CONCERT FOR GEORGE - THE SHOW

following on from the DVD in the previous posts, this inspired me to find the concert programme for the Concert For George.

Heres a detail from the inner....

and heres my ticket - a complimentary one at that!

Ed Sullivan

As the cover says- the four complete Ed Sullivan shows with all the original ads. and other guests left in. This pink cover version is the American NTSC edition - the Uk one came out in a more sedate black cover.

concert for George

This was the tribute concert for George at the Albert Hall. I was lucky enough to get a ticket! What a night - Paul McCartney and Ringo were there, Joe Brown, Eric Clapton, Olivia and Dhani Harrison, Ravi Shankar, Tom Petty, Billy Preston - to name but a few. This DVD features the full concert as was experienced on the night and also the cut-down TV version.

Love Me Do - the Beatles progress

One of the first books published on the Beatles - only just got it so haven't read it yet.

Let It Be Book






When 'Let It Be' was first published it was available as a limited edition box set which consisted of the record and a book of the film. I've just obtained one of the books without the box or record and I'm pleased with it. But having checked on the internet this is possibly a good fake as there were some good bootlegs produced which had a plain black back - and this one does have a plain back back . But it seems to be too good to be a fake. Even so, I still like it, but if anyone is reading this and knows anymore details then please leave a comment.

Kaleidoscope

A fun item I bought at the 'Love' show but you can get it elsewhere. A kaleidoscope featuring the yellow submarine.

Platinum Disc


hopefully this is genuine- presented to Ringo for sales of Anthology - though I doubt Ringo ever laid hands on this. The black surround has peeled off on the left hand side.

SONGS BY GEORGE HARRISON

A limited edition book . Very valuable as its signed by George himself and the artist. An illustrated songbook with a limited edition CD enclosed too for good measure.



LOVE SOUVENIRS



Well I saw the 'Love' Show in Vegas and it lived up and surpassed my expectations.

Heres the brochure and the mug (and yes I did buy the T-shirt too!)
