	The Concert for Bangladesh - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Concert For Bangladesh was the event title for two benefit concerts held on the afternoon and evening of August 1, 1971, playing to a total of 40,000 people at Madison Square Garden in New York.
		The concert was also filmed, although Harrison later complained that half the camera operators appeared to have been indulging in illegal substances, which left the focus of some shots rather soft.
		The concert was satirized in an episode of The Simpsons (I'm with Cupid), in which Apu Nahasapeemapetilon has in his record collection, the Concert Against Bangladesh, with a picture of a mushroom cloud on the cover.

		The two concerts on 1 August 1971 were highly successful - with a cheque for US$243,418.50 being immediately sent to UNICEF for relief - and all involved were pleased with a job well done.
		Initially reissued on CD in 1991, The Concert For Bangla Desh was remastered and re-released - with some editing of the breaks in between the songs - in October 2005 with the addition of Dylan's rehearsal performance of "Love Minus Zero/No Limit", as well as a simultaneous DVD release of the original 1972 Apple film.

	The Concert For Bangla Desh - George Harrison and Friends
		Part of the brilliance of the concert is, first, hearing so many people who we are not used to hearing live at all, and, secondly, hearing musicians we have always admired playing with each other on stage for the first time.
		The Concert for Bangladesh is rightly enshrined in rock history as the model for Band Aid, Live Aid, Live 8 and every other superstar benefit concert of the last three decades.
		In emphasizing the concert's idealism, however, it's easy to overlook what a musical gem this two-disc set is. The musicians are inspired not only by a lofty sense of purpose but also by the thrill of playing alongside two Beatles.

	DVD Verdict Review - The Concert For Bangladesh
		It's a cliché, but the basic premise is still true—back in 1971, the concept of a concert involving an ex-Beatle, a bevy of his famous friends, and a virtually unknown charitable cause was the most radical of political and professional ideas.
		The Concert for Bangladesh is a milestone for many reasons, but along with such other seminal films as Wattstax and T-Rex: Born to Boogie, it still fails to fully resonate with a modern-day audience.
		The Concert for Bangladesh was about a band and a bunch of performers who wanted to put their moxie and musicianship where their money was.

	DVD Times - The Concert for Bangladesh
		The Concert for Bangladesh comprised of two shows, in the afternoon and evening of 1 August 1971, at Madison Square Garden, New York City.
		Bangladesh was originally known as East Pakistan, separated from the rest of Pakistan by about a thousand miles of India, when the country was formed in 1947.
		In the concert, Harrison draws a line under his past: the only Beatles songs played are three of his own: “Something” (the one Sinatra liked so much), “While My Guitar Gently Weeps” and “Here Comes the Sun”, all contenders for the best song he wrote for the group.

		In Dhaka, the sprawling capital of Bangladesh, a small museum on a quiet side road commemorates the country's war of liberation -- a war that, though now dimly remembered, stands among the greatest genocides of the 20th century.
		Oh, and hanging on the wall of the museum is an LP jacket, and inside it the record of a fundraising concert in Madison Square Garden.
		Here we remember the Concert for Bangladesh as the birth of a new kind of political-artistic-philanthropic circus, one of those cases where the first example was also probably the best.

		George Harrison's Concert for Bangladesh on August 1, 1971 was the first rock superstar charity concert for an international cause.

		But part of the record's beauty is that Harrison staged a concert worthy of his purpose in every respect.
		With such an array of talent on hand, he created a program that miraculously avoided comparisons with any previous super-shows by staging it not as a collection of individual performances or fixed sets, but as a revue.
		We fixed it for six weeks but unfortunately it didn’t happen because people recognized him after a week or so and there was such a commotion in Bombay that we had to runaway to Cashmere and live in a houseboat and all that.

		As a teenager, I recall being disappointed that the first concert footage we saw was of Ravi Shankar and his Indian sidemen, but this is a different time and I am astonished at the skill Shankar demonstrates on his sitar and have grown to appreciate his contributions to Harrison's growth as a musician.

		The Concert for Bangladesh was the first of hundreds of blockbuster charity shows that did good while becoming media circuses.
		The Concert for Bangladesh was the theater's first 70mm engagement and there was no way he could handle the heavy reels, so the theater engineered an overhead apparatus to winch the reels from the rewind bench to the projectors.
		The Concert for Bangladesh has an edge on the Beatles' earlier Let it Be in that we can see for ourselves that the performers are having the time of their lives and that the stage camaraderie is no put-on.
