Matches in DBpedia 2014 for { ?s ?p "Hari's on Tour (Express)" is an instrumental by English musician George Harrison, released as the opening track of his 1974 album Dark Horse. It was also the B-side of the album's second single – which was "Ding Dong, Ding Dong" in North America and most other territories, and "Dark Horse" in Britain and some European countries. Among Harrison's post-Beatles solo releases, the track is a rarity, since it is the first of only two genuine instrumentals from 1970 onwards (the other being the Grammy Award-winning "Marwa Blues", from his 2002 album Brainwashed). Harrison recorded "Hari's on Tour" in April 1974 at a spontaneous session held at his home, Friar Park, with the Tom Scott-led L.A. Express, who were touring as Joni Mitchell's backing band at the time. It was the first Harrison song to feature Scott, who became a regular collaborator and served as band leader during Harrison's only solo tour of North America, the much-publicised "Dark Horse Tour" with Ravi Shankar."Hari's on Tour (Express)" was played as the opening number throughout the Harrison–Shankar tour, in November and December 1974. Although music critics and Harrison biographers have generally viewed the album track in a negative light, concert reviewers identified it as an effective opener for the shows. "Hari's on Tour" is one of only two songs from that tour to have been released officially, after a live version was included on the limited-edition Songs by George Harrison Volume 2 EP in 1992.. }
