Move over, Ms L!

Hi all, wondering why you are looking at this jumbled up page? This is due to the fact that Facebook didn't like our url since it starts with wog, so we have been forced to move the blog. This was some time ago, and we have placed a script which would automatically send you to our new location. Obviously, this hasn't worked for all of you, since we have just finished moderating some of your comments which appeared on this site recently, and not on our new (and improved!) site. So what we're saying is head on over to our new site, and update your bookmarks!

George on Bob Dylan tribute concert

"Bobfest" from 1992 is now out on DVD and Blu-ray

The 30th Anniversary Concert Celebration (dubbed "Bobfest" by Neil Young) from 1992, originally released on CD and VHS in 1993, is now out on DVD and Blu-ray for the very first time. This edition contains 40 minutes worth of bonus material, including interviews and footage from the rehearsals before the concert. The footage is from a new HD-master with remastered sound. It looks absolutely superb! Unfortunately, they have not chosen to include both the songs George Harrison performed, at the concert and on the televised broadcast we also got to see and hear "If Not For You". I wish they could have included this performance, now that they've chosen to include extra material.

There is really no good reason this should be left out imo. Hopefully one day we"ll get a George anthology and.maybe it can be included there.

Perhaps George hated his performance... or his estate said no. Shame. Nice purple suit though!
