George Harrison and Friends: The Concert for Bangladesh Exhibit to Open at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum 10.3.05
Groundbreaking Benefit Concert Examined by Rock Hall
CLEVELAND – The Concert for Bangladesh was the first major
benefit concert of its kind and paved the way for Live Aid, Farm Aid,
Live 8 and the other rock aid events that came later. The Concert for
Bangladesh brought together an extraordinary group of major artists
collaborating for a common humanitarian cause. Organized by George
Harrison, the event sold out Madison Square Garden in New York City,
generated millions of dollars for UNICEF and raised awareness for the
organization around the world. The concert also resulted in a
Grammy-winning triple-album box set and feature film.

An
exhibit dedicated to this event will open in the Rock and Roll Hall of
Fame and Museum’s Circular Gallery on October 20 and will run through
March 26, 2006. The Rock Hall will unveil the new exhibit at a special
Members preview on October 20, 2005.
“In
an era where the all-star benefit concert is a staple in the
entertainment business, it’s important to look back and see where it
all started,” said Jim Henke, chief curator of the Rock and Roll Hall
of Fame and Museum. “George Harrison was the first rock star to be able
to use his fame to not only bring fellow artists together for a cause
but create an awareness about an issue that might have otherwise passed
the world by.”
