The Concert for Bangladesh (Live)

At least €13,63 will go to the George Harrison Fund for UNICEF for each download of the album featured on this page. Click More below to see details. Shortly after the release of his All Things Must Pass album in 1970, George Harrison organised two benefit concerts at New York’s Madison Square Garden to raise awareness of the troubled situation in Bangladesh. With music from his closest musical friends — Ravi Shankar, Leon Russell, Eric Clapton, Billy Preston, Ringo Starr and Bob Dylan — the resulting album was released in 1971 and is an incredible melding of message and music. From Shankar’s sitar virtuosity to Harrison’s “While My Guitar Gently Weeps” to the surprise appearance from Bob Dylan — this album makes for a rousing, fascinating listen with an undeniable spirit of goodwill under it all. This collection, now celebrating its 40th year, also contains the original studio version of the song “Bangla Desh”. All net proceeds (after taxes) will be donated to the George Harrison Fund for UNICEF at the U.S. Fund for UNICEF. iTunes and Apple Records Inc., the artists, the songwriters and the publishers will keep no income from each album sale and have waived all fees.
