Your comment was accurate if you meant to say the first time a Beatle had performed on stage in the US since 1966. 🙂 George had toured in Europe with Delaney and Bonnie in 1969 and John had performed in Canada and the UK in 1969. [Also, I wouldn't take my pronunciation cues from an AI. Anyone riding the bus knows that they often mispronounce the stops. The [a] in Bangladesh is closer to the one that you say, but not quite exactly. You're saying [a:] -- back of mouth - and the AI is saying [ae] -front of mouth. The real [a] doesn't appear in your dialect of English. It is mid, just under the schwa. So keep saying [a:]. Who cares? Besides you said it correctly at 13:40 ish and 17:40 anyway]
Thank you Larsland for this in depth examination of the landmark Concert for Bangladesh. Ringo was filming in Spain and since there was a doubt that he would make it, Jim Keltner was called in. “It Don’t Come Easy” was one of Ringo’s most successful releases and would top out at #4 on the Hot 100 that summer. At points you can hear him faking his way through some of the lyrics which he’d forgotten. Dylan’s appearance catapulted the importance of the concept to historical proportions. It’s hard to gauge today how significant his presence was to rock and the youth culture at that time. Since his last U.S. live appearance he had become almost a mythic figure; the voice of his generation.” The roar that met his appearance speaks for itself.
Really enjoyed this, I had no idea there was so much drama around this concert. I’d love for you to tackle the “Concert for George” someday, might make a nice bookend to this!!
that was wonderfully well researched and presented! Bravo! You mentioned thinking about doing a video on George's friendships, and specifically with Ravi Shankar - do it. Seriously. You'll gain even greater appreciation for both (and their wives, families) and it'll make you cry so many times. Also could look into George and his work with ISKCON... but it's an enormous topic to cover even if you don't get into the actual religious bits. Also, your quip about George being a bit of a woo-woo queen made me laugh, it's true it's true.
One thing that I would love to know more about; I live the 3 LP vinyl set. But I was really disappointed at the re-mixed re release. Not at the sound quality, but that the instrumental was changed. I would presume that Olivia and Dhani had the last word, but the remix really was not necessary and ended up not serving the quality of the performances that the original mix had. I would love the original mix to become available again.
You’re right, I should have gone into that more! I was sooo focused on the event and the money. I’ll be honest I don’t think I listened to the remixed release?? These are things I can address in future videos!😊
Great deep dive of this important event in George’s life/career. Taking a glimpse into the solo Beatles’ stab at benefit concerts could be an interesting series. I don’t know about Ringo and Paul (well I think Paul participated at live aid) but John led the famous One-To-One concert. I’m sure you’re at least somewhat familiar with the concert..? Anyways, the concert in its entirety could be found on TH-cam but maybe that benefit concert could be a video idea to go hand and hand with George’s Concert for Bangladeshi. Regardless, nice video!!
I know verryyy little about that concert. This was really fun to get into so I think the charity aspect is interesting for sure and could be future videos. And thanks!
Yeah, and the fact that it was the last full fledged concert from John gives it even more weight beyond the already weighty charitable cause of the concert
Monterey Pop (1967) was a benefit concert (and one with more major acts than Bangladesh: The Who, Hendrix, The Grateful Dead, Simon & Garfunkel, Mamas & Papas, Byrds, Buffalo Springfield, Big Brother starring Janis Joplin). Ravi was there too (the only performer the festival paid, probably due to travel expense). It just wasn't for a particular cause like Bangladesh was, but for charity generally. The board decided what to do with the money after the event.
Good observation… However… Monterey Pop was a showcase for breaking new acts in the USA by placing them with some established acts of the time, more than a “charity” event… And it DID break new acts very successfully, too Jimi, Janis and Ravi in particular The Concert for Bangla Desh was almost exclusively established and well known live acts and recording stars
John Lennon was not there... he was on his way to Paris after a fight with Yoko after George refused to let her participate... but I was there (the afternoon show) for the whopping price of $4.50. Being there, I can only state it was monumentally powerful in every way. The building levitated, as did the audience. I forever hope the afternoon show will be released, especially with the only ever live performance of "Hear Me, Lord." The only parts of the afternoon show released are the intros, "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" and the Leon Russell medley (on the original release) and "Love Minus Zero" as a bonus track on the remastered version. I was also fortunate enough to be at the One To One Concert in 1972 (evening show)...
Yes, I did... might have misheard the context of your saying "John was there"... anyway, if you ever want to hear my recollections of being at those two shows, here I am.... all the best..
Between this n All Things Must Pass, this was George flowering through the concrete, so to speak. But this concert influenced all benefit concerts that followed. The filmmakers then were still flying by the seat of their pants, trying too hard to be “artistic” themselves and trying to evoke the crowd excitement etc, rather than realizing the camera would function better just capturing the moment as a still spectator itself. Love that he got Dylan back to performing. N still love Leon’s set! I THINK one of ur clips also shows Jesse Ed Davis Great job being the first reactor I know to bring this one up! ❤
Jesse Ed Davis, like Billy Preston, was an enormously talented musician who was largely unknown to the public, but deeply respected by his peers. George had invited him because Clapton’s status was so tenuous.
@@cmorales932Yes. From what I have read, George also considered Peter Frampton as a possible fill in for Clapton. Even to the extend of playing through much of the concert set list with Frampton shortly before the concert.
@@TacomaJ51 Interesting! I had not heard that before, but it makes sense since Peter Frampton played on several of George’s albums. Don Nix who was in Leon Russell’s group also reported that George had invited John Lennon ( living in NYC at the time) to perform , to which he had agreed. One morning prior to rehearsal George and Don went to John’s apartment only to find that John had flown back to England without bothering to let George know.
I can appreciate someone your age appreciating such an iconic piece of music history, the Concert for Bangladesh. Being a Tulsa native, in my old age I've gathered quite a bit of info concerning Leon Russell, his Shelter Records & all who recorded there. I think that may be some missing links in your inventory of knowledge of these musicians. I'm a '56 baby, so George was my first crush & thru the years I've followed him. lol George & Eric were not only in love w/ the same chick, they were also friends w/ Leon, JJ Cale & George recorded at Shelter Records in Tulsa around 1970. Eric's whole band were Tulsa guys & matter of fact, Leon had as much to do with organizing the musicians on the stage at Madison Sq Gardens as George did.....it's in books so I'm not just spouting off, I promise. If you look into Leon Russell: Homewood Sessions, you'll see many of the Bangladesh cast in Leon's Paradise Studios in LA in 1970. Jesse Ed Davis was also at MSG, an Ok City guy. There's a lot of people that could have been on that stage but it was put together in a short amount of time, or so I have read. I wasn't in on the planning. lol Leon was ALL about involving all the people on stage if possible, one possible explaination for his rendition of Jumping Jack Flash/Youngblood. His production talents were many, one reason George contacted him to help him with this project. I'm not trying to be critical, that's not my intention. But the circle of George, Leon, Eric, JJ Cale & even Billy Preston is a tight one. I really have enjoyed hearing the other more geological/religious/territorial turnmoil concerning that event & didn't know most of what you've explained so well. Knowing the whole puzzle for me is the best way. There's TOO much of not providing the whole story going on in our world today!
good lil window into the Master of Space and Time Leon Russell just watch what he did for Joe Cocker in Mad Dogs and Englishmen. But his audiobook auto biography is the stuff of legends
Lars, in your list of rockers, you missed Native American session guitarist Jessie Ed Davis. He is the only one you missed. A very good telling of the best and 1st Benefit Concert! TY!
@@larsland...well that I missed! 'Ts no problem...when George was introducing the horde of musicians on stage...he almost forgot to introduce Billy Preston!🤭
My father was at the Concert for Bangladesh. He doesn't remember however if it was the afternoon show or the evening show. The 1st show setlist was slightly different. However, you feel the night show was superior in terms of energy & confidence.
I was born March 25th 1971.. I had no idea the incident in Bangladesh occurred in my birthday. Yikes 🙀. This has to be one of the biggest cautionary tales for a benefit concert ever told. I’m sure proceeding promoters studied this in fine detail..
Hello @larsland. I very much enjoy your informative online and TH-cam presence. May I nitpick one word in the title of this terrific video? I don’t think that George and Ravi’s efforts were “ruined” by all the post-concert financial shenanigans. After all, multiple millions of dollars and pounds were raised and donated to the crisis in Bangladesh. I might suggest “complicated” instead of “ruined.” A nitpick for sure.
John Lennon had gone onstage in 1969 with his makeshift Plastic Ono Band in Toronto Canada before George did Bangla Desh in 1971. He Had Alan White on drums, Klaus Vorman on Bass, and Eric Clapton in guitar. Also he had Ono it's Yoko screaming her head off has well...sigh...
"the first time a Beatle had gotten on stage since 1966" - John Lennon performed at a rock'n'roll concert in Toronto in 1969. (He then flew back to England and told this bandmates that he wanted to break up the band right then. And basically, he did).
The script said for “one of the Beatles… for HIS first time.” I simply misspoke. ❤ i think it’s obvious here that I know the Beatle performances lmao. Apologies for confusion and I’ve added a clarification in the pinned comment.
Leon was recognized for decades ss one of the best session musicians in music, as well as being one of the most widely seen and heard acts of the 70's. From Sinatra to Elton John, Joe Cocker to the Stones, he played w/ everybody. Bought the album set twice when it came out, and went to see the movie continuously for each weekend that it played near me. I mean every show all day long (I'd hide in the restroom between shows). Always liked the Beatles, but this made me a huge fan of George. If you're a serious Beatle fan you should also check out the documentary Who is Harry Nilsson, and why is Everybody Talking About Him? He was actually a much closer to reality 5th Beatle.
Should have; could have: (1) George allows Columbia to release the Bob Dylan side. The musicians' royalties (Bob, George, Leon and Ringo) go to UNICEF. (2) George releases the majority of the sides under Apple. All proceeds from the Apple release goes directly to George. (3) George reimburses all earnings he derives from the Apple album and film ** and donates these monies in turn directly to UNICEF.
The man who bailed out the Beatles? Hysterical, Fred. BTW, not only did George ultimately do something groovy, 17 mill ain't chump change, he wrote a killer rock track, Bangladesh. And you've tripled your subs, groovier still. Also would love a vid on just one song, Smile Away. What was the inspiration for that track. Unlikely Paul got a whiff of Trump's infamous BO that's been in the news of late. So who was it that inspired that song. Just about my fave MACCA song at this point.
I was there. You weren't born. Great show once Ravi finished. I don't remember it being a hassle for fans or performers back then. Maybe we just didn't complain as much back then.

went on road in europe with Clapton for Delaney and Bonnie. Video is great
Your comment was accurate if you meant to say the first time a Beatle had performed on stage in the US since 1966. 🙂
George had toured in Europe with Delaney and Bonnie in 1969 and John had performed in Canada and the UK in 1969.

Loved this! Stumbled across it almost by accident but once I started watching I couldn't stop. Liked, subscribed, etc. Bravo!

Noted!!!
i love watching long-form content & your Beatles content is so great!! also major props for the almost 8 hrs Lost deep dive video!! it was so great!!
Thank you so much!!!
So much info! Love it!
I've been trying to find long form content on the beatles for a long time now, glad to find your channel, keep it up :)
Awesome, that’s what I’m here for!
How can you not have more viewers? Great work as usual!
❤
Well, too many demands on peoples attention span, unfortunately. But a recommendable effort, not just going for the the easy way out without nuances.
LOCKED up in Lars land. Loved it.
that was wonderfully well researched and presented! Bravo!
You mentioned thinking about doing a video on George's friendships, and specifically with Ravi Shankar - do it. Seriously.

We love him for it.
I would watch that over and over!
Fantastic! Thanks for all your hard work!!!
Thanks so much!!
Al was right, Concert for Bangladesh was discussed at a lecture on benefit concerts for an NGO class I had in college! Great video!

Thanks for the input
How much rehearsal time did everyone have prior to arrival at the Garden? or did they just basically wing it?
About half of them were there for 4-5 days and the other half kind of piled in later on. There was only one rehearsal where everyone was there.
This concert will be forever iconic ❤

Stills has always come off as a jerk. He couldn't contribute to a good cause just for it's own sake. He expected something out of it.
You said it not me 😬
Very true. But any time I hear one of his coked up solos from those 74 reunion shows he wins me back over. Gotta love em
No wonder kieth didn't like him.
I was there. You weren't born. Great show once Ravi finished. I don't remember it being a hassle for fans or performers back then. Maybe we just didn't complain as much back then.
