! I see! Thanks!

I KNEW I recognized that sound. Done it myself a few times.

I have to say, Brian hit some of the most off notes I've ever heard him hit in that clip. But when he got into it? There was real enthusiasm in the way he was improvising around the melody -- singing just for the sake of singing. Great to hear...

I don't know what you're getting on with that "man in drag" crap. That's Ann Wilson, the lead singer of Heart and I think she looks great, especially for a woman her age.

Ann looks great and she sounds even better than she looks.

Ann is kicking serious ass these days! She looks fantastic and the current Heart lineup really rocks! The stuff they're doing is pretty damn agressive.
Watching the "My Sweet Lord" vid: am I the only one who wishes they just had Al sing the lead? ..... I agree Brian sounds good (at first) ..... but AL JARDINE is standing right there! One of the best, STILL, one of the best voices in music history!

Naw, Brian owned this. His vocal isn't perfect, but man he went all in.

Yes at over 5 minutes there was room for Al to come in. Not what the musical director wanted perhaps.

I'm with you. Brian wasn't 100% on pitch, but I vastly prefer him singing with feeling than 'Robo-Brian'.

In the eye of the beholder, I guess. Perhaps it's the bag lady dress that threw me ( think I saw her walking down the street today)

I agree that Brian went all in. It's not a criticizm of Brian, but rather, AL is standing right there: let him have a verse ...... You know he would have killed it!

He was also a member of the "Fab Faux", alongside fellow Beatle freak, late night house band musician, and incredible motherf*cker of a session player, bassist Will Lee. The Fab Faux is perhaps THE BEST Beatle tribute band in the business, bar none, and they go for authenticity and respect for the music versus wearing costumes and wigs to get the look.
If you want to hear top-notch musicians playing the Beatles tunes to a "T", check out the "Fab Faux".
You're so right about this Guitarfool. When I was working in New York in the late 90s, I had the opportunity to both hang out and jam with Will over a few days in the studio as he was working with my friend Delmar Brown. We all had such a blast. Will steered us into Beatles territory, and we played many songs from their catalog.
It's great to see Brian in a setting like this. I know it's been quite a while now, but I'm still stunned and thankful for how far Brian has come back. I thought for sure for a period of time that we would lose him. Amazing, really.

Watched it for like the 20th time...listening to it on good quality headphones...I LOVE when Brian starts playing around with it on the 2nd half, esp. the 'my my my' parts... the guy's still got it.

Does anyone know if George was ever quoted on the topic of Brian, or Pet Sounds? John and Paul are often cited, but does the quiet Beatle live up to his name on this one?

Yeah, Weird Al's cover of "What Is Life" blew me away. That's the only other time I've heard him do a serious cover - he often does "Radio, Radio" if something in his concerts goes wrong.

That was charming & rocking all the same. Something was wrong with the flow of the melody, as if they wanted to finish it halfway, then someone invisibly gave a sign to continue. The slide guitar was kinda out of sync with other instruments during solo, as well as some guests were repeating "Hallelujah" where they should've been "hare krishna". But this is a minor complaint, nothing to do with Brian, who sang it amazingly. Always loved the song, very cool that he was honored to cover one of George's smash hits (unlike "Wanderlust" on Paul's tribute). Nice adlibbing on "my, my".
Haven't heard the rest of the fest.

I’ve never been able to find many examples of George discussing Brian or the BB’s, or even uttering either name.
There is a segment in the “Beatles Anthology” documentary where Paul, George, and Ringo are being interviewed as a group, and they are discussing “Paperback Writer” (and trying to perform the song live). George mentions they were “trying to compete” with the Beach Boys and “Pet Sounds.” But, and this is just my reading, I’ve always read George’s comment as more of a case of following Paul’s lead on the topic. I don’t think George was heavy into the BB’s back in 1966. I think he was doing what sometimes happens in group interviews (especially the slightly awkward group interviews they did for “Anthology”); he was essentially answering the question for Paul, almost making the comment as if it’s a question. George makes the comment almost the same way an interviewer would bring the topic up to Paul, as if “so Paul, you recorded “Paperback Writer”, and back then you were trying to compete with the Beach Boys and Pet Sounds.”
I still love that story Al told about “apologizing” about Mike to George and Ringo at the R&R Hall of Fame ceremony.

The quote, for those of you wondering:
"Dazed and horrified, Al walked up to where George Harrison and Ringo Starr were sitting. “I said, ‘Geez, guys, I really want to apologize for that speech. My partner is not feeling well.’ Then Ringo put his head on my shoulder and said, ‘It’s okay, we love you guys.’ George’s classic remark was, ‘I guess Mike didn’t listen to the Maharishi, did he?’ Then he put his head on my shoulder, too, and it was really quite sweet.”"

On our way through this "backstage" maze, Bruce joined up with the group and said hello, singing "It Never Rains in Southern California" and joking with some of the older ladies. I'm not sure if they knew he was a Beach Boy or simply an enthusiastic elderly gay gentleman.

Well, that explains why Mike wasn't at Concert for George.
