George Harrison‘s wife, Olivia, said their son, Dhani, became an anchor at his father’s tribute, Concert for George. George’s spirit was present through Dhani.
“It was [Clapton’s] idea,” Goerge’s widow, Olivia, told Rolling Stone. “He phoned me not long after George died and said, ‘I’d like to do something.’ Eric was a very deep friend of George’s, so I felt confident and relieved that it was Eric coming to me.”
“Olivia had given me this job of being musical director,” Clapton explained, “to single out people for certain songs, and I found that really hard. We were all quite protective of our relationships with George.”
At London’s Royal Albert Hall, a year to the date of George’s death, his friends came out to show their love for him. George’s fellow Beatles Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr made memorable appearances and the guys in Monty Python lightened the mood. George’s fellow Traveling Wilburys, Tom Petty, and Jeff Lynne brought even more great music.
