Today's Listening: While My Guitar Gently Weeps

I ran across this video courtesy of Fil from Wings of Pegasus. Commenting on the amount of sheer talent onstage at this 1987 concert he remarks that now (i.e. 2019) it would not be possible to put something similar onstage because the level of individual talent here is really not matched by current artists. I suspect he may be correct. He mentions things like songwriting ability, instrumental competence and so on. Here is his clip:

And here is the original concert for the Prince's Trust. Onstage are George Harrison, Ringo Starr, Elton John, Jools Holland, Eric Clapton, Phil Collins, Mark King, Jeff Lynne and others.


 You know, that is one terrific song, isn't it? And no autotune, no pitch-correction, no quantization...
