The Concert for Bangladesh made its exclusive digital debut on iTunes this week to mark the 40th anniversary of the event.
Proceeds from the album downloads will benefit the George Harrison Fund for UNICEF, which helps to provide emergency relief for children in famine and drought-stricken regions in the Horn of Africa. |
The Concert for Bangladesh took place at Madison Square Garden on August 1, 1971 and featured performances by artists such as George Harrison, Ravi Shankar, Eric Clapton, Bob Dylan, Ringo Starr, Billy Preston and Leon Russell. A triple-disc concert album was released later in the year and a concert film came out the following year.
The 40th anniversary of the show is also being marked by streaming of the Concert for Bangladesh feature film on GeorgeHarrison.com. It will stream for three days, from 11:59 pm EDT today through to 11:59pm EDT on August 1.
