Jeffrey: In your view, what was the best part of the performance?

This whole show blew me away,and when they did the "All things must pass" tunes, I lost it.Beware of Darkness was always a favorite.And seeing Paul, Ringo and Clapton on "Guitar Gently Weeps??" Oh, Man...Only McGuinn guesting on "If I Needed Someone" might have made it better.Miss you, George!

"Isn't It A Pity" did it for me (among others)! I had it on one PBS station on Wednesday Evening then again tonight, what a great concert.

It is kind of hard to say what the best part was, I was a bit dissapointed in that some of the performers were unfamiliar, to me anyway, and were not introduced, plus George's son wasn't introduced at the beginning, even though it was obvious who he was, it would have been a nice gesteur(sp) to announce his presence. I am amazed at how he looks just like George! I think the encore that Joe Brown led was quite emotional; I have never heard of the guy but it seemed like he could have been the guest of honor the way he was treated.

Actually the best part of the show was "The Lumberjack Song"!

Monty Python...timeless & ageless!!! Anyone remember when Billy Preston had a whole lot more hair?...maybe I just aged myself.

More hair or not, Billy has been wearing a wig since the '70's (remember the big afro?).
