    I love Billy's performance of George Harrison's song 'My Sweet Lord', he puts his entire heart into it, and that Hammond B3 playing is so brilliant, just to add to the Billy Preston'ness of your post:

    Sorry, I must disagree.

    That accolade, surely, goes to George Martin?

    Billy Preston played on one album, and even then not on every track....

    George Martin went home while Billy partied with the group but I digress :-)

    Dhani Harrison, back in 2002, a year to the day of George's passing, I know many people have spoken about this event but it was Eric Clapton's most significant tribute to his great friend who he was still visibly grieving for during this concert; everyone among the performers were mentioning that Dhani looked uncannily like his father almost as if his younger self were taking part! The atmosphere, and great outpouring of emotions made this event truly 'Epic' in a very human and heart felt way, I revisit this concert regularly, the performances were at the top of everyone's game.
