THE CONCERT FOR BANGLADESH (originally spelt THE CONCERT FOR BANGLA DESH) is a live triple album credited to George Harrison And Friends and released on Apple Records on 20th December 1971. The album followed the two concerts of the same name, held on 1st August 1971 at New York's Madison Square Garden. The shows were a pioneering charity event, in aid of the homeless Bengali refugees of the Bangladesh Liberation War. The event brought Harrison and Starr together on a concert stage for the first time since 1966, when The Beatles retired from live performance, and represented Dylan's first major concert appearance in the US in five years. The album cover, designed by Tom Wilkes, consisted of an image of a malnourished child sitting beside an empty food bowl. On release, THE CONCERT FOR BANGLADESH was a major critical and commercial success. Together with the concert film, the album gained Indian classical music its largest Western audience up until that time. It was reissued in 2005, four years after Harrison's death, with revised artwork. Although the cover art has been changed to a image of Harrison, the original iconic image of a sad-eyed child remains prominent in the CD and DVD packaging. This landmark concert has stunningly remastered from the original source tapes and was re-released in deluxe packaging on 24th October 2005. In addition the remastered album includes a previously unreleased track from the concert the Bob Dylan performance of "Love Minus Zero/No Limit".

Hands down, this epochal concert at New York's Madison Square Garden was the crowning event of George Harrison's public life. Ravi Shankar planted the seed, but it was George Harrison who turned this historic benefit concert into reality. Having been moved by his friend Ravi Shankar's appeal to help the homeless Bengali refugees of the 1971 India-Pakistan war, Harrison leaped into action, organizing on short notice what became a bellwether for the spectacular rock & roll benefits of the 1980s and beyond. The large, almost unwieldy band was loaded with rock luminaries. Yet Harrison is in confident command, running through highlights from his recent triumphant All Things Must Pass album in fine voice, secure enough to revisit his Beatles legacy from Abbey Road and The White Album. Shankar's opening raga, "Bangla Dhun," is a masterwork on its own terms. The sitar virtuoso is in dazzling form even by his standards and, in retrospect, Shankar, Ali Akbar Khan, and Alla Rakha amount to an Indian supergroup themselves. The high point of the concert is the surprise appearance of Bob Dylan and he read the tea leaves perfectly by performing five of his most powerful, meaningful songs from the '60s. Controversy swirled when the record was released. Imposed a no-discount policy on this expensive set and there were questions as to whether all of the intended receipts reached the refugees. Yet, in hindsight, the avarice pales beside the concert's magnanimous intentions, at a time when rock musicians truly thought they could help save the world.
