George Harrison and Ravi Shankar's 1974 North American tour was a 45-show concert tour of the United States and Canada, undertaken by English musician George Harrison and Indian sitarist Ravi Shankar in November and December 1974. It is often referred to as the Dark Horse Tour, since the concerts served as a launch for Harrison's record label Dark Horse Records, to which Shankar was one of the inaugural signings, and Harrison's concurrent single was the song "Dark Horse". The release of his delayed album, also titled Dark Horse, followed towards the end of the tour. The shows featured guest spots by Harrison's band members Billy Preston and Tom Scott.

  • Il Dark Horse Tour, anche noto come George Harrison & Ravi Shankar's 1974 North American Tour, fu una tournée svoltasi nel novembre e dicembre 1974, costituita da 30 date dove furono eseguiti 45 concerti negli Stati Uniti e in Canada, dal musicista britannico George Harrison insieme al musicista indiano Ravi Shankar. Il tour servì da promozione per gli album Dark Horse dell'ex-Beatle, e di Ravi Shankar con la sua orchestra (quest'ultimo pubblicato dalla Dark Horse Records, etichetta discografica di proprietà dello stesso Harrison). La pubblicazione dell'album Dark Horse subì dei ritardi dovuti ai molteplici impegni che George si era sobbarcato all'epoca e ai suoi problemi di voce, ed avvenne solo in prossimità della fine del tour. Il tour venne "massacrato" dalla critica musicale, e si rivelò uno dei più fallimentari della storia del rock. A Harrison furono rimproverati (oltre all'incerta voce) il troppo spazio dato alla sezione indiana e il rimaneggiamento di canzoni dei Beatles (in particolare la lennoniana In My Life mutò da «In my life I love you more» a «In my life I love God more»). Harrison rimase molto scottato da questo insuccesso, tanto da non organizzare più alcun tour fino a quello giapponese del 1991. (it)
