@@extanegautham8950 Hello. You've been uploading videos of orchestras. I am uploading videos of my dog. My dog went to heaven on February 19th, so I'm currently looking for a new dog family.
George Harrison's Concert for Bangladesh help make a desperate situation better. It created a ripple effect -- the model for USA for Africa (We Are The World), Farm Aid, Live Aid, etc. Big star with a big heart.
@@user-fk2vr4uh8c While the musicians were all volunteers, the money went into necessary costs, I do Not know exactly, but finances that may concern ticket sales, maintenance of the land they used, washrooms etc. added up to equal the profits.
I went as a child in the early 70s to find this album for my brother it was his BDay brother. He is gone now. I am 57 now. Thank You George Harrison. Love you & Brother. Thanx.
Buen disco introspectivo,la vida es muy extraña y corta y cuando somos maduros y sabemos lo que queremos resulta que pierdes a tus padres,amigos,y echas de menos juntarte con los colegas algún día como antes,todo pasa tan rápido o es imaginación mía de un carroza.
It's all so good. Ravi, Wah Wah , Billy Preston, Ringo just being there, & Leon . The Master of Space & Time is off the charts amazing on this. George bringing Clapton to the gig to help get him out of his heroin addiction days, and Dylan back after his motorcycle accident hibernation. This is a gem. 28 years ago I was wandering through the newly opened Experience Music Project EMP in Seattle Washington and there was a small auditorium I walked into. It was accousticaly perfect with a very large screen. I got there for the start of the film & was glued to my seat until 5 minutes after it was done. The sound was incredible & right in front of a large screen of the concert.
Bangladesh has a long and turbulent history. The country was dominated by various powers, including the Mughal Empire and the British, before gaining independence in 1971. [Skrivanek]
As per IMF, Bangladesh has been ahead of India for four years at a stretch in terms of per capita GDP. The country has had a higher per capita GDP than Pakistan for eight years now. Bangladesh’s per capita GDP is USD 2621 while India has USD 2,612 and Pakistan has USD 1,471. [Prothom Alo English]
Gracias George por tu música y por todo lo que has aportado al mundo ❤Dios te tocó con su mano y pocas estrellas del Rock han tenido una evolucion espiritual tan grande como. tu, donde quieras que estés gracias y solo con oír tu voz has aportado magia a mi vida❤❤❤
I'll always remember my friend and I seeing the movie of this concert when it came out in theaters back when we were in high school. We sat in the front row seats in the theater, felt like we had front row seats at the concert. It was such a great experience!
I was fortunate enough to have been invited to this historic concert by people from Grey Advertising inNYC.The concert was held at MSG, where else? My girlfreind and I were only 18 in August of 1971. It was an extrodinary show and Ravi Shankar's contribution was the work of a real master. I remember being astounded to find Andy Williams sitting right in frount of me. We shook hands and spoke for a moment and I was suprised to see him there. I was very young at the time!
How amazing. I was looking through this special antique box filled with R+R memorabilia from the 70s. Incredible stuff I have not seen in years. Way more than I could describe here. At the very bottem I found my torn ticket half from the Concert for Bangladesh. I had saved it because the event was so special. According to the ticket the price was $5.50. I did not buy it myself, I was a guest but it's hard to believe today. I was in sec. 320 row.F seat 8 with Andy Williams sitting directly in front of me. It's a weird coincidence because I just posted a comment on this very subject yesterday. ( I think) I'm listening to the concert on my I Phone as I write this. Leon Russel is performing his wild ass confessional cover of Jumping Jack Flash.The music, the ticket, I've just traveled more than 50 years back in time. Incredible!!
I bought this album when I was 15. Loved it then and probably even more now. It was the first benifit concert of its time. So many great players too. I always remember Aug 1st 1971 for this. Thanks for sharing.
- In the beginning it was said: "Sell everything you have and give it to the poor" - In 1971 it was said: "We give a concert and what we get, for the poor" - In 2024 it is said: "I will steal from your payroll whatever I want, a part so that the poor continue to vote for me and the rest for me and my band of thieves called the socialist party or socialdemocrat party or comunist party" As you can see, over the years the matter has been optimized, more and more is stolen from others, but no one gives of theirs voluntarily.
YEAH GEORGE WHEN I WAS YOUNG I WISHED TO PLAY ON SITAR BUT I PLAYED AN IRON BASS GUITAR AND SING IN THE BAND BUT THEN I WISHED TO BE A SCULPTOR YOU BOYS REST IN PEACE I LIKE TO LISTEN TO YOU
By August 1971, when George Harrison, Ravi Shankar and friends took the stage at Madison Square Garden to play The Concert for Bangladesh, 10 million East Pakistani refugees had fled over the border into India with scant hope of surviving inevitable hunger and disease. [George Harrison | Official]
Sitting at a press conference that opens the performance film, The Concert for Bangladesh, he was asked why, out of all of the crises in the world, he assembled a benefit for refugees from what was then East Pakistan. In a tone reflecting why he was dubbed "the quiet Beatle," Harrison responded simply, "Because I was asked by a friend if I'd help, that's all." That friend was legendary Indian musician Ravi Shankar. 6:09 [NPR]
I was around when it was released and it was anything but underrated. Not sure where you're getting that from but every video that has a band or music someone always says they're underrated
@@johnurban7333 Well, I would start by saying that of all the mega concerts, it is probably the least talked about on social media. That's my impression, I haven't taken any polls! It may have something to do with it's lack of availability to modern audiences due to legal reasons, which thankfully has started to wane in recent years and have more of a presence on hosting sites. I remember trying to buy a dvd copy several years ago, and the only copies available were extremely expensive. I think that situation has also been corrected.
@@johnurban7333 Absolutely!,,,,I am really tired of these terms like "Most underrated"...what even does it mean?!?..:)....these and the "No Auto-tune" comments!
George Harrison - Concert For Bangladesh ---From Wikipedia - - - The Concert for Bangladesh (or Bangla Desh, as the country's name was originally spelt)[1] was a pair of benefit concerts organised by former Beatles guitarist George Harrison and Indian sitar player Ravi Shankar. The shows were held at 2:30 and 8:00 pm on Sunday, 1 August 1971, at Madison Square Garden in New York City, to raise international awareness of, and fund relief for refugees from East Pakistan, following the Bangladesh Liberation War-related genocide. The concerts were followed by a bestselling live album, a boxed three-record set, and Apple Films' concert documentary, which opened in cinemas in the spring of 1972. The event was the first-ever benefit of such a magnitude and featured a supergroup of performers that included Harrison, fellow ex-Beatle Ringo Starr, Bob Dylan, Eric Clapton, Billy Preston, Leon Russell and the band Badfinger. In addition, Shankar and Ali Akbar Khan - both of whom had ancestral roots in Bangladesh - performed an opening set of Indian classical music. The concerts were attended by a total of 40,000 people, and the initial gate receipts raised close to $250,000 for Bangladesh relief, which was administered by UNICEF. After collecting the musicians easily, Harrison found it extremely difficult to get the recording industry to release the rights for performers to share the stage, and millions of dollars raised from the album and film were tied up in IRS tax escrow accounts for years, but the concert has been recognised as a highly successful and influential humanitarian aid project, generating both awareness and considerable funds as well as providing valuable lessons and inspiration for projects that followed, such as Live Aid By 1985, through revenue raised from the Concert for Bangladesh live album and film, an estimated $12 million had been sent to Bangladesh, and sales of the live album and DVD release of the film continue to benefit the George Harrison Fund for UNICEF.

One that is often left off the list is Stephen Stills. Manassas had played the Garden the night before. Stills left the stage, lights, and sound equipment in place. And kept the roadies and techs there also. All he wanted was to be a part of the show. He waited in Ringo's dressing room and was not called to the stage.

I am blown away from many years ago this tune, oh shootz. Leon coming outta no where and that female vocalist singing with an enormous brilliance. Who is she? Of course, Billy Preston
The ending to Billy Preston's rousing performance of That's the Way God Planned it" brings tears to my eyes every time. It's the only song that has that effect on me. I'm not even sure why.
souvenir ; j' étais ado le choc des yeux ouverts sur les injustices du monde , grâce à cet album ! Bon j' y croyais avec la naïveté de mes 14 ans mais tout de même !
la naivete est un don: 'some of us are prisoners, the rest of us are guards' pour citer Zimmy qui etait la, dans le Madison Square Garden, yup, close to Pen Station. & puis le public ! les applaudissements quand Ravi & ses amis avaient accorde leurs instruments... & puis Billy qui n'avait pas le droit d'y participer ! neanmoins, l'evenement fut une sensation exceptionelle. d'ailleurs, les deux concerts n'etaient pas tout-a-fait identiques. (cf. 'playlists' de Bobbio.) Lennon, absent, d'ailleurs, se demandait plus tard si l'evement avait ete efficace... optons pour une certaine naivete.
"All Things Must Pass" was a hit and allowed him to headline Madison Square Garden. It was the most successful post Beatles album for a long time. Two incredible achievements. Some of the most memorable Beatles songs are by him as well. Thank you George. 🕉
@michaeldunning the seats we had were great, people I was with were very cool.And along with the concert itself I met and spoke to Andy Williams of all people!
the George Harrison album All Things Must Pass was released in 1970.... This concert for BanglaDesh was a first of its kind. Pls correct me if I'm wrong to say so... A Beatle will always do some thing first and at the right time.
Es una vergüenza que en un país que tuvo peores problemas que México ahora sea un ejemplo de superación!... Nuestro país está en mala situación. Los nuevos gobiernos no aprenden de otros. Abrazos a la humanidad...y a quienes todavía creen en la raza humana.
We havent had a star concert for world relief since feed the world....with sooo many mothers and children suffering wars famine poverty...worldwide a t m watching grammys etc seems purile
КАКОЙ ДУШЕВНЫЙ ПОСЫЛ БАНГЛАДЕШ БАНГЛАДЕШ БАНГЛАДЕШ СЛЫШЕТИ ЛЮДИ!!! БЫЛ Я В ЧИТТАГОНГЕ 25 ЛЕТ НАЗАД И НЕДАВНО СЕЙЧАС ВПЕЧАТЛЕНИЕ НО ЖИВУТ ВОПРЕКИ ВСЕМУ ЭТИ ЛЮДИ ТАМ НАМ НЕ ПОНЯТЬ НО ПО ЧЕЛОВЕЧЕСКИ НАДО ПОНЯТЬ

To J: Boy you have it wrong, this is from someone who was there. He tried to get the other 2 for the concert and they declined due to other projects. Bangladesh was going through a very severe famine and their friend Rave Shankir approached them to organize a relief project and both Harrison and Ringo immediately said yes and with other friends the concert for Bangladesh was born. One night only at Madison Square Gardens and all revenues All went to help feed the millions who were starving. Do you homework and check it out. I had 3rd seat 3rd row right near the Ilse center. It's too bad the sound track did not include the whole concert, although most of it was covered.
@@nanchanger no I do not trust in big corporations. But I trust in myself and all the people that will do others good in the everyday life of the world.
George was a spiritual guy n songwriter that compositions echoed in your subconscious forever more with a reverence of grace to encourage hope on the himan spirit🎉 Stevie Ray did it with the blues 😢 both gone but not forgotten❤
Well, I was 10years by then, but later i wasn't fooling around so I bought the special edition box, with booklet,DVD,CD , extras ,interview ,etc etc. Oh and a special poster from the event. If someone buy it today, you're still helping The George Harrison foundation wich is connected to UNICEF. So...
The best version of Beware Of Darkness can be found on this set! When Leon starts singing, the verses take on a very different meaning, the song gets darker. It really works! You have to watch the film, though.
Muito bonito e lindo demais maravilhoso, fabuloso fora de série , extraordinário , excelente, agora uma pergunta: o que fizeram com o dinheiro arrecadado ? O dinheiro do Band Aid foi convertido em armamentos na África

The Beatles bandmates always seemed to break boundaries and do so many things other told them were career wreckers or forbidden. They didn't care, they came with a message for humanity and were gonna deliver that message.

One that is often left off the list is Stephen Stills. Manassas had played the Garden the night before. Stills left the stage, lights, and sound equipment in place. And kept the roadies and techs there also. All he wanted was to be a part of the show. He waited in Ringo's dressing room and was not called to the stage.
@@gelubatir9794 Thanks for sharing the post
underrated artist
52 years ago - i wonder what's become of the child - the potrait does convey the depth of the suffering -
- In the beginning it was said: "Sell everything you have and give it to the poor"
- In 1971 it was said: "We give a concert and what we get, for the poor"
- In 2024 it is said: "I will steal from your payroll whatever I want, a part so that the poor continue to vote for me and the rest for me and my band of thieves called the socialist party or socialdemocrat party or comunist party"
As you can see, over the years the matter has been optimized, more and more is stolen from others, but no one gives of theirs voluntarily.
Child looks healthy as can be.
Their governments pocket all $$ and food, then hand out peanuts.. A fact found out in the 1990s
nothing has changed since then...money lines the pockets of people with greed now...despots all
@@RollerVol he asked about the child not about greed
yes one of my favorites in my young life i love it
I love this concert i have a couple copies on vinyl, double cd and DVD.. amazing performers,ao many passed
I remembered listening to this record back when I was a student. Thanks for the upload.
Vi la película en el entonces cine Insurgentes de la misma Glorieta y me encantó ver a tan grandes artistas y enormes seres humanos
I wasn't there but I wish I had been!!!!
I am blown away from many years ago this tune, oh shootz. Leon coming outta no where and that female vocalist singing with an enormous brilliance. Who is she? Of course, Billy Preston
@beatlealex9129 she blows my mind then and today. Unreal. 💖🤙🏽🏝🌸
내가 젊은 시절 많이 듣던 음악 입니다.. 고맙습니다...
The ending to Billy Preston's rousing performance of That's the Way God Planned it" brings tears to my eyes every time. It's the only song that has that effect on me. I'm not even sure why.
souvenir ; j' étais ado le choc des yeux ouverts sur les injustices du monde , grâce à cet album ! Bon j' y croyais avec la naïveté de mes 14 ans mais tout de même !
la naivete est un don: 'some of us are prisoners, the rest of us are guards' pour citer Zimmy qui etait
la, dans le Madison Square Garden, yup, close to Pen Station. & puis le public ! les applaudissements
quand Ravi & ses amis avaient accorde leurs instruments... & puis Billy qui n'avait pas le droit d'y
participer ! neanmoins, l'evenement fut une sensation exceptionelle. d'ailleurs, les deux concerts n'etaient
pas tout-a-fait identiques. (cf. 'playlists' de Bobbio.) Lennon, absent, d'ailleurs, se demandait plus tard
si l'evement avait ete efficace... optons pour une certaine naivete.
un gran concierto a beneficio x George Harrison saludos desde Morelia Michoacan Mexico
George flew out of the gate just after the Beatles broke up. The Concert For Bang…was proof it.
"All Things Must Pass" was a hit and allowed him to headline Madison Square Garden. It was the most successful post Beatles album for a long time. Two incredible achievements. Some of the most memorable Beatles songs are by him as well.
Thank you George. 🕉
@prajnatan Am in total agreement with you. Could'nt have said it better myself!
Muchos grandes en el concierto. Los escuché por primera vez a los 15 años teniamos el album de pasta. Gracias, saludos desde Montevideo.
@michaeldunning the seats we had were great, people I was with were very cool.And along with the concert itself I met and spoke to Andy Williams of all people!
the George Harrison album All Things Must Pass was released in 1970....
This concert for BanglaDesh was a first of its kind. Pls correct me if I'm wrong to say so...
A Beatle will always do some thing first and at the right time.
Es una vergüenza que en un país que tuvo peores problemas que México ahora sea un ejemplo de superación!... Nuestro país está en mala situación. Los nuevos gobiernos no aprenden de otros. Abrazos a la humanidad...y a quienes todavía creen en la raza humana.
I agree a great concerto for a great cause very lovely
Two members of Traveling Wilburys!
Yeah for sure.
We havent had a star concert for world relief since feed the world....with sooo many mothers and children suffering wars famine poverty...worldwide a t m watching grammys etc seems purile
Remember it well 😢
КАКОЙ ДУШЕВНЫЙ ПОСЫЛ БАНГЛАДЕШ БАНГЛАДЕШ БАНГЛАДЕШ СЛЫШЕТИ ЛЮДИ!!! БЫЛ Я В ЧИТТАГОНГЕ 25 ЛЕТ НАЗАД И НЕДАВНО СЕЙЧАС ВПЕЧАТЛЕНИЕ НО ЖИВУТ ВОПРЕКИ ВСЕМУ ЭТИ ЛЮДИ ТАМ НАМ НЕ ПОНЯТЬ НО ПО ЧЕЛОВЕЧЕСКИ НАДО ПОНЯТЬ

Great singer and Band..wonderfull vinil. 🎸
Ravi kicks butt!😊
Very good!
40:28 - It Don’t Come Easy [Ringo Starr] forgotten lyrics read the book beatles from a to z
I was at the one of the early shows with my mom. I was 13 and mom scored the tickets
I remember it well at madison square garden
I have this original printing from when I was younger.
"Something" is part of "Just Like A Woman" it's not separate with it own time slot.
Couple a numbers from Leon !!! Classic…
Got me through some real hard times. I have album to this day & crank it every chance I get.
To J: Boy you have it wrong, this is from someone who was there. He tried to get the other 2 for the concert and they declined due to other projects. Bangladesh was going through a very severe famine and their friend Rave Shankir approached them to organize a relief project and both Harrison and Ringo immediately said yes and with other friends the concert for Bangladesh was born. One night only at Madison Square Gardens and all revenues All went to help feed the millions who were starving. Do you homework and check it out. I had 3rd seat 3rd row right near the Ilse center. It's too bad the sound track did not include the whole concert, although most of it was covered.
No, too bad you forgot a tape recorder...
Am I wrong, I herd George said the money form this concert was held back fore some reason.
@@johnvidarhenriksen926 always is, lots of people means lots of skimming... Do you trust United Way and Unicef?
@@nanchanger no I do not trust in big corporations. But I trust in myself and all the people that will do others good in the everyday life of the world.
@@johnvidarhenriksen926 but you don't know just by looking at someone, there are some very good big corporations...
George did more for people than Lennon who only talked garbage and cried for himself.Harrison was a good man.
Clown statement. None of them were perfect.
George was a spiritual guy n songwriter that compositions echoed in your subconscious forever more with a reverence of grace to encourage hope on the himan spirit🎉 Stevie Ray did it with the blues 😢 both gone but not forgotten❤
Well, I was 10years by then, but later i wasn't fooling around so I bought the special edition box, with booklet,DVD,CD , extras ,interview ,etc etc. Oh and a special poster from the event. If someone buy it today, you're still helping The George Harrison foundation wich is connected to UNICEF. So...
Maravilloso George ❤ donde quieras que esté al lado de la LUZ que Ilumina el mundo❤
George put action with his prayers.
The night of the concert I had just returned from India.
The best version of Beware Of Darkness can be found on this set! When Leon starts singing, the verses take on a very different meaning, the song gets darker. It really works! You have to watch the film, though.
Muito bonito e lindo demais maravilhoso, fabuloso fora de série , extraordinário , excelente, agora uma pergunta: o que fizeram com o dinheiro arrecadado ? O dinheiro do Band Aid foi convertido em armamentos na África
great film
Je l.ai vu dans une salle de cinéma , on devait être maxi une dizaine de personnes , un régal😃
MAIOR BANDA DO MUNDO!!!
Era when Dylan actually sounded good
TAKE ME HOME WITH YOU MR. TAMBOURINE MAN YOU ARE MY MAN AND EACH RICH MAN SHOULD HAVE AN ARTIST TO FEED HIM AND LOVE HIM

❤Есть винил 3Lp Holland и делюкс двд в коробке с буклетом, плакатом-афишей и набором открыток
I remember George and Ravi In Denver changed my life, my older brother took my twin brother and i
Leon was the beast on this record.
The Beatles bandmates always seemed to break boundaries and do so many things other told them were career wreckers or forbidden. They didn't care, they came with a message for humanity and were gonna deliver that message.
I do like Mr.avi sankar ❤❤❤ .He is one of the art masters and also Mr.George Harison. 2 of songs that i do like, That is : While My Guitar and Something. ❤❤❤
Peace shows nor excudes any color
I LIKE HOW YOU INTRODUCED YOUR BAND GEORGE WHERE IS BOB DYLAN HE IS MY MAN
dylan came late
Word !
Harmony is beaconing
Мне очень нравится песня Джорджа Харрисона "Мой повелитель"
Привет из Владивостока❤
