In 1971, George Harrison organized the Bangladesh Concert at Madison Square Garden, featuring friends like Ringo Starr, Bob Dylan, and Eric Clapton. The event raised funds for aid to Bangladesh, which was devastated by a cyclone and war for independence. Despite challenges like last-minute lineup changes and stage fright, the concert was a success, raising over $240,000 for UNICEF and setting a precedent for future benefit concerts by rock musicians.
