Organized for the relief of refugees from East Pakistan (now independent Bangladesh) after the 1970 Bhola cyclone and during the 1971 Bangladesh atrocities and Bangladesh Liberation War, the event was the first benefit concert of this magnitude in world history. It featured an all-star supergroup of performers that included Bob Dylan, Eric Clapton, George Harrison, Billy Preston, Leon Russell, Badfinger, and Ringo Starr.

Damn, you don't know how much I would have KILLED to be at this concert! I'm one of the man's biggest fans, I got all the albums, I know all the songs. And that's why I hate being born in '96. :'(

George Harrison was a transcendent talent, on a par with Paul and John.

@BOSIE321 You knowing more than I about my FAITH is rich. I don't have time for religion just as George didn't. Anything his last album stated has nothing to do with what his beliefs were before he died. It seems your info comes from lyrics. Mine are based on the author of The Beatles biography. I certainly place more credence in what he said than your statements. Also what he taught Dhani has nothing to do with his final beliefs. So, I have "looked it up". Now you should do the same.

@BOSIE321 doesnt sound very christian to me :-)

@mybestbuddy100 I probably know more about your damn religion than you do but thats not the point. George died a hindu not a christian. Look it up. His body was cremated according to Hindu tradition. He was a liflong believer in Krishna. If you had listened to his last album you would know this. The last song on the album features a Hindu prayer and he brought his son up to be a Hindu too.

@BOSIE321 So George was an ex-Catholic. And.... So am I. This only goes to show your stupidity concerning Christianity. Catholicism is a denomination, not a religion. George left the trappings of organized religion and did some searching. In the end his teachings from his boyhood won out. My suggestion to you my friend is to do a little research before you put your foot in your mouth.

@BOSIE321 Another stupid comment from somebody who thinks he's "cool" because he says All gods are equal. Think what you would like buddy. Bottom line is he returned to his Christian faith regardless of what foolishness you would like to believe. I myself am a Beatle' and George Harrison fan. Unfortunately your knowledge on who he was and what he believed doesn't matter. He made the choice so you should be upset with George since he was the "fanatic".

@mybestbuddy100 p.s track number two on his last album released after his death specifically states that he is ex-catholic. Go listen to it :-)

@mybestbuddy100 Just what the world needs.....another damn Christian moron who thinks his Lord is the only way to heaven. I believe also that George died peacefully to the sounds of tradtional HINDU chanting NOT christian prayers but we're getting away from the point. I would argue that George believed that all the gods that mankind worshiped were divine manifestations of one god which were no more no less valid when compared with each other.
