Concert For Bangladesh [Limited] by George Harrison (CD, Oct-1998, 2 Discs, Virgin Records USA)

As a fan of TRUE ROCK Music for decades now & since I first heard this concert on vinyl, I always knew that this particular Live Concert was indeed the cream of the crop. The lineup was stunning (still hasn't been a better lineup-ever) & the individual performances were amazing at the Least! Even Ringo flubbing his lines on probably his most famous song that he ever sung was epic! And to top it off, the proceeds were going to (& eventually went to) an extremely needy cause. That a bunch of 'drug-crazed Hippies' could do this truly shocked & changed many 'closed-minded' people's additude & hopefully made THEM look in the mirror a bit longer than usual. This is truly & simply the absolute finest live concert ever recorded. If you don't have this in your music collection, you don't have anything at all! thewinkmann@comcast.net

This may have been the first big "relief" concert, at least it's the first one I remember. Even though I really am not into the Eastern music, I still give this album top ratings because there is so much feeling throughout, and a definite sense that these people were truly there for this divine cause, and giving it all they had. I think George Harrison was a good soul, and it comes out so loud and clear on this effort. I love to hear him sing "Bangladesh" and "Beware of Darkness" on this. It's almost like you can truly feel pain coming through in his voice.
