	The Concert For Bangla Desh
		Bangla Desh demands for a more equal treatment were consistently disregarded.
		The results of the election were consequently disregarded and in March, 1971, a deliberate reign of terror was unleashed on Bangla Desh to eliminate opposition to West Pakistani domination and to drastically reduce the size of the population of Bangla Desh.
		The Concert for Bangla Desh was held on August 1, 1971 at Madison Square Garden, New York City.

	The Concert For Bangla Desh - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Concert For Bangla Desh is a live triple album and double DVD by George Harrison and celebrity friends performed in aid of the homeless Bengali refugees of the 1971 Bangladesh Liberation War.
		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 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.
		In October 2005, Apple and Rhino Entertainment jointly re-released the concert album and film on remastered CD and as special edition two-DVD set.

	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.

		The Concert for Bangla Desh is rock reaching for its manhood.
		His presence throughout undermined from the beginning the super-star quality of the evening and put the emphasis on the concert as a fraternal gathering of musicians devoted to a single charitable purpose.
		Besides everything else, Bangla Desh was a great show, brilliantly put together by an artist who not only knew how to assemble a lot of great musicians but had an instinctive feeling for how best to present them and their music with honesty, dignity, and maturity.

		In 1971, tens of thousands of refugees were fleeing into India from Bangla Desh, as the government in West Pakistan was attempting to assert its complete dominion over the eastern half of the nation.
		Bangla Dhun is an incredibly long track that displays all of the mystical beauty and, to many listeners, wholly unknown sound of the sitar and other Asian instruments.
		The concert was a great success, raising almost two hundred fifty thousand dollars for the cause, and fans of George Harrison and Bob Dylan will definitely want to add this two-disc album to their CD collections if possible.

		Before We Are the World, before the Amnesty International concerts, before Live Aid, Live 8, 46664, and all the other charitable and/or political events that have used popular music as their principal draw, there was George Harrison's 1971 Concert for Bangladesh, a stirring affair released here in a fine two-disc set.
		Up to that date, it was the most microphones/tracks ever used to record a concert.
		Also notwithstanding, a seemingly lack of sophistication in the making of that concert, but the musicianship and the genuine fan participation still out-shine many present day events.
