Found the first video on the Sulpy board, and saw that there were more. Fun to find these as they are a nice reminder of seeing George in concert in '74, even despite the hoarsness, as George was playing some really tasty guitar licks on this tour.

I wish Olivia would put this out. I love to watch George play the guitar!

Boy is he hoarse...but I'd still buy it as long as it is off a board. My boot is from DC. It's okay.

...but he pulled it off quite nicely in Japan...if only... I still have the RS magazine announcing that George was on a mini-tour of Japan with Eric and that he and Eric were bringing the show to the U.S. Damn! Thanks OldFred! Those are very interesting to watch. When George was in Chicago, I was only 45 miles away physically but 1,000,000 miles away emotionally as it wouldn't be until Sept. 1975 when I fell for the Fabs. When Paul hit Chicago in May of 1976, I was a fan but had no means of going. I remember ABC Channel 7 Chicago did a live feed from the concert on the nightly news showing us a 15 second blurb. I could have died of envy.

You're all welcome. Because George was my first concert experience in 1974, those also bring back nice memories. ;D

Those clips are precious. Does anyone know exactly WHY he was so hoarse circa Nov. 1974?? I've always wondered this...

George was under pressure to complete the 'Dark Horse' album before the tour started and he contracted laryngitis during the sessions. The album was pretty much unfinished when it was time to start the tour and George's voice didn't have time to completely heal, thus the hoarsness you hear in the record and on the concert recordings. The album was pressed for release before George had a chance to re-record the vocals. The tour itself was not a happy experience for George and it took him off touring and live performances almost completely, even though he did do a short Japanese tour in the early 1990's, but he never toured the States again.
