Great to see and hear Brian (and Al) in fine form.

That was a great performance indeed, hard to believe it was 9 years ago...doesn't seem that long, does it?

So here's a comparison between an original video of My Sweet Lord shot by a fan at George Fest and the newly released "official" version, for those interested in those things. They did a nice mixing job on the new release! I only wish they had Bobby Whitlock on stage to replicate the original vocals he did with George in the studio on the "Hare Krishna" vocal responses.

Original fan video:

Something interesting they had to cut out, from a post of mine back in 2014 about the concert:

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.  ;D

Fantastic job by all, especially Brian! My god he sounded so good!! Nothing like a great vocal lead from him. Thanks for posting!  :bw

Not to burst anyone's bubble here, but the official video and audio of this were released seven years ago. (https://www.amazon.com/George-Fest-2CD-Various-Artists/dp/B06XZSVS9P) For some reason they're posting it anew to YouTube, but this has been available for awhile.

Thanks Wirestone. I can only find reference to the CD and streaming on your link. Now it looks like CD and Blu-ray available. That could be why it’s being promoted again. Either way, I think Brian got a kick out of singing a song other than one of his. 👍
