 Sterilized, but still good Oct 17, 2009
What I was hoping for was a clean version of my totally worn out album...
What I got was a sterilized version of music that seems to be loved by all the reviewers (and who can't love music from the musicians that assembled to help a noble cause), but is so terribly different than the album.
Little things... like hearing the countdown before While My Guitar Gently Weeps, or tuning before a song and stage banter is all lost on the CD. It's like the CD is trying to be a studio album.
And then, theres the "A couple numbers from Leon..." while the songs are done well, they are not the version that was on the LP and it is our loss.
Oh well - I'll invest in software and hope to clean up the LP import... anything to get the Jumpin' Jack Flash/Youngblood medley right!

 A Classic Music CD Sep 09, 2009
The music is great on this cd and it came in remarkable time. The cover was a little mussed by nothing bad and the Cd is like new.

 Happy Memories Jun 12, 2009
Great music- brings tears to your eyes if you loved George (like everyone should).
Bless George and his legacy- Hare Krishna!
Revive the moment Dec 12, 2008
If you were listening to music when this was released years ago you will be thrilled at having the recording again. If you've never heard this incredible concert then you will be amazed at the display of talent and variation of music found in one sitting. A necessary recording for all Harrison fans as well as for any Dylan fan.

Before Ringo, there was George Harrison and his All-Star Band Jun 01, 2008
This 1971 album was the first of the all-star benefit albums. And arguably the best. In a nut shell, George Harrison, fresh off his success with "All Things Must Pass" raised his profile even further when he joined with Indian sitar master Ravi Shankar for 2 benefit shows at Madison Square Garden. At the time, Bangladesh was ½ a world away and largely unknown and forgotten by Americans and the rest of the world for that matter. Plus it had been born out of a war between religions and torn apart even further by devastating floods. George's idea was simple; gather as many musician friends as he could for a concert and maybe raise some money to aid the citizens of the emerging nation of Bangladesh. But even with his high profile, George was uncertain the shows would even be sellouts, billing it only as "George Harrison & Friends". Other than a few gigs as a sideman, he hadn't performed live since the final Beatles tour in 1966. And never as a solo act. Everyone here was established stars whose careers got a boost as a result of the shows. Harrison wisely lets Shankar open the show with a set of Indian sitar music that receives a warm response from the crowd, before kicking off his own set with "Wah-Wah" from ATMP. Eric Clapton was still in the midst of his heroin addiction, but kept himself together for this show to recreate "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" with George onstage (although in his memoirs, he regretfully admits that the haze of drugs fogged whatever memories he has of the show). Ringo Starr contributes a rousing version of "It Don't Come Easy", complete with lyric flubs. Bob Dylan was the big surprise here, it was questionable weather or not he'd show up at all. Like Harrison, he'd largely retreated from live performances (the last being at the Isle of Wight Festival the year before). Here, he does a 5 song acoustic set with help from George and Leon Russell (an extra Dylan song is included as a bonus track). We can only imagine (sorry, Mr. Lennon!) what George could've been as a solo performer live. For his own songs, he performs here with a great ease, especially on the delicate rendition of "Here Comes the Sun". But other than a disastrous 1974 tour, he rarely ever performed live again except in situations like this where he could fade into the background if he chose and let others like Dylan, Billy Preston or Ringo bask in the spotlight. The context of this show certainly forced him to give his all.
