The Blu-ray version of "Concert For George," is coming March 22 -- and with a new bonus track not included in the original DVD.
The two-disc Blu-ray set will include the complete concert on the first disc and the original theatrical version featuring concert highlights, interviews with the performers, rehearsals and behind-the-scenes footage on the second disc, as the original DVD did. But also included on that disc will be a previously unreleased interview segment, "Drummers," featuring Ringo Starr, Jim Keltner and Ray Cooper.
In addition to the Blu-ray DVD, the film will also be available that day on digital download.
The George Harrison website is also offering a special limited edition deluxe package for $59.99 (£36.99 UK) that will include a t-shirt and the original concert program in addition to the DVD.
The concert, held at London's Royal Albert Hall on Nov. 29, 2002, a year to the day after the passing of George Harrison, was organized by Olivia Harrison and Eric Clapton, who also acted as music director. Performers included Jools Holland, Jeff Lynne, Paul McCartney, Monty Python, Tom Petty, Joe Brown, Billy Preston, Ravi and Anoushka Shankar, Ringo Starr and Dhani Harrison.
