  In May 1997, during his last television appearance, George Harrison participated in a VH1 special titled "Yin & Yang" to support Ravi Shankar’s album "Chants of India," which Harrison produced. This performance came after Harrison had released “Brainwashed” in 2002, his posthumous album that featured some of his most reflective work. At this time, Harrison was already a well-established figure in music, known for both his solo career and his significant contributions to The Beatles. Interestingly, the live recording featured "All Things Must Pass," a track from his iconic triple album of the same name released in 1970, which showcased his songwriting prowess. The special ultimately highlighted both Harrison's long-standing collaboration with Shankar and the deep cultural connections that defined his artistic legacy, making this performance a poignant reminder of his enduring influence.

  On July 24, 1997, George Harrison made a poignant appearance at VH1 Studios in New York, marking his final live performance before passing away in 2001. This performance occurred roughly one year after the release of his album "Brainwashed," which debuted in late 2001, shortly after his death. In the context of his career, this performance was particularly significant as it occurred during a period of relative reclusion for Harrison, reflecting not only his deep friendship with Ravi Shankar—whom he was supporting in promoting Shankar's album—but also a return to his roots in music after years of focusing on personal projects and spiritual pursuits. Interestingly, during this appearance, Harrison displayed his characteristic humor and humility, treating the event as a friendly gathering rather than a traditional concert, embodying his laid-back approach that resonated with fans throughout his career.
