Martin Scorsese's HBO Documentary 'George Harrison: Living In The Material World' Premieres Wednesday (VIDEO)

Academy Award-winning director Martin Scorsese decided to turn the lens on the Beatle's "quietest member" in a documentary called "George Harrison: Living In The Material World."

The film will air on HBO in a two-part presentation on October 5 and 6.

With an impressive slew of interviews from Eric Clapton, Terry Gilliam, Eric Idle, George Martin, Paul McCartney, Yoko Ono, Tom Petty, Phil Spector, Ringo Starr and Jackie Stewart, the three-and-a-half hour documentary will examine Harrison's life and career.

According to HBO: "Much of the material in the film has never been seen or heard before."

Last year, a group of Tampa Bay musicians from different bands got together and paid tribute to George Harrison by performing the "All Things Must Pass" album on it's 40th anniversary. (Yours truly on keys and tabla)

We love you George!
