The publicity-shy former Beatle could've easily written a check and forgotten all about the matter--impoverished East Pakistani refugees stranded in India--but instead recruited some of his most talented and compassionate friends and created an event remembered as much for the quality of its music as the purity of its intent. (The two-part engagement itself raised $250,000.) The players include Eric Clapton, Ringo Starr, Billy Preston, Leon Russell, and Bob Dylan, while the backing band includes Jim Keltner, Klaus Voormann, and the up-and-coming Apple band Badfinger (Phil Spector and Harrison produced). The concert took place on August 1, 1971 at Madison Square Garden and was released as a triple-album boxed set that December and a feature film in 1972. That year, it won the Grammy for best album. The program begins with Shankar and his trio ("Bangla Dhun") and ends with a song Harrison wrote for the occasion ("Bangla Desh"). Highlights include Billy Preston's rousing "That's the Way God Planned It" and Dylan's heartfelt five-song set, starting with "A Hard Rain's A-Gonna Fall." The remaster adds an additional Dylan track, "Love Minus Zero/No Limit," from the afternoon show. Although the cover art has been changed to a picture of Harrison, the original iconic image of a sad-eyed child remains prominent in the CD and DVD packaging. As with previous versions of The Concert for Bangladesh, all artist royalties go to UNICEF or, as Harrison notes in his band introduction, "Nobody's gettin' paid for anything." --Kathleen C. Fennessy Review: George Harrison put together quite a show - Great concert, great product, great service! Review: Long ago and far away...... - ... maybe it was in a land quite like Pepperland, there came four men, good men all, who redirected what music could do, what music could stand for, what songcraft could accomplish, and one of them was particularly enlightened. The likes of George we'll not likely see again, and this is one of his truly shining moments: Doing the right thing because it is the right thing to do. Having already been one of the four reasons why everyone else wanted to be in a band, Harrison had shrugged off the mantle of celebrity-fetishization and become something of a disdaining recluse. Yet when the horror of a global tragedy descended upon his consciousness, he responded. Immediately. Got that, Yanks? This is the concert that corrected all the misdeeds and corruption of what had passed as benefits prior thereto, and reset the bar for what benefits should and could do, especially if everyone did the right thing for the right reason. George brought out the best in his colleagues and a night of music brought the Western World to an awareness of how interdependent we all are. There would have been no Bob Geldof, no Imperial Bono without George Harrison. That said, this is p[ossibly the best concert recording of the best concert ever. Maybe you have to have understood the context: 2 Beatles who had last played in public in 1966, Dylan who had dropped out of sight after dropping off his cycle, the very best session players in the world, a few up and coming stars, and the deified Eric Clapton, who with George also reset the bar for what a guitar solo could do, mean and accomplish. The songs were terrific. Harrison for his part, would never be this confident again, but no matter, he was in full command of all of his protean guitar powers and all of them delivered the goods as no one before had and no one since has. The amazing thing is, that the first edition on CD years back was absolutely terrific. The improvements here are more a case of separation of instruments and definition. It is still a pristine experience. Credit the Beatles artistic ethic for that. It's the reason why there has never needed to be a re-mastering of their catalogue, once George Martin turned the records into CDs. George Harrison clearly learned the lessons well. And in the end, the love and the money got to the people who needed it, inspite of the greed. The efforts Harrison had to make to pry the Capitol Records fingers (which happened to be Indian) off the bag of money, and to reclaim the earnings the various corrupt unions and NYC types who thought enough of their fellow man to scam what they could, were successful. In today's dollars, it remains one of the most successful concerts ever. God bless George. THe DVD is brilliant as well. And that has benefitted enormously from better sound and better definition. The money still goes to help people in Southern Asia. The artists involved still have donated what could otherwise have been a great day at the races. God bless each and every one of them. And when the smoke clears, Ravi Shankar and his friend George and their friends gave the world of Music something Music itself could embrace close to its heart. This is why we sing. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B000BF0D88 | | Best Sellers Rank | #34,631 in CDs & Vinyl ( See Top 100 in CDs & Vinyl ) #10 in Indian & Pakistani Music #239 in Rock Singer-Songwriters #280 in British Music | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 4.8 out of 5 stars (259) | | Date First Available | January 28, 2007 | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Label | Capitol | | Manufacturer | Capitol | | Number of discs | 2 | | Original Release Date | 2005 | | Product Dimensions | 5.24 x 5.2 x 0.79 inches; 4.73 ounces | ## Images ![Concert for Bangladesh - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/715ePNT0rkL.jpg) ![Concert for Bangladesh - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71eoasyEDKL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ George Harrison put together quite a show *by M***A on March 4, 2026* Great concert, great product, great service! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Long ago and far away...... *by O***H on October 25, 2005* ... maybe it was in a land quite like Pepperland, there came four men, good men all, who redirected what music could do, what music could stand for, what songcraft could accomplish, and one of them was particularly enlightened.

He was unselfish and while he wouldn't throw cash around he found ways to raise money or create ways of expanding cash flow to increase his net worth and give to charity. This concert was a one and off and I love these performances, what happens, happens, there are moments of brilliance and rarely a missed cue. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hr/products/12394419-concert-for-bangladesh](https://www.desertcart.hr/products/12394419-concert-for-bangladesh) --- *Product available on Desertcart Croatia* *Store origin: HR* *Last updated: 2026-04-24*
