Picking up after the Royal Albert Hall Show in April of 1992, these are the last musical bits and pieces left by George (excluding the Jeff Pocaro memorial concert that has been seeded here in its entirety).It's nice to see that George was playing with friends on all of these occasions.
The first 5 tracks are from an offline video soundtrack but they are still in very good quality, the rest is excellent. Leave the bonus interview off if you do not care for such an award presentation, it is nice to hear though.

'George Harrison & Ravi Shankar, Yin & Yang' May 14, 1997
From the extended re-broadcast aired by America’s VH1 network in the hours following George' passing. I removed some of John Fugelsang's yappings and left those in that add to the story of this historic recording. VH1 did have plenty more, too bad they didn't broadcast all interview parts and the complete version of 'Prabhujee'.

Eerily appropriate that it ended with a funeral recording. That's all folks. Hats off to the pirate gardener.
