Product 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.

4.0 out of 5 stars Dark Horse Years 1976-1992, November 5, 2004

By	Brainwashed "jaguar5150" (Somewhere In England) - See all my reviews

As a die-hard George Harrison fan, I was very pleased to get this DVD as a bonus to the Dark Horse Years boxed-set. But to release it on it's own? I do not understand this, this mainly due to the shortness of the DVD. There can't be more than an hour worth of content. What I wish they would do is; release the Live In Japan DVD and also a DVD with ALL his videos, including "True Love", "Ding, Dong", "Blow Away", "Save the World", etc. [maybe even include the Traveling Wilbury videos].

All in all, I recommend this to all his "true" fans, as it features some nice intro commentary before his videos.

3.0 out of 5 stars Worth Having for George's Music Videos, December 23, 2004

By	Scott Rivers (Los Angeles, CA USA) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

George Harrison's "Dark Horse Years" DVD does not deliver value for money in terms of overall content. However, it's great to have a commercial release of George's music videos, especially "This Song," "Crackerbox Palace," "Got My Mind Set on You" and "When We Was Fab." The performance clips from Japan are memorable, yet one wishes the disc included the entire 1992 concert - and we certainly could have done without the "Shanghai Surprise" promo. "Dark Horse Years" is a mixed bag, but recommended to Harrison fans for the long-overdue music videos.

3.0 out of 5 stars Could have been much better., November 5, 2004

By	Anthony Accordino (Massapequa Park, New York United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

The release of the DVD has me wondering about a lot of things. First off, this DVD was basically a bonus disc to the "Hark Horse" boxed cd set. That is exactly what it is...bonus material. Perfect for a bonus sampler when it is part of an expensive boxed cd set. Now we have an actual solo release of this DVD with a $24.95 list price which is a lot of money for a disc with little content. Sure, Harrison fans will love the Video's from the Dark Horse Years and the 4 song live set with the Eric Clapton band recorded during their Japan Tour. Those 4 live concert performances are the meat and potatoes of this disc, leaving the viewer wanting more. I ask this question, Do they actually have the entire concert from Japan, which would be the ultimate Harrison DVD, if those 4 live cuts are any indicator of what the rest of the show was like. I feel those live sequences are a teaser, and wouldn't be shocked if down the road we get an entire concert DVD "George Harrison Live In Japan"? I would say, if you are a big George Harrison Fan, you are going to enjoy this sampler DVD, but do not expect too much, because it lacks content, which could have made this a much more worthwhile DVD. I still often wonder why his classic "Concert For Bangladesh", has not been released on DVD as of yet?
