George Harrison in Chicago
A Twi-Night Doubleheader At The Old Stadium in 1974
“There has been quite the resurgence of interest in George Harrison of late,” No Depression notes.
“All of which is understandable (it’s the 10th anniversary of his death) and deserved (he was always seemed overshadowed by Lennon and McCartney). Harrison has been on the cover of several rock magazines, including Rolling Stone. HBO recently premiered the big Martin Scorsese-directed documentary, Living In The Material World and his widow Olivia Harrison has put together a coffee table book under the same name.
“Tied into both the documentary and the book, the Grammy Museum in Los Angeles has assembled an exhibit, also entitled Living In The Material World. Taking up most of the museum’s second floor, it is filled with some terrific Harrison material, with Harrison songs filling the air and plenty of video footage to watch (although some of it you might have seen in the HBO documentary).”
Unfortunately, there is not a lot of video footage of Harrison playing in Chicago – namely his stop here at the old Chicago Stadium on November 30, 1974. Let’s take a look at what we did find.
