"Concert for Bangladesh"

I remember it well. 40 years ago. Ravi Shankar had asked George Harrison for help.

My friend came to me
With sadness in his eyes.
Told me that he wanted help
Before his country dies.

They have the streaming video on the link. Bob Dylan performed; Billy Preston; Leon Russell; Eric Clapton; and Ravi Shankar. And Ringo was on drums.

P.S. The streaming video is over after today. So here's the song! I listened to "Bangladesh" tonite while I was editing my foray. The sound quality is superb. I had goosebumps listening to this song, which took me back a long long time ago. The Fab 4 were amazing. Also, this is the first concert for charity, way before Farm Aid and Kool Aid.

P.S. I don't need no wah wah!
