This is an excellent concert and tribute I own already on DVD, however..............
I don't understand why the family of George Harrison don't put together a compilation of some out-takes/live tracks as a tribute rather than continue to reissue the same stuff over and over again.
There are some brilliant stuff out there on bootlegs that deserve an official release

Perhaps this is a chance to get everything out on blu ray and get people's attention at the same time?

I just read an article that the "big thing" here is a vinyl version coming also.
It is so frustrating to me that the record labels almost never state the audio bit/sampling rate on music blu-rays. IMO, potentially improved audio is the main justification for them.

There is also a 10-disc deluxe box set.
Quote:
The new Deluxe Box Set of the concert is limited to 1,000 pieces worldwide, and features the complete sound and film recordings from the concert (on 4 180-gram LPs, 2 CDs, 2 DVDs and 2 Blu-rays), a 12"x12" hard-bound 60-page book, plus an opportunity to own a piece of the historic event, by way of a cutting from the original hand-painted on-stage tapestry used as the backdrop at the Royal Albert Hall that night.
The package is housed in a gold-colored, fabric-wrapped box with a die-cut mandala window to display the unique stage fabric, and includes a note from Olivia Harrison, explaining the story behind the tapestry.
The 4-LP Box Set includes the complete sound recordings from Concert for George, on 180-gram vinyl, featuring a special, mandala-design etched on side-8. This is the first time that all songs from the performance have been available on an audio configuration. The album will also be made newly available via streaming platforms, with a track listing mirroring that of the vinyl.
In addition to the vinyl formats, the release will also be presented as a 2-CD set, as well as newly issued 2-CD + 2-DVD, and 2-CD + 2-Blu-ray combo packages. The 2-CD set features sound recordings from the concert. The 2-disc DVD and Blu-ray sets also include the complete filmed concert on the first disc, with a second disc containing the original theatrical version featuring concert highlights, interviews with the performers, rehearsals and behind-the-scenes footage. Exclusive to the Blu-ray format, the second disc includes an interview segment featuring Ringo Starr, Jim Keltner and Ray Cooper, entitled "Drummers."
The box set is available exclusively from http://www.concertforgeorge.com. To save you the click, it's a mere $350. I didn't take it through the checkout process, but it doesn't look like free shipping.

Was lucky to actually see this performance when it played in theaters. What a celebration! To see all these stars and great music on the big screen, its still one of my all-time movie going experiences.
