The Concert for Bangladesh was the first major music benefit of its kind. Two sold-out concerts at New York's Madison Square Garden in August 1971 brought together an extraordinary assemblage of major artists - including George Harrison, Ravi Shankar, Bob Dylan, Eric Clapton, Ringo Starr, Leon Russell, and Billy Preston - collaborating for a common humanitarian goal and setting the precedent that music could be used to serve a higher cause.
