"Concert For Bangladesh"

 
 
 
 

"The Concert For Bangladesh" was the first of its kind back in the day. Put together by George Harrison in a response to his friend and mentor's pleas, Ravi Shankar, the all star cast at Madison Square Garden included: Eric Clapton, Ringo Starr, Billy Preston, Leon Russell among others. Bob Dylan was invited to attend, but seems he was nervous at playing in such a big venue. In fact, George didn't know if he would participate until the last minute. Here's a clip! v.c.

P.S. And here's the title song.
