Music Movie Mondays Series:
Concert for George
Special one-night-only screening of the Grammy-winning concert film
followed by an interactive discussion moderated by music journalist Bill Kopp
George Harrison was sometimes referred to as “the quiet Beatle.”
Somewhat overshadowed by the immense songwriting of John Lennon
and Paul McCartney, his artistry might not have always received the
recognition it deserved. But Harrison – already the composer of classic
tracks like “Something” and “Here Comes the Sun” – blossomed as a
solo artist in the post-Beatles era. His 1970 triple album All Things Must
Pass is a landmark work. Along the way, Harrison developed deep and
lasting friendships with celebrated names in music, the arts,
entertainment and philanthropy.
In the wake of George’s untimely passing in 2002, an all-star group of those friends mounted a
concert in tribute to their friend. A film of that performance at London’s Royal Albert Hall, Concert for
George won a Grammy Award for Best Long Form Music Video.
In commemoration of the 20 th anniversary of the tribute event, a limited-engagement screening of
Concert for George is being scheduled in select theaters. Asheville’s Grail Moviehouse is hosting
Concert for George one night only: January 9, 2023. It’s the latest installment of the Music Movie
Mondays series hosted by author and music journalist Bill Kopp. Sponsored by AshevilleFM, the
event will include a brief introduction, a screening of the film, and an interactive discussion
immediately following.
As the press kit for Concert for George summarizes:
“On November 29, 2002, one year after his passing, Olivia Harrison and Eric Clapton
organized a performance tribute to celebrate the life and music of George Harrison. Held
at London’s Royal Albert Hall, the momentous evening featured George’s songs, and music
he loved, performed by artists including Eric Clapton, Joe Brown, Dhani Harrison, Jools
Holland, Jeff Lynne, Paul McCartney, Monty Python, Tom Petty, Billy Preston, Ravi &
Anoushka Shankar, Ringo Starr and more.”
Hosted by Asheville-based author and music journalist Bill Kopp, Grail Moviehouse presents a special
screening of Concert for George on Monday,
Jan. 9 @ 7pm and sponsored by
AshevilleFM. After a brief introduction, we’ll watch the film together. And then afterward,
we’ll engage in a moderated discussion about George Harrison and the
Concert for George in his honor.
The event is the second and latest in the series of Music Movie Mondays at
Grail Moviehouse. We’ll watch and discuss new releases, classics and cult
favorites.

King in The Wilderness chronicles the final chapters of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s life, revealing a conflicted leader who faced an onslaught of criticism from both sides of the political spectrum. While the Black Power movement saw his nonviolence as weakness and President Lyndon B. Johnson saw his anti-Vietnam War speeches as irresponsible, Dr. King’s unyielding belief in a peaceful protest became a testing point for a nation on the brink of chaos.
King in The Wilderness shares stirring new perspectives on Dr. King’s character, his radical doctrine of nonviolence and his internal philosophical struggles prior to his assassination in 1968.
Following the film, Dr. Steve O’Neill (Professor of History, Furman University) and Dr. Holly Pinheiro, Jr. (Asst. Professor of African American History, Furman University) will lead a discussion that audience members are invited to participate in.
