When George was asked by a journalist 'Of all the problems in the world, why did you choose this one?'
He simply responded 'I was asked by a friend if I'd help, you know, that's all.'
August 1st marks the 40 year anniversary for the first EVER organized benefit concert. George Harrison, Ringo Starr, Eric Clapton, Ravi Shankar, Bob Dylan, Billy Preston, Leon Russell, & many other great artists took part for the historic night at Madison Square Garden.
This show lead to Live Aid, Live 8, Live Earth, & many other music-related causes.
To celebrate the 40th anniversary, they are streaming the concert live on www.GeorgeHarrison.com or http://theconcertforbangladesh.com/ for a FREE 72 hours - July 29th 11.59PM (EST)- August 1st 11.59PM (EST)
It's amazing that this historic event came together so quickly just by friends asking one another to come to New York City and take part. George said it himself- he did it with a little help from his friends.
