On This Day The First Beatle Hit the Road Solo
. In 1974, George Harrison announced that he was going on a 30-date North American tour to play songs off his #1 solo albums (1970's All Things Must Pass and 1973's Living in the Material World) as well as a few Beatles classics. Harrison assembled a 10-piece band, including pop star � and Beatles collaborator � Billy Preston, horn player Tom Scott and guitarist Robben Ford. The former Beatle also brought along friend, mentor and Indian music legend Ravi Shankar, who would perform two sets with his group during each concert. Although Harrison had staged The Concert for Bangladesh a few years before, he had never organized a full tour for himself. As such, he seemed a bit uncertain about how he'd feel about doing so, saying, "I either finish this tour ecstatically happy and want to go on tour everywhere, or I'll end up just going back to my cave for another five years." - more on this story Gibson.com is an official news provider for the Day in Rock.
