George Harrison at Beat '70, Falkoner Theatre, Copenhagen, Denmark (December 10, 1969)

On Wednesday, December 10, 1969, George Harrison made a surprise appearance during two concerts by the American musical duo Delaney & Bonnie at the Falkoner Theatre in Copenhagen, Denmark.

This marked a significant moment as it was Harrison's first stage appearance since The Beatles' final concert in August 1966. Having joined Delaney & Bonnie's UK tour earlier in Bristol on December 2, 1969, Harrison's presence added a layer of excitement and anticipation to the evening's performances.

The concerts, held at 7:30 p.m. and 10:00 p.m. CET, were not only memorable for Harrison's participation but also for being videotaped for broadcast on DR-TV's Beat '70: "The Original Delaney & Bonnie & Friends." This recording ensured that fans around the world could experience the magic of these historic performances.
