Vatican Christmas Concert (Various Artists) (DVD)

Concert for George

Advantages: Excellent musical tribute concert
Disadvantages: absent friends

Excellent Concert held in November 2002 one year after George Harrison's untimely death. Disc One is the complete concert featuring an all star band including Eric Clapton; Ravi & Anoushka Shankar; Billy Preston; Joe and Sam Brown; Jools Holland; fellow ex-Beatles Ringo Starr & Paul McCartney; Travelling Wilburys Jeff Lynne and Tom Petty and Dhani Harrison, looking very much like his father in the 1960s. The vast array of George Harrison's work is featured as well as a wonderfully funny comic interlude by members of Monty Python singing Sit on my Face and The Lumberjack Song. George Formby's I'll See you in my Dreams closes the show. The disc is easy to navigate allowing access to individual songs.

The Vatican

Advantages: Must-go for catholics
Disadvantages: No

, with all its decorations. I went in to the quiet area within the chapel to pray-being able to say a prayer in the largest and most significant church in the world is amazing. Finally, it came to souvenir time. Apart from the usual rosary beads and crucifixes, please remember that Vatican is actually an independent state.
