Release Date: Dec 20, 1971
Recording Date: Aug 1, 1971
The Concert For Bangladesh was the event title for two benefit concerts organized by George Harrison and Ravi Shankar,
held at noon and at 7:00 p.m. on August 1, 1971, playing to a total of 40,000 people at Madison Square Garden in New
York City. Organized for the relief of refugees from East Pakistan (now independent Bangladesh) after the 1970 Bhola
cyclone and during the 1971 Bangladesh atrocities and Bangladesh Liberation War, the event was the first benefit
concert of this magnitude in world history. It featured an all-star supergroup of performers that included Ravi Shankar,
Bob Dylan, Eric Clapton, George Harrison, Billy Preston, Leon Russell, Badfinger, and Ringo Starr.
An album was released later in 1971 and a concert film was released in 1972, with later releases for home video. In 2005,
the film was re-issued on DVD accompanied by a new documentary.
