George on Bobfest

[misfittoy]

Remember in the early 90s when there was this big concert celebrating the music of Bob Dylan? Different big names of rock came out and each did a cover version of a Bob song. I think it was the anniversary of Bob being with his record label or something, but many dubbed it 'Bobfest'.
George did a song. I forget which one but I do remember he wore a great purple suit.
Funny is while he sang, there was a woman dancing in the front row.
It took a long time before I realized she was his wife Olivia. Looked like she had a good time too.

Anybody else remember that concert?

It was a great show! George did "If Not For You" and "Absolutely Sweet Marie". I was disappointed that his stellar version of "If Not For You" was not included on the album and video of the show.

That's George's 'If Not For You'.

Love George's bluesy tone on his vocal.

I always wondered why 'If Not For You' was left off, since there are good recordings available on bootlegs. I would swap one of the Neil Young songs for the second Harrisong! I thought it was a bit (little little bit) dissapointing that George only played acoustic guitar, I would have loved to see him doing the slide guitar on his contributions. Does anyone know why he chose not to?
