NOTES:

George Harrison was famously averse to performing in public, having only embarked on one full-length (disasterous) tour in 1974 in the twenty years following the Beatles' breakup. Lured out of retirement by Eric Clapton, he played a two-week tour of Japan in late 1991 backed by EC and his touring band; despite rumors of a broader North American and European tour, no further dates were scheduled.

With the exception of this one. This was a charity event for the "Natural Law Party" at London's Royal Albert Hall the following spring; George played a somewhat truncated (95 minutes) version of the Japan setlist, augmented with guests Joe Walsh and Gary Moore to open the show. Eric Clapton was unavailable to reprise the role he'd played in Japan, so Mike Campbell (of Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers) filled in competently. Other guests during George's set included Joe Walsh on "Roll Over Beethoven," and Gary Moore and Ringo Starr on "While My Guitar Gently Weeps."

Following this show, George withdrew into seclusion again. He performed at "Bob Fest" in New York later that year, and guested with Ravi Shankar on a VH-1 special in 1997, but this was his last headlining appearance. He ultimately died of lung cancer in December 2001. (Many thanks to commenter "Marc911" for the additional detail included above.)

In terms of sound quality, it's not the best recording but certainly good -- and more than acceptable considering the historic nature of this show. Dynamics are good but not great, the overall mix is solid, and there's not really any close-mic audience interference to distract from the listening. The taper was either a ways back from the PA or not in a good taping location, so the recording sounds a bit distant. (Given that I'm holding a 1992 recording to 2013 taping standards -- for the era, it's very good.)
