George Harrison and Friends-The Concert for Bangladesh (Box set)

The Concert for Bangladesh was the first benefit concert of its kind in that it brought together an extraordinary assemblage of major artists collaborating for a common humanitarian cause – setting the precedent that music could be used to serve a higher cause. The concert sold out Madison Square Garden and along with the Grammy Award-winning triple-album boxset and the feature film, has generated millions of dollars for UNICEF and raised awareness for the organisation around the world, as well as among other musicians and their fans. Besides George himself the concert features some of his friends, including: Ravi Shankar, Bob Dylan, Eric Clapton, Ringo Starr, Leon Russell and Billy Preston. Performances include “Here Comes The Sun”, “Something”, “While My Guitar Gently Weeps”, “My Sweet Lord”, “Just Like A Woman”, “Blowin’ In The Wind” and “A Hard Rain’s A-Gonna Fall”. This landmark concert has now been stunningly remastered from the original source tapes and will be re-released in deluxe packaging on 24th October 2005. The deluxe ‘clam-shell’ packaging features restored artwork and a 36 page booklet with many previously unseen photos and new content. In addition the remastered album includes a previously unreleased track from the concert – the Bob Dylan performance of “Love Minus Zero/No Limit”.
