  • The Concert For Bangladesh was the event title for two benefit concerts organized by George Harrison and Ravi Shankar, held at noon and at 7:00 p.m. on August 1, 1971, playing to a total of 40,000 people at Madison Square Garden in New York City. Organized for the relief of refugees in East Pakistan (now independent Bangladesh), the event was the first benefit concert of this magnitude in world history. It featured an all-star supergroup of performers that included Bob Dylan, Eric Clapton, Ringo Starr, Billy Preston and Leon Russell. From The Concert For Bangladesh album Written By George Harrison Lyrics: My friend came to me With sadness in his eyes Told me that he wanted help Before his country dies Although I couldnt feel the pain I knew I had to try Now Im asking all of you To help us save some lives Bangla Desh, Bangla Desh Where so many people are dying fast And it sure looks like a mess Ive never seen such distress Now wont you lend your hand And try to understand We got to relieve Bangla Desh Bangla Desh, Bangla Desh Such a great disaster I dont understand But it sure looks like a mess I never known such distress Please dont turn away I wanna hear you say Relieve the people of Bangla Desh We got to relieve Bangla Desh Bangla Desh, Bangla Desh Though it may seem so far From where we all are Its something we cant reject That suffering I cant neglect Now wont you give some bread Get the starving fed We got to relieve Bangla Desh Relieve the people of Bangla Desh We got to relieve Bangla Desh
