ABOUT THE SHOW AT THE BELL HOUSE TONIGHT

"George Harrison's first solo (triple) album, released on November 27, 1970, "ALL THINGS MUST PASS" is much-adored throughout the world. The highest-selling album of any solo Beatle, it was co-produced by Harrison and the legendary Phil Spector. It ranges from deeply spiritual songs such as "My Sweet Lord" to intimate country-inflected ballads such as "Behind That Locked Door" to 'wall-of-sound' pop masterpieces such as "What is Life?"

This year marks the 40th Anniversary of its release. Out of love for the album, THE UNIVERSAL THUMP, a Brooklyn-based orchestral pop collective, led by singer-songwriter-pianist, GRETA GERTLER & ADAM D GOLD will perform "All Things Must Pass" in 15-piece, expanded 'wall-of-sound' mode including: 2 drummers, 2 bass players, strings, horns, guitarists, keyboardists and more with the guest vocalists listed above.

Rick Moody will also write a short literary piece for the program, which will be available only at the show.

This night will be a BENEFIT CONCERT for The George Harrison Fund for UNICEF

Sadly, November 29 is also the day that George Harrison passed away in 2001. We hope you will join us in honoring his music and life with this extraordinary event at The Bell House."

Tickets are still on sale.

I just heard that Jeff Tweedy is opening for Yo La Tengo at Maxwells on 12/3! Amazing.

The highest-selling album of any solo Beatle... what a monday!

"All Things Must" Pass is good but it's an overrated album. It isn't in the same ballpark as Lennon's "Plastic Ono Band". Am Am I alone in this sentiment?

isn't that the guitar player in Deerhunter?

Plastic Ono Band is one of my all time favorites... I love All Things Must Pass though. It's strange how they're both Spector productions but sound so vastly different.

Nobody feels Ringo has done anything good solo. Haha!

ATMP is a wonderful album and I LOVE it so much. But I would have to be honest and say that PLASTIC ONO BAND is the greatest solo Beatles record. It's mind-blowing/jaw-dropping great and is one of the greatest albums ever made.
