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.
