Summary: Never mind George/Bob/Ringo - look at Billy Preston!
Review: Billy Preston almost steals the spotlight from Eric Clapton on his One More Car, One More Rider DVD with his infectious smile and swirling Hammond B3 sounds. On the Concert for Bangladesh he absolutely brings the house down with "That's The Way God Planned It". This and "Jumpin Jack Flash" is worth the price alone.

Summary: Amazing western and eastern music - terrific energy
Review: Both reviews above are "right on" but they leave out one of the great moments in concert music I have ever seen and that is the incredible performance of Ravi Shankar and Ali Akbar Khan.

Summary: Aqui llego el sol (Here came the sun)
Review: Cuando uno piensa que George Harrison era la 3er. opcion compositiva de Los Beatles, ahi uno puede tener una pista de porque eran tan gigantescos. George nos dio canciones que mueven a la alegria, al llanto emocionado o a la sonrisa complice, en La Banda de Todos o como solista. Este Dvd, se acerca a la perfeccion auditiva, de imagen , interepretativa y desde el punto de vista de la emocion. El buen gusto impera . Siendo facil caer en el golpe bajo, apenas tenemos imagenes de George, solo presentes en un cuadro sobre el escenario, mirando al publico y mirando a sus amigos reproducir SU (nuestra) musica de manera maravillosa. Cuando hoy todos se acuerdan de George, y hablan maravillas de su carrera como musico, tras haberlo ignorado por años, me deja pensando cuan injusta (y poco veraz) han sido gran parte de los " criticos musicales" con los Beatles solistas (excepto con John). Quiza dejen de una vez por todas que el amor por Lennon no los enceguezca mas y hablen maravillas de Paul mientras este vivo. Y no que lo hagan cuando ya no este, como siempre. Como con el Gran George.When you realized that George Harrison was 'just" the third composer of The Beatles, you can understand why there were so gigantic. George gaves us songs full of joy & emotion being in The Most Beloved Band or during his solo years. This DVD gets close to perfection, from a musical, visual, and emotional point of view. The songs are played in the same way: perfect. The nice taste is present all the time. George appears (let's say,.. physically) in a big photo over the stage, and that's it. Watching the public and his friends, playing HIS (ours ) music. Today, everybody talks about how great GH was, after almost ignoring him for years. The " musical critics" always preferred John to the other beatles, during the solo years, and have been very unfaithfull and unfair with the other Beatles. Maybe, one day, this love for Lennon don't blind them and will allow them to talk great things about Paul, for example, without waiting that he passed away, like with Dear george.

Review: Everything about this show was top shelf. Bob Dylan in his finest live performance ever recorded. There was nothing not to enjoy here.

Summary: I'll tell you where you can still get this great video...
Review: First of all, to make this a good review, I'll give a few of myimpressions. Bob Dylan and most of the performers here all do a great job, all at their peak. George Harrison is included in that, but Clapton has been better. This concert occurred shortly after the breakup of "Derek and the Dominos" (perhaps the best short-lived group of all-time), and Clapton was just reaching the depths of his dibilitating heroin addiction. He had stopped playing music and spent the bulk of his time at his home, and only came because his friend George Harrison was putting the whole thing together. This was Eric's last public performance until Pete Townshend dragged him back onstage for the famous Rainbow Theater concerts in December of 1973 (which effectively sent him back into the studio and onto a great solo career as well). Still, a great video, and a definite must-have...

Summary: Fantastic for any music lover of the 60-70's...A MUST SEE
Review: First off, I must correct the above synopsis. Jumpin Jack Flash/Youngblood was performed by the incomparable LEON RUSSELL not Redbone! This is a tremendous once in a lifetime adventure of some of rock's greatest legends...George Harrison,Ringo Starr,Bob Dylan, Leon Russell, Eric Clapton......enough said! 5 STARS--enjoy

Summary: It's a must see for any serious fan of classic rock !!
Review: George Harrison and Ravi Shankar's gift to the world and one of the first echoes of the sentiment that Rock'n'roll had a heart and made a difference. The music is great but this concert also needs to be inhaled in visually. The frail Eric Clapton with long hair, Bob Dylan and of course, George Harrison, himself among many others. A great concert all the way through rising up a notch every time you think that it can't get better. And there is perhaps no better end than the encore song which it turns out not surprisingly to be Harrison's "Bangladesh" written about the situation. Great, great show.

Summary: The First & Greatest Benefit Concert. Ever.
Review: Great concert, great music, inept camera work (thus only 4 stars). Sound, produced by Phil Spector, is actually excellent. It is the same as the theatrical version of the concert movie. It can be hard to find. This came at the end of a running, multi-year collaboration between George Harrison, Eric Clapton, the Delaney & Bonnie Band, Dave Mason and a whole host of others including a young Phil Collins. Many of the main musicians except for Bob Dylan had been playing together for years and it shows on the strong renditions of Harrison's songs. Harrison, Clapton, the D&B band and Phil Spector had just finished the All Things Must Pass epic album, and Clapton and others from the crew had recorded the Layla album, also epic. After this some of the same people went on tour with Joe Cocker as 'Mad Dogs and Englishmen.' You simply could not have assembled a better band than this in the early 70s. For this concert, it is the D&B musicians backing Harrison, Ringo Starr, Clapton and every great session player in the vicinity. These performances launched the careers of Billy Preston and Leon Russell and returned Bob Dylan to the radio after a long absence. It starts with Harrison explaining the notion of a benefit concert and how he came to organize it. This was the first benefit rock concert and really has not been equalled since. It also has some songs by Ravi Shankar and a small, all-star band of Indian musicians, as well as a few scenes of the suffering of the starving people of Bangladesh.

Summary: Needs to be on DVD
Review: I also saw this in '72 at the theater and cannot understand why it's not available either. The cd was recently re-issued and after George died I read somewhere that this would out on DVD after this first of the year(this year), it ain't happened. Been waiting for this DVD for years.
