写在前面的话：他们终生与音乐为伍，相傍走过这满地孤独的世界。因为音乐，灵魂从此有了寄托，对这个世界，这些被上帝眷顾的天才再也无法漫不经心了。于是他们穿梭于爱恨之间，对人类生命引发深沉的思考，旋律从脑袋心脏纷纷涌向舌尖指间打转。他们化身诗人，哲人，艺术家，斗士，绝望的魔鬼，伤心人，普罗大众……音乐的火焰就在他们手里愈烧愈烈，然后丢给世界。他们曾经那么年轻，那么放荡不羁，那么不可一世。沧海桑田，他们已不再年轻，假若变成满脸长着慈祥皱纹的遛鸟大爷，眼角流着浑浊的眼屎，情何以堪？！所以当看到eric clapton仍耍着一手特酷的吉他，paul McCartney手法漂亮地弹着键盘，心情无法不激荡，这是老哥们热血依旧沸腾的证据！而另一方面，却分明真切地感受到这群人在慢慢枯萎。突然间一个激灵，想到某一天再也无法见到他们，悲从中来。我不知道这意味着什么，但却知道该死的那天总会到来。好吧，即使那一天来了，他们的音乐却是永恒，forever!
事实上,这场缅怀George Harrison的演出就是如此！
—————————————蛋蛋的忧伤分割线———————————————
我是幼男控也是大叔控，所以02年这场缅怀乔治演唱会却成为我的满汉全席。表一表菜单：吉他之神Eric Clapton,大菜！tom petty,大菜！披头士中仍坚挺的两只大牛，小脸吉他手乔治其实在我心里的位置是仅此列侬。镜头最后摇到舞台中央的幕上——照片上那个忧郁的青葱少年已人去花零，而台上一群年过半百的老头子在蹦哒着，这一切让人唏嘘不已。幸好Paul McCartney仍很有范儿，气场够足，性感的眼神儿够勾魂，老爷子风采不减当年。鼓手Ringo Starr，打耳钉穿红色花外套跟只花蝴蝶般在台上手舞足蹈，打鼓架势像极老年版张震岳，摇头晃脑一派天真浪漫，特别有爱。摇滚老将jow brown、Jeff Lynne、Gary Brooker、黑人灵魂歌手Billy Preston、键盘手Jools Holland、鼓手Jim Capaldi也齐齐亮相，每一位都是世界音乐殿堂上供着的人物。此外，加了一碟清爽可口的小菜——乔治唯一的儿子Dhani Harrison，模样清秀小小只活脱脱是乔治的翻版，看着就淌口水。老将Joe brown的女儿sam brown也前来助阵，一曲节奏欢快的《Horse to Water》为这场老男人局抹上bling的色彩。
Eric Clapton这老闷骚了不得，老少通吃，跟谁都特磁、特惺惺相惜。当年他爱上乔治妻子贝蒂，最终抱得美人归，之后和乔治仍处得瓷实，忘了说一声，这场纪念演唱会就是老克一手操办。只能说，乔治人格有多伟大老克魅力就有多大。老克的私生活丰富多彩，在和贝蒂离婚前后，陆续和一些女人来往并生了一些孩子，02年又娶了枚小他31岁的嫩草。像他这样才华横溢又忧郁拧巴的多情种，情感路自然分外妖娆。他老是含情三分坦然七分地看着别人，目光睿智饱含信任，对人彬彬有礼又不过分亲热，一手吉他弹得神乎其技又晓得收敛不会风头抢尽，连老bob老paul也对他的风度气度折服！极好的口碑和人缘，加上都是半辈子荣辱与共的好友，于是每次办演出，他轻而易举就把四面八方的大牛给召唤出来。所以我会先逮有他参与的演出，这样一般其他的大牛也会出现。1992年，在纽约麦迪逊广场纪念bob Dylan进入歌坛30周年演唱会，也有老克、有老乔治、有老佩蒂，主角是老鲍勃，还有另外好多只美国大牛，比如摇滚教父neil young。结尾那首《my back page》大合唱，几乎所有老哥们都抄上家伙上台了，那么多把吉他一齐电闪雷鸣，场面让观者鼻血狂飙，堪称绝版。老克走上前唱那段特酷，气势舍我其谁，荣辱不惊，台上台下飞的走的焦点全部聚集到他身上上下其手。那年他47岁，看起来还很年轻，特有范儿。我就以为他不会老，就算岁数长，也是不显老那种。但10年后的这场，身上已有了肚腩和双下巴，但这不要紧，摞命的是已露出老态！虽然这位被尊称为god的慢手仍弹得一手无人能出其右的吉他，但上帝的的确确，老了。和paul合唱《while my guitar gently weeps》中间的吉他solo,我忍不住把手遮住屏幕，这样的大特写真他妈fuck残忍。也许别人眼里不见得他就老了，但在我，就是看不得他有一丝老态！
但是，比老克大3岁的保罗•麦卡特尼却一点也不老！虽然披着一身老肉皱皮，但我却很花痴盯着屏幕上的他，越看越觉色香味俱全。老家伙真有意思，还是个素食主义的画家，怪不得一身老肉但仍精瘦，整尊神采奕奕。《while my guitar gently weeps》那段前奏，键盘弹得叫个山雨欲来风满楼，急切有力又干净利落，和电吉他配合得天衣无缝。保爷跟老克合作的这个版本堪称经典，比乔治版、beatles版、Jeff Healey版都来得出色，无他，前奏太出彩，当然老克歌声也不差。年轻时，paul是甲壳虫里较胖的一只，眼睛圆碌碌，婴儿肥的脸顶着拖把头显得格外趣致，肚子里坏水才情等量齐观，喜欢在台上与台下的观众调情。在披头士后期，保罗创作上的数量质量和列侬齐平，而两人的世界已经南辕北辙了，这也是导致这个乐团解散的原因之一。在这场演唱会中，当他扫着简单的和弦，唱起乔治的《something》，清澈干净的嗓音唱出something in the way she moves，台下的观众跟闻到刚开封的百年佳酿霎时微醺了，美好得让人神伤！
Tom Petty& The Heartbreakers,是我个人钟爱的一支乐队，而且完全是因为主唱大人Tom Petty。听他的歌从来不会有惊艳或者惊喜，他用沙哑本色的嗓音，说着平凡人倔强而认真的故事，听着特别踏实、真实。他演唱技巧平平，音色算不得上乘，演唱方式靠拢于鲍勃迪伦的说唱风格，讲述着生命里的梦想与失落，歌里的那份执着坚持让人动容。乐队整体上虽然算是摇滚，但摇滚味较轻，我这种伪民谣爱好者也接受得了。85年那场大牌云集义助非洲演唱会，他也有精彩演出。出场时觉得很面熟，后来发现原来是跟电视剧西游记里的黄眉大王像极了，造型和神情都极为相似，我忍住后还是笑喷。88年，Tom Petty和Bob Dylan,、乔治哈里森、Jeff Lynne 、Roy Orison一同组成了相对松散的乐队组合Traveling Wilburies （旅行者威尔伯利兄弟），开始和这些摇滚传奇人物并驾齐驱。Tom Petty也许永远都成不了老克那种贵族范神殿上的人物，但他有他的坚持，几十年里音乐大潮日新月异，很少人像他这样始终坚持做自己一种音乐风格，十年如一日，时间证明了他的音乐生命力经久不衰，在经过时间锤炼后更发出落得娴熟淡定。02年入列摇滚名人堂名单，早已是摇滚界一代巨星。在这场演唱会中，《I need you》初听平平淡淡，越听几遍越有味道。看着他已渐枯朽的脸，风采大不如前，不由得再次感叹时间真他妈狗娘养的！这样一个个折磨我大爱的男人。
Ringo Starr，这个张震岳&本拉登综合体，曾经这样调侃自己 “我本来是想做个工程师的，谁知道我第一天就把拇指砸伤了，我只好去做鼓手了，这是我惟一能干的事情，随便吧，我知道我算不上一个好鼓手。约翰（列侬）曾教我怎么唱歌，我只能在弱拍上演奏，因为约翰的节奏吉他不能合上我的拍子。我不是一个鼓技见长的鼓手，也不是一个以体能见长的鼓手，我打鼓时可以摇头晃脑的，就像跳舞，但你不能像我这样。”好的，虽然在披头士四人中才华实属一般，但ringo starr却是最简单可爱的那个！他唱童话般的《黄色潜水艇》，他总爱傻笑，他的眼睛像熊猫眼一样往下耷拉。当我在为老克和tom petty变老而伤感时，他却在舞台上兴高采烈地晃着剪刀手，时间对这样的人似乎只能说：I,服了YOU。他依然是当年那个简单快乐的beatles鼓手Ringo Starr。一曲《photograph》被他唱得跟《欢乐颂》般满堂欢快。这是他自己单飞后的歌，同老乔治一起创作。
jow brown，摇滚老将，也是一位英国知名老演员。曾参与老乔治82年发行《Gone Tropp》专辑的制作,是老乔治生前挚友.joe brown音色纯正，嗓音清亮，但与paul的绅士味不同，joe是老派乡村民歌味，《Here Comes The Sun》、《That's The Way It Goes》唱得莺飞草长，轻快动听，风情十足。结尾一曲《I’ll see you in my dreams》，听得人心生惆怅，唱到那句“They will light my lonely way tonight ，I'll see you in my dreams”差点落泪。老乔治的离开，是这个世界深深的遗憾而不应该是痛苦。全场仿若弥漫静谧伤感的气氛，为这场伟大的演出画上一个完美的句号。台上人已走，旋律仍萦绕在大堂里，相信台下观众都是嘴边含笑而心挂惆怅而归。
这场演出最出彩应属老克&老paul的《while my guitar gently weeps》、老paul《something》、joe brown《I’ll see you in my dreams》，另外就是Billy Preston这首《My Sweet Lord》了。与乔治的虔诚悲苦版本不同，Billy Preston把它唱得热情洋溢，极具感染力。舞台上的老哥们忍不住都为他当和声部，而且，只当和声部，因为主音唱得实在太精彩！这位集键盘手、歌手、演员、导演于一身的传奇性人物，已于06年6月去世，那年他60岁。已说及此，忍痛再说一位。著名迷幻摇滚乐队Traffic鼓手Jim Capaldi，在这场演出中也是鼓手之一，镜头虽不多，但是镜头前老头还是生猛彪悍。然而也于05年1月去世，终年60。令人扼腕！
话题太沉重了，还是说点八卦吧。我以为大美妞sam brown当时也就二十多顶多三十岁，后来一看资料才知道已有38岁。看起来还那么青春洋溢，胸部保养得很好（颈部还是泄漏了秘密），下身穿了件布料罗里罗嗦的黑长裙，杵台上就像一巨型黑色拖把。其实上身衣服也很累赘，但看在露胸的份上也就不说什么，总之造型比较失败。演唱《horse to the water》时和她眉来眼去的键盘手是Jools Holland，此人也大有来头。03年的个人专辑中招集了爵士女歌手诺拉•琼斯、U2合唱团主唱Bono、艺术摇滚布莱恩·费瑞、流行黑人女歌手狄昂•华薇克、齐柏林飞船合唱团主唱Robert Plant、摇滚乐三大吉他手之一Jeff Beck等等等参与。也是大师级人物。风度不错，但却有点色迷迷。
另一键盘手Gary Brooker,和老克一样也是不列颠帝国勋章获得者。满头银发很漂亮，但也因此看起来就跟爷爷一样（其实比joe brown还小两岁），演唱的《Old Brown Shoe》感觉一般。
说来说去漏掉了Jeff Lynne，这位胡子茂盛大叔满头毛茸茸卷发，是前超级摇滚乐团E.L.O的主唱。曾为tom petty、老乔治、老Paul的专辑当过制作人，也是个重量级人物。
最后说一下主唱后面的伴奏团队，其中一神神道道的带着墨镜的老头，名叫Ray Cooper，看过92年老克那场堪称不插电中经典的演唱会都会对他印象深刻。玩乐器玩得像宗教那种狂热法，挺绝的。每次看到他我都会想起《波士顿法律》里面的古怪闷骚大叔Jerry，顶有意思的人物。另外一个唱和声的女孩也是在92年老克的演唱会担任和声，Tessa Niles。一起唱和声另外的黑人女孩叫Katie Kissoon,说实话，即使是比起10年前的Tessa Niles，她还是显得更有魅力。
最后最后！在第二部分开场出现的英国喜剧班霸The Monty Python，里面担任特别来宾居然是tom hanks!曲毕后向全场敬礼，还是阿甘那个傻里傻气的样子，真想抱抱他。
完毕！

贴一下里面我大爱的歌：
01：something
歌手:the beatles
something in the way she moves
attracts me like no other lover
something in the way she woos me
i don't want to leave her now
you know i believe her now
somewhere in her smile she knows
that i don't need no other lover
something in her style that shows me
don't want to leave her now
you know i believe her now
you're asking me will my love grow
i don't know, i don't know
you stick around now it may show
i don't know, i don't know
something in the way she knows
and all i have to do is think of her
something in the things she shows me
don't want to leave her now
you know i believe her now
02：I need you
You don't realize how much I need you
Love you all the time and never leave you
Please come on back to me
I'm lonely as can be
I need you
Said you had a thing or two to tell me.
Beatles
How was I to know you would upset me?
I didn't realize
As I looked in your eyes
You told me
Oh yes, you told me
You don't want my lovin' anymore
That's when it hurt me
And feeling like this
I just can't go on anymore
Please remember how I feel about you
I could never really live without you
So, come on back and see
Just what you mean to me
I need you
But when you told me
You don't want my lovin' anymore
That's when it hurt me
And feeling like this
I just can't go on anymore.
Please remember how I feel about you
I could never really live without you
So, come on back and see
Just what you mean to me
I need you
I need you
I need you
03: While my guitar gently weeps
I look at you all see the love there that's sleeping
While my guitar gently weeps
I look at the floor and I see it needs sweeping
Still my guitar gently weeps
I don't know why nobody told you how to unfold your love
I don't know how someone controlled you
They bought and sold you.
I look at the world and I notice it's turning
While my guitar gently weeps
With every mistake we must surely be learning
Still my guitar gently weeps
I don't know how you were diverted
You were perverted too
I don't know how you were inverted
No one alerted you.
I look at you all see the love there that's sleeping
While my guitar gently weeps
Look at you all . . .
Still my guitar gently weeps.
04: horse to the water
You can take a horse to the water
but you can't make him drink
Oh no, oh no, oh no
A friend of mine in so much misery
Some people sail through life,but he has struck a reef
I said 'hey man let's go out and get some wisdom'
But first he turned on me, then he turned off his nervous system
You take a horse to water but
you can't make him drink
Oh no, oh no, oh no
You can have it all layed/staked out in front
of you but it still don't make you think
Oh no, oh no, oh no
Someone I love is gotta problem
Some people thirst for truth, but he would like a drink
I said 'Hey man this could turn out to be risky'
He said 'everything's ok' as he downed another bottle of whiskey
There's a preacher out there warned me about Satan
Could be that he knows him
Cause' He acts like he's possessed
I said 'Hey man let's hear about God realisation
For a change'
he said "We ain't got time for that
First you must hear the evils of fornication"
05: The Lumberjack Song
BARBER:
I'm a lumberjack, and I'm okay.
I sleep all night and I work all day.
MOUNTIES:
He's a lumberjack, and he's okay.
He sleeps all night and he works all day.
BARBER:
I cut down trees. I eat my lunch.
I go to the lavatory.
On Wednesdays I go shoppin'
And have buttered scones for tea.
MOUNTIES:
He cuts down trees. He eats his lunch.
He goes to the lavatory.
On Wednesdays he goes shoppin'
And has buttered scones for tea.
He's a lumberjack, and he's okay.
He sleeps all night and he works all day.
BARBER:
I cut down trees. I skip and jump.
I like to press wild flowers.
I put on women's clothing
And hang around in bars.
MOUNTIES:
He cuts down trees. He skips and jumps.
He likes to press wild flowers.
He puts on women's clothing
And hangs around in bars?!
He's a lumberjack, and he's okay.
He sleeps all night and he works all day.
BARBER:
I cut down trees. I wear high heels,
Suspendies, and a bra.
I wish I'd been a girlie,
Just like my dear Papa.
MOUNTIES:
He cuts down trees. He wears high heels,
Suspendies, and a bra?!
［talking］
What's this? Wants to be a girlie?! Oh, My!
And I thought you were so rugged! Poofter!
［singing］
He's a lumberjack, and he's okay.
He sleeps all night and he works all day.
He's a lumberjack, and he's okaaaaay.
He sleeps all night and he works all day.
06:I'll see you in my dreams
Tho' the days are long
Twilight sings a song
Of the happiness that used to be
Soon my eyes will close
Soon I'll find repose
And in dreams you're always near to me
I'll see you in my dreams
Hold you in my dreams
Someone took you out of my arms
Still I feel the thrill of your charms
Lips that once were mine
Tender eyes that shine
They will light my way tonight
I'll see you in my dreams
(Solo)
Lips that once were mine
Tender eyes that shine
They will light my way tonight
I'll see you in my dreams
They will light my lonely way tonight
I'll see you in my dreams
07:my sweet lord
My sweet lord
