Repost The Beatles George Harrison plays “Here Comes The Sun” to a sold out audience at The Concert For Bangladesh, Madison Square Garden on August 1st 1971, accompanied by Pete Ham of Badfinger. Alerted to the scale of the suffering by his friend Ravi Shankar, George Harrison organised The Concert For Bangladesh, with proceeds going to UNICEF USA. Two sold out concerts at New York’s Madison Square Garden brought together an extraordinary assemblage of major artists collaborating for a common humanitarian goal – setting the precedent that music could be used to serve a higher cause. The all-star line-up of fellow artists included Bob Dylan, Eric Clapton, #RingoStarr, Leon Russell, Billy Preston and, of course, Ravi Shankar. “The musicians were great. I mean they completely put down their own egos to play together and to do something because the whole vibe of that concert was that it was something bigger than the lot of us.” – George Harrison You can stream the Concert For Bangladesh music here: #ForEveryChild

Recorded on the first anniversary of George Harrison's death, Concert for George was a beautiful night for music. Eric Clapton, Paul McCartney, Tom Petty, Billy Preston, Ringo Starr, Jeff Lynne, Harrison's son, Dhani Harrison and many more shared the same stage in honour of George. Here's a beautiful performance from that night, While My Guitar Gently Weeps. Such a powerful stage with full of George's friends and such a beautiful song to play. #GeorgeHarrison #EricClapton #PaulMcCartney #TomPetty

One of the greatest moments in Rock & Roll Hall of Fame history almost didn’t happen. In 2004, during George Harrison’s posthumous induction, Olivia Harrison initially didn’t want Prince on stage for “While My Guitar Gently Weeps.” She wanted only people who actually knew George to perform the tribute. After some persuasion from the show’s producer and Tom Petty, she changed her mind. Prince stepped forward… and delivered one of the most legendary guitar solos ever captured live. The rest is history.

During the 2004 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony, held in tribute to George Harrison, an all-star performance of “While My Guitar Gently Weeps” brought together Tom Petty, Jeff Lynne, Steve Winwood, Prince and Steve Ferrone. Prince’s solo delivered with little indication beforehand of just how explosive it would become, completely stole the spotlight, leaving the other musicians visibly stunned onstage. The performance has since become one of the most celebrated moments in Rock Hall history.
