Description
Following its exclusive release as part of the George Harrison Dark Horse box set earlier this year, The Dark Horse Years 1979-1992 DVD will be issued as a stand-alone release on November 2. Content is identical to the box set version (details below), but the standalone DVD will be packaged in an amaray case with deluxe 28 page booklet with a new cover shot featuring the black and white picture of George used on the box launch ads. This contains the extensive liner notes by David Fricke, accompanied by a great selection of photographs, illustrations and press cuttings. Olivia Harrison has contributed a short history of Dark Horse records and further notes about the Dark Horse Logo itself.

5 out of 5 stars George is with God.......2007-02-23

Buy this DVD of a man who is closer to God than all of us!A musical giant of the century.

4 out of 5 stars Incomplete.......2006-06-24

This DVD could have garnered 5 stars from me but the video to "Blow Away", from George's excellent 1979 "George Harrison" album, is missing! I'm not 100% positive, but I'd have to imagine there was also a video for "Love Comes To Everyone" off of the same album.... and what about the video for "All Those Years Ago" from "Somewhere In England"??? Why are these important pieces of George's Dark Horse years omitted?

Videos of "Crackerbox Palace" and "This Song" are worth the price of admission, alone. But I'd have rather seen the above mentioned videos included instead of stuff from "Shanghai Surprise".

Good, but it could have been fantastic - and it should have been.

3 out of 5 stars what a pisser.......2005-11-04

Well, I'm not the only one obviously who is a little miffed at how this was originally supposed to be exclusive to the Dark Horse CD boxset as a bonus - now available on its own. I could have saved a bundle by buying the remastered albums separately, then get this dvd (plus much better packaging, since the dvd was originally tucked into the back of a collectible cd-sized hardback book).

But I bought the way overpriced collector's edition cd box because I wanted this dvd. If they had added some extra material to the separate release, I wouldve rebought it in fact, and I think many George fans would have too. The dvd as it has some great stuff, esp. the Live in Japan performances which sounded way better on the dvd in surround sound than the live album tracks do. I would love to have a full concert. Also the videos are mostly fun to watch but as it has been pointed out where the heck are the other ones? No, I don't even mean the Wilburys because I hear they are planning a re-issue of the all the Wilburys stuff and with any luck the videos will be on a dvd. But some of George's videos from this period are MIA.

4 out of 5 stars I wish I could give it five stars.......2005-10-30

I am a HUGE fan of George Harrison and was thrilled when I learned of this DVD. The content is worth five stars. The reason the DVD is not is because of the length. Several clips of interviews shown which have clearly been editted. It would have been so much better if the whole interview had been covered. I also agree with the other reviewers who stated the concert sequence was great, but a tease for more. It would have been five plus stars if it had included the Wilburys.

5 out of 5 stars "By George" it's a winner!.......2005-08-04

This DVD is great, both picture and sound quality are 10/10. It's good seeing the two different "Got my mind set on you" promos and also the Eric Idle directed promo for "Crackerbox Palace" amongst others. The live clips from the tour of Japan (allegedly done to finance the struggling "Hand Made Films" company George started) are quite superb.

Thoroughly recommended!
