"Live in Japan" by George Harrison – ****

First released: 1991

Eric Clapton convinced George Harrison into going out on tour in Japan of all places. I almost bought a ticket to Japan to see this concert, but really thought that George would bring the tour to the US. He never did. Waaah! Now he’s dead. Anyway, the concert was from December 1991 and the album released in 1992 featuring George performing his best Beatles and solo tracks and was in very good voice, especially compared to his 1974 Dark Horse tour. Various video performances of this have been released over the years, but a proper DVD of the entire show desperately needs a release. The album was remixed and remastered and re-released in 2004.
