Documented collaborators

The Concert For Bangladesh is more than a concert—it’s a pivotal moment in music history. Organized by George Harrison and Ravi Shankar, two benefit shows were held on August 1, 1971, at Madison Square Garden in New York. The performances united a who’s who of musicians to raise funds and awareness for Bangladeshi refugees, with net proceeds supporting UNICEF. The project blossomed into a star-studded live album (credited to George Harrison & Friends) released in late 1971 and 1972 in the UK, later earning the Grammy Award for Album of the Year in 1973.

The live experience
