Concert For Bangladesh
35th Anniversary Commemorated at Madison Square
Garden
August 01, 2006
marks the 35th Anniversary of George Harrison and Ravi
Shankar's Concert For Bangladesh. The concert took
place on August 1st, 1971 at New York City's Madison
Square Garden. The show featured performances by
George, Ravi Shankar, Bob Dylan, Eric Clapton, Ringo
Starr, Leon Russell and Billy Preston.
Olivia Harrison said,
"The 30th anniversary was very much on George's mind
back in 2001 and I am honoured to have helped complete
the project on his behalf. We have done our best to
maximize the effort they made all those years ago,
which has not only benefited thousands of people but
became a model for charitable events over the last
three decades. This anniversary re-issue has generated
more funds for UNICEF, as well as renewed the
recognition I think George and Ravi deserve for
responding to the humanitarian crisis of that
time."
Madison Square Garden
marked the day with a permanent plaque commemorating
the 35th Anniversary of the Concert For Bangladesh in
their "Walk of Fame." The plaque was presented to
Olivia Harrison and will be placed in Madison Square
Garden's Walk of Fame commemorating the 35th
Anniversary of Concert For Bangladesh.
Olivia said, "It is
truly heartening that the significance of The Concert
For Bangladesh -- and the pioneering spirit of George,
Ravi Shankar and their friends, still resonates after
35 years."
"In 1971, at the
behest of Ravi Shankar, when George Harrison pulled
together musicians like Bob Dylan, fellow Beatle Ringo
Starr and Eric Clapton to perform at Madison Square
Garden for The Concert For Bangladesh, he created the
template for all of the many music benefits that have
followed," said Jay Marciano, president, MSG
Entertainment. "We are proud to commemorate the 35th
anniversary of the Concert For Bangladesh on our Walk
of Fame. Today, August 1st, the concert anniversary,
George Harrison's wife, Olivia Harrison, is here to
help us remember how music can help create change.
It's events and benefits like these that make Madison
Square Garden such a special place for both artists
and fans."
 
"The Concert For
Bangladesh - George Harrison & Friends," released
on DVD and CD last autumn, was recently certified 3
times platinum by the RIAA. All artists' royalties
from the sales of the DVD and the CD continue to go to
UNICEF. In commemoration, Ravi Shankar and Ringo Starr
were presented with plaques, in New York and Los
Angeles respectively.
