Rating: Summary: Please remaster the music and release the film on DVD!!! Review: To the recording and retail/distribution industry, an open letter: Please remaster the music and release the original film on DVD!!! Also, as bonus add more footage of all the concerts that were shot. If the record companies do this, we will buy! Also, please have Eddie Kramer remaster the music and release it on at least 180 gram vinyl as well as on CD and SACD, DVDA etc. Do it all, there is no fiscally irresponsible reason not to do so! Sadly, George is now gone and this film is a treasure for us all to enjoy.
Rating: Summary: The Concert For Bangla Desh Review: We can only hope this will be released again someday. One of the greatest concerts, and concert films ever. Remember that this show was almost 30 years ago, with many of the participants already superstars then. 30 years later, Bob Dylan and Eric Clapton are still big contributors, while Ringo Starr, George Harrison, and Leon Russell are still alive and kicking. Maybe George Harrison's recent unfortunate attack will revive some interest in this.
Rating: Summary: Bring back the video ! Review: When I first saw the Concert for Bangladesh back in '72, I knew it was great, but I didn't realise that it is far greater now. As an historical document it is priceless and that alone is reason enough to re-release it as a video or dvd.We owe it to the younger generations of musicians and music lovers to have this concert available to study and emulate. Bring back the Concert for Bangladesh video !
Rating: Summary: WE WANT DVD Review: When this movie came out I saw it four times the first weekend. I love the music! I love the people! I can remember being awed that I was seeing George Harrison IN COLOR...wow, I guess I'm gettin old. I would love to see it on DVD please
Rating: Summary: RE-ISSUE 'Concert for Bangladesh' on DVD, Pls... Review: Who single handily influenced me, at a tender age of 12, to care about the suffering from the great flood that year, George did. And, with kudos from my father, I brought my first ever Benefit Concert record that same year. I am still proud to have had contributed to George's cause that year, and I know I am a better person today because of it. Thanks to him and to my father for opening my eyes to the great many humanitarian causes and needs. I still have the same record some thirty-two years later, and although I had brought the CD several years back, I think it is a high-time for me to buy a DVD to show my kids; my contribution to the Generation X I fondly call them, how a mass of people in this country, regardless of their race, age, gender, religion, all came together under one great flag that year and actually gave God something to smile about. Rumors of financial scandal in the distribution of relief fund immediately following the year of the concert notwithstanding, the noble action of great many that year counts for something. Also notwithstanding, a seemingly lack of sophistication in the making of that concert, but the musicianship and the genuine fan participation still out-shine many present day events. A true 'Jewel' and a true 'Triumph of the Human Spirit'! And it would be a shame and a mockery, if the re-issue of this watershed DVD were being debated today on the ground of profitability. This event is a 'Public Domain', and should belong to the entire human race.
