If you liked George Harrison or were even on the fence when it came to the quiet Beatle you will have no doubt about how you feel after this; my guess is you will really end up Loving, and admiring him.Martin Scorsese does a fantastic job here. I never grow tired of watching this and I have many times and still enjoy every moment. Brilliant!

Reviewed in the United States on May 6, 2012
Academy Award-winning director Martin Scorsese's documentary on the late Beatle George Harrison, GEORGE HARRISON: LIVING IN THE MATERIAL WORLD, named after  the singer's 1973 album of the same name , was released in the U.K. last fall on DVD and Blu-ray, and aired in the U.S. on HBO. Finally, the U.S. DVD/Blu-ray is out, and it is well worth the wait.

The film airs in two parts: Part 1 covers George's life from his Liverpool childhood through the height of Beatlemania and beyond. Part 2 begins with the White Album-era tensions between The Beatles, and the group's eventual split, then focuses on George's solo career and his personal life. There is one significant gap: the documentary seems to skip from his 1974 U.S. tour (essential unseen footage here) to the Traveling Wilburys era, and leaves out his Dark Horse Records solo work from 1976-1992, including his 1987 comeback album 
Cloud Nine  and his 1991 tour of Japan with Eric Clapton.  The Dark Horse Years 1976 - 1992  box set does fill these gaps, as does a recently released iPad Multi-Touch e-book on iTunes. The film's most glaring omission is during the segment on John Lennon's murder and its effect on George, which unfortunately does not mention Harrison's wonderful tribute song, "All Those Years Ago," recorded with the other surviving Beatles, which was a #2 hit for George in 1981 (Kim Carnes' "Bette Davis Eyes" was Number One).

The film does cover Harrison's career as a filmmaker with his company HandMade Films, including such hits as LIFE OF BRIAN and TIME BANDITS, with a brief mention of The Rutles thrown in for good measure, but wisely skips HandMade's Sean Penn/Madonna box office flop, SHANGHAI SURPRISE. It also candidly deals with George's near-fatal 1999 stabbing and his ultimately losing battle with cancer.

There's much archival footage of George throughout, much of it from 
The Beatles Anthology , including some outtakes, There are highlights of his musical career too, including the best-sounding versions of The Beatles' 1962 Hamburg Star-Club tapes that I have ever heard. Whoever did the remastering on those songs should be hired by Apple for a proper re-release of those tracks. There are interviews with Sir Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr, Yoko Ono, Sir George Martin, the late Neil Aspinall, George's lifelong friends Eric Clapton and Ravi Shankar, fellow Wilburys Tom Petty and Jeff Lynne, his wife Olivia and son Dhani, race-car drivers Jackie Stewart and Gordon Murray (George loved Formula One racing, and even wrote a song about it ("Faster," from 1979's  George Harrison  album)), and others. Pattie Boyd Clapton, George's first wife, speaks candidly about their troubled marriage, and her affair with Eric Clapton, who she would subsequently marry and divorce. Even convicted murderer "Crazy Phil" Spector gets into the mix, discussing the production of  All Things Must Pass [BOXED EDITION ] and  The Concert For Bangladesh (Limited Deluxe Edition)  - the interview was probably done before his imprisonment.

Overall, the film is a fine, loving tribute to George, just as the late David L. Wolper's 
Imagine: John Lennon (Deluxe Edition)  was for John.

The Deluxe Edition contains the film on two DVDs, and a single-disc Blu-ray. Both have eleven bonus features, including six (not specifically indicated on the packaging) that are not on the standard DVD or Blu-ray release.

The four musical features are: 1) George playing his ukelele to (it sounds like) the old standard "A Shine On Your Shoes" (uncredited); 2) a soundcheck of the B-side "Deep Blue" from The Concert For Bangladesh; 3) a segment from Abbey Road Studios where George Martin and son Giles "break down" the master of "Here Comes The Sun," much to the delight of Dhani Harrison; and 4) a Shankar Family and Friends instrumental called "Dispute And Violence," recorded live during the 1974 U.S. tour.

The seven interview segments include pieces on George's growing up in Liverpool, George describing the origins of the poem "The Inner Light," which became the basis for his first Beatles B-side, and interviews with Paul McCartney, Neil Aspinall, Jeff Lynne, and race car drivers Gordon Murray and Damon Hill.

The sort-of soundtrack CD, also available separately as 
Early Takes Volume 1: Music From The Martin Scorsese Picture Living In The Material World , consists of 10 Harrison demos and alternate takes, most, if not all, from the early-to-mid-1970s.

The four discs are housed in a deluxe gatefold book with a Hamburg-era photo of George on the front cover, and a Linda McCartney photo of George (probably late '60s or early '70s) on the back cover. There are also two stand-alone photos, one from Hamburg, and the other from the mid-'60s, with an easel included, as well as a soft-cover 96-page book, which is an abridged version of the hardback book 
George Harrison: Living In The Material World . Casual fans who already own the book and don't care about the DVD/Blu-ray extras may want to purchase the standard Blu-ray or DVD editions, and buy the EARLY TAKES CD separately. But for fans who want it all in one fell swoop, this Deluxe Edition is essential.

Happy 75th birthday, George, wherever you are (February 25, 2018). Olivia celebrated this milestone by reissuing THE CONCERT FOR GEORGE on vinyl and Blu-ray for the first time, as well as CD and DVD. The double CD and 4-LP vinyl box set are sold separately, but the two-disc DVD and Blu-ray reissues are available only as a combo pack with the double CD. There was also a limited-edition box set containing the LP, CD, DVD, and Blu-ray, along with a limited-edition super deluxe book, but it sold out very quickly.

I have been a huge Beatles fan since 1962 & always thought I was extremely well-informed on all things “Fab Four!” I knew of this film, but quite frankly, I hadn’t necessarily heard much about it, good or bad. Shame on me! This film is excellent and nearly all of it contains footage I’d never seen! It is well done, detailed, informative, fun & heartwarming. A must see (and own) for any Beatles & George Harrison fan! Very highly recommended!
Reviewed in the United States on June 20, 2012
I purchased this complete set of George Harrison Living In The Material World because I wanted to have everything that was released for this film. I did buy the original hard back book Living In The Material World which is fabulous, but I wish that version of the book had been released in this set rather than the shortened version.

Almost two thirds of the film is about George when he was in the Beatles and the rest of the film is about him after the Beatles. Its too bad they didn't cover his life and solo career in as much detail as they did when he was a Beatle. It is almost like he did the All Things Must Pass LP and The Concert For Bengla Desh (concert/film/LP) then didn't do much after that. He toured the United States in 1974 and toured Japan in 1991 which they didn't cover very much. They didn't cover most of the records he released through out his life, but they did cover when he was in the Traveling Wilburys. One of the coolest things in the film was seeing when George and Paul signed paperwork ending the Beatles.

Yes, there was so much of his life from 1961 through 1970, but it would have been nice to see, hear and know what he did for the rest of his 30 years of life. It would have been nice to have the complete hard back book in this set as well as more music on the CD, but they had to delay the release here in the US because HBO had the rights to show the movie before it was released so to put the hard back book in it would have been like buying the same thing again. This set was released immediately in England and through out parts of the world when it was on HBO in the US, but we had to wait for 6 months to get this release.

I have heard there are plans to release more unreleased music in the future which will be nice since the re-issued CD's didn't have much extra on them. I guess artists and record companies feel we, the consumer, don't want extra tracks (demos or unreleased) are getting a good deal by giving us an extra song (single) or 2 (b-side) when a CD is re-released, but it will be nice to finally get some great demos and alternate mixes.

I must say the one thing I never thought about seeing in this movie. A picture was shown of at a press conference George held in Beverly Hills and low and behold I am right there in the middle of the picture. I must say that makes the entire movie for me.

Anyway, this movie is a must have for any Beatle or George Harrison fan, but maybe just by the hard back book, the movie and the CD is all you need to purchase so you don't have to spend so much money to have everything.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very enjoyable
Reviewed in Canada on March 9, 2024
George has always been my favourite Beatle from the very beginning. I was lucky enough as a very young girl to have a Dad who knew someone at Maple Leaf Gardens in Toronto who procured 4 tickets for my sister and 2 cousins to see the Beatles. I remember almost throwing myself to the edge of the balcony screaming George’s name.
I have read many books and watched countless videos of the Beatles, so a lot of the footage on the first disc I had already viewed.
I found the second disc more interesting only because there were videos I hadn’t seen. I especially loved the sections that Olivia and Dhani contributed to the production. I treasure these 2 DVDs and I am sure I will watch them many times again.

5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent documentary
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on May 14, 2024
An in-depth look at the life and career of George Harrison, with many of those who knew him well giving us fascinating insights. He died too early at the age of 58. You might have to be a fan of the Beatles - which I am - to fully appreciate the significance, but its a well-made documentry nevertheless.

Get Back 観てからこちらをみて あーそうだったんだという所もあり点が線につながった感じ。
ジョージにとってはBeatlesは長い人生の中にある通過点だったんだなと思います。しかしBeatlesファンの
私はBeatlesに関する話のときは前のめりで聞きいってました。この作品でジョージの性格みたいのが自分なりにわかった感じがしました。ジョンとの不仲説とかも違うなと思いました。
そういう時もあったかもしれませんが、お互い兄弟喧嘩みたなかんじだったのかも知れませんね 
いろいろ考えさせられる作品です。まさに人生「All Things Must Pass 」感慨深くてジョージの芯の強さに魅かれます。

Una biografía realmente interesante sobre una de las epocas mas creativas e interesantes de la historia reciente de la música (la década de los 60) de la George Harrison fue parte fundamental. Huye de sensiblerías y muestra la figura de Harrison con profundiad y honestidad. De los mejores documentales del género, sin duda
