Summary: Don't live another day without it!
Comment: I wore out the grooves in my vinyl and was ecstatic when this was released on DVD. Worth the price of admission alone: 1: Ravi Shankar thanking the audience for appreciating his tuning... and then his INCREDIBLE sitar performance! 2: George singing Wah- Wah...omigod! 3: Eric Clapton... need more be said. 4: Bob Dylan actually FOLLOWING someone!! That would be George. 5: Leon Russell... IS Jumping Jack Flash. 6: Billy Preston -God planned this one for sure!!
In other words... one of a kind. Not to be missed!!!

Summary: My Sweet George
Comment: A beautiful boxed set that even includes a copy of George's handwritten words of the title song. Enjoy the concert again with all of it's great music and energy in disk 1 then enjoy in disk 2 the true labor of love of making this event happen and step into a greater awareness of the extraordinary man that George was not only as a great musician and songwriter but also as a caring soul who dared to pioneer such an event that had such a noble purpose. Thanks George. And thanks to Leon Russell, Billy Preston, Eric Clapton, Bob Dylan...the list goes on! What an important event in history and in music. A timeless masterpiece.

Before We Are the World, before the Amnesty International concerts, before Live Aid, Live 8, 46664, and all the other charitable and/or political events that have used popular music as their principal draw, there was George Harrison's 1971 Concert for Bangladesh, a stirring affair released here in a fine two-disc set. The cause--raising money for the beleaguered people of Bangladesh (formerly East Pakistan), who were ravaged by war, floods, and famine--was enough to attract the support of stars like the former Beatle, who had never fronted a band before, along with Bob Dylan and Eric Clapton, both of whom had been out of the limelight for some years due to various personal problems and choices. Given the little time that Harrison, whose help had been solicited by sitar master Ravi Shankar, had to organize the affair, the results are very impressive indeed: the enormous band, which also features Ringo Starr, Leon Russell, and Billy Preston, is tight, the music (spotlighting tunes from Harrison's All Things Must Pass, along with a few Beatle numbers) inspired, the musicians at the top of their games. (Only Clapton is sub-par; looking out of it and playing weakly, he's a far cry from the guy who, some 30 years later, would spearhead the magnificent Concert for George.) For some, the opportunity to see Dylan onstage with Harrison, Starr, and Russell (playing bass) will be the big attraction. Others will thrill to the remastered DVD sound and restored picture. Still others will revel in an entire disc of bonus material, including three previously-unreleased performances and a documentary featuring new interviews with many of the participants. 1971 was a bleak period in rock history; the Beatles had broken up, Hendrix, Joplin, and Morrison were dead, Woodstock was a distant memory. The Concert for Bangladesh shone like a beacon, a revelation of the better angels that reside within us all. And it still does. --Sam Graham
